Helping children affected by SandyB y M E G A N N O A C K

There are businesses to reconstruct, fl ood waters to be cleared and debris that needs to be swept up.

Hurricane Sandy left people without power, with severely damaged homes and with questions of how to begin life again. One organization in Washington, D.C. is helping from the ground up and beginning with children.

The Heart of America Foundation started Opera-tion Buddypack in the wake of Sandy’s devastation.

The program is asking volunteers to fi ll 5,000 back-packs with books, school supplies and basic hygiene products by Thanksgiving. Megan Conrad, a BYU political science major and intern at the foundation, said the need is especially important as the holidays are nearing.

“We’d really love them (children) to have these in hand, something to bring them comfort during the holidays,” Conrad said. “We’d love to accommodate as many children as possible.”

The program is not new. Heart of America Foun-dation propelled the same project after Hurricane Katrina. People who wish to contribute can fi nd the foundation’s address and a list of items on its web-site. Needed items range from toothpaste to mittens

and stuffed animals. Negotiations are underway to arrange drop-off locations in Utah and other states. People also have the option of donating money.

HOA is hoping BYU students can collaborate and gather enough backpacks and supplies so a mass shipment to D.C. can be made. Conrad believes BYU students have the ability even though they are thou-sands of miles away from the destruction and have only viewed it through media outlets.

“BYU is unique in that we come from all over the country and all over the world. Many students know what living on the East Coast is like and know what it’s like to be hit by a natural disaster,” she said. “I

Understanding a clash of culturesMichele Bendall learns

to define herself

B y N A T A L I E S I V E R T S E N

Rocking back and forth to the sway of the ocean and crammed at the bottom of a small fi shing boat was a group of anx-ious Vietnamese refugees, escaping a life under communist rule. This was the sec-ond attempt for one 20-year-old woman who had already been to jail for a previ-ous attempt.

Hundreds of miles later, she landed in Indonesia where she spent more than six months in a refugee camp before fi nally making it to the United States.

Out of resentment toward her changed country, that 20-year-old woman bur-ied part of her Vietnamese heritage for almost 40 years when it was revived by her daughter, Michele Bendall.

Bendall is a graduate student at BYU who recently became a Foreign Language and Area Studies scholar, a scholarship created by the U.S. Department of Educa-tion and awarded to only the most presti-gious of foreign language students.

“They want someone who’s going to take this opportunity and run with it,” said Program Adviser Brenda Chris-tensen, and that is exactly what Bendall has done.

Bendall’s passion for Vietnamese lan-guage and culture grew out of a mild identity crisis. She was born to a Viet-namese mother and British father who divorced when she was young. When she was almost eight years old, her mother remarried a man from Peru, who helped raise Bendall and taught her Spanish and introduced her to Latino culture.

As a Vietnamese-British-Peruvian American, she was left wondering where she belonged, until she came to BYU.

“BYU helped me really become really engaged in the Vietnamese community,” Bendall said. “Right when I came I joined the Vietnamese Student Association. At home I didn’t feel very accepted by the Vietnamese communities, but here I did and they were very helpful. It was herethat I really began to learn about my Viet-namese history and culture.”

Bendall took every Vietnamese class

Provo gaining more popularity one band at a time

B y V A L E R I A C H A O

Local bands are making it big in Provo. Parlor Hawk, a Provo band, is no exception, gaining national recognition. The band is coming out with its second album with the help of fans.

Parlor Hawk fi rst started with lyric and song writer Drew Capener, who teamed up with Joshua James to produce his own album. Once the process started, Capener started piecing the band together to what it has become today. Parlor Hawk is considered

both Indie Folk and singer/songwriter. Its fi rst album, “Hoarse and Roaring,” debuted in the summer of 2010 and became a success. The band made it big on the iTunes Indie Spotlight page as “Best of 2010 Singer/Song-writer Album.” In 2012, “Saddest Song” won the award for “Best Acoustic Song” in the Independent Music Awards.

Jay Tibbitts, the drummer for Parlor Hawk and a senior majoring in jazz studies at BYU, loves how Provo is emerging with many talented and successful artists.

“There is so much talent here in Provo, whether it’s art, dance or music and there are so many talented individuals all around us,” Tibbitts said. “If you think about it, Neon Trees, Imagine Dragons

and Fictionist are all gaining incredible popularity and they started right here in Provo. It is cool that they are putting Provo on the map and helping other art-ists be discovered.”

Parlor Hawk hopes to release a sec-ond full-length album without a label in 2013. To make a next debut possible, Parlor Hawk has a goal to raise $15,000 through Kickstarter, which is a fund-ing platform that helps connect artists with their fans by enabling people to contribute to a project by pre-ordering items. With the money Parlor Hawk raises

Trainer nurtures through the gift of healingB y V A L E R I A C H A O

Grunts, shrieks and tears escape the dancers as the athletic trainer works out their sores. Tight muscles are rubbed out and bones are popped back into place. The session concludes with a big hug, hoping all the pain will be worth it in the end.

How can someone who can extract so much pain be one of the most loved and respected dance athletic trainers at BYU? Ron Nut-tall resides as the director of the dance medicine facility and dance athletic trainer at BYU. The dance department recruited Nuttall ten years ago.

Margaret Tata, a senior major-ing in dance, admires his skillful-ness but most of all appreciates the genuine and caring attitude he has with the dancers and every-one he works with. Nuttall’s goal is to not just make his patients feel better physically, but to also love, care for and uplift them.

“Who else can get you to smile and laugh all while putting you through the pain and torture of getting your muscles rubbed out,” Tata said. “I always feel uplifted

after being around Ron.”Nuttall started the dance medi-

cine facility at BYU, making BYU one of only a few colleges that have a training room specifi cally tai-lored for dancers.

“I came because it was pioneer-ing and a little different,” Nuttall said. “I thought it would be fun to do something new.”

Elizabeth Hasek is grateful that Nuttall decided to become a dance athletic trainer. The impact he has had in her life this past year was so profound that she said she could write a book about him.

“When I talk with Ron, I know that he is listening and genuinely cares about me,” Hasek said. “He is so knowledgable, hardworking and charitable. One of the great-est lessons I have learned from him is the importance of not giv-ing up on yourself. After work-ing with Ron, I always feel very motivated. He helps me see the eternal perspective when things get hard. I think anybody who has worked with Ron will agree that he always makes his patients feel loved, cared for and important.”

Nuttall wakes up at 4:30 a.m. every morning to study the scrip-tures and keep up with the latest research. Bridgett Dedrickson

works as an assistant dance ath-letic trainer with Nuttall in the dance training room and has learned, through Nuttall’s exam-ple, to never settle. She has pushed herself to improve and be cre-ative. Dedrickson also admires Nuttall’s knowledge and love of the gospel.

“The best word I can use to describe how I feel about Ron is respect,” Dedrickson said. “He lives his life in a way that can’t be described any other way. He is a spiritual giant and an expert in his profession. His many talents are a reminder to me that you can do anything you put your mind to.”

Fixing things and the human body fascinates Nuttall. He loves to see people reach their goals and feels honored to be a part of their success, and he is constantly told by many that he has the gift of healing. However, he has a hum-ble attitude about it.

“I have been told many times that I have the gift of healing,” Nuttall said. “I suppose I do to a certain degree, but I don’t take it

for granted. I recognize where it comes from and try to live my life so I will always have it. But that gift of healing comes with knowl-edge too. I’ve continued to study and read every morning ever since I graduated college in 1983.”

