A split Congress
Whats ahead for
President Obama
with a split Congress?
B y K A T E H O L L I S
President Barack Obama has won
another four years in the Oval Ofce,
resulting in a government not much dif-
ferent from last term and turning Amer-
icans attention to the topic of possible
congressional gridlock.
The question many have asked
is: Will a Democratic victory mean
another four years of congressional
gridlock until a more conservative
candidate could be offered up, or
would Republicans begin to concede
to the American vote? Two dominat-
ing theories prevail in response to
this question.
Bloomberg.com discussed an inter-
view that Associated Press reporter Ben
Feller conducted with Barack Obama
before the election.
If Obama wins re-election, Feller
said, Republicans are still likely to
have a majority in the House, the
report stated. How is that any different
from what we have now? Why wouldnt a
voter look at that and say thats a recipe
for stalemate? How would you do any-
thing differently?
President Obamas response is that
the Republican Party would experience
a shift toward more cooperation.
Well, there are a couple things
that I think would change. No. 1, the
American people will have voted. They
will have cast a decisive view on how
we should move the country forward,
and I would hope that the Republican
Party, after a fulsome debate, would say
to itself, we need to listen to the Ameri-
can people, Obama said.
Ramesh Ponnuru is the senior editor
for the National Review and author of
the article If You Think Obamas First
Term Was Bad, Imagine A Second. Pon-
nuru disagrees with President Obamas
sentiments and believes Republicans
will refuse to view his victory as a
collective statement of support for his
policies.
No way would they see this set of
election results as a decisive state-
ment of support for Obamas views,
Punnuru said. Republicans, espe-
cially at the grassroots level, (will)
react to Obamas re-election by assum-
ing that Romney failed because he was
too moderate.

Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah
Obama wins four more years
Associated Press
President Obama, joined by his family, waves to supporters after giving his acceptance speech in Chicago Tuesday night. He told his daughters a second term would not mean a second dog.
Acceptance and concession
speeches follow a contentious race
B y R O B B I E J E N K I N S
Barack Obama secured a second
term as President of the United States
after beating out Mitt Romney in the
Nov. 6 election.
Romney led in many polls in the
weeks preceding the election, and
even during the election with a buf-
fer of several million votes. However,
Obama easily took the majority of elec-
toral votes.
The news of his re-election came ear-
lier than expected, as Obama jumped
ahead in electoral votes with the addi-
tion of votes from California, Oregon
and Washington.
Given the close race in swing states
such as Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colo-
rado and Nevada, many news organiza-
tions anticipated a closer race, and as a
result, a longer election night.
However, by 9:30 p.m. Utah time,
these same news organizations, includ-
ing CNN, Fox News and MSNBC,
called the election, naming Obama as
the president for the next four years.
Romney was the rst to give a speech
after receiving the news of the election.
In his concession speech, which he
gave at his election headquarters in
Boston, Romney thanked his volun-
teers, family and running mate Paul
Ryan and claimed that he and his cam-
paign team gave their all and left all of
their efforts on the eld.
I believe in the people of America,
Romney said. I ran for ofce because
I am concerned about America. This
election is over but our principles
endure. I believe that the principles
upon which this nation was founded
are the only sure guide to a resurgent
economy and a new greatness.
Following Romneys speech in Boston,
Obama gave his speech in Chicago to a
euphoric crowd that greeted him with
Stevie Wonders Signed, Sealed, Deliv-
ered and chants of Four more years.
Today, more than 200 years after
a former colony won the right to
determine its own destiny, the task
of perfecting our union moves for-
ward, Obama said. It moves for-
ward because of you. It moves forward
because you reafrmed the spirit that
has triumphed over war, depression,
the spirit that has lifted this country
from the pits of despair to the great
heights of hope.
We rise and fall together as one
people, he added, addressing a nation
almost equally divided between Rom-
ney and himself in the popular vote.
I want to thank every American
who participated in this election, he
continued, thanking his happy war-
rior Joe Biden, his wife, Michelle,
and every volunteer who made calls,
attended rallies, knocked doors and
held signs, whether for Romney or for
himself.
Obama concluded by emphasizing
an America moving forward together
and the role of American citizens who
are willing to put forth effort.
The role of a citizen in a democracy
does not end with your vote, he said.

Elizabeth Smart awarded
with Legacy of Hope
Ten years have now passed since Elizabeth
Smart was kidnapped from her bedroom and held
hostage for months.
I remember that morning, thinking of how
much my life had changed, and wondering if I
would ever get it back, she said at an award gala

The mission call and housing contract dilemma
Missionary age
announcement
is affecting off-
campus housing
B y C R Y S T A L M Y L E R
A new generation of prospec-
tive missionaries are standing
with their call in one hand and
a housing contract in the other,
and landlords are caught in the
middle.
Rules for selling a contract
differ between on- and off-
campus housing. Students
on campus do not need to
sell their contracts to leave
on a mission. For off-campus
housing, the rules are differ-
ent, said Julie Franklin, direc-
tor of residence life at BYU.
The off- campus housing
student/landlord agreements
have no provision for students
to be released from their con-
tracts for missions, Franklin
said. Typically the student is
responsible to coordinate with
the landlord and attempt to
find someone to take over the
contract.
Some housing managers
saw an immediate reaction to
the announcement. University
Villa manager Jody Collings
reported that 30 girls put con-
tracts up for sale between Mon-
day, Oct. 8 and Wednesday,
Oct. 10. In those three days,
the number of contracts usu-
ally posted at this time of year
doubled.
Riviera manager Jesse Bun-
ton said he saw a 30 percent
rise in contract listings at his
complex.
Other complexes did not
show significant numbers, but
the percentage of contracts on
sale now as compared to past
years has skyrocketed. Kris-
tie Kitto, assistant manager
of Crestwood Condominiums,
said five girls put contracts up
for sale in a week. Such a num-
ber is unprecedented, since
the only other reason they sell
is for marriage, and that is a
much smaller population.
The selling surge has not
affected all complexes equally.
Mark Freeman, manager
of Raintree Commons, said
the announcement had little
effect on his unit.
To be honest, our numbers
for contract sales arent really
much higher than they are this
time any other year, Freeman
said. Our numbers have just
been steady it hasnt been
a big issue, at least in our
complex.
The matter of women sell-
ing contracts is of far greater
concern to managers than that
of men selling contracts. Male
housing has a history of high
turnover during the semes-
ter break because of young
men returning from missions.
Female housing does not have
the same history.
Im so nervous for all these
girls, Collings said. I wish
we could help them, but I dont
know what to do. I think the
next two years, until the girls
get on the same cycle as the
boys, are going to be hard (to
sell contracts).
Most managers have
not implemented policy change
yet, though they are open to
the possibility. It is difficult
to raise rates in the housing
market, but they have to brain-
storm ways of maintaining rev-
enue in the face of uncertainty
as they begin working on bud-
gets for next year.
Were interested to know
what it is going to look like
next year, around January
and even in August, what it is
going to look like, Kitto said.
Were so curious to know how
the demographics are going to
change.
Managers are looking for
ways to attract what they
believe will be a smaller
incoming population next
year. Collings is looking into
adding amenities like sand
volleyball to attract prospec-
tive residents. Kitto said the
possibility of switching from
housing equal numbers of
men and women to a more
male-dominated complex may
occur. All the considerations
are very preliminary and will
be revised as actual numbers
change in upcoming semesters.
Landlords have had little or
no contact with the University
on this topic yet. Collings was
surprised that the University
made no mention of the issue at
a day-long landlord conference
last week. Bunton said the con-
versation with the off-campus
housing office has been brief
and specific.
The majority of the conver-
sation is just finding ways to
be (of ) as much service as we
can to those residents (who) are
taking off with the change,
Bunton said. Mainly it is just
bracing ourselves for a lot of
paperwork.
For students looking to sell
contracts for winter semester,
managers suggest advertising
on campus or the Internet and
being willing to offer incen-
tives like paying the deposit.
Collings said girls looking
for contracts know they have
an advantage and are asking
about deals.
According to Bunton, using
technology will be important
for successfully selling con-
tracts in a hard market.
Get comfortable with
online postings, Bunton said.
Just talking to your friends
(may have) cut it in the past,
but (residents) will definitely
have to use the Internet to
their advantage in this type of
situation.
With a nearly 500 percent
increase in mission applica-
tions, talk has spread that on-
campus housing at BYU may
be used to accommodate the
impending inf lux of mission-
aries at the MTC.
While there has been a lot of
speculation, no requests have
come to our president from our
Board of Trustees regarding
this issue, University Spokes-
women Carri Jenkins said.

100 games later: Broncos legacy
As 2005 came to a close, BYUs football program
was a wreck. BYU was coming off its third straight
losing season with Gary Crowton as head coach.
To make matters worse, four members of the foot-
ball team were disciplined for honor code violations
that resulted in court hearings for the four play-
ers. With mounting pressure from fans, Crowton
resigned as football coach.

Doctors overrun with
missionary physicals
B y S A R A L A F O N T C L A R K
LDS prophet Thomas
S. Monson announced in
Octobers church general
conference that, effective
immediately, men can serve
at the age of 18 and women
at the age of 19; and effective
immediately, as he was say-
ing it, the plans of thousands
of young adults changed.
Representatives of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-
ter-day Saints say there are
almost 600 future missionar-
ies starting their applications
every day.
However, the Churchs
ofces arent the only ones
that are busier now. The
phones at the BYU Health
Center are ringing off the
hook. Since the LDS Church
lowered the ages when peo-
ple can serve missions, more
people than ever before are
trying to get a mission prep
examination.
The day after conference
was over, I came in at seven
(and) the phone rang non-stop,
said Daneen Wake, Health
Center reception supervisor.
Those early birds were
able to beat the rush and get
appointments. However, oth-
ers like Amy Smith, a future
sister missionary, took longer
to decide to call.
I called the Health Center,
and I got an appointment but
it was 3 weeks out, and I am
not that patient, Smith said.
The Health Center says
they used to have fewer than
10 mission physicals a week
and now they have more
than 100. The earliest these
future missionaries can get
an appointment for physicals
is the last week of November.
However, if they want a spe-
cic doctor, the wait might be
longer.
Some of the general practi-
tioners are booked out clear
until January, said Wake.
This overbooking issue has
made some impatient future
missionaries look for other
solutions. Some students have
called around to different doc-
tors here in Provo in order to
make sooner appointments.
The Health Center employ-
ees say they save some space
for people that need to see the
doctor for other medical rea-
sons. They also brought in
another nurse to help speed
up the process.

