By By Carlos Mayorga • November 28, 2007

With help from students in the U's College of Fine Arts, first-graders at Newman Elementary School will begin learning ballet early next year. Across town, U students will help sixth-graders at Glendale Elementary to create a storyboard of their lives using film and photo.

The Lowell Bennion Community Service Center is celebrating 20 years of service on campus by encouraging others to lend a hand. Over the next 20 weeks, the Bennion Center will be promoting service in the community and among students.

Religion class makes come back

By By Jonathan Ng • November 28, 2007

Students interested in the effects religion has on society will be able to satisfy their curiosity in a new class. A class titled the sociology of religion was first offered in the 1980s, but it was cancelled after the instructor who created the course passed away.

Some advice for winter break travel

By By Dani Kauerz • November 28, 2007

During Thanksgiving break I traveled to be with family, as I'm sure a good portion of students at the U and elsewhere did. As I witnessed, and am now trying to forget, students were far from the only people traveling. Flying is always a nightmare during the holidays.

Winter months mean dangerous conditions

By By Natalie Hale • December 5, 2006

With the arrival of winter comes snow, freezing temperatures and dangerous ice-covered sidewalks and roads. And with the vastness of campus, chances are students are going to have to brave some ice and snow on the roads and sidewalks while the removal crews scurry to keep things safe.

Just make lemonade

By By Natalie Hale • November 8, 2006

Comedian Demetri Martin is the kind of person you'd want to take to a park and sit on a bench with simply to watch people pass by. To him, it's all one big show and gives him ideas for his routines. Wordsmith, amateur skateboarder, break-dancer, unicyclist, pencil twirler, singer, guitarist, trendspotter, writer, artist, poet, Yale graduate, law-school dropout and professional comedian, Martin certainly has a large hat collection.

United we stand

The 2006 midterm elections are over. That means no more phone calls with prerecorded candidates on the other end, no more slimy television ads peddling half-truths and scare tactics and no more billboards with snazzy, insincere catch phrases. It also means that at least one of the candidates you were backing lost his or her race.

Censoring hurt Banned at BYU

November 8, 2006

In response to some common misconceptions concerning the Academic Freedom panel that occurred on the evening of October 27th, I would like to clarify a few issues. It has been stated by some that censoring the name and format of the panel was a good move by ASUU as it likely saved the university from a loss of support and funding by the legislature.

Putting the humanities in focus

By By Beth Ranschau • November 8, 2006

It's 6 p.m. on a Monday night and the classroom fills with 18 students ranging in age from 18 to 65. Spanning six ethnicities and five languages, these are not typical university students--individuals in the program include victims of poverty as well as domestic and criminal abuse.

Danger Zone

By By Cody Brunner • November 8, 2006

Most people have had the misfortune of having a major injury sometime in their lives. That was the case for Utah volleyball player Connie Dangerfield, who tore her rotator cuff in a tournament last spring. For many athletes, this type of injury would have ended a career, but for Dangerfield, her dedication to the game conquered all her hurdles.
