Online service helps aspiring athletes
Youth connect with
NFL players for
NCAA recruiting
B y B R I T T A N Y B I V I N G S
Aspiring football players, from
pee wee to high school teams, can
now connect with present and for-
mer NFL athletes through the online
service, Coached by Pros, to receive
feedback on their performance.
It just made sense to get NFL
players involved in this by provid-
ing coaching and mentoring to the
younger athletes, said Jadon Wag-
ner, Coached by Pros CEO and for-
mer BYU player.
Coached by Pros is an online
service that allows young football
players to upload highlight lm to their
proles and have an NFL player review
their performances and provide feed-
back. Athletes who receive a high over-
all rating will have their prole and
professional evaluation automatically
sent to a list of NCAA programs and are
immediately recommended as Division
1 prospects.
I would have killed to have some-
thing like this growing up, Chicago
Bears runningback and former BYU
player Harvey Unga said. Had I gotten
feedback from NFL players who play and
fully understand my position, it would
have helped me a ton as far as improv-
ing my game and giving me more of an
opportunity to be looked at from differ-
ent colleges and coaches.
The athletes decide which profes-
sional they want to review their footage
based on the professionals level of expe-
rience in their position. Professionals
then evaluate the players in six different
skill sets and give them an overall rat-
ing. The athletes are also instructed
on ways they can improve and develop
skills to become better at their positions.
Coached by Pros is an innovation to
the college-recruiting process. The ser-
vice helps kick-start the recruiting pro-
cess for high school athletes who receive
an overall rating of 3.6 or higher. In addi-
tion, it provides a way for athletes who do
not have the exposure or connections to
get noticed by NCAA programs.
The service was founded by
Wagner, who wanted to help young
athletes from his home in Canada
increase their chances of being
noticed and receiving scholarship
offers. Wagner understood the dif-
culty of being recruited in Canada
and, through his own experience,
learned how to get recruiters
attention.
The site went live just over a
month ago and already has more
than 200 player proles and 65 pro-
fessionals on board. Some of the pro-
fessionals include former Heisman
Trophy winner and BYU quarter-
back Ty Detmer, former San Fran-
cisco 49ers star Garrison Hearst,
Atlanta Falcons jersey retiree Jes-
sie Tuggle and current Philadel-
phia Eagles offensive linemen and
former BYU players Matt and Dallas
Reynolds.
Wagner said it did not take a lot of
convincing to get the NFL players
involved. In fact, they were more than
happy to give back and pass along their
knowledge.
Evaluating game lm for profes-
sional athletes is something that comes
very natural to them because they have
spent thousands of hours watching lm,
Wagner said. Just by sitting down and
watching 15 minutes of a young athletes
game, they can recognize a lot of what
that kid needs to become a better athlete
and football player.
Campaign
advocates
boldness
Bystanders
encouraged to be
voices of courage
B y C A R I N D E L O S S A N T O S
Jackie , not her real name, had
been dating her boyfriend for a
year when the abuse subtly began.
He began criticizing Jackie and
her choices, and then he began
cutting her off from her family.
The abuse slowly escalated until
he raped her.
After Jackie broke up with him,
she was surprised that her friends,
roommates and family were all
glad she left the abuser. Everyone
around Jackie could see the abuse,
but no one had said anything.
The biggest excuse I got was
they didnt think that I would
listen, she said. My family was
probably the biggest shock because
my family knew there was some-
thing going on.
Voices of Courage is a Womens
Services campaign designed to
bring men and women together to
raise their voices against abuse,
even in its early stages. LaNae
Valentine, director of Womens
Services, said that speaking up
about abuse will let the perpetra-
tor know they are wrong and gives
strength to the abused.
Bystanders need to step up,
Valentine said. If youre at a
party and you see stuff going on,
you need to speak up to the people
who are perpetuating this behav-
ior. Let them know its not OK.
Jackie said no matter how you
think the victim will react, you
should speak up. He or she might
not listen, but as more people
speak up, the victim will realize
something is not right.
Jackie now speaks up when she
sees any type of abuse.
It taught me that if you see it,
you need to call it out, she said.
Whether youre a victim of it, or
you see someone else being a vic-
tim of it, you really need to step in
and stop it.
The Voices of Courage campaign
is focused on creating awareness
and empowering men and women
to speak up.
We want our students to under-
stand what abuse is in all of its
forms, Valentine said. Theres
physical abuse, everyone is pretty
clear about what that is. But
theyre a little less clear on the
other forms of abuse. Theres emo-
tional, verbal and sexual abuse,
and we want our students to be
really clear on what all of those
are and to understand that none
of them are OK.
Jake, not his real name, is not
connected with the Voices of Cour-
age campaign, but he believes in
its message. Jake said he does not
consider himself a tough guy,
but if he sees something clearly
abusive or offensive he will take
action.
During a family trip to an amuse-
ment park, Jake was shocked at
another father who made fun of
Jakess autistic son. Jake confronted
the man and said the behavior was
not acceptable.
The man readily admitted his

Ambassadors for BYU here
and throughout the world
B y L U C Y S C H O U T E N
S
tudents at the BYU Jerusalem Center are often sur-
prised to hear Jerusalem residents call out, Mor-
mons! Mormons! We love Mormons!
This goodwill, often found worldwide, is the direct
result of students who participate in BYUs international
programs, performing groups and study abroad and are
unofcial diplomats for The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints.
BYU students can be some of the best ambassadors
for the university and the Church when we live what we
believe, said Cory Leonard, director of the David M.
Kennedy Center for International Studies.
Associate professor of dance Colleen West has heard
reports from missionaries in Belgium who have suc-
cess after the BYU Folk Dancers perform in the Center
Square. Belgians welcome the missionaries into their
homes because they recognize their connection with the
dancers they enjoyed.
Students also make an impact without leaving cam-
pus. Associate International Vice President Erland
Peterson oversees the Ambassador Lecture Series. He
explained that ambassadors always comment rst on the
beautiful setting of BYU; they note the well-kept campus,
how well dressed the students are and the impressive
depth of their questions.
His Excellency Nuno Brito, ambassador to the U.S.
from Portugal, was recently one such visitor to BYU.
Brito was invited because the BYU International Folk
Dance Ensemble plans to visit Portugal as part of its 2015
international tour. Jonathon Wood, of BYU Performing
Arts Management, said tour plans are still being nal-
ized. The folk dancers gave a special performance for
Brito and his wife after his lecture, as they often do for
visiting dignitaries. This is just one instance of BYU
students reaching out to international visitors.
The Folk Dance team always greets the Ukrainian
ambassador with the Hopak in traditional costume.
The Hopak is the national dance of Ukraine, and West
described it as the cultural equivalent of Oh, Susanna
in the U.S.
The ambassadors say, I recognize that dance from
my country, and youre doing it here, West said. You
just watch their countenance change from a pleasant
smile to this huge smile.

Summer drought likely in Utah
B y S A M A N T H A G I L B E R T
April showers usually bring
May owers.
But due to low reservoir sup-
ply early in the year and an early
melt of snow banks, it looks as
though decreased runoff lev-
els will negatively impact the
valley.
According to a USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service
report, the Western states are
expected to undergo dry con-
ditions throughout spring and
summer.
According to the report,
hydrologist Tom Perkins said,
What fell in the West didnt
really amount to much. New
Mexico, Utah and Colorado are
especially vulnerable, because
their reservoirs are at low lev-
els due to sustained drought
conditions.
While there is still a chance
more snow could fall, it doesnt
seem reasonable that enough
would fall to make up for the
potential drought.
Cory Maylett, communica-
tion program coordinator for
the Utah Division of Wildlife
Resources, doesnt think the
state is in good shape for the
upcoming summer.
It looks like the state precipi-
tation averages for this year are
below average. We might be
in for a dry year if we dont get
more rain, he said.
The lack of rain and the fact
that the snow hasnt particu-
larly come down hard, or stuck,
mean an especially dry summer.
Randy Julander, snow survey
supervisor at USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Ser-
vice, said, Its kind of ugly. Our
runoff is going to come really
early, its going to be short, and
we arent going to get a lot of it.
He and other nature conserva-
tionists and biologists are wor-
ried about how it will affect local
wildlife.
There are a lot of people who
dont get their full allocation of
water this year, Julander said.
Were not going to produce as
many crops or as much cattle (as
a result).
According to Julander and
wildlife biologists across the
state, some animals at high
elevations will be okay. There
may not be as much vegetation
for the animals to feed on, but if
it stays warm and dry, we will
most likely have another year
like last year.
Some may be surprised to
learn that 82 percent of water in
Utah goes to agricultural pro-
duction. Only 18 percent is for
municipal and industrial use.
This means there isnt much
citizens can do to help with
the drought. Julander said it is
always smart to conserve water
in everyday use, but because cit-
izens only have a small impact
on states water supply, there
isnt one absolute answer. Being
smart in conserving water helps
just as much during times of
drought as in times of ooding.
New hotel and parking in the works
B y D A N I E L L A S U B I E T A
Provo City and Central
Square properties are collabo-
rating to develop a plot of land
bound between 100 North and
200 North and 200 West and 300
West, a block known as Block
86, to make a more efcient use
of space.
The land, owned by the
citys redevelopment agency
and William Bancroft of Cen-
tral Square Properties, pres-
ently consists of older, empty
buildings and parking lots.
Plans for future construction
are still nebulous, but the col-
laborators talked mostly about
a hotel to go along with the
nearby Utah Valley Conven-
tion Center, as well as parking,
residential, retail and ofce
space use, in discussions held
April 2 and 4.
Bancroft, owner of Central
Square Properties, owns the
whole block, except for one
parking lot corner owned by
the city. The words millions of
dollars were thrown around
the meeting, but Bancroft said
he is unaware of what the cost
will ultimately be; he is will-
ing to work with the city.
If its good for Provo and
successful, it will enhance
other properties I have around
here, he said.
What is good for the city will
also be good for the convention
center, according to Kent Sun-
dberg, Civil Division Chief
from the County Attorneys
Ofce.
We need a hotel and park-
ing lots, thats what the coun-
tys really interested in,
Sundberg said during the
Thursday charrette.
Land planner Sid Oster-
gaard, hired by the city as part
of a team of four from Elliott
Workgroup Architecture, said
the architects will preserve
the residential feel.
We intend to incorporate
residential to honor whats
already there, Ostergaard
said, and not turn our backs
to that townhouse feel
(itd be) a little more dense,
versus a single family. Thats
something that the downtown
kind of needs is that density.
It looks like right now the
residential would be on the
northwest corner, with the
hotels adjacent to the streets.
Its denitely mixed use,
Ostergaard said.
The land planners will
return to the drawing board
and come up with two or three
solid proposals to present to
the city in document format
within a couple weeks.