The Universe is offering the BYU community a chance to be
a reporter for a day with a 24-hour press pass.
Starting at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 9 until midnight, all BYU stu-
dents, faculty and staff are invited to share their lives with the
BYU community by sending in pictures of their daily doings,
which will appear on The Universe website for the online project
A Day in the Life of BYU.
Participants can share any photos of themselves and what
they are doing that day. This could range from taking a photo-
graph with roommates, sitting in classes, shopping at the mall
or ordering a meal at Wendys. The pictures must be taken
within the 24-hour time-frame on Nov. 9, but there is no time-
line in sending the pictures in.
Steve Fidel, director of The Universe, got the idea from a pre-
vious professional project and hopes to create an interactive
relationship with the BYU audience.
There are places our staff cant get to, Fidel said. Im fully
expecting well learn from this and get ideas of stories to pur-
sue later.
This project gives everyone the opportunity to participate
and is made possible because of technology advancements. With
the increased availability of smartphones, most people are able
to snap a picture and send in an email within a few minutes.
If this proves to be successful, then the project will become an
occasional event.
Natalie Zollinger, a sophomore from Vancouver, Wash., major-
ing in athletic training, works as a receptionist at The Universe
and is excited for the A Day in the Life of BYU project.
Because of the social networking aspect of BYU, having
something else to share with the student body would get people
excited, Zollinger said. Its like another Instagram for the
campus.
Zollinger plans on participating in the event by sending in
pictures from her day. With the opportunity for BYU students
to send in any picture within the same 24-hour time period, the
project gives everyone a chance to tell their own unique story
through pictures.
It shows more than just the stories; (it) kind of shows behind
the scenes, Zollinger said.
Journalism student Sara Phelps, a senior from Rochester,
Mich., is also a campus editor for The Universe. Phelps thinks
the project is a good idea that will hopefully create awareness
of the online Universe and involvement from students.
Its something that will connect BYU students through an
online medium and create a sense of unity, Phelps said.
The A Day in the Life of BYU project is open to the BYU com-
munity from student, faculty and staff in Provo and includes
study abroad programs, such as
the Jerusalem Center. Anything
that happens within the 24-hours
on Nov. 9 can be sent to byuday@
gmail.com for the chance to appear
on The Universe website.

Respecting the flag
Only 60 percent
of BYU students
stop to show
respect during the
flag ceremonies
on campus
B y T A N N E R P E A R S O N
For two weeks in October,
five students stood outside
the ASB and Brigham Square
courtyards counting students
who stopped and students who
continued walking during the
ag ceremonies on campus.
They found about 60 percent of
students stopped for the length
of the ceremony and the rest
did not.
The ASB courtyard Ameri-
can ag is raised every morn-
ing at 7:30 a.m. and lowered
every evening at 5:30 p.m. The
national anthem plays through-
out campus for the duration of
each ag ceremony. Accord-
ing to federal law relating to
displaying the ag, proper eti-
quette indicates that all present
should stop,
face the f lag
and stand at
attention with
t hei r right
hand over
their heart
until the ag
is completely
raised or low-
ered, or until
the anthem
has nished.
S p e n c e r
Bunnell, a sophomore member
of the Air Force ROTC, said the
measurements they took were
of people who were within
sight of the ag and therefore
knew what was happening but
still did not stop despite those
around them stopping.
We feel that most people who
do not stop do not know that it is
the proper etiquette, he said.
In an effort to raise aware-
ness of f lag etiquette and
increase a number of students
who respect it, Bunnell and
four of his classmates staffed
a booth in the
Wilkinson Stu-
dent Center for
two days. Curt
L o c k h a r t ,
Kaleo Rob-
erts, Garrett
Colwel l and
Dustin Wood-
bury asked
passers-by to
ll out a short
survey of their
present under-
standing of on-campus ag cer-
emonies as well as proper ag
etiquette.
Survey results showed that
most people did not know about
the ag being raised and low-
ered to begin with.
Curt Lockhart, a junior
studying chemical engineering,
said they are trying to inspire
social change for an assignment
in their global leadership class.
They were required to think
of multiple issues, propose a
detailed plan, then execute just
one of them. He said though it
started off as an assignment,
his group quickly realized they
all wanted to inspire people to
show more respect for the ag.
I feel ag etiquette helps
promote patriotism and a sense
of unity among citizens of this
great nation, Lockhart said in
an email. It helps bring people
together who would otherwise
have very differing views and
opinions whether politically,
religiously or socially.
Most students responded
positively and felt it is an area
that deserves attention. Bun-
nell hopes to involve the ROTC
program in educating students,
since many students expressed
genuine interest in learning
about proper ag etiquette.
Students who lled out the
survey received miniature
American ags as a reminder of
proper etiquette and as a way to
spread the word about respect-
ing the nations ag.

Tashina Finlayson: One big, happy family
BYU student Tashina Finlayson explains what
it was like growing up with 16 siblings
B y A M Y H A R R I S O N
Meet Tashina Finlayson, a girl
who has more brothers and sis-
ters than humans have toes on
their feet.
The third youngest of 16
children, Finlayson had a
very dynamic and, as she put
it, crazy lifestyle. She has a
niece her age, and for most of
her life all her family has lived
within two hours of her parents
house. Finlayson said her back-
ground and love for her family
has inuenced her life in many
ways.
My relationship with my fam-
ily is the most important thing,
Finlayson said. I always want to
be with my family because that
is what I have always had.
Finlayson said her fam-
ily background inf luenced
her choice to study family
life at BYU. Upon graduation,
she hopes to use her studies
and background to help other
families.
The family is so important,
she said. I feel so much that the
family is what we need to focus
on. Its like Elder M. Russell Bal-
lard said in the last conference.
As soon as we x the family unit,
as soon as we x the fundamen-
tal unit of society, society will
nally be corrected. I denitely
want to help x broken families.
Finlayson hails from Soda
Springs, Idaho, but her family
heritage extends beyond the
borders of North America to
New Zealand. She said gaining
a personal understanding of her
culture played a huge part of
understanding her identity. Fin-
layson carries her family heri-
tage proudly in her life as a BYU
student. She is a member of the
Polynesian Club on campus and
follows in her mothers footsteps,
hosting parties for her friends.
(Tashina) likes to cook for
people a lot because shes Maori,
said Nick Westover, a friend of
Finlayson. She made some fries
and invited a bunch of us over.
That was the rst time we hung
out outside of work. Now were
good friends, and shes cooked a
few more times.
Finlayson said being in a big
family taught her the impor-
tance of doing her part to contrib-
ute. She works with her current
roommates to follow the same
pattern. Her mother said Fin-
layson contributed to the family
by cleaning the house and doing
her sisters hair.
She likes an organized
home, and if I didnt get it there
she would, her mom said. I
remember going away for a day
or two and coming home and
seeing my house back into order
again because Tashina had been
working to get our home in order
again and clean.
Shelby Daniel, a junior from
Soda Springs and long-time
friend, said Finlaysons back-
ground inf luenced how she
interacted with others. Daniel
personally enjoyed random, mid-
night drives when she and Fin-
layson would simply talk.
Being able to talk to people
and listen to their problems def-
initely came from her family,
Daniel said. Being raised in
that big of a family youre going
to hear about a lot of problems
and put up with a lot of stuff. I
really felt she understood my
problems.
Finlayson shares a lot with
her family, but she has personal
goals and hobbies as well. She
is training for a half-marathon,
loves volleyball, basketball,
weightlifting and doing hair.
Her favorite movie, to the point
of obsession, is Nacho Libre,
and she can quote the entire lm.
The BYU ROTC raises the ag at 7:35 a.m. every morning and lowers
the ag at 5:25 p.m. every evening.

BYU students share vision
BYU students run a nonprofit organization that provides eyeglasses to people in Cambodia
B y C A S E Y R H O T O N
BYU students have a vision
and are literally sharing that
vision with others through
their nonprot organization
Seeing is Believing.
Seeing is Believing is a stu-
dent-run program that provides
eyeglasses to people in Cam-
bodia. It collects both dona-
tions and old glasses to outt
those who dont have access or
cant afford eyeglasses. The
student organization works
with the Cambodian govern-
ment to distribute the glasses
and screen patients for vision
impairments.
The idea for the organization
started when Trammell Cox,
founder of Seeing is Believ-
ing, nished his mission in
Cambodia. His family trav-
eled to Cambodia to pick him
up, and while they were there,
Coxs little brother delivered
glasses as an Eagle Scout proj-
ect. The Cox family brought 500
pairs of glasses and $700 to out-
t those in need.
With that money, we spent
$500 and bought 500 pairs of
reading glasses and cases,
Cox said. Reading glasses are
about 50 cents out there, and
prescription glasses are about
$10, so we had an optometrist
go with us to an orphanage
and screen the entire orphan-
age, and for $100 we t about 15
people with brand-new pairs of
prescription glasses.
After seeing the reactions
of the recipients, Cox kicked
around the idea of continu-
ing the service. A year and a
half later, he and some friends
decided to launch it again,
marking the start of Seeing is
Believing.
To see them put their
glasses on for the rst time,
and they could see the board,
and they were all excited, we
thought that was really cool,
he said. For a little bit of effort,
we can do a lot of good and have
a huge impact, so we decided it
was something we wanted to
do long-term and on a little bit
larger scale.
The organization has grown,
and this year its goal is to pro-
vide 5,000 pairs of glasses. The
organization has two primary
roles: one group seeks corpo-
rate and other big donations
to buy new glasses; the other
group operates a recycling pro-
gram where students go out and
collect old glasses.
We realize that most people
have glasses, and if you have
glasses you probably have four
or ve pairs laying around that
you just dont know what to do
with, so we go out and collect
glasses, Cox said. It gives
people a chance to put their old
eyeglasses to good use. Most of
them are just sitting around
collecting dust.
The work with the Cambo-
dian government program
gives the organization access
to eye doctors, helps them order
glasses and even helps them
with transportation around the
country, Cox said.
Bob Parsons, a former BYU
professor and donor to Seeing
is Believing, said he donates
because of an experience he
had watching his grandson put
on his glasses for the rst time.
I watched him one day when
he had just gotten glasses and
there were birds ying over
the top of him, Parsons said.
He looked at them like, Thats
the rst Ive ever seen a bird
y, and I think, My goodness,
thats got to be quite a revela-
tion. I just remember watch-
ing him and imagine its the
same for these people in Cam-
bodia. To be able to see is just
a blessing and a great event to
be able to provide that for these
people.
Jordan Turner, a BYU stu-
dent and business management
major, is involved with Seeing
is Believing as the chief opera-
tions ofcer. He said along with
helping others, his involvement
has made an impact on his life.
Its incredibly fullling; I
really enjoy being a part of this,
I love seeing it grow and I love
knowing that, seriously, every
single dollar, every single pair
of glasses is going to help some-
body in need, Turner said.
Turner said, although they
have been successful, more
volunteers and donations could
help the aid stretch further.
I wish more people would
get involved, and I hope people
understand that this is really
impactful and meaningful
because were changing lives
literally one pair of glasses at
a time, Turner said.
More information about the
organization and upcoming
events can be found on its web-
site, www.sibcambodia.org.

