Night school
speeds degree
B y M A D I L Y N C O L E
People who are working, have fam-
ilies or have other obligations, can
participate in BYU evening classes to
further their education.
According to the BYU website, if a
student meets various requirements,
they can be considered eligible for night
classes. These requirements include
that a student be at least 21 years old,
have at least a 2.0 GPA or hold a bacca-
laureate degree, and submit an ecclesi-
astical endorsement.
Kyle Mammen, the academic adviser
and program coordinator for evening
classes, said no one can complete a
degree taking only evening classes,
but those classes and credits can count
towards a degree.
He also said that in spite of popular
belief, taking evening classes doesnt
help a student get admitted over other
applicants into the university as a full-
time student.
It wont give them any preference to
have taken evening classes, Mammen
said.
According to Mammen, the admis-
sions department wants to make sure
the student is going to meet the admis-
sions criteria; it doesnt matter whether
or not the student takes evening classes.
Many students who have taken both
night classes and then pursued full-time
education at BYU have found that their
night class experience helped them suc-
ceed as daytime students.
Kayla Tuso, 22, an elementary educa-
tion major, was a night school student
during Fall 2010 but is now a full-time

Clean comedy still gets a laugh
A new phone case claims to save lives
New product is designed for durability and protection
B y K E L S E Y B R I G G S
Cell phone owners spend money
on protective cases for their phones,
but, until now, these cases didnt pro-
tect the owner. A new protective case
ensures the safety of the cell phone,
as well as its owners.
Pushing these buttons will set
off an alarm, send out a text with
the users current location to emer-
gency contacts or will perform both
functions. The side button design
is constructed in the root of human
behavior and ergonomics. Studies in
behavioral research show that when
under stress, the natural response is
for the human hand to make a clench-
ing motion.
See PHONE CASE on Page 3

More than 300 people dance in the dark to loud
music blasting from speakers. In an instant, the
music stops, the lights come up and a row of peo-
ple sit facing the crowd. What follows is an epic,
slow-motion battle over one open seat.
This is a scene from a Friday night perfor-
mance typical of Divine Comedy, BYUs com-
edy sketch troupe. Unlike other comedy shows,
Divine Comedy is determined to maintain a show
that is clean and appropriate for all ages.
George Nelson, adviser for Divine Comedy,
explained the groups philosophy clearly.
Heres the idea of Divine Comedy: comedy
lifts the human soul, Nelson said. Its good to
laugh. The laughing we want is rejoicing. You
feel better for having been (to a performance).
Developing clean comedy acts required dedica-
tion, according to Kenny Baldwin, a member of
Divine Comedy.
For clean comedy especially, everything
comes in the pre-work, Baldwin said. I think
crude comedy is a really lazy attempt. Its like the
guy who didnt study for the test and is just pull-
ing stuff out of his head. In order to do clean com-
edy, you have to be observant every single day.
Stacy Harkey, also a member of Divine Com-
edy, believes creativity, not content, is what
makes their show funny. It is possible to make
someone laugh with a crude joke, but Divine
Comedy has instead taken the challenge to look
for more creative, and clean, solutions to every
day life.
The elements of comedy are pretty similar,
be it crude or clean, Harkey said. Its a ques-
tion of if you are willing to go there. Creativity
loves constraint. We are not willing to lower the
comedic standards, were not willing to go for the
easy joke all the time. Its a question of seeing how
clever you can be.
Steven Roseneld is the director of the Ameri-
can Comedy Institute in New York.

BYU engineering students aim
high in bow design contest
Golf clubs, steel, skis and mattress springs
are only some of the materials BYU engineer-
ing students used to craft their bows for the fth
annual Nephis steel bow competition.
The competition, started by mechanical engi-
neering professor Anton Bowden, gives engi-
neering students the opportunity to apply what
they learn in class to a real design situation.
Teams and individuals submit bows that they
design and build themselves.

NYC ood protection
wont be easy
NEW YORK (AP) If metropolitan New
York is going to defend itself from surges like
the one that overwhelmed the region during
Superstorm Sandy, decision makers can start
by studying how others have fought the threat
of fast-rising water. And they must accept an
unsettling reality: Limiting the damage caused
by ooding will likely demand numerous
changes, large and small, and yet even substan-
tial protections will be far from absolute.

Parents should consider toy safety this holiday season
B y H A L E Y B I S S E G G E R
Organizations like Friends
for Sight remind parents to take
toy safety into consideration
when purchasing presents for
their children as the holiday
season approaches.
Friends for Sight is a non-
prot organization based in Salt
Lake City with the purpose of
promoting eye health. Around
the holiday season the organiza-
tion seeks to educate parents on
the danger some toys may pose
to childrens vision.
Colleen Malouf, president
and CEO of Friends for Sight,
warns parents about toys with
moving parts and shooting
pieces. Things that can pop up
and hit them in the eye can be
dangerous if you let them get
too close to it, Malouf said.
According to Friends for
Sight, 90 percent of all eye
injuries can be prevented
by taking the necessary
precautions.
Malouf encourages parents
to take suggested age levels for
toys into consideration, as well
as the childs ability. Carefully
read instructions and inspect
the toy to ensure quality before
giving it to the child.
Dont let children use dam-
aged toys, Malouf said, telling
parents to repair or throw them
away.
The U.S. Consumer Products
Safety Commission estimated
251,700 injuries from toys in
2010, the most recent release
of data. Seventy-two percent of
those injuries occurred in chil-
dren under 15 years of age, and
35 percent were sustained by
children under ve.
Casey Sartain is one of the
owners of Tutoring Toy in Salt
Lake City, a specialty toy shop.
Sartain tells parents to only
buy toys from retailers they can
trust.
I always say the easiest
way to make sure you are
falling within the highest
quality and highest safety is
to buy from reputable retail-
ers, Sartain said. Make
sure that you are taking the
time to make sure they are
quality products. It does
make a difference to buy
from people and companies
you can trust.
While some parents may
seek to cut costs this holiday
season, Sartain believes that
may cause harm to children.
Where you get into problems
is when you go to extreme dis-
counters, Sartain said.
Kathleen McHugh of the
American Specialy Toy Retail-
ers Association said, Toys with
small parts are not appropriate
for children under three. Par-
ents can take precautions by
separating toys for older chil-
dren and keeping them in a
separate toy box from the toys
for young children.
Kylee Olah, a young mother
of two boys, must take into con-
sideration their age difference
when purchasing toys.
With my older one we didnt
really have to worry about
it because hes always been
great with it, Olah said, but
our little one puts everything
his mouth so even when were
picking out Daniels toys,
were now having to look at
the size of them to make sure
theyre not a choking hazard.
As they start shopping for
their childrens Christmas
gifts, Sartain encourages par-
ents to know the companies.
Know they care.
Provo: Home of Bigfoot?
B y J O R D A N L E E
Apart from a national title
for the mens basketball team,
the last thing you would think
to see in Provo is Bigfoot. A new
video that has surfaced online
has many believing that Provo
Canyon may just be Bigfoots
new hiding spot.
The video, uploaded by You-
Tube user Beard Card, has
generated nearly seven million
views in just one week and has
people divided on exactly what
is being seen. The video shows
what seems to be a hairy beast
that stands up. It is then that
the people recording the foot-
age turn and run, meaning the
identity of the object cannot be
revealed for certain. Some say it
was a bear, some a person in a
costume, and others say it is the
ever elusive Bigfoot.
Loren Coleman, author of
many books on Bigfoot and cre-
ator and director of the Interna-
tional Cryptozoologist Museum,
said, Any investigator of Big-
foot and especially of YouTube
posted videos should be open
minded but skeptical of such
forms of evidence.
I have seen nothing to say
this is an authentic video record-
ing of an unknown hominoid or a
human in a suit, said Coleman.
The distance to the alleged crea-
ture is too far, and the masking
effect of underbrush and trees
makes an intensive study of this
evidence inconclusive.
Coleman isnt the only noted
Bigfoot expert taking the video
with a grain of salt.
Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, profes-
sor of anatomy and anthropol-
ogy at Idaho State University,
is arguably the worlds foremost
expert on all things Bigfoot. He
is currently searching for fund-
ing that will allow him to use
a $300,000 dual-celled airship
drone with custom high deni-
tion video and thermal imaging
in an attempt to nally locate
Bigfoot in North America.
He too sides with Coleman
that there is not enough evidence
to conrm that this was a sight-
ing of Bigfoot.
My initial reaction is that
there is not enough informa-
tion to draw a conclusion (that
this is Bigfoot), said Meldrum.
Its all too easy to misinterpret
movement and shape when there
is vegetation in the way.
According to Meldrum, people
frequently mistake bears and
other animals for Bigfoot. In this
case, it may be a distracted bear.
I deal with so many reports
(of Bigfoot) that I have to sift
through a lot of shaft, he said.
Claims of footprints the
vast majority of claims can be
explained by other means, said
Dr. Meldrum, usually pot-holes
and bear tracks.
Meldrum says that had Beard
Card and his companions not
have retreated but held their
ground for a few seconds lon-
ger they would have gotten the
denitive shot needed to dispel
all doubts.
The fact that its gone viral is
very interesting, Medrum said.
It shows the public is interested.
As for the worlds leading
expert on Bigfoot, Meldrum said,
In this case, I think its unlikely
that we have a Bigfoot.
The video can be seen on
YouTube.

PHONE CASE
New product is
durable and built
for your protection
Continued from Page 1
The U.S. Department of Justice
said one in four college women
have reported serious assault or
rape during their college experi-
ence. Technology has provided
new ways for individuals to stay
safe. However, the new Coyote
Case for iPhones provides users
with some ways of avoiding dan-
gerous situations.
The creator Jonathan Page
made the device after he heard
his niece was threatened one eve-
ning near her apartment. Page
was unable to be interviewed
because of diffculties presented
due to Hurricane Sandy but com-
mented on his inspiration for
making the iPhone case in a pro-
motional video.
Her whole personality had
changed, and that resonated
with me, Page said in the pro-
motional video. There (had to)
be a solution.
According to the Coyote Case
website, the desire to protect
future individuals from going
through a similar experience
is what relentlessly drove the
development team to deliver a
product that is intuitive, durable
and built for protection.
Caren Henry, the brand direc-
tor for Coyote Case, said that
this case is a device worth the
investment.
It can save lives, Henry said.
We believe wholeheartedly that
this is a device that everyone can
beneft from in terms of their own
protection.
Henry went on to explain that
the portability aspect is what
makes it such a unique prod-
uct. The Coyote Case is ideal for
college students because many
tend to carry a phone with them
almost everywhere they go. The
case also delivers portable protec-
tion for outdoor scenarios such
as walking, hiking, running or
biking.
We all like to go out and have
fun, and we should be able to do
so without feeling threatened,
Henry said. The reality, though,
is things do happen. This case is
a way to protect and empower its
users.
On campuses across the
nation, dangerous situations
can arise for any student. Lt.
Arnold Lemmon of the Univer-
sity Police Department felt this
case is a promising device, but
that it should only be an addition
to other safety measures.
I think its a great concept,
Lemmon said. I think anything
that advances or enhances your
safety is healthy. If I had a choice
between this device and a RAD
class (Rape Aggression Defense),
I would choose the class. So often
devices like this, pepper spray
and tasers put you in a comfort
zone. We need to be educated too.
The case is currently ft for the
iPhone 4, 4s and the iPhone 5 with
hopes to expand to other models
soon. It is available in black,
white, pink, teal and red.

