It is safe to say that col lege life for BYU softball

outfielder Carly Duckworth is built around the

sport she loves. While she attends classes like

any other student, she also practices for four

to five hours each day. This is, after a ll, what

it takes to compete at the college level, and win.

But the hours — and li fe — spent in dedication

to a sport can mean preparation for life beyond

competition doesn’t happen.

A recent study published by Sports Illustrated

in March 2012 showed 78 percent of NFL play-

ers and 60 percent of NBA players go bankrupt

shortly after retirement. Trevor Wilson, directorof the Athletic Advisement Center, is someone

trying to make sure these statistics don’t affect

BYU’s athletes. He believes the scope of his job

goes beyond keeping athletes elig ible to play.

“Our job really doesn’t end until (student-ath-

letes) are securely in a career and self-reliant,”

Wilson said. “It’s more than just college. These

are life skills that also come along with student

athletes that, I feel, we have the responsibility

to teach.”

The process Wilson has designed for athletes

mirrors what he learned from visits with the

Marriott School. Once students have entered

the program, they begin a process of learning

career-finding skills that will land them a job

after graduation.

This year, Wilson began a three-phase pro-

cess that helps prepare athletes for life after

their sport. The phases consist of career work-

shops, labs and fairs. So far the results have been

positive.

“It started slow,” Wilson said. “This (career)

culture wasn’t here. Now we’re starting to get

really good numbers out of these workshops

because there’s momentum.”

Without the necessary tools, most athletes’

focus is naturally on the sport they’ve been prac-

ticing most of their lives. For this reason, the

administration has worked hard to make sure

athletes are prepared to leave the university.

BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall said

he knows his players have the goal to be in the

NFL, and he said he wants them to be leaders if

they make it there. However, according to Lamar

C. Campbell, who wrote the article, “For retired

NFL players, the most challenging ‘season’ is just begi nni ng,” the avera ge reti rement age of

an NFL player is 28. Mendenhal l wants his play-

ers to know they have 50 years of life afterwards.

“I’ve been really trying to help our players see

that perspective,” Mendenhall said. “I really do

focus a lot on the educational component, just

making sure they know the numbers. … I think

(the NFL) is a great thing if they can be one of

the 30 percent that play three years or longer and

stay away from all the things that are hard and

problematic that many leave the league with.”

He said the new career path of fered by BYU is

a way to educate players about their future lives

and how much life there is to live after football

or any sport. He al so said it helps them afterward

to use skills they’ve learned.

Complaints of local gymmemberships skyrocket

B y S T E P H A N I E P R O B E R T

The new year is here, and many

students have a resolution to get

in better shape. However, without

proper research, contracts can make

or break a person’s gym experience.

The number of complaints about

gym contracts doubled from 2011to 2012, according to the Utah Bet-

ter Business Bureau. It received 330

complaints dealing with either bro-

ken verbal promises or unknown

clauses in contracts last year.

The Utah Division of Consumer

Protection noted that gyms were one

of the top 10 most-complained-about

industries in the past year.

Brad Coons, an exercise science

major from Alamo, Calif., is one

of many students who found unex-

pected requirements with his gym

contract. When Brad served his mis-

sion he was locked into a two-year

contract with an option to “freeze”

his membership while he was abroad.

Coons paid all of his fees for the

two years up front and expected that

when he got home from his mission

he would be able to sell what would b e

left of his contract. Coons found out,

however, that he did not fully under-

stand all of the stipulations.

His contract had expired upon his

return, leaving him nothing to sell

and forcing him to stay at this par-

ticular gym for a year and a half to

get his money’s worth.

Coons was also promised he could

use all of the gyms nationwide, which

he later found out was limited to 10

visits outside the gym in P rovo.

“It’s been really frustrating

because I can’t get a straight answer

and you can never trust what they

are saying because many gyms work

off commission, so their salespeople

just want to make money,” Coo ns

said.

Coons’ wife, Rachel Coons, is a per-

sonal trainer at another gym in Utah

and says many people choose to work-

out where she works because there is

no contract.

“People come in all the time

and ask if we have contracts. Once

they find out that we don’t, they

are ecstatic and tell me about how

unhappy they have been with recent

contracts they have been in,” RachelCoons said.

Most of the issues that arise come

from members not fully reading

the contracts and not knowing all

the details. This comes from either

being rushed into a decision by a

promotion, having a sales represen-

tative tell the client something differ-

ent than what is in the contract, or

members simply not taking the time

to educate themselves.

Jane Driggs, president of the Utah

Better Business Bureau, says most

of the complaints the BBB receives

on this matter relate to people being

stuck in a contract or their sales rep-

resentative telling them something

other than what was actually writ-

ten. She offers this advice: read the

fine print.

“Complaints made to the Better

Business Bureau used to be that t he

gym was too crowded or unclean;

now they are mainly about contracts.

Probably 80 percent of the complaints

we get could be avoided if people too k

the time to fully read what they are

getting into,” Driggs said.

Along with this advice, she says

to be sure everything promised by a

salesperson is in the contract. If it is

not, she advises to have the salesper-

son write it in and initial it.

“Oftentimes, these people are on

commission, which leads to a lot of

complaints of people getting prom-

ised things that are not actually writ-

ten into the contract,” Driggs said.

Designs for the Provo CityCenter Temple released

Highly anticipateddetails answerquestions about

newest LDS structure

B y L A U R E N M Y R I C K

The release of the designs for the

Provo City Center Temple has resi-

dents, students and employees of

Provo and surrounding areas eager

for the completion of the building.

Provo’s Community Development

office received official bid plans for

the temple and surrounding grounds

from The Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-day Saints, and the Church

is going to great lengths to preserve

the historical nature of the old Provo

Tabernacle.

“Upon entering the new temple,

its familiarity to the historic tab-

ernacle will be evident,” said David

Hall, director of Temple Design Ser-

vices in the Church’s Special Projects

Department.

The temple will have four floors and

will be 85,084 square feet. The main

entrance will be located on the south

side of the building with an additional

entrance from the underground park-

ing area, which holds 245 vehicles.

The plans reveal that thi s temple will

have elaborate grounds and less sur-

face parking than most other temples.

When the temple was first

announced, it was estimated that the

Provo City Center Temple would be

available for use in early 2 015, but that

date is not set in st one.

“Excellent progress is being made

on the construction, but given the

complexity of working with a historic

structure, it is still too early in the

process to provide a meaningful date,”

said Scott Trotter, spokesperson for

the LDS Church.

Dixon Holmes, Provo’s deputy

mayor of economic development,

thinks the temple and the grounds

will be a wonderful addition to the

community and will benefit everyone.

“We don’t anticipate the temple

parking to be a problem in downtown.

We are excited about the amount of

new traffic this will bring downtown,

of which temple patrons may choose to

eat or shop while downtown .”

Dan Stubbs, Provo’s chief building

official, agreed, saying, “The new

temple will increase business activity

and add to t he downtown experience.”

Holmes anticipates that the histori-

cal nature of the entire facility will

elevate the quality of the downtown

experience.

“People have a history with this

building,” he said. “They will want to

come see how it fits into downtown.

They will discover that there is so

much to see and do in downtown t hat

they were not previously aware (of).

Not everyone coming to the temple

will be going inside. There will be

wedding parties, visitors and those

who just want a nice, peaceful respite

in a busy urban setting.”

Provo City employees aren’t the

only ones excited for the completion

of the new Provo temple. Students, too,

feel enthusiasm to attend another tem-

ple in Provo.

“It is such a blessing that the temple

is coming to that area of Provo,” said

Emilie Davis, a human development

major from Lehi.

Winter camp brings joyto teen amputees

For teenagers who have had a limb amputated,

the term “disability” doesn’t describe them in the

least.

The Shriners Hospital for Children in Salt L ake

City has organized a youth camp for teen ampu-

tees between the ages of 12 and 18.

The camp, Unlimbited, was created in 2004 as a

support group for youth and their peers to be able

Public health studentsempathize with impoverished

B y T I M S H A W

Utah Valley University public

health students experienced a

month of poverty as the depart-

ment faculty coordinated with

Community Action Partnership

of Utah to host a poverty simu-

lation on Feb 8.

“The students in our program

learn about health disparities

and issues facing low-incomepopulations in several classes,”

said Sue Smith Jackson, assis-

tant professor of community

health. “We are hoping this sim-

ulation will bring a deeper level

of insight and awareness to

their educational experience.”

According to Community

Action Partnership (CAP),

about 76,000 people in Utah

County, including 20,000 chil-

dren, live in povert y. CAP hosts

poverty simulations in hopes of

raising awareness of poverty in

Utah.

Faculty members and CAP

volunteers act as employers,

social workers, pawnbrokers,

utility bill collectors and oth-

ers whom individuals living inpoverty must confront.

Kelly Casey, a CAP employee,

adds unexpected difficulty for

some participants by rummag-

ing through program packets

left unattended and stealing

imitation Social Security cards

and fake money. As the pro-

gram’s appointed illegal activi-

ties person, her job is “to make

the simulation a little more

real.” She does not wear a badge

like the other role-players.

Participants in the simu-

lation are assigned to family

groups and given certain roles

to play. At each 15-minute inter-

val, family groups end the “day”

meeting in their home and pre-

paring for their next task. The

three hours between 9 a.m. and

noon will take them through

the struggles that families liv-ing in poverty face during a

typical month.

“They will see situations

of other people from a whole

different light,” Karen Hill, a

United Way resource develop-

ment employee, said. Hill’s role

as the utility company repre-

sentative included collecting

past-due bills and shutting off

electricity for some families.

She hopes participants will

understand poverty is “not a

matter of choice, it’s a matter

of situation and unforeseen

circumstances.”

Kaitlan Marsden, volunteer

coordinator for Community

Action Services, said pov-erty does not typically seem

as people expect it. “Poverty

really does exist here; it’s just

more hidden,” Marsden said.

“If things don’t match our ste-

reotypes, we often miss seeing

them.”

Many families living in pov-

erty, according to Marsden, are

two-parent Caucasian families

with at least part-time work.

According to CAP’s research,

13.5 percent of Utah residents

are living below the poverty

line.

While this is UVU public

health department’s first pov-

erty simulation, CAP can read-

ily bring the same program

and materials to organizationsinterested in participating in

their own simulation. Contact

Nature center renamed for wildlife advocateB y S A M A N T H A G I L B E R T

The Great Salt Lake Nature

Center at Farmington Bay,

home to a variety of wildlife,

was renamed the Robert N.

Hasenyager Great Salt Lake

Nature Center to honor a long-

time wildlife advocate.

Hasenyager is a former Utah

Division of Wildlife Resources

member as well as executive

director of the Utah Wildlife

in Need Foundation. He has

been a key advocate for the

center but was recently diag-

nosed with a terminal illness.This discovery, in addition to

his retirement, allowed him to

slow down on his work and be

recognized for his efforts.

On Saturday, Feb. 9, the

center was officially renamed

as speakers, including Hase-

nyager, were able to share a

few words.

Hasenyager started the Utah

Wildlife in Need Foundation

and put together a temporary

nature center at Farmington

Bay. These efforts allowed

further exploration and

conservation of the general

Utah ecosystem as well as of

the wildlife that inhabit the

area.

Dean Mitchell, Utah Divisionof Wildlife Resources outreach

chair, was a key member in the

decision to rename the center.

“Bob had a vision to help peo-

ple, in general, understand the

Great Salt Lake ecosystem,”

Mitchell said.

Mitchell said the legacy

Hasenyager will leave to his

family and the State of Utah is

immense and that he has done

a lot to deserve this. “It was a

beautiful ceremony,” he said.

Diana Vos, director and the

only full-time employee of the

center, said Hasenyager “was

instrumental in getting the

nature center to become what

it is t oday.”

Vos works with a large num-

ber of volunteers to keep thecenter up and running. The

center takes pride in running

field trips for fourth-grade

students. Hosting scouts of

various ages and providing

the programming they need to

meet various badges is another

key role of the center.

John Preston, a business

finance major from Burley,

Idaho, is an avid bird hunter

and has always been interested

in the center.

“It’s so fun to go out and be

at the center with friends and

family,” Preston said.

There is always room for

visitors, volunteers or other

exhibits of interest to the pub-

lic. Volunteer supply is short,

and the need for willing work-ers is always great. Visit great-

saltlakenaturecenter.org for

more information.

