Brian Edelstien
Assistant
Coach Brian
Edelstein has been named Interim
Head Coach for the 2011-12-basketball season. He replaces Coach
Brad Barton who died suddenly,
Oct. 4, 2011.
USU Eastern athletic director
Dave Paur has been named the
associate head coach for the mens
team. He will take charge over
player discipline and will advise
Edlestein and Hammer on running
day-to-day operations of the team.
Coach Edelstein commented I
am humbled
and gratified
for the confidence the administration Dave Paur
has shown by
my selection as interim head coach
of such a successful basketball
program. This is not how I envisioned becoming a head coach.
Edelstein said he admired
Barton and the positive impact
the coach had on him, the team
and the program at USU Eastern.
It is my intention to carry
on in Coach Bs footsteps and
provide stability and leadership for the great young men in
Coach Brad Bartons parents, siblings, nieces and nephews plus the USU Eastern community united at a candlelight vigil in Bartons

Drunkenness has made an appearance on campus once again.
A female in Aaron Jones (AJ)
Hall was booked into the Carbon
County Jail Oct. 14 too intoxicated to give a viable sample for
a breathalyzer, said Officer James
Prettyman, USU Eastern Campus
Police.
He said campus police responded to a report of public
intoxication in AJ where they found
the intoxicated person in question
passed-out in the hallway, outside
of her room. When the officers tried

Also remember while communicating; a relationship is like a telephone call when it comes to communicating. If you are the only one talking then the
conversation is dull and it does not go anywhere then
eventually ends.
Real communication isnt explaining your entire
day to someone, because frankly, 99 percent of the time,
your days arent that interesting. True communication
spans far beyond spoken words. Its verbal and mental,
as well as even physical, writes Prior Aphter.
You and the person you are dating are both receivers
and senders of information about your relationship. So
it is important that you send and receive information
correctly. Just because you sent a message to your
partner, does not mean they received the same message you sent.
In every relationship the lines of communication
break away at this point. A guy may say to a female,
I really like you, but the message the girl gets is I
love you, I want to marry you and live in a big house
with a white picket fence. So maybe that is not always

Life is funny sometimes when you look back. Even if
youre just out of high school, you can always look back on
things that you have done and most of the time, you can
even laugh over them.
Youve always been told that life is short, but how short
is it and who determines how long? Some look at the religious
aspect of it and say, Theyre in a better place or Theyre
with the angels while others say, It was just their time.
We all experience loss in our lives for one reason or
another, thats just how life rolls; its what we do when loss
happens, thats what defines us.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be hard, even if
the one wasnt a loved one, it can take an unforeseen toll on
a person. Talking helps and yes, you big tough guys, crying
also is a form of true coping.
Sometimes it can be hard to admit that we cry, but deep
inside its an expression that the soul uses to show pain and
anguish.
A large part of my soul was torn out when I spent nearly

My favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride.
Its a classic, a great action-adventure and love story. My
most favorite parts in this movie are where Vezzini keeps
saying the word, inconceivable. At one point on the top
of the Cliffs of Insanity, Inigo stops him and says; You
keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think
it means. That one sentence sums up this opinion piece,
but please continue to read.
In article six of the U.S. Constitution it says, No religious
test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or
public trust under the United States.
Is a group of people showing intense devotion to a
cause, person, or work, a definition of a cult or is that the
definition of religion? What about, belief and trust in and
loyalty to God, cult or religion? Lastly, abodyof beliefs
and practices regarding the supernatural and the worship
of one or more deities.
In the news lately we have heard about the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints being called a Cult. Pastor

this program, Edelstein said. I look forward to the opportunity and the challenge.
Coach Edelstein came to USU Eastern from the
University of South Carolina where he was the video
coordinator for the Gamecocks. Edelstein holds a
bachelors degree in communications from Cal Poly,
and a masters degree in sports and recreation management from Kent State University. Edelstein was
appointed offensive coordinator by Coach Paur for
this years team.
Paur has coached the USU Eastern womens
basketball team since 1989. Prior, he was head
mens basketball coach at Californias Kings River
Junior College and athletic director and football and
basketball coach at Chowchilla High School. Paur
will continue with his duties as athletic director, and

There is still much work to

scope of our efforts as they relate
to education and research. We are
enthusiastic about taking these
initial steps to create the opportunity to do more in the future.
Summer programs
goes back into the community
surrounding campus, benefitting
from the large amount of tourism
given by the thousands of people
that purchase gas, food, and general
shopping around the area.
The summer camps always
have been operating profitably and
efficiently, and they have supplied
both the community and the college
with significant benefits. This will
continue to increase, as it has for
the last several years.
Some of the participants in this
summers camps were the 5A state
football champions from Bingham
High School, who brought 200
visitors to the campus. There
were other football camps that
included Timpanogos, East, Lone
Peak, Westlake, and Mt. View
high schools. The other sports
programs included both girls and
boys basketball and cross-country,
in which a number of high schools
were represented.
Gear Up and Upward Bound
programs were hosted on campus
as well. These programs purposes
are to expose prospective students
to the college experience. The
summer programs have been an
excellent recruiting tool year in
and out. Scott Madsen stated,
KC (Smurthwaite), did an excellent job on helping the camps run
ited to go elsewhere.
The summer programs will
continue to grow and are always
on the lookout for new opportunities. Daniel Allen was hired in
February of 1999 to replace Steve
Bringhurst, the former Director of
Special Programs. Upon leaving,
Bringhurst left the program empty
of scheduled events for summers
to come, files and records were
missing, and many major camps
transferred permanently to Dixie
College.
They managed to piece the
program back together and restore
it to be greater than its former
potential. Daniel Allen also took
on the responsibility of Associate
Vice President a few years later,
while still managing the special
programs.
In December 2008, he accepted
a teaching position at Utah State
University. He does this nine
months out of the year, during
which time the planning for
summer programs happens through
baseball coaches Scott Madsen and
KC Smurthwaite. Allen says its
a minor conflict with my full time
teaching responsibilities.
The summer programs continue
to flourish thanks to the hard work
and organization of the entire staff
involved in making it possible.