Potential
congressional
gridlock possible
after election
Continued from Page 1
Much of the continued grid-
lock speculation stems from
President Obamas inten-
tions to increase tax rates on
the upper class and Republi-
can opposition to that type of
policy.
The Los Angeles Times
recently published under the
headline What to expect if
President Obama wins sec-
ond term, discussing tax
increases on the wealthy and
the likelihood that it will be a
presidential priority.
The clearest priority that
Obama has established for a
potential second term is his
demand that tax rates go up
on incomes over $250,000 per
year. If he is re-elected, that
goal would set up an early, and
potentially intense, battle with
congressional Republicans,
who are likely to retain control
of the House and perhaps win
a majority in the Senate, the
report said.
According to the LA Times,
President Obamas staff has
already been preparing for
this outcome.
White House aides have
indicated that Obama would
try for a deal resembling the
grand bargain he unsuc-
cessfully sought last year
with House Speaker John A.
Boehner (R-Ohio). That would
involve congressional Repub-
licans agreeing to accept some
higher taxes and Democrats
accepting new restraints on
the governments big entitle-
ment programs, primarily
Medicare, said the article.
Obamas aides concede that
the possibility of that hap-
pening would depend on how
Republicans interpreted an
Obama victory in November,
whether it would cause them
to compromise with Obama or
fight even harder.
Frank Rich, a former
New York Times columnist,
recently sat down with Salon.
com as part of a series about
where American politics goes
from here.
Rich sees more of the same
ahead, the website reported.
A president who remains
cautious in a second term, an
opposition party that thinks it
needs to be even more conser-
vative, and a race among true
believers for the partys nod in
2016.

The Electoral College results for the 2012 presidential election.
No clear picture from the
polls before Election Day
B y R O B B I E J E N K I N S
Polling in the 2012 presiden-
tial election left anything but a
clear picture.
"There is error in every poll,"
said Dan Jones, founder of the
Dan Jones & Associates poll-
ing rm and a political science
professor at the University of
Utah. "What I'm nding this
year, more so than ever, is a lot
of disparity. There is more dis-
parity in these polls than I have
ever seen, and I've been polling
since 1959."
Jones explained that in poll-
ing, there are many key factors.
Gender, age and sample size all
have an effect on the polls, as
well as over polling. "There
are too many polls," Jones said,
"and I poll everyday."
He also emphasized the
importance of making sure a
poll's sample is representative of
the demographic. For example,
a Colorado poll conducted pri-
marily in Denver, which favors
Obama by 12, will undoubtedly
reveal a preference for Obama,
although many other parts of
the state favor Romney, accord-
ing to Jones.
"Not all polling rms are
credible," he added, as some
use biased questions and tech-
niques called push polling,
where the person polled is given
a disparaging yet hypothetical
situation involving a candidate
and asked to answer accord-
ingly. Some pollsters also use
automated polling services
that sometimes call in the mid-
dle of the night and seem more
intrusive.
When it comes down to pre-
dicting the winner, though,
Jones admitted before the
election, "I really can't tell who
will win this election."
While disparities did exist
in many state polls, especially
those in swing states, Nate
Silver proposed that averages
from state polls usually predict
an election.
After compiling poll data
from previous elections, start-
ing with the 1980 election, Sil-
ver identified 44 instances
in which state polls revealed
a single-digit difference in
percentages between two
candidates. In all but nine
instances, the favored can-
didate, as determined by the
average of at least three cred-
ible polls, won the state and its
electoral votes.
Further, the instances
in which a candidate won
the state despite trailing in
pre-election polls occurred
with less than a two percent
difference between the candi-
dates. Meaning, historically,
a candidate who led a state by
two or more percentage points
always won the state.
This still implied Romney
had a chance at winning key
swing states despite Obama's
lead in a majority of the polls.
In other words, though his-
tory was on Obama's side,
there are cases where the
trailing candidate won the
state, especially when he
trailed by less than two per-
centage points.
Ironically, national polls
painted a different picture.
A number of prominent and
credible polls revealed that, on
average, Romney led the popu-
lar vote, even by as much as ve
percent. These polls included
Gallup, NPR, ABC News, the
Washington Post and Rasmus-
sen Reports.

BYU leader in conducting state-wide exit poll
B y B R O O K E W E E N I G
The only state-wide exit poll
in Utah was conducted by 600
college students and was led by
BYU students and others from
six Utah colleges.
On Election Day, many BYU
students and other university
students from across the state
worked from 6 a.m. to well after
the polls closed to analyze data
collected at 130 different poll-
ing locations across Utah. The
students approached random
voters as they left polling places
and invited them to participate
in a confdential survey.
Quite frankly, we are not
trying to predict the vote, said
Ethan Busby, a political science
major and part of the exit-poll
team. The purpose is to see
why people voted for certain can-
didates and to understand what
people from Utah want from
their elected representatives.
The Utah Colleges Exit Poll
is the longest running student-
run exit poll in the country,
beginning in 1982. Surveyors
and analysts included students
from BYU, Southern Utah Uni-
versity, Utah State University,
Utah Valley University, Weber
State University and Westmin-
ster College. The organization
provides experience for students
that supplements their class-
room instruction on timely and
accurate predictions of election
day results.
The Utah Colleges Exit Poll is
one of the most unique learning
experiences a student can have,
said BYU political science Pro-
fessor Kelly D. Patterson, Dur-
ing this consequential election
year, it is great to be able to help
students gain a frst-hand look at
the political process.
Students from both the
political science and statistics
departments at BYU organized
this years poll. The tasks the
students performed included
random sampling, survey
design, training student inter-
viewers, data entry in computer
systems and preparation for
election night coverage on TV.
For me I am interested in
doing this, I want to be a profes-
sor and I want to do research,
Busby said. So this is practice
for me doing something like this
on my own in the future.
During the election, there
were students who roved and
provided back-up to differ-
ent geographic areas and gave
encouragement to those doing
the surveys. Most of the par-
ticipating students stayed at
BYU to receive and process the
data that came from the student
interviewers.
There are a lot of risky things
that could possibly happen, said
Ben Ader, political science major
and member of the exit-poll
team. We always want to have
a quick response and a team that
can be there to help them.
This years exit-surveys not
only included the voters choices
for president, governor and con-
gress members but also voters
opinions about the national
economy, the budget deficit,
health care reform and foreign
policy. The personnel at each
exit poll were trained by BYU
students.
I have learned the impor-
tance of coordination, said
Katherine Westmoreland, a
political science major and part
of the exit-poll team. I learned
the value of communication and
that each step is crucial.
Although the exit polls
showed Utah going to Romney,
Obama won early in the elec-
toral college. Obama will serve
four more years as president of
the United States.

said the Leadership Excellence
Award recognizes leaders in our
community, state, church and
nation, who have demonstrated
the leadership traits and charac-
teristics of Cap-
tain Moroni in
Alma, chapter
48, verses 11-12:
Mo r o n i
was a strong
and mighty
man; he was a
man of perfect
underst and-
ing whose
soul did joy in
the liberty and
the freedom of
his country
a man whose
heart did swell
in thanksgiv-
ing to his God,
for the many
privileges and
blessings which he bestowed
upon his people , Straight
quoted from the Book of Mor-
mon. The BYU Army ROTC
Advisory Council recommended
(President) Dieter Uchtdorf
for the Leadership Excellence
Award because throughout
his life as a German Air Force
pilot, father, husband, busi-
ness leader and Church leader,
he has demonstrated these
characteristics.
Straight hopes students and
cadets will be reminded of the
signifcance of Veterans Day,
which is on Sunday, Nov. 11. I
would hope that the students and
cadets take a moment to remem-
ber those (who) have made the
ultimate sacrifice when this
country called, he said.
Col. Paul Kucharek, com-
mander of BYUs Air Force
ROTC detachment, said he
wants students to recognize
the sacrifces, both great and
small, of those who fght to pre-
serve Americas freedom and
liberties.
The main thing that we
would like students to learn
from the Presidential Review
leading up to Veterans Day on
Nov. 11, is the recognition and
honor we give to all the armed
forces veterans who have served
this great country, Kucharek
said.
During the week leading up to
Veterans Day, both the Air Force
and Army ROTC will be partici-
pating in on-campus events to
involve BYU students in paying
tribute to Americas past mili-
tary personnel.

Mormon Media
studies symposium
B y s T e P H a N i e G r a F F
Mormonism seems to be
everywhere in the media lately.
From the Mitt Romney cam-
paign to The Book of Mormon
Musical, coverage and scru-
tiny of the LDS faith have been
intense during the past year.
The Mormon Media Sympo-
sium on Nov. 89 will present
a series of presentations and
discussions on key issues relat-
ing to the Mormon Moment
in the media.
Craig Foster, a genealogist at
the Family History Library,
will present a paper titled Mitt
Romney and the Medias Shap-
ing of the Mormon Question.
Students will learn how to
put this coverage in a histori-
cal and social perspective,
Foster said. They must be able
to place this moment within a
greater context.
The symposium will include
paper presentations on subjects
relating to Mormons and the
media, as well as feature expert
panels and discussions. There
will also be a special screening
on Thursday night of Trapped
by the Mormons, a 1922 anti-
Mormon silent flm.
The symposium aims to
give students a clearer under-
standing of the interaction
betweenThe Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints
and the media. Blair Van Dyke
will be presenting a case study
in LDS public relations at the
symposium.
The interface between the
Church and the media is fasci-
nating, Van Dyke said. Media
really plays a major role in how
the Church is perceived, (and)
it is impossible to divorce our
perception from the media. It
helps us to mitigate inaccu-
rate accounts and gets the facts
into the hands of the public.
With more than 40 classes on
a variety of subjects, students
can choose to attend the classes
and events that interest them
most.
Rosemary Avance, a Fon-
taine Fellow in the School for
Communication at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, will
be presenting a paper at the
symposium on breaks in LDS
identity and different groups of
Mormons online.
The Internet has not cre-
ated different groups of Mor-
mons, but it has made them
visible, Avance said. My hope
is for groups of Mormons to be
able to fnd common ground
(online).
More information, as well as
a complete schedule of the two-
day event, can be found online
at mormonsandmedia.byu.edu.