Avoiding problems

Continued from Page 1

Another complaint Driggs

noted was that people sign

contracts and then cannot

afford the monthly payments.“Once you have signed it

you have a legal responsibil-

ity to hold up your end. If you

can’t afford it, don’t sign up,”

Driggs said.

Mike Tait, a psychology

graduate from Phelan, Calif.,

has been a member of a local

gym since 2007 and is satis-

fied with his gym member-

ship. When he first signed up

he heard many reviews that

his particular gym scams

people, but Tait chose to do

his homework.

“I went into the gym to

sign up, (and) I did something

that I am pretty sure the vas t

majority of people who get

memberships don’t do: I read

the contract,” Tait said.

Tait said he learned many

gyms have an auto-renewal

clause in their contracts.

Unless otherwise stated,

memberships remain active

even after contracts expire.

He made a conscious effort to

remember the dates he agreedupon, finished out his con-

tract, signed off, and has had

no issues.

“I think the moral of the

story here is that you need

to know what you are getting

into when you sign a contract

and how that contract is going

to end, whether it be by your

efforts or automatically. I

understood what the con-

tract said and therefore left

my gym a happy customer,”

Tait said.

The BBB says consumers

should take their time read-

ing any contract. If the deal

seems rushed or is presented

as a limited-time offer, it is

smart to wal k away.

The BBB also advises peo-

ple to research a gym before

signing a contract. Take into

account the budget needed for

the membership and check

out the gym at peak times.

Watch out for salespeople’s

pressure and carefully read

the contract and understandthe policies.

Before consumers sign a

contract, they should under-

stand it can last for months

or years, some gyms require

cancellation fees, and it can

be hard to transfer a member-

ship when moving.

The BBB said it success-

fully resolved 94 percent of

complaints about Utah gyms

last year. However, consum-

ers can avoid most of the con-

fusion and frustration they

face if they do their research

before signing a binding gym

contract.

“Football can be, really, a

vehicle to prepare them for

NFL is the same. So our pro-

gram and the NFL can help

them prepare for life, but it’s

not an end-all. It’s just a way

stance and potential.”

As athletes get closer to theend of their athletic careers,

they come to this realization

and need to understand how

to reach their potential. Ath-

letes can be caught off-guard,

but this program is trying to

prevent that.

“At the beginning of this

year, I was really nervous,”

Duckworth said. “I was com-

ing into my junior year and

I had figured out my major,

but I needed to look past that

to what I am going to do after

college.” To do so, Duckworth

harnessed what the Athletic

Advisement Center offers stu-

dent athletes.

Duckworth explained with

the introduction of the career

path she became excited

because it was exactly what

she needed. She has attended

all the sessions and has found

a path after college that excites

her. She said one thing shelearned was how to leverage

her experience to employers.

“You learn so much through

athletics like teamwork, hard

work, being coachable and

time management,” Duck-

worth said. “All these different

skills that we’ve learned can

translate over to an occupa-

tion. Just helping us to recog-

nize that was really helpful

because I always thought I’d

been at a disadvantage.” And

the opportunities for student-

athletes to learn how to transi-

tion continue to ramp up.

“The Student-Athlete Aca-

demic Center will continue

conducting these workshops

next semester,” associate

thletic Director Janie Penfield

said. ”Some teams have estab-

lished mentor relationships to

assist with the transition from

college to the professional

ranks.”For now, Duckworth contin-

ues her life of morning classes,

afternoon practices and eve-

nings in the Student Athlete

Building. But she feels her

future outside of sports is more

secure now.

TEMPLE

Design plans

revealed for former Provo Tabernacle


“I’m not worried that people

will stop going to the older Provo

Temple,” Davis continued. “The

Provo City Center Temple will

have a sense of coolness because

it’s new, so it will be exciting to go

there. But I can walk to the older

temple, so that is probably where I

will continue to attend.”

Due to the historic nature and

landscaping plans for the new

temple, Stubbs thinks it will be a“great place to hold weddings and

enjoy pictures of the grounds.”

Trotter is excited about the pro-

spective weddings to happen at the

new temple.

“The historical preservation,

interior features and extensive

landscaping of the new temple will

create a beautiful setting for visi-

tors and temple patrons, includ-

ing couples being sealed in the

temple,” he said.

With the addition of the Provo

City Center Temple, Provo City

will be the second city with a pair

of temples. South Jordan beat

Provo to the punch in 2009 withthe Oquirrh Mountain and Jordan

River temples.

“It is inspired to build a temple

out of the ashes of the tabernacle,”Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said at the

new Provo temple’s ground break-

ing. “Having two temples within

miles of each other is a tribute

to you that the brethren would

approve another temple here. That

says very much about you.”

Utah House approves billextending 80 mph speed limit

B y S T E P H A N I E P R O B E R T

A bill to increase the num-

ber of 80 mph speed zones was

passed in the Utah House with

a 69-5 vote.

The Utah Department of

Transportation would add more

strips where drivers could go 80

mph along Interstates 15, 80 and84 if approved by the senate.

Current law allows several 80

mph test areas on I-15 in places

such as Nephi and Cedar City for

the past four years. If this bill is

approved it would let drivers go

80 mph from Santaquin to St.

George, which covers nearly 240

miles.

HB83 also proposes 80 mph

zones to be placed on I-15 from

Brigham City to the Idaho state

line, on I-84 between Tremonton

and Idaho, and on I-80 from the

Nevada line to the Tooele-Stans-

bury exit.

There are over 800 students at

BYU who call Nevada home, and

more than 1,700 from Idaho, and

many are excited about the newchanges they could see on their

drives home. TJ Thomas, a com-

puter science major from Las

Vegas, Nev., drives home at least

once a month and sees the poten-

tial changes as a reasonable step.

“I really am excited for this

change. People already drive

that fast anyways, and making

it legal means faster travel times

and fewer problems with police.

I think if the speed limit was

upped to 80, traffic violations

would go down,” Thomas said.

In Thomas’s experience he

feels that the change from 75 to 80

mph in these certain areas will

only be positive for drivers who

regularly use the roads.

“I’ve never seen any traffic oraccidents while driving in the 80

mph test areas. The difference

between 75 and 80 isn’t enough to

make people lose control of their

cars,” Thomas said.

Rep. James Dunnigan, R-Tay-

lorsville, is the sponsor of the

bill and said research proves

this bill is realistic, needed and

necessary. UDOT has conducted

research since 2008 and found

that 85 percent of drivers were

actually driving 82 mph in the

75 mph zone. Therefore, he sup-

ports the bill because of the logic

behind it.“The bottom line is people

were already going that fast and

now they can do it legally. People

have a comfort of how fast they

will go, and it is around 82–84,”

Dunnigan said.

Dunnigan said the increase

in speed limit will only be placed

on roads which qualify and are

deemed safe enough. These parts

of the highway would have to be

straight for a long distance and

have strips that are fairly level,

with no sharp curves or moun-

tainous topography.

Supporters of the bill believe

this change in speed limit will

have little to no negative impact

on the safety of travelers. In the

research Dunnigan and a teamof engineers conducted, they

found when the speed limit was

75 mph the average driver went

82 mph. When they increased it

to 80 mph in the test areas the

average driver went 84 mph.

“We found that drivers only

increased their speed by two

miles per hour. It was almost the

same. The only difference now

is that people can do it legally,”

Dunnigan said.

In their four-year study,

researchers found that when

the speed limit was increased

to 80 mph there was actually a

decrease of accidents by 11 per-

cent in one area and 20 percent

in another, with no fatalities.

Dunnigan jokingly attributesthis to people actually looking

at the road instead of checking

for cops pulling them over.

Ty Sivertsen, a political sci-

ence major from Las Vegas,

agrees with Dunnigan in that

there will be no issue of safety

with an increase in speed.

“Most people go 80 mph

already, so what difference

would it make? In all the times

I’ve driven through the 80 mph

test zones, I have never seen an

accident or problem,” Sivertsen

said.

Sivertsen drives on I-15 a cou-

ple times per semester to visit

home and thinks most regular

travelers will be supportive.

“Really, since everyone isalready going around 80 mph on

I-15 this law change will not have

much impact on the way people

drive on I-15. I think anyone

who drives these (roads) regu-

larly will hope this bill passes,”

Sivertsen said.

Some opposers of the bill have

questioned if the increase in

speed would cause an increase

in air pollution. Dunnigan

said there is nothing to worry

about. The effects on air pollu-

tion would be very little for two

reasons. One, the places UDOT

is proposing the change are in

rural areas, where the pollu-

tion level is relatively low. Two,

UDOT measured the pollutants

in modern cars and found that

there is little to no difference

in the level of pollution with the

increase in mph.

“Modern cars are not like old

cars where the faster you went

the more pollution it created. In

the newer cars, there is hardly

any difference if you are going

65, 75 or 80 mph,” Dunnigan said.

Because Utah is such a large

state with lots of distance to

travel, there was a large need

and desire from travelers to

increase the speed limits. Many

supporters of the bill believe

with the increase will come with

a better rate of compliance from

drivers.

The bill will wait until the sen-

ate makes a final decision.

Non-LDS professors at BYUB y K E L S E Y S N O W D E N

The Star of David, Crucifix

and Islamic star and crescent

are a few of the many religious

symbols that are not commonly

seen at BYU.

Though it would be easy to

assume that all students, fac-ulty and staff at BYU are mem-

bers of The Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-day Saints, this

is not the case.

One example is Professor

John Hughes, a Pulitzer Prize

winning journalist, a commu-

nications professor at BYU and

a member of the Christian Sci-

ence Church.

Hughes is a former reporter

for and editor of the Christian

Science Monitor, an inter-

national news organization,

where he was a foreign corre-

spondent and worked in Africa

and Asia. It was during his trav-

els that he first met a member of

the LDS church.

“The first Mormon that I evermet was in Cape Town, South

Africa,” Hughes said. “He was

a very nice fellow and said he

was a Mormon. I didn’t have

any idea what a Mormon was.”

Hughes would learn a great

deal about the Mormons in

the years to come. His career

as a journalist later led him

to become the associate direc-

tor of United States Informa-

tion Agency for the Reagan

Administration.

While working for the Rea-

gan administration, he met his

future wife, who was a BYU

graduate in print and television

journal ism.

“I didn’t know much about

her but that she was a verynice person,” Hughes said. “I

didn’t smoke or drink and nor

did she.”

Through his success as a

jour nal ist, Hughe s later met

President Gordon B. Hinckley,

who asked him to become the

editor of the Desert News in Salt

Lake City, a position he held for

10 years.

“President Gordon B. Hinck-

ley was astoundingly knowl-edgeable about newspapers,”

Hughes said. “He had a great

sense of humor, and I treasured

the time I knew him.”

Professor Eula Ewing Mon-

roe, from the BYU Teacher Edu-

cation Department, is another

faculty member at BYU who

is not a member of the LDS

church.

Monroe, a Southern Baptist,

first came to know BYU when

she attended a national confer-

ence in Salt Lake City in May

of 1990.

On the BYU Religious Studies

Center website, Monroe talks

about her experience to Provo

to visit BYU.

“While at the conference, Irented a car and drove to Provo

to visit Bob Cooter, then a fac-

ulty member in the Depart-

ment of Elementary Education

at BYU and a longtime friend

from graduate school days,”

Monroe says. “In passing and

almost in jest, I chatted with

Bob about potential opportuni-

ties for part-time employment

in mathematics education.”

After leaving Provo, Mon-roe received a call from the

department about a potential

job opportunit y at BYU.

“I was amazed that a South-

ern Baptist would be considered

for a position at BYU, and I had

serious doubts about whether I

would want to work at BYU if

the opportunity arose,” Monroe

said.

When offered the position,

Monroe said she received con-

firmation through the Holy

Spirit that she should accept

the position and has enjoyed her

years at BYU. She is an active

member of her church, First

Baptist in Provo, and is cur-

rently serving as the adviser

for the Baptist School Union(now called CrossSeekers) on

campus.

“I love my work at BYU,”

Monroe said on a BYU Reli-

gious Studies Center website.

“As a Southern Baptist whose

colleagues and students are

almost all of the LDS faith, my

story of finding God is not one

of conversion to Mormonism.

To the contrary, it is the story

of how my own faith has beenstrengthened during my years

on the faculty at BYU.”