It has been almost 30 years since Nuttall became certifi ed as an athletic trainer. He landed a job with NASA and became the wellness director, helped with employee wellness, wrote train-ing programs for the astronauts and helped design the exercise equipment on the space station. Afterward, Nuttall moved on to his own private practice, became the sports medicine chair for the U.S. track and fi eld team in Utah, traveled with the U.S. track and fi eld team and trained Olympic athletes.

“I have the gift of applying knowledge and putting it into practice, and that’s been really helpful, particularly with the human body,” Nuttall said. “The fact that I can fi x things that are broken and can make people feel better is most rewarding.”

Quick and easy: BYU students help others in just a few minutes

B y A M Y H A R R I S O N

One hundred fi fty to 200 BYU students simultaneously halt their busy schedules to serve others twice a month.

For one hour on the fi rst and third Thursdays of every month, at 11 a.m., students stop in Brigham Square for a few minutes to contribute to their school and community. “Sweet Hour of Service” gives quick, easy access to service opportunities such as writing letters to servicemen, making decorations for mental facili-ties and giving cookies and quotes to other students.

Maggie Coleman, the BYUSA program director, said Thursdays at 11 a.m. provide the ideal time for stu-dents to serve because most do not have class during that time.

“It’s hard to get involved in service if you have a crazy schedule and don’t know what you can do,” said the sopho-more from Seattle, Wash. “This is an opportunity where you can walk by and do some-thing good in a short time.”

Ally Wilkin, a freshman from Superior, Colo., par-ticipated in a “Sweet Hour of Service” activity where she placed her handprint on a poster and pledged to serve others and then took a treat and an uplifting mes-sage to another student. She

continues to come back each Thursday to develop her love for service.

“Service is important because you are helping oth-ers and you are developing who you are,” she said. “It is wonderful that BYU has such a community of service and that it encourages service among its students.”

Chloe Sumsion, a freshman from Draper majoring in com-puter science, said she found out about “Sweet Hour of Ser-vice” from her roommate.

“Today is my fi rst time, but I’m going to come back,” Sumsion said. “I love serving, and it’s great to have a way to serve that is fast and easy.”

“Sweet Hour of Service” started in September and will continue throughout the school year. Donna Hatch, the BYUSA executive direc-tor, said she did not know how much this short hour of service would impact the lives of BYU students and faculty.

“I didn’t see how much it would impact people until people told me about how they were blessed,” Hatch said. “We even had a profes-sor tell his class about how he received a quote and a cookie from a random student, and how that quote made his day and helped him with some-thing in his personal life.”

Students can find more information about “Sweet Hour of Service” on the BYUSA website.

HelpSandy leaves kids in need

Continued from Page 1

think they can empathize with that. We’re taught in the Church to reach out to others. This is a very practical applica-tion of that principle.”

Tied down with classes, work and other obligations, BYU stu-dents may wonder if there is much they can do for those in need back East.

“I think as students there are not a lot of things we can do to help with the situation,” said Audrey Warren, a geology major from Mesa, Ariz. “But this is an easy way we can do it because it doesn’t cost a lot.”

Heart of America (HOA) began in 1997 and is geared to help children succeed. Chris-tine Feller, assistant director of development at HOA, said

that while millions of people will need assistance after the storm, children should not be forgotten.

“Children are our future, and there is nothing more important than their future,” she said. “We’re looking at such

major devastation, we want to make sure this very important group of people isn’t lost in this situation.”

CultureFinding a home at BYU


the school had to offer, and in her spare time, trekked through Central America on a backpacking trip, taught Bolivians how to start their own small businesses and helped refugees during an internship at the U.S. Department of State.

When Bendall returned to BYU to begin her graduate studies in sociology, she learned about the Foreign Language and Area Studies Program. She knew that she would have to make sacrifices to be part of the program, but it was the doorway to fulfilling a lifelong dream.

“There’s a lost generation of refugees that doesn’t have a connection with (Vietnam) anymore, and I want to be part of building that relation-ship again, and restoring that even if it’s just the second gen-eration,” Bendall said.

To make that dream a real-ity, she spent three months in Vietnam earlier this year. She had the opportunity to fine-tune her language skills and be immersed in the culture, but other parts of her trip were even more special.

“Being in Vietnam was really amazing because I had a chance to go back and see my grandparents’ vil-lages,” Bendall said. “This

was where our ancestors have lived for thousands of years. I got to go and visit the head-stone of my (12th generation) grandfather.”

She engaged in family his-tory work while overseas and had the opportunity to do temple work for her ances-tors with her mother when she returned home.

Bendall’s enthusiasm for Vietnamese language and cul-ture has already changed one life: her mother’s.

“I think her seeing me wanting to embrace this cul-ture has opened her up more to it and heal from that,” Ben-dall said. “To see that Viet-nam today isn’t what it was in 1975 after the Communist takeover.”

Bendall’s unique experi-ences have also had an impact on her husband, Matthew. He says he was initially attracted to Michele’s ambition and enthusiasm, but it was more than mere attraction that brought them together.

“I’m also (mixed),” he said. “(I’m) half-Taiwanese, half-American. It’s some-thing we’ve bonded over from the beginning.”

For those who struggle with understanding their mixed-culture identity, Bendall said, “You know what, being Asian doesn’t mean that you have to speak the language or that you have to look a certain way, and I think just showing that the way we define race or ethnicity is changing. It’s fluid. You don’t have to be defined by others. You can define yourself.”

BandProvo music scene attracts attention


through Kickstarter, its mem-bers will be able to complete an album and get it out to fans and Kickstarter supporters.

Mark Garbett, the keyboard-ist for Parlor Hawk and a BYU

grad, is excited for the new album that will be geared more toward Indie Rock and expects it to be better than the first. He thinks that Provo is unique because it is a place where great music unfolds unlike any other place. BYU students are lucky to be living in Provo during this fast and growing trend.

“BYU students don’t under-stand that they are living in an incredible music scene with bands that increasingly are get-ting national and international

attention,” Garbett said. “The music coming out of Provo is on a different level than most other places in the country. It’s really an amazing place to be living for music.”

Megan Melendez, a junior majoring in sociology, is one of Parlor Hawk’s supporters on Kickstarter and is looking for-ward to their new album and what it has to offer.

“I think it is important to sup-port local talent to encourage future artists,” Melendez said.

“It’s fun to be a part of something from the beginning and watch it grow into something bigger. I’ve been impressed by Parlor Hawk’s level of playing, expres-sion and lyrics.”

As much as BYU students love going to football games, Tibbitts suggests that they should also explore the music scene going on around them, especially dur-ing the football off-season. Provo has become the launching pad of hidden talent among emerging musicians.

Slash Bash: Pumpkin smashing at its finestB y S c o T T H a N S e N

Halloween is over. Costumes are either put in a closet for another year or donated. Decora-tions are taken down. But pump-kins are left out on the doorstep to rot until their designs are unrec-ognizable. What can be done to dispose of these coveted Octo-ber decorations that suddenly become useless and annoying?

Eli Kirk, the web design and development company, may have a solution. The company hosted its fourth annual Slash Bash on Nov. 1 at Harward Farms in Springville. The festival brought thousands of pumpkins and hun-dreds of people together to smash, shoot, or otherwise destroy pumpkins by any means possible.

Emily Franson, the company’s spokeswoman, who has helped plan and carry out the Slash Bash since its inception, spoke about the reasons for this festival.