Fan has perfect home football record
BYU Bookstore employee goes 26
seasons without missing a home game
B Y T A N N E R P E A R S O N
One hundered and fty-eight
games in 26 straight seasons.
Thats the equivalent of more
than 550 hours, or 23 full days
inside LaVell Edwards Stadium.
That is how much of a Cougar foot-
ball fan BYU Bookstore Textbook
Manager Tom Hirtzel is. Since the
1987 season, he has attended every
single BYU football home game.
Now in his managers ofce,
he is surrounded by vintage 1984
national championship posters,
advertisements hes been in and a
Certicate of Participation from
co-workers when he hit 140 games
in 2009, complete with a falsied
Cosmo signature.
Originally from a small town
in Illinois, Hirtzel grew up a BYU
fan. He came to BYU in 1987 as a
freshman, after spending three
years working and serving an
LDS mission.
His unique habit started his
freshman year when he bought
season tickets. Hirtzel said he
never planned on attending every
game, but it just happened. I did
not have a plan, but I just did not
have a conict, Hirtzel said.
Nothing ever came up, so I just
went to them.
Upon graduation in 1991,
Hirtzel received a promotion at
the Bookstore, where he had been
employed for the four years of his
undergraduate career in geogra-
phy and cartography. He said he
continued to buy tickets and go
to games and even met his wife,
Tamara, while trying to nd a
friend to use an extra ticket.
She was so excited because
she wasnt able to get tickets, and I
thought, man, this girl likes foot-
ball, Hirtzel said. I invited her
to all the rest of the games after
that.
Tamara said she has always
been supportive of her husband. I
gure he doesnt have any broth-
ers and no sons, let him have his
football, Tamara said. This is
his one thing he really gets into
and enjoys, and I am not going to
stop him, especially now with his
streak of games.
She appreciates that Hirtzel
makes game day a family affair,
buying at least two tickets so she
or one of their kids can go. It is the
whole BYU football experience
that the family enjoys the most.
He likes to be there early,
Tamara said. He leaves at least
an hour before the game and has
a very specic place he parks. His
friends all know and often meet
up for hellos before or after the
game.
Hirtzel said he is different
than the stereotypical super
fan. After he had a few kids, he
realized he could no longer let a
loss affect his mood. About 10
years ago I nally had to divorce
my emotional well-being from the
barometer of how well the foot-
ball team did, Hirtzel said. I
think I actually started enjoying
the games more after a loss. I just
realized theres a lot more to life,
that I cant come home to my fam-
ily and be mad.
He said hes not an over-the-top
fan, but a genuine one. Im not
that psycho about this, I dont get
that look in my eye, Hirtzel said.
But Id go to every game if they
lost every game. I love football, I
love BYU and what (it) stands for.
The only thing Hirtzel does that
he admits may be a little over the
top is committing his daughters
to check the BYU home game cal-
endar when they plan their wed-
dings. They laugh and think its
funny to talk about, but Im seri-
ous, he said.
Speaking of his future, he hopes
he can keep his record up but will
not put it over anything serious.
Ill do everything that I can thats
reasonable to keep going, but if
theres something serious, I wont
hold this hostage over it, he said.
He was, however, very sur-
prised at the amount of time he has
spent in Cougar stadium. Over
550 hours of my life inside Cougar
stadium, thats kind of sobering,
Hirtzel said when he added up all
the numbers. Twenty-six years?
Thats like over half my life. I
never imagined Id go this long,
but its a good way to spend it.
Life at the BYU Lost and Found
Everything there
is to know about
one of campus
busiest facilities
B y N A T A L I E S I V E R T S E N
Hundreds of items, from
shampoo to iPads, are received,
recorded and stored daily by
student employees at the BYU
Lost and Found.
The Lost and Found contains
more than 3,000 lost items, and
employees are responsible for
tending to almost 200 students
a day who come to claim lost
items.
According to Director of
Guest Services Gayle Nielson,
more than 70 percent of the
items are returned to their
owners, and the rest are often
left behind because students
dont come to look for them.
A lot of things people never
bother to come look for, Niel-
son said. Its amazing how
many will lose a wallet and
never come.
Doug Pinkel, Lost and Found
student manager, said the cen-
ter is most busy when students
move from their apartments
and during the summer.
We get eight or nine trash
bags a week from sports camps
and EFY during the summer,
Pinkel said.
Items unclaimed after three
months are bagged and kept in
a storage unit until the yearly
Lost and Found sale, when they
are sold for a fraction of their
original price.
There was once a really nice
leather coat that still had the
price tag for $130, and we sold
it for about $8, Pinkel said.
Money made from the sale is
donated to Student Activities.
Hundreds of similar items,
such as coats, pile up in the
meantime, making it difficult
to find the right one when a stu-
dent comes to claim it.
Most people dont remem-
ber a lot of stuff about their
clothes, Pinkel said. So we
have to ask them questions like,
Do you remember the brand
name? Does it have a logo on
the outside? Does it have a
zipper? Does it have a hood?
Does it have a collar? Does
it have pockets? Do the pock-
ets zip up? Are there any little
features (you) can remember?
The most common lost items
are balls, coats, headphones
and water bottles. Pinkel said
the Lost and Found gets 20 to 30
new water bottles a day.
A wheelchair, crutches and
a high chair are some of the
more random articles brought
to the facility, but things like
socks, underwear or Tupper-
wares with old food in them are
not accepted.
Nielson said she is often
impressed by the good nature
of students who turn in valu-
able items.
Its good to see how hon-
est people really are, Nielson
said. Weve had it where some-
one has lost $100 and its just
fallen in the Brigham Square
courtyard and people bring it
in.
Seth White, a freshman from
Camden, SC, studying electri-
cal engineering, was relieved
to find his wallet in the Lost
and Found with all its contents
still in it.
(It) was a 10/10, White said
about getting his wallet back.
It happened to me at the begin-
ning of the semester, and it had
like $40 in it.
Pinkel said helping people
find their valuables is the most
rewarding part of his job.
When somebody gets their
stuff back and theyre really
excited, (it is the best), he said.
It just feels good to make some-
body happy.

Truly inspirational story....it only
takes one person to make a differ-
ence in someones life - how for-
tunate to have the entire football
team unify and show courage and
determination to stop the bully-
ing behavior of others. Her smile
is priceless - the football team has
changed her life forever in a posi-
tive way.

Limited Enrollment
Limited enrollment majors
are not benefcial to BYU stu-
dents or to the university.
They often put students in
very uncomfortable positions.
Example: Susies lifelong
dream is to be an accountant.
After two years at BYU, she
applies to the accounting pro-
gram, which turns her down.
She can (a) twaddle her time
away for a year and try again
(b) transfer to another school,
or (c) give up and pursue a
career she doesnt like.
Wouldnt it be nice if Susie
had known before whether
BYU ft her goals?
In such cases, receiving
admittance to BYU is like
receiving a job offer without
knowing what the job is
(salesman, janitor, etc.).
If demand for a program
exceeds its current supply,
adjust program sizes to match
need.
If BYU standards are insuf-
fcient, they should be raised.
If they are incomplete, allow
prospective students to apply
before starting at BYU (as
with the music program).
In summary, limited enroll-
ment majors cheapen BYU
admission, limit students
ability to plan, imbalance sup-
ply/demand among majors,
and contribute to graduate-
when-Im-28-and-have-three-
kids syndrome.
The inherent diffculty of
a major should be refected
in the rigor of the classes and
the nature of the coursework,
rather than in committees
and uncertain futures.

Wi-Fi available to all
Right now, upon opening
the www.byu.edu homepage,
Im bombarded with news and
accolades about how BYU is a
world-class university. And
no doubt, in many aspects, it
is. All over campus I hear talk
of number one accounting
program in the nation, high-
est percentage of students ac-
cepted who ultimately enroll,
and (occasionally) BYU foot-
ball will make a bowl game.
Indeed, BYU is able to hold its
own against many of the top
universities in the nation, not
to mention the world.
However, on a regular basis
I step into three out of the fve
classrooms that my schedule
requires me to visit, and I
cannot connect to the Internet.
Neither my smartphone, nor
my laptop, nor the kid-who-
sits-next-to-mes iPad can con-
nect to the Wi-Fi. As a world-
class university, I would
think that, in the year 2012,
all classrooms would provide
access to wireless internet
for the purpose of complet-
ing/submitting assignments,
research, accessing cloud/
network drives, email corre-
spondence, or simply wasting
time reading a blog about cat
pictures if I so desire.
I cant imagine setting
foot into a classroom at MIT,
Stanford, or even (heaven
forbid) the University of Utah
and not being able to access
the World Wide Web. If BYU is
striving to compete with and
become a top-tier university, it
needs to provide the services
that should accompany such a
ranking.
This is not to mention the
recent institution of BYU
Learning Suite, which, in
addition to eliminating third
party software, implies BYUs
commitment to going paper-
less and relying on online
accessibility of content. Not
one of my fve professors this
semester issued a hard copy of
the syllabus, instead opting to
put it online and expecting the
class to access it as needed.
Additionally, professors
change assignments, add notes
and announcements, and
encourage students to partici-
pate in the Digital Dialog on
Learning Suite, all of which
should exist electronically. I
applaud the excellent layout of
BYU
Learning Suite, which al-
lows the student to access all
of his/her assignments, notes,
and grades in a single, intui-
tive interface. But how can it
be effective if I cannot access
the internet in 60 percent of
my classes?
If BYU intends to attract
and educate the brightest, it
must be committed to provid-
ing students with the tools to
succeed, including widespread
wireless connectivity in all
classrooms.

Maybe youve heard this phrase before:
Dont believe everything you think.
It resonated with me the frst time I heard it,
as it has for countless others who have spread
the truism. Search the phrase on Google, and
youll see it applied to a wide range of subjects:
psychology, business, religion, etc. It seems
weve embraced it with open arms.
Yet, as this election cycle has run its course,
its clear that Americans dont practice the
phrase with much conviction or consistency.
And, too often, the reality of our behavior sits
on the other end of the spectrum.
Ones own thoughts, in actuality, seem like
the only thing a person is willing to believe
any more.
While theres nothing wrong with having
conviction, Im concerned about how
tightly people seem to clutch to their
own thoughts; how much they trust
their thoughts as infalible truth.
This worries me because history
repeatedly shows the foolishness in
such trust. This worries me because
we scoff at humankinds past rigid-
ness, while refusing to accept that
our own personal views might be just
as rigid, undeveloped or ultimately
unfnished.
I noticed something after the sec-
ond and third presidential debates.
Watching them, I thought I had a
good grasp on how they played out, and which
candidates emerged the victor on various is-
sues. Then I would go to Twitter, to Facebook,
to work, to school, and it was as if others had
watched a completely different debate.
It was then that I began to understand just
how much people see only what they want to
see. I wondered how guilty I was of the same
offense. How much had I already made up my
mind on a candidate? An issue? A party?
How much had I believed everything I
thought?
As part of my job as digital innovation edi-
tor, I oversee The Universes Facebook and
Twitter accounts. As such, I see and moderate
the feedback our digital audience gives us. On
many stories (BYU and caffeine, the assassi-
nated ambassador in Libya, Romneys BYU/
mission years, to name a few) theres been con-
siderable backlash.
In general, I have been surprised at peoples
dismissiveness of these explanations. They
believe what they think, and they believe it so
deeply as to completely trivialize a viewpoint
that differs from their own.
This kind of self-surety would be humorous
if it was not so frequent, so unrelenting, so
common across all shades of political afflia-
tion.
Of course, the most close-minded are often
the most vocal. They always have been, and
probably always will be. And I recognize that
such voices often smother those of a more rea-
sonable majority. But cable news, the Internet
and social media have created such a deafen-
ing ideological cacophony that I worry about
how most Americans have responded to it
namely, that we safeguard our own thoughts
too strongly while accessing only those other
opinions that agree with ours.
Granted, there is a wellspring of faulty,
almost militant rhetoric out there that is
grounds for skepticism. And our views
shouldnt be so malleable as to become form-
less. But fexibility isnt moral relativism. Just
because anothers view includes a grain of salt
doesnt mean you shouldnt take it.
I think about how deeply unpro-
ductive our own self-surety can be,
and what kind of future this coun-
try faces if the majority of its citi-
zens choose to live in their own lim-
ited perceptions. How much better
off would we be if we acknowledged
the difference between actual real-
ity and the one formed by our own
evolving experience? How many
more problems would be fxed if
we saw truth as something we con-
stantly work toward, rather than
something weve already obtained?
Generally, I believe society progresses in
its overall views and policies. But that prog-
ress is not guaranteed. Its conditional upon a
citizenry who accept the developing nature of
their own thoughts and feelings; who see the
foolishness and danger in their own pseudo-
omniscience.
Regardless of who is in the White House, I
hope Americans will give their own individ-
ual notions some breathing room. I hope we
leave space in our minds and hearts for com-
promise. In 30 years, Im sure most of us will
look back on 2012 and admit that, collectively
and individually, we were not as enlightened
as we thought we were. Our future hindsight
deserves a place in our current mind.

