A5 FACILITIES from Al university since 1995. He is a Salt Lake native and holds a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Religion and Theology from Claremont Graduate University. His love for Philosophy branches off from his interest in Religion. He is in the process of writing a book entitled Mormonism and Christian Thought which has been contracted with Oxford University Press. He will be overseeing the Center for Engaged Learning, which may instead become the Office of Engaged Learning. "One important part of my job will be to take what we are already doing and to integrate it and coordinate it so that more students and more faculty know what we are already doing," Birch said. He is hoping that more students will get involved and go the distance to experience what they are here to learn. He is anxious to give them the resources and the opportunities they need to do it. "We are in the early days of our organizational plans," Birch said, "but we are already planning to integrate a group called the Student's Engagement Initiative, where we are hoping students and former students will be the creative part of this group." Birch hopes that the engaged learning profile will communicate the distinctive flavor of the university to everyone. He mentioned that the most important part of this program is to give the students the grounding and the context to be able to apply what they are learning. He also wants to enable them to make connections so that when they graduate, they have a stronger profile and the right connections. He wants them to know how to apply their learning, whether it be in their professional lives, as citizens or in any other area they choose to pursue. These are just some of the highlights from the new associate vice president and the Center for Engaged Learning. Birch said that within a few months, students should be able to notice the differences. The offerings and opportunities they have at this institution will be more apparent and they can become more involved. Aqui y Ahora Esperanza, estimulo espiritual By Gladis Higginbotham Asist. Editora de Noticias lllust{atlon by John-Ross Boyce Psych By Sterling Gray Asst. News Editor Three firemen, laden with oxygen tanks and gas masks, entered the Liberal Arts building during the evacuation on Oct. 1. Three students sat just a few feet to the left of that same door, their backs against the building. Were they panicking? No, just texting. Despite the fire alarm, fire trucks, ambulance and the madly swirling rumors of gas leaks and fires, the general mood among bystanders was a simple shrug of the shoulders. Apathetic acceptance of such a potentially serious situation pervaded. "I haven't noticed anybody being concerned about anything," said student Jordan Maag. Maag was in a math lab when the alarm went off. He said that there was no serious rush for the exits in his class. "The lady that was in charge kind of herded everyone out. Everybody did that [grab their personal belongings] . And they actually had people give books back that they had borrowed for the class. So, there was no emergency." For Mallory Strow, it was the lack of information that prevented panic. "No one's giving any directions, so we don't know what's going on," she said. "We can't exactly panic, because we don't know what to panic about." She also added that none £f We [didn't] know what to panic about. 5 5 -Mallory Strow of the students seemed concerned-because "we're just happy that we don't have to go to class." Bryce Hoer, another student, had his own theory on why everyone wasn't running around screaming. According to him, excitement is only warranted in very extreme circumstances. "I think it takes a building to blow up for people to get concerned. So I think everybody's pretty relaxed right now," All students questioned noted that they were famil- iar with normal emergency procedures, such as leaving behind all personal belongings when exiting a hazardous situation. For some, adherence to this common procedure did more harm than good. "When the alarm went off, I immediately thought it was false and would soon be over. So I just strolled outside," said Jan Wellington, an English professor. Wellington didn't grab her car keys, ID, lunch or anything else before she evacuated. Her biggest concern was her empty stomach and the empty stomachs of her dogs at home. "I'm wondering what to do about my hunger and my need to go home and feed my animals." But she acknowledged the fortunate timing of the alarm. "It's a beautiful day, so I guess people aren't minding being out here as much as they would if it were the middle of the winter," she said. Amongst rumors, loud alarms and canceled classes, it seemed very few, if any, were concerned. Hope, spiritual encouragement for LDS members An English translation of this article can be found at www.uvureview.com Cada seis meses, miles de miembros de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los tiltimos dfas se reunen en todas partes del mundo en busca de palabras de esperanza y estfmulo espiritual de sus lideres. Esta conferencia no fiie" nada differente a las demds, excepto por los mensajes. Los miembros se reunieron en el centro de conferencia de la ciudad de Salt Lake, en capillas en todo el mundo y en la comodidad de sus hogares para escuchar y ser inspirados. Presidente -profetaThomas S. Monson, aconsejb a los hombres j6venes a mantenerse dignos y prepararse para ir a una misi6n. "A ustedes hombres jbvenes que esta"n conviertie"ndose en elderes, les repito lo que los profetas han ensenado desde hace mucho tiempo, que cada hombre joven se debe preparar para servir una misi6n", Dijo Monson, "trabajo misional es una obligaci6n del sacerdocio". Tambie'n les aconsej6 que se mantuvieran saludables y se familiarizaran con los manuales de instrucciones de la iglesia, especialmente el manual de instruction misionai. Monson habl6 tambie'n de agradecimiento. Motiv6 a los miembros de la iglesia a dar gracias por las bendiciones recibidas para abrir las puertas del cielo y poder sentir el amor de Dios. Tambie'n les aconsejo a vivir una vida diaria de ac£\6n de gracias. "Nos hacen felices las posesiones materiales, oh quiz& momentariamente, sin embargo, lo que nos provee una felicidad cornpleta y duradera y agradecimiento son las cosas que el dinero no puede comprar." Dijo Monson. Finalmente, se despidi6 por un receso deconferencias por seis meses. Para leer los mensajes de la conferencia visite www. lds.org No black holes for breakfast By Danni Freeman News Writer "Even though it is technically possible to create a black hole by particle collision, it would not have very much energy and would soon disappear." This was an answer given by Steve Wasserbaech, a physics professor, in response to a student's question during his presentation on Oct. 6 as a part of the school's Science for Breakfast series. This series generally occurs once per semester and features faculty, students and the work that they are doing. Along with this lecture, participants are given a free breakfast. "The series has two goals," said Dr. Daniel Horns, chair of the Earth Sciences department. "One is to BIRCH^omAl parking services building)." For the next seven months, until the new building's projected completion in April of next year, the different sections of Facilities will be split up around campus. The main administration will reside in the Faculty Annex on the east side of campus, with the construction ero'ubs make the community aware of the great work that we are doing here on campus. The second is just to develop the scientific literacy in the community." Wasserbaech has been teaching at UVU since 2002; however, for the past year he has been on sabbatical working at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. This lab is know worldwide for its experiments, one of the more recent achievements being the construction of the Large Hadron Collider; This LHC is a 17-mile tunnel that shoots two proton beams in opposite directions and monitors the collisions that occur, allowing scientists to- study different properties of our universe. "As a physics major, I feel like I should know more about things like this," said Adam Frederickson, a student currently working toward a double major in Physics and Math. "He had useful information and I feel now like I know more about the subject." Wasserbaech still has an affiliation with the work he did at CERN. With this, he hopes to involve students in research analysis during future semesters. The next lecture in the Science for Breakfast series is scheduled foF. next April where Dan Fairbanks, associate dean of Science and Health, will be talking about the genetics of autism for Autism Awareness Month. The good news is that scientists will not be creating any black holes that could swallow the universe any time soon. ; ; located in some buildings adjacent to the future construction site. Parking Services took up residence at the north end of the free student parking lot over the summer. This separation has made it hard for the department to work cohesively, but the new building promises to be worth the wait. According to Michaelis, it will be two stories and have 12,000 square feet. It will also be ADA compliant, with handicapped parking, ramps and other required accessibility features. It even promises to be energy efficient. .;, Although the old buildigg went down without much noise, the new one will help the Facilitie?department breathe a sigh of relief. m - • |