ABUSE
Campaign seeks to
create awareness
Continued from Page 1
fault and apologized for the
tirade.
Scenes like this are both
common and uncommon. They
are common because people
are often aware of abusive
situations. However, they are
uncommon because few people
take the next step and speak up
against the abuse.
The i ncident at t he
amusement park was not a
one-time event for Jake. On
another occasion Jake was in
a break room when a coworker
made a racially insensitive
comment. Jake calmly told
him the statement was not OK.
The man apologized. Another
coworker was offended that
Jake would speak up and began
adding racist comments to
the previous statement. Jake
eventually had to leave the
room as voices were raised
and tempers f lared. The two
men later apologized to Jake
for their comments.
Jake does not speak up in
simple cases of difference
of opinion, but when he sees
something clearly abusive or
offensive he will take action.
I do intervene for two
reasons, Jake said. First,
because the person might
be incapable of doing (it)
themselves. Second, because I
think our society is a sit-and-
wait society. Nobody else is
doing it.
People may know that
racially derogatory comments
are offensive, but they think it
is OK to joke about such things.
Jokes can be more harmful
because the joking masks the
seriousness of the situation.
Womens Services wants to
empower everyone to speak
up when they see abuse or hear
hurtful comments. Sometimes
people make inappropriate
comments that may seem
harmful. When not checked,
those comments can escalate
to abusive behavior.
Valentine said anyone can
intervene, but it should be
done carefully.
Look at the person thats
being yelled at and say, Are
you OK? Do you feel safe? Do
you feel scared? Because Id be
happy to help you get back to
your house, Valentine said.
Then let the person whos
doing the abusing know that
that behavior is frightening
and hurtful. And I think you
have to say those words and
use those words. Because
maybe they dont have a clue
that its hurtful.
Va l ent i ne s ai d i f
bystanders will speak up
against inappropriate jokes,
comments and behavior, they
could actually be helping
the perpetrator recognize
and change inappropriate
behavior.

One relationship created by

resolved with the help of the
ambassador to the U.S. from
Russia. He had just visited Utah
as part of BYUs longstanding

For instance, the Young
Ambassadors perform for
the Chinese dignitaries who
visit campus. Their history
with China goes back to 1979,
when BYU was the second
American university group to
visit China. International study
abroad Director Lynne Elliott
described how the BYU presi-
dent at the time, Elder Dallin H.
Oaks, sought to make inroads in
China, which was then closed to
the West.
Through some fairly mirac-
ulous things, they were able to
get an invitation to send Young
Ambassadors, Elliott said.
Peterson has spoken to many
Chinese dignitaries visiting
BYU who say they rst met
BYU during those early days.
China had only one television
station then, and the state re-
ran the shows from the Young
Ambassadors, Ballroom Danc-
ers, Wind Symphony and Cham-
ber Orchestra. The scarcity of
Western inuence at that time
may well have helped BYU make
an even larger impact.
Associate Dean of Students
Sarah Westerberg said BYUs
most important contribution to
creating international goodwill
for itself and the Church is the
students it attracts. One Chi-
nese student visited BYU before
applying and was thrilled when
someone greeted her in awless
Chinese.
A native of England, Wester-
berg stressed that students who
represent BYU abroad must do
so well. She has seen Americans
abroad who perpetuate the ste-
reotype of rude American tour-
ists, but she believes the gospel,
and BYU students, can temper
that.
We take our BYU brand with
us, and the gospel integrates to
that brand, Westerberg said.
English major Ashley Bro-
cious was surprised to nd the
BYU brand in Jerusalem.
While walking the streets of
Jerusalem after her arrival to
study at the BYU Jerusalem Cen-
ter, strangers warmly heralded
her. The prominence of the BYU
presence in the Holy City sur-
prised her.
People know who we are,
Brocious said.

BYU professors hear every kind of excuse
B y C A M I L L E P E N R O D
Students can get creative
when they offer excuses for
missed classes and deadlines.
Excuses cover the spec-
trum from good to bad to just
plain hilarious. But as Eng-
lish churchman and histo-
rian Thomas Fuller wrote
more than 400 years ago: Bad
excuses are worse than none.
BYU professors have heard
them all.
One student said, My jew-
elry box got lost in the move
and I dont have any earrings
to match my outt and nger-
nails, Associate Professor
Bryan Hopkins said.
Although her excuse may
seem extreme, at least she is
not like Kimberly Du, a woman
from Des Moines, Iowa, who
faked her own death in 2006 just
to avoid paying trafc tickets.
Luckily, most students never
become so desperate and stick
to comparably menial excuses
about things like finishing
tests on time.
I thought I just had to start
the test by midnight, not that it
was due at midnight, Hopkins
wrote, quoting what a student
said to him.
H. John Pace, manager at
the BYU Center for Conict
Resolution, said that some of
his students have used the
excuse of forgetfulness and
misunderstanding.
Some unusual ones: I
totally spaced out and forgot
to come, (and) I thought you
changed the syllabus, Pace
said.
Students excuses are typi-
cally a result of falling short on
an academic expectation. Ben-
jamin Franklin bluntly stated:
He that is good for making
excuses is seldom good for any-
thing else.
Misunderstandings about
tests and forgetting assign-
ments are the fault of students
themselves, but sometimes late
students will blame their tardi-
ness on others.
Hopkins had a student say,
My girlfriend just wouldnt
stop kissing me and I couldnt
get away from her.
Relationship excuses can
also include crises that occur
between roommates. Stepha-
nie Fugal teaches Health 100 at
BYU and said that she has had
several students blame their
roommates for missing class
or tests.
(A student) said she missed
the test because of a quarrel
that broke out with the entire
apartment, Fugal said. All
the roommates got into a big
ght so she couldnt take the
test. Another girl said her
roommate broke up with her
boyfriend so she couldnt take
the test.
Students have also been
known to give excuses for their
spouses. Fugal once received a
phone call from the husband of
one of her students with an
unexpected concern.
I had a husband that called
and said that my test was too
long, Fugal said. He was wor-
ried his wife might get carpal
tunnel.
Whether it is the fault of the
student, a roommate or spouse,
sometimes students have real
crises and need to miss class
and get extensions on assign-
ments. Anne Turner, a gradu-
ate instructor at BYU, said that
sometimes students are sick
and need to miss class, but they
should let their teachers know
early on.
Students who have real dif-
culties should talk to their
teachers as soon as possible,
Turner said. It just makes
their life and their grade so
much easier and so much bet-
ter, especially if they are stu-
dent athletes or they need
accommodation. Its much bet-
ter for students and much bet-
ter for professors if students
just come forth and talk about
these issues with their instruc-
tors. I take students at their
word. Im not thinking they are
trying to skip out, because most
of the time they arent and they
really are ill.
Betsey Denney teaches ball-
room dance at BYU. She said
that being honest is what is
most important to her when it
comes to tardiness.
My favorite is when people
say, I just slept in, Denney
said. I just appreciate it when
people are honest.
It is not difcult to differen-
tiate between and excuse and
truth, so perhaps excuses are
better avoided.
As legendary UCLA basket-
ball coach John Wooden put
it: Never make excuses. Your
friends dont need them and
your foes wont believe them.
Provo: Most flirty city in the country
B y S A M A N T H A V A R V E L
A new study by Flirt.com
shows that Provo may not only be
one of the most conservative cit-
ies in the United States but also
the most irty.
Flirt.com sought to discover
whether liberals or conservatives
irt more by tracking activity on
dating websites. The website ana-
lyzed the top 25 liberal cities and
the top 25 conservative cities in
the country with a population
of at least 100,000, based on Bay
Area Center for Voting Research,
and gave each a score of up to 100
on a irtation index. While
more politically liberal cities
were expected to be more active
on dating websites, instead they
discovered that the more conser-
vative a city is, the more irta-
tious it is.
The results were so over-
whelmingly in favor of conserva-
tive cities that we cant help but
think there is a strong correla-
tion between political groups and
their willingness to irt, a Flirt.
com press release says.
The average score for conser-
vative cities was 60; for liberal
cities, it was 42. Provos score
was the highest of all at 93. Dar-
ren Shuster, a public relations
representative for Flirt.com, said
Provo ranks so highly because of
its willingness to reach out and
communicate more often than
every other city in America.
Flirt.com called Provo politi-
cally conservative, romantically
liberal.
As the third largest city in
Utah, it lies just south of Salt
Lake City, with a population of
112,000 highly irtatious people,
the press release says. Home
to Brigham Young University,
operated by The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, this is
one conservative city. But, when
it comes to irting online, they
rank number one.
Justin Hales, a registered
Republican, has served as bish-
ops secretary in a Provo LDS
singles ward for two years and
said he feels excessive flirt-
ing in Provo may be fostered
by the homogeneity of its single
population.
Given the conservative nature
of most people in Provo, it is ironic
how irtatious and forward stu-
dents often are when it comes
to dating, he said. I believe
this stems from people feeling
more comfortable and condent
because they know those around
them have similar backgrounds
and share commonalities.
Weston Jones, a pre-business
student, said he thinks political
conservatism in Provo origi-
nates in the religious beliefs of
the majority of its residents, both
of which contribute to the citys
irtatiousness.
Political conservatism and its
underlying origins do make stu-
dents more inclined to date and
want to be married, Jones said.
These people are generally very
grounded and want to live a tradi-
tional (lifestyle), and marriage is
a part of that process.
Alice Corrigan, a double major
in communications disorders and
Spanish, from Greenwich, Conn.,
said Provo is the most conserva-
tive place she has ever lived. Like
Jones, she said there is a huge
focus on marriage in Provo, per-
haps stemming from the religious
beliefs of its population.
I saw someone wearing an
Obama shirt the other day, and I
did a double take, she said. Men
and women irt with each other
much more here than in other
colleges because were not trying
to impress each other enough for
one party or one night were
auditioning for eternity.

Flirt.com found that conservative politics contributed to Provos ranking as the most irty city.

