Cats On Campus!

No, the famous Broadway musical is not coming to 1840 South 1300 East, we have a

cat problem! Cats have long been a part of campus life, Karen Hendry, senior

administrative assistant to the dean and veterans’ coordinator said, “In my 24 years of

working at Westminster College there have been at least 40 stray cats that we have come

across and at least 28 before the year 1985.”

These stray cats can hide under the buildings for warmth in the winter and end up

staying through the spring to produce more cats. A recent study has shown that there are

few if any cats on the U of U or BYU campuses, although BYU does have a cougar

wandering around over there. These cats come to Westminster because of the excellent

aviation program and the small class sizes. No one knows exactly why they come, but it

is believed that for the most part their moms drop them off or they take the UTA bus and

some are left over from the last time it rained cats and dogs.

In a sort of cat and mouse game, students and staff try to capture these stray cats

to get them neutered and give them shots before they have more kittens and thus add to

our class size as well as our parking and on-campus housing problems. Neutering and

spaying a cat is critical for many reasons. It prevents unwanted litters and eliminates

sexual frustration, something that should be eradicated from all college campuses. A cat

goes into a week of heat three times a year. During that time a cat can cry continuously,

display nervous behavior, and approach other male cats wanting more then just a walk on

the beach. Repeated heats without mating can cause health problems for these stray cats.

Polluted Air makes itself comfortable in Salt Lake

There have been a number of articles, and a lot of talk recently about the

increasing Smog levels in SLC. OK, even if you haven’t read about it or talked about it,

you can actually see it, in fact you can almost get your teeth into it on some days. So just

how bad is smog? Has it gotten a bad rap? Is it all smog and no fire? And what exactly

does it do to your lungs? According to The Lung Association, when you breathe in

polluted air, the toxins begin breaking down cellular structures in your lungs and

throughout your respiratory system resulting in chronic respiratory distress. In other

words, hold your breath while walking to class.

The term ‘Smog’ barely beat out the word ‘Foke’ as the word for the

combination of smoke and fog. Smog is could also be an acronym for Sweet Mother of

God, Secret Masters of Gaming, Spanish Motorcycle Owners Group, and Save Me Oh

God. Although these are all interesting acronyms, when we use the term SMOG we will

mainly be referring to the combination of smoke and fog.

When it comes to smog, Salt Lake doesn’t have to worry about much; in fact they

are not even in the top 10 of most polluted cities in the country. LA, the Smog Capital of

America, takes the number one spot and in fact four out of the Top 5 spots in 2008 were

garnered by California. A recent Tribune article stated, “On Sunday, parts of northern

Utah and southern Idaho were ranked No. 1 in the country for unhealthy air. It was a

"red" air-quality day for five Utah counties.” After LA had heard about this, they became

jealous that they were not the only ones that could sink their teeth into some real Smog.

Why darts? I can think of three good reasons!

First, it's played in bar. Have you ever played hockey or baseball in a bar? How

about soccer? Ever try kicking a field goal in a bar? Because of the venue it's one of the

only sports where you can, no in fact you are almost required to, drink beer while

playing. You say you've drunk beer while playing golf. Sure, but because hitting a golf

ball requires both hands, you can't actually hold, much less drink a beer, while hitting the

ball. With darts, you can hold the beer in one hand and throw the dart with the other; in

fact you can actually be drinking the beer when you're throwing the dart. I've tried this

and while it doesn't really help your score much, you CAN do it!

Secondly, it's an equal opportunity sport. You could ask a girl out on a date to go

play darts together. I don't recommend this as a 'first date' option, but because it's a sport

that doesn't require major muscle development, the playing field, or in this case the 'dart

arena' is level. You'd never ask a girl out by saying, "Hey let's go into the weight room

and see who can Clean & Jerk the most." I think we know who the Jerk is in that

scenario. So at least wait for the second date.

And finally, it's a sport where you actually get to throw lethal weapons. It's not as

great as shooting clay pigeons or anything like that, but who needs protection out at

a shooting range? You need protection in a bar, and darts is the only sport, other than

javelin throwing (and don't try that in a bar either) where you practice throwing very

sharp objects. So when the time comes to stick a dart in the forehead of that foul-

mouthed biker coming at you, you're ready!
