Show DEPRESSION FROM Al LTUE FROM Al a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment only and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for those who want to visit the Mental Health Services office. SAD is a common type of depression that should not be taken lightly. If you or a friend knows someone who is experiencing symptoms of depression or other health issues, direct them to the UVU health center immediately. For more information regarding Seasonal Affective Disorder or the UVU health center- contact 801-863-8876, or stop by during regular business hours. to the event." People braved the crowded rooms to hear about things like what not to do when writing speculative fiction, how to promote your work without coming on too strong, how to create a language or world from scratch and how to write query letters to publishers. The main highlight of the event, however, is always the keynote address given by the guest of honor. This year it was James A. Owen, author of "Starchild" and, "Here there be Dragons." Readings were given by authors such as Sanderson, L.E. Modesitt, Jr., Tracy and Laura Hickman and up and coming recent Hugo award winner, Mary Robinette Kowal. Book signings are also a main fixture of the event, but the bookstore sold out of some books and also closed before most book signings occurred. The biggest complaint by authors and attendees was the long trek from the parking lots, especially since the shuttles were not mentioned as a transportation option. There were also issues with the food court closing too early and even running out of food for the mob of guests. Tayler pointed out that the attendance at the event could soon justify the use of the UCCU Events Center, with planning for the next LTUE starting today. "Our first LTUE at UVU was a resounding success. I look forward to 30 more years here," Sanderson said.

Candidates and donors spending money on campaign events is just fine, according to the bylaws, but there are certain restrictions. Rule five of the UVUSA campaign rules says that "a limit of $200 personal or donated money per candidate may be used," but that's only when the Elections Committee approves the event. And according to Director of Student Activities Rebekah Grulich and faculty advisor to the committee, no events were approved yet this year. In addition to rule five, the incumbents broke rule nine, which says to "avoid anything that may appear as campaigning and ensure that no sites are live prior to February 27th," and rule 11 which prohibits campaign teams or candidates from using the phrase "UVUSA" in "any printed publicity or electronic communication." Since the bylaws only ambiguously state that violations, saying infractions "will result in severe penalties to be determined by the Elections Committee," Grulich was consulted. After being involved in student elections for about 20 years, she knows better than most anybody the ins and outs of the campaign process. "It kind of depends on how the Elections Committee feels the severity of the violation is," Grulich said. "We want to make sure that the Elections Committee isn't intervening with their potential to run." The typical penalty that teams take, Grulich explained, is a "ding" out of their time to campaign in the hallway during the three-day campaign window on campus. A similar infraction about five years ago cost a team who threw a similar party two hours of campaign time. Since the campaign time is so short and since voter turnout is typically between two and 14 percent, Grulich said she considers this length of a penalty to be severe. The length of the penalty, though, is not really up to Grulich. Each of the four students, one staff and two faculty on the committee get to say what they think the penalty should be. "It's always intriguing to me to see when you get that many opinions in what comes back," Grulich said. "It's usually pretty reasonable." Reasonable or not, the campaign rules and what Grulich said indicate that the incumbent team will indeed have to face repercussions from their violation. *Additional reporting done by Jarom Moore, Andrea Whatcott, Kelly Cannon, John-Ross Boyce, Gilbert Cisneros, Faith Heaton and Jonathan Boldt.

En algunas clases se puede observar un asistente que esta constantemente traduciendo, para ayudar a los jovenes que no pueden escuchar. "Se que es una mision en mi vida, siento que es lo que tengo que hacer. Ayudar a este grupo de gente que necesita ser incluida en nuestra sociedad. Haciendo esto puedo desarrollar muchas habilidades, ademas puedo hacer algo por alguien que lo necesita, me divierto y me pagan por ello", dijo Hedelius. Jennifer lleva 3 afios tomando las clases de Deaf Language, este es su sexto semestre. Para ella es una experiencia que le ha abierto los ojos, porque es muy interesante interactuar con una nueva cultura. "interactuar e intercambiar informacion es parte de la vida diaria. Cuando estoy con esta cultura nos reimos, y compartimos momentos muy hermosos", LIDIA ABANTO/UVU REVIEW BY LIDIA ABANTO News Writer Comunicarse no es solo decir una palabra es crearla. Muchos estudiantes de UVU estan totalmente comprometidos con la comunidad de personas sordas mudas, y por esta razon estan aprendiendo a comunicarse con las manos. "En la escuela secundaria tome la clase de sing language, porque me llamaba mucho la atencion, esta nueva forma de comunicarse con las manos", expreso Jennifer Hedelius estudiante de Deaf studies. Una comunidad minori- agreg6 Hedelius. Deaf language no es un nuevo lenguaje, existe desde hace mucho tiempo, y es la manera como las personas sordo mudas se comunican. UVU tiene un excelente programa que cada dia va creciendo y proponiendo nuevas alternativas pedag6gicas en esta area. "Es necesario encontrar un balance con este grupo de gente, ellos representan una cultura. Esta gente es maravillosa, es gente que hace cosas muy interesantes, y son muy inteligentes. Estoy impresionada como ellos avanza, estoy orgullosa de sus progresos" puntualizo Hedelius. Los estudiantes de UVU tienen la oportunidad de practicar y aplicar sus conocimientos en Deaf Language dentro del campus, y asi servir a su comunidad. "Ellos necesitan ser reconocidos por su comunidad, a pesar de que ellos no se comunican igual que nosotros, son importantes" remarco Hedelius. A look at electronic note taking "Some professors do have their own policies on their syllabi that forbid the use of computers or other e-devices in the classroom," said Robert Cousins, English and Literature Department Chair. "and the department is supportive of those professors' right to set their own policies." "One [teacher] even requires a note from the chair if you are found to be using anything [electronic] in class along with an apology to the rest of the class," said David R. Connelly, the History and Political Science Department Chair. Most teachers who have rules against electronics in the classroom and catch someone breaking them will just get call out the student during class, but others have more drastic measures. Either way there is a consequence for ignoring such rules. Plans to make a campuswide policy have been dis-Dr. Eugene Seeley cussed but nothing has been decided yet. "We have discussed it Some teachers don't like a few times at department electronics in their class- meetings but it was generroom because they fear stu- ally fairly quickly agreed dents may be using them upon that this is an indifor other things besides tak- vidual faculty decision," ing notes.

BY CHELSEA HUNTER News Writer The anticipation of pulling out a laptop, getting every word down the teacher says, is too often squelched by a teacher's strict rules stopping a student in their tracks with the words "No electronics allowed in this classroom." But, can they do that? Electronics allowed in one class, but not the next. What's a student to do? What's the reason for this? Typing is faster for taking notes, and it saves paper, but a student must obey when a teacher has a rule like that. Or do they? What can a teacher do if students don't obey that one particular rule? "How you take your notes is your business," said Dr. Eugene Seeley, Dean of the Woodbury School of Business. After interviews with the dean or chair of each department on campus it was made clear that there is no college-wide policy on electronic note taking. Teachers are free to set their own rules about whether or not they allow electronics during their individual classes. "How you take your notes is your own business."

"A normal one is five to six hundred dollars, and the new ones are more like nine hundred dollars but they are much more efficient." Many people on campus are excited about having filtered water on campus including Matthews, but he also wondered if sales would go down for bottled water. "Water is the number one seller in our dining operations. It is the best-selling bottled drink across the board. It's too soon to know if it has affected sales yet," Matthews said. Matthews is accepting of the change, because it will be saving students money. There are currently five drinking fountains in the Student Center and all but one are scheduled to be replaced. There is a plumbing and electrical adaption process that will have to take place for each one prior to installation. |