Clean comedy keeps
BYU laughing
Continued from Page 1
He worked with Divine Comedy
when they traveled to New York;
and he will do another set of work-
shops when he comes to BYU at the
end of November. Coming from the
comedy industry, Rosenfeld had
a different view of clean versus
crude comedy.
Its a challenge to write funny
material, period, Rosenfeld said.
Its a challenge to write clean,
funny material, and its a chal-
lenge to write something thats
not clean.
However, Rosenfeld also said
that there are strategic reasons to
perform clean comedy.
There is a commercial advan-
tage to clean comedy. Your work is
accessible to the greatest range of
audiences.
For Divine Comedy, perform-
ing clean shows is not just a stage
personality to attract an audi-
ence, which became clear during
the troupes most recent perfor-
mance. The group chooses upbeat,
popular songs for set transitions,
and screens them for appropriate-
ness, or gets an edited version of
the song.
Divine Comedy does not change
its standard based on its audience,
as some comedians do, but cast
member Mallory Everton said
regularly performing to a BYU
audience affects how the group
develops skits.
A lot of (clean comedy) is our
audience, Everton said. Our
audience wouldnt laugh at crude
humor or cheap humor. Every
time we have gone even close to
that line, we have regretted it.
Whitney Call, another Divine
Comedy member, agreed that
the audience determines content
of the show, and said the ability
to seek out comedy on the Inter-
net has made the audience even
more discriminating about what
is funny.
I think it shows that people
want more clever jokes, and that
theyre not being entertained any-
more with just going for the base
humor. Now that we have a big-
ger access to comedy, and we can
access it so quickly, people are
starting to raise their standards
of what makes them laugh, Call
said.
Consistently, Divine Comedy
has found that comedy of recog-
nition and being able to relate the
skit to everyday life is the most
successful form of humor.
We are trying to use the forms
of comedy that are more universal,
that have been around for years,
that are not the bawdy, cheap
kinds of things, Nelson said.
Divine Comedy has performed
in New York and Las Vegas, bring-
ing with them a style of comedy not
commonly found in the area. Over
the course of the show, Divine
Comedy proved that clean comedy
is not funny solely for those who
actively seek it out.
They didnt quite know what
to think of us, Nelson said. The
audience went from at frst won-
dering what was going on, to liter-
ally a standing ovation for these
kids. The overwhelming response
from the group that watched
was You have reminded us of a
higher level of comedy. You have
reminded us that comedy is best
when its clean. The cheap shots
make people laugh, but they dont
lift people.
It is that higher level of comedy
that impressed Rosenfeld. After
all his years in the comedy indus-
try, he recognized that there was
something different about Divine
Comedy.
Divine Comedy is almost in a
league by itself in collegiate sketch
comedy groups, Rosenfeld said.
They are fantastic ambassadors
for Brigham Young (University).

student. She said that taking
night classes was convenient for
her because she was able to work
all day and take classes at night.
I got a feel for campus life and
everything that goes along with
BYU, Tuso said.
Tuso was a transfer student
and felt that taking evening
classes was somewhat of a tryout
so the admissions department
could see that she could handle
the curriculum. Tuso was ulti-
mately admitted into BYU as a
full-time student.
Tuso said if she could main-
tain a good GPA taking evening
classes, combined with her high
GPA from her previous school,
it might help her chances of
getting admitted into BYU full-
time. Now that Tuso is a full-
time student, she is grateful for
her night school experience.
It was a nice transition,
Tuso said.
Tuso said her night school
experience helped her prepare
for what to expect when she was
admitted into BYU.
Mitch Winters, 23, is a cur-
rent night school student who
was recently admitted into BYU
and has enjoyed his experience.
I wanted to take night classes
in hopes of getting good grades
and getting accepted as a full-
time student, Winters said.
Winters also said he felt like
taking evening classes helped
him get accepted to the school
because on his application, the
admissions department could
already see that he had taken
classes and earned good grades.

From Civil War to medieval reenactments
The Quill and the
Sword Medieval
Reenactment Club
provides outlet
for fantasy lovers
B y S T e p h a N i e l a c y
While most little girls had
tea parties with their dolls,
Keziah Cannon dreamed of
killing Confederate soldiers.
Well, sort of. Cannon grew up
in a family that enjoyed Civil
War reenactments.
And that dream lives on.
Cannon, a senior majoring in
mechanical engineering from
Ukiah, Calif., said Civil War
reenactments were held annu-
ally near her hometown even
though Northern California is
far from the real 19
th
century
battlefields.
In our Civil War reenact-
ments growing up, we would
spend the night in tents from
the 1800s, explained Cannon.
Re-enactors would spend two
whole days living in the Civil
War time period.
When asked how her family
got involved in these reenact-
ments, Cannon chuckled and
said it has just always been
something she and her parents
have done.
Its not on a battlefield like
you would see in the South, but
they do it every year in what-
ever place they can find to rent
out, explained Cannon. They
set up time period tents and
dress all up in Civil War cloth-
ing and eat the traditional
food. Its an event that lasts
the whole weekend. They try to
make everything as authentic
as possible.
As a normal college student
plugging her way through the
stresses of the first few years
of college life, Cannon decided
that a good way to make friends
and have fun would be to find
others who share her passion
for reenactments.
Ive always loved reenact-
ing, Cannon said. Its not
acting, but more a way to re-
create life.
As a sophomore, Cannon
joined the Quill and the Sword
Medieval Reenactment Club
here on BYU campus. This
year, shes the reigning club
president.
Im a mechanical engi-
neering major, and it can be
a bit stressful, Cannon said.
Its nice to get away from the
stress. And history is just fun.
Its a different feel; its like get-
ting away from this world for a
bit. Its relaxing to me.
In a club filled with sword-
fighting and medieval-style
reenactments, there are a sur-
prising lack of men in the Quill
and the Sword Club.
Actually there are more
girls than guys in the club,
said Cannon, laughing. We
only have three guys in the
club and about ten to twenty
members depending on the
day, ten regulars.
Creating traditional medi-
eval dances is a regular part
of the club, Cannon explained,
and it can get pretty awkward
when there are more girls than
guys to dance with.
Its always kind of hard
actually because we often do
partner medieval dances, and
there are never enough guys
for the girls, she said. But
its OK because the footwork
doesnt really require a guy.
Its the same as the girls, so
we make it work.
Giving herself the title of
Queen Bee, Cannon said
everyone in the club is given a
specific medieval title.
We all have titles in the
group, she elaborated. We
consider ourselves nobility
since, even as poor college
students, we have more money
than a peasant would have
back then.
Dressing up in medieval
clothing for meetings is not
a requirement but is encour-
aged, according to Cannon.
Sometimes we dress up,
she said. Its not a require-
ment, it just depends on what
we are doing and where we are
coming from. We like to dress
up if we can.
Medieval fencing duels and
traditional medieval balls are
something that club members
look forward to every year in
the Quill and the Sword Club.
We have a Yule Ball every
year, Cannon said. We dress
all up in medieval clothing,
and there is dancing, food and
traditional period singing. We
have a fencing tournament at
the Yule Ball every year.
Along with the Yule Ball,
the club also celebrates Corpus
Christi every year.
We also have something
called Corpus Christi, said
Cannon. There is a town in
Texas with the same name,
and Im always having to clar-
ify that. Corpus Christi is a
famous medieval festival. We
reenact it every year.
Gathering once a week, the
members of the Quill and the
Sword Club take a break from
the modern world and travel
back in time as they discuss
and act out events from the
past. The club meets every
Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the
Crabtree Building.

Sub for Santa needs student volunteers to help families in need
B y M e g a N N o a c k
Its a frosty Christmas morn-
ing. Bright-eyed children race
down the stairs in their footed
pajamas and squeal as they spot
gifts under the tree. Shiny paper.
Ribbon. Joy. But if it werent
for local Christmas assistance
programs, this scenario would
not be possible for thousands of
families.
United Way of Utah County
recently opened another year
of Sub for Santa, a Christmas
giving program which provides
needy families with Christmas
gifts through sponsors. And
theyre not just asking families
to sign up for assistance. Sub for
Santas branch at BYU is asking
for student volunteers to make
that Christmas morning experi-
ence a reality for families in the
community.
Sub for Santa is currently
seeking 25 to 50 BYU volunteers
and needs Spanish speakers
as well. Volunteers then sign
up on a Google Doc for one- to
two-hour slots that ft their
schedules.
Families must provide eligi-
bility paperwork covering such
topics as employment status,
income, disability, etc. BYU stu-
dent volunteers help families
get their paperwork organized
so they can be approved. In the
past, they havent really had help
flling it out, said Bill Frei, an
exercise science major and one
of BYUs program directors. So
when there have been discrep-
ancies on their paperwork, they
werent able to receive the help
they (needed).
It kind of opens your eyes
to the reality of some peoples
situations, to how much people
really need help, Frei said.
Even though I cant necessar-
ily provide money or gifts, I can
be there to help them through
the process.
Jenn Ki l st rom, Ut ah
Countys United Way Sub for
Santa director, explained the
double beneft of the program
in a recent press release. Sub
for Santa comes at a great time
to give, but it also can be an
opportunity to teach sustain-
able fnancial stability for the
long-term, she said.
Families dont only receive
gifts; parents attend a workshop
where they are taught basic bud-
geting skills and learn how to
create affordable Christmas tra-
ditions for their families. Work-
shops are taught in English and
Spanish.
Sub for Santa reached 5,000
Utah County children last year
alone, as reported in a press
release from United Way.
With children its hard know-
ing you dont have money to get
stuff, said Kathryn Rasmus-
sen, a pre-photography major
from Hillsboro, Ore. Christ-
mas is supposed to be a time of
service and love, so its good to
help others.
Rasmussen believes students
can still make an impact this
holiday season without impact-
ing their wallets. Even though
as college students we dont have
as much money, its an easy way
to help, she said.
This is Stephen Thomass
third year volunteering at Sub
for Santa, and this year he is one
of the program directors. The
senior from Nampa, Idaho, said
it was easy to fall in love with the
program and the joy it brings to
families. The mission of the pro-
gram struck a personal note for
Thomas.
The thought of these par-
ents coming in makes me think
about how my mom felt when
she was trying to provide a good
Christmas for us kids, he said.
We help these parents provide
a better Christmas for their
children, and the end result is
going to be these happy children
on Christmas day. The thought
of that keeps me coming back
for it.

Multitasking can be
detrimental to students
B y M e r e D i T h L o N g
Multitasking can be a tal-
ent or a curse, depending on the
situation.
Students today are bogged
down with packed schedules and
numerous responsibilities that
require them to think about and
do multiple things at once. Some
say its a blessing to be able to mul-
titask, while others say the habit
is degrading our generations
abilities to think clearly, commu-
nicate effectively and focus.
In an article titled Multitask-
ing State of Mind, written by
Joanne Cavanaugh Simpson, a
professor at Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, she discusses the down-
side of multitasking and how it is
detrimental to students.
The mental habit of dividing
ones attention into many small
slices has signifcant implications
for the way young people learn,
reason, socialize, do creative
work and understand the world,
Simpson wrote. More students
are zoning out (and are) less able
to complete assignments.
Scott Church, a popular cul-
ture and media professor at BYU,
said he fnds truth in Simpsons
argument.
The overabundance of per-
sonal and mobile media certainly
can divert us from other, more
pressing things, Church said.
Church also said he has expe-
rienced distracted and unprofes-
sional communication efforts
from students in his classes. For
example, sending emails that are
too informal, expecting answers
immediately or using media dur-
ing class discussions. He believes
it is important to know when to
unplug and turn down the volume.
I agree with Simpson in that
we are overstimulated from all of
our options, Church said. Some-
times it can be benefcial to slow
down a bit.
Jenna Hickey, a neuroscience
major from West Virginia, said
she has a tendency to multitask
in order to feel productive.
Im so used to multitasking
that I feel like Im being unpro-
ductive if Im not multitasking,
Hickey said. When I consciously
decide that I want to enjoy a
moment and not do a million
things at once, I feel like I can
actually be in the moment and
get the most out of it.
With the availability of
advanced technologies and com-
munication devices, multitasking
may come down to self-control and
personal habits. Hayden Plumber,
21, an accounting major, said that
because there is always some-
thing he can be doing, he tends
to pick up his phone, turn on the
TV or open his computer to fll his
free time.
When Im not doing anything,
I have to be doing something,
Plumber said. I think everyone
is like that because technology
has taken over the world.
At the end of her article, Simp-
son wrote about the benefts of
face-to-face communication skills
and the lack thereof in upcoming
generations.
Multitasking used to be a way
of getting things done now its a
state of mind, Simpson wrote.
Living really living and con-
necting with people requires
concentration, not distraction.