Dont believe everything you think

COURT
MANN
Twice a year at general conference, Latter-
day Saints have the opportunity to raise their
right hands and sustain their church leaders.
We are taught that this is an important mo-
ment. Through the physical representation
of our faith and support of the offce that our
leaders hold, we help them to succeed in their
callings.
However, with that said, there have been
times in my life where I have respected the
offce of the leader but not agreed with the ac-
tions of the leader.
I believe that there is a difference between
sustaining and upholding the offce of the
leader and agreeing with that leaders opinion.
In this presidential election, I have not
agreed with everything either candidate has
said. While I may agree with one can-
didates policies more than the other,
I do not believe either candidate is
perfect. Each has their negative and
positive sides.
Looking at the future with Presi-
dent Obama elected for a second term
I foresee him governing a deeply
divided nation. He will have the re-
sponsibility of healing a country in
economic crisis.
Refecting back on the past four
years of Obamas presidency, I have
not agreed with a lot of the decisions
he has made for our country, particu-
larly when it comes to how he has handled the
economy. But Obama is still the President of
the United States, and for that he deserves a
certain amount of respect.
I can support the offce and not necessarily
the actions of the man or woman holding the
offce.
Soon after the election the President will
face looming deadlines over budget cuts and
tax changes. He will have to debate with Con-
gress over a subject that admittedly already
has raw feelings.
President Obama has pledged to further fed-
eral funding and support for public and post-
secondary education in America.
The media has reported that with Obama re-
elected he plans on shifting more power and
money into the federal government and less
power to the states.
In Obamas platform, he says that in order to
improve public education, he will hire 100,000
new math and science teachers at the K-12 level
over the next 10 years. He will continue to sup-
port his program Race to the Top which will
provide funding to states, based on states own
improvement plans.
Education is something that is very impor-
tant, especially when it comes to the competi-
tion between the United States and other coun-
tries. We need a plan that will help us improve
our students so that we are competitive in the
international world.
Looking back at the past four years of
Obamas presidency, I have a hard time believ-
ing that he is going to do anything to help the
United States get out of the tremendous debt
that we are in. His polices have only sunk us
deeper in to the hole that already existed.
Many Americans have been talking about
the movie Obama 2016 and comparing that
to what the country will look like if Obama is
re-elected for another term.
While watching the movie I was personally
a bit troubled at what the future would look
like under another Obama term, but I also re-
alized that the movie was quite biased.
Although I am personally not
in agreement with all of Obamas
foreign polices and his economic
stance, I love my country and I sup-
port the offce of President.
With Obama as the president I
can support and respect his offce
while not agreeing and fighting
against some of his policies.
In our country there is a separa-
tion between the person who we
vote for and the offce that a person
holds. I may not agree with every
decision that my church leaders
have ever made but once they hold
that offce, I will not oppose them.
The separation comes when I am choosing
how to support them in my own life. Under
Obamas presidency I can vote against some
of his policies while at the same time respect-
ing him as the president of the United States.
Now that Obama has been re-elected as the
president of the United States we should not
bad-mouth him to others but respect and sus-
tain him as our president. If you have an issue
with his policies, take a stand, vote against the
policies, start a petition, and get involved in
the democratic process.
That is the beautiful thing about the United
States, there is a variety of opinions and we
personally get to choose and vote for what we
want to support. The future is as bright as we
make it. We can choose to fght for what we be-
lieve in or not.

Cougars historic season
earns them a No. 1 seed
Womens soccer
celebrates
successful season
B y M A R C U S E L L I S O N
The BYU womens soccer team just
completed a historic season, during
which the Cougars took down pow-
erhouse opponents and met new
heights.
This has been amazing, BYUs for-
mer goalkeeper and current assistant
coach Mckinzie Olson said. It has
been obviously one of the most suc-
cessful seasons BYU soccer has ever
had. I think its amazing, comparing
this season to last season, because
its a lot of the same team and so its
amazing how they really stepped up
this year and made the most of every
game.
The Cougars end the regular sea-
son with a record of 18 1 1 not being
beaten since Aug. 25 on their way to the
highest ranking in school history at
No. 4. BYU outscored their opponents
this season 47 10 and tallied 11 shut-
outs. BYU also beat ve ranked teams
including No. 6 Penn State and No. 11
Long Beach State.

The call of a coach
A handful of coaches have two things in common: Their love of sports and their faith
B y S C O T T H A N S E N
O
ver the last three decades there have
been many coaches who have spent
time in various positions at BYU and
other universities and have gone on to
nd success coaching in college ranks
and in the professional leagues. This
prompts the questions, Where are they
now, and what are they doing? Even
though they have spent time coaching
for different teams, sometimes against
each other as rivals, there is one impor-
tant thing that unites many of these
coaches: their religious faith.
The most common years in
which these coaches either
worked, played or simply
attended BYU was between
1978 and 1982. During this
time span, Andy Reid and
Robert Anae played on the
offensive line, and Kyle Whit-
tingham played as a linebacker
on defense. Additionally, Norm
Chow was the offensive
coordinator for the
Cougars and
Gary Crowton
was a gradu-
ate assis-
tant. As
an added
n o t e ,
this was
also the
time in
whi c h
Danny
Ainge
l e d
t h e
Cougars basketball team to its rst
Sweet 16 appearance.
All these former Cougars are now
coaching either in the college or pro-
fessional ranks. Reid has been the
Philadelphia Eagles head coach since
1999 and has led the Eagles to ve NFC
Championship games and a Super Bowl
appearance.
Whittingham has been the head
coach of BYU rival the University of
Utah since 2005, the same year current
BYU head coach and fellow Latter-day
Saint Bronco Mendenhall took over
the Cougars team from Gary Crow-
ton, who coached the Cougars
between legendary coach
LaVell Edwards retire-
ment and the Mendenhall
era. Crowton is still coach-
ing, having spent time as
the offensive coordina-
tor for LSU during their
national championship
season in 2007, and is cur-
rently the offensive coordi-
nator of the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers of
the Canadian
Foot bal l
League.
Chow was recently named the head
coach for the University of Hawaiis
football team at the beginning of the
2012 season after spending time as the
offensive coordinator for several high-
prole teams such as USC, UCLA, Utah
and the Tennessee Titans of the NFL.
Chow also was offensive coordinator
for BYU when the Cougars won their
national championship in 1984, while
Anae was playing offensive guard.
Anae was the offensive coordinator for
BYU from 2005 to 2011, at which point
he took the same position at the Univer-
sity of Arizona. Former Cougar quar-
terback Brandon Doman replaced Anae
as offensive coordinator and is another
LDS coach of note. In addition, Ainge
himself spent time coaching in the
NBA for the Phoenix Suns from
1996 to 1999. He is currently
the President of Basketball
Operations for his former
team, the Boston Celtics.
Other LDS coaches
throughout the coach-
ing world are Mike
Leach, who attended
BYU from 1980 to 1983
but did not play or coach
football for the Cougars.
However, it has been noted
that Leachs inspiration as a
coach was from watching the
Edwards-led Cougars at the time.
Leach found great success as head
coach of Texas Tech University,
helping his offense set several NCAA
records. Leach is currently the head
coach of the Washington State Cougars.
Gary Andersen, who currently
coaches at Utah State, never spent time
in Provo but played as a center at the
former Ricks College, now known as
BYUIdaho. Andersen was the defen-
sive coordinator for the Utes during
their 2008 season, which culminated
with the impressive Sugar Bowl victory
over Alabama.
Another LDS football coach who
never spent time at BYU is Ken Niuma-
talolo, who is currently the head coach
at the Naval Academy. Niumatalolo was
the quarterback for the Hawaii Rain-
bow Warriors while Anae coached as a
graduate assistant there.
There are a few former BYU coaches
and players who are not LDS who have
also gone on to nd success in coaching
throughout the country. These include
current University of Washington Head
Coach Steve Sarkisian, who played
quarterback for BYU from 1995 to 1996;
Brian Billick, who won Super Bowl
XXXV as coach of the Baltimore Ravens
and played tight end for the Cougars;
and Mike Holmgren, who until recently
was the President of the Cleveland
Browns and who also coached the quar-
terbacks at BYU from 1982 to 1985. Hol-
mgren helped groom future NFL Hall
of Fame quarterbacks Steve Young
and Robbie Bosco, who led
the Cougars to
their national championship in 84.
There are far fewer LDS coaches in
the basketball world, Ainge being argu-
ably the most successful to date. In addi-
tion to current BYU Head Coach Dave
Rose, two other coaches of note are Utah
States Stew Morrill and UNLVs Dave
Rice. Morrill played college basketball
at Gonzaga and has held the Aggies
position since 1998, and Rice spent six
years as an assistant coach for BYU
under Rose.
Whether they are LDS or BYU-afl-
iated (or both), these coaches have
woven their ways through college and
professional ranks, some nding enor-
mous success, while others are still in
the process
of mak-
ing their
m a r k s
on the
coach-
ing
world.
Current BYU Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall and Uni-
versity of Utah Head Coach Kyle Whittingham have both
held their positions since 2005.

a game against Penn State at South Field during regular season.