Chemistry and Biochem-

istry Professor Juliana Boe-

rio-Goates, is Catholic. While

teaching at BYU her faith as

a Roman Catholic has been

strengthened.

“Teaching at BYU has helped

make me a better Catholic,”

Boerio-Goates said. “I was

better able to study my faith

because of the opportunities

I’ve had to share it with others.”

Boerios-Goates learned more

about the LDS faith through her

husband, Steven Goates, who is

LDS. The couple has taught in

the Chemistry and Biochemis-

try Department since 1982.Boerio-Goates said she is

open to learning more about

the LDS faith and on occasion

will read the Ensign and watch

devotionals. She also has a son

serving a mission.

Being a Roman Catholic at

BYU, Boerio-Goates has had

opportunities where she has

been invited to share her faith

with students. It has given her a

chance to reflect more about her

faith and to help students come

to a better understanding on

what Roman Catholics believe.

Boerio-Goates, who will be

retiring at the end of the year,

said she will always remember

BYU for the kindness she felt

from students and faculty.“BYU is a wonderful place to

teach at and I love how warm

and inviting the campus feels,”

she said.


BYU chemistry professor Julie Boerio-Goates attends Saint Francis of Assissi Catholic Church in Orem.


Parts of I-15, I-80 and I-84 will now have an 80 mph speed limit.

Make friends with a freshman, get a free meal Freshmen are willing to give upperclassmen

a free meal

B y E R Y N N K E R R I G A N

Starving upperclassmen prowl

down the hill to the freshman

dorms and hunt their next victim.

Free lunches at the Cannon

Center with the freshman meal

plans may be their only hope for

surviving the poor college days.

Tyler Wernli, a recent BYU

grad who majored in economics,

learned to apply classroom

principles to real-life situations.

Wernli and a friend used to go

to the Cannon Center, quickly

befriend some freshmen with

meal plans, and get a free lunch.

“My friend and I were

notorious for doing this,” Wernli

said. “We were ruthless on how

we worked the system.”Wernli and his friend had

several basic approaches when

trying to get a free lunch from

a freshman. In the economic

approach, they would go up to

a freshman and offer $3 in cash

in exchange for a meal at the

Cannon Center. The freshman

student would then slide his

card so Wernli would get the

discounted dining dollars rate.

“The card rate was cheaper

than the cash rate,” Wernli said.

The least successful approach

was begging random students,

so Wernli realized that finding

someone he knew from his home

ward or other connections proved

to be the best way for him to get

a free lunch. However, Wernli’saccomplice was set on flirting

with freshmen girls.

Wernli said his friend would

flirt with a girl who had another

girlfriend with her, and the four

made a perfect match. The only

downside to this was that Wernli

felt he had to follow the lead of his

friend.

“I was at their mercy,” Wernli

said. “I was like his pet monkey,

and he would get me in.”

Although he often had to work

for his free food, Wernli described

this sacrifice in just three words:

“All worth it.”

Wernli assured their tactics

were always legal.

“We never would sneak in,”

Wernli said. “We would alwaysfind a way that was legit.”

Matthew Stephens, from

Vacavilla, Calif., often swipes his

card for friends or family when

they are in town.

“I’m going to have extra money

at the end of the semester, so I

might as well spend it on someone

else,” Stephens said.

However, Stephens does not

give to strangers very often.

“I do remember giving lunch to

a stranger once,” Stephens said.

“He asked me if I had a ny money

on my card because he didn’t

have any money for lunch. He

didn’t really introduce himself.

He just asked if I could buy him

lunch.”

Stephens didn’t feel as thoughhe was being taken advantage

of and thought the stranger was

pretty casual.

Caitlin Wright, a history major

from American Fork, said she

would be a little apprehensive

giving a free lunch to a boy who

flirted with her just five minutes

before. Wright said she would

probably think it was a scam and

tell him she was busy.

However, Wright did mention

that if she were friends with an

upperclassman, the scenario

would play out dif ferently.

“If a friend is in need, I’ll help

them,” Wright said.

According to Wernli , however,

getting a free meal is not so much

about helping a friend as it isabout the economics involved.

“A dollar saved is a dollar

earned, so I earned a lot of money

and a lot of free lunches at the

same time,” Wernli said.

He mentioned that his

economics teacher always taught

him that in economics, there’s no

such thing as a free lunch.

“But I disagree,” Wernli said.

Upperclassmen are known to use a variety of tactics to get free meals out of freshmen.

Bryan Kubricht from Texas

and Li Ping Su from Taiwan

met and fell in love in Hawaii.

Their marriage was a un ion of

two people and two cultures.

Su and Kubricht have been

married for seven years, andboth are studying marriage

and family therapy at BYU.

They also co-facilitate the

Intercultural Couples Group

offered by the BYU Compre-

hensive Clinic, which is a

group where intercultural cou-

ples can meet and share their

experiences.

Intercultural couples benefit

from the mixing of cultures in

exciting ways but also face a set

of unique challenges.

Su said language barriers

were an early

challenge in

t heir mar -

riage, because

she was raised

speaking Chi-nese and was

still learn-

ing English

when she got

married.

“Sometimes

I will say the

wrong word

and get into an

argument,” Su

said.

Su said

that not all

intercultural couples have a

language barrier, but their

communication styles will

still differ. She said in Chinese

culture, people are direct with

their criticism and in America

most people use what Su callsthe “sandwich technique.”

“They give a compliment,

criticize … and give another

compliment,” Su said.

Su and Kubricht have identi-

fied their different techniques

for communicating so they can

understand each other’s inten-

tions and avoid being offended.

Jennifer Langi , the

Multicultural Student Services

cultural programs coordinator,

was born and raised in Mexico

in an intercultural family;

her father is Mexican, and her

mother is Lumbee Indian. She

has been married to her Ton-

gan husband, Maloni Langi, for

five years. Langi s aid that her

and her husband’s communi-

cation styles differ g reatly, but

she suggests this difference isnot a result of their cultural

backgrounds but because of

their different family cultures.

“We’re all the product of our

family culture,” Langi said.

“(We’re) what our parents

made of us, and we have an

opportunity to meld this new

culture and just make it better

and better.”

Kubricht also explained thatanother aspect of intercultural

marriages is negotiating cul-

tural traditions and holidays

between cou-

ples, which

he said can be

c h a l l e n g i n g

and exciting.

“It is veryapparent that

you have to

negotiate val-

ues and tra-

ditions right

off,” Kubricht

said. “This

is a benefit

because many

couples will

assume they

don’t need to

talk because

they are from the same cul-

ture and differences reveal

themselves later, whereas with

intercultural it is obvious.”

Kubricht said an extra

perk of bringing two cultures

together is the experience ofcelebrating more holidays. He

especially loves celebrating

the Chinese New Year with his

wife.

“I get the benefit of more hol-

idays to celebrate … like Chi-

nese New Year,” Kubricht said.

Victoria Stewart, who is

from Argentina, came to BYU

to study Spanish teaching.

When she arrived, Victoria

was asked out on many dates

but felt like the men ignored

her and were only interested

in her culture. Her dates felt

repetitive as multiple Span-

ish-speaking returned mis-

sionaries took her on dates

and only asked her about life

in Argentina.

Then she met Matt Stewart,

a fellow BYU student.“He treated me as a normal

person because of my person-

ality and not because I’m from

Argentina,” Victoria said. “(It

was) about having fun and get-

ting to know each other.”

Matt Stewart had never pur-

sued an intercultural rela-

tionship and was able to see

Victoria for more than just her

another country,” Matt Stew-

art said. “I was never like, ‘Oh

I’m going to marry a foreign

girl.’”

Su said when couples with

different cultural backgrounds

marry they have the opportu-

nity to form a personalized,

blended family culture. This

blending helps children of

intercultural couples be more

comfortable with diversity and

get more exposure to various

cultures early in life.

“It’s good for children to get

exposed (to other cultures),”

Kubricht said. “(They) become

comfortable in many different

settings.”

However, it is not just chil-

dren that can benefit from

being exposed to multiple cul-

tures. Langi loves the family

values shared between her

culture and her husband’s

and feels that she has become

closer to her husband.

“A neat benefit I’ve found is

a strong emphasis on family

in all three cultures (Lumbee,

Mexican and Tongan),” Langi

said. “It’s been so nice to see us

grow into e ach other.”

Intercultural marriages bring unexpected adventures




B y C A R I N D E L O S S A N T O S

When meeting someone new

on campus, asking where they are

from is pretty basic. For the chil-

dren of military service members,

choosing one place as “home” is

difficult.

Alexander White, a sophomore

majoring in Chinese, is a military

brat. White said he has moved 14times, so when he is asked, “Where

are you from?” it takes a minute

to answer.

“Sometimes it’s the place you

are living currently, other times

it’s the place you were born, some-

times I just claim the U.S.,” White

said. “Usually I pick California

because that’s where I was born

and my grandparents still live

there.”

While military children refer to

themselves as military brats, the

term has been used for so long that

few know its roots. The term does

not refer to the children actually

being “brats” but is an acronym.

The military is notorious for its

use of acronyms to shorten lengthy

titles. The term “brat” is an acro-nym that dates back to when Brit-

ish forces sent soldiers to India

and other locations. The soldiers

brought their families, officially

called British Regiment Attached

Travelers, or BRATs, with them

overseas. The term stuck and has

since been used in various coun-

tries to refer to the children of mili-

tary service members.

For White, life as a brat is a

family thing. Both his father and

grandfather were soldiers, as well

as his great-grandfather. As a

cadet in BYU’s Army ROTC, White

is continuing the tradition of mili-

tary service.

“I grew up in over-sized combat

boots and Army fatigues that my

dad had brought home,” Whitesaid. “It’s just something I’ve

always wanted to do, as long as I

can remember. It’s been one of my

life goals — to join the Army.”

The military life can be very

difficult, even traumatic, for brats.

Constant moving makes it difficult

to create long-term friendships.

Kyle Anderson, a senior study-

ing applied physics, is an Air Force

cadet. His father’s Air Force career

kept them on the move. Anderson

says friendships at church helped

with the transition.

“Our first night in Louisiana,

we showed up and they had a youth

night that night,” Anderson said.

“We hadn’t even unpacked. We

just showed up and twenty min-

utes later we go to play softball

with people and meet new friends.

Things like that definitely sped up

acclimating to the place. And you

kind of have a network already you

can talk to or go to.”

Anderson also said that when

his friends know about his back-

ground it helps.

“It explains to them why we

do certain things, why we are

conscious about being on time to

things or getting things done on a

timeline,” Anderson said. “We’re

disciplined like that because we

do have a military family. We

were raised that way. I think it

does give them an insight into why

we do certain things (and) into our

personalities.”

Captain Jeffrey Timmons

is an alumnus of BYU’s Army

ROTC program and recently

returned to the Cougar Battal-

ion as an instructor. Timmons

is also an Army brat.

“You’re not talking about a

poorly behaved child,” Timmons

said. “You’re describing a child

that just has had to deal with all

the dynamics of being offspring of

a military member and all of the

stress that comes with that. It’s not

just moving around.”

Military brats may have differ-

ent experiences, some of which

may seem exotic or traumatic to

others. However, Timmons said

they are still regular people who

do not ask for special treatment.

“I’m not any different than

the next person,” Timmons said.“Yeah, I’ve got some crazy experi-

ences, but everyone has different

and unique experiences.”

[ VIEWPOINT ]

‘We accept the love we think we deserve’Over Christmas I read the book and

watched the movie “The Perks of Being a

Wallflower.” The most quoted line from the

novel and the tagline for the film is, “Weaccept the love we think we deser ve.”

I’ve found myself thinking

about this often the past month

or so. And after thinking about

it so much, I agree with it, but I

also believe some of us think we

deserve a lot less tha n we do.

We all grow up with different

lives and different experiences

that affect us and shape us into

who we are and shape our outlook

on life. I’ve had highs where I’ve

felt on top of everything in my

life and I’ve had lows that I could

barely pull myself out of. I’ve had

lousy jobs, but I’ve had jobs I love.

I have a loving family, but our

family often knows how to hurt us t he most.

I’ve had great friends who would do anything

for me, but I’ve had friends who have stabbedme in the back and cast me aside. I’ve had

fantastic, loving boyfriends, but I’ve also

been in terrible, tumultuous relationships.