“We’re a creative agency,” Franson said. “We have about 40 employees, so we do marketing,

web development, design, strat-egy, branding and social media. We put this on really because we love our clients.”

The Slash Bash set up several booths and areas in which the guests could creatively destroy the pumpkins and have fun in an atmosphere of music, danc-ing and destruction. Among the venues, there was a booth that allowed for the guests to destroy pumpkins with a variety of objects, such as a baseball bat, a golf club, a sledgehammer or a machete.

In other areas, children could go “pumpkin bowling,” where they rolled a pumpkin down a makeshift alley to knock over pins. In another section, guests could line up in a row and shoot the pumpkins with paintball guns, or watch as some of the employees launched a pumpkin catapult and fired a pumpkin cannon.

“When you get a chance to get together with a group of people and destroy some fruit, it’s just random and awesome,” John Hin-nage, a guest from Springville,

said. “It’s fruit ninja in real life.”All of the events were free for

all guests, and the incentive was even greater for the lucky win-ner of the pumpkin pie eating contest, who won a $50 gift card to Tucano’s.

“Everything’s completely free,” Franson said. “You could say we get a profit from having our brand out there in these events, but that’s not really the point.”

After the three hours of pump-kin smashing, dancing and refreshments, the Slash Bash set up for its grand finale. Hundreds of pumpkins were dropped from a large crane onto various objects, including an old Saturn, a Port-a-Potty, a large boat, and finally, a camper set on fire.

“We wanted to celebrate all the crazy fun we have had this year with (our clients),” Franson said in an email. “We’re a creative agency, and we like to do odd things.”

With this new idea, no pump-kins will have to be left to rot on the porch again. Instead, a base-ball bat should do the job.

Food drive: ‘A Slam Dunk on Hunger’B y S T e p H a N i e G r a f f

For a starving college stu-dent, the thought of donating food to others may be a for-eign concept. However, the food drive that will run from Nov. 12 to Nov. 30 will provide an opportunity for students to reach outside themselves and make a difference in the lives of hundreds of Utah families living in poverty.

The Community Action Food Bank has experienced a drop in donations this year, a result of the removal of the BYU v. U of U food drive and the increase of those needing donated items.

According to Utahns Against Hunger’s website, the number of people currently liv-ing in poverty in Utah County is 76,000, up from 62,000 in 2008.

To help cover the shortage, the Community Action Food

Bank is holding an emergency food drive on Nov. 17. Dona-tions can be made at the food bank at 815 South Freedom Boulevard. Volunteers are also needed to work at the food bank on this day.

Dave Smith is the food bank manager at Community Action Services in Provo.

“Small donations add up and they do make a difference,” Smith said. “Think of a sin-gle mom with a few kids who doesn’t know where the next meal is coming from. With food assistance that mom can turn her attention to improving the situation for her family. And did you know that one dollar allows our food bank to pro-vide up to 17 pounds of food? So small donations can help a lot.”

BYU students will also have many other opportunities to help out because this year BYU has partnered with UVU and Community Action Services to collect items from Nov. 12 to Nov. 30. Students will be able to

drop off non-perishable items to bins around campus as well as local businesses. Financial contributions can also be made both in person and online at fooddrive.byu.edu.

Smith said that while help-ing the hungry is an effect of volunteers’ efforts, the real goal is much deeper.

“While the Food Bank at Community Action Services can provide relief, our mis-sion is to foster self-reliance in individuals and families,” Smith said. “So many of our programs are directed at solv-ing the root causes of hunger; when people get back on their feet it benefits the community and the economy.”

As part of the drive, KBYU Eleven will be hosting the “Slam Dunk on Hunger” event on Nov. 13 at BYU Broadcasting to gather food. From 4 to 6:30 p.m., KBYU will be offering one ticket to that night’s bas-ketball game for every three cans of food or $3 donated.

The event will also feature an appearance by Cosmo, as well as prizes, face painting and a tour of the BYU Broad-casting studios. The goal is to collect one dollar or 17 pounds of food to “fill each seat” in the BYU and UVU venues and feed Utah County residents in poverty.

Diena Simmons is the sta-tion manager of KBYU Eleven and is hosting the “Slam Dunk on Hunger” event.

“The event will have some-thing for everyone,” Simmons said. “People will be able to have fun while helping to feed Utah’s hungry during this needy time.

As sports teams inch their way closer to their respective playoffs, the teams are battling for the coveted championship. But there is one other luxury teams are fighting for: the advan-tage of playing at home. Why is this advantage so sought-after? Why is the most comforting feeling for a sports team to be the No. 1 seed and know they will be playing at home for the majority of the playoffs?

The main reason is that it can be a real ad-vantage if the fans show up, cheer their team on and create an environment other teams fear. However, fans can also have a detrimental ef-fect on their own team and on the outcome of the game. The important key is to understand the large impact fans can have on the game, for one side or the other, and then to find the com-fortable, yet powerful, medium.

I don’t think the majority of fans un-derstand how powerful their influence and participation can be. Obviously, the players are the ones who throw the touchdown passes or shoot the game-winning shots. The officials de-termine penalties and ultimately call the game. But the fans have more of an effect than most would think.

Here at BYU, we have a large disparity between our two main sports. In football, we need to come alive; and in basketball, we need to tone it down slightly.

When you watch college football on Saturday mornings, and see the most respected venues there are a couple of constants: First, they all have distinguished themselves by traditions and a fearsome name, which other schools fear to play at. Even at the University of Utah, just 40 miles north of us, they have be-come known as The MUSS (The Mighty Utah Student Section).

In BYU’s first road game of the season, at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, the BYU offense was plagued by false starts and illegal shifts and other pre-snap penalties, to which virtually all of the players attributed to the noise level in the stadium, showing that fans truly can have an impact on the game.

Second, there are very few empty seats. The fact that all of the games are televised either on ESPN or BYUtv is not an excuse to not come to the games and support your team. These other venues are filled to capacity with loud, involved fans.

And finally, the fans come on time. LaVell Edwards Stadium rarely fills up until midway through the first quarter at the earliest. Our homecoming game was frankly embarrassing to see the Oregon State fan section filled to claus-

trophobic capacity twenty minutes before kick-off, while the remainder of the stadium displayed only small clusters of BYU fans here and there.

We need to come alive for our football games next season and put some fear into the hearts of our opponents. Fans can have a huge impact in football, making enough noise to disrupt the opposing offense, causing false starts and other offensive penalties, while causing intimi-dation when cheers reach high decibel levels whenever BYU makes a big play. We have one of the largest stadiums in the West. Let’s use it to our advantage!

In basketball, we are much better. Maybe it’s because of the recent Jimmermania that swept the country two years ago. Or the more confined space of the Marriott Center. We are

already considered one of the tough-est places to play, certainly in the West Coast Conference, but even throughout the nation. Our upcom-ing opponent recently compared the Marriott Center atmosphere to Cameron Indoor Arena — the home of the Duke Blue Devils, one of the toughest places to play in the nation. However, sometimes we go over the top and need to tone it down.

I remember last season, during a game against Saint Mary’s College, how the fans directly impeded the progress of our team. With BYU

fans shouting awful chants toward officials and Saint Mary’s players, and even throw-ing objects on the court, our opponents were awarded technical foul shots and possession of the ball. If that’s not directly helping an oppo-nent, I don’t know what is.

