How Thanksgiving Was Saved

November 20, 2001

Did you ever watch those holiday specials when you were a kid? You know, "The Smurfs Christmas," "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "A Very Chipmunk Valentine's Day," "The Berenstein Bears and Arbor Day." I don't know if they still do those things nowadays.

The Chronicle’s View: Providing a Vital College Opportunity

November 20, 2001

Many around the state still look at the University of Utah as the ivory tower on the foothills, where rich east siders get a nice education and the west-siders make their lunch, answer their phones or clean their offices. While this may, in part, be true, it doesn't please U President Bernie Machen or Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, and they plan to do something about it.

Snow Will Replace Benson as Special Assistant to Machen

November 20, 2001

Laura Snow knows a little bit about being special assistant to the University of Utah president. She saw her father, R.J. Snow, fulfill the role during the first part of President David Gardner's term in the 1970s?now she will get a chance of her own.

Soccer Players Say That Coach Was Kicked Out

November 20, 2001

Amy Winslow was the only soccer coach the University of Utah has ever known. In her seven years at the helm, Winslow compiled a 77-53-5 record?a winning percentage of 57 percent. But when she announced that she was resigning (along with husband and assistant Jim) on Nov. 15 at a team meeting?just one week after the Utes were ousted in the MWC Tournament semifinals?some of her players questioned whether it was her choice, especially when her release included the phrase, "pursue other interests"?which tends to imply the decision came from elsewhere.

Alligator Breathing Studied

November 20, 2001

Some European birds can fly 600 miles in a day searching for food. Other animals lie in wait, ready for their prey to stumble upon them. Animals' lifestyles run the gamut. Two researchers in the University of Utah's biology department are curious as to why. How an animal breathes may be an important part of the answer.

Football Will Focus on Its Final Game

November 20, 2001

Most any other year, a loss to BYU, like in Saturday's 24 21 defeat, would mark the end of the season for the Utah football team. The Utes would have time to reflect on blowing an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead, time to reconcile the idea of letting their biggest game of the year slip through their fingers before eventually preparing for a bowl game or clearing out their lockers.

U Student Raped

November 20, 2001

From 1998 to 2000, five rapes were reported to the University of Utah Police Department, according to its 2000 Campus Safety Brochure, a figure which Chief Ben Lemmon said is "extremely low" when compared to other campuses in the United States. The most recently reported rape at the U happened last week.

Majerus Not Happy With U’s Poor Play

November 19, 2001

The final score read 74-55 in the Utah men's basketball team's season-opening win Friday. The Utes' game against NAIA opponent St. Francis was tied once in the early going at 2-2, but the Utes held a double-digit lead from the 10:37 mark in the first half until the game's end. So why was coach Rick Majerus so critical of his team following the win?