I’ve made extremely good decisions in my

life, but I have also chosen very poorly. And

as I’ve gone through the highs a nd lows, what

I thought I deserved out of life ha s decreased

and increased, back and forth over the years.

Others’ treatment of us often affects what

we think we deserve. I’m not necessarily

pointing this out because I think we should

all go take a hard look in the mirror and

expect better of ourselves and set higher

standards — we do know that . I’m saying we

need to use that knowledge to better serve

others. We need to be the confidant, thefriend that tells ou r loved ones they deserve

so much more than the mediocrity

they are grasping at.

We all watch the people we love

beaten down by jobs they hate. We

watch them go back to toxic friend-

ships. We watch them stay with the

girlfriend or boyfriend who treats

them with no respect and makes

them feel that no one else will ever

love them, that they are nothing.

We watch them try to repair famil-

ial relationships purely by rolling

over and blaming themselves.

Sometimes life breaks us and

we need help to repair ourselves.

No one needs to be reminded that

life is hard, but sometimes they do need to be

reminded they can do hard things. And we

should be that reminder.LDS leaders stress to us that we are chil-

dren of God who should be treated as such;

we have heard it all our lives, but for some

it hasn’t sunk in yet or they have forgotten.

Others who may not believe as we do may not

know either. And sometimes they need some-

one to take them by the hand and tell them.

The people who know our faults and weak-

nesses, but who stay by us and also see our

exceptional strengths and talents — some-

times we need them to tell us we’re shooting

too low. We need to hear it from them that we

deserve to be happy, that we deserve respect

and that love shouldn’t hurt.

I appreciate the times in my life that peo-

ple who really cared about my well-beinghave sat me down and told me I was better

than what I was settling for. Where I’m at

in my life right now I think I have a pretty

good idea of what I deserve out of my educa-

tion, my job, my social life, my family and

my future family. But I’d venture to guess

my loved ones, who see me as more than I

see myself, would say I’m still selling myself

short in some aspects.

I see the bad in the people I love, but I

also see the great i n them, and I consciously

strive to make sure they know how much

they deserve in all aspects of their lives.

I’m definitely not perfect at it , but it is some-

thing I’m aware of, and I think it’s something

important we should all be aware of.

Perhaps the next time we see our best

friend, our roommate, our siblings or sig-

nificant other settling for anything beneath

their capacity, we could tell them theydeserve more and why they deserve it. We

need to give them the love we know they

deserve.

[ ISSUES & IDEAS ]

[ VIEWPOINT ]

‘Home alone’I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anxiety

as I sat across fr om my mission president for

my departing interview. I’d sat in that chair

several times before, but this time was dif-

ferent. This would be the last time I’d meet

with him in this capacity, and we

weren’t exactly parting on the best

of terms — I was leaving my mis-

sion early, and neither of us were

happy about it.

Without going into detail, I was

in a bad place emotionally. In my

mind I retraced every step I’d

taken during the last 19 months

— there were a lot of them — try-

ing to figure out how I had gotten

there. The first year was so fu n. I

had success, and I got along with

most of my companions, but now,for some reason, I was depressed.

So after 19 months of service I

was released honorably and sent home to

get healthy.

As hard as leaving t he mission was, going

home was harder. There’s a stigma in our

culture that those who don’t serve missions

and those who return home early, for what-

ever reason, are somehow less than other

full-time missionaries. Every year several

missionaries return home prematur ely, and

because of this stigma many of them lose

their way.

It’s not easy to face family, friends, ward

members, and mentors — all the people who

were so proud to see you off — and tell them

you failed to meet their expectations. It’s

incredibly difficult to see the looks of pity

in the eyes of people whose respect you hold

dear and to feel like you’re no longer goodenough to be in their midst. So naturally,

some people quit.

When I got to BYU after my mission I

found it so hard to go to church every Sun-

day and listen to people talk about nothing

but the mission. I wanted to be uplifted,

and I wanted to be fed spiritually,

but talking about being a mission-

ary was hard. Often times I would

duck out after sacrament meeting

to avoid having to talk to people. Iknow I wasn’t helping the problem,

but it was the easiest solution. It was

a vicious cycle. I felt like a n outsider

so I didn’t attend my meetings, in

turn making myself an outsider.

The sad part to me is that often

people don’t even know that they

are ostracizing these people who

desperately need help.I’ve experienced it in dating, I’ve

seen it in elder’s quorums, and I’ve

even come across it in religion classes. The

girl you’ve been dating wants a cookie cut-

ter R.M. with no baggage, so she tells you

she understands, but she just wants to be

friends from then on. Every example given

in a priesthood lesson is a mission experi-

ence. To make a point your professor asks all

of those who have served missions to raise

their hands.

While missions are extremely important

and necessary to God’s plan, we have to

remember that they don’t necessarily define

the heart of the man or woman.

I have two gr eat friends who were released

honorably for various reasons, and I know

they have both struggled to find their places

again. One of them had an especially hard

time with his testimony because he’d beentaught his whole life that serving a mission

is the mark of a good LDS guy. After a few

wayward months, my friend found his way

back to the path, but how many early retur-

ing R.M.s never do? How many guys who

never serve missions feel that they aren’t as

good as their friends?

One of my greatest fears was telling my

wife, then girlfriend, that I had come home

early from my mission. Not because of the

emotional issues I had had to work through,

but because I didn’t want her to think I

wasn’t a worthy priesthood holder. Luckily

for me, my wife had taken the time to get to

know me and to learn what kind of man I was

— and still am. She understood that despite

my shortcomings and the circumstances

surrounding my release, I was still a good

guy. She understood the Atonement and that

all God expected of me was to do my best.To this day I find it hard to talk to people

about my mission experience because I don’t

want people to judge me. I love my mission.

I learned a lot from it, and I genuinely loved

the people I served. I just don’t want people

to think of me as different because of when

I came home.

We never know what is going on in another

person’s life. Let’s not be so quick to judge.

Let’s not be so fast to exclude. Let’s all make

more of an effort to understand. Let’s remem-

ber that missions are all about serving peo-

ple and bringing them into the gospel.

Outside the bubbleHave any of you also strug-

gled with life’s perennial ques-

tion, “What do I wear today?”

as you stare at your overflow-

ing closet.

Or have any of you joined me

in muttering the exaggerated

complaint “There’s no food,”

while staring at full cupboards

and a full refrigerator.

I read a book recently that

slaps me in the face every time

I even think of these phrases.

“Half the Sky” maybe could

be better titled with the famil-

iar catchphrase: “Count your

many blessings.”

We go to a private religious

university, most of us have

laptops and phones, most of us

have enough to eat and a warm

place to stay at night, yet we con-

sider ourselves “poor college

students.” My friends, we are

rich beyond comparison. We

can afford to learn of forgotten

events thousands of years ago,

or of the breakthrough tech-

nologies of the future. Often

when I tell people my major I

hear the usual response of, “Oh

well you aren’t going to be rich

with that.” I won’t be rich?! We

are all infinitely richer than

the majority of the world, and

we don’t even recognize it! In

our morning routines, we are

around more wealth and lux-

ury than most people enjoy in

their entire lifetimes! “Half

the Sky” illustrates the abso-

lute squalor the majority of the

world lives in. Could any of us

survive on less than a dollar

a day? Could we survive the

cutthroat environment where

success is measured not by

grades but the minutes that you

remain alive? Could we survive

without knowing how to read,

or having a warm clean bed,

or access to hot, clean water, a

roof, food, clothing, all at our

fingertips?

The majority the world is

concerned, not with that his-

tory essay due next week, but

with staying alive today. We

have no idea. This isn’t a guilt

trip or a request for an apology

for being born here; we don’t

need to apologize for being

born into such opportunity

because it wasn’t our choice,

but we also desperately need to

recognize that the little boy or

girl halfway around the world

didn’t have a choice where they

were born either.

The problems of the world

are vast beyond imagination

and overwhelming. But I am

not asking you to fix them, I am

merely asking all of us to truly

recognize how blessed and rich

we all are, just by the matter of

where we all live. If you want

to be shocked by how incred-

ibly we good we have it and

how rich we are, read “Half

the Sky.” Next time any of us

catch ourselves thinking “what

should I wear” I hope we can

realize how blessed we are that

we even have options of what to

wear. Next time any of us catch

ourselves thinking, “There

is no food,” I hope we realize

that is a legitimate thought for

hundreds of millions of men,

women, and children every

day. Next time any of us think

we are only “poor college stu-

dents” I hope we take a moment

and think of how wealthy we

are. We have no idea.

BYU’s sophomore guard Matt Carlino

steps up in the spotlight as he makes a tur n-

around in the WCC games this season.

Before conference games started, Car-

lino was averaging 7.2 points and 3.8 assists

per game but has spiked to 15.8 points and

4.9 assists since the first conference game

against Loyola Marymount on Jan. 3.

He was named the WCC Player of the Week

(Jan. 31- Feb. 2), making it the fourth time

BYU has had a player honored this season. In

his player of the week performance, Carli no

averaged 20 points, five assists and 2.5 stealsper game. He was also a runner-up in being

named January’s WCC Player of the Month.

Carlino fini shed with 28 points (10–17 FG,

3–6 3FG, 5–5 F T), six assists and two steals

against Santa Clara on Feb. 2 for arguably

his best game of the season.

“Our coaches have spent so much time

with Matt, just helping him with our offense

and with our players,” BYU coach Dave Rose

said following Carlino’s great week. “He’s

become a lot more comfortable with tak-

ing opportunities that are provided for him

instead of trying to force things. The last

couple weeks he’s been terrific. His decision-

making has been good and he shot the ball

well, and when he shoots the ball well, he

has a whole different mindset as far as his

confidence is concerned.”

Since Carlino made his entrance to BYU,

after transferring from UCLA in the mid-

dle of his freshman year, Rose emphasized

Carlino’s development as “a process.” Con-

sistency and efficiency was something that

came from experience, and Carlino needed

time to improve his game.

“Matt is actually showing progress with

the experience, and that’s really importa nt,”

Rose said. “It’s a really tough assig nment to

come in and be the startin g point guard as a

freshman in a program that has pretty high

expectations and has been pretty success-

ful. He’s handled it really well. … He’s in a

nice little spot, and I think our guys have

learned to actual ly play with him and appre-ciate what he does.”

Once Carlino steps onto the court, he

doesn’t fear who he’s guarded by and is never

afraid to take the next big shot. The pressure

doesn’t faze him and only makes him play

harder each night. His struggles earlier

in the season were something to brush off

because what people saw wasn’t really him.

“I just think I was playing dumb,” Carlino

said. “I wasn’t playing like myself. I was try-

ing to do stuff that wasn’t comfortable for me.

I’ve still taken some of it to what I’m doing

now, but it was just a learning experience.

I was playing bad — I don’t think we were

Jackie Beene McBride’s jersey to be retired

B y K I M B E R L I E H A N E R

Former BYU women’s basketball star

Jackie Beene McBride is returning to t he

Marriott Center to see her number 22 jer-

sey hung in the

rafters.

“Jackie was

a contempo-rary of mine at

BYU and one of

the all-time great wom-

en’s athletes in school

history,” BYU Athletic

Director Tom Holmoe

said in a press release.

“We are excited for the

opportunity to honor

her distinguished

career by hanging her

jersey in the M arriott

Center.”

McBride, a six-foot

guard/forward and for-

mer All-American, played

for BYU from 1978 to 1982

and graduated in 1984 with

a degree in family sciences

and child development. Sheis only the second BYU wom-

en’s basketball player to have

her jersey retired. The cere-

mony will take place during

halftime of the final home game

of the season against Gonzaga on

Saturday, Feb. 23.

McBride had a successful four-

year career at BYU but thrived

during her senior year. The

success never fazed McBride,

however. She was not focused

on the records or the awards,

but on working hard and l iv-

ing in the moment.

“You give it your all

like the rest of the yea rs,”

McBride said, referring

to her senior season. “But for

some reason, you know

you’re done after that.

So you cherish each

moment, you cherish

each game.”

McBride will admit

she is proud of scoring more than 2,000

points, a feat rarely achieved by men or

women. She ended her career with a total

of 2,191 points, one of the four BYU wom-

en’s basketball players to score more t han

2,000 points. Only four BYU men’s bas-

ketball players have reached that accom-

plishment. During her senior season,

McBride averaged 21.4 points per game.

