In SC 221 on Wednesdays from 10 to 11 am., war zone veterans have the opportunity to meet with other veterans to discuss problems they deal with from their experiences at war. Dr. Richard Hooper, the PHOTO COURTESTY OF UVUSA BYJAROMMOORE Managing Editor After 48 years coaching at one school, winning a national championship and having a stadium named after him, LaVell Edwards knows a thing or two about school spirit. Edwards will come to speak at UVU's Ballroom Nov. 15, as part of Homecoming Week to promote spirit, tradition and honor at a school that is lacking all three. The speech has been timed so that students in attendance will then go to the basketball Homecoming game on Saturday night. "He is going to come to inspire pride and spirit," said Daniel Diaz, assistant to the Vice President of the UVUSA. Edwards was the head football coach of Brigham Young from 1972 to 2000. During his time at BYU, he was able to turn around the program that had struggled for years into a program in the national spotlight. He is currently the seventh most winningest coach in the Veterans A4 Social media comes to UVU LaVell Edwards at UVU history of Division I football with 257 victories. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2004. His 1984 BYU team went undefeated and won the national championship. Some of his other awards include winning the Bobby Dod Coach of the year award, the AFCA Coach of the Year award and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award. Part of the tradition that he started at BYU was his list of award-winning quarterbacks, earning the school the nickname of "quarterback U." The list of his quarterbacks inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame include: Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon and Steve Young. Another quarterback, Ty Detmer won the Heisman Trophy in 1990. There have been seven quarterbacks that have won the Sammy Baugh trophy for the nation's best passer. While Edwards isn't an alumnus of UVU, his status as a local legend makes him a perfect candidate to attempt to inspire the students at UVU to find their school spirit and find a tradition of their own. His most important credential may be the fact that before he came to BYU, they were missing the spirit that UVU currently lacks. In his time at BYU, he won more games than the previous 50 years. He created tradition at BYU. This may be the chance for UVU students to see that there is chance for any school to create a tradition. new group leader of the Provo Veterans Center and a USAR veteran saw a need for outreach to veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, the younger generation of veterans. He said that at UVU alone there are 700 to 800 veterans and of those veterans at UVU about 300 need help. Hooper said that an estimated 20 to 30 percent of veterans suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. "We have regular attendees [at the meetings] who bring real problems to the table.

GILBERT CISNEROS/UVU REVIEW Finding the lost and found on campus BY DALE JONES News Writer It happens to everyone. Students work hard in class or at work living within the walls of campus. Hardly anyone escapes this horrible reality. That is the reality of losing your personal belongings. Every time a person forgets their cell phone, water bottle, keys or even their laptop, where does it go? But honestly, what happens to the things students lose all over campus? Do they enter a limbo of lost items never to be found again or even disappear into the deep crevasses of the world's proverbial couch? In the UVU bookstore there is a drawer full of little things that people have left behind, but even those things don't stay there forever. Eventually they move on. Even campus connection has a lost and found, but those lost wonders don't stay there forever either. There is one ultimate lost and found where all things from all over campus, the bookstore and campus connection end up. That wonderful haven of lost goods is found in a place most people don't even know about or even know where it is: the UVU Campus Police station. "About 40-50 items are turned into the lost and found every day," said Christine Nelson, administrative support for the police station. "The drop box is full every morning of lost and found items turned in." Many students and faculty have likely walked right by the police station and not realized what wonderful lost goodies are found within its confines There is even a web page dedicated to the policies concerning the lost and found property acquired on campus. "Utilizing the website for lost and found it will help me to get their (students) item back to them sooner," Nelson said. "They are free to call or stop by and check for their lost item as well. My hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday."