Natural gas-powered garbage trucks service Orem
B y H A L E y B i s s E G G E R
The City of Orem commemo-
rated its new garbage trucks on
Tuesday Nov. 13, making Orem
the frst city in Utah County to
have an entirely natural gas-
powered feet.
Eight natural gas trucks went
into service in July and allow for
more effcient trash collection.
These new trucks will help offset
the fuctuations in traditional
gas prices for the city, passing
these savings off on the residents
of Orem.
Fuel costs for the trucks will
be substantially reduced. Gor-
don Larsen, supervisor of NGV
Operations for Questar Gas,
said, Waste Management prob-
ably pays $0.65 to $0.70 per gallon
for natural gas compared to $3.70
or $3.80 for diesel.
As well as being cheaper,
these natural-gas trucks create
jobs. Its a U.S. product. Were
not importing it. Almost all the
natural gas used here comes
from Utah or Wyoming, Larsen
said. Its American jobs, Ameri-
can fuel, better emissions. Its a
win-win all around.
Greg Walkenhorst, with pub-
lic sector services of Waste Man-
agement, said, Cost of fuel and
maintaining the trucks is going
to be less, Waste Management
is able to offer more competitive
pricing.
Larsen said natural gas is
methane, which mean there is
only one carbon atom; 80 percent
of what is being burned is hydro-
gen. These properties result in
energy that is much cleaner for
the environment.
Walkenhorst said, Com-
pressed natural gas-powered
trucks emit less smog-forming
nitrogen oxides and greenhouse
gases.
Nitrogen oxide is reduced by
up to 50 percent, greenhouse
gases by 25 percent and carbon
dioxide by 80 percent.
Natural gas-powered trucks
are the future of waste collec-
tion, and Waste Management
will no longer be purchasing
diesel trucks.
According to Walkenhorst, in
one year, Waste Managements
1,000 natural-gas trucks will
displace 8 million gallons of
petroleum and eliminate 41,000
metric tons of greenhouse gases.
These new trucks are 50 per-
cent quieter than the traditional
diesel trucks, and residents have
taken notice.
Were having residents call
us and tell us they would wait
to hear the truck coming down
the street to put their garbage
out that are being missed now
because these trucks run so qui-
etly, Walkenhorst said.
Mayor Jim Evans commemo-
rated the occasion by operating
the arm of the truck and was
excited for Orem to take this
next step.
It will continue to promote us
to being mindful of trying to do
a better job to do our part for the
environment, Evans said. We
need to be good stewards of our
area, our community, our earth.
And, in Orem, this is a way to do
our part.
Student loans: A push forward or a shove back?
B y M E G A N N o A C k
She left college with a job, a
bright hope and a plan to pay
back student loans.
Betsy Miller, a 2010 Seattle
University graduate, fell into
trouble with student loans a few
months following graduation.
Miller received thousands of dol-
lars in federal grants, but loans
were needed to cover the rest of
expenses. Her job fell through
after a few months, and she
spent countless hours knocking
on business doors and flling out
applications to no avail. With-
out a suffcient income and with
looming loan repayments, Miller
had no option but to move home.
Sallie Mae and America
Saves released a tips sheet on
Nov. 6 that provided graduated
students with information on
how to effectively pay back stu-
dent loans. A few of their tips
include knowing how much is
owed each month, updating the
loans services with any changes
in contact information and being
cautious of scams that tell stu-
dents they can help lower inter-
est rates.
Professionals at Sallie Mae
feel it is doable to pay back loans
in an effcient manner while still
moving forward in life.
Most student loan customers
successfully manage their pay-
ments particularly since those
with a college degree continue
to earn more and have higher
employment rates than those
without, especially in this econ-
omy, said Patricia Christel,
vice president of corporate com-
munications at Sallie Mae, in an
email. We recognize that a job
search today may take longer
than it used to, and we work with
our customers to identify solu-
tions to assist (with payments).
Statistics about college grad-
uate employment are stark.
About 53 percent of U.S. col-
lege graduates with bachelors
degrees were either unem-
ployed or underemployed last
year, according to the Associ-
ated Press. In October, the U.S.
Department of Labor reported
7.1 percent of college graduates
ages 20 to 24 are unemployed,
with the statistic at 19.1 percent
for the same age group who were
not college graduates.
After moving home, Miller
said she swallowed her pride
and picked up any position she
could fnd retail jobs similar
to what shed had in high school.
But the loans and their interest
still stared back at her. Recently
I was taking a look at my billing
statements, and I did the math: I
am paying $2.13 a day in interest
for my student loans, and that
is not a number I can decrease.
I have to pay that interest; it
doesnt go away, she said. Its
really depressing. I think this is
something kids dont understand
when they frst sign up for stu-
dent loans. Youre so desperate
for an education. People just sign
up for loans because they think
its what they are supposed to do.
Miller is not a graduate of
BYU, but that does not mean her
situation is not applicable. BYU
students still take out loans.
The fnancial aid offce in the
Smoot Administration Building
helps students understand their
options if they cannot afford
school. Whether it is a subsi-
dized, unsubsidized or short-
term loan, there are options
fitting for each student. But
students must be aware inter-
est rates vary across the board
depending on the type of loan,
who provides it and how much it
is for, among other things. BYU
holds one of the lowest defaults
on loan percentages in the
nation, according to the National
Student Loan Data System.
The biggest pincher for Miller
is not necessarily the loans
themselves but the interest
she has to pay back to the U.S.
Department of Education. Even
though Miller has successfully
paid her bill every month, the
interest continues to increase.
They want you to take 10 years
to pay off your debt because the
longer it takes for you to pay it
off, the more interest you are
paying in the long run, she said.
That is what they make their
money off of.
Miller said she felt it was good
for people to seek higher education,
but she wondered if it was worth it
to go into debt for education if it
does not help a person secure a job.
With the help of grants, Millers
loans are lower than many other
students, and that is something
she is grateful for.
Others feel loans are more
of a push in the right direction
instead of a hindrance. Carri
Rice, family life major from
Arlington, Texas, will end this
semester with her degree, her
wedding and student loans.
While she received various
scholarships and grants, loans
were also needed. I would try
and work during the summer if
I could, but the students loans
were what made it possible for
me to come to school, she said.
I dont think I could have done
it without.
Six months after graduation,
Rice is required to start paying
back her loans, as is the usual
amount of time for any U.S. stu-
dent. Rice said she was not too
worried when asked whether the
looming payoffs structured
into a ten-year payment plan
were of concern. Ive tried to do
everything I could before taking
loans out, so I have a lot less than
other people Ive known, she
said. My payments wont be too
crazy. It might be a stretch some-
times, but I am not too worried.
Miller has never defaulted
on her loans and never missed
a payment, but at the end of the
day, they still control her abil-
ity to be independent. As she
fnished explaining her frustra-
tion, she broke down into tears.
I constantly feel like I am a fail-
ure as an adult, she said. I am
going to turn 25, and I cant get
a job. I am stuck at my parents
house. I just want to get this debt
out of my life.

Utah county commissioners interests
influenced his unexpected career
B y H A L E Y B I S S E G G E R
Utah County Commissioner
Larry Ellertson is living proof
that life does not always take the
route one planned for.
Ellertson never intended to be
involved in politics, but through
a series of events he was elected
mayor of Lindon three times.
I wasnt looking to get
involved in politics at all, that
was the furthest thing from my
mind, Ellertson said. I had
never wanted to be involved,
and I still try not to be a
politician.
Following his graduation
from SUU in accounting, Ell-
ertson moved to Phoenix,
Ariz. and worked as a certi-
ed public accountant. He and
his wife wanted to return to
Utah, where Ellertson worked
for Utah Power and Light. As
part of that job, Ellertson was
required to attend city council
meetings on issues relating to
the company.
When time came for Lindon
city to ll an unexpired mayoral
term, Ellertsons involvement
in those city council meetings
made him a candidate. After
initially refusing the position,
Ellertson became the mayor of
Lindon.
Ellertson studied account-
ing and business adminis-
tration in college. He never
imagined those studies would
lead to where he is, but what he
learned helped him in his cur-
rent position.
You still use those prin-
ciples, but I dont do the daily
routine, Ellertson said.
Ellertsons experience in
business administration has
found its place in his govern-
ment when negotiations take
place.
Richard Nielson, director of
public works in Utah County,
works closely with Ellertson.
He brings different parties
involved in discussions together
when it appears like there is no
way for them to agree, Nielson
said.
In his free time, Ellertson
likes to be outdoors.
I enjoy being out. I enjoy four
wheeling, and Im talking Jeep.
But I also enjoy the ATV stuff
as well. Being out. I enjoy the
Moab area particularly, Ell-
ertson said.
Growing up on a farm in
Mona, Ellertson had horses in
his childhood and still raises
them.
Its kind of an escape in the
fact that youre able to get out
there and become one with the
land, Ellertson said. Its fun to
work with the animals to teach
them and calm them down and
train them.
Ellertsons love for the out-
doors has found its way into his
agenda as Utah County tries to
improve and expand the trail
system throughout the county.
Currently construction is
underway to extend the Provo
River Trail from Provo to the
point of the mountain. The
100-foot-wide trail will be half
paved and half open. The trail
construction is expected to n-
ish in early spring. The county
is looking into connecting the
trail with Draper and Jordan
River.
Plans are currently in the
works for the Lake Shore Trail
that will surround Utah Lake
and should come to fruition in
the next few years.
Ellertson said there are plans
for an off-road/ATV/motocross
track and trail system as well as
a shooting range west of Payson.
Right now when you get onto
the public lands theres just a
lot of open shooting. So were
attempting to develop in this
particular area ATV use, and
its not healthy to have people
shooting in that same area.
Were trying to provide an alter-
nate place for them to go shoot,
Ellertson said.
Ive enjoyed it, and I think
were contributing to the wel-
fare here in the county. Im
not alone; all the citizens are
involved in what I do, Ellert-
son said.
Ott Dameron, Lindon city
administrator, worked with
Ellertson while he was mayor
of Lindon and can attest to
Ellertsons desire to help the
community.
With his tenacity and follow-
through, he accomplishes all
the hard tasks. Hes just a good
guy, Dameron said.
His career has taken a dras-
tic turn from where he thought
he would be, but through these
changes Ellertson has been able
to combine his passions and his
desire to improve the county.
My initial reaction was,
No, thats nothing Im even
interested in doing. But it was
a good decision to change my
mind. So rst impressions may
not always be the best, Ellert-
son said.
The inside scoop on
BYUs bell tower
B y V A L E R I A C H A O
A carillonneur is a per-
son who plays the bells in a
bell tower, and it is not an
easy job. It takes hours of
practice hitting large, long,
wooden keys that look like
broom handles. Calluses
start to form on the back
of a carillonneurs hand
from constantly hitting the
wooden keys.
Ariel Peterson, a carillon-
neur in BYUs Centennial
Carillon Tower, loves her job
and has a passion for play-
ing in the bell tower, even if
it means getting calluses on
the backs of her hands.
Since the keys are so
large and long and must pull
a heavy clapper into a 4,000
pound bell, you cannot play
the carillon with your fingers
like a piano, but you have to
hit the keys with the backs of
your fists, Peterson said. I
have calluses from playing,
but is it worth it? Oh yeah.
Especially when it comes to
playing Harry Potter on
Halloween.
Every hour, the bell tower
at BYU is automated to play,
Come, Come Ye Saints and
two ding-dong bells every
half hour from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Students may have noticed
other songs being played;
however, they may not have
known that these songs are
actually a live performance.
The carillon class is a pri-
vate lesson class. Students
have to register and audi-
tion for it. The class is taught
by Dr. Don Cook, who is the
university carillonneur and
associate professor of music
(Organ). He fell in love with
the carillon after taking les-
sons at BYU not long after the
bell tower was built.
I enjoy making music on
the instrument, especially
playing some of the best con-
temporary works, Cook said.
I also enjoy teaching others
to do the same. Those with
good keyboard skills do well
rather quickly. But because it
requires a whole different set
of techniques than piano or
organ playing, truly refined
playing requires much prac-
tice, careful listening and
patience.
Julia Dunbar, the assistant
carillonneur and a senior
majoring in athletic train-
ing, loved the bell tower even
before she knew anything
about it. Her dreams came
true when she got to see for
herself how the bells were
played.
I took two semesters of
a basic organ class from Dr.
Cook my freshman year,
Dunbar said. It was while I
was enrolled in his class that
I found out he also taught the
carillon class, so I asked him
one day if he would ever mind
taking me up there with him
so I could watch him play. It
was the coolest thing I had
ever seen. It was from that
moment on that I knew I
wanted to learn to play the
bells.
Peterson also loves the
freedom she gets to choose
what to play for the bell tower.
After she practices her selec-
tion, Cook helps her with the
mechanics and musicality of
the songs.
I am personally a fan of
playing seasonal songs for
the noon recitals, especially
Christmas music, which I can
play right after Thanksgiv-
ing, Peterson said.
Dunbar is also excited to
pull out the Christmas music,
like Carol of the Bells.
I just really like playing
the carillon because when
youre playing it, youre the
most exposed musician on
campus and yet no one knows
who you are, Dunbar said.

