Dear Committee ...

Limited-enrollment programs can cause major frustration
B y T I F FA N Y S O L L I S
After completing the process of applying prerequisite classes, applications, letter of recommendation, portfolios and auditions some BYU students prepare for two alternatives, accepted or denied, but receive the answer good enough, just no space. Many BYU students face this experience and may ask themselves, Why? BYU lists 128 undergraduate programs on its Web site. Of those programs, 40 are limitedenrollment. Todd Hollingshead, a university spokesman, said only 5,392 of BYUs 29,890 undergraduate students were majoring in limited-enrollment programs in 2008. Alan Parkinson, dean of the Fulton College of Engineering and Technology, said he understands students disappointment. It is very frustrating (for students) to not be in the major they want to be in, he said. Parkinson served on the University Curriculum Council to revise the policy for limitedenrollment programs. Limited-enrollment programs only exist for reason of resources, Parkinson said. If the program said they dont have the resources to provide a quality education, then (they) could apply to be a limited-enrollment program. Admissions vary significantly from major to major. Ron Simpson, the artistic director in the School of Music, said media music studies, the music business major at BYU, usually accepts 10 to 12 students of the average 100 applicants each year. In 2008 only six were accepted. Simpson said the general level of talent in students applying is astonishing. This of course has an obvious upside in terms of the quality of our majors, he said in a letter to applicants, but an obvious downside is that weve had many more qualified applicants than we will possibly have places for. Students who fi nd themselves in this situation have a choice: apply again, choose another major that closely relates to their interests or study at another school. Its a personal decision, See PROGRAMS on Page 3

Curbside recycling available for a fee

B y L A U R E N LY T L E
Many students are reluctant to recycle because it costs money, but by spending just $5 a month, students can contribute to a cleaner Earth and help create thousands of jobs, said county health officials. About 3,750 Provo residents are currently signed up for curbside recycling. According to the Ace Disposal Web site, an average of 4.6 pounds of waste is generated per person per day in the United States and for every ton of paper that is recycled, 17 trees are saved. There is so much waste in landfi lls, said an intern with the Environmental Health Division of the Utah County Health Department. I hope s t u d e nt s will have a long-term perspective and realize that paying a few dollars a month will create a cleaner Earth. Not only does recycling reduce the amount of waste in landfi lls, it helps stimulate the economy by providing a need for jobs at recycling plants. It costs about Intern $ 5 per month to Environmental recycle and recyHealth Division cling companies such as Republic Services and Ace Disposal provide jobs to over 30,000 employees. Large plants have about 200 employees each and smaller plants usually hire five to 10. Employees are needed to drive the trucks, unload the material, repair and maintain the machines and sort on assembly lines. Sorting recycling is very labor intensive, said Will Flower, executive vice president at Republic Services. Some materials can be sorted out by machines, but glass and plastic need to be hand sorted. It provides a lot of jobs. Flower explained that some materials can be taken off the conveyer belt easily, but others cannot. Steel is pulled off the belt using magnets. Aluminum is taken off using an electronic field that repels the material. Materials such as glass and plastic can only be removed by hand. This is because there are many different types of plastic. For example, milk jugs are made differently than soda bottles. He said the $5 residents pay covers the extra costs of recycling. When recycling companies have

Bill Clinton visits N.Korea, amid international standoff

Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea Former U.S. President Bill Clinton made a surprise trip to North Korea on T uesday amid an inter national standoff over the countrys nuclear program and concerns about two U.S. reporters imprisoned in Pyongyang since March. Clinton landed in Pyongyang on Tuesday and was greeted at the airport by North Korean officials, including chief nuclear negotiator Kim Kye Gwan, North Koreas state news agency said in a brief dispatch. A little girl presented a bouquet to Bill Clinton, the report said. His visit comes amid heightened tensions over North Koreas string of nuclear and missile tests in defiance of U.N. resolutions, and calls from Washington for amnesty for the two reporters. Ling and Lee, reporters for former Vice President Al Gores California-based Current TV media venture, were arrested in March while on a reporting trip to the Chinese-North Korean border. They were sentenced in June to 12 years of hard labor for entering the country illegally and engaging in hostile acts. In New York, the Clinton Foundation did not immediately return calls, and Gores spokeswoman, Kalee Kreider, said she could not comment. At the White House, Deputy Press Secretary Tommy Vietor said he had no comment. In California, Lees husband, Michael Saldate, declined to comment. A message left for Iain Clayton, Lings husband, was not returned Monday evening. C l i nt on wou ld b e t he s e c ond for mer U.