Real Soccer in Salt Lake City gets a
new chant that fans have embraced
B y R Y A N G R AY
When Branden Steineckert was
first invited to a Real Salt Lake game
in 2007 he didnt know anything about
the team or the sport.
I have never
gotten into sports
at all, Steineck-
ert said. My
friend told me we
should go to a Real
Salt Lake game
sometime and I
responded, What
is that? My friend
said it was a Utah
major league soc-
cer team, but I had
never even heard
of it.
With some reluctance Steineckert,
a former band member of The Used
and current drummer for Rancid,
decided to go and see what RSL was
all about.
Instantly the game was exciting,
Steineckert said. We were scream-
ing, but we didnt even know what
we were screaming about. We would
react when the crowd would react.
When the referee would make a call
that made the crowd yell, we would
yell too. We had no idea what we were
doing.
Once the game was over, Steineck-
ert bought Real Salt Lake merchan-
dise and became a season ticket
holder. He was hooked.
After attending games regu-
larly, Steineckert found an opportu-
nity for fans to contribute more to
the game. He had
attended soccer
games in Europe
and noticed the
teams had chants
that brought the
whol e crowd
t oget her. He
wanted some-
thing similar for
Real Salt Lake
fans.
I want ed
t o creat e a
chant that felt
organic, starting small and then
growing bigger as more and more peo-
ple joined in, Steineckert said. I was
toying with this idea with a notepad,
and this song came to me one day.
Adam Zastowny, corporate services
manager for Real Salt Lake, first
heard the chant after it was recorded.
See CHANT on Page 13
To be in the stadium and

hear so many strangers
that I have never met
singing a song I wrote in my
house is really surreal.

Regular season begins Friday for BYU basketball
B y S H E Y G R O S S E N
The BYU mens basketball
team begins to play games that
count in the win-loss column
this week as they open up regu-
lar season play against Tennes-
see State at home in the Marriott
Center.
The opening game will be
part of BYUs participation in
the Coaches v. Cancer Classic.
The following week the Cou-
gars will go to New York to par-
ticipate in the championship
rounds against Florida State on
Nov. 16 and either Notre Dame
or Saint Josephs the following
day.
Tennessee State is from the
Ohio Valley Conference and has
been picked to nish second in
the Eastern Division, coming off
their rst 20win season since
1979.
Two players to watch on the
Tigers roster are senior forward
Robert Covington and junior
guard Patrick Miller.
Covington averaged 17.8
points, and 7.9 rebounds a game
last season and Miller had 10.8
points and 3.6 assists.
The Cougars were also picked
to nish second in the West
Coast Conference. They are look-
ing to build on the momentum of
two exhibition game blowouts.
Team captains Brandon
Davies, Tyler Haws and Brock
Zylstra are hoping to help the
team do just that.
All three players scored in
double digits in last weeks exhi-
bition game. Haws led the way
with 19 points.
Coaches and players have
been impressed with the fan sup-
port already and look for more of
it Friday night.
After the game on Saturday,
senior guard Craig Cusick
talked about how great it is for
the team to come out and have
the fans be there.
Its amazing. We thank our
fans so much and for the support
of everybody, Cusick said. It
makes a huge difference. We are
playing for this community.
The team hopes even more
fans will show up at the home
opener Friday at 7 p.m.

13 Riley Nelson, QB
The high school Parade All-
American originally committed
to Utah State to play for his home-
town Aggies. There he was a team
captain as a freshman starting in
eight games prior to leaving foot-
ball to serve an LDS Church mis-
sion. He attended BYU following
his mission and beat out Jake
Heaps in a quarterback battle that
lasted over a full season and led
BYU to a 61 record in games he
started as a junior. Injuries ham-
pered Nelsons career when he
injured his shoulder in 2010 and
injured his spine in 2012. He has
thrown for 3,461 yards, 31 touch-
downs and nine interceptions.
He is a three-time letter-winner
at BYU.
#
3 James Lark, QB
Committed to BYU after he tied
the Utah high school state record
with 79 touchdown passes. He
saw limited action over his last
three years at BYU, but that did
not stop many fans clamor to see
how a pocket-passer style quarter-
back like Lark would fare in the
offense. He threw for 159 yards,
one touchdown and one intercep-
tion. He is a three time letter-win-
ner and majoring in marketing
management.
#
27 David Foote, RB
Two-sport athlete in high

omore year. He rushed for 296
yards and one touchdown and 94
receiving yards. He is a three time
letter-winner.
#
35 Zed Mendenhall, RB
He lettered in wrestling, base-
ball and football at Lone Peak
before committing to play foot-
ball for BYU. Playing in every
game but one since his sopho-
more year, Mendenhall earned his
playing time being a bruiser. He
led the running-game by opening
up holes as a fullback and helped
improve BYUs rushing. He has
only carried the ball once but
made the most of it as he punched
it into the end zone for a one yard
score. He also has 10 receptions for
56 yards. He is a three time letter-
winner and majoring in account-
ing as he aspires to go to medical
school.

majoring in business.
#

gars since his sophomore year
in every game. He is a three
time letter-winner and majoring
in public health with a minor in
business management.
#
99 Riley Stephenson, OL
Stephenson was an all-state
punter and place-kicker in high
school, earning the No. 2 ranked
punter and No. 9 ranked place-
kicker in the nation. At BYU,
he played immediately and got
started off on a good foot being
named all-MWC honorable men-
tion as a punter as a freshman
while also handling kickoff
duties. He has played in all but
one game in his career and devel-
oped into one of the best punters

Womens soccer
begins tournament
games after
successful season
The Cougars were led in
goals by Michelle Murphy and
Jessica Ringwood, who each
scored eight and with Carlie
Payne Holmoe and Jaiden
Thornock each contributing
six. Holmoe led the team with
nine assists with Murphy add-
ing seven.
Regular season awards and
recognitions included Michelle
Murphy being named as the
All-WCC and All-American
freshman of the year. Murphy
was joined by teammates Cloee
Colohan, Lindsi Lisonbee
Cutshall and Erica Owens
on the All-WCC First Team
with Jaiden Thornock, Car-
lee Payne Holmoe and Jessica
Ringwood earning All-WCC
Second Team honors. Owens
was named to the All-America
Second Team, and two-time
All-American Cutshall was
named to the All-America
Third Team. Coach Jennifer
Rockwood was also named the
WCC coach of the year.
After completing a miracu-
lous season, the Cougars were
rewarded Monday as the NCAA
unveiled their tournament
brackets with BYU as a No. 1
seed. This means the Cougars
will likely host all postsea-
son games until the fnal four,
should the Cougars make it to
that point.
It has been such a fantas-
tic year and were so pleased to
represent the West Coast Con-
ference, Rockwood said in a
press release. Earning a No. 1
seed, obviously, is a big deal and
the girls have worked so hard
for this. It doesnt matter who
we play, were just ready and I
know these girls will play their
hardest.
Having not lost at home all
year, the Cougars cant be more
excited about the prospect of
playing at home, especially as
the competition strengthens in
the tournament.
Its a really big deal, Olson
said. South Field is one of the
toughest places to play in the
country and its never easy to
come in and get a win. Hon-
estly, its crucial to our success
in the postseason and it really
worked out for us that we will
have so many home games,
assuming we get past the first
round. Its a huge advantage
for us.
The Cougars frst tourna-
ment game will be against in-
state rival Utah State on Friday
at 6 p.m. at South Field. The Cou-
gars beat the Aggies earlier in
the year in Logan 10.

Real Soccer fans
embrace new chant
The idea was brought to us
directly from Branden, who
has been a huge fan and advo-
cate for Real Salt Lake for quite
some time, Zastowny said. He
spoke with us here at Rio Tinto
(Stadium) and let us know
he was working on a possible
chant. When it was fnalized
he brought it to us, and we all
felt it was something that could
work.
With help from film
maker Isaac Halasima, RSL
fans and staff, Steineckert shot a
video with the new chant called
Believe and uploaded it on
YouTube on Feb. 13, 2012. The
video features Steineckert walk-
ing next to Rio Tinto Stadium
singing the chant he wrote,
while RSL fans follow him and
sing along. Within three days,
the video had more than 20,000
views.
Immediately when it came
out on YouTube it had an incred-
ible number of hits, Zastowny
said. It really got out there fast,
and people grabbed a hold of it
quickly. When we frst played
it in the stadium last year, it
was like a light switch because
everyone already knew it. It was
a great feeling to hear all the
20,000 people singing it, even
after we stopped playing it over
the PA system.
The chant became an
instant classic and has
quickly been adopted into the
Real Salt Lake culture. Before
the start of each match and after
every goal scored, the chant is
played to fre up the fan base and
increase the energy.
We have a large number of
fans that come
from all dif-
ferent demo-
g r a p h i c s ,
Zastowny said.
We have col-
lege students,
middle- aged
people, fami-
lies and even
some of the
older crowd
who come to
the games,
and this chant
has been able
to link all
these groups
together.
R S L
defender Tony
Beltran also
sees the chant
as a way to
unify the fan
base.
We have
always had
excellent fan support, but the
chant has definitely helped
unite us, Beltran said. Its nice
to see how much the fans have
welcomed the new chant and
taken it in. There is no greater
feeling than walking out and
hearing the fans sing that song.
Real Salt Lake players
like Nat Borchers have seen
the culture of the team com-
pletely change with the intro-
duction of the new song.
The chant overall has been
really positive and has become
a part of the Real Salt Lake
culture, Borchers said. Its
great to have the chant before
the game because it gets every-
body on the
same page
and ready
for kickoff.
The crowd
is cheering
for the team,
and it gets us
going.
St ei neck-
ert still has
season tick-
ets and can
be seen in the
crowd cheer-
ing on Real
Salt Lake.
As a musi-
cian I am used
to that feel-
ing of playing
in front of a
big audience
and have
them sing
your song,
but it was
never some-
thing I solely wrote and cre-
ated, Steineckert said. To
be in the stadium and hear so
many strangers that I have
never met singing a song I wrote
in my house is really surreal.
The original YouTube video
Believe now stands at more
than 135,000.