8 The Universe, November 27 December 3, 2012
In the newsroom last week, we made an
incredible discovery that caused major pan-
demonium. We thought that we found a way
to actually fnd out who our top viewers were
on Facebook among our friends. As everyone
searched their results to fnd out which friends
were stalking them, people started regretting
that they had sought out this information. Why
is he my second top viewer? Oh my word, this
makes sense. Knowing who watched us became
uneasy information, but also a compelling force
to know our Facebook stalkers.
Facebook is a social hub. Today the mental-
ity seems to be that if it didnt happen on Face-
book, it didnt happen at all. I guess that means
I dont have a life. When I frst got on Facebook
my freshman year at BYU, I was drawn into the
new social world. Eventually the eu-
phoria of the new-found relationship
wore off and I was exhausted with
people knowing about me, but not
knowing me.
Today I avoid posting personal in-
formation about myself on Facebook.
It has now become a location where I
can post my articles and share infor-
mation where I can expand my knowl-
edge. I get frustrated when Im tagged
in pictures and people try to make
plans with me on my wall. Im not
bothered about sharing information,
but it bothers me that someone unin-
volved in the exchange is observing
my social interactions. I choose to keep my life
as private as possible because it doesnt matter
to me if someone likes my every move. Plus,
I know that with the news feed plenty of people
see my activities.
I dont try to stalk people, but, with the
news feed, I still know things I shouldnt know
about others. When is the last time that I actual-
ly had a conversation with one of my high school
teammates? Probably graduation day. Yet some-
how I know that on Friday night my previous
teammate was having drinks with someone I
dont know at some bar in Fort Collins. Instead
of interacting with old friends, I see something
on my news feed and like it, because appar-
ently that is a show of our affection and concern
these days.
Not that everything has to be about me, but
this information does nothing for me. My know-
ing that Mary has fnished four of her fve fnals
doesnt mean that I am any closer to fnishing
my fnals. Dont get me wrong, Im happy for
her, but the information doesnt inspire me to
do anything.
This is why I love Pinterest. (Some of you just
decided to tune me out, but just hear me out.)
When Im on Pinterest, Im seeking inspiration.
Pinterest is a creative motivator for me. For ex-
ample, I get story ideas from exploring others
pins, I try new recipes or hairstyles and I make
gifts and decorations. My Internet consumption
becomes more than a period of time fnding out
about people without acknowledging their ex-
istence.
Other social media has more meaning for me.
Twitter is not only a platform for sarcastic ex-
change or world observations, but it is a place
for exchanging information. Facts, news and
information pass back and forth, and I feel like
I log off of Twitter a smarter person most of
the time. The point is that our time and rela-
tionships shouldnt exist only in an inter-tech-
nological sphere, and we defnitely
shouldnt base our lives off of it.
Dont think that I hate Facebook.
I appreciate that I have a social plat-
form where I can communicate with
my friends across the world. I know
what is going on with friends from
my mission in St. Petersburg, Russia
because of Facebook. I learn about
social events where I can interact
with more people through Facebook.
Facebook can be a positive social in-
vention, if we look at it as a starting
point and we dont ignore the real-life
relationships we have.
We shouldnt be spending our time
worried about who is following us (even though
it is slightly entertaining). Social media isnt
bad, but it should motivate us to do something,
to be something and to grow, just like every
other aspect in our lives.
For those of you wondering, you cant fnd out
who looks at your profle for privacy issues; we
were mistaken. The shrieks and chaos became
so extreme that we called our web developer
over to read the code he found out it wasnt
true. We lost a lot of time trying to solve this
menial question, which really didnt matter in
the end (sorry fellow editors).
After a very short night of sleep, I woke to
the shrill ringing of my cell phone. Annoyed,
I hit the ignore button only to have it go off
again. Answering the phone with a groggy
voice I heard the angry voice of my father say-
ing something about a smashed in mirror on
my car and a question about why had I lied
to him? Confused and honestly thinking he
had gone a bit crazy, I walked out to my car in
the driveway only to find the front-side mir-
ror had been smashed in on my car.
The previous night I came home late from
an out-of-town tennis trip; I drove the two
blocks home then collapsed into my bed
without noticing the damage. After explain-
ing that I didnt cause the damage, and that
it must have happened in the school park-
ing lot while I was away, my father
calmed down. I asked why he was
so worked up and he responded, I
thought you had purposely lied to
me. I dont care if you damaged your
car or not. I was more upset because
I wasnt sure how I could trust you
if you would go behind my back and
lie to me.
While ref lecting on this experi-
ence and many similar to it, I got
be thinking about honesty and our
exceptions from others. When some-
one is honest with me, I am more apt
to trust their future decisions.
Many of our expectations for
others come from either what we have been
taught or from the example of those that have
gone before us.
Looking at the great leaders of the world, it
is interesting to find that they all have a wide
variety of personalities and character traits.
With that said, the question I pose today is:
should a political leader also possess a good
character in order to be considered great?
Among the different cultures and religions
of the world, what it means to be a person of
moral character varies. However, there are
some universal trends on what it means to be
a person of character.
Honesty, kindness, and integrity are com-
mon traits for a person with upstanding char-
acter among the most cultures in the world.
In order to trust those that lead us, shouldnt
we expect them to portray these basic char-
acter traits?
Examples throughout history down to mod-
ern times show that there are many great
leaders that led their people to political vic-
tory but also led morally corrupt lives.
In our recent American history, we have
examples of presidents of the United States
such as Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy who
were dishonest with the American public
about their immoral affairs with women but
are known as good political leaders.
If they were dishonest with the public, why
were they considered good? I believe it is be-
cause of the economic impact of their presi-
dencies. Because President Clinton helped
the economy, he was deemed as a good presi-
dent.
While living in Ukraine as a missionary I
often had a hard time understanding many
peoples praise of the glorified leader Lenin
when I knew the history behind what kind of
a man he was, and the hardships the people
are now facing due to aspects of his leader-
ship. However, through my time
there I learned to understand that
while he may not have been the
best man morally he was a strong
leader that did good in the eyes of
the people.
In our country, with the separa-
tion between church and state, I
wonder if that also means there is
a separation between character and
politics.
In order to trust the decisions of
those around me, the main element
I look for in a person is honesty.
Many people I have talked to have
agreed with this statement that if
someone is just honest with them about an is-
sue they are more willing to forgive and trust
them in the future.
Should politics be any different? Shouldnt
we be able to expect our leaders to possess
the character traits of honesty, kindness and
integrity so that we can trust their leader-
ship? Although I have my own opinion on this
topic, I believe it is important that we each
make that distinction for ourselves. And be-
fore we vote or lend our support to a specific
leader we should think about what kind of
person they are and whether or not that is
important to us.

ReaderQuestion
Susan Porter: Can anyone tell me
if there was a fan or anyone injured
last night at the BYU basketball
game (fell from the stands), and was
bleeding, while a group of BYU fans
were classless, ignored it, and con-
tinued to cheer?
Jimmy Pratt: That makes me so an-
gry, how could anyone be so heart-
less and rude and unforgiving but
in their defense maybe the bleeder
was a fan for the opposing team?
Susan Porter: Perhaps it could be
suggested to the BYU cheerleaders
that in the future they could do a
lot to help out with that. They know
what to do in situations where there
needs to be crowd control. This was
a televised game, and a friend of
mine here in Great Falls, Montana
(who knows I have a daughter that
attends BYU), happened to be watch-
ing when she said some young man
fell from a high place and landed on
his head and was bleeding. The TV
announcers even said it was an in-
appropriate time for the BYU fans
to be cheering. The world watches
us, and BYU has a high reputation
to uphold. I told my friend that I
would look into it, and would appre-
ciate if this could be passed on the
proper people to make sure it never
happens again. Thank you for your
help!

& RECREATI ON
Poinsettia Bowl caps rocky season
BYU football
team prepares
for bowl game
B y S H A W N F I E L D I N G
After an up and down season, the
BYU football team begins prepara-
tions for the Poinsettia Bowl, which
will be played on Thursday Dec. 20.
The Cougars began the season with
BCS aspirations after beating the
Washington State Cougars and Weber
State Wildcats in convincing fash-
ion to open the season. The Cougar
offense was impressive putting up 30
and 45 points in the rst two games. In
what would become a common theme
all season, the Cougar defense was
dominate.
The Cougars winning ways didnt
last very long though. The Cougars
would lose their next two games to
Utah and Boise State even with a
chance to win both at the very end of
the game. Against Utah the Cougars
struggled to move the ball and com-
mitted a number of penalties kill-
ing drives. However, with just a few
seconds left, BYU was in position to
attempt a 51-yard eld goal.
Justin Sorenson, who has battled
back issues since the end of last sea-
son, came on to attempt the kick.
The kick was blocked but JD Falslev
picked the ball up and tried running
to extend the play. While the play was
happening, Utah students jumped the
fence and rushed the eld before the
play had been blown dead. Utah was
assessed a penalty and BYU was given
another chance to kick. Riley Stephen-
son came on and watched his attempt
hit off the upright as BYU lost 24-21.
Boise State saw more struggles
by the offense but stout play by the
defense. The Cougar defense kept the
Bronco offense out of the endzone. The
only points Boise State scored came off
an interception returned for a touch-
down. After Riley Nelson struggled
throughout the game, BYU fans got
their rst glimpse of freshman quar-
terback Taysom Hill. Hill came in and
led the Cougars to their only score of
the game. BYU then failed in their
attempt at a two point conversion.
Due to an injury to starting quar-
terback Riley Nelson, Hill got to start
against Hawaii and Utah State. Hill
would lead the Cougars to wins in both
games showing off his athleticism and
a powerful arm. Hills season would
come to an early end following the win
over Utah State. On the last series, a
miscommunication led Hill to call a
draw play. Hill took off up the middle
but in doing so a Utah State players
helmet hit Hill in the knee, tearing
ligaments.
BYU would lose the next two games to
two top ten opponents, Oregon State and
on the road at Notre Dame. BYU came
close to beating Notre Dame, who will
play for the BCS National Championship.

Austin Rekhow,
the man with
the golden leg
B y S H A W N F I E L D I N G
Its not very often a high school
senior attracts the attention of
major television shows like ABCs
Good Morning America and
ESPNs SportsCenter. Its also not
very often that high school senior
is a kicker for Central Valley High
Schools football team in Spokane,
Wash., either.
On Oct.18, 2012, Austin Rekhow
secured himself a spot in the Wash-
ington State high school record
books by kicking a 67-yard eld
goal with two seconds left to send
the game into overtime. Thanks to
Rekhows golden leg, the Central
Valley High School Bears beat the
Shadle Park Highlanders 6255.
The coaching staff had been
going back and forth trying to
decide whether to go for a Hail
Mary or to try and kick it, Rehkow
said. I wanted the opportunity but
still wasnt 100 percent sure I would
make it. I got warmed up on the side
a little more and then went out and
stuck to the basics same step,
same kick. My holder did a nice
job of getting the ball down and my
line gave me enough time to get the
kick off.
Prior to his record-setting eld
goal, Rehkows personal bests were
60 yards in practice and 56 yards
in a game. Central Valleys football
coach, Rick Giampietri, said Reh-
kow earned the right to attempt
the kick because he makes a high
percentage of his long distance eld
goal attempts.
We were kind of spoiled all year
knowing that if we could make it
to the opponents 40 yard line we
would have a chance to come away
with points, Giampietri said.
The kick has attracted the
attention of colleges looking
for their future kicker. Before
the game in October, Rehkow
had only received a partial
scholarship offer from Eastern
Washington State University.

SPORTS CALENDAR NOVEMBER 27 DECEMBER 3
Mixing football and art
B y K E L L Y H A I G H T
Blair Buswells hands can painstak-
ingly and skillfully sculpt ne details
into rough clay, but he isnt your typi-
cal sculptor.
Those large, strong hands that now
create such delicate art once gripped
footballs as he dove through defensive
lines.
His skills as a running back would
eventually bring him to BYU, where he
found his home both on the eld and in
the art studio. He walked on the football
team and studied art on a scholarship.
(Art) was something I had always
done, Buswell said. I didnt really
think (art and football) was a strange
combination. It was something Id
always done since I was a little kid.
Originally from Ogden, Buswell was
a top running back in high school, mak-
ing the All-Region, All-Area, All-State
and All-American teams. He was team
captain and was Weber High Schools
Best Athlete during the 197475
school year.
Buswell then went to Ricks Junior
College, where he excelled on the foot-
ball eld for two seasons as team
captain and in earning MVP and All-
Conference awards. He also excelled in
his childhood love: art.
After his LDS mission to Washing-
ton, D.C., Buswell turned down football
recruitment and scholarship at Weber
State and Utah State and transferred
to Brigham Young University for its
art program. As a walk-on to the foot-
ball team, Buswell played in BYUs
rst bowl win, the storied 1980 Miracle
Bowl.
Most of my teammates didnt know
what I did, I just played ball, Buswell
said. They didnt know until after.
Theyve all gotten to know what I do
now. Back then I was just another
player.
Because of his experience with BYU
legend LaVell Edwards, and with the
likes of Steve Young, Jim McMahon,
Robbie Bosco and current BYU athletic
director Tom Holmoe, few would expect
the beautiful art pieces Buswell created
to come from a running back.
The teams doctor, Dr. Brent Pratley,
however, had seen rsthand Buswells
artwork and t Buswell with protective
pads for his hands before every game to
preserve and protect them.
(Brent Pratley) was the one that had
seen what Id done and said, Youre
crazy to be out here, and he checked
and made sure I had my handpads on
before the game, Buswell said.
While still a student, Buswell
sculpted bronze statues of McMahon
and BYU basketball great Danny Ainge.
He also taught a night sculpting class
for beginning to advanced non-majors.
I would go from practice and change
and run to teach my class, Buswell
said.
Buswell took his love for athletics
and art and merged them together to
nd his niche in sports art.
When I rst came out of college
there was a big Western art craze,
Buswell said. Everyone (was) try-
ing to be (Frederic) Remington and
(Charles Marion) Russell. I decided
then Id rather go off and be the Rem-
ington or Russell of something I
knew the best, rather than the Blair
Buswell of Western that would be just
another name thrown in the Western
art craze. So I went off and did sports
and climbed to the top of that eld.