a fool of [herself] because everyone was

Volleyball is what brings Wells to USU
Eastern. When her strained toe isnt bothering her, you will find Wells hard at work in

of setter. I love setting, she says, I love
team work. I love when six individuals on
the court can come together as one to beat
an opponent.
Beating opponents is very important to
Wells. Her least favorite thing about the game
is losing. She loves the competitive nature

Ill tell you this, Paur said.
When he went into our gym
(for practice), and those doors
shut, it was done the Roman way,
methodically.
Paur said that, in the afterlife, he
looks forward to playing a game
of one-on-one against Barton.
He said Barton was the toughest
player he knows of, but that he
feels he is a close second himself.
Joe Cravens, who coached
Barton at WSU, said he didnt
know what to think when he first
met him.
I used to say Brads like a

shows up at your doorstep and
you cant get rid of him. In fact,
he loved that story, and used to
say, Coach, Im the best stray dog
youve ever had. I would always
say, Yeah, now if we only can
get you house-trained.
Cravens said that, through the
time he coached Barton, he came
to learn that he was a hardworking player who would do whatever it took to win, often bending
the rules. He said Barton ruined
every drill he had, and forced
him to change the rules because
he would always find loopholes.

The degree finder provides a variety of ways for users to search USUs for-credit offerings
The new tool is drastically different from the way USU used to
display its degree offerings. Two
years ago, USU had a long list of
majors organized by colleges and
departments. Each major linked
to a different place; sometimes
a department page, sometimes a
PDF and sometimes it didnt link
anywhere. Because they went to
so many places and were managed
by different offices, the links often
became broken.
The degree finder provides a
variety of ways for users to search
USUs for-credit offerings. In
addition to an A-Z list, users can
search by college, degree type,
level (undergraduate, graduate,
minor, etc.), and they can see
which programs are available at
graduate program.
Im really excited for the
tool to be available, said Marsha
Bailey, a staff assistant in the
Wildland Resources Department.
I get requests from prospective
students for information all the
time, and it will be nice to send
them a link to these pages that
provide them with the basic information.
The site will be reviewed
and updated annually as part of
the already existing process for
updating the General Catalog at
the beginning of each calendar
year. But, updates can be made
at any time by contacting Purser

an intention to study

You want to become filthy
rich. If you are the standard oxygen-breathing person, this applies to you. You have pondered
from time to time the potential
fast tracks to this lofty state of
wealth and income. Many of you
may have even found fortune in
the money-making business. For
those on campus who have yet
to decide on their ideal vocation
and make definitive educational
goals, the most recent Payscale
survey may offer some insights.
The Payscale annual survey
found the top-ten bachelors degrees for financial prosperity to
be in 2011, in order from lowest
to highest paying: petroleum engineering, chemical engineering,
electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, computer engineering,
physics, applied mathematics,
computer science and nuclear
engineering.
The lowest paying degrees on
the other hand were found to be,
in order from highest to lowest
paying: art, public health, athletic
training, theology, recreation and
leisure studies, special education, culinary arts, social work,
elementary education, and child
and family studies.
Only seven percent of students who took part in a survey
on campus expressed an intention to study within the top-ten
fields. Twenty two percent had
no definitive plans beyond their
general education requirements.
And a whopping 17 percent fell
into the category of students
studying the subjects marked as
the lowest. All others who took
part were significantly more
centrally inclined.

The most satisfying thing that

His strengths go along with

is always there for people when
they need something. He reminds
me of Denzel Washington, when
he acts in Remember the Titans.

him of Samuel L. Jackson, in
Snakes on a plane.

Cosmetology students
raise money for cancer
USU Easterns cosmetology program joined area salons in the community to raise funds and awareness of breast cancer with a cookie and
cake sale on Oct. 11 in the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center where they
raised $575.
Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Alicia Marelli,
owner of Bellasano Salon and Spa, is in her second year of the annual
fundraiser to help women in the community offset the financial struggles
of fighting breast cancer.
Naming it Salons for Survival, the money generated will be given
to United Way of Southeastern Utah to fund a local woman who needs
financial help to fight the deadly disease.
Some of the ways the money will be used include paying for preventative care such as mammograms or screening, travel on the Perky Bus
for treatments, paying for a chemotherapy treatment, and the list can
go on. The most important aspect of this fund raiser is that all funds
generated will stay in the community to help women who have been
diagnosed with breast cancer, Marelli noted. She said it is good way to
give back to the women who have supported the salons for many years.
Participating salons promised to donate 20 percent of their entire sales
every Tuesday in October, conduct raffles and wear T-shirts designed
with the Salons for Survival pink logo printed on each one.