The Real Salt Lake soccer team served as the inspiration for a new chant by musician Branden
Stenecker.
We have always had

excellent fan support,

BYU to tackle Idaho for seasons final home game
BYU will take on the Idaho Vandals on senior night, Nov. 10
B y A L E X A N D E R B A L D W I N
Senior night can be a bitter-
sweet game every year. Its the
nal home game of the regular
season, and the last time fans
will be able to see some of the
players they have grown accus-
tomed to seeing in Provo.
This year, fans will say goodbye
to 23 seniors as the BYU Cougars
welcome the University of Idaho
Vandals on Saturday at 8:15 p.m.
in LaVell Edwards Stadium for
the nal home game of 2012.
The Vandals have had little suc-
cess recently and are in a state of
limbo as their conference, the
WAC, will no longer be hosting
football after this season.
Idaho has continued to be on
the decline in 2012, amassing a
18 record that has seen their
head coach, Robb Akey, get
red, a 33 year old get placed as
interim head coach and a start-
ing quarterback dismissed from
the team.
They now use both backup
quarterbacks, senior Logan
Bushnell and junior Taylor
Davis, and both players are
expected to get playing time in
the game against the Cougars.
BYUs aggressive defense
should continue to shine this
weekend facing a Vandal offense
that ranks 120th in scoring and
112th in total offense this season.
The Vandal defense has not
fared any better, ranking 116th
in total defense and 118th in
scoring defense, giving up 42
points per contest.
Idaho is a team that has
struggled with consistency on
both offense and defense, Head
Coach Bronco Mendenhall
said after practice Monday. In
stretches, they show capabil-
ity and then theyve had issues
turning over the football and
maintaining a high level of exe-
cution from the beginning of the
game to the end of the game, and
I think thats been their biggest
challenge.
The Cougars are sitting with a
record of 54 coming off of a bye-
week and need one more win to
become eligible for the San Diego
Credit County Poinsettia Bowl.
The Poinsettia Bowl pits BYU
against a team from the MWC
that currently has four teams
tied atop the rankings with one
loss a piece.
The Cougars do not seem to
be too focused on needing this
win to become bowl eligible.
However, as their remaining
two games after the Vandals are
also games many expect to be
Cougar wins.
Mendenhall expects the team
to focus on improving and prog-
ress rather than worrying about
becoming bowl eligible.
We have a lot of work still to
do, he said.
Cougar offensive lineman
Braden Hansen, a staple in the
BYU line, is still recovering
from his injury and Mendenhall
gave no denitive time frame for
his return.

The social media debate
B y C A M I D AY L E Y
Every four years, the nations citizens
can form and exert political opinions by
casting their votes for the next president.
These opinions spill over from the voting
booths to conversation, clothing choices
and, most permanently, social media.
Many people have spent the past elec-
tion season posting their opinions on their
Facebook, Twitter and other social media
accounts.
Joanna Pace, a dual major in elemen-
tary and early childhood education, most
recently from Belgium, said she is sick of
the political statements clouding her Face-
book page.
I dont think that most of my friends
are very educated about whats going on.
Their comments dont mean much to me.
Id rather research it myself, Pace said.
She said the posts on her Facebook feed
are filled with comments from her friends,
who bash the opponent they dont support
while not saying anything constructive
about the candidate they endorse.
If they said, I like this candidate,
I might be a little bit more prone to be
interested, Pace said.
Whitney DeMille, a food science major
from La Habra, Calif., doesnt tolerate
political banter on her Facebook profile.
De-friending them is my first reaction,
DeMille said.
Jessica Callahan, a graduate in physi-
ological and developmental biology from
Oxnard, Calif., decided to write her more
liberal political thoughts in her blog.
Because my family doesnt know my blog
exists, I felt it was safer, Callahan said. I
was worried, because I have a lot of conser-
vative friends, how their personal opinion
of me would change.
Callahan felt that posting her politi-
cal opinion in her blog was an acceptable
social media form.
On Facebook, you should censor your-
self a little bit more, Callahan said.
There should never be any remarks that
are generic statements (about either politi-
cal party) that arent actually factual.
See MEDIA on Page 16
B y L A U R E N M O R A N
People lined up at election polls
across the United States on Tuesday to
vote for their candidate of choice. As
the votes are tallied, news afliates
painted states either in red or blue,
signifying the winning candidate of
that state.
BYU students have differing opin-
ions on the signicance of red (for the
Republican party) and blue (for the
Democratic party) as symbolic repre-
sentations of their political afliation.
Whitney Wing, a senior from San
Diego, Calif., majoring in economics,
said she does not connect with her
blue home state.
I come from a very, very blue state,
she said. I think it made me more of a
moderate Republican, whereas living
in Utah made me a more conservative
Republican. I would denitely say that
where you live has a huge impact on
your political views.

Fans talk about
two highly
anticipated movies
B y J A C O B R O B E R T S
The movie industrys holiday season
has been dominated by Harry Potter for
many of the last ten years, but this sea-
son, a new saga and a returning one will
pull in the crowds.
Two of the most anticipated lms
this year are ones that have capti-
vated movie and literary audiences for
decades: The Hobbit and the newest
James Bond lm, Skyfall.
Part of it is just timing, since its the
50 Year anniversary of James Bond,
Cody Clark, the Daily Heralds lm and
features writer, said. Its the kind of
thing that sells itself.
Some film critics say Skyfall
will be the best Bond film ever,
rivaled only by the first Daniel
Craig/Bond flick, Casino Royale.

MOVIES
The Hobbit and
Skyfall are the
must-see films this
holiday season
This could prove true, nan-
cially speaking, as the lms
foreign release grossed over
$96.6 million opening weekend,
according to Box Ofce Mojo.
Clark says one factor playing
into the lms hype is the fran-
chises choice of director, Sam
Mendes, famous for the 2000
winner of ve Academy Awards,
American Beauty. Mendes
style has put a new and fresh
spin to the Bond lms. Clark also
said actor Daniel Craig has ener-
gized 007 like no one else since
Sean Connery and made him a
more hard-nosed, edgy and dan-
gerous character.
Anthony Calderon, a com-
puter science major from Los
Angeles, Calif., agreed with
Clark, saying that Craig does a
better job than previous Bonds
of portraying a more realistic
character.
I think Daniel Craig does
a really good job of making it
believable, not only as a super-
hero-type person, but also as
a character, more like a real
person, Calderon said.
While Calderon is excited for
Skyfall, which comes out on
Nov. 9, hes even more excited
for The Hobbit.
Im actually a really big fan
of the franchise. Ive read the
books. I was really impressed
with the Lord of the Rings mov-
ies, so I think Ill be thoroughly
entertained, Calderon said.
Calderon said hes excited that
director Peter Jackson made the
book into three lms, as they
will be able to show all of the
details of the Hobbits adventure.
I have faith in Peter Jackson
I think hes the man for the
job, Calderon said.
However, some fans are a lit-
tle nervous about the relatively
small Tolkien book being pro-
duced into three movies.
Its not a very long book, so
I dont know how theyre going
to split it into three movies, Jef-
frey Kowallis, a sophomore from
Provo and dedicated Tolkien fan,
said. Im worried they might
add some stuff thats not there
to ll the time.
Kowallis and everyone else
will have to wait for the results
until Dec. 14, when the rst
installment of Jacksons new
trilogy hits theaters.

MEDIA
Facebook, Twitter
and other social
media accounts
find their place in
this years election
Its OK to post articles and
express, in a non-confronta-
tional manner, your political
beliefs.
Steve Warner, a political sci-
ence major from Orem, said he
felt posting and commenting
on strong political opinions on
Facebook was a good way to get
informed.
When you post about the
debates on Facebook, thats
something that actually matters
instead of your dog in a cute
little outt, Warner said. There
were times when Warner felt he
should withhold his political
opinions. He said he was at a
dinner with a more liberal fam-
ily and decided that the conser-
vative meme he found that day
would best be kept to himself.
Warner said that he never
permanently judges others
for their
pol itical
opinions.
In the
end, it
d o e s n t
r e a l l y
ma t t e r .
W e r e
(students
at BYU),
all God-
f e a r i n g
p e o p l e ,
and we all
know who
will be president in the end,
Warner said.
COLORS
Political colors and
their significance
in the presidential
election
Wing said she believes the
colors red and blue are impor-
tant for branding purposes
during the election. Wing is a
business strategy minor and
said there are strategic impli-
cations behind the use of politi-
cal colors.
A majority of people go off
of brand image and associate
with things their friends and
family are doing, she said.
When you have people asso-
ciate with a different-colored
state, especially uninformed
voters, theyll kind of go along
with what everybody else is
doing.
During the presidential
debates, Wing said she noticed
the color of ties chosen by
President Barack Obama and
Gov. Mitt Romney. Romney
wore a red tie for the rst and
last debate, while Obama wore
a blue tie. Both candidates
changed up their tie choice
in the second presidential
debate, with Obama wearing
a red tie and Romney wearing
a blue tie.
Wing said she shows her
political affiliation through
supporting her candidate of
choice. Wing is a participant of
the 7-Eleven political poll. In a
news release from 7-Eleven, the
company called the poll 7-Elec-
tion, allowing customers to
purchase coffee cups marked
blue for Obama and red for
Romney.
Due to the large Latter-
day Saint population in Utah
Valley, local 7-Elevens offer
7-Election hot chocolate cups
to non-coffee drinkers.
Mukesh Bi ndraban,
owner of the University Ave.
7-Eleven, said he sees more
students come in during the
evening to purchase cups. He
said 7-Eleven offers drinks to
both hot chocolate and coffee
consumers.
At this store, people are buy-
ing more Romney cups, Bindr-
aban said.
According to the 7-Election
website, Obama was winning
by 59 percent, with Romney at
41 percent.
Mike Borgholthaus, an elec-
trical engineering student from
Lusby, Md., was closely watch-
ing the presidential election.
From a traditional blue state,
Borgholthaus said he identies
with Utah as a traditional red
state during this presidential
election.
I think that people see this
election as being very signi-
cant, Borgolthaus said.
Its OK to
post articles
and express
your political
beliefs.