Max Hall brings his fire and tenacity back to Provo
B y A L E X A N D E R B A L D W I N
BYUs winningest quarter-
back in school history, Max Hall,
returned to BYU as an assistant
coach three years after his career
at BYU ended.
He left a legacy of erce compe-
tition with a record of 327 as the
starting quarterback and now
looks to transfer his experience
and re to the current BYU quar-
terbacks and players whom he
helps coach.
Of those players hes coaching
now, he knows some of them par-
ticularly well, as they were former
teammates during Halls BYU
playing days spanning 20062009,
including his 2006 year on the
scout team.
Max is a fun dude to be around.
He was always fun to play with,
BYU runningback Iona Pritchard,
teammate with Hall as a freshman,
said with a laugh. I dont think
hes changed much. He might be a
little more reserved now since hes
a coach, but hes still competitive.
Pritchard shared a classic story
of Hall from practice that shed
some serious light on just how
competitive and intense Hall could
be as a player.
I remember in practice a ght
broke out between a linebacker
and Dennis Pitta, a tight end, and
Max (Hall) wasnt even part of the
ght, Pritchard said. But Max
just ran over there, stuck his nose
in there, was calling people out,
calling linebackers out. Thats
the kind of competitive spirit that
Max has. Hes just a competitive
guy, and he always brings that to
the table.
It is this ghting spirit that
endeared Hall to many BYU fans.
During his three years at BYU,
he was condent and relentless to
pull out wins many BYU fans still
remember today.
The Oklahoma win was great;
the Utah game my senior year was
phenomenal, Hall said, reecting
on some of the dening moments
of his playing days. The Utah
game my sophomore year with the
fourth-and-18 play, the UCLA game
where I threw seven touchdowns.
This one might be an unpopular
one, but the Colorado State game
my junior year when it was a battle
to the end and we had a couple last-
minute drives to go down and win
it. We ended up doing it. Dennis
(Pitta) caught a touchdown pass
in the end zone, and his helmet
was popping off. But the bottom
line has to be the teammates and
everyone involved in the staff. Its
just a lot of fun.
Halls achievements at BYU
place him near the top among
the BYU quarterback greats in
the major statistical passing
categories.
He is the all-time leader in touch-
down passes for a game (seven),
second in touchdown passes for a
career (94), second in career com-
pletion percentage (65.3), second in
carer pass completions (903), sec-
ond in passing yards (11,365) and
second in total offense (11,569).
Many of the top spots on the
career records lists are held by col-
lege football Hall of Famer Ty Det-
mer, who played during the LaVell
Edwards era when the BYU offense
was passing dominant. BYU did
not have a 1,000-yard rusher from
1972 (the year Edwards came to
BYU) until Jamal Willis in 1994,
whereas there have been six 1,000-
yard rushers since 2001.
As Hall was wrapping up his
career as a senior at BYU, NFL
scouts took notice of his play, and
the possibilities of Hall going to the
NFL increased.
My whole life the goal was
always to play college football,
Hall said. When I saw there
was an opportunity to play pro,
it wasnt something I necessar-
ily dreamed of my whole life, but
when the opportunity came and I
saw I was getting some exposure, it
was more like, If it happens, then
great.
The seven rounds of the NFL
draft came and went without Hall
hearing his name selected, but
immediately after the draft the
phone rang and on the other end
of the line was the Arizona Cardi-
nals, the NFL team from his home-
town area.
The Arizona Cardinals called
me and said, Hey we want you,
lets go, and we made the deal just
like that, Hall said. With them
being in my hometown, it seemed
like a good t.
Hall put his erce competitive-
ness on display once again and
deed the odds as he not only made
the nal 52-man roster but went
on to start three games his rookie
year and defeated defending Super
Bowl champions the New Orleans
Saints in his debut as the starting
quarterback.
Injuries plagued Hall, however,
who dislocated his shoulder at the
end of his rookie year and then
dislocated it again at the end of fall
camp his second year.
Early in the 2012 college football
season, Hall was approached by
BYU football Head Coach Bronco
Mendenhall about the possibility
of coming back to BYU to help out
coaching the quarterbacks.
Max was a great leader for our
program as a player, had a nice
NFL opportunity and showed
great leadership there, Menden-
hall said about the decision to
bring Hall back to BYU. He was
passionate to come back, and I
thought he could help us. It was an
easy call for me and I think easy for
him as well.
Hall at the time was still work-
ing out to play a third season in
the NFL, but said Mendenhall
gave him the exibility to be able
to leave coaching to go and play if
that is what Hall wanted.
Hall stayed to coach, however,
and says he does not regret it at all.
He loves the atmosphere at BYU
and being around a program that
strives to do things for the right
reasons. He said it was that same
reason that brought him to BYU
initially after his mission instead
of returning to Arizona State
where he redshirted his fresh-
man year.
BYU senior quarterback Riley
Nelson, who was Halls backup
during Halls senior year, also said
he is glad to have Hall back again.
He has been a big help and
asset for me, Nelson said. He
takes a lot more cerebral approach
where I take an I want to be out on
the eld approach. And his love for
drawing up plays has rubbed off on
me, gotten me more excited about
that aspect of the game.
Like Pritchard, Nelson also
commented that Hall hasnt
changed much from his playing
days here in Provo and is still as
competitive as ever.
He is still the same old guy, but
he looks more tired now because
he doesnt get as much sleep with
two little toddlers, Nelson joked.
I can kind of see the bags under-
neath his eyes now, but other than
that he is still the same old Max.
After transferring to BYU, Hall
won a quarterback battle to ll
John Becks vacancy as a sopho-
more, then succeeded in starting
as an NFL quarterback in his rst
year despite going undrafted and
has been successful in his rst
year back at BYU, helping inspire
and improve the quarterbacks.
He has been really helpful to
not only myself but to Coach (Bran-
don) Doman and all the quarter-
backs, Mendenhall said.
Hall has enjoyed his rst sea-
son back at BYU and said he is not
quite sure yet what his future has
in store for him.
First, I want to finish my
degree (in facilities and property
management), Hall said. Ill
be done with my degree in the
spring and at that point if I can
nd a coaching job somewhere,
Ill go coach. Or if I need to go nd
a job somewhere with my degree
Ill go do that. Then theres still a
small chance that I go back to play
(in the NFL). Im not sure whats
going to happen, but I am leaving
my options open.

KICKER
High school
senior with a
gift in football
Continued from Page 9
According to Scout.com, BYU,
as well as Idaho, Montana and
Washington State, have started
recruiting Rehkow since Octo-
ber. Of the recruiters, only
Idaho has offered Rehkow a
scholarship so far.
BYUs coaching staff was not
able to comment on Rehkow
because of NCAA rules prohib-
iting the discussion of recruits
during recruitment, but they
were able to give some insight on
what would warrant a eld goal
attempt of 60 plus yards.
We would do it if we needed
to win and we thought our
kicker could kick it that far,
said Nick Howell, BYU special
teams coach. The situation dic-
tates though. Theres a lot that
goes into a kick. We would have
to feel like he could make it. Its
pretty much that simple.
Rehkows kick was four yards
longer than the NFL record of 63
yards, which has been achieved
by current kickers David Akers
and Sebastian Janikowski. The
BYU record for longest eld goal
was set in 2000 when Owen Poch-
man kicked a 56-yard eld goal.
Rehkow plays more than
just kicker. This year the Cen-
tral Valley High School coach-
ing staff played Rehkow as a
receiver and a defensive back,
in addition to his kicking duties.
Now that football season is over,
the 63 senior has turned his
attention to basketball where
Rehkow is the starting point
guard. He and the other seniors
are looking to lead the Bears to
a return to the state champion-
ships where they nished sec-
ond last year.
Just as impressive as his
talents on the eld and on the
court are, Rehkow is even more
impressive off the eld.
Hes not a cocky kid at all,
Giampietri said. Hes pretty
level headed and pretty quiet
actually. He has a 3.95 GPA, so
hes also a very smart student.
With all the attention he has
gained from kicking the eld
goal and becoming the talk of
college recruiting, to appearing
on major TV shows, Rehkow has
kept things in perspective and
continues to be the humble kid
from Spokane.
A couple weeks ago, all the
seniors went to one of the local
elementary schools to play at
recess and talk with some of the
kids, Rehkow said. As soon as
they found out I was there, a long
line formed for autographs. Its
a lot of fun, especially knowing
that youre being looked up to by
the younger kids in the area. Its
all just pretty awesome.

ART
Former football
player turned
artists combines
talents
Continued from Page 9
Buswell was hired by the Foot-
ball Hall of Fame upon gradu-
ation and has sculpted over
60 busts for all of the new Pro
Football Hall of Fame induct-
ees, including former teammate
Steve Young. He also created the
Super Bowl XIX, XX and XXI
medallions.
Buswell attended the Pro
Bowl in Hawaii for many years
and told Young, If you keep
doing this, these MVP seasons,
you and I are going to spend
some time together in the Hall
of Fame.
He just laughed, Buswell
said. But in 2005, when Young
was inducted into the Hall of
Fame, Buswell sculpted the bust
that now sits among the other
football greats.
I was able to give him a big
hug and a congratulations, and
he posed for me a little later,
Buswell said. Its awesome to
sculpt a teammate.
In 1990, Buswell was named
the Sport Artist of the Year
the rst sculptor to ever receive
this award.
I did sports because thats
what I knew, Buswell said. I
used my knowledge of being an
athlete and an artist to design
pieces that capture the intensity
of an action in the moment or the
feeling of a win or a loss.
In 2005, he received the Eliza
R. Snow Distinguished Alumni,
Art and Music Award. And in
2008 he received both the BYU
Football Distinguished Alumni
and the BYU Distinguished
Alumni awards.
Most recently, Buswell
unveiled his 8-foot-tall bronze
statue of UCLAs late basketball
coach John Wooden at Pauley
Pavilion on Oct. 26. Wooden led
the Bruins to 10 NCAA champi-
onships from 1948 to 1975.
Buswell said it was a privilege
to sculpt one of the greatest bas-
ketball coaches in history and
that the statue was well received
by Woodens family and former
players.
I captured (Wooden) on the
sideline coaching so that when
the students walk by they become
the players, Buswell said. Hes
looking out on the court so when
theyre walking to and from class
hes watching them.
Buswell has made a name for
himself in the art world for his
impressive sports sculptures,
capturing the athleticism and
physical talent of his subjects on
the eld or court. While Buswell
can and does sculpt other types
of art, sports art brings the best
of two worlds together for him.
Football and art (have) been
a big part of my life all the way
along, and being able to combine
my two loves together has been
a lot fun, Buswell said. As a
sculptor, I get to meet and have
some of the greatest athletes and
coaches pose for me and get to
know them. You cant beat that.

FOOTBALL
Poinsettia Bowl
in the near future
for the Cougars
Continued from Page 9
The Cougars lost to Notre
Dame 1714 thanks to some
missed oppurtunities on
offense and poor tackling on
defense.
The Cougars now turn their
attention to preparing for the
Poinsettia Bowl. The Cou-
gars have known they would
be playing in the Poinsettia
Bowl since their win over
Idaho, but their opponent has
yet to be announced. BYU will
face former Mountain West
Conference foe San Diego
State. In an interview done
for the San Diego Union Tri-
bune, SDSU Athletic Director
Jim Sterk conrmed that the
Poinsettia Bowl would love to
see a BYU and SDSU reunion.
The last time the Cougars
and the Aztecs met on the
football eld, the Cougars won
2421. However, many believe
the Cougars were helped to
a victory by an error by the
replay ofcial. After a fum-
ble by a BYU player, the play
was reviewed and the replay
ofcial deemed that BYU had
regained control of the ball.
However, TV reviews showed
a San Diego State player recov-
ering the ball. This sparked
an investigation into the inci-
dent and included a number
of boosters asking BYU Presi-
dent Cecil O. Samuelson to
take action.
A San Diego State rematch
would reunite BYU Head
Coach Bronco Mendenhall
with his former boss, and
current SDSU Head Coach,
Rocky Long. Mendenhall
worked as Longs defensive
coordinator while the two
were at New Mexico. The two
coaches developed the 335
defense that Coach Menden-
hall brought with him to BYU
when he was hired to be for-
mer Head Coach Gary Crow-
tons defensive coordinator.
Long still utilizes the 335
defense to put pressure on the
quarterback.
With one of the nations top
defenses the Cougars will put
up a good ght against whom-
ever they play in their bowl
game. If the offense can come
through, the Cougars will
head into the offseason with a
Poinsettia Bowl victory.