BYU professor receives award
for work with public health
B y S A R A B I T T E R M A N
BYU professor Gene Cole
recently received the Utah County
Health Departments Friends of
Public Health Award for his work
with its Hazardous Waste Collec-
tion Day.
Joseph Miner, executive direc-
tor of the health department, said
the award is given to an individ-
ual or organization outside the
health department that does a lot
of important public health work
for the department and commu-
nity. This is the 17th year the
award has been given.
Miner said over the past ve
years Cole has provided his stu-
dents as volunteers to help with
Hazardous Waste Collection Day.
The annual event allows residents
of Utah County to bring hazard-
ous waste products like batter-
ies, prescription medication and
electronics so they are disposed
of properly and dont pollute the
environment.
One year we had no volunteers
show up to help collect the waste
that was being brought in, Miner
said. (Cole) himself volunteered
and brought students to help, and
it has really helped the event be
successful.
Eric Edwards, division direc-
tor of Health Promotion, said they
almost cancelled the event after
the rst year when no one came to
volunteer. He said Coles students
are the reason they can continue
hosting the event.
He himself comes too. He
doesnt just send volunteers,
Edwards said. I think its cool
that we have an academic profes-
sor who comes and volunteers in
the community with the expertise
he teaches in.
Cole, a professor of public
health at BYU, has worked in
many different areas within the
eld of public health and has
done work in America as well as
in Africa.
Ive been fortunate to have
different opportunities to do
work in so many different elds
within public health, Cole said.
I was happy a number of years
ago to come to BYU and to share
as much of this as possible with
the students.
Cole said his courses, while
mostly content based, give prac-
tical information to students to
not only help them in their pro-
fessional lives but also in their
personal lives. He also strives to
give his students experience in
the eld of public health, which
is why he involves them in events
like Hazardous Waste Collection
Day.
Its an opportunity for them
to get out of the classroom and do
some actual public health work,
he said. Most of the students will
be unloading these waste materi-
als from cars and trucks and sort-
ing it.
According to Cole, the event is
important because it gives resi-
dents of Utah County a venue to
take waste that has the potential
to contaminate ground water.
He also uses the students in his
infectious disease class to educate
Utah residents about the West
Nile Virus at the Orem Summer-
fest. They have a booth and dis-
tribute information about causes
and symptoms of the disease.
Cole said this gives students
the opportunity to share what
theyve learned in class with the
public. By educating the public
about the disease it helps reduce
the risk of contracting it. He said
he looks for as many opportuni-
ties as he can to help his students
gain experience and contribute to
the community.
My philosophy is, if someones
in medical school, we dont wait
till theyre nished for them to
start seeing patients, Cole said.
We shouldnt wait till people n-
ish their public health education
and have their degree before they
start doing public health work
Cole, who also works with the
Utah Asthma Task Force and
Utah County Asthma Coalition,
was surprised when he heard he
was receiving the award, but he
appreciated the kind thoughts
from the people at the health
department.
Ive interacted with them for
many years now since Ive been
here, and theyve just been a great
group of people, he said. Public
health is always understaffed and
underfunded, yet within those
challenges they just do a remark-
able job at what they do.
Cole said the members of the
health department work every
day to protect the health of the
public. He said the recognition
isnt just for him but for the health
department as well because it
sheds light on all the work it does
for the people of Utah County.
They provide a valuable ser-
vice to the community, Cole said.
Ive just always been happy to be
a community volunteer and to be
able to work with them on differ-
ent programs within the health
department and to make available
students.
Email policy changes
for missionaries
B y S T E P H A N I E L A C Y
Missionaries across the
world are now able to commu-
nicate more easily with their
families and friends due to a
change in policy by the Church
Missionary Department.
According to a statement
made by Scott Trotter, spokes-
man for The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints,
Missionaries write to their
families each week and can
also communicate by email
with friends, priesthood lead-
ers and new converts. While in
the mission eld, missionaries
should get permission from
the mission president before
communicating with converts
and others of the opposite gen-
der within the mission.
Previous rules in the Mis-
sionary Handbook stated that
missionaries were only able
to communicate with (their)
family and mission presi-
dent by email, according to
approved guidelines.
It is stated in the Mis-
sionary Handbook that mis-
sionaries are to use email
only on preparation day. You
may use computers in public
places, such as libraries or
appropriate businesses that
offer Internet access. While
using computers, always stay
next to your companion so
that you can see each others
monitors. Do not use mem-
bers computers. If you mis-
use email or computers, you
may lose the privilege of using
email.
All previous rules with
regard to email are still in
place for LDS missionaries
with the exception of mission-
aries now being able to com-
municate with friends and
new converts through email
as well as family members and
priesthood leaders.
Many missionaries across
the world are responding to
this news by emailing their
family and friends in order to
tell them about the new rule.
An Elder Tanner Woodeld,
serving in Australia, sent an
email home that echoes the
excitement of other mission-
aries about the change. Also,
there is a new church email-
ing policy for missionaries we
received this past week. We
are now able to email friends,
missionaries or family outside
of mission boundaries. If peo-
ple from church or extended
family would like to email me,
I would be happy to respond.

[ VIEWPOINT ]
Dont bottle it up
After a wonderful Conference week-
end full of inspirational talks by our
leaders and some forced self-evaluation,
I found myself crying to my roommate.
Im not a huge crier. This is mostly due
to the fact that I tend to bottle up many
of my feelings. I do this even when I
dont realize it and then I
have to deal with them later.
Conference weekend was one
of those moments. Many emo-
tions I had shoved down came
to the surface as I listened to
some of those talks. Eventu-
ally we all have to deal with
our problems, no matter how
hard we try to avoid them.
This experience got me
thinking about the topic of
naivety. Admittedly one of
my biggest pet peeves in life
is that of people avoiding
what is right in front of them.
I realize this is a bit hypocritical of me
as I know that I am sometimes naive.
Its a common trait in human nature to
avoid feelings and situations that make
them uncomfortable.
Personally it makes me extremely
uncomfortable to be vulnerable enough
to cry in front of another person. Ironi-
cally, when other people cry in front of
me, I dont feel uncomfortable in the
slightest, I actually think it is a good
thing that they are getting their feelings
out. Kind of a double standard, I know.
The risk I feel in naivety comes
when people avoid things around them
so much that it blows up in their faces
later. I believe that sooner or later we all
have to deal with those things that are
hard for us. Its important to not bury
ourselves so deeply that its painful to
come back out.
I was recently reading a book for my
Russian literature class called Soa
Petrovna. As the main
character in this book, Soa
is the essence of naivety. Liv-
ing in Communist Russia
during the reign of Stalin,
Soa is surrounded by pro-
paganda and the terror that
surrounded the people of
that time. Despite all of this,
Soa refuses to admit that
anything bad could ever hap-
pen to any good person in her
country, even as those close
to her are arrested, killed
and put into work camps.
Almost until the very end
of the book, Soa refuses to admit that
anything could be going terribly wrong
in her beloved country. That is, until
she is forced into believing by the facts
that stare her straight in the face.
Eventually Soa had to face up to the
things she was trying to avoid. I know I
will always eventually have to face the
feelings I have been avoiding, no matter
how much I try. And you know what? I
always feel better after I face my feel-
ings afterwards, no matter how hard
it is.
After having a good cry to my room-
mate, although it was still hard, I felt
better. For some reason getting it all out
and acknowledging the issue helped.
Talking about it and expressing myself
didnt necessarily change the situation,
but it helped me to better deal with it.
Those things in life that might cause
us spiritual or physical harm are the
exception to this theory. We should
avoid the things that will cause that
kind of harm; however, being aware
and avoiding are two different issues.
Its important to be aware of the those
things in your life that may cause that
kind of harm so that you know how to
avoid them.
We must all conquer the mountains
put in front of us. This is something that
Im trying to work on. Those issues of
conict or the things I have no desire to
face are the exact things I know I should
try to face head on. Instead, as is my
human nature, I bottle and then even-
tually the bottle explodes in my face,
usually at the moment I least expect it.
As I work on facing my issues head on,
I know I will have fewer of these explod-
ing moments and be able to deal with
life in a more positive way. In the end,
this is all I can really ask of myself or

[ VIEWPOINT ]
Just commit already
But what if someone better comes
along? I remember saying these words
to my boyfriend during one of our
increasingly frequent talks about mar-
riage. Understandably, he was upset
and a bit insulted at my question, but it
was something I had legitimately been
thinking about a lot. After
all, eternity is a long, long
time, and I didnt want to be
stuck with someone who was
an eight out of 10 when I could
have a 10.
Time passed, and I even-
tually found myself saying
yes to that boyfriend as he
knelt on one knee before me.
Almost two years from that
pivotal night, I am sitting
here next to my husband as
I write, thinking about how
he really is a 10 out of 10. I am
so glad I didnt waste my time
waiting for someone better to come
along.
Marriage is a big decision, but its
only the beginning. As college students,
we are faced with more life-changing
decisions than we probably ever will
face in the rest of our entire lives. Talk
about intimidating. Be it a major, a job
or even an apartment change, its hard
to know which one is the right one to
commit to. But perhaps its not about
nding the one right choice; its simply
about nding one that makes you happy.
So it was with my husband. I was sat-
ised, I felt good when I was with him,
and I was happy. It was a slap-in-the-face
moment when I realized I had no idea
what kind of better I was looking for.
My search for the one perfect husband
blinded me for so long that I had a hard
time seeing the great thing right in
front of my face.
Theres truth to the saying that we
spend our lives. We can either spend
our life waiting for perfect
opportunities or we can
spend it on opportunities and
experiences. Waiting yields
nothing, while taking advan-
tage of opportunities has a
great return on investment.
Sometimes were going to
have to take a leap of faith
without knowing whether
or not it will be something
great. But the great thing
about life is that its mal-
leable. We have the power
to make any opportunity a
great one. After all, it will
always be more worthwhile turning
average opportunities into great ones
than waiting for a great opportunity to
chase us down itself.
Last summer I applied for multiple
jobs, all of which I believed I would be
happy doing except for one. Natu-
rally, that not-so-perfect job was the
only one that offered me a position,
and since I needed a job, I accepted.
This was a job at the BYU Creamery on
Ninth, one where I would be constantly
scooping ice cream and wielding spatu-
las on the hot grill. A few nights before
my rst day, I remember crying to my
husband and blubbering out, I thought
I came to college so I wouldnt have to
do a job wearing a baseball cap and ip-
ping burgers. Luckily, he was able to
look past the fact that I was being a total
weenie (like I said, 10 out of 10), and he
reassured me that it wouldnt be that
bad. And you know what? It wasnt. In
fact, my experience at The Creamery
was a great addition to by college expe-
rience. I was happy, I had a job, I made
some great friends, and I can tell you
whats in every one of the 30-something
avors. Ironically enough, ipping
burgers at the grill became my favor-
ite part of the job. I probably wouldnt
be satised doing it for the rest of my
life, but thats where the importance
of committing to other opportunities
comes in. Just because we make a big
commitment doesnt mean its the last
one we can ever make.
At this point I want to make a dis-
claimer. Im not suggesting anyone
should just settle with what they have.
If you sincerely know that you can do
better, then by all means, quit wasting
your time and get out there and do bet-
ter. This piece is for those who already
have something great but just need a
little help seeing the potential in it.
Whatever decision youre facing, if it
makes you happy, stop waiting around
and just commit already.

Improving the lives of others even the ones next door
As someone who is studying in the field of international
development, it is all too easy to become wrapped up in the
trials and hurts of those in far off places. For many, helping
out in other countries is as simple as writing a check. But for
someone like me, I want to live in the country and get down
and do the work with the people making a difference. I have
all too often seen people in this field look down upon others in
the States for not having a heart or not feeling charity enough.
I think that this is the entirely wrong attitude to take. Ser-
vice is service, no matter where or how it is rendered. It is
not uncommon to hear of people who have these sentiments
go abroad and end up hurting a community. Many charities
and organizations go in thinking that they are going to save
these poor people and they will be better simply because of
their exposure to that group.
The question remains though, what happens when those
people leave? If they have not gone about the process of help-
ing the people in a sustainable manner, then they could have
made the situation worse by creating a system of dependence
or making the locals miserable by taking away what they had
for that brief period of time.
So while I do not want to discourage anyone from serving
abroad, it should be done with a studied manner and with pru-
dence. I would rather encourage those who want to go abroad
to take a deep breath and look around them in their own com-
munities. There are plenty of ways that we can help here first.
Even at BYU there are plenty of opportunities to serve. Do
you like horses? Try volunteering with horses for healing; an
organization that uses retired horses in equine therapy for
disabled children. Do you like kids? Try becoming a mentor
or just plain volunteering with disadvantaged kids through
Headstart. There you can help kids with homework or simply
play with them as a way to help ensure that they have a safe
place to be while their parents are working.
Go out and volunteer. There are plenty of opportunities to
make a difference and help the world right in your own
neighborhood. Interactions in your own city can help give you
experience and understanding that can help when you go out
onto the world stage.

