General education mathematic requirements notoriously stunt would-be graduates during their last year at UVU. It can tarnish otherwise flawless grade point averages, and some students will even spend thousands of dollars to take courses off-campus that guarantee the fulfillment of these requirements. The Math Lab, located in LA 201, is designed to help students who struggle with the subject. Through student tutoring, educational resources and other programs offered in a relaxed atmosphere, this free resource helps students understand mathematical principles at their own pace and apply them to course work. "Students would be hard pressed to find a school that does as much as UVU does to help students be successful in mathematics," said Kathy Van Wagoner, the manager of the university's Math Lab. "There is plenty of help available for students willing to look for it." The lab offers tutoring for students in any level of math, from basic through upper division courses. There is even help for the calculus and statistics courses required by most departments for graduation. "Here's how the Math Lab works," said Van Wagoner. "Come to the Math Lab and do your homework.

Students who miss class and are playing catch-up in their course can also check out video lectures at the Math Lab, which are available at the front desk. While the student tutors are willing to help with questions, the tutors' job is not to teach. Tutors are there to guide and help a student process and learn information. The Math Lab is not the only resource available to students. In a real-time "mathchat" called MathLabOnline, students who have questions about the subject can chat with a Math Lab tutor using an online whiteboard. There are also several other locations where students can seek help. There are smaller math labs located in the Tutoring Commons in the Losee and Woodbury buildings, as well as at Wolverine Crossing Apartments on the fourth floor of building G. Math Tutors are also available in the Study Zone in the student center and even at the Wasatch Campus.

Stand up and cheer mighty green We are the proud Wolverines By Sterling Gray Asst. News Editor As part of Homecoming Week, the Activities Committee will test students' knowledge of the school's fight song. "Can you sing the fight song and are you willing to put yourself on the line to prove it?" These are the questions the Activities Committee are posing to the student body, and they're offering prizes to those who answer. During the MAWL tailgate on Jan. 27, held just before the men's basketball game, students have the chance to stand and sing the fight song. Gift cards of $30, $15 and $5 will be awarded for Chili's, Subway and Jamba Juice, respectively. Although many students are not familiar with the fight song, that isn't because it has not been around for long enough. The original version was penned in 1982 by Carl Sandren, who also wrote the well-known BYU fight song, "Rise and Shout," as well as fight songs for several local high schools. The song has adapted with each new phase that the school has undergone. During the transition to a fouryear university a few years ago, some of the lyrics had to be changed to accommodate the new name. For example, "UVSC" had to be changed to "UVU," and any words that had to rhyme to match. The name of the song was also changed from "Wolverine Fight Song" to simply, "The Fight Song." The tune, however remained the same. "Three years ago [during the transition] we did some surveys and some focus groups and we found that people preferred to keep the same tune," said Bob Rasmussen, dean of students. "So the current version is a totally re-vamped version of the fight song as far as the words are concerned, but with the same tune." It remains to be seen whether students can stand up and sing the correct words.