Womens soccer season ends
B y M A R C U S E L L I S O N
The BYU womens soccer team
lost 2-1 on Friday against a tal-
ented North Carolina team in
the NCAA tournaments round
of eight.
The loss was the Cougars rst
and only at home all year and is
the end of a record-breaking sea-
son for BYU.
Im very proud of this years
team and how they played
tonight, BYU Head Coach Jen-
nifer Rockwood said. I thought
the girls battled hard tonight.
Its tough to find confidence after giving up a quick goal early
on, but I was proud of how they
bounced back. Its been an amaz-
ing year. Weve accomplished a
lot, and I think the team has a lot
to be proud of.
The Cougars
end the year
ranked No. 2,
the highest
ranking in the
programs his-
tory. The team
went 20-2-2 and
made it to the
Elite Eight for
only the second
time in school
history after
earning a No.
1 seed in the
tournament.
The chemistry of the team and
how hard these girls worked for
each other is what Ill remember
most about this year, Rockwood
said. Everyone found their roles
and supported each other. The
friendships and relations with the
team are the things youll remem-
ber but also the big wins win-
ning a WCC title and making this
run in the NCAA tournament.
In the game, the Cougars went
down 1-0 early, an unfamiliar
position for the Cougars whose
usually dominant defense was
tested the whole game by the tal-
ented and quick Tarheel team.
Tonight was denitely high
pressure for me because of North
Carolinas speed, but our defense
did a great job of holding them
back, junior
g o a l k e e p e r
Erica Owens
said.
Fol l owi ng
UNCs goal,
the Cougars
answered with
a goal of their
own by Rachel
Manning off a
penalty kick.
Through regu-
lation the teams
were tied 11. It
wasnt until the second overtime
that North Carolina scored to
send the team to the Final Four.
I think a lot of our teams abil-
ity to do well this year was in our
team chemistry and how much
we connect on, and off, the eld,
senior defender Cami Jensen said.
Our fan support was amazing
this year and our ability to play
for them really came out this year.
Being able to represent BYU in a
manner that it needed to be was
something we strived for, and to
put BYU and the soccer program
out there.
Cougars basketball pulls out victory
B y S H E Y G R O S S E N
The Cal State Northridge Mat-
adors came into Provo on Satur-
day night with an undefeated
record but left with their rst
loss as the BYU mens basketball
team put them away 87-75.
Tyler Haws had a career night
with 32 points on 9-17 shooting
and 12-12 from the free throw
line. On the other end, Stephan
Hicks of CSUN had 25 points on
7-13 shooting, and Stephen Max-
well added 17.
After the game, Haws
spoke to the media about his
performance.
I was just trying to make
the play that was there and be
aggressive, Haws said. Going
into the game, our plan was to
play on attack every possession,
and I was able to make a few
plays down the stretch.
Coach Dave Rose credited
Cal State Northridge for how its
team played and how his team
responded.
Cal State Northridge has
a great team, Rose said. As
you prepare for a team that is
6-0, you realize that team has
a great will to win. I was really
proud (of) the way our guys con-
tinued to attack, even in tough
situations.
According to Rose and the
players, the sell-out crowd of
20,900 also aided in the victory.
Not only was the crowd cheer-
ing on the current team, but
fans were also hoping to impress
future recruits who were in
attendance, including Jabari
Parker. Parker is considered by
many to be the number-one bas-
ketball recruit in the country.
The Cougars next game
will be at the Energy Solutions
Arena Wednesday night at 7
p.m. against Montana. The game
will be televised on BYUtv and
broadcast on KSL Newsradio
102.7 FM/1160 AM.

Renting a little puppy love
B y L A U R E N M O R A N
As snow consumes the valley and
finals approach, it seems nothing can
bring relaxation or distraction to the
grind of college life, but a new com-
pany may have found the token anti-
dote puppies for rent.
Puppies For Rent opened shop
approximately two months ago and is
growing fast because of an increasing
demand for cute and furry four-legged
friends. The company offers a variety
of puppies from small to large breeds.
For $15, people can rent a puppy for an
hour. For $25, people can rent a puppy
for two hours. Any additional hour
after that, the rate is $10 an hour.
Jenna Miller, owner and founder of
Puppies For Rent, said the business
was inspired from the lack of pet own-
ership among BYU students and her
love for puppies.
From what I have seen, puppies
are the best thing for making people
super happy, Miller said. Really,
there are no puppies and you can
go months without seeing one (at
school). I recognized the need and
thought that something needed to be
done.
Miller said the rental process is
simple. Customers can call or text
the Puppies For Rent number at (801)
251.6022. Miller or an employee will
drop off the puppy at your location
and pick up the puppy when your
rental time is over. There is a waiver
customers must sign concerning the
care of the puppy.
Miller said the renting is healthy
for the puppies and helps socialize
them.
The puppies we buy were either
bought initially and didnt work out
with their owners, or they havent
found permanent homes yet, she
said. Most of the time people want
to buy the puppy eventually. So, it
actually helps the puppy find their
permanent home.
Garry Briggs, manager of off-cam-
pus housing, said students are not
allowed to own pets; however, there
are exceptions. Briggs recommended
that students speak to their landlords

Hit List, a new type of advertising
After its online launch in March, the Hit List has gained
increased popularity among both students and advertisers
B y K A T E L Y N G U D E R I A N
Click. Click. Click.
After being bombarded by iers left
on doorsteps and windshields, BYU
students are now seen clicking their
way through a new online approach to
advertising.
The concept is simple: click a vir-
tual button online at the right moment
and win prizes valued up to $250 every
day. The concept borrows from several
advertising models.
When you read a newspaper or
watch a TV show, what the student gets
from it is entertainment or information
in exchange for looking at a product,
Andrew Stewart, CEO of Collegiate
Advertising, said. So the premise of
the Hit List is to compensate students
monetarily for their viewership.
Late October marked the return of
the Hit List, an online phenomenon
designed to reward students for time

Shoes and their
underlying messages
B y T AY L O R S T R E E T
They say you shouldnt judge
a person until youve walked a
mile in their shoes, but according
to researchers at Wellesley Col-
lege and the University of Kansas,
you can spare yourself that walk
and just look at the persons shoes
instead.
Shoes convey a thin but useful
slice of information about their
wearers, the authors reported.
Shoes serve a practical purpose
and also serve as nonverbal cues
with symbolic messages. People
tend to pay attention to the shoes
they and others wear.
Some BYU students, both male
and female, agree that shoes do say
a lot about a person.
It sounds shallow, but its not,
Andrea Thompson, an art educa-
tion major from Naples, Fla., said.
(Shoes) are an indication of a per-
son as a whole, who they are and
what they like.
John Haws, a public health
major from Morgan, said shoes
convey much more than someones
personality.
Shoes, the reason they say a lot
about you, is because its detail,
Haws said. Shoes are important
because they show not only that a
person cares about themselves, but
they care about the details, too.
Whereas the Wellesley/Kansas
study used shoes to measure things
like political beliefs and attachment
anxiety, BYU students tend to use
a persons shoes to gauge potential
friendships and relationships.
Thompson said stylish shoes on
a male give her an indication that
he might be interested in similar
things as she is art, music, pho-
tography thus making her want to
get to know him. Cameron Kimbal, a
sophomore from Suwanee, Ga., ran
cross country in high school and
values staying in shape. Before his
wedding this summer, he said he
was more motivated to talk to girls
wearing running shoes because he
thought they might have common
ground. Brigham Elton, a sopho-
more from Morgan, said he is less
apt to talk to a girl who isnt wear-
ing stylish shoes.
If a girl is maybe dressed well
but isnt wearing good shoes, I dont
necessarily judge her, but naturally,
just looking at her, shes not as cute
as she could have been, Elton said.
Its not like I wont talk to her at all,
but its just wrong.
Precisely what message a par-
ticular shoe conveys depends on the
person. Thompson, Haws and Elton
agree that wearing running shoes
with jeans is never, under any cir-
cumstance, permissible and con-
veys a rather careless message.

Hot air balloon carries a boys dream
B y K r i s T e N W i l l D e N
BYU graduate Doug Cannon
dreamed of fying ever since he
was a boy. Now a licensed hot air
balloon pilot, hes helping others
reach new heights.
In my younger days, I looked
very seriously at fying military
jets and passenger Jets, but fying
those would take me away from
my family, he said. Flying hot
air balloons has been a great fam-
ily activity.
Lucky Star Hot Air Balloons,
Cannons Provo-based hot air bal-
loon business, takes passengers
on surreal rides above beautiful
Utah Valley.
Cannons oldest daughter is
planning to become a pilot by
age 16. Cannon and his daughter
work together to stand the bal-
loon on the land during the hot
infation. Passengers put their
hands in their pocket and shake
around their body to ignore the
cold, but once the balloon goes up,
they started to smile and wave to
viewers. A 77,000 cubic feet hot air
balloon changes the color of sky
to rainbow as it fies more than
6,000 feet above the sky in a cold
morning. When the balloon fies,
a designated chase crew follows
on land below to help navigate.
Cannons wife is one of the chase
crew members. Cannon and his
wife joke that she still chases him
around.
Landing the hot air balloon is
not a perfect science. Whenever
the balloon lands in someones
backyard, Cannon politely asks
for permission to dismantle his
balloon in their yard.
It is always important to be
respectful of property owners
and ask permission, he said.
In so doing, they are more likely
to allow us to land and use their
property and will not say, You
cant land here.
As a tradition, Cannon shared
the history of a hot air balloon,
gave Balloonist Prayer and cel-
ebrated first-time passengers
with a toast on the land. The
champagne (or sparkling cider,
for Provo community) toast is a
hot-air ballooning tradition that
goes back to the earliest days of
ballooning in France. To this day,
the tradition has not stopped.
Kalo Latu, a piano teacher at
BYU, had her frst air balloon
ride this month. After her ride,
she could not stop giggling.
Its unlike anything you can
imagine, she said. Ive been
living in Provo for a while, but I
discovered some new parks. City
layout is nicely done.
Caitlin Whitaker, 20, from
Kanosh, said she went on a ride at
fve in the morning. She loved it
until the hot air balloon got closer
to the building.
I screamed, but people helped
to stop it, she said. It was very
surreal. I felt like looking at a toy
village, and people looked like
little ants.
Although some people like
Whitaker enjoy riding it, others
may not consider ever riding one.
Peter Fife, a junior from Manti
studying economics at BYU, said
he loves hiking and outdoor activ-
ities, but he will never go on a hot
air balloon ride.
I would feel out of control,
he said. Its super high. If some-
thing went wrong, I would have
no ability to change the outcome.
Despite the fear, Megan Boyle,
a cello teacher based in Provo,
enjoyed her frst ride.
It felt much more relaxed and
calm than an airplane fight, she
said. It feels like youre foating
through the air instead of fying.
A view through the lens
B y J A c o B r o B e r T s
John Lyde has been going to the
movies since he was a little kid
as in, 2 or 3 years old. His dad took
him all the time, and Lyde devel-
oped a love for flm at an early age.
He remembers seeing the movie
Willow and being enthralled by
the emotions of fear, excitement,
humor and romance it evoked in
him. It captivated him. It inspired
him. Simply put, Lyde knew he
wanted to make movies.
Now, more than two decades
later, he is fulflling his dreams by
producing movies as a local inde-
pendent flmmaker.
I couldnt see him doing any-
thing else, Lorien Lyde, Lydes
wife said. Its what hes being
doing since he was 12.
At age 12, Lyde bought his frst
camera VHS-style, of course
and began making short flms
with friends for school projects.
Lyde said he was self-taught and
learned the art of editing over the
years, eventually becoming skilled
enough that producers hired him
to edit flms. While he paid the bills
by editing, he continued shooting
his own projects.
Since then, Lyde has produced
and directed various flms that
have received national attention,
such as Osombie and Take A
Chance, as well as several You-
Tube videos.
But, there are challenges to
being an independent flm direc-
tor, not the least of which is money.
Its unsteady work, Lorien
said. You never know when youre
going to have money come in.
Lorien said there can be issues
being a flmakers wife, or flmak-
ers widow, as the industry calls
it, due to the long work hours of
flmmaker husbands. The couples
sometimes worry about things
that make being employed nice,
like insurance. But thankfully,
things have always worked out.
Lydes biggest advice to future
flmmakers is to make sure its
fun but to spend the least amount
of money possible. He added theres
more to making a flm than being
creative with a camera.
Theres a passion in going out
and being creative, but some of the
most successful flmmakers have
business degrees and look at it
from the business side, John said.
He said that with his frst big
flms, he failed to look at them as
a business endeavor, and thus,
his investors didnt get much of a
return. Having learned this les-
son, now he looks at flm projects
as both creativity and business.
Paul Hunt, a local actor and
business partner with Lyde, said
Lyde is a director who has learned
how to make a very high-quality
flm project with a very low budget.
Hes not just an editor, not just
a director, hes got a good business
mind too, which has contributed to
his success, Hunt said. His style
is about as indie as you can get,
lots of guerrilla flm making, but
he doesnt sacrifce quality.
Lyde takes making successful
flms out of a small budget one step
farther with his ability to make
clean flms.
I really like producing my own
projects because I can have a say
content wise, and I can control
the amount of swearing, sex and
nudity, Lyde said.
Lyde said that while working in
the mainstream industry would
give him a bigger budget for flms,
he prefers the amount of control
and constraint he has in the inde-
pendent industry.
Hes very close to his values.
Thats one thing I like about work-
ing with him, Hunt said. Hes
still able to pull off interesting,
good-quality flms without sex in
them thats a true professional,
a true artist.
Not only do Hunt and other
actors enjoy working with Lyde
because of his values, they also
enjoy it because he is easygoing
on the set.
Johns probably the busiest
one on the set, but hes still super
patient with everybody, and he
always seems happy, Spencer Bar-
ber, a local actor who has worked
on two of Lydes flms, said, Hes
really easygoing, easy to talk to.
Lyde hopes to keep making mov-
ies for the rest of his life.
Its so much fun, I dont want it
to stop, Lyde said.