Womens
basketball team
gets healthy
between seasons
B y K I M B E R L I E H A N E R
There is, at rst, the unexpected,
exploding pain. Mentally, red sirens
blare. The pain gradually recedes and,
at times, reemerges as recovery takes
center stage. But above all, there is hope
and optimism that fuels healing.
This is the journey of four BYU wom-
ens basketball players experience as
all four have been sidelined with sea-
son-ending ACL anterior cruciate
ligament tears in their knees. How-
ever, each player has learned a lot from
the sidelines.
Stephanie Rovetti was the rst one
to be injured. It happened right before
BYUs rst exhibition game against
Chadron State on Nov. 1. Last season,
she averaged 7.5 minutes and 2.4 points
throughout the season. Despite the
injury, Rovetti has been able to learn
a lot about basketball without playing.
I kind of try to look at it like a
10-month preparation for next season
to watch and learn, get ready for next
season, Rovetti said. I got more of an
understanding of every position on the
oor, which I think is very benecial
for a point guard to know. You really
get to know how your teammates play,
what their weaknesses are, what their
quirks are.
Lexi Eaton was one of the teams lead-
ing scorers before her injury during the
game against Utah State. She averaged
15.6 points in her eight games played
before the injury. As a starter, Eaton
did not spend much time on the bench
prior to being injured, but her time sit-
ting out has been valuable to her bas-
ketball skills, aside from actual play on

College baseball players who are
drafted into a professional league have
a long road ahead of them before they
reach major league baseball. For Tay-
lor Cole, Matt Neil and their families,
its worth it.
Neil and Cole play for their respec-
tive minor league teams hoping for the
chance to one day play in the major
leagues. Neil plays for the Miami Mar-
lins AA team, the Jacksonville Suns,
while Cole plays for the Lansing Lug-
nuts, a Toronto Blue Jays-owned Lower
A team.
Rookie baseball players like Cole
and Neil face ve different divisions of
minor league baseball before they have
a chance play for a major league team:
Rookie, Lower-A, Advanced-A, AA and
AAA. Players can be traded and trans-
ferred back and forth between teams
and divisions, meaning players must
move wherever and whenever they are
needed.
Both Cole and Neil, former BYU
pitchers, accepted contracts with
minor league teams in 2012 and agree
their careers have strengthened their
marriages.
The experiences that weve had
in two years of baseball, most people
wont get in 30 years of marriage, Matt
said of his relationship with his wife.
Your lifestyles not set. A lot of people
want to settle down, but for us, thats
not the norm.
The Jacksonville Suns received Neil
from the Advanced-A team, the Jupi-
ter Hammerheads. They gave him one
day to move to Jacksonville, then three
days to nd an apartment.
We got really good at moving, Neil
said. We have everything we need for
one year in our car. Were on the fast
track for learning how to deal with
life.
Neil and his wife, Laura, are expect-
ing a baby and have moved seven
times within the last year, not includ-
ing hotel stays. Laura Neil agreed that
their lifestyle has many obstacles. She
often feels lonely during her husbands
baseball season.
It denitely has its unique chal-
lenges, she said. During the season,
people know you as the baseball play-
ers wife.
Matt and Laura Neil said it was
important to them to keep their family
together as much as possible. Matt Neil
goes to work from 2 to 10 p.m. every
day for six months out of the year. His
job also requires him to travel exten-
sively during those six months, often
for weeks at a time.
We try as a couple to spend time
together away from the eld, Laura
Neil said. I really try to get involved
with the ward.
Laura Neil mentioned that she has
found a second family in church wards
and communities, which has helped
her pursue some of her most impor-
tant interests.
I havent had to make any
major sacrices, she said. I
can still be a mom and have a
family.
But Matt and Laura Neil
work together to achieve
the dream of playing in the
major leagues.
For us, it really is so
much a passion
that it has
become a
dream of
mine for
u s
to be playing professional baseball,
Laura Neil said. The day that it stops
being a passion for him is the day that
we can be done.
The Neil family wouldnt trade
their circumstances for anything.
They believe Matt Neils career has, if
anything, strengthened their
marriage.
Its not a lifestyle for
everyone, but we love it,
Matt Neil said. You see a
lot of mini miracles in your life. I
can denitely see the Lords hand
in my career.
Taylor and Madilyn Cole also
live the burdensome lifestyle of
the family of a minor league baseball
player.
You never know where youre
going to be, Taylor Cole said.
We still plan to have the
relationship weve always
dreamed of, but weve
made some sacrices.
The Coles are n-
i s h -
i n g
school at
BYU. Madi-
lyn Cole will
soon graduate with
a degree in public rela-
tions, while Taylor Cole is
nishing a psychology major.
When I do go back to school,
it gets really hard because were
not even in the same part of the
country, she said. I always
heard that life in the minor
leagues was crazy, but I never
knew how hard it was until we
actually lived it.
Taylor and Madilyn Cole nd
ways to support each others
dreams despite the long distance.

Life as a professional baseball player
Erica Owens
B y J A M I E M O R R I S
Whether shes under the lights of
the soccer eld or the lights of a stage,
senior soccer goalie Erica Owens is a
natural performer.
In her junior year, Owens produced
77 saves and 12 shutouts good enough
for rst in the West Coast Conference
in goals against average, total shutouts
and save percentage. She was named
to the NSCAA All-West Region Second
Team, CollegeSportsMadness.com All-
WCC First Team and All-America Sec-
ond Team.
She also helped lead her team to a
historic season, going 2022 and being
selected as a No. 1 seed for the NCAA
tournament, the highest seed ever for
a womens team at BYU and the highest
seed in the teams history. The Cougars
made it as far as the quarternals but
fell to North Carolina at home, 2-1 in
double overtime.
While Owens excels on the soc-
cer eld, she is also an accomplished
pianist.
I think piano would probably be
the big thing outside of soccer, Owens
said. If I wouldnt have chosen soccer,
I would have pursued piano perfor-
mance. Ive played since I can remem-
ber. I think I started when I was four,
and it began with my mom just teaching
me songs, and I would memorize them
and practice them. So I didnt ever fol-
low the music, but then as I got older I
started looking at music.
Soccer and piano seem to be worlds
apart, but Owens said it takes the same
amount of dedication and hard work to
be good at both.
I would probably say that (piano and
soccer are similar) with the amount of
dedication they take, especially when
it comes to learning technique as a
goalie, Owens said. I have to spend
a lot of time perfecting everything I do
because you cant really make mistakes
as a goalie. I guess they are very similar
in that aspect.
Owens said her mother has been a
huge inuence on both her soccer and
piano playing.
My mom would get all of the credit
on that because she drilled me and

BYU volleyball regular season ends with road wins
B y T R E N T C H R I S T I A N S E N
The BYU mens volleyball
team once again showed why it
is the No. 1 ranked team in the
nation with sweeps over Pacic
and No. 8 Stanford, nishing off
the regular season with a 214
record.
The road victories should
give the Cougars momen-
tum returning home for the
playoffs.
BYU coach Chris McGown
used a few different lineups
in Fridays sweep over Pacic.
With the regular season title
already won and home court
advantage secured throughout
the conference tournament, a
change in lineup is something
BYU could afford to do.
We played a little bit of a
different lineup, trying to get
some of our other guys some
reps, McGown said. They
came in and played hard. Over-
all, we were a little bit ragged
having been on the road and
having some different guys in
the lineup. We worked hard and
we did what we do and turned
a few points and kept grinding
it out.
BYU handily won the rst
set, leading by as many as ve
points before winning it 2521.
BYU trailed in the second set
2122 before winning four of
the next ve points and steal-
ing the set 2523. BYU went on
to dominate the third set, going
on a six-point run.It completed
the sweep with a 2519 victory.
Outside hitter Taylor Sander
led the Cougars with 11 kills,
while Phil Fuchs and Devin
Young each contributed eight.
Young also had a game-high six
blocks. Taylor Hughes and Mat-
thew Houlihan contributed 13
and 12 kills each for the Tigers.
BYU followed up that impres-
sive victory with an even more
impressive victory at Stanford.
BYU has struggled against
Stanford the past few years,
including a narrow victory
against them in Provo late Feb-
ruary. It appeared to be another
grind it out, down to the wire
match, after BYU scored a sea-
son-high 30 points in the rst
set, barely winning 3028.
The boys did a nice job
tonight, McGown said. We
hung in there when times got
tough in the rst set and kept
battling. Thats been the story
of this team, we keep battling
and nd ways to win.
The Cougars didnt allow for
the match to get close after that.
They dominated the second set,
2518 before pulling away in the
third set and winning 2521.
Stanford is a wonderful
team with great players and is
well-coached, McGown said.
For us to win in three at Stan-
ford is pretty remarkable. We
went in there with focus and
energy.
Sander, Young and Ben Patch
all recorded double-digit kills
for the Cougars, who nished
their regular season sched-
ule off with a 203 conference
record.
BYU returns home this week
to host the MPSF Conference
tournament. BYU hosts Hawaii
on Saturday, April 20 at 7 p.m. A
victory would advance BYU to
the semi-nals where it would
host the winner of the UCLA
Pepperdine match. BYU will
remain at home throughout
the conference tournament
for every match they play. The
game on Saturday will be aired
on BYUtv.
BYU defeats Portland in weekend series after early loss
B y J O N U L A N D
The BYU baseball team
defeated the Portland Pilots in
the nal two games of a three-
game series beginning Thurs-
day night.
The Cougars lost Thursdays
game 117, then won Fridays
game 117 and Saturdays game
76.
Collectively we did not give
up, BYU right elder Kelton
Caldwell said. We did a good
job of not quitting.
The Pilots tallied runs in ve
of the nine innings on Thurs-
day, while the Cougars only
scored in three innings, unable
to erase the Portland lead. Port-
land kept BYU batters at bay by
throwing tough pitches early in
the game.
(The pitcher) just really
pounded the zone and threw
strikes, BYU coach Mike
Littlewood said. I think the
rst inning was probably the
key inning. We had the bases
loaded with one out and just
didnt get the job done.
BYU reversed the score on
Friday, defeating Portland 117
after gaining the lead by scoring
six runs in the fourth inning.
BYUs big hitters were out-
elders Jaycob Brugman and
Kelton Caldwell with three hits
each, as well as inelder Nate
Favero who tallied two hits of
his own. Pitcher Desmond Poul-
son threw seven innings on a
sprained ankle.
(Poulson is) just a guy that
isnt going to give in and he is
going to nd a way to beat you,
Littlewood said. You just love
his attitude.
Jaycob Brugman knocked a
three-run homer to right eld
in the fourth inning to sustain
the Cougars lead.
That was huge, Littlewood
said of Brugmans home run.
You know, you almost come
to expect that from Jaycob
(Brugman).
The Cougars held the Pilots
the rest of the game and played
solid defense.
We had to just keep persever-
ing tonight, Littlewood said. I
told the guys you cant hit a
ve-run home run. Just go up
there, have a good at bat and see
what happens.
BYU narrowly defeated Port-
land 76 on Saturday, battling to
maintain the lead up until the
eighth inning. BYU committed
ve errors during the game.
Littlewood mentioned that
while the game may have been
exciting from the stands, it was
frustrating from the dugout.
It was just a crazy game, he
said. We could go ten games
and not commit ve errors.
However, he said he was
proud of his team for their per-
formance, especially commend-
ing pinch hitter Cody Shepherd
and back-up catcher Collin
Braithwaite.
Shepherd pinch hit for left
elder Andy Isom and hit a
game-winning double to cen-
ter eld, scoring two Cougar
runners.
You have to tip your hat to
Collin Braithwaite and Cody
Shepherd, Littlewood said. Its
just tremendous to see these
guys get a chance.
Braithwaite stepped in for
catcher Jarrett Jarvis after he
collided with a Portland runner
trying to cross home base in the
bottom of the seventh inning.
Braithwaite dropped a pitch
soon after he took the eld and
cost the Cougars a Pilot run, but
redeemed himself on offense
with a base hit to center eld.
Especially after I cost the
team a run with that ball going
through, I just wanted to get on
base and do whatever I could
do, Braithwaite said. I was
just trying to put the ball in
place.
The Cougars will not play
again until after nals, when
they face the University of Utah
on Tuesday, April 23 at 6 p.m.
MDT at Larry H. Miller Field.