“I wasn’t really playing for 2,000

points,” McBride said. “I didn’t go playto get 2,000 points. I just played ball and

had fun doing it, and whatever happened,

happened. … I knew it was close (to

2,000 points). People

told me because I

didn’t know.”

Despite all of her

individual hard

work, McBride is

grateful for her

teammates. Without

them, she could not

have reached such

incredible levels of

success.

“That was awesome

to have (former BYU

president) Elder Hol-

land be the one to

hand me that (game)ball and go over to my

teammates and gather

around and have a

shared moment,” McBride

said. “It’s not an individual

thing. It’s one of those things

that all of t hose people helped

me get. … It just happened to

happen, which, when you’re

surrounded by good coaches

and wonderful teammates,

it’s a possibility.”

One of her past teammates

was Tina Gunn Robison, for-

mer All-American and BYU

all-time leading scorer with

2,759 points. Robison’s jer-

sey was retired in 2004, and

her number 44 is hanging from

the rafters, waiting for its old

teammate to join it.

“That’s incredible to be

able to be next to Tina,”

Sisters, to the start line

B y L O R I E H O F F M A N

BYU is used to men coming and

going on missions. Professors, land-

lords and girlfriends all watch them

leave. Coaches are

used to these youngmen giving up their

scholarships and

handing in their uni-

forms for two years

to serve a mission for

The Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-

day Saints. But for a

young woman desir-

ing to serve a mis-

sion, the experience

is a little different. A

mission for women is

not an obligation.

When all the

sports coaches in the school were asked

if there were any returned missionary

sisters on their respective teams, only

four names were returned. All four of

these returned missionary sisters are

track athletes.

Deezbaa Whaley, Sharissa Thayer,

Sarah Yingling and Amy Moffat com-

pete on the BYU track team. Whaley,

Thayer and Yingling had the chance to

compete before their missions, while

Moffat felt her mission led her to par-

ticipate in track.

Whaley, Thayer and Yinling decided

to leave the track, their scholarships

and their schooling behind to serve a

mission for 18 months. Each had to walk

into their coach’s

office, someone whohad a plan and expec-

tations for them, and

tell their coach they

did not fit into that

plan for a while.

“They were always

supportive of what

the girls decided,”

Whaley said. “They

understand that if

the girls want to go on

a mission, it’s a step

that will bless our

lives in the future.

They encouraged me

to pray about it and to make sure it was

what I wanted to do.”

All three expressed the immense

amount of support and encouragement

from their coaches.

“I think the most important thing

is having support from the coaches,”

Thayer said. “(There were) several

girls considering missions and having

supportive coaches helped us to leave.”

Each expressed a different way in

how they handled track training —mis-

sionary style. All three made an effort

to stay fit, but not just for track, it is

their way of life.

“My mission president would ask me

in my interviews if I was exercising and

he would allow me an hour (for that),”

Whaley said. “So I would get up an hourearlier, and my companions were so

supportive and they would always get

up with me.”

Moffat felt inspired on her mission to

train for track and field for the first time

since high school.

“I just had to trust that I was doing

the right thing and trust the prompt-

ings I had that track was OK for me,”

Moffat said. “I could prepare for (try-

outs) and it wouldn’t take away from

my mission.”

Their athletic experience helped

them in more ways than one on their

missions.

“So many times on my mission I

was really grateful that I was really

athletic for most of my life,” Yingling

said. “Especially as a distance runner I

had the stamina to walk around al l day.

I was grateful that I had been kind of

trained to do that.”

BYU basketball cruises pastPortland Pilots for win

B y S U G E N E L E E

On the night when BYU legends

Mel Hutchins and Roland Minsonhad their jerseys retired, the men’s

basketball team cruised by the

Portland Pilots for a 86–72 victory.

Although they came off two

losses, the BYU men’s basketball

team (19-8, 9-4 WCC) was anxious

to get back on track against Port-

land (10-18, 3-10 WCC).

“Any time that happens, you

come out focused because you’ve

been sitting around just practic-

ing and you want to play someone

else,” guard Craig Cusick said. “It

was great to be able to come out

with our guys and get a win.”

Cusick, who started in place

of Josh Sharp on Saturday night,

finished with 10 points and seven

assists. Tyler Haws scored a game-

high 28 points and grabbed eightrebounds. Matt Carlino also con-

tributed with 10 points, seven

assists and a block. The Cougars

shared the ball and finished with

26 assists, second highest of the

season, on 34 made field goals.

“I was really pleased with how

we shared the ball on offense,”

BYU coach Dave Rose said. “The

huge emphasis over the last week

was trying to get our guys to com-

pete together as a group on both

ends of the floor.”

Rose was also proud of how his

players contested shots, executed

the game plan and trusted each

other. BYU’s defense in the first

half is what ultimately gave theteam the 46–25 halftime lead as the

Cougars only allowed the Pilots to

shoot 33 percent from the field.

“I thought our defense was

really good in the first half,” Haws

said. “We had some lapses in

the second half, but we’re really

focusing on being a better team

defensively and not give up easy

baskets.”

Brandon Davies, who finished

with 23 points, five assists and

three blocks, passed Kresimir

Cosic and Jonathan Tavernari

on BYU’s all-time scoring list and

now stands 12th overall with 1,529

career points. Davies’ teammates

and coach shared nothing but

praise for Davies as a great team-

mate and player. Rose continuesto have high expectations for his

senior forward.

“When he’s good, he’s really

good,” Rose said. “Consistency

is the key for him. He challenges

himself, coaches challenge him

and teammates encourage him.

We need him to be good every

night — really good every night.”

The Cougars remain positive

and focused as they approach their

last few weeks of conference play.

Haws said there’s still a lot to play

for and that the Cougars are con-tinuing to get better as a team.

“Our players have a lot of fight

in them,” Rose said. “That’s really

positive for our staff. The huge

part of trying to be consistent and

being successful is to compete

and continue to compete together

as a group when you have some

setbacks and you have some dis-

appointments. I’m really pleased

with the week and the results of

this game.”

Cusick is proud of his team’s atti-

tude and the way it has approached

the season.

“Everyone wants to play, but the

thing about this team that makes it

special is that every player on the

team has a good attitude,” Cusick

said. “The guys on the bench thataren’t playing minutes, I’ve been

there, they’re just as important as

the guys on the court. The attitude

and the positivity that everyone

brings is what makes a team spe-

cial, so we need to keep that going.”

BYU welcomes Utah State to the

Marriott Center on Tuesday at 7

p.m MST. The game will be broad-

cast live on BYUtv and KSL radio.

BYU softball picks up SLCCstandout Mylee Davis

B y B R I T T A N Y B I V I N G S

The BYU softball team added

a Salt Lake Community College

transfer to its roster this season.

Sophomore catcher Mylee

Davis was added to the 2013 Cou-

gar roster last month in a middle-of-the-year transfer. Davis played

her freshman year at SLCC, but

according to her, that was just a

stepping stone leading up to her

goal of playing Division 1 softball

for BYU.

BYU scouted Davis while she

was in high school and gave her

an offer to play as a freshman,

but she decided to play for SLCC

instead. It was a bold move by

Davis, but one well-played, as

she knew she could receive a

better offer after getting a year

of experience.

BYU was always the end goal

for Davis. She never saw her-

self finishing at SLCC and kept

in contact with BYU, hoping to

be recruited again. BYU calledher just a few months ago and

extended another offer to play

for the team. Davis jumped at

the opportunity to play, thinking

she would start in the 2014 sea-

son. However, the Cougars had

a need for her this season and

made a quick transfer. It was dif-

ficult for Davis to leave her SLCC

team and make the transfer, but

in her heart she knew it was the

right decision for her.

“Playing at SLCC was the best

experience I’ve ever had,” Davis

said. “Coach Amicone (SLCC

coach) holds you to such a high

standard that you have to per-

form (like) a champion all the

time, in all aspects, and so it was

good for softball and to grow asa person.”

Davis recorded impressive

freshman-year stats on a team

that made it all the way to the

NJCAA National Champion-

ship game. She had a .317 batting

average with five home runs and

32 RBIs in her first season and

acted as a wall for the Bruins’

plate.

Davis is still adjusting to the

new school and new curricu-

lum. She is a psychology major

and is surprised at the change

of pace academically at BYU.

She now spends more time

doing homework and working

towards establishing herself.

She believes attending BYU will

give her the “BYU edge” on herrésumé that will help her land

her future career.

“It’s such a wonderful atmo-

sphere and so different from

being at SLCC,” Davis said.

“Academically, I’m learning

so much, and I feel like I’m a

lot more knowledgeable. And

it’s so nice to be around people

the same age and with the same

beliefs as you.”

Davis said college softball

will be the end of her softball

career, but this 19-year-old soph-

omore has some other plans for

her future. She hopes to travel

and is even planning on doing a

service project in Africa.

“I’ve always wanted to help,”

Davis said. “My grandma andcousins were involved in differ-

ent projects like the ones after

the hurricanes in Haiti. I would

love to be assigned to a project

and help in a community as well

as be able to see new places.”

When Davis is not behind

the plate, she enjoys spending

time outdoors doing activities

like hiking and fishing. She

also has a love for musicals and

participated in all of her high

school’s musicals in Syracuse.

She likes to get crafty too and

make things, such as her own

clothes.

Davis played in just two tour-

naments with the Cougars,

the Red Desert Classic and the

Easton Desert Classic, wherefive able catchers are work-

ing hard for the starting spot.

Davis said her teammates have

made the adjustment easy and

have been very welcoming. But

like her, the softball team is

still getting adjusted to work-

ing together as a team, becom-

ing comfortable with each other

and finding its team identity.

JERSEY McBride’s legacy will live on


McBride said. “To me, I feel hon-

ored to be in the rafters with Tina.

She was an incredible player. We

just worked together and accom-

plished a lot of great things

together.”

M c B r i d e ’ s

old team had

a reunion a

year and a half

ago to catch

up and seeeach other in

person again.

To McBride,

it was as if

no time had

passed. They

picked up right

where they left

off. She mused

about what it

would have been like to play

basketball and be at BYU t oday.

“I laugh because we didn’t

even have spandex back then,”

McBride joked. “They get span-

dex underneath those shorts. We

had to wear t hose short-shorts

and I was like, ‘Can’t we wear

some longer shorts?’ I would’ve

loved to wear those longer shortsthat they have now.”

One aspect of McBride’s

experience at BYU was very

similar to the experiences of

many young women today. She

married her high school sweet-

heart, Brent McBride, after writ-ing him every week while he

was serving an LDS mission in

England. They got married her

sophomore year.

“When he was leaving it was

very difficult for both of us,”

McBride said. “We wrote once

a week for the whole mission, so

you know we were pretty seri-

ous. I did date while he was on

his mission. For me, it was just

comparing and making sure.

Nobody compared to him.”

Since 1982,

McBride’s life

has changed

d r a m a t i -

cally. Origi-

nally from

C l e a r f i e l d ,her family

now resides

in Meridian,

Idaho. She has

three children,

Erin, Michael

and Andi, and

three grand-

c h i l d r e n .

When her chil-

dren were growing up, McBride

encouraged her children to par-

ticipate in whatever activities

they wanted. She wanted them

to do what they actually wanted

to do rather than forcing basket-

ball on them.

“Really everything that I’ve

done so far has been about help-

ing my kids,” McBride said. “Inever forced my children to play

basketball. I don’t want them to

be me; I want them to be them

and find out what they like the

best. I had to balance myself and

say, ‘What do you want to do?’ So

they all found their own path.”The most exciting part about

having her jersey retired is shar-

ing it with her family.

“They just think that it’s the

coolest thing ever,” McBride

said. “They are over the moon

about it. My son keeps saying,

‘Mom, do you know how big this

is? No you don’t, you do not!’ My

daughter is proud of me for other

reasons than my jersey being

retired. They’re good kids.”

Her youngest daughter, Andi,

might not be able to make the

ceremony because she is a mem-

ber of the Weber State University

track team and may have team

commitments, but McBride

understands that commitment

very well.“She was really disap-

pointed,” McBride said. “But

I said, ‘Look, you’ve got to do

your thing. Go win it, do your

best. That’s where you’re sup-

posed to be.’ Of c ourse I’d love to

have her there, there’s no ques-

tion. I missed things when I was

playing ball. I explained that to

her. I missed things because I

was committed. Once you sign

on that line, you’re committed

to that team.”

