The library is open from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The campus bookstore is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday with Friday's closing time at 5 p.m. and Saturday's hours are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This early closing time can cause some problems for students who work throughout the day or only have night classes. "Sometimes if I work late I can't get to the bookstore before it closes to get what I need," junior Tawna Jones said. The food court consistsing of The Wolverine Bake Shoppe & JFE Sushi, Pizza Hut Express, Courte Side grill, Teriyaki Stix, Costa Vida and Subway which all range in their hours of operation but most are open until 8 p.m. Subway, however, is open until 10 p.m. All of them close early on Fridays at 5 p.m. and some are open at limited hours on Saturdays like Pizza Hut and Subway, which are both open until 4 p.m. The Food court hours can be somewhat inconvenient for night students who don't get out of classes until 8:30 p.m. or 9 p.m. "Sometimes when I come straight from work I'm not able to eat, so having the food court for example be open later would be nice and convenient," said sophomore Sasha Uribe, a night student.

PHOTO COURTESY OF FACEBOOK BY JEFF JACOBSEN Online Content Manager In any political campaign, like the student government elections, getting your name out is essential. So essential, in fact, that in order to level the playing field, rules exist as part of the student government bylaws to dictate when and how parties can spread the word about their campaign. Unfortunately one incumbent team vying for of- fice broke these rules with a Facebook-advertised, unsanctioned party at which they disclosed to a group of between 50 and 75 people details about their campaign. Held at the Provo Beach Resort, the "2012-2013 Student Body Officer Team Election Party" created on Facebook by Daniel Diaz, Adam Price and David Millet offered "free pizza and live music by Moneypenny," as well as discounted bowling.

"It's going to help our recycling and landfill," Matthews said. "But it could hurt in our retail sales of our bottled water." Each drinking fountain shows how many water bottles won't make it to a land fill. The combined number displayed on the two new fountains has nearly reached Things like, "That's Brandon Sanderson walking behind you," could be heard at the Life, The Universe & Everything event, LTUE, held Feb. 9-11. LTUE is not a typical science fiction and fantasy convention. It is actually a symposium where creative writers and artists gather to teach the business. LTUE is a free event for any and all students, so some attendees who are adults now have been going since they were children. There is a $30 entrance fee for the general public, and many people come year after year for networking opportunities and writing advice. A variety of special guests, specifically local talent, attend this event every year, though it usually takes place at BYU. Despite LTUE being a regular fixture there for decades, scheduling conflicts caused the symposium to search for another venue for its 30th anniversary. According to David Doering, the "Guru" who was instrumental in creating the event 31 years ago, UVU was more than glad to come to the rescue. "The level of support by the UVU staff was unprecedented," Doering said. UVU was able to provide sufficient space for the convention, but LTUE could have definitely used more. Anticipating which panels would be most popular was a bit more challenging this year because UVU students have slightly different tastes in LDS literature than those of BYU. Howard Tayler, creator of the "Schlock Mercenary" web-comic, mentioned how BYU's requirement of all panelists to get signed endorsements from their religious leaders "has been a detriment to getting a wide variety of prominent authors WATER A3 LTUE A3 CONNOR ALLEN/UVU REVIEW Seasonal Affective Disorder affects up to 25 percent of Utahans. Utah is a common place for seasonal depression due to it's short and cold winter days BY KARI HARBATH News Writer One of the greatest things about Utah is the four seasons residents experience each year. They have the luxury of skiing, sledding and enjoying snow in the winter to swimming, hiking and other sports in the summer. However, some people find themselves experiencing depression during the dark, cold winter months. This is called Seasonal Af- fective Disorder or SAD. SAD occurs in December, January and February. Symptoms decline in March and April, leading to the warm and sunny summer months. People who suffer from SAD experience regular depression. Some symptoms include low selfesteem, suicidal thoughts, feelings of sadness or loneliness and anxiety. SAD is more common in Utah than in other states due to the cold winters and shorter days. Feeling depressed and sad when its dark or rainy is usually considered a very minor case of SAD. The largest cases of SAD happen in areas where daylight is the shortest, like Alaska and Canada. SAD occurs mainly in women and adolescents but is not limited to those demographics. According to the Utah Surgical Center, up to 25 percent of the population may suffer SAD symptoms, and 5 percent experience the full disorder. Light Therapy is helpful for people who suffer from SAD. The UVU health center, located in SC 221, is a great resource for light therapy, and students who feel they may be suffering from SAD should visit the Student Health Center for a health evaluation and possible treatment. The health center is open 9 DEPRESSION A3 Fillingyour water at UVU got a lot easier BY TIFFANY THATCHER Asst. News Editor The new water fountains are ideal for water bottles. with access to the event to "come learn about next year's candidates, team name, and platform." A representative from Provo Beach Resort confirmed that the party organizers "definitely did little speeches," saying that "at least three" people spoke from the stage area to the wrist-banded attendees of the event. According to sources at the resort and close to the band, GILBERT CISNERSO/UVU REVIEW Water is the highest selling bottled drink on campus. Many students take water to class, and buy it on campus. There is an alternative now that there are three new drinking fountains installed in the Student Center. The most recent one was installed just last week. The new fountains filter water and have a separate fountain for water bottles. Ken Matthews, the Senior Director of Auxiliary Service and the Sorensen Student Center, deals with food service, the bookstore, campus connections and other auxiliaries in the Student Center. "They have been a real hit with the university community," Matthews said. "There has been great desire to have these from the institution." Matthews has been looking into buying something with a filter system for students, but wanted something with a fountain as well. Although this is the second year |