the court.
I kind of had to gure out
my role because Ive never had
to sit on the bench my whole
life, Eaton said. (I took on)
leadership and kind of put in
my two cents to help the girls
individually that I could see on
the sideline that they couldnt.
I really spent a lot of time
working on my mental part of
the game.
Kylie Maeda was able to play
for most of the season until the
Cougars played Loyola Mary-
land University on the road,
their second-to-last game of
the regular season. She hit
two shots from beyond the arc
in that game, which tied her
career-high six points in a
game. Her road to recovery will
be built through her optimism.
Ive learned to be more opti-
mistic, Maeda said. You just
have to keep your spirits up and
know that soon youll be back
playing again.
One of BYUs redshirt fresh-
men, Micaelee Orton, also tore
her ACL recently, along with a
few other tears in her leg. Her
injury happened a few weeks
before the end of the season. It
is comforting to these injured
athletes that they can lean on
each other and help each other
out.
Especially with our team
right now, we have four
people who have knee injuries,
Rovetti said. To have three
other people who know what
your body is going through at
the time and being able to relate
and talk about it helps a lot. We
kind of joke about it. We have
our own little Knee Club.
And, they have the example
of recent graduate Haley Steed,
who tore her ACL three times.
She was able to come back from
those injuries to become BYUs
all-time assists leader.
(Steed) survived and came
back, and I think she is an
example that the other girls
will survive, said Carolyn
Billings, the director of ath-
letic trainers. When they
have major injuries like that,
its devastating. All of their
major goals go out the win-
dow. (Steeds) really good at
reaching out and talking to the
girls because she can relate.
The injured players are not
on their own. Along with Steed,
they are able to turn to Bill-
ings, who has helped countless
injured athletes in the healing
process. After learning the
ofcial diagnosis, Billings is
able to help the athletes make
goals to lead them on the road
to recovery.
I reassure them that theyre
going to survive, Billings said.
I usually tell them that they
will probably never know why
that happened. They didnt
do anything wrong. Theyre
going to recover.

BASEBALL
The road to the
majors is long
and winding

Madilyn Cole plans to attend
law school after she graduates
and one day work in a district
attorneys ofce.
Shes a big part of my desire
to be successful in anything in
life, Taylor Cole said. I want
her to be able to accomplish her
goals.
He also mentioned that his
wife helps him stay on track to
accomplish his own goals.
A lot of guys, regardless of
what age, have a lot of distrac-
tions, Taylor Cole said. (Being
married) allows me to focus
and not have as many outside
distractions.
Taylor Cole attributes his
success to his wifes support
from the bleachers.
Baseball is a very humbling
game, he said. The best hit-
ters in the game fail seven out
of 10 times. More than anything,
I know that I have someone to
support me. Just like when she
goes to law school, Ill support
her.
Madilyn Cole admitted that
they didnt have a set way to
deal with the challenges of bal-
ancing careers and family life.
Were really guring it out
as it goes, she said. We just try
to take it one day at a time. Were
really hoping all this sacrice is
going to pay off. This isnt how
its going to be forever.
Of course, they wouldnt give
up their opportunity to play pro-
fessional baseball for anything.
It kind of shifted from his
dream to our dream, and thats
what has made it possible,
Madilyn Cole said. As crazy
and hard and difcult as it has
been, this has been the best year
of our lives.

OWENS

taught me how to practice per-
fectly and taught me how to put
the time towards it, and that
has transferred over to soc-
cer, Owens said. It all comes
down to practicing it perfect,
as I said. Its not the practice
that makes perfect but perfect
practice that makes perfect.
Owens style on the piano is
much like it is on the soccer
field. She can play recogniz-
able pieces including Rhap-
sody in Blue and Hungarian
Rhapsody, which both require
a lot of technical skill and
practice.
Im very technical, fast and
showy, said Owens. Usually
thats what I stick with.
Owens continues to play the
piano when shes not busy play-
ing soccer, and she said she is
called to be the ward pianist in
most wards she attends. Ulti-
mately, this star soccer player
feels that her two loves arent
much different.
I dont know if there is much
of a difference, Owens said.
The rush that I get from both
of them is very similar because
Ive put a lot of time into both of
them. So if I perform well, then
I get this big rush of excitement
like, Yeah, I just did that, and
it was awesome.

Cougar women edge out Gonzaga
B y S P E N C E R W R I G H T
It was Alumni Day Saturday
at the outdoor tennis courts in
Provo, and the BYU womens
tennis team capped off the cel-
ebration by defeating Gonzaga
43 for its second consecutive
home win.
We battled and got the win,
BYU coach Lauren Jones-
Spencer said. Thats whats
important.
The Cougars (99, 24 WCC)
started out
strong in dou-
bles and never
looked back.
B Y U s
s ophomor e
Meghan Shee-
h a n- Di z o n
and fresh-
man Nico-
lette Tran got
the Cougars off to a good start
with their 84 victory over
Katie Edwards and Kylie Peek.
That win was quickly followed
by a second Cougar victory on
Court 2. Another sophomore
and freshman duo Morgan
Anderson and Mackenna Mad-
dox defeated Samantha Polayes
and Melanie Yates, 83.
The girls came out strong
and did well in doubles, BYU
coach Lauren Jones-Spencer
said. We played our game and
did well on courts one and two.
Gonzagas Franziska Koehler
and Alexandra Tallas defeated
BYUs senior Aubrey Paul and
junior Desiree Tran 76, but the
doubles point had already been
decided in BYUs favor.
Sheehan-Dizon notched the
Cougars second point with her
rst win at No. 1 singles this sea-
son over Gonzagas Edwards in a
quick 61, 62 performance.
Meghan played awesome in
just her second match at No. 1,
Jones-Spencer said. She stayed
focused, and I was really proud
of her today.
The next point of the match
came from Paul, who took a 62,
60 victory against Bates. Paul
has now won eight of her last
nine matches, and 14 overall this
season.
It felt
really good; I
just focused
on moving
my feet a lot,
Paul said. I
just wanted
to have a lot
of energy and
play the type
of game I know how to play.
The fourth and nal point of
the match for BYU came from
Nicolette Tran in her 63, 63
victory against Isabell Klingert.
She is second on the team in
wins with 12 in her rst season
as a Cougar.
Weve been ghting hard
the last few matches and pulling
them out, Jones-Spencer said.
With the win BYU is now tied
for seventh place with San Fran-
cisco in the West Coast Confer-
ence at 24.
BYU will remain at home to
play its last two regular sea-
son matches on April 19 and 20
against league-leading Pepper-
dine and Loyola Marymount.
A perfect game
Howell pitches second perfect game in BYU softball history
B y B R I T T A N Y B I V I N G S
The BYU softball team split
wins with LMU this weekend
and Hannah Howell made BYU
softball history pitching the sec-
ond perfect game in a four-game
conference series this weekend
at Gail Miller Field.
LMU had a homerun in the
top of the rst inning in each of
the rst three games. The Lions
came out strong on Friday, but
were shut down by the Cougars
in Saturdays doubleheaders.
The Cougars totaled only
three hits in both doublehead-
ers on Friday evening.
I dont know if we nally hit a
wall where everythings caught
up to us, or what, but its dismal
right now, Coach Gordon Eakin
said. If we dont come back
tomorrow and play the way were
capable of playing and return
the favor, were in trouble.
In game one on Friday, the
Cougars scored only two runs
to LMUs eight, off of eight hits.
Katie Manuma homered to steal
LMUs Sydney Gouveias no-hit-
ter and earn BYUs rst and only
hit of the game.
In game two, the Cougars pro-
duced only two hits from Mad-
isen Robb and Taualii and fell
against the Lions 5-0.
We keep telling them to ght
and not give up to try to get them
to dig deeper, Eakin said in ref-
erence to the
BYU offensive
performance.
BYU came
back stronger
than ever and
had an entirely
new attitude
in Saturdays
games with two
big wins and a
total of 25 hits.
The Cougars
earned their
first win 94
and their second 110.
We had a good talk last night
after yesterday and talked about
what we play for and why we
play, Eakin said. I think that
discussion, and what they found,
worked today because thats as
much determination and as
much heart as weve played with
all year long.
The start of game one looked
more like a homerun derby than
a conference game. LMU hom-
ered in the rst, BYUs Coco
Taualii did it in the second and
LMU again in the third. The
teams matched each others
runs and kept it tight through
ve innings of play.
The Cougars took their rst
lead of the series when Taualii
hit a three-run bomb over left-
center eld. Taualii had 5 RBI
in the game, her career high.
Ive been waiting all sea-
son to break out, Taualii said.
Finally its happening. Ive
been really focused on hitting
these last weeks in practice and
its nally coming along.
Manuma doubled in the bot-
tom of the sixth to secure the
cushion for the Cougars. The
Cougars produced two more
runs for a ve-run cushion while
LMU stayed quiet after the third.
In game two on Saturday, Han-
nah Howell threw the second
perfect game in BYU softball
history.
I knew that
we were ahead
by more than
eight runs, but
I wasnt try-
ing to think, I
got to get three
outs to get a
perfect game,
Howell said.
I was think-
ing, I got to
get three outs
and go to the
house with two
wins.
For the rst time in the series,
the Cougars stopped LMUs rst-
inning terror with 3-up and
3-down. BYU got off to an early
jump-start and put two runs on
the board in the second inning.
In the bottom of the fourth,
Marissa Gordy Bravo smoked
one down the third base line to
the corner of the eld and made
it around the bases for an in-the-
park homerun. The runs kept
pouring in through the fourth
inning when the Cougars won
by the eight-run rule and How-
ell sealed the deal for the perfect
game.

rovo-based musician Ryan Innes performed
on The Voice hoping to be recognized as a
vocalist, but he did not expect Adam Levine,
Shakira, Usher and Blake Shelton to ght for the
opportunity to mentor him.
The Voice, NBCs nationwide music competition,
gives vocalists the opportunity to audition for a chance
to be mentored by a big name in the music industry and
then compete against the other mentors and their team
members. While the vocalists audition, the mentors have
their backs to the stage. They must judge each vocalist by
their voice alone. If a mentor wants an auditioning vocal-
ist on his or her team, he or she turns and claims the new
team member.
All four mentors turned their chairs when Innes sang
his cover of Gravity.
All of that was pretty much a blur, Innes said. I just
had to make sure I had 90 seconds of courage and 90 sec-
onds of keeping it together because Adam turned around
within the rst few seconds of the song. So I really tried to
not pay attention to him because I had the rest of the song
to get through.
After hearing each mentors plea to join his or her team,
Innes ultimately chose Team Usher.
(Usher) is a very wise and well-spoken man when it
comes to giving advice, Innes said. Its been great to see
that side of him as a coach and as a mentor.
Innes looks forward to working more closely with Usher
and learning all he can to become a better performer.
Im used to sitting behind a piano, he said. Im used
to playing in that scenario, so Im not really up and about
and on a stage and working an audience in that type of
environment. So, (Usher) obviously has some chops in
that department and I really hope he can help
me discover a little bit more of what its like
to work an audience as Ryan Innes, not
behind a piano.
Innes, a BYU graduate, credits his per-
forming abilities to BYUs mens a cap-
pella group Vocal Point.
Vocal Point gave me the rst real
opportunity to be a soloist, for one, he
said. Id always been in the background of a
choir or something like that. And then, to con-
sistently play out and to interact with an audience
and arrange songs, I really got a chance to nd a
voice that I didnt know I had through being able to
perform in that group.
Amy Whitcomb, another BYU graduate, also audi-
tioned for and was selected to be on The Voice.
Whitcomb performed in BYUs womens a cappella
group Noteworthy.
Honestly, singing with Noteworthy in col-
lege at BYU was the rst real consistent out-
let for performance that I had, and I think it
helped build me a lot as a musician, Whit-
comb said. So I started to realize how much
I love singing and the kinds of genres I could tap
into. It really did help me start to nd my voice, even
though I was singing in a group.
Whitcomb auditioned with a cover of Kelly Clark-
sons song Because of You. She was selected to be on
Team Adam, led by Maroon 5s Adam Levine.
Whitcombs hope was that Levine would recognize
her talent and ask her to be on his team.