Muse Music Cafe to host Battle of the Bands
Muse has teamed up with Gretsch
to host a competition with lucrative
prizes and a charitable impact
B y J e s s i e A l l e N
Muse Music Cafe has always
made being involved with the
local community part of its
mantra. Hosting a Battle of
the Bands that also benefts
local outreach programs is just
another way Muse fulflls that
goal.
Muse has teamed up with
Gretsch to host a Battle of the
Bands, which will be a fve-day
competition running through
Friday Nov. 9. Four bands will
play each night, and fnalists
will be chosen. On Saturday,
the fnalists will battle to win a
Gretsch guitar package valued
at over $7,000.
Velocirapture is a band that
is in to win. Gary Argyle, the
guitarist, said the band wants
the Gretsch guitars so badly.
We like to play anytime we
can, Argyle said. We always
like the chance of getting new
fans, but this time we can do
that and have a chance to win
some sweet prizes.
Providence Cove is another
band that is looking forward to
the exposure this competition
will bring. Providence Cove is a
new band, and this competition
will only be its second time per-
forming. Frontman Scott Inkley
said the band has undergone
some lineup changes but knows
this will be a great opportunity.
Were just going to keep on
playing, Inkley said. This is
how were going to get bigger
and bigger and get more well
known. We just have to do it one
step at a time, and this competi-
tion is our kickstart for that.
The competition has an
incentive for audiences mem-
bers as well. Spectators who
bring canned food will have
their names put into a raffe for
a chance to win a Gretsch Brian
Setzer Hot Rod guitar in tanger-
ine valued at $3,600. The draw-
ing will be held on Saturday
night. The canned food will
be donated to The Center for
Women & Children in Crisis, a
local Provo nonproft organiza-
tion. Debby Phillips, co-owner
of Muse, is anxious for this
event to be a success. If its the
success Muse is expecting it to
be, Gretsch will tentatively host
another event in the spring.
We wanted to make this a
community event, Phillips
said. The canned food drive,
with a Battle of the Bands, with
a good prize incentive is a per-
fect opportunity. It all goes back
to our goal of giving back. We
really believe in giving back
and doing what we can to help.
We invite all of the community
to help us and enjoy art.
Phillips said putting together
a competitive line-up was hard.
We were looking for qual-
ity musicians who showed
potential, who really knocked
our socks off, Phillips said.
Familiar bands and new bands
submitted entries. We couldve
drawn the competitors from a
hat and done a random order,
but we wanted to create a show
where all the competitors had a
chance to shine for the judges.
Another band competing is
September Say Goodbye, an
alternative pop rock band from
Logan.
Guitarist Colin Greslin said
the band is looking forward to
connecting to the Provo music
scene because of the great
things theyve heard about it.
When we looked at the list,
and we didnt recognize a lot
of the competition, we were
excited for the chance to meet
a lot of cool bands, Greslin
said. Weve heard the Provo
audiences are very supportive,
much like our audiences back
home.
In regards to the charity this
competition provides, Greslin
said the band likes the idea
that music can be used to give
to such a great cause.
The outreach is how we
heard about the competition,
Greslin said. Its an awesome
thing, and were privileged to be
a part of it.
Another band competing is
Eli Whitney, a rock alternative
band from Orem. Drummer
Perry Burton said the band is
most excited for the network-
ing opportunities afforded from
this competition.
Weve done Battle of the
Bands in the past, and theyre
always fun, Burton said. More
than anything, we love meeting
a ton of other really cool bands.
We use shows like this as a net-
working tool. We make friends
that we end up playing future
shows with who help promote us
and well help promote them.
As far as the community
outreach is concerned, Casey
Keele, the bass guitarist for Eli
Whitney, and Burton agree that
the band seeks for ways to give
back.
Weve defnitely been on the
receiving end of charity, Keele
said. We love that music can
offer something like that. Were
ready to support, and were
stoked to do more.

the competition, as well as rules
and information about the com-
petition, visit Muses website.
From
console to

B y J A c o B R o B e R T s
The video game industry seems
to be on the rise as the go-to place
for movie ideas. With titles like
Uncharted, Mass Effect and
Assassins Creed in the works, it
appears the next few years of mov-
ies will be rated M for Mature.
There have only been a few
mainstream movies adapted from
games in the past decade, but it
seems to be a growing trend.
I think one of the main reasons
were seeing more adaptations is
the advancements of video gam-
ing systems, especially with online
gaming, said CJ Carver, a junior
from Royal, Wash.
Carver believes that the techno-
logical advances with gaming have
broadened the audience for video
games, giving potential movies a
huge fan base to start off with. This
seems highly probable considering
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
sold 6.5 million copies in the frst
24 hours of its release, according
to the games publisher, Activision.
I think its a good idea, I mean,
theres defnitely a market for
it, Carver said. I think some
of the storylines in video games
are a lot stronger than some of
the movies that are coming out
now-a-days.
Carver also said he assumes
there will be more video game
adaptations, as they can provide
the flm industry with fresh ideas.
Others agree that the future will
bring more game-based movies.
I think the genre itself is push-
ing more and more toward mov-
ies, said Bobby Luke, a math
major from Canton, Ohio. Games
are looking more cinematic, and
its a natural result of that.
Luke said the success of games
in general only leads to more adap-
tations. As long as there are people
willing to spend money on video
games, there will be people will-
ing to make movies out of them
and more people wanting to go see
them not only gamers.
Games are pushing to a
broader class of people, Luke
said. If you make a movie out of a
game with a great story, it will pull
people into the brand that wouldnt
normally play the game.
It is important to some gam-
ers and game publishers that the
movie stays true to the games
original plotline, though. The
Uncharted movie lost its frst
director David O. Russell, famous
for Three Kings and The
Fighter, due to creative differ-
ences. Sony (and fans) wanted the
movie more like the game; Rus-
sell wanted artistic freedom. Con-
sequentially, fans rejoiced when
Russell left the project.
However, some fans want to see
something new done with a games
storyline in its movie version.
I feel like they would do better
if it was a different story, but in
that same world of the game, Kel-
sie Liechty, a pre-graphic design
student from Evanston, Wyo., said.
Liechty thinks telling a new
story using the games overall plot
would be more fresh and appeal-
ing, rather than merely retelling it
through flm, as long as flmmak-
ers stick to the games basics.
Eating Korean food for beginners
A few things to understand before breaking into an interesting cuisine
B y K e N N e T h B A l d w i N
A waitress brings out a long,
thin plate of what looks like rot-
ten cabbage, little pickled fsh
and marinated potato chunks.
Soon she follows with steaming-
hot stone bowls of soup or skil-
lets flled with meat and onions.
Korean food is starting to
pop up all over Utah Valley.
With restaurants like Spicy
Corea, Fusion and Sam Hawk,
this ethnic food is starting to
turn heads. The food itself can
be very surprising to palates
that are tuned to the American
kitchen.
Matt Hadley, a senior study-
ing international relations,
served his mission for The
Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-
ter-day Saints in South Korea
and fondly remembers his food
experience there.
Eating and drinking are
a big part of Korean culture,
Hadley said. Many Korean
foods are not easy to eat. You
have to eat around bones, put
together wraps or pull things
out of shells. Thus, many meals
are much more of an event than
our American meals are.
Hadleys description of the
food conjures up images of a raw,
hands-on eating experience, but
he insists the cuisine is centered
around two main foods.
The two most important
food items in Korea are rice and
kimchi, Hadley said. In fact,
the words for meal and rice
are largely interchangeable.
A typical meal includes a bowl
of rice for each person, a main
dish and side dishes that are all
shared out of the same bowl or
plate. It is very poor manners to
not eat all of your rice.
Hadley also explained that
there are hundreds of kinds of
kimchi, enough to spur the con-
struction of the kimchi museum
in Seoul, Korea. Kimchi, a type
of fermented cabbage, was origi-
nally preserved to provide food
during the winter. However,
when Japan invaded Korea in
the 1500s, it introduced peppers
to the recipe.
For Koreans, food is a cen-
tral part of their culture, not
just their diets. Stephen Meek,
a senior studying international
relations, remembers a strong
connection between the food
and people of Korea.
The Korean people, remem-
bering an era of starvation fol-
lowing the Korean War, are
eager to enjoy their modern
affluence through enormous
feasts, Meek said. Meals are
communal ventures. Boiling
stews, hearty meats, spicy vege-
tables, rice dishes and the iconic
sidedish, kimchi, are found in
abundance on every table and,
ultimately, in every heart of the
Korean people.
Michelle Lee, a nursing stu-
dent from Los Angeles, grew
up in a Korean household and
understands the differences
between American and Korean
eating.
One of the biggest differ-
ences between Korean food and
American food is that Korean
food has more spices in it and
wholesome ingredients, Lee
said. I also think Korean food
is generally healthier than
American food since there are
more vegetables in the dishes.
Another difference is that each
Korean meal features a bowl of
rice, side dishes and a main dish
such as a soup, stew or meat.
Lee also has some tips for
Americans looking to experi-
ment with dinner time at a
Korean restaurant.
I would go as a group and
have everyone get different
things, Lee said. I would def-
nitely recommend Bulgogi for
beginners because I havent met
anyone that does not love it. If
you are craving a dish that has
more vegetables, I would recom-
mend Bibimbap. This dish has a
variety of vegetables and meat
that are mixed together, and it
is very tasty, loaded with favor.

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

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

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

Weekly five: Things to
do in November
B y J E S S I E A L L E N
Its already November, and
many of you are wondering,
Where has the semester gone?
Thanksgiving is right around
the corner and soon after that
are nals. With so much hap-
pening, its easy to get caught
up in the stressed and busy
lifestyles of being a student.
But dont overwhelm yourself
and make sure to still have fun.
When you need a break, a date,
a chill night or a reason to pro-
crastinate schoolwork, here
are the top ve things to do in
November.
1. Nov. 89: Mormon Media
Studies Symposium, BYU
Conference Center
This year has been deemed
by media scholars the Mor-
mon Moment. Sponsored by
the communications depart-
ment, this bi-annual event
will offer a great opportunity
to look at the whole picture of
what is meant by the Mormon
Moment. Faculty spokesperson
Sherry Baker said the event will
be both fun and educational.
Those who attend will gain
insight into the new and emerg-
ing field of Mormon media
studies, Baker said. The
rare showing of the 1922 lm
Trapped by the Mormons will
make for a great date because
there are no fees.
2. Nov. 9: The next chapter
in the James Bonds story,
Skyfall hits theaters
Casino Royale and Quan-
tum of Solace rocked box
ofces and the third segment
of these action packed lms is
highly anticipated. The movie
will release on Friday Nov. 9.
3. Nov. 1418: Celebrating 100
Years of Magic: Disney on Ice,
Energy Solutions Arena
To celebrate a century of
magic 65 characters from 18 dif-
ferent stories come to life on the
rink. Past intern and entertain-
ment cast member at the Magic
Kingdom and Disney enthusi-
ast, Aria Love Jackson believes
this to be the perfect release
people need from the pitfalls of
a busy life.
This is a good opportunity
for people who arent able to
make it to the park to experi-
ence the Disney magic in per-
son, Love Jackson said. I
believe its important for people
to be able to enjoy themselves
and forget all their worries for
just a night.
4. Nov. 23: Utah Jazz vs.
Jimmer and the Sacramento
Kings, Energy Solutions
Arena
Jimmer fans, this ones for
you. You have the chance to see
Jimmer play again, only its not
in his backyard this time. On
Nov. 23, the Utah Jazz will play
the Sacramento Kings. Scott
Goldsmith, a lifelong Jazz fan,
feels this game will be more of
a Jimmer-support game than a
Jazz fans vs. Kings fans game.
Jimmers going to get more
playing time and will denitely
play better because there are so
many people from BYU who will
be cheering his name, Gold-
smith said.
5. Nov. 30: The Killers to play
at the UCCU Events Center
Since Brandon Flowers
appearance in the Im a Mor-
mon campaign, The Killers
have been gaining popularity
among BYU students. On Fri-
day Nov. 30, The Killers will
rock the stage at the UCCU
Events Center.

Questions
If you were elected
president, what is the
first thing you would do?
I would probably cry because that
is a huge responsibility. I would
have major reforms in education
and take away teacher tenure.
I would try to cut spending in Congress
and lower the income of elected ofcials
to de-emphasize wealth in politics.
