Drabik has allocated funds from the UVU Clubs The Food Critics Club puts students tastes to the test. By KELLY CANNON Life Editor There's a new club on campus with a palate that is a cut above the rest. In June, Ben Drabik, a sophomore from Draper, established the UVU Food Critics Club. "I have a huge passion for food," Drabik said, who is currently serving as president. "We're growing everyday." UVU Foodies meets twice a week and currently boasts 25 members. On Tuesdays, the club votes on what restaurant they will dine at and on Friday they all go out to eat. The club's vice president, Emily Samek, an Integrated Studies major from Cedar Rapids, IA, thinks the club can play a positive role in students' lives. "It's a great way to meet people in a really relaxed environment," Samek said, "and eat some really great food."

H II VS HER GILBERT CISNEROS/UVU REVIEW Ben Drabik and Emily Samek started the Food Critics club because of their passion for good food. ■ KELLY CANNON/UVU REVIEW Two writers attack the same question in an ultimate battle of the sexes. Things women need to stop doing By JAROM MOORE Life Writer Did you hear that Suzy and Tommie are dating? No, well neither did I, because I have better things to do with my life than worry about what other people are doing and what they think of me. I had a girlfriend for a while, short while, but a while none-the-less and she was obsessed with what other people thought. She would make sure that people knew that we were dating, no matter who it was or how little they cared. She would get mad at me if I didn't tell someone we were dating, which I didn't be- cause I don't care if people know and it's none of their business. Every time she would see me she would say, "Guess what I found out about you today." I would be curious then I would realize it was incredibly dumb and I started to be less and less interested, this probably led to me breaking up with her. The point being is why does she care what someone else said about me, why can't she ask me? Women need to learn how to be comfortable in their own skin. Find out what you like and start doing that. This might not get you the hottest guy perhaps but it will get you happiness. While you can't wear happiness it should be the goal women are shooting for. While no girl wants to see the man of her dreams go after another woman I am sure she is a... loose woman, and you don't want to pattern yourself after her. You don't need to ask what you're friends think of your shirt/car/phone/guy if it makes you happy it just shouldn't matter. I'll take my cues from the old adage "those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind." Things men need to stop doing By KELLY CANNON Life Editor Oh, I don't even know where to start. First off, stop putting those specialized mufflers on your car that makes them really loud. It's not cool. It's not sexy. It's annoying. In fact, just stop caring so much about your car in general. Cars get you from point A to point B. If your car consumes 75 percent of your paycheck or more, there is something wrong. Second, please stop suffering from what I like to call "bacheloritis." Essentially, stop being a gross bachelor. Clean your apart- ment. Do your dishes. Take out the trash. Shower. These may seem like basic things, but you'd be surprised how often guys forget how important this is. Third, stop trying to be macho and manly. We girls do like a sensitive side now and then. Nothing melts the heart of a girl fast than a guy who shows his love for animals or kids. Let's face it, no matter how old you are, no matter how tough you think you are, if a toddler hands you their ringing toy phone, you are going to answer it. And that's adorable. The fourth thing ties into the third quite nicely. You need to stop making us feel like the guy in the relationship. It's important to be sensitive, yes, but don't let it consume you to the point where we feel more masculine than you. Be aggressive. Fix things with your hands. Let girls know that you could get in a fight to defend them. It's all about balance. Fifth, stop offering solutions when we come to you with a problem. We're smart. We can figure out solutions all on our own. We probably already have one in mind. We don't want you to fix it. We want you to listen. Agree with Him? Agree with Her? Disagree with both?