Today, McBride is helping her

friend assist a high school bas-

ketball team along with work-

ing full-time. She loves lighting

a fire within the girls and using

her talents to help others. She

also loves spending time withher family. Her time at BYU is

a part of her life that she will

always cherish.

“When you play college ball

and you’re a student athlete,

those are times that will never

be forgotten. It was incredible.It was a great, great opportu-

nity, and I feel very privileged

to be a part of BYU in any way.

The neatest thing I think is the

people you meet, the people who

touch your lives for good. You

learn from them, you grow from

them and you’re a better person

for being around them. I really

am grateful.”

“When you play

college ball and you’re

a student althlete,

those are times that will

never be forgotten.”

Jackie Beene McBrideFormer BYU women’s basketball star

CARLINOTransfer basketball player makes an impact on the team


playing that well in the season as

a whole.”

Now that he’s playing more

consistently, Carlino is happy with the Cou-

gars’ chances of winning. Know-

ing his team can go into each game

thinking they will come out with

a victory is what he likes the most

about his personal play.

“I think a lot of times it’s been

a good correlation; when I’ve

played well, we’ve won,” Carlino

said. “That’s a good feeling to have

when you know if you go out and

play well, it’s a good chance your

team is going to win.”

Fans have been discouraging

Carlino from shaving his head

again because of the way he has

been performing after letting his

hair grow out. Since growing out

his hair, Carlino has only been get-

ting better and was asked whether

the positive relationship had some-

thing to do with his turnaround.

“I have been playing better, somaybe,” Carlino joked.

Although he has a ways to go

before reaching his peak, Carlino

continues to work his way up and

watches film on other college and

NBA players rather than watching

himself. He said he has already

picked up a variety of things in a

conference full of great offensive

and defensive players.

As BYU continues to improve

its chances of making the NCAA

tournament with the last several

games, Carlino may be the key

to getting there alongside team-

mates Tyler Haws and Brandon

Davies. When Carlino gets going,

there’s nothing that can deter his

confidence. Haws knows Carlino

found his role on the team as an

effective and influential player

with his performances in confer-

ence games.“Matt’s a guy that can make

guys better,” Haws said. “When

he’s playing fast and pushing the

ball up the floor, he finds Bran-

don on the break, finds me on the

break. He makes guys better, and

I think t hat’s what he’s figured out

lately.”

SISTERS Athletes fresh offtheir mission


track translated to valuable les-

sons on their missions and in

their spirituality.

“I was so grateful that I had

that experience and that I hadthe mental discipline to keep

going when things were hard,”

Yingling said. “I think track gave

me the desire to work hard and

to fight for things that seemed

impossible.”

Athletics is more than about

pushing your body, it’s about

mental discipline, desire, hard

work and goal setting and so is

missionary work. All four of these

young women shared their

experiences with God strength-

ening them athletically.

“I think the lessons and the

impact that track had on me to

make me a hard worker and give

me perspective, and goals gave

me what I needed on the mission

to achieve what I needed to as a

missionary.” Whaley said.

After 18 months in a new loca-

tion, immersed in a different life-

style, they returned home from

their missions, an unforgettable

transition.

“The day after I got back I

went to see the coaches. I wasn’t

released yet so I still had to wear

my name tag.” Whaley said. “(My

dad and I) went and met with thecoaches and they said, ‘We are

ready to have you back.’”

Open arms from the coaching

staff were waiting for Yingling

and Thayer as well.

“Three days after I got home,

I called coach and he acted like

I had never left,” Yingling said.

“He said, ‘Come in when you

can and we will talk about your

training.’”

For Moffat, the experience

was a bit different. Try-outs for

the track and field team were to

take place within one month of

her arrival home from her mis-

sion. She prepared and trained,

and followed her impressions to

try out for the team.

“I really didn’t think I would

be able to get on,” Moffat said. “I

was praying so hard; I knew there

was a role in me being there.”

Now all four are immersed in

school and their training, com-

peting in indoor track and fieldand preparing for outdoor track

and field, and they haven’t for-

gotten what their missions have

done for them.

“I’ve been back for a few

months and I feel like I’m already

way better than I was before,”

Thayer said. “The potential I

have now is way better, and I’m

just more focused and dedicated.”

Patrick Kane: The Zamboni expertB y J O N U L A N D

From first dates to ward activ-

ities and family outings to club

hockey, it seems like someone

is always on the ice athte Seven

Peaks Ice Arena.

But while local patrons glide

playfully around the rink, a manworks hard behind the scenes to

maintain the quality of the ice.

He is a burly, lumberjack look-

ing fellow with a thick, fire-red

beard and a rainbow-colored

ski hat who knows the ice better

than anyone else in the building.

Meet Patrick Kane, the Zam-

boni driver at Seven Peaks Ice

Arena.

Kane, 27, grew up in Burling-

ton, Vt., where ice hockey was

more popular than other sports.

“If you didn’t go to a football

game, nobody noticed,” Kane

said. “But if you didn’t go to a

hockey game it was like, ‘Hey

man, how come you weren’t at

the game?’”

Although Kane never playedhockey, he described himself as

a “ruthless fan” of the sport in

high school. That love of hockey

landed him a job at his loca l ice

skating rink, where he learned

the basics of rink maintenance.

“Just being around at a

hockey rink, you learn about dif-

ferent programs and how the ice

should look,” Kane said.

Kane learned to drive a Zam-

boni when he moved to Utah.

Zamboni is a brand name ofan ice-resurfacing machine

invented by Frank Zamboni, a

Utah native, in 1949. The vehicle

has become essential to not only

the hockey game, but also to the

culture, and was mentioned in

Martin Zellar’s song, “I Wanna

Drive the Zamboni.”

Zambonis essentially pave

ice over ice arenas. The arenas

are built on concrete bases over

an intricate maze of cooling

pipes. The ice is generally an

inch to one-and-a-half inches

thick, applied in layers by the

Zamboni.

“It takes about 70 laps to get

about an inch of ice,” Kane said.

“It takes a lot of work.”

One “lap” is equal to anentire resurfacing session with

a Zamboni.

Each of the two rinks at Seven

Peaks Ice Arena is resurfaced

from the ground every other

year during the summer, and

the process can take severaldays. The more important ice

maintenance comes between

each skating sessions, when

Kane takes the Zamboni out for

a resurfacing lap to smooth over

the rough ice.

Prior to the invention ofthe Zamboni, ice had to be

resurfaced by hand and the

process often took about 24

hours.

The machine first cuts the

ice with a large razor blade.

Ice shavings are fed througha system of corkscrew augers

to the front container on the

Zamboni. A stream of water

then cleans t he newly shaved ice

to remove any impurities. This

water is collected and filtered

within the vehicle.

The part that spectators

see is the resurfacing water

steaming over the back edge of

the Zamboni, creating a clear

and smooth coat of ice for the

next round of skaters.Kane drives the Zamboni in

a specific pattern to make sure

he doesn’t miss a spot, and he

usually can resurface within

an inch of the boards, letting

the water flow to the edges of the

rink on its own.

At the end of each resurfacing

lap, Kane returns t he Zamboni

to the garage as patrons return

to the ice, carving new paths

over the freshly resurfaced rink.

Kane again works hard behind

the scenes emptying, cleaning

and refilling t he Zamboni for the

next round of resurfacing that

needs to be done.

“(Patrick) does it really well,”

coworker Nicki Santamaria

said of Kane’s resurfacingtechniques. “He takes his time

with it.”

Men’s tennis defeats UNLV, Denver

B y S P E N C E R W R I G H T

The BYU men’s tennis

remained unbeaten at home

after taking down UNLV and

Denver.

The Cougars are now 9–0

at home this season after

this weekend’s matches. The

Cougars defeated UNLV 5–1 on

Friday and then returned on

Saturday to beat No. 52 Denver

5–1.

The Cougars are on a four-

match winning streak and,

after defeating Denver, have

beaten four ranked opponents

this season.

“It was a great team win,”BYU coach Brad Pearce said.

The 5–1 victory over Denver

was anything but easy for the

Cougars. They were just able to

snag the doubles point and then

were taken to three sets in allbut one match in singles play.

BYU started well with the

doubles team of junior Patrick

Kawka and sophomore Francis

Sargeant defeating Denver’s top

tandem 8–5. However, Denver

came back with a win from

Henry Craig and Jens Vorkefeld

on Court 2.

With the point on the

line, BYU’s

s o p h o m o r e

K e a t o n

C u l l i m o r e

and freshman

John Pearce

fought back

from an

early deficit

to win theirmatch and

the crucial

doubles point

against the

Pioneers’ Alex

Clinkenbeard

and Fabio

Biasion.

“I think

that win was

huge,” John

Pearce said.

“Going into

the singles

now knowing we only had to

win three matches was a great

way to start.”

The Cougars were able to

take control of the match in

singles play. On Court 2, senior

Spencer Smith was the first

Cougar to grab a point with his

victory over Vorkefeld 6–4, 7–6.

No. 74 Kawka followed suit

with his victory over Denver’s

Enej Bonin, who is ranked No.

47 in the country, 6–7, 6–1, 6–0.

It appeared Bonin injured his

hamstring at the beginning of

the second set. He was treated

by the trainer at the beginning

of the third set but was not able

to recover.

With a 3–0 lead, Sargeant

gave the Cougars the vital

fourth point with his win

over Max Krammer in a hotlycontested match.

“I got off to a quick start,”

Sargeant said. “In the third set

it was back and forth when I

finally started to find my range

and managed to close it out. It

was a fun match t o play.”

Sargeant won the first match

handily 6–3 but then lost the

second set 4–6. He came back

strong in the third set to defeat

Krammer 6–2.

Craig picked up Denver’s

only point with his 6–3, 2–6, 7–6

win over Cullimore.

John Pearce won his match

after Biasion retired because

of an injury, and freshman

Andrey Goryachkov didn’t

finish his match because thematch had already been decided

in the Cougars’ favor.

On Friday, the Cougars

defeated UNLV handily 5–0 and

only dropped one set the entire

evening.

“I’m surprised we took care

of UNLV like we did,” Coach

Pearce said. “I’m gaining a lot of

confidence in our team. I think

we’re pretty

good.”

T h e

Cougars won

the doubles

point with

two victories,

and the third

match was

called once thepoint had been

decided in

the Cougars’

favor.

In singles

play, BYU

d e f e a t e d

UNLV in

s t r a i g h t

sets in three

matches with

only Smith

and UNLV’s

Tamas Batyi

going a full three sets. Smith

still came away with the win

though, 6–3, 4–6, 7–5.

John Pearce and Goryachkov

won the first set in their

matches before they were called

because the matches had again

already been decided in BYU’s

favor.

BYU will play rival Utah

on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at the

Indoor Tennis Courts.

BYU women’s tennis remains undefeated

B y S P E N C E R W R I G H T

The BYU women’s tennis

team remains undefeated

after knocking off regional

rival Boise State 6–1 in a

match lasting over five hours

Saturday afternoon at the

indoor tennis courts in Provo.

The BYU Cougars are theonly undefeated team from the

West Coast Conference with a

4–0 mark. The game was the

first loss of the season for Boise

State, which now sits at 4 –1.

“We always play really well

on our home courts,” BYU

coach Lauren Jones-Spencer

said. “Our team is really good

this year. They stayed tough

and pulled off the win.”

The match was much closer

than the 6–1 scoreline would

indicate though.

BYU picked up the doubles

point for the fourth straight

match. The Cougars have now

won 11 of 12 doubles matches

this season.

After a grueling two-and-

a-half-hour match last week,

BYU junior Desiree Tran was

the first to finish with a 7–5,

6–4 victory over the Broncos’

Marlena Pietzuch. The win

took the Cougars’ lead to 2–0

and put Tran at 4–0 on the

season.

At the No. 1 position,Boise State’s Sandy Vo from

Australia took Cougar

sophomore Morgan Anderson

to three sets before notching

the Broncos’ one and only point

with a 4–6, 6–0, 6–3 win.

The next two matches to

finish also went to three

sets before being decided

in the Cougars’ favor. BYU

sophomore Meghan Sheehan-

Dizon also won her fourth

consecutive match of the

season with a 4–6, 6–1, 6–2

victory over Teal Vosburgh.