We can have a huge impact on the outcome of the game, with a raucous crowd of 20,000 plus, easily the largest in our conference. Keep it loud, keep it crazy, but keep it helpful to our own team.

We need to find a balance between the zom-bie-like atmosphere of our football games and the rabid wolves-like atmosphere of our basket-ball games. As soon as we find the right combi-nation, we can turn some games to our teams’ favor and become a respected, and yes, even feared, place to play.

A couple of months ago I ran into a dear friend of mine. After exchanging pleasantries and walking along campus, she turned to me and said, “Does it feel that everyone you know is falling away from the Church?” Relieved that someone could understand how I feel, I looked at her and sighed. It seems like more and more of my friends are losing their faith in God and leaving the Church.

She and I have a close friend who recently told us that she’s now an agnostic. Or maybe she’s an atheist. I’m not too sure at this point and she’s not too sure either. For her, there is a war waging inside her heart as she tries to reconcile what she believes. For her, it was a difficult decision to concede that she does not know whether or not God exists — and it breaks both her heart and mine. I can’t re-ally understand it. And her family can’t really understand it either. She has given up not only her beliefs, but the support of her family and her cul-ture all at once.

I will be honest that hearing that my dear friend doubts God’s exis-tence gave me pause to reflect on what I know and what I believe. I looked out the vast window in the law library, tears streaming silently down my face as I thought of how devastated I was for my friend, how alone she must feel.

And then I thought of how good God has been to me. And I could not deny His existence. I have had too many experiences in my life and have felt of His specific and dear love for me too many times to deny that there is a Heavenly Father who not only exists, but who also knows me personally and has a plan for me.

I know that I am becoming a minority on the international and national stages. Religion has fallen out of favor in our society. In many circles, it has become a four-letter word to say you even believe in God, and where saying you go to church is almost laughable. And this in a country that was founded on principles of re-ligious devotion. I’ve lived in a country where atheism is the norm rather than the exception, and America is not far behind in the trend.

But I believe in God, and I’m not ashamed of it. I’m proud to be a woman of faith in a world that I can see is becoming so cynical and preju-diced about religion.

Our generation receives a lot of criticism that we are lazy and entitled, but I don’t know of a group that has had to work harder collec-tively than ours to hold firm to what we believe.

So what is to be done in a world that is sys-tematically removing God from its corners? How should we respond when faced with friends, family and strangers alike when they choose to turn from God? Well, first do as Mum-ford and Sons says and “hold on to what you believe.” Faith is a choice, and the choice is ours to make.

I ache to share my beliefs with those I love the most. Of course I would want them to know what I know, not so that I have a corner on the faith market, but because my faith brings me so much peace and joy. Of course I would want that for them.

But when I think of my dear friend who has decided to go on a rumspringa and explore a life outside her former moral code, I know that

the best thing for me to do is to just live my life in the best way possible and show her I love her and want her to be happy.

Maybe she will come back to the Church and have a renewed faith in God and Jesus Christ. Maybe she won’t. All I can do is live the faith that I love so dearly and love those around me as best I can, hoping that they will see the joy in my life that re-sults from living the gospel and want the same thing in their lives. But if not, it won’t change the love and re-spect I have for them. That’s not why

we were friends to begin with. And that’s not the reason we’re friends now.

And if you’re struggling with your faith, just hang in there, do the best you can and hold on to the things you do know. Even if it’s not very much. Some things take time to work through.

This has easily been one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through, to see one of my friends struggle with something so difficult. I haven’t really known how to handle it and she hasn’t either. We try to be open, but sometimes it’s hard. And I don’t think we’re alone in this. As a church we need to do better at talking about this and trying to understand one another, es-pecially when we don’t agree. Silence doesn’t solve anything.

Athletes in the shadows

B y N I C O L E H I L L S T E A D

It’s a typical Friday night: 6 p.m. and the place is packed, everyone’s hungry and can’t wait to be seated. The restau-rant lighting is dim, but people still notice he’s there. Some people do the obvious double take, others continu-ally glance out the corner of their eyes, while the ambitious take it head on. “Hey! It’s Brock Zylstra! Good luck this year man.”

While star college football and bas-ketball athletes, like senior guard Brock Zylstra, are recognized by most BYU students, professors, alumni or any-one who watches BYU sports on televi-sion, hundreds of other BYU athletes go unnoticed.

“Sometimes other athletes will recog-nize us,” senior softball pitcher Hannah Howell said. “But not necessarily other students.”

For athletes on teams like softball, golf, swimming, cross-country and tennis, the hours of work put into their sport may allow for personal success and accomplishment, but all too often their work gets overlooked by others who attend BYU.

“You have amazing accomplish-ments, and most people don’t even hear about them,” junior Hailey Campbell of the swim team said.

No matter the sport, competing at a college level is diffi cult and takes a lot of time and hard work to be successful.

“It’d be nice to know that other people know that we work hard,” Howell said. “And that we do just as much work as other, more well-known athletes.”

Though many of these athletes com-pete in individual competitions, the competition and intensity of practice and games still exist.

“I kind of wish they knew a lit-tle more about women’s golf,” said

Cougars are setBYU women’s volleyball setter

Heather Hannemann contributes to impressive season

B y A M B E R G O O D F E L L O W

Four years ago, then-Assistant Coach Shawn Olmstead went to the Lone Peak High School v. Pleas-ant Grove High School volleyball match to scout players from Pleas-ant Grove, but Lone Peak’s setter Heather Hannemann caught his eye.

“Her story is pretty remarkable,” Olmstead, now BYU women’s head volleyball coach, said. “A lot of peo-ple don’t know it — the fact that she was originally a walk-on kid.”

Olmstead said he was impressed with Hannemann and told the BYU head coach at the time that the Cou-gars needed her.

“I called the head coach and said, ‘Hey, we have got to get this kid,’” Olmstead said. “I loved her energy. I loved her fi ght. I liked her atti-tude, and then I got to meet her after the game and I just remember her excitement, her charisma. I wanted that to be a part of our team.”

Growing up in Alpine, Hannemann played basketball and soccer but never considered playing volleyball until a friend suggested it. Now captain for the No. 18 BYU team, Hannemann has become a natural leader, leading the Cougars through the team’s current 24-2 season.

Hannemann’s father, a BYU grad, said it was a done deal when the position of setter opened up and BYU offered Hannemann a full scholarship.

“She had a few other offers,” David Hannemann said. “But she’s always wanted to play for BYU, and when she got the scholarship she was like, ‘Dad, it’s like my dream came true.’ She was very excited to go.”

Olmstead said Hannemann is a phenomenal athlete and has greatly improved since joining the team, especially with her decisions as setter.

As setter Hannemann has to make quick, last-minute decisions on ball placement: who to set the ball to, when to set it and where to set it. Olmstead said Hannemann knows her team well and has learned to make these decisions.

Hannemann’s skill shows in her ranking and impressive statistics. On Oct. 22, Hannemann was ranked No. 20 in the NCAA stats for assists per set with 11.36. She reached her career high of 57 assists during the Wichita State match on Aug. 31 and holds career highs of 17 digs, four kills and three service aces. Earlier this season, Hannemann was also named to the BYU Nike Invitational all-tournament team.

Standing at 5’8” when most of her teammates average over 6’, Hannemann’s smaller size does not keep her from working hard. her father David Hannemann said maintaining a positive attitude despite different challenges was a defi ning moment for Hannemann in her career.

“Even though the girls she plays are talented, taller and expecting to win, Heather never gave up,” he said. “She was very hard working and very competitive.”