PUPPY
Puppies for Rent

or management companies before
bringing a pet into their homes.
Just talk to the owner or
the agent and express that
(you) will babysit the dog for a
couple hours, Briggs said. It
really depends on the facility
owner.
Briggs said there are
rules against pet ownership
because animals can damage
rental properties. Depending
on damages, pets can create
minimal to extensive charges
for tenants upon move- out.
He also said students should
be considerate of the needs of
roommates.
Aubreigh Gynn, a junior
from New Canaan, Conn.,
majoring in economics, said
she rented a puppy because it
was convenient and fulfilled
her desire for a dog.
I have never had a dog, so
it was fun to have a puppy for
two hours, Gynn said. My
roommates have joked about
buying a dog since last year. I
have kind of put my foot down
because I dont feel like we
have time or money for that.
So, now you can get a puppy
for a couple hours and then you
are done.
Gynn said she had a posi-
tive experience with the puppy.
People from her ward stopped
by her apartment throughout
the evening to play with the
puppy. Gynn rented a Maltese.
I recommend doing it,
Gynn said. It is good, clean
fun. Just cuddle with a puppy
for a couple hours. It makes
you feel happy.

HIT LIST
Created as a
solution for
reaching audiences,
the Hit List is a new
form of advertising
Continued from Page 13
spent looking at ads. The Hit
List first appeared when Col-
legiate Advertising ran a brief
beta test for the summer.
Created as the solution for
annoyed students and busi-
nesses who were having a
hard time reaching their
audience, Andrew Stewart,
Joseph Meservy and Devin
Killpack, who started Colle-
giate Advertising four years
ago, approached businesses
with their plan. Several com-
panies signed on.
Businesses have loved it
because the students love it,
Stewart said. Businesses
want to go where students
are, and students are on the
Hit List. The Hit List provides
a cool way to reach students
thats much more engaging
than they currently have.
As of Nov. 12, the Hit List
now grants hidden prizes,
randomly given out to click-
ers who help move the count
along but who do not click on
a winning number. Each day
one grand prize is given away,
and between 20 and 30 students
win smaller prizes. But there
is something the Hit List is
doing that makes it even more
unique: donating a grain of
rice for every single click.
Australian Aid, an over-
seas government aid program,
teamed up with
the Hit List and
helps purchase
and deliver sev-
eral hundred
pounds of rice
to people in
need every few
weeks. Rice was
chosen because
it is quantifi-
able, and stu-
dents so far have
really loved the
chance to give
back.
I think the
rice donations
are awesome,
Danielle Hanson, a Hit List
winner, said. Obviously its
catching on really fast so
they could do some real good.
The fact that its humanitar-
ian gives the Hit List that
much more
appeal, so
Im excited
about it.
The HIT-
LIST team
believes in
p e r s o n a l ,
face- to- face
c o n t a c t .
They refer to
their adver-
tising efforts
as boots on
the ground,
with lots of
door-to-door
k n o c k i n g
and talking
about the Hit List.
BYU junior Emma Vidmar,
a recent grand prize winner,
was one of thousands of stu-
dents whose apartment was
visited personally by the Hit
List team. Between the mini-
whiteboard left with her room-
mates and word of mouth from
her friends, Vidmar soon
learned all about what the Hit
List had to offer her.
I mozied on over to the web-
site and figured out what was
going on, Vidmar said. I was
like, Free stuff for answering
some questions and Im giving
to charity while I waste my
time? Cool.
As the Hit List continues to
gain popularity with students
in Utah County, the ownership
team looks to what the future
has in store. Players will soon
be able to choose their charity
as well as their prize, allowing
for more personal interest in
clicks. Larger donations, such
as international microfinance
loans, will be given away on
Sundays.
The biggest change for the
Hit List, however, will be its
planned national expansion.
Although a few test runs of
the Hit List were done in Texas
prior to reaching BYU, Provo
was where the concept was
developed and fully publicized.
The Hit List team has obtained
patent protection for its idea
and intends to continue per-
fecting the site as the members
take it to other university com-
munities across the country.
Were very excited about
the technology, Stewart said.
Were excited about the oppor-
tunity in the marketplace for a
tool like this. The Hit List will
go national, and BYU is and
has been the launchpad.
SHOES
Shoes have a
secret underlying
message
Continued from Page 13
Carson Monson, a European
Studies major from Draper,
on the other hand, said its not
that simple.
It shows that they arent
necessarily focused on what
others think of them and
theyre comfortable with their
image, but it also shows that
perhaps theyre not as profes-
sional or as well put together,
Monson said. So, its de-
nitely a two-edged sword.
Kimbal, who tends to wear
more comfortable shoes rather
than fashion-forward shoes,
said while there may be corre-
lation between shoes and per-
sonality types, it shouldnt be
a very big deal to people.
You cant judge a per-
son based solely
on their shoes.
If someone
is that into
material things, something is
wrong, Kimbal said. Aside
from the shoe problem, they
just have deeper issues as a
person that matter a lot more
than wearing dumb shoes.
Thompson agrees that peo-
ple shouldnt judge each other
based solely on their shoe
choices, but said people need to
be aware of the attention their
shoes get.
I dont judge anyones char-
acters based on their shoes, but
whether people like it or not,
your appearance does matter,
Thompson said. People are
going to look at you, and theyre
going to look at your shoes; you
cant avoid it. Whether you like
it or not, people are going to
think youre trying to make a
statement about yourself, so I
think its kind of ignorant to
think you can wear whatever
you want and people shouldnt
judge you for it.

Businesses have loved

it because students
love it. Businesses want
to go where students
are, and students are
on the Hit List.

Doctor Who,
Gangnam and
pop culture
Foreign pop culture continues
to gain popularity in America
B y L i N D s e y W i L L i a m s
For Michael Kim, a Hal-
loween costume became more
than an outft when he not
only dressed up as the artist
of Gangnam Style but also
performed a fash mob of the
dance in the song.
Foreign pop culture often
crosses country lines and
comes to America. The band
Of Monsters and Men origi-
nated in Iceland. The book
series Harry Potter came
from the United Kingdom.
Recently, the Korean song
Gangnam Style and the Brit-
ish television show Dr. Who
are gaining popularity outside
of the countries they were cre-
ated in.
Kim, 21, studying interna-
tional relations, received a
recommendation from one of
his friends to dress up as PSY,
the artist of the song Gang-
nam Style, for Halloween
because he is half-Korean. He
frst heard of the song from
his mom after returning home
from his mission.
The frst time I saw it I
thought it was a little inter-
esting, Kim said. I thought
there was a whole lot of
Korean music that was better
than that, but it grew on me.
Gangnam Style launched
on July 15 and holds the Guin-
ness World Record for being
the most liked video on You-
Tube ever, with over fve mil-
lion likes.
Kim said it is great to have
the song gaining such popu-
larity in America.
A lot of Americans know
about K-Pop, Kim said. Peo-
ple actually know what Korea
is, and its not just focused
on North Korea and nuclear
bombs.
Stephanie Thayn, a senior
from Wellington, said she
loves Korean pop culture.
This love developed after she
served in the Taejon South
Korea Mission. She saw the
song Gangnam Style on
Facebook.
I thought it was really
similar to all Korean music,
Thayn said. I didnt know it
would get so popular.
Thayn attributed part of the
songs popularity to the use
of the English phrase sexy
lady in the song.
Some of the K-Pop I listen
to has no English, and I dont
think Americans like it as
much, Thayn said.
While Gangnam Style
crossed the Pacifc Ocean to
get to America, Doctor Who
came from the Atlantic Ocean.
Doctor Who is a British sci-
ence-fction television show.
It originally debuted in 1963.
In 1989, the show took a break
until 2005, when it returned.
Unlike The Offce, an Amer-
ican television show adapted
from the British Broadcast-
ing Corporation version of the
show, Doctor Who comes in
its original British form.
Jill Hacking, a senior study-
ing humanities, began watch-
ing Doctor Who because her
dad watched it growing up.
It just kind of became a
family thing, Hacking said.
It has a broad appeal, but
it never gets inappropriate.
I feel like its a show that all
ages can watch; my younger
siblings watch it.
Hacking explained that
the appropriateness of the
show for all ages comes not
only from the show avoiding
profanity but also from Doc-
tor Who solving his problems
through negotiations and
cleverness instead of through
violence.
Hacking said she thinks
it makes sense the show has
gained popularity in America.
When we first started
watching it and we found
other Doctor Who fans we
would be like, Oh my gosh,
there are like two of us in
America, Hacking said. It
seems to have gained a bigger
following, so now its not as
surprising.

The man behind The Story Trek
From BYU, to tri-city news anchor, to FOX13 and back again
B y K e N N e T h B a L D W i N
Todd Hansen is living the
dream: eating Ramen noodles
while sitting in front of a com-
puter, editing his network tele-
vision show.
Hansen has been covering
stories for decades as a news
anchor, on-site reporter and
recently as
the host of a
show called
The Story
Trek, where
he knocks
on random,
unsuspecting
peoples front
doors and asks
inhabitants if
they want to
be on TV.
I started a
hundred years
ago at BYU,
Hansen said
sarcastically. I wanted to be a
sports reporter go to games,
meet coaches and players but
fate steps in like it always does.
Hansen took an internship
with associate teaching profes-
sor Bob Walz. Hansen credits
his love for news to Walz.
I just loved the idea of doing
something different every sin-
gle day, Hansen said. I real-
ized soon with sports I was going
to be doing the same thing. They
were different games, sure, but
it was the same thing. As a
reporter I wasnt even allowed
to cheer. It was rough.
After graduating, Hansen
took a job as a news anchor at a
small tri-city station.
I hated it, Hansen said.
He eventually got fed up with
on-camera news reporting,
settled down with a marketing
job and never expected to be on
camera again.
The Story Trek actually
started with something I did at
FOX13, Hansen said. It was
called Trippin With Todd. I
went around, knocked on ran-
dom doors and got peoples sto-
ries. If I could have done that
everyday at FOX13, I probably
would have stayed forever.
When BYUtv was looking for
new program-
ming, Hansen
stepped up
with the hope
that he could
start Trippin
With Todd
everyday.
Be careful
what you wish
for, Hansen
said. You just
might get it.
Jon Andrus
has been work-
ing with Han-
sen since the
beginning of The Story Trek
series. He believes strongly in
the concept of the program and
its host.
I call him the Dr. Phil of
hosts, Andrus said. When we
go into any room, any interview,
within five minutes theyre
opening up about the crazi-
est personal things. Hell have
them crying, and by the end of
it, we are all best friends.
The whole production crew
agrees putting on a show that
leaves so much to chance has
its diffculties.
None of us had ever made
a network TV show before,
Andrus said. It was defnitely
a learning curve.
Despite the diffculties, Han-
sen and his crew are now fnish-
ing production on their second
season.
Im constantly reminded
that everyone is having trials
theyre dealing with but some-
how theyre able to overcome
them, Andrus said.
Joe Belliston works with
The Story Trek as a sound
engineer. Among the many
shows he works on and the pro-
ducers he works with, he said
Hansen sticks out from the
crowd.
Todd comes in, and I get the
whole stories behind the stories
that make it on the show, Bel-
liston said. The Story Trek is
reality, its a fun show, but the
good thing about Todd as a pro-
ducer is that he gives me and
my team liberty to do what we
want.
A personable touch is Han-
sens specialty, and it extends
to whom he recruits for his pro-
duction crew.
Eric Gaylord joined Hansen
at the start of the second sea-
son of The Story Trek. Han-
sen worked with him at FOX13
and persuaded Gaylord to quit
in order to be a part of his own
crew.
We follow him into the storm
every time, Gaylord said. We
know hes going to take care of
us. When I left FOX13, I wanted
to make sure this was a posi-
tive change. We looked at it as
a great opportunity, a sign that
this is what we were supposed
to do.
Gaylord is also surprised at
Hansens ability to connect with
people.
I try to think what would I do
if these people showed up at my
door, Gaylord said. I wouldnt
let them in. Theres something
about Todd that just makes peo-
ple feel at ease.