“The first set she came out

taking control of the points and

I was being hesitant,” Sheehan-

Dizon said. “The next two sets

I believed in myself, played

smart, played how I play, and

I was able to come away with

the win.”

Freshman Nicolette Tran

picked up the fourth and

decisive point for the Cougarsin another three-set match

against Morgan Basil. After

dropping the first set 3–6, Tran

came back to win the next two

sets 6–1, 6–3.

BYU senior Aubrey Paul

finished off the scoring for

the Cougars with her 7–6,

6–3 victory over Boise State’s

Sammie Watson. Freshman

Mackenna Maddox was

winning her match against

the Broncos Megan LaLone

when a it was called because

the overall match had already

been decided and the BYU

men’s tennis team was about

to begin its match against

Denver.

The Cougars are now 4–0 forthe first time since 2006 and

will travel to Las Vegas this

week for a double-header. They

play UNLV on Friday and Iowa

State on Saturday.

‘The Suffering of Light’

B y S T E P H A N I E O R A N

Poverty, political uncertainty and

stressful life events can distract and

prevent artists from seeing the hid-

den story in front of them. However,

this doesn’t seem to be a problem for

acclaimed photographer Alex Webb.

Webb is a recognized pioneer ofAmerican color photography whose

images are well known for their intense

color and light.

As part of its “First Fridays at the

MOA” event, the BYU Museum of Art

highlighted Webb’s fascinating thirty-

year career in its latest photography

exhibit, “Alex Webb — The Suffering

of Light: Thirty Years of Photographs.”

The exhibit showcases Webb’s talent

behind the camera th rough forty-five

large print photographs now on display

at the museum. The traveling exhibi-

tion is organized by Aperture Founda-

tion in New York City and will be on

display until May 4, 2013.

Carolyn Haynie, public relations spe-

cialist at the MOA, explained that the

photographs in this particular exhibit

focus on the life and culture of develop-

ing countries.

“The exhibit focuses on a lot of cul-

tures that are on the periphery of West-

ern civilization,” Haynie said. “You

have Turkey and Mexican-border cul-

tures, Haiti and other countries around

the world.”

Regarding Webb’s artwork style,

Haynie described the aspects she found

the most intriguing.

“I think the most beautiful aspect is

his use of color and his ability to capture

emotion — the emotion of capturing

everyday life,” Haynie said. “Human

emotions are universal. Things such asshopping down the street, death, being

happy and being in love are universal

and bonding.”

Regarding the human emotions

Webb’s photographs capture, Haynie

explained that through them one can

feel a bond. Visitors can relate to them

because everybody is human.

Diana Turnbow, curator of photog-

raphy for the museum, also described

what she found unique about Webb’s

work.

“I am struck by Webb’s ability to

give himself to the moment of the pho-

tograph,” Turnbow said. “It’s the lyri-

cism found in the color of the setting or

the gesture of his subjects that deeply

imprints upon the viewer and poten-

tially creates a connection that can lead

to further inquiry, empathy and a mea-

sure of understanding of a particular

place or people.”

THE UNIVERSE CALENDAR FEBRUARY 19 – 25

B y S T A C I A W A H L G R E N

Breakfast gets skipped, lunch is

on the run, and dinner consists of

pantry items thrown together last

minute.

Every student faces the difficulty

of a busy schedule coupled with the

challenge of eating right, but mar-

ried students learn how challeng-

ing it can be to eat together. Success

then varies, depending on the situ-

ation and the couple.

Annie Bruner, a newlywed

majoring in nursing, said she tries

to meet up with her husband for

lunch but it doesn’t always happen.

“It does make a difference eatingtogether,” Bruner said. “I think it’s

important to make the effort.”

While many married students

make the effort to eat together,

school, work and homework can

put dinner on the back burner.

Kortney Chamberlain, an exer-

cise science major from Oregon,

said she gets sad when she is unable

to eat with her husband.

“We have those routines that we

like to set up because we want to

be together,” Chamberlain said.

“I think there is a reason in theChurch why they say family din-

ners are so important.”

Chamberlain said she tries to

plan meals that will have enough

for leftovers.

“We try to make as many din-

ners as we can, but it’s hard to keep

it going,” Chamberlain said. “If we

made dinner, we have lunch the

next day. If not, we go out.”

Incorporating healthy food into

two people’s schedules can be a

daunting task, but Chamberlain

said she believes health starts at

the grocery store.

“If you buy the food that is actu-

ally good for you and healthy for

you, you’ll make healthy meals,”

Chamberlain said. “If you buy

snacks, you are going to eatsnacks.”

Lora Brown, associate professor

in the Department of Nutrition,

Dietetics and Food Science, said

married students simply need to

plan ahead.

“Eating healthy actually

requires planning,” Brown said.

“Healthy meals just don’t fall out of

the sky like manna. It’s basic stuff,

but somebody needs to do it.”

See EATING on Page 15

Custom rings becomingan increasing trend

B y B R I T T A N Y C A R L I L E

Date, find a ring, get engaged, get married and live happily

ever after. These tasks often appear to be a simple to-do list,

but what many people don’t take into account is the actual

effort, time and skill that goes into each ring.

Picking out a ring can be a hard task with so many elements

to consider: diamond cut, type of metal, gem size, stone set-

ting, and the list goes on. When someone isn’t satisfied with

options provided at jewelry retailers, there is an option tocustom design the ideal ring.

Gold-smithing is an intensive trade that has been around

for centuries. However, the art has recently evolved with

advances in technology, making custom jewelry a reason-

able option for more people.

Former BYU student Jenni Whitlock decided to go with this

approach when it came time to picking out a ring.

“I saw things that I real ly loved in the stores, but none of them

were perfect,” Whitlock said. “For me, my ring needed to be

just as functional as it was beautiful. I was set on having a euro-

s h a n k ,

which is

not very

common

here, so

my hus-

band and I

decided to

have a ring

c u s t o md e s i g n e d

t h a t

i n c l u d e d

all of the

ideal func-

tions and

design ele-

ments that

I wanted.”

When it

came down

to it, Chase

G r e e n

d e c i d e d

to custom

design a

ring to sur-

prise to his wife.

“I thought there was something more

sentimental about it,” Green said. “It

seemed more personal, and plus, I would have li fetime brag-

ging rights to the fact that I designed it. Also, my wife is a

romantic, so I knew she would love the idea that I designed

it with her in mind.”

Kevin Reid has been in the goldsmith industry for more

than 32 years and has been impressed with the advances the

industry has made, especially with incorporating the latest

technology.

“I started the t rade before my mission, mainly focusing on

minor jewelry repairs,” Reid said. “When I returned home

from my mission, I picked up the art again and used it as a

means to put myself through school. Then I ended up making

a career out of it .”Goldsmiths need to be detail-oriented on various levels to

balance different aspects of the design process.

“It’s a long and tedious process from start to finish,” Reid

said. “In general there are two types of customers. Sometimes

I will get someone with a picture of a ring they like from a jew-

elry store, magazine or Pinterest. Sometimes they want minor

changes like a different metal or an alternate stone. I can cre-

ate something similar, but I don’t like to copy rings because

designers spend a lot of time on them and I respect that.”

The second type of customers that approach Reid are those

who know

what they

don’t like

and try to

c r e a t e

something

from there.

“ T h e s e

are usually

the girlsthat come

to me say-

ing, ‘I want

something

different,’”

Reid said.

“It is then

that we

start gener-

ating lists

of likes

and dis-

likes and

then start

drawing.

Restaurant reviews weighin on dining choices

B y S T A C I A W A H L G R E N

Walking into a restaurant

for the first time brings a

variety of smells, emotions and

tastes. Almost immediately,

regret settles in as the thought

races like a broken record; “Ishould have checked reviews

first.”

The cafe was trashy, the food

was gross and the servic e was

awful.

Some students avoid this

situation by looking up

reviews of restaurants; others

take their chances.

Yelp, Urbanspoon, Google

and FourSquare have given

students an opportunity to

check out diners and bistros

without actually going in.

Despite the technology, some

students do not use reviews,

while others won’t go to a

restaurant without looking it

up first.

Lucy Barney, a sophomorefrom Arizona, said the reason

she doesn’t use restaurant

reviews is because she believes

the food is coming from a

professional.

“If it’s a built restaurant, if

it’s established, it’s got to be

at least semi-decent,” Barney

said.

Students rate professors,

products, movies and services,

but some students do not

review food because of how

quick the experience at a

restaurant is.

Harry Williamson, an

international relations major

from Highland, said he doesn’t

review food because he doesn’t

have to deal with the productfor a long time.

“I will have a CD for a long

time; but food, you eat it and

even if it wasn’t that good,

it’s out in a couple of days,”

Williamson said.

Circumstance can often

dictate whether people choose

to look up the restaurant

before they go.

Jordan Oldroyd, a

mechanical engineering

major, said he only uses

restaurant reviews for when

he is out of town. Even then,

Oldroyd said he uses Google

as a way to locate a restaurant.

“I use Google Maps to find

restaurants when I’m out of

town, and if there are reviews,I’ll check them out,” Oldroyd

said. “If I’m not out of town, I

never use reviews.”

While some students do not

use reviews, others find it

extremely helpful.

Alex Theobald, a phi losophy

major from California, said he

uses restaurant reviews to find

restaurants that both he, and

hopefully his date, have never

been to before.

“It puts us both in an

environment where it is a new

experience,” Theobald said.

Theobald said that one of

the reasons he likes taking his

dates to new places is because

he is in search of a hole-in-the-

wall restaurant.“They have better food, and

I like to see if they have a little

bit of style,” he said.

Theobald said he recognizes

that the people who review

restaurants are biased,

and he uses this knowledge

to evaluate whether the

restaurant is a hit.

“They are either really good,

or really bad, so I just take that

with a grain of salt,” Theobald

said.

Katie King, an elementary

education major from Logan,

said she doesn’t use onlineor print reviewers, but she

considers word-of-mouth a

review. Although word-of-

mouth isn’t published, she

said she considers it just as

important, if not more so.

“If people at work tell

me about a restaurant, I’ll

go,” King said. “One of my

co-workers recommended a

Japanese restaurant, and I

loved it.”

Aubin Dubois, a psychology

major from Sandy, said the

reason she uses restaurant

reviews is to avoid bad

restaurants.

“I’m afraid to step out of my

comfort zone; I’m afraid of bad

experiences,” Dubois said.She said the way to find good

restaurants is to figure out

what other people think.

“If someone gives a bad

review, I won’t go there,”

Dubois said. “I went to this

Thai restaurant in California

after looking up a review, and

I definitely didn’t regret that

decision.”

Product placement in movies From National

Geographicto Apple

B y Z H A N N A M O L D A G U L O V A

Many ‘90s kids remember

the scene in the beginning

of “Home Alone” where

the McCallister family sits

around the table having

dinner. “Fuller, go easy on the

Pepsi,” Kevin’s aunt says to her

son knowing about Fuller’s

persistent problem of wetting

the bed. But this phrase is

much more than just a warning

against drinking too much

soda.

Product placement is a form

of advertising that is used in

movies and TV shows where

branded products are placed

in a movie setting. It usually

aims to be inconspicuous and

be part of the scene so th at theaudience will see a product

in the natural environment.

Product placement can add

credibility to a movie. It is

easier to identify with a story

or with movie characters when

they use products familiar to

everyday life. It is also another

venue for advertisers to show

their product without being

obtrusive.

Apple Inc. is an example

of a company that mastered

that skill. According to

Brandchannel.com, a Webby-

award-winning website about

branding, in 2011 Apple had

its products in more than 40

percent of the top films, among

which are “Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol” and “The

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Part 1.” In fact, one of Apple’s

biggest marketing secrets is

free product placement. The

company whose products can

be seen in so many movies

doesn’t pay a penny for the

brand placement. According

to InvestorPlace, a website that

provides information about

the stock market, in “Mi ssion

Impossible: Ghost Protocol”

Apple received more than

$23 million in free product

placement by providingcomputers, phones and other

devices to the movie.

The technique pays;

while not everyone can

afford a shiny yellow Chevy

Camaro like Bumblebee from

“Transformers,” technical

devices are in general more

affordable.