Senior middle blocker Nicole War-ner agrees and said Hannemann is always working to help the team improve.

“I love Heather Hannemann,” Warner said. “She’s one of the sweetest girls ever. She’s always got a smile on her face and she’s always willing to work hard for the team. No matter what she can rally her teammates so well and just be like, ‘Guys we can play better,’ and she can demand more from her team-mates as well.”

Hannemann is a great team-mate both on and off the court. Sophomore libero Tia Withers said Hannemann is willing to help out with anything.

“My freshman year she was always there,” Withers said. “She helped me move stuff in and out of my dorm, and she’s always willing to give people rides. She is always so supportive and very positive.”

With practices, matches and her helpful nature, Hannemann has learned to balance volleyball, a social life and full-time enrollment at BYU. Hannemann said it’s hard, but she does it by prioritizing her time.

BYU seniors finish home season with blowout win

It wasn’t the most ideal weather, or the most favorable start time or even the most competitive game, but it was an important one to the seniors on the BYU football team, as it would be their last at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

With temperatures below 30 degrees and mountains of snow piled onto the edges of the fi eld, the Cougars looked at home in the elements, putting on a showcase of experienced talent in a blowout win over the Idaho Vandals Saturday night, winning 52–13 to end their home season.

“It’s hard to explain, being a senior,” defensive end Russell Tialavea said. “I’ve been here six years. I had just as much fun playing as watching the other guys play. It’s such a big

Men’s basketball opens season with winB y S h e a G r o S S e N

Tyler Haws led the BYU men’s basketball team to victory over Tennessee State 81-66 in his first official game back since his mission.

“I felt great,”Haws said after the game. “It was a fun atmo-sphere and a great crowd.”

Coach Dave Rose was pleased with Haws’ performance.

“Tyler was great,” Rose said. “He hit his first shot and as the game went on, he got more and more confident.”

It was not easy for Haws or the

rest of the Cougars, including forward Brandon Davies, to get going. Tennessee State proved to be a very physical, defensive team.

“It was a really hard–fought game,” Rose said. “Those guys were tough and played hard.”

Rose discussed how the Tigers came out with a great game plan, especially on Davies. They were able to push him out in the first half and limited him to six points.

In the second half, BYU came out shooting the ball at a better per-centage. The team shot 60 percent on 3-point field goals, compared to just 20 percent in the first half and 62 percent from the field compared to 48 in the first half.

Davies ended up having a bet-ter second half after making adjustments during halftime, and finished with 16 points on 7-9 shoot-ing. Brock Zylstra added 11.

After the game, Rose discussed Zylstra’s role in defending the Tiger’s top player Robert Coving-ton. Covington, who is considered to be picked in next year’s NBA draft, ended up with nine points. The Tiger’s leading scorer was Kel-len Thornton with 20.

Another bright spot for Rose and the Cougars was the point guard play by Matt Carlino.

“I thought Matt Carlino was terrific,” Rose said. “He was a free throw away from a double-double,

10 assists and four turnovers. In a game like that, you need a tough-minded, strong, athletic guy like Matt.”

One of the areas of concern for the Cougars was the offensive rebound difference. TSU had 14 compared to BYU’s 3. Forward Josh Sharp, who saw his first start, discussed this following the game.

“We expect to get more offen-sive rebounds,”Sharp said. “This is definitely something we want to work on, but credit them for box-ing out and going to the boards every time.”

A good portion of those in atten-dance was a number of students cheering in their new section, “Roar of Cougars” or ROC for short.

“I love the student section,” Rose said. “The fact that they have embraced that space and are

as involved as they are makes me excited for our games in the Mar-riott Center this year.”

The Cougars next game will be in the Marriott Center against Georgia State on Tuesday.

ATHLETESHundreds of BYU athletes perform outside the spotlight


junior Annika Afoa Kahaiali’i of the golf team. “Just because some teachers and students are like, ‘Oh, you guys are golf. You just go out there and play and have fun.’ But really it’s pretty intense and it’s mentally drain-ing. I feel like they think it’s a leisure activity rather than a competitive sport.”

However, it’s not all fun and games being in the spotlight constantly either, and it seems all athletes comprehend the difficulties that come with being one of these “celebrity athletes.”

“I think a pro of not being a well-known athlete is that we don’t have to deal with the stress of everyone watching us and making sure we’re always competing at our best,” Camp-bell said.

While it would be nice to have students recognize the work these athletes put into each sport, not being recog-nized on campus has its ben-efi ts as well.

“In another sense, it’s kind of a luxury too,” Howell said. “We

don’t have to be bombarded by other people as well.”

Zylstra and his team under-stands the pressures that come with constantly having every-one’s eyes on them.

“I would say that you always have to be your best,” Zyls-tra said. “I mean you should always be trying to be your best, but you do one little thing wrong and people see it and it affects the team and the school. You’re not only representing yourself, you’re representing the basketball team, the ath-letic program and BYU as a whole.”

Au athletes run into the dif-fi culties of balancing school and their sports, which makes going unnoticed that much less enticing.

“Just having to maintain a good schedule with classes and everything (is diffi cult),” How-ell said. “And making sure you get everything done in between practices and school. In soft-ball, we’re out there four to fi ve hours out of the day, and the only time we have to take classes is in the morning, so it’s kind of hard to time manage.”

So whether you do the double take, the peripheral stare or go gaga over certain athletes, don’t forget the hard work and achievements of all the other athletes here at BYU. They may be in the shadows now, but it only takes one person, one poster, one game to bring them into the spotlight too.

HANNEMANNTeam captain hopes to end season with WCC title


Despite the challenges, she said she has no complaints and has never considered giving up.

“It defi nitely takes a toll on you, but when you organize and fi gure it all out, then it’s all worth it,” Hannemann said. “I would defi nitely redo it all over again.”

As the Cougars close out the season, Hannemann hopes to take the West Coast Conference title and said if the team does well, then she knows she has done her job.

Olmstead said that no matter

what he is proud of Hannemann and knows she will excel in her future.

“She’s going to be tremendous in whatever she decides to do,” Olmstead said. “Whether that’s going into some sort of career or into marriage, she’s going to be wonderful. She’s the kind of kid that if you tell her no, she’s that much more motivated and she’s going to break down some of those barriers.”

FOOTBALLHome season finishes with blowout win, road games still ahead


class, and it’s special to play with the seniors.”

For several of the seniors the game was a big fi nish to their careers at Lavell Edwards Sta-dium, but the season isn’t done for any of them. The Cougars still have two road games in the reg-ular season, and the Poinsettia Bowl in December – their eighth straight bowl appearance.

“It’s a great way for our seniors to fi nish up,” Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall said. “Not only did they play well, but they played about a half and had a great time cheering on their teammates. That’s great leadership. We had a great crowd. Many stayed till the end, and our players really appreciated that. We’re looking forward to going on the road the next two weeks.”

Quarterback Riley Nelson had his best game of the sea-son, throwing for 236 yards and three touchdowns to junior wide receiver Cody Hoffman. Nel-son also ran for 49 yards, look-ing healthier than he has since the season opener. But Nelson asserted that it wasn’t any dif-ferent from any other game.

“The only thing different about this game is that I’m still in my jersey because my family

wanted to take pictures,” Nelson said. “We still got three more games.”

In addition to Nelson, senior quarterback James Lark played the majority of the second half, throwing for 49 yards and another touchdown to freshman Cody Raymond. Senior running back and team captain David Foote compiled 38 yards on the ground on 10 carries.