American Idol slides downhill
B y G L E N N R O W L E Y
What was once the most popular
show in America has begun showing
signs of aging this season.
American Idol, which was the
No. 1 show on television for nearly a
decade, has seen a downward slide,
week after week, during this years
12th season. With a revamped judg-
ing panel that includes rapper Nicki
Minaj, country singer Keith Urban,
pop icon Mariah Carey and long-time
judge Randy Jack-
son, increased
competition
from shows
like NBCs
The Voice
and FOXs The X Factor, as well as
a lack of memorable contestants, the
show has struggled to stand out as
TVs must-see talent competition.
Veronica Abello, a public health
major, used to watch the show regu-
larly, but has stopped tuning in this
season. She said the shows failure to
successfully reinvent itself has made
it begin to feel stale.
Over the last few years, theyve
changed the judges so much that I
dont know them, and I dont look for-
ward to watching, Abello said. And
I didnt watch from the auditions
this season, so I dont know the con-
testants either. I just stopped putting
in the effort to watch
it.
Abel lo al so
said younger,
similar shows have challenged
Idols dominance and contributed
to the signicant dent in its ratings.
I think The Voice has had a
big impact, and The X Factor, to a
lesser degree has, as well, she said.
People really like watching Adam
Levine and Blake Shelton as judges
on The Voice. Britney Spears and
even Simon Cowell were big draws
on X Factor this year. Idol sort of
tried with Nicki Minaj and Mariah
Carey, but it hasnt worked.
Caitlin Mitchell, an American stud-
ies major and longtime Idol fan,
said the show still has an edge over
other shows because
of its familiarity
to viewers.
American Idols simplicity is
its strength, Mitchell said. I could
honestly not tell you how The Voice
works after auditions. Like, teams
and battles, but only one person wins?
American Idol has been around for
so long that people know exactly what
theyre going to get: you sing on the
show, America votes, people get
kicked off, someone wins in the end.
Mitchell also said that Idols long
track record of creating genuine stars
in the music industry is something
other competitors still lack.Those
other shows have not produced anyone of
the same caliber as Kelly Clarkson, Car-
rie Underwood, Daugh-
try, Jennifer Hudson;
I could go on and on,
she said.

El Azteca finds
new location
B y S T A C I A WA H L G R E N
One of Provos favorite Mexican res-
taurants which temporarily disap-
peared will reopen across the street
from its old location.
On Friday, March 29, El Azteca
closed shop at its old location on the
northwest corner of Bulldog and
University Ave. and is moving to the
southeast corner of the intersection,
next to Einstein Bagels.
While its sudden news for El
Aztecas customers, Carlos Rubio,
owner and general manager of the
restaurant, said the news came as a
surprise to him as well. The restau-
rants move is the result of new owners
purchasing the property that Rubio
rented from.
The land was sold, and we just
thought we had until August, Rubio
said. Ultimately, its not a big deal.
The only thing was how soon we
needed to be out.
El Azteca has been a part of BYUs
history since 1962. Its rst location
was south of campus on 700 East and
had more of a sit-down restaurant feel.
In 1994, Rubio and his family opened
up a second location geared toward
quick service. After a few years, this
fast-paced and casual environment
started to be more successful, so the
Rubio family let go of the sit-down res-
taurant. Their risky move paid off.
The land that El Azteca and the
Flower Patch once occupied will be
redeveloped as a CVS pharmacy, said
Josh Yost, Provo City planner.
Although El Aztecas last day in its
former current location was March 29,
Rubio said he is excited to open up in
a new space.

Improving a foreign language over dinner
B y S T A C I A WA H L G R E N
Students who live in the for-
eign language housing units
cannot speak English at home.
BYUs foreign language hous-
ing program strives to bring
the cultural aspect of a study
abroad experience to Provo.
When the students are at home,
they are required to speak in
their respective languages,
and they are also required to be
home for dinner Sunday through
Thursday.
This dinner program pro-
vides the opportunity for stu-
dents to learn conversation and
grammar skills outside of the
classroom.
Neoma Williams, a compara-
tive literature major from Rock-
ford, Ill., lives in the Hebrew
house. She said there is a $68
fee per month for food, used for
dinners, in addition to rent. Stu-
dents who live in foreign lan-
guage housing are each required
to make a meal once a week. The
money is pooled together and,
using this fund, the group goes
shopping together to buy food for
the week.
Williams said she has seen
signicant improvement in her
language abilities from being a
part of the program.
It amazes me to see the dif-
ference in my Hebrew, she said.
Im learning how to joke or be
sarcastic in Hebrew, and its
from having to practice all the
time. Its like having mandated
hang-out time with friends.
Malachi Hopoate from
Springville lives in the Portu-
guese house. He said the hours
between 5:30 and 7 p.m. are a
critical element to the program.
Thats the time where most
of the language immersion takes
place, Hopoate said. We talk
and build relationships while
using the grammar skills we are
learning in class.
Hopoate, an international
relations major, said another
critical element to the program
is the opportunity to have regu-
lar communication with a native
speaker. In each house, a lan-
guage facilitator ensures proper
grammar and usage of the lan-
guage among residents. These
language facilitators are native
speakers and help keep the stu-
dents on track with conversation
techniques.
My relationship with my
facilitator is very personal, he
said. I take what I learn in class
and get help from my facilitator
to learn how it is really said.
Another benet to having a
native live in each house is the
opportunity to taste authentic
food.
We eat really well, Hopoate
said. My facilitator often cooks
Brazilian food for us.
Hopoate isnt the only stu-
dent to benet from different
cultures. Jonathan Mahoney, a
linguistics major from Nova Sco-
tia, Canada, lives in the Russian
house. He said he enjoys having
a native speaker live in close
proximity.
He goes out of his way to help
us speak, Mahoney said. He
tutors us, helps us and even cor-
rects our papers.
While many might think the
time restriction for dinner would
be inconvenient, Mahoney said
he enjoys having meals ready
when he gets home. Mahoney
said he believes the time spent at
dinner and living in the housing
can be as productive as a study
abroad experience, depending
upon the work students put in.
You get out what you put in,
he said. I think you can learn a
great deal, but its limited to your
environment. You wont have
certain experiences because of
where you are, but its possible.
Amandine Giraud-Carrier,
an elementary education major
from Grenoble, France, is the
language facilitator for the
French house. She said meal
time is an opportunity for
students to practice in a non-
stresful environment.
There is less pressure, she
said. It makes it easier to com-
municate and helps students
learn conversation skills outside
of the classroom.
Giraud-Carrier said another
reason for the mandated meal
time is so students will leave
campus and be a part of the home
community.
If we didnt have that dinner
time, people wouldnt come home
and wouldnt get the conversa-
tion skills, Giraud-Carrier said.
Foreign movies cant find success in the U.S.
B y Z HA NNA MO L DAG U L OVA
Americans love movies
anything from thrillers to
romantic comedies. But when it
comes to foreign movies, Ameri-
cans are usually more reserved.
There are hundreds of mov-
ies produced every year outside
of the U.S., but most of them go
unnoticed by American audi-
ences. Three major obstacles
contribute to that fact: lack
of advertising, general disap-
proval toward subtitles and
different expectations from
the movie lovers who grew up
watching Hollywood movies.
Kenton Nicholls, a business
major student at BYU, went to
the BYU International Cinema
a few weeks ago for the rst
time in several years. His friend
recommended the movie to him.
I dont watch many foreign
movies, Nicholls said. I went
to watch Kolya in the BYU
International Cinema, and I
really liked it. But otherwise I
dont hear a lot about them, and
its hard to know which ones are
good or bad.
Distribution of foreign mov-
ies can be a risky business.
It requires marketing efforts
without being sure there will
be a return. According to Film
Festival Today, a website that
specializes in the business of
lm and entertainment, the U.S.
audience for foreign movies has
been declining for many years.
Bryan Pearson, a transfer
student from BYUHawaii,
doesnt know many foreign
movies.
The biggest problem, I
think, is that foreign films
arent advertised like American
ones, Pearson said. People
dont realize that other coun-
tries have many of their own
lms, and many of them are
good too.
Paul Dergarabedian is presi-
dent of the box ofce division of
Hollywood.com. Subtitles are
another barrier between the
Americans and the foreign mov-
ies, he said.
In order to make lms palat-
able to an American audience,
they have to be in English, Der-
garabedian said in the maga-
zine Foreign Policy. Thats
why you see American versions
of lms like The Girl With the
Dragon Tattoo. The Scandi-
navian version was perfectly
good, but nobody saw it in the
U.S.
Jake Tall, a BYU student
studying business, is among
those who think subtitles take
away from the enjoyment of a
movie.
I dont like subtitles, Tall
said. And if a movie is dubbed,
I feel like a lot of times the trans-
lation isnt good and that Im not
getting the actual movie.
Another reason why foreign
lms are not popular here is
Hollywoods ubiquitous pres-
ence. Often foreign movies offer
a whole different experience,
and viewers that watch mov-
ies for entertainment purposes
dont know what to expect.
Last year I went to the Czech
movie festival, Tall said. I
watched two Czech movies, and
they were just weird. Im still
not sure what they were about.
Even though foreign mov-
ies dont enjoy the same popu-
larity in the United States as
the American movies, there
are many masterpieces among
them.
BYU International Cinema
director Steven Riep said there
are many online resources that
have reviews of foreign movies
in addition to print publications
such as The New York Times.
On-demand programs like
Netix have a lot of foreign
lms that you can download or
order through the mail. You can
also check YouTube clips to see
if you like a movie or not and
then try to order it. And the Salt
Lake Film Society that runs the
Broadway theater has quite a
few foreign movies.
Riep thinks the key is to be
open to the foreign movies. For
those who dont like subtitles,
Riep recommends not to read
everything.
If the subtitles are done well,
pacing shouldnt be bad. Look
at the whole frame and you
will nd that as time goes by
you stop concentrating on just
words.
Riep says reading subtitles
isnt hard; its just that people
dont do it in the U.S.
Something that is differ-
ent from what you are used to
requires some effort, Riep said.
Its not a hard skill to learn.

AZTECA
Provo restaraunt
gets second wind
Continued from Page 11
I found out about our new
location on our last day in
the old one, Rubio said. We
started moving equipment the
very next day.
Rubio said opening a new res-
taurant, whether its a new loca-
tion or brand new franchise, is
terrifying because people dont
always follow.
Im excited that we can
continue and terried of the
unknown, he said. We n-
ished one marathon and started
another. The place looks like a
Mexican carnival inside.
No ofcial opening day has
been announced, but Rubio said
he has high hopes to open his
restaurant to the public next
week. Rubio also said he will
have a grand opening celebra-
tion on Cinco de Mayo, or May 5.
El Aztecas customer base is
primarily BYU students, like
Katrina Pearson, a family and
consumer science education
major from Highland. She said
she is thrilled that El Azteca is
going to remain a part of BYU.
I can still get my burrito
x, Pearson said. They have
completely different food than
Cafe Rio. They are a lot more
authentic and true to the real
thing.
Although Pearson is excited
for El Aztecas return, she
is concerned about its new
location.
That location has quick
turnover, she said. Ive been
here for six years, and Ive seen
a lot of businesses come and go.
I hope that doesnt happen to
them.
Although uncertainty looms
around this location, Rubio
said he plans to embrace the
opportunity.
I cant let it scare me, he
said. We are going to try to
stay a part of this community.
We want to bring back some of
the things that our customers
loved from the sit-down menu.
Itll be between fast food and sit
down. We are thinking about
doing a rotating original menu
with three or four platters that
were a part of the original El
Azteca.