“I don’t have money

for a car,” said Tarandita

Subiantoro, a BYU student

from Indonesia. “But things

like phones and computers in

the movies definitely influence

my taste, the way I choose

products.”

It started a long time ago

and was present even in silent

movies. Silent movie “Wings”(1927) had Hershey’s chocolate

in it, and famous Christmas

movie “It’s A Wonderful Life”

(1946) shows a young boy

dreaming to be an explorer

with a prominent copy of

National Geographic in his

hands.

Many people are not aware

that product placement

happens, and that is exactly

what advertisers want — to

influence consumers’ choices

without consumers ever

noticing.

Neuroscience major AndrewRay knows about product

placement because of the

marketing classes he takes.

“I think product placement

is an innovative way to

advertise a product,” Ray

said. “When you show the

usefulness of your product by

showing how it makes other

people’s lives easier, you’ve

created an advertisement

that is invaluable.” Douglas

McKinlay, an advertising

professor at BYU, sees product

placement as a necessary

monetary help for a film

industry.

“We have all come to

accept product placement as

a legitimate way to help fundthe movie,” McKinlay said.

“(Product placement can be)

good if the product is written

into the script so that it looks

like part of the landscape.”

Fashion ‘don’ts’ that are actually ‘dos’

The styles today suggest that it isOK to break fashion rules — if you

have the intuition to do it correctly

B y A N D R E A H U D S O N

Recent trends have rewrit-

ten some basic rules of fashion.

Styles that were once known as

fashion faux pas are now widely

accepted in the fashion world.

Some students break these

rules, while others may still be

opposed to this form of rebellion.

So what exactly are the rules

to be broken? Current stylists

are wearing horizontal stripes,

white after Labor Day andblack with brown.

Samantha Jameson, a

sophomore studying art

history, is all for breaking

these rules.

“Wearing black and brown

together is fine,” Jameson

said. “You just have to do it the

right way. You just have to be

intuitive. You have to know

when it looks good and when it

doesn’t.”

Even at stores these new

styles are prominent. Many

students shop at Forever 21 in

the University Mall in Orem.

Assistant store manager Lacey

Ramirez explained how people

are adapting to the new-found

freedoms in fashion.“Forever 21 is very much a

young person’s store,” Ramirez

said. “It says it in the na me, so

we see people come in all the

time who are breaking all sorts

of fashion rules, but that is just

the style.”

Stores targeted toward this

younger audience seem to keep

up a fast pace. Young, trendy

shoppers head for the dressing

rooms with armfuls of clothes

that used to be considered

fashion don’ts.

Students across Utah val ley

are more willing to embrace

new, adventurous styles. The

more original, the better. But

with originality still comes a

limit.

Kiefer Hickman, a junior

studying economics, has some

style don’ts of his own.

“Definitely don’t mix

stripes,” Hickman said. “You

don’t want to mix horizontal

stripes on one article of

clothing with vertical on

another because then it just

looks weird.”

Fashion aside, certain

combinations don’t make

sense to any fashionista. For

instance, Hickman said that

tacky is never OK in fashion.

“I had a pair of jeans that

I put my phone in my pocket

everyday, and it began to wear

through and it looks tacky,”

Hickman said. “Try to avoid

the cell phone patch.”

“They have better

food, and I like to see ifthey have a little bit of

style. They are either

really good, or really

bad, so I just take that

with a grain of salt.”

I think productplacement is an

innovative way to

advertise a product.”

LIGHTS Exhibit shows off

color and light


The exhibit has a comple-

mentary book, “Alex Webb:

The Suffering of Light,”

in which,

along with

his photo-

graphs, Webb

describes his

e x p e r i e n c e

behind the

camera.

“To me it

all is pho-

t o g r a p h y , ”

Webb said.

“You have to

go out and

explore theworld with a camera.”

The exhibit originally

opened on Dec. 14, but the

MOA’s education depa rtment

decided to feature the exhibit

for its first “First Fridays at

the MOA” event of the year.

For those not aware of “First

Fridays,” it is a monthly event

series that integrates MOA

art exhibitions with dance

or live music to enhance

visitors’ experience at the

museum.At this “Firs t Friday,” visi-

tors had the chance to wan-

der around the museum andvisit the “Suffering of Light”

exhibit while listening to

C a r i b b e a n -

style music

p r o v i d e d

by Utah’s

Drum Lab

Steel Band.

V i s i t o r s

also enjoyed

C a r i b b e a n -

ments.

J e s s i c a

Leblow, a

biology edu-cation major from Kansas,

went to the exhibition on

“First Fridays” and offered a

commentary on the photogra-

phy at the exhibit.

“The photography is great;

it has an interesting social

commentary,” Leblow said.

“The photographs have a nice

use of color. (Webb) is a good

street photographer.”

For those interested in

Webb and his artwork, he will

be giving a lecture co-hostedby the MOA and David M.

EATING Healthy meals get put on theback-burner


Depending on the major and

graduation plan, some students

find it easier to eat together

because of how they built their

schedules.

Linny Allsop, an English

major from Arizona, said she

specifically planned her classes

so she could eat lunch with her

husband.

“We both have a class that

gets out at noon, so we just come

over and eat together,” Allsop

said.

Sometimes it can be tempting

to buy really healthy food, butAllsop said she learned from

experience that even though

eating healthy is important, it

doesn’t do any good if you won’t

eat what you buy.

“Stock up on what you eat,”

Allsop said. “I bought some

yogurt that was on sale, and

it sat in the fridge for two

months.”

In terms of what to buy and

where to buy it, students have

endless options. Clark Allsop,

Linny Allsop’s husband, said

even though it’s sometimes

hard financially, he likes to buyin bulk rather than buying only

what his family needs.

“We get necessities at Costco

and conveniences at Smith’s,”

Clark Allsop said.

RINGSUnique rings in demand forengagement rings


Not only do they need to cre-

ate a ring that the customer is

pleased with, but goldsmiths also

have to take into consideration

the actual cost to produce the

ring.

“You wouldn’t think so, but

cost plays a huge role in the

design process,” Reid said. “I

can create any girl’s dream ring,

but it will just cost them 10 to 15

thousand dollars. There have

been times when the client and

I have almost finalized a design

and they realize that it is far outof their budget. When that hap-

pens we have to start over again

from scratch.”

Over the past few years, the

techniques of the trade have

changed from filing and making

wax molds into a more advanced

technique that relies on a certain

level of technological ability and

skill.

“I decided that I have reached

that point where I need to put

my tools down and pick up the

modern tricks of t he trade,” Reid

said. “Of course there are some

projects that require techniquesthat can only be accomplished

with tedious handwork, but in

general, it’s important to stay

up with technology and not get

left behind.”

‘These boots were made for walking’

B y A N D R E A H U D S O N

Ditch the Chucks and strap

on the boots. These boots are no

longer just for trucking around

in the mud.

Boots that were once used

purely for functionality at work

are now considered a fashion

must for men’s footwear.

Not everyone is converted,

and the boot fad still has some

skeptics. However, for many

others, boots are an everyday

accessory.

Houston Tanner, a senior

majoring in microbiology, is an

example of a boot skeptic.

“I think there’s a couple of

reasons to wear boots,” Tanner

said. “First off, you got cowboy

figure boots … and the other

boots are for girls.”

Like many others, Tanner

sticks with sneakers as his

everyday shoe choice. He may

feel that boots are only for cow-

boys working on the farm, but

other men disagree with this

opinion.Kev Nemelka, a senior major-

ing in art history and curato-

rial studies, explained his

personal style.

“If I’m wearing boots, I try

to go Goth or forester/Cabe-

las style, depending on what

I’m wearing,” Nemelka said. “I

don’t like tucking my jeans into

my boots. I usually just peg or

cuff. Dr. Marten boots are my

favorites — they’re the most

utilitarian, and everyone can

pull them off.”

As fashionably acceptable as

these boots may be, they aren’t

the most comfortable to wear.

Some complain that they suffer

for their fashion.

“I also always keep a pairof Birkenstocks in my library

locker so I don’t have to clod

around in boots all day,”

Nemelka said. “It’s rather

obnoxious.”

Nicholas Rust works at the

Macy’s men’s shoe department

in the Provo University Mall

and sees countless numbers of

men purchasing boots.

As far as style goes, Rust

explained that a popular brand

is currently Steve Madden. The

brand offers very trendy lookswith a European inspiration.

Men are becoming more and

more concerned about the style

of their boot.

Danny Gessel, a junior

majoring in physiology and

developmental biology, is an

avid boot wearer.

“There’s a feeling that

accompanies boot wearing,”

Gessel said. “It’s a feeling of

class — yet rugged at the same

time. Boots can be very versa-

tile. I’ll wear them to nice occa-sions and to hike in the woods.

I think the trend of boot wear-

ing is spreading quickly across

campus, and I kind of like it

because men just plain look

good in boots.”

ability to give himself

Weekly five:Black History

Month A look at African-

Americans who have helped progress civil rights in the U.S.

B y G L E N N R O W L E Y

Every February, Black History Month gives

people all over the country the chance to remem-

ber the contributions of African-Americans to the

history of all aspects of the nation — from civil

rights and politics to music, culture and science.

While many people may first associate Dr. Martin

Luther King Jr. with Black History Month, here’s

a look at five other African-Americans who made

significant contributions to civil rights in the U.S.

1. Rosa ParksParks’ decision

in 1955 to refuse

giving up her

seat on a bus to a

white passenger

is often credited

with sparking

the beginning of

the Civil Rights

Movement.

McKay Lind-

say, a member

of BYU’s Divine

Comedy troupe,

sees Parks as an

inspiration not

only to blacks, but to women as well.

“What Rosa Parks did, no matter how menial

it seemed, meant so much to blacks, as well as

women,” Lindsay said. “She’s a hero, and shehas given the rest of us strength and courage as

women.”

2. B.B. KingThe blues musician, widely considered one of

the best guitarists of all time, put such an indel-

ible mark on the modern music that his influ-

ence is still felt even today.

Local musician Mimi Knowles looks to King’s

work regularly for inspiration as a songwriter.

“His style is just electric,” Knowles said.

“Some of my best guitar work can come when

I’m listening to B.B. Ki ng.”

3. George Washington Carver

Born into slavery in 1864, Carver grew up

to become a renowned scientist, botanist and

inventor. His research and work with crop

alternatives to cotton including peanuts, soy-

beans and sweet potatoes led to many scientificdevelopments, including the manufacturing of

peanut butter in America and the practice of

crop rotation.

4. Muhammed AliOriginally born Cassius Clay, the legendary

boxer rose to prominence in the 1960s, eventu-

ally becoming the fi rst and only lineal World

Heavyweight Champion. He is considered one

of the greatest boxers of all time by historians

around the world.

Brent Kamba, vice president of activities for

BYU’s Black Student Union, said he admires

Ali’s strength of character as much as his ath-

letic prowess.

“He was an incredible boxer, and he always

stood up for himself and proved a lot of people

wrong,” said Kamba. “Even though he was a lit-

tle on the extreme side in some of his personal

beliefs, he was always behind the Civil RightsMovement.”

5. Barack ObamaThe nation’s current leader just began his

second term as president and represents the

Civil Rights Movement coming ful l circle into

the 21st century.

Kamba said that, regardless of political ideol-

ogy, Obama’s journey to the White House serves

as motivation for young African Americans

everywhere.

“The idea of going from slavery to having a

two-term black president is pretty incredible,

regardless of whether you like him or not,”

said Kamba. “He really represents that ideal to

black people everywhere, that if you work ha rd

enough you can accomplish anything.”

Cougar Questions If you could relive any moment in

history, what would it be?

“I would like to be there when the Berlin

Wall fell down.”

Morgan ReeseBattleground, Wash.

“I would go see the abolition of slavery

in England.”

Taylor EdwardsKaysville

“I would relive 1969 when man landed on

the moon. I think that would be cool to

experience firsthand.”

Connor DeanRochester, Mich.

“I would go back to the Trojan horse. I

would love to be in it and jump out of it.”

Ashley MillerDraper

“I would love to go back to like the

regency period with Jane Austen, or Old

Hollywood, so like ‘40s.”

Bronte Campbell

Provo

“I would want to be there when Christ

came to the Americas.”

Jen Joslin

Reno, Nev.

”What Rosa Parks

did, no matter how

menial it seemed,

meant so much

to blacks, as well

as women.”