“It didn’t really hit me until I ran out onto the fi eld that it would be my last game,” senior offen-sive tackle Braden Brown said. “We played well, started fast like last week. I couldn’t envision my last game at LaVell Edwards Sta-dium ending any different.”

On the defensive side, where the Cougars are mostly upper-classmen, the seniors excelled in their fi nal game. Linebacker Brandon Ogletree led the team with six tackles, while corner-back Preston Hadley added fi ve. Defensive end and NFL prospect Ezekiel Ansah had three tackles, one of which was for a loss, two pass break-ups and a quarterback hurry, while both Tialavea and fellow senior defensive lineman Simote Vea each had a fumble recovery. The defense, which has ranked in the top 10 in the nation in almost every category, is full of seniors who love their team and what the game means to them.

“Our defense is pretty com-plex,” Ogletree said. “A lot of people wonder why freshmen automatically don’t get playing time. It’s hard to earn the coach’s trust, and it’s an uphill battle. It’s special, and you just cherish it. I’ll always think about it, because the relationships we make are lifelong.”

The players were impressed by and grateful to the fans who stayed in the freezing tempera-tures for the entire game, cheer-ing on the Cougars and especially the seniors.

“I’m sure it was much colder for them sitting in the stands than for us running around on the fi eld,” Brown said. “Credit to them. We appreciate all the sup-port we can get.”

NCAA first round goes to No. 1 seed CougarsB y M A R C U S E L L I S O N

The BYU women’s soccer team continued its impressive streak, beating the WAC cham-pion the Utah State Aggies 2-1 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The game was originally scheduled to take place on Fri-day at 6 p.m. but due to weather conditions the game was post-poned. Yet Saturday, in front of an energetic and excited home crowd, it soon became clear that even the weather couldn’t cool down the red hot Cougars.

BYU got on the board in the 29th minute with a goal off the foot of senior forward Jes-sica Ringwood. A stellar pass by sophomore forward Jaiden Thornock set up the senior for the goal.

Marissa Nimmer followed with a goal ten minutes later to push the Cougars’ lead to two on the 9-2-6 Aggies. Utah State responded in the first minute of the second half with a goal of their own, but the Cougars’ stifling defense held strong to

protect BYU’s early lead.“This was a huge win for us

in our first NCAA tournament game this year,” BYU Head Coach Jennifer Rockwood said. “We drew a really tough open-ing round against Utah State and knew that it was going to be a battle once we found out we were going to play them. We were able to bounce back from their early goal in the second half and do what we needed to do to get the win.”

With the win the Cougars add to their home streak, pro-tecting their home field by staying unbeaten in each of their 12 games at South Field this season, while outscoring opponents there 34-6.

Next on the plate for the No. 1 seeded Cougars is another home match against the 13-10-1 Auburn Tigers from Auburn, Ala. The game will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday at South Field.

“We have amazing seniors who are all so motivated,” senior defender Lindsi Lison-bee Cutshall said. “We’re excited to see how far we can go.”

A winning attitudeNew baseball coach has a lot to offer

B y M A D I L Y N C O L E

Newspaper clippings of past victories and photographs hang on the walls in Coach Mike Littlewood’s office, rep-resenting the reward of hard work and dedication. There’s no doubt that winning is some-thing on Littlewood’s front burner, something he wants to be on every player’s mind everyday.

Jeremy Thomas, the BYU pitching coach, has known Littlewood for 13 years.

“He sees things about the game before it happens,” Thomas said. “Coach Little-wood is a winner, and he’s a proven winner. … In 16 years at Dixie, he didn’t have a los-ing season.”

[Jonathon Hardy] Coach Mike Litt lewood coach-ing baseball players during practice.

Mike Lit t lewood was

officially hired as BYU’s new head baseball coach on June 28, 2012. Before he came to BYU, he spent 16 years coach-ing at Dixie State, where he brought the program from junior college status to a Divi-sion II program. The teams he coached made four appear-ances in the National Junior College World Series, winning the championship in 2004. Littlewood was also named Junior College Coach of the Year in 2004.

“That school’s done more for me than I’ve ever done for it,” Littlewood said.

Even with the accolades he’s received and impressive win-ning seasons he’s had, Little-wood maintains a humble attitude and keeps the spot-light on his players, assistant coaching staff and support systems.

Before Littlewood came to Dixie, he played for BYU from 1985 to 1988.

He explained that the timing

worked out perfectly for him to return to BYU, this time as the head coach.

“I want to see us become a perennial top-20 team. That’s where we need to be. That’s where we were when I played,” Littlewood said.

His plans to make that hap-pen include bringing in the best players he possibly can, as well as pushing players to be the best they possibly can be and maintaining a theme of hard work.

“Come out every single day, and play as hard as you can … every single minute you’re out there,” Littlewood said.

Chunner Nyberg, a junior pitcher on the team, has known Littlewood since high school because he grew up in St. George, where Littlewood previously coached.

“He focuses on how to get the most out of every individual,” Nyberg said.

He explained that Little-wood is a player’s coach and that ever since he came to BYU he’s brought a confidence to the team that has rubbed off on everyone, and there’s no wasted time at the ball park.

“There (haven’t) been any questions asked,” Nyberg said. “It’s just what he says, it’s like gospel to us.”

While at Dixie, Littlewood had the opportunity to coach two of his oldest sons, Tyson and Nathan.

“I got to spend four to five hours a day with them on the baseball field. Who could ask for more?” Littlewood said.

Littlewood explained that his kids did not get special treatment, and he’s not the type of coach to favor players.

“Sometimes I was harder on them than other players,” Lit-tlewood said.

Whatever coaching style he did use paid off, as his youngest son, Marcus, was drafted out of high school in the second round of the 2010 M L B Dra f t by the Seattle Mariners.

Chris How-ard, a senior pitcher on t h e t e a m , approves of a nd appre -ci ate s Lit-t l e w o o d ’ s coaching style.

“He’s unlike any coach I’ve ever had. … He can turn any average program into a great program,” Howard said. “He

runs a tight ship, once we got started it was all or nothing. … That’s a big thing for him.”

Trent Pratt, Jeremy Thomas and Brent Haring, who worked

at Dixie State with Litt le -wo o d , a l l joi ne d t he BY U coach-ing staff with Littlewood.

Lit t lewood explained that even though t he c oach-ing duties are spread among the assistant coaches, he likes to be aware of and

know what’s going on with everyone.

“My hands are in every-thing, but I give my coaches autonomy,” Littlewood said.

“If I’m doing a drill with the infield, and I see a kid with an untucked shirt in left field, I’m going to let him know about it.”

Jaycob Brugman, a junior centerfielder on the team, has noticed the coaching style and the fire Coach Littlewood brought with him when he came to BYU.

“It’s good to have a coach that will get on you a little bit,” Brugman said.

Littlewood’s goals for the program include making BYU baseball relevant in the national spotlight, maintain-ing a national top-20 team sta-tus and making BYU baseball the top choice for prospects.

“When we walk on the field, we expect to win,” Littlewood said.

With that attitude, there may be more newspaper clip-pings to hang on the wall in the future.

Students flock to late-night eateries in search of hunger cure

B y K A T E L Y N G U D E R I A N

Just blocks north of the Provo and Orem border, a large decorative owl sits perched outside a restaraunt, silently greeting groups of hungry students late into the night.