Dr. Syed Nabi, a doctor at the
Sleep Institute of Utah in Ogden,
treats individuals who have or
may have a sleep disorder.
You have to figure out where
[the symptoms] are coming
from, Nabi said. Its like a head-
ache.
Similar to a headache, the
symptoms could come from a
number of different stressors in
the persons life.
Dr. Nabi meets with his pa-
tients and asks them questions
about their symptoms. If he sus-
pects an issue with the patients
sleep, he will order a sleep study.
This study evaluates the person
while he or she is sleeping and
measures brain activity.
Jared Facer, a senior major-
ing in international studies at
BYU-Hawaii, has the most severe
form of sleep insomnia. Facer, of
San Clemente Calif., served as a
missionary in Colorado Springs,
Colo., where he received his diag-
nosis. According to doctors, his
insomnia was triggered by high
elevation. After staying awake
for seven days, he was honorably
released from his mission. Five
years later, doctors are still un-
able to help him sleep.
I sleep maybe six hours a
week, he said. My body func-
tions on about two hours of sleep
[a night]. Ive been on every type
of medication, but nothing will
work.
Since the time most people
spend sleeping is time Facer can
use to his advantage, he said he
tries to be productive.
I work a lot, he said. I do a
lot of pondering and scripture
reading. Isaiah is not as boring
as people told me it was.
Sara Michael, a junior major-
ing in public relations, also be-
lieves she has a sleep disorder,
though she has not been diag-
nosed.
A lot of times when Im sleep-
ing, I wake up and think my
dream is still happening, she
said. My dreams are really
crazy.
At times, she dreams a family
member is in danger or someone
dangerous is in her room. She
wakes up and acts how she would
if the event was happening, at
times creating a comical situation.
Michael said her vivid dreams
can affect her sleep because she
still thinks about them, even af-
ter she is awake and knows it was
a dream.
Sometimes [when I am dream-
ing] I want to stop the dream, but
I cant, she said.
To fall back asleep, she listens
to music or lies in bed quietly.
Michael believes her active
dreams could be caused by stress
because they often occur when
she is in a new environment or
with new people.
While these two students have
rather severe cases of sleep dis-
orders, many Americans have
problems sleeping, including
BYU students. Those experienc-
ing symptoms can receive help
on campus from Biofeedback
Services in the Wilkinson Stu-
dent Center.
Barbara Morrell is a clinical
professor at the Counseling and
Career Center and coordinator
of Stress Management and Bio-
feedback Services.
We use biofeedback to help
people become aware of stress in
the body and where theyre hold-
ing the stress and tension and
then to learn to relax it, she said.
While Biofeedback Services
does not treat diagnosed medical
conditions, it is designed to help
relieve stress and tension, often
alleviating common sleep disor-
der symptoms.
One of the ways that stress
impacts sleep is that our brain
waves are different speeds, de-
pending on what were doing,
Morrell said. Our brains are
fast for thinking and doing and
very slow for sleeping. If we are
stressed and our mind is racing,
it is very tough for our minds to
slow down enough to sleep.
Biofeedback Services focuses
on relaxation training. Anyone
seeking help with relaxation
techniques can either schedule
an appointment with Biofeed-
back Services or visit the web-
site, caps.byu.edu/biofeedback-
and-stress-management, where
downloadable relaxation re-
cordings are available as well
as information on ways to sleep
better.

What started as an idea for a
simple Christmas gift, turned
into something Harry Potter
fans around the world could
enjoy year round.
In 2008, with Christmas just
around the corner, Sara Anst-
ed, a BYU graduate, was strug-
gling to think of a present for
her sisters. Knowing their love
for Harry Potter, Ansted went
online to find affordable, au-
thentic looking wands, but was
disappointed to find the wands
cost more than $70.
Ansted decided to try her
hand at whittling and made her
own Harry Potter wands.
I got some wooden dowels
from the BYU Bookstore and
said to myself, Ok lets see what
happens, she said.
Two years after Ansted made
her first wands she decided to
sell them online. She made
a store on Etsy.com and was
pleasantly surprised to see
people all over the world want-
ed to buy her wands. The wands
cost up to $18 and have been
purchased by people in Brazil,
Spain, England, Australia, Po-
land, Canada and Italy.
Stacy Julin, Ansteds co-
worker in the circulation de-
partment at the Provo City Li-
brary, purchased The wands as
birthday presents for her three
sons. She was impressed by the
workmanship and price.
Each wand is unique and re-
ally authentic looking, Julin
said. Ive seen other wands for
sale at craft sales and farmers
markets, but they are priced
much higher, and I like Saras
Wands better. My kids just de-
scribe them as awesome.
Ansteds wands can be found
online by visiting Etsy.com
and searching Embershad-
eDragon.

Students with Provo in their
rearview mirror are missing out
during spring term.
The well-kept secret of spring
term is full of warm weather ac-
tivities, like river rafting and re-
cord-setting water balloon fghts,
that would be simply miserable in
the middle of December.
The worlds largest water bal-
loon fght in Summer 2010 was
hosted by BYUSA, BYUs student
service association, with almost
4,000 students and more than
120,000 water balloons.
While campus activities are
scaled down during spring term,
there is still plenty to do. Clubs
and other student groups, such as
the popular Laugh Out Loud com-
edy troupe, also hold activities. Be
sure to check the events calendar
on The Universe website for up-
dates and more information.
For those seeking a spiritual
boost, devotionals and forums
also continue during spring term.
Students who have purchased
an All Sport Pass and want to
watch a good sporting event can
enjoy baseball and softball games,
as well as tennis matches and
track and feld competitions.
Steven Leyland, a pre-business
major, said campus is less crowd-
ed during spring term, which is a
potential beneft.
Campus is more freed up, Ley-
land said. There isnt all the foot
traffc where you cant get to class
on time because youre bumping
into people.
In a poll done by The Universe,
71 percent of students who partici-
pated said they do not take classes
during spring or summer terms.
Milanne Carpenter, a nursing
major, said even though classes
are hard, studying for fnals is
easier because the course takes
place over a shorter period.
Although it was intense, a lot of
the teachers are pretty laid back,
Carpenter said. And I like that I
only have to remember material
from two months ago instead of
four months ago.
Another beneft of being on cam-
pus during the summer months
is the weather. With warm spring
temperatures, many students en-
joy being outside to throw a fris-
bee around or just to take a break
between classes.
When youre coming out of
classes you can go sit on a bench
and it isnt cold, Leyland said.
David Bracero, a geography
major, summed up his favorite
things about spring term in one
sentence.
Smaller class sizes, not as
many credits, better parking and
good weather, Bracero said.
B y K r i S T A r o y
There is a tarp tucked under the
bed, with a sleeping bag stacked on
top, seeming anxious and ready to
go.
Their owner, Kim Stevens, a se-
nior from Colorado Springs study-
ing mechanical engineering, puts
them to good use. Last summer she
set a goal to never spend Friday
night in her bed.
I was thinking of things I want-
ed to do that summer and realized
there was no reason I shouldnt be
camping every Friday night, she
said.
Stevens camping streak lasted
from the start of summer into
the Fridays of fall, and she even
camped during winter semester.
In January, my roommates and
I went to Goblin Valley thinking
we would get warm weather, but
it got down to three degrees Fahr-
enheit, Stevens said. We didnt
sleep much, but it was still fun.
Scott Jackson, a junior from Ev-
erett, Wash. studying mechanical
engineering, found inspiration in
Stevens weekend hobby.
Our group just went out and did
something no one else was doing,
and it didnt need to be planned,
he said.
Stevens agrees and said this
hobby teaches her to live off the
bare necessities.
I bring a tarp, sleeping bag,
sometimes a hammock and run-
ning shoes, Stevens said. Theres
nothing better than rolling out of
a sleeping bag and running in the
Saturday air when everyone else
in Provo is still sleeping in their
beds.
Stevens and her outdoorsy atti-
tude will keep her out of her bed
again every Friday night this sum-
mer.
Life is too short to spend it
sleeping in your bed, she said.

Weekly five: Tips for driving in the snow

B y C A S E Y R H O T O N
Anson Winder jumped out of
the snow and into the car to head
to school. Despite the snow on the
road, he took a sharp left-hand
turn at the normal speed. Sud-
denly, the brakes locked and he
was sliding right toward another
car. In the nick of time, his brakes
caught and he was able to correct
the turn, narrowly escaping a
collision.
Like Winder, many students
dont experience snow driving
until they come to BYU. These
tips will help break the ice.
1. Be realistic
Drivers need to be realis-
tic about what conditions they
can safely drive in, said Kurt
Spitzner, instructor and opera-
tions manager at Bridgestone
Winter Driving School.
If you feel like the conditions
are too challenging for you, they
are; accept it, he said. If youre
not familiar with driving on
snow and ice, if you dont have
any training and you dont have
a car that is properly equipped for
that kind of weather, stay home,
dont drive and be realistic.
2. Manage expectations
When drivers are already
in transit and must continue
driving, they need to adjust
their expectations for the cur-
rent situation. Drivers need to
understand with snow and ice
stopping distances are going
to greatly increase. Therefore,
following distance should also
increase, Spitzner said. Winter
weather brings dangerous fac-
tors to the roads and drivers need
to respond.
3. Have the right tires
Knowing what type of tires are
on the car is more important in
winter than any other season,
and the type of tire actually mat-
ters more than the type of car,
Spitzner said.
Since the four tires you have
are the only connection you have
between you and the road, it
doesnt really matter what kind of
vehicle youre driving, Spitzner
said. All-wheel drive sport util-
ity vehicles really (do) not have
reasonably more traction than a
small front wheel drive sedan. Its
all about what the tires can do.
Bryan Conrad, assistant man-
ager of Big-O Tires in Provo, rec-
ommends winter tires because
they provide the traction and
safety needed with the hills and
the snow in Provo.
When a winter tire works best
is when its 45 degrees or below,
thats when the tire comes out
and really does the job it needs
to, he said. The reason we put
winter tires on is to give us the
traction we need and the safety
we need.
4. Keep car in good condition
Maintaining the washer uid
levels to ensure good visibility,
using good antifreeze to prevent
freezing the engine and keeping
a reasonable amount of gas in
the tank are all relatively simple
things to keep a car in good condi-
tion. According to Spitzner, win-
ter is the most important season
for cars to be in good condition.
Most people think, Hey, Ill
put the key in and it starts and in
the other three seasons you can
get away with that to a certain
extent, he said. Just in the win-
ter, you really cant. Make sure to
spend a little bit of time making
sure you have everything you
need.
5. Be prepared
Keep an ice scraper, bottles of
water, a blanket and some snacks
in the car in case of an emer-
gency. Sliding off the road may
leave the driver stranded for a
while and emergency supplies
may sustain until help arrives,
Spitzner said.
Even if all you do is have
a couple of protein bars in the
glove box and a couple of bottles
of water in the trunk and a blan-
ket or two, that can make a differ-
ence, he said.

I love the atmosphere of family, we dont
always get to be together, so its a really special
time, especially after nals. I miss celebrat-
ing Nigerian traditions that make me feel at
home.
I miss having a real Christmas tree, we
have an abomination of a plastic one. And I
miss eating lots of my great-grandmothers
pumpkin pie.