TV competition
loses viewers
Continued from Page 11
People on The Voice or
The X Factor may be good,
but they havent had a single
winner with the same suc-
cess as anyone on Idol.
Benjamin Pugh, a facility
and property management
major, said even with its
many successes, the era of
Idol worship may be over.
Yes, its been really suc-
cessful in the past, but no
one is watching it right
now, Pugh said. Its no lon-
ger what people our age are
talking about or care about.
Its past its prime and the
ratings denitely show that,
after 12 years, viewers are
nally getting tired of it.

After only about eight bars,
Levine turned his chair and
Whitcomb said she lost her
cool for a second, then felt com-
plete relief and excitement that
her goal of getting his chair to
turn was nally realized.
In that moment, in the
blink of an eye, all of that
started to become a possibility
and become real, she said. It
was like sky-diving. It was just
the biggest adrenaline rush
youve ever felt.
Whitcomb has enjoyed
working with Levine so far
and is looking forward to his
mentoring in the rock genre.
What I love about Adam is
his re and his passion, and he
doesnt sugarcoat anything,
she said. And at this point,
you know, hes not afraid to get
really critical of me, and thats
what I need. I need someone to
take me to the next level.
Innes and Whitcomb will
compete against the other
mentors and their teams on
the show.
Nick Dueck, a BYU gradu-
ate, watches The Voice with
his wife. He is excited to see
some local talent making
headway in the industry.
I think its awesome that
Ryan and Amy made it onto

only thing I didnt like was
that we didnt get to see Amys
entire audition. I look forward
to watching them progress.

We are going to
try to stay a part of

Emergency preparedness on a small scale
B y B R I T T A N Y C A R L I L E
Prophets have counseled
members of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter- day
Saints for decades to be pre-
pared and have a plan in case of
a natural or personal disaster.
Many families in the Church
have taken this counsel to
heart and have put together
emergency preparedness
plans, along with 72-hour kits
and a years worth of food
storage.
Often times, college stu-
dents are challenged in find-
ing a good balance of how they
can be prepared themselves.
Many do not have the monetary
means or space to store a per-
sonal, six-month food supply,
but there are things students
can do on a smaller scale to
prepare themselves for when a
disaster strikes.
Art Johnson, a BYU fresh-
man from St. George, grew up
in a home where emergency
preparedness was a priority.
His parents not only taught the
importance of being prepared
as a family but also how to be
prepared himself.
I keep a case of chili and
a box of Snickers bars on my
shelf as my emergency food
supply, Johnson said. My
dad always taught me to have
basic foods that would provide
the needed nutrients to live
off of for a few days in case of
an emergency. Both chili and
Snickers take little-to-no prep-
aration and are high in protein
and carbohydrates. If I needed
to, I could survive on those two
foods for a few days.
Jenni Whitlock, a recent
BYU graduate, said one of the
most important lessons she
learned from her singles ward
was how to be prepared on an
individual level. Her bishop
made emergency prepared-
ness a priority in the ward,
and in turn it has affected how
she started her own emergency
kits.
In addition to the usual
can of food
and change of
clothing, my
bishop told
each of us to
have enough
cash on hand
in the house
to get us to our
homes, Whit-
lock said. It
added a differ-
ent perspec-
tive on being
prepared I
guess. I never
really thought
about what I
would do in a
situation like
that.
BYU has an emergency plan
as well as a communication
system to reach all of its stu-
dents. Not only does the uni-
versity as a whole have a plan,
but there are also plans set up
by departments to ensure the
effectiveness and safety of the
BYU population.
Blair Camp, emergency man-
ager for BYU Risk Manage-
ment, suggested a five-step plan
for students to have in place in
case of emergency. This plan
includes having a 72-hour kit
that includes food and water,
and to have cash on hand. It
is also important for students
to identify an out-of-state con-
tact who can be contacted to
maintain communication with
family members. It is impor-
tant for students to always be
aware of potential evacuation
routes and
know basic
first aid.
In addition,
Camp said
there are a
few things stu-
dents can do
in advance to
prepare them-
selves for how
to respond
and act dur-
ing an actual
emergency.
During an
e me r g e nc y,
it is most
i mp o r t a n t
to stay calm
and implement your personal
emergency plan, Camp said.
Follow any instructions you
receive from campus and civil
authorities. Help yourself first,
and then identify what you can
do for others.

Slacklining: The latest extreme sport to come to BYU
B y G L E N N R O W L E Y
Slacklining has become a pop-
ular trend at BYU by offering
students a chance to conquer a
unique, extreme sport.
Slacklining, which involves
balancing and doing tricks on a
looser version of a tightrope, has
gained traction with fans due to
the sports challenging nature and
versatility.
Ryan Hansen, a computer sci-
ence major, has been slacklining
for about six years and said he was
drawn to the sport because it was
unique and challenging.
I like slacklining because its
a way to push myself, Hansen
said. Excelling at it is actually a
lot more difcult than it looks, so
it takes a lot of practice and deter-
mination to get good.
Hansen said the growing sport
also gives participants the oppor-
tunity to meet people and make
new friends.
It can be a very social activity,
he said. Most of the time when Im
slacklining with a group of people,
Im introducing them to the sport
and teaching them how to do it. It
doesnt even take much planning
all you need is a slackline and
a couple of trees. So, its a good
excuse to get outside without hav-
ing to go run a mile.
Spencer Pond, a biology major,
was introduced to the sport while
on his mission. Pond said he enjoys
pushing himself to master new
tricks on the slackline.
People notice when youre
up on a slackline doing all these
crazy tricks, Pond said. It kind
of makes you feel like a ninja.
Pond also said that many male
students may use slacklining as a
sort of mating ritual at BYU.
I think a lot of guys here do it to
get noticed by girls, he said. Its
something that can make you look
really cool, if youre good at it.
Melody Wood, a family and con-
sumer sciences education major,
said the sports versatility can
attract all kinds of people.
Its a different sport, and there
are so many directions to take it
highlining, waterlining, tricklin-
ing, Wood said. The competitive
edge and self-mastery elements to
slacklining make you constantly
want to get better at it and try new
things.
Wood noted that although the
sport is mostly dominated by men,
an increasing number of women
are joining in the fun.
At most of the legitimate com-
petitions, there are generally one
or two girls on the roster for every
10-15 guys, she said. But its de-
nitely a growing sport and gaining
a bigger following among girls.
Wood said she believes slacklin-
ing is popular at BYU because of
the release it offers students.
I think specically at BYU,
where we dont necessarily have
vices like drinking or partying,
the sport can offer a good alterna-
tive stress release, she said. Basi-
cally, slacklining is my drug.
Relationship model teaches couples to trust before touch
B y S A R A H J A M E S
Dating isnt always easy, and
often people wish they had a guide
they could follow to help them
through the difculties.
Megan Thorley, family life edu-
cator at USU, teaches a relation-
ship class called How to Avoid
Falling for a Jerk or Jerkette,
which acts as one such relation-
ship guide.
The class teaches that healthy
relationships follow the Relation-
ship Attachment Model, which
focuses on ve bonding areas:
know, trust, rely, commit and
touch.
The RAM shows that there is
a logic to love, Thorley said. As
you get to know someone, you can
start to trust them. As they prove
they are trustworthy, then you
invest more into the relationship
and start to rely on your partner
and the relationship a little more.
Once you are able to rely on your
partner, then you can become
more committed and add roman-
tic touch.
Thorley explains that there are
two rules that go along with this:
1) Each area should be reciprocal,
and 2) Stay in the safe zone.
The safe zone is where no level
is higher than the one that comes
before it, Thorley said. You
shouldnt touch more than you are
committed; you shouldnt commit
more than you rely; you shouldnt
rely more than you trust, and you
shouldnt trust more than you
know.
According to Thorley, part-
ners are in an unhealthy rela-
tionship when any area is higher
than the one that comes before it.
Then they have left the safe zone
and become more open to being
hurt, having regrets and over-
looking problem areas in their
relationship.
People put their best self for-
ward in dating, Thorley said.
They hide the bad and emphasize
the good. It takes three months for
many subtle but serious patterns
or behaviors to begin to surface.
This doesnt mean that after three
months it is safe to get married;
it just means that it takes at least
three months to really start to see
the red ags.
The biggest mistake Thorley
said she sees people make is giv-
ing too much too soon, especially
when it comes to trust, commit-
ment, reliance and touch.
You wouldnt trust a stranger
with your money, yet people trust
an important part of themselves
with the people they date, Thor-
ley said. You open up, become
attached and sometimes share
personal things without knowing
how your partner will respond.
You depend on your partner, or
the relationship itself, to make
you happy or to x your problems.
You get caught up in the romantic
touch, you enjoy the hugs, kisses,
companionship.
Thorley warned that once peo-
ple get physically close to each
other, it becomes difcult to make
logical decisions about whether or
not their partner is actually right
for them. Talking is the most
important aspect to maintaining
a healthy, positive relationship.
Talk about anything and
everything, Thorley said. Learn
as much as you can about your
partner. Take the time to see
your partner in many different
situations and give the relation-
ship enough time to see patterns.
People have bad days and do silly
things, but pay attention to see if
this behavior appears over and
over again.
Natalie Haines, a BYU student
studying musical performance,
knows the model and said she
believes it is a good idea and
relates it to a card analogy her
dad taught her.
Lower cards are like getting
to know a guy, hand holding,
etc., and your higher cards are
like kissing, making out, getting
intimate, etc., Haines said. You
have to play your cards in order,
otherwise youll lose. And, if you
play out all your high cards at
once, you force people to fold.
Haines said she feels this
advice is important because it has
kept her from becoming vulner-
able in her relationships.
Caroline Chaunceys bishop
introduced her to the model dur-
ing a Sunday meeting. Since then
she has used the relationship
model to help her judge her rela-
tionships and decide whether they
are following the healthy track
or not.
The RAM system is the best,
Chauncey said. Right now, with
my current guy, Im probably at
the know and trust stages, so it
would be stupid for me to mack
face with him. (But) because I
really care about him, I have to
go through the system and real-
ize I need to develop friendship
rst before I hook up.
With her success using the
model, Chauncey said she de-
nitely thinks the classes are
something she would benet from
attending. Since learning about
this model, Chauncey has come
to the realization that she might
have damaged some past relation-
ships by jumping to later steps too
early.
Its helped me realize that
intimacy is different for guys and
girls, Chauncey said. Guys are
all about the touch, and girls are
all about the dating, time-spend-
ing experience. I used to think
you could get to know someone on
the rst date, but now I know you
cant. Im always sharing this with
my friends. Its something that I
wish I had known before ruining
some of my past relationships.