The owl, iconic as it may have become for its host, Roll Up Crepes, represents a larger and surprisingly rare idea in this college town: late-night dining. With work, midterms, procrastinated papers and a constant need for both energy and actual food, BYU students are turning their atten-tion — and their wallets — to restau-rants who boast late closing times.

Roll Up Crepes, which is open until 1 a.m. or later Monday through Saturday, reported steady business throughout the day and increased profi ts on the weekends and later at night. Chris Figueroa, the Roll Up Crepes assistant manager, said the business sees a lot of regulars during FHE and post-bedtime.

“We see a lot of couples from BYU who can’t stay in apartments past cur-few,” Figueroa said. “They’ll come in at eleven, order something, and then stay here for two or three hours until we close.”

Featuring a weekly open mic night and Pinterest-esque decor, the restau-rant screams “college hangout” and is host to fl oods of students in the waning

hours of the night.Marcela Martinez, a senior from

Elk Grove, Calif, studying philosophy, frequents Roll Up Crepes.

“Provo lacks the quintessential hangout spots that are often associ-ated with university towns,” Mar-tinez said. “While technically in Orem, Roll Up Crepes attempts to fi ll that void by fi lling you up with

Basing a lifestyle

around foodCeliac disease causes some people to shop

for more healthy and organic foods while others have a choice

B y K R I S T E N W I L L D E N

No bread. No fl our. Whenever Dan Dewey politely declines a meal, peo-ple tend to feel bad about his celiac disease, but Dewey sees it more as an opportunity.

Food is an essential item in a social setting, especially in a college com-munity. However, some people are not able to fully participate in this aspect of socialization. Some are incapable of eating food like everyone else, and some choose to eat healthier.

Celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, is a genetic disorder that affects 1 in 133 Americans, according to Celiac.com.

Dewey, associate professor of linguis-tics and TESOL, has had celiac disease for eight years and said socializing can be challenging in some situations.

“I tell people that I came for the people, not for the food,” he said. “It’s a great learning experience for both sides. If they don’t learn to accommo-date or accept people, then they just have to deal with it, but I think we are better off to adopt and accept.”

Dewey has a hard time fi nding res-taurants to fi t his needs. He said even if restaurants don’t put any fl our or bread on his plate, if they cook his food with the same pan for another order, he can have an allergic reaction.

“Our life is centered around food,” he said. “Whenever I travel, I try to bring food to the airplane, but sometimes security is too strict to let me take some food, so I pretty much have to eat out.”

While some, like Dewey, don’t have as many options, others choose to avoid certain foods due to personal preference.

Jason Bartholomew, a junior from Carbondale, Ill., majoring in genetics and biotechnology, described himself as a moderate organic lover but said organic food is too expensive.

“If I had more money, I would get more organic fruit, vegetables and meat,” he said. “I try to buy a lot of fruits, vegetables and more grain and avoid high fructose corn syrup

What food means on dates

B y K E N N E T H B A L D W I N

Dates can cause a case of the nerves because of their avalanche of unanswered questions. Even decisions on where to eat can launch daters into acute romance analysis.

Food plays a critical role in the dating

culture at BYU. Where, what and how to eat can say a lot about the intentions of a suitor or the status of a relationship. When a date to a fancy restaurant comes too early or an anniversary is celebrated with fast food, people may raise eyebrows.

Rudd Hopkins, a graduate student at BYU, always considered cooking with dates a telling experience.

“For me, there is interest in cooking already from when I grew up,” Hopkins

said. “I decided instead of a date where I was going to go eat and then find an activ-ity, I would consolidate both into a date of making food. The food turned out great no matter what, but the conversation and the plan for other dates to cook different types of food would indicate if there was interest in the person.”

Hopkins was able to learn more about

Learning to cook at collegeMany students leave home with little to no skill in the kitchen

B y K e N N e T h B a l d w i N

Cassie Sousa knew it was time to make lunch, and noo-dles seemed like such a simple option. But she learned the hard way that it is, in fact, possible to burn noodles in boiling water.

Bosch Appliances recently conducted a survey with sur-prising results. They found that over 28 percent of Americans do not know how to cook, almost one out of three adults. With students entering college, learning to feed themselves for the first time on a stringent budget, the kitchen could be the most dan-gerous place on campus.

Sousa is just one of many stu-dents who had to learn to cook the hard way. Jenny Gray, a recent BYU graduate in exer-cise science, spent her freshman

year learning food reality from room-mates’ criticism.

“When I met my freshman room-mates, we decided to take turns cook-ing for each other,” Gray said. “I took the first night. I had my chicken Shake ‘N Bake, mashed pota-toes from a box and

canned green beans that I heated up on the stove.”

When she pre-sented her meal to the roommates, they were less than thrilled.

“That day I learned mashed potatoes came

from real potatoes,” Gray said. “Yes, I had no idea before. And that you could buy fresh vegeta-bles, not ones from a can. There are other cheeses besides Kraft singles, gravy doesn’t come from

a packet, and fresh produce is amazing!”

With shows like “Chopped” and “The Next Iron Chef” from the Food Network, another com-mon problem students face is the false hope of fixing any type of food in the kitchen.

“Freshman year I was very low on groceries so I made spa-ghetti,” said Whitney Call, a graduate student studying cre-ative writing. “I realized I had no marinara sauce so I used my baking supplies to turn my spa-ghetti into a cinnamon-sugar pasta dessert. I ended up just going to bed hungry.”

Budget restraints also limit students in their culinary edu-cation. Buying fast food can save time, and Top Ramen can save money. Marshall Bower-man, an animation student, knew how to utilize the trade-mark ingredients in every col-lege student’s kitchen to get a little creative.

“Macaroni and cheese gets boring by itself,” Bowerman said. “So I’ve made my own version — take a normal box of Mac & Cheese and prepare it normally. Instead of milk, use ranch dress-ing and a bit of salsa. Amounts of each are to taste. I’ve had other people try it and say that they never knew macaroni and cheese could taste so good.”

Television affects the choices of some students

B y l a U r e N M o r a N

Lace gowns, Tiffany rings and a dream’s worth of Prada heels fill the television screen on CW’s “Gossip Girl.” Mon-day night at 9 p.m. girls gather around the television to enjoy Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf as they mingle in the social world of the Upper East Side.

Some BYU students are affected by the fashion choices of popular television dramas and comedies, such as “The Office” and “Gossip Girl,” while other students find themselves removed from the world of entertainment.

Paige Brennan, a sophomore from Orange County, Calif., said she enjoys television comedies like “Parks and Recreation”; however, she finds her fashion inspiration from “Gossip Girl.”

“When I used to watch ‘Gos-sip Girl,’ I’d be like ‘That is the

cutest outfit ever. I wish I could pull that off,’” Brennan said.

Brennan bought a black dress similar to one worn by Blair Waldorf on a “Gossip Girl” episode.

“You kind of gravitate towards certain characters you identify with,” Brennan said.

While Brennan enjoys emulat-ing the fashion on shows such as “Gossip Girl,” she said some of the wardrobe choices of Serena and Blair are impossible to mimic.

“On TV you are always reach-ing to something that is unat-tainable, but you have to realize that it is TV and not real life,” Brennan said. “They have styl-ists, and obviously we don’t have that. It is fun, but you have to take it with a grain of salt.”