A taste of the old country in Provo
Authentic flavors
give patrons an
ethnic experience
B y S T A C I A WA H L G R E N
Authentic food brings India
and Italy to Provos front door.
The Bombay House, located
on University Ave., uses tradi-
tional recipes and a traditional
tandoori oven to tender authen-
tic avors.
It takes a lot of time to do
things the way we do them,
Daniel Shanthakumar, owner of
Bombay House, said. We follow
the old traditions. We grind our
own wheat our and grind our
own spices. Everything we use
is from India except for the fresh
fruits and vegetables, which we
get locally. You cant even nd
food at home like this.
Shanthakumar, a 1990 BYU-
Hawaii graduate who is origi-
nally from the city of Chennai,
in the state of Tamil Nadu,
India, believes that the food
served in his restaurant is not
the only thing that contributes
to the authenticity.
Its like coming into a little
India, he said. You feel like a
part of the family when you are
here.
Allison Carlon, an exercise
science major from Great Falls,
Va., said he loves the Bombay
House.
I love the atmosphere and
the food, Carlon said.
Carlon said she can taste the
difference between authentic
food and knock-offs.
Its different when youve
grown up making those types of
food, she said. It tastes better.
There was this restaurant by
Cafe Rio called Curryosity that
was run by some guys who had
served their mission in India,
and it just wasnt as good.
Terra Mia, in Orem, prides
itself on its authentic Italian
food.
Annette Castreg, general
manager of Terra Mia, said
part of the authenticity is the
employees.
We have
two pizzaiolos
that specialize
in making piz-
zas with our
wood-burning
oven, Castreg
said. A piz-
zaiolo is highly
respected in
Italy.
Both of their
pizzaiolos are
certified by
the Associazione Verace Pizza
Napoletana. This organization
safeguards and promotes the
culture of real Neapolitan pizza.
Castreg said because Terra
Mias food is so authentic, much
of its customer base comes from
individuals who have been to
Italy.
Italians, returned mis-
sionaries and
people who
have t rav-
eled to Europe
love our food,
she said. But
our food is so
authentic that
A me r i c a n s
s o me t i me s
struggle with
it.
J e n n i f e r
Hedelius is
an employee at Terra Mia. She
said the owner is from Naples,
Italy, and insists on the absolute
authenticity of the food.
His goal was to bring a little
bit of home, Hedelius said. He
imports many of the ingredients
we use, or we homemake them.
Even though the restaurant
prides itself in its authentic
food, Hedelius said customers
sometimes complain about the
taste.
Its different, she said.
They often say the mozzarella
is too soft or greasy, but that is
what makes it authentic. Thats
the way it is supposed to be. Its
a thin-crusted Italian pizza with
a fresher feel.
Hedelius also said because
the food is authentic, the food
costs are increased, and there-
fore, the prices on the menu are
a little bit higher than some
would expect.
The food is decently priced,
but it does cost more to get the
ingredients the owner wants,
she said. People dont always
like that.
Although the different tastes
make some shy away from
Terra Mia, there seems to be a
real market for purely authen-
tic food.
Ally Robison, a masters stu-
dent in public administration
from St. George, said that the
authenticity comes from the
way the food is cooked.
It seems as if its cooked dif-
ferently, Robison said. Its
the wood-burning oven and the
ingredients.
Robison isnt the only BYU
student to love Terra Mias
authentic tastes.
Russ Blacker, a masters stu-
dent in business administra-
tion from Chicago, said he loves
authentic Italian food.
These kinds of avors make
it authentic, Blacker said. You
normally dont get a pizza with
pine nuts.

B
etween school and working out
wedding details, an engaged
couple must also fnd a place that
will become their happy home
for the start of their new life together.
When searching for of-campus housing,
there are a few things a couple should know.
Tere is not a specifc process to go through
to fnd family housing because there is no
ofcial BYU contracted family student
housing. Married and graduate students can
live where they wish.
Garry Briggs, manager of the BYU Of-
Campus Housing ofce, said it is important
for newlyweds to remember they need to
go to the Records Ofce, at B-150 ASB, and
change their marital status. Tis simple step
will ensure the university understands they
are no longer a single student obligated to
abide by university housing requirements.
If undergraduate students fail to change
their marital status, they will receive non-
compliance fees.
Of-campus family housing can be
difcult to fnd in the Provo and Orem area.
Briggs said the peak times of transition are
the end of winter semester and the end of
August, before fall semester starts. Students
may have a better chance of obtaining apart-
ments during these times.
Students may fnd more options for
housing are available in neighboring cities
because of the high demand in the Provo
area. If students expand their search to
Lindon, American Fork or Springville, they
may fnd better rates. Of course, transporta-
tion is necessary for commuting. Te Of-
Campus Housing Ofce lists some of the
available openings for family and graduate
students on its website.
In of-campus, non-contracted housing,
the university has no contract and therefore
no requirements Briggs cautioned, Buyers
beware. A couple should have a clear
understanding of the contract requirements
and know exactly what they are signing,
because it may be diferent from the stan-
dards they are accustomed to in contracted
single housing.
Couples who are getting married in
the middle of the semester may go online
or into the Of-Campus Housing Ofce to
request a waiver from contracted housing
for while they are single. Engaged couples
may also request the waiver and continue to
look for housing. One can live in the apart-
ment they have chosen while the other fnds
another place for the short time until they
get married. Tis helps the couple avoid
locking into a yearlong contract for single
students and gives them the opportunity to
fnd and secure their future home early.
I know you cant really plan for those
things, but if youre talking about getting
married, or if there is a good chance that
youre going to need it, just go look, Sarah
Horne said.
It is also important to prioritize what you
want in housing, because chances are you
wont be able to fnd everything for the price
you can aford.
Know that family housing is more
expensive, so dont be surprised, said Janelle
Payne. She suggests rating priorities of the
search to the number of bedrooms, the
location or the size of the kitchen. Decide
what is important as a couple and then use
listings to narrow the search.

hen it comes to of-campus living,
the BYU Of-Campus Housing
Ofce knows the ins and outs. Garry Briggs,
manager of the Of-Campus Housing
Ofce, gives advice about the aspects of
living the college life in an of-campus
apartment.
Things to know about
CONTRACTS
Knowing the contract can help prevent
conficts:
Read contract thoroughly
Understand legal obligations
Ask for clarifcation
Check specifc facility before you sign
Determine term of contract
Verify length of tenancy
Remember, even if your waiver to live
in non-contracted housing is approved,
the university has no contract with that
owner and will be unable to assist you
with any contractual issues that may
arise
ROOMMATES
Te environment in your apartment
will greatly infuence your spiritual and
academic growth:
If possible, meet your roommates prior
to moving in
Listen to one another
Discuss apartment standards, cleaning
chores, guest rules and appropriate
consequences early on
LANDLORDS
Setting up open communication with your
landlord is vital to a successful relationship:
Establish a friendly and workable
relationship
Ask questions about maintenance, pay-
ments and how to report concerns
Te main communicator with the land-
lord should be the person who signed the
contract
CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT FORMS
Use these forms to describe damage in the
unit:
Free evaluation check-in sheets are
available on page 69 or as a fllable pdf at
och.byu.edu
Be aware that when you sign the con-
tract, you accept the unit as is unless
agreed otherwise
Understand current condition and
cleaning of unit
Agreement should be signed by both the
student and landlord
Remember the tenant is bound by the
contract. Keep your own copy for your
records.
When Of-Campus Housing
gets involved
If there are issues with your living situation:
Report concerns in writing to the
manager
Give sufcient time to resolve the
situation
If your manager has failed to show reason-
able efort to resolve the situation:
Report the situation to the Of-Campus
Housing Ofce (C-141 ASB)
Manager and student will be asked to
make a statement
Of-Campus Housing Ofce will facili-
tate a resolution or recommend parties
to the Center for Confict Resolution

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 ghts,
that would be simply miserable in
the middle of December.
The worlds largest water bal-
loon ght 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 eld competitions.
Steven Leyland, a pre-business
major, said campus is less crowd-
ed during spring term, which is a
potential benet.
Campus is more freed up, Ley-
land said. There isnt all the foot
trafc 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 nals 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 benet 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.

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: The worst finals

B y Z H A N N A M O L D A G U L O V A
Tis the season the season of intense
studying, extended hours in the library
and attempts to nish every assignment
and paper in time. BYU students are get-
ting ready for the nals. Some classes
are easy; some require an intense prepa-
ration and a lot of effort. Here is a list of
ve classes some BYU students said have
the hardest nals:
1. Mathematics 119
Freshman year can be tricky for
many students. Many people have sto-
ries about their rst nals week and how
difcult it was. Andrew Ray, a market-
ing major from Atlanta, Ga., said the
worst nal he has ever taken was Math
119 during his rst year in college.
(I) bombed the other midterms, but
then at the nal I sat there for four hours
not knowing what to do, just staring at
this test, Ray said. I havent studied a
lot during the freshman year in general.
But this Math 119 class, I gave up on it. I
thought, If I get a C in this class, I will be
happy. It destroyed me, this class. And
it was unnecessarily hard; the average
in the class was below 70.
2. Economics 110
Sometimes taking too many difcult
classes at once makes students lives
more complicated. It can be challeng-
ing to take two difcult tests in one day.
Tyler Murphey, a history major from
Spokane, Wash., took Accounting 200,
Econ 110 and P.D. Bio all in one semes-
ter. His accounting and economics nal
tests were scheduled in one day.
They are three hours or more each,
Murphey said. I literally walked out
of the Testing Center, bought a juice at
the vending machines and a snack and
walked back. It took me seven hours to
take these two tests. It was hard. I strug-
gle with math. If I see numbers on a page
and they are not dates, it immediately
freaks me out. Accounting was alright
because the math is pretty simple, but
Econ 110 was incredibly difcult.
3. Chemisty 105
Not all tests can be taken in the Test-
ing Center. During nals week, the
Joseph Smith Building is open for tak-
ing tests too. The big auditorium is lled
with rows of chairs and small desks.
Often students cant nd a free seat or
end up sitting in a small chair trying to
balance papers, calculators and tables
on a little desk. Cameron Lundin, an
exercise major from Lake Havasu, Ariz.,
had to take Chem 105 in the JSB.
It was hot in the room, and I got stuck
at the very edge of the row. So every time
someone left or came I had to move my
desk over and let them walk through.
And for my test I needed a calculator,
scratch paper, periodical table and then
a bubble sheet and the test. I had two
things on my lap and the rest on the desk.
I was there for four and a half hours tak-
ing the nal. I didnt look at the grade; I
was so sick of everything by the time I
got done. That was pretty rough.
4. Chemistry 107
Usually one-credit classes are sup-
posed to be easy, even if its chemistry.
Michael Jeppesen, an exercise major
from Rexburg, Idaho, had to take Chem
107 for his major. According to Jeppe-
sen, a lab class that was only worth one
credit took him a lot of time and effort.
You have to memorize procedures
and colors of about 40 different com-
pounds, Jeppesen said. I thought it
was unnecessary to memorize that
stuff. These are things I would never
use. They could have made it a more
conceptual test or procedure test rather
than specic things I would never do
again. Tons of work, tons of time and
all about the things I would never use
again.
5. Spanish 333
And then there are nals that are just
difcult in every possible way. This is
how Alexander Rice, a linguistics major
from Provo, felt about Span 333. Accord-
ing to Rice, it is still the worst nal he
has taken so far.
It was a timed three-hour test in the
humanities testing lab in the JFSB, on
those wretched Mac computers with
buggy software and a maddeningly-
frustrating, inefcient user interface,
Rice said. The exam itself was stupid,
having three portions, each meant to be
done in under an hour. The third por-
tion was the worst of all. We had to write
another 800-word essay about how the
class we just took was important to us
and how it was going to make us a better
person for the rest of our lives. I hon-
estly did not like the class that much,
and it felt meaningless to me. And by
this point I had 10 minutes left to write
another 800 words about something I
didnt agree with, again. Denitely the
worst nal Ive ever taken.