Suzanne Hubbard, a 19-year-old sophomore from Fort Smith, Ark., said she is not affected by television fashion. She watches “Once Upon A Time” and finds the show’s fashion choices unre-alistic. Hubbard said television depicts fashion differently from

her own personal style.“I see new things,” Hubbard

said. “There is not a set pattern. Everyone tries to do something different, but I guess that is the media in general.”

Adam Hall, a junior from Snowf lake, Ariz., majoring in neuroscience, entertains similar views as Hubbard’s on television and its impact on student fashion. Hall said he has never gone to the mall due to a television show’s inspiration.

“The whole ‘conforming to the norm’ thing bothers me,” Hall said.

As far as celebrities and entertainment are concerned, Hall said he believes people should be worried about more important aspects of life.

“I think that entertainment is important,” Hall said. “I don’t have anything against enter-tainment, per se, but I also don’t feel like celebrities are special, besides being well-known or popular.”

DATEDate food can set the tone for your relationship status


women he was interested in through these cooking experi-ences in ways other date ideas fell short.

“Food is a huge catalyst for memories and nostalgia,” Hopkins said. “It expresses the family as much as the per-son through their traditions and what food they prefer.”

Sometimes the cook-at-home strategy is more telling of the man than the woman. Katie Geilman, a recent BYU gradu-ate, had some awkward cook-at-home dates.

“Food on dates has become a symbol for sexism,” Geilman said. “I once went on a date with a guy who knew I liked to cook. He told me we were going to make dinner together. Instead, I ended up making stir-fry and two apple pies by myself. When the food was finally ready, we sat down, he poured himself a glass of Martinelli’s and told me to help myself to some tap water. He looked at the two beautiful apple pies and told me that he didn’t feel like eat-ing them and that I could let myself out.”

There are times that food interests connect perfectly to make for a beautiful rela-tionship. Marilee Cahoon,

who grew up in Hawaii, knew something was going well on the first date with her future husband.

“My husband is from Can-ada,” Cahoon said. “I lived in

Hawaii before I went to BYU. One of our first dates was to Heaps Pizza. We ordered a Canadian Bacon and Pineapple pizza.”

It was love at first bite.

delicious crepes of all vari-eties. Plus, the names of the crepes are hilarious. ‘Summer Fling,’ anyone?”

Although most sit-down loca-tions are closed by the time stu-dents embark on a mission to cure their late-night munch-ies, students are still chowing down on midnight breakfasts and drive-thru burritos.

Hayley Thayer, a media arts major from Dallas, consis-tently grabs midnight snacks with her friends and room-mates. McDonald’s is a fre-quent choice, and it’s all about the hotcakes. With breakfast served at midnight, the Provo McDonald’s drive-thru line consistently backs up into Bull-dog Blvd., with cars waiting

20–30 minutes before even being able to place an order.

Crepes and Sonic also said business is best late at night, when groups of students make up their clientele. Joining these restaurants as student favorites are Rancherito’s, Del Taco and Cafe West — better known as “The Hospital.”

Located inside the Utah Val-ley Regional Medical Center, Cafe West serves a variety of inexpensive food to hospital patients and their loved ones. Perhaps the most unlikely place imaginable to host large groups of college kids, Cafe West continues to gain popu-larity as more and more stu-dents discover this “secret.”

Noah Robins, who is study-ing statistics and psychology, said that going to Cafe West is a trendy thing to do.

“People cock their eyebrow when you ask them to go, and they are more willing to go because it sounds edgy,” Rob-ins, who hails from Renton, Wash., said. “But when it comes down to it, nobody wants to go alone to a midnight food run.”

Roll Up Crepes is open until 1 a.m. and is a common place for students craving a late-night snack.

LIfEsTyLEsPeople base their daily habits around healthy, organic options


products because we really don’t need the extra sugar. I think it is

good to eat less industrial-fertil-izer, chemical-residue products for the environment.”

Bryce Shelley, a sopho-more from Orem, said he had a hard time eating American bread and burgers after com-ing back from a mission in Germany.

“I definitely notice the dif-ference in food,” he said. I’ve always been healthy and try to eat less greasy food.”

For some students, eating specific foods is not their first

priority.Yoshiya Baba, a senior

from Chicago, Ill., majoring in international relations, said he looks for satisfaction in food, but not necessarily a healthy meal.

“Even though having a good eating habit will make me healthy in the long run, my priority is to go to school and to get a job,” he said. “Cooking good and finding organic food can cost a lot of time for me.”

“People cock their eyebrows when you

ask them to go ... but when it comes down to it, nobody

wants to go alone to a midnight food run.”

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. “It’s like a head-ache.”

Similar to a headache, the symptoms could come from a number of different stressors in the person’s life.

Dr. Nabi meets with his pa-tients and asks them questions about their symptoms. If he sus-pects an issue with the patient’s 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]. I’ve 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 I’m 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 can’t,” 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 they’re 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 we’re 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 let’s 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, Ansted’s 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. I’ve seen other wands for sale at craft sales and farmer’s markets, but they are priced much higher, and I like Sara’s Wands better. My kids just de-scribe them as ‘awesome.’”

Ansted’s 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 fights, that would be simply miserable in the middle of December.

The world’s largest water bal-loon fight in Summer 2010 was hosted by BYUSA, BYU’s 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 field competitions.

Steven Leyland, a pre-business major, said campus is less crowd-

ed during spring term, which is a potential benefit.

“Campus is more freed up,” Ley-land said. “There isn’t all the foot traffic where you can’t get to class on time because you’re 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 finals 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 benefit 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 you’re coming out of classes you can go sit on a bench and it isn’t 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 shouldn’t be camping every Friday night,” she said.

Steven’s 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 didn’t sleep much, but it was still fun.”

Scott Jackson, a junior from Ev-erett, Wash. studying mechanical engineering, found inspiration in Steven’s weekend hobby.

“Our group just went out and did something no one else was doing, and it didn’t 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. “There’s 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: College organization tipsB y K R I S T E N W I L L D E N

Managing time can be overwhelm-ing when students have classes, homework, work and extracurricular activities. BYU students share various ways to organize their day:

1. Phones and gadgetsPhones have become an integral part

of student life. Many students use smart-phone apps like Google Calendar and Apple iCloud service to help organize their lives.

“Since I have my phone all the time, I don’t have to look for my

school assignments or work schedule,” said Justin Edwards, a junior from Hurricane who is majoring in exercise science. “Today, with school and work being so competitive, the accessibility that comes with this technology helps me to be more effi cient and simplify my life.”

2. PlannersEven though many students like

using digital tools to organize their day, others still prefer writing on a piece of paper.

“I like to cross things off because there is a satisfaction of accomplish-ment,” said Katie Breckenridge, a senior from Springville, majoring in

geography. “You don’t get to do that on the phone.”

3. CalendarWhile planners offer mobility, some

students choose to use large wall calen-dars to keep track of important events.

“My wife and I use it as a family cal-endar for birthdays, vacations and date nights,” said Quinn Kimball, a senior from Arlington, Texas, majoring in international relations. “It keeps us organized, especially for me, so I don’t double book us.”

4. Family and friendsFamily and friends can be a tool to

stay on track and to provide support for

students.“Sometimes my roommates wake

me up to go to work or study early in the morning,” said Tracy Allen, a senior from Las Vegas, Nev., majoring in English.

5. A drawer fi ling cabinetRyan Awerkamp, a senior from

St.George majoring in econom-ics, and his wife were looking for a way to store all of their papers and important documents.

“Our little filing cabinet doesn’t take up much space and keeps us much more organized so that we’re able to find what we need,” he said.