Police beat women opposing Sudan dress code trial

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) Sudanese police fired tear gas and beat women protesting at the trial on Tuesday of a female journalist who faces a flogging for wearing trousers in public. Sudanese journalist Lubna Hussein could receive 40 lashes if found guilty of violating the countrys indecency law which follows a strict interpretation of Islam. The 43-yearold says the law is un-Islamic and oppressive, and shes trying to use her trial to rally support to change it. I am not afraid of flogging. ... Its about changing the law, Hussein said, speaking to The Associated Press after a hearing Tuesday. Hussein said she would take the issue all the way to Sudans constitutional court if necessary, but that if the court rules against her and orders the flogging, shes ready to receive (even) 40,000 lashes if that what it takes to abolish the law. Hussein was among 13 women arrested July 3 in a raid by the public order police on a popular cafe in Khartoum. Ten of the women were fined and flogged two days later. But Hussein and two others decided to go to trial. In an attempt to rally support, Hussein printed invitations to diplomats, international media, and activists to attend her trial which opened last week. She also resigned from her job in the U.N.s public information office in Khartoum, declining the immunity that went along with the job to challenge the law.

Plague takes third victim

BEIJING (AP) Medical staff raced to disinfect a sealed-off town in northwestern China on Tuesday after a third person died within four days in a pneumonic plague outbreak in the farming community of 10,000, local authorities said. Police set up checkpoints around Ziketan in Qinghai province after the outbreak was first detected last Thursday. The lung infection is highly contagious can kill a human in 24 hours if left untreated. Medical staff are disinfecting the area and killing rats, insects and fleas that can be carriers for the bacteria, a notice on the provincial health department Web site said. Authorities are keeping close track of people who came into contact with those infected. Authorities urged anyone who had visited the town since mid-July and has developed a cough or fever to seek hospital treatment.

Opposition wants protests

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Opposition groups called for protesters to prepare for a new round of street demonstrations on Wednesday to coincide with the inauguration ceremony for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The appeals carried on reformist Web sites and blogs showed a willingness by protesters to confront the massive security operation expected outside parliament and other areas of the capital Tehran during the swearing in formalities. Authorities have increasingly dispatched waves of riot police in preemptive moves before high-profile events linked to the disputed June 12 elections and its violent aftermath, such as memorials for victims of the unrest. There were scattered clashes Monday in Tehran after a ceremony where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei formally endorsed Ahmadinejads second term.

Rockets hit Afghan capital

KABUL (AP) At least five rockets slammed into Kabul at daybreak on Tuesday, one of them falling near the U.S. Embassy in a rare attack on the Afghan capital fewer than three weeks before presidential elections, police and residents said. The explosions, heard by AP reporters, occurred to the east of the city, toward the international airport and near several residential areas. The impact of one of the rockets could be seen about 200 yards from the U.S. Embassy on a main road in central Kabul. It hit the house of a senior Interior Ministry official but caused no casualties, security officers said. At the scene, Maj. Ghulam Rasul of the Afghan national army said he believed the rockets were of the long-range BM1 type, which can be fired from portable rocket launchers positioned on the ground several miles from their target. The capital is closely guarded. They had to fire from far away, Rasul said.

Undergrads face possible rejection
Continued from Page 1 Simpson said in an e-mail. I like to explain other options, with electives, to stay close to music, but to move through BYU fairly rapidly. Media music studies began as studio composition before 1986 and officially became a Bachelor of Music degree in 2002. The program has produced stars. Benton Paul, who has performed with David Archuleta and has been praised by the Jonas Brothers, and artists such as Dan Truman of Diamond Rio, are among its graduates. I can see the wisdom in keeping it small, Truman said. On the other hand, if people want to do it they should have the ability to study it. Tim McLain, the Mechanical Engineering Department chairman, said faculty find it difficult to turn away qualified applicants. We feel like were turning away students that are capable and will succeed, he said. We try to stretch as much as we possibly can to accommodate more.

on its admissions from 140 to 160 and this year 38 percent of incoming freshmen have indicated an interest in that field. The art direction track within BYUs advertising program can only accept 12 students per year

because of limitations on the graphic design minor that is attached to the degree. Doug McKinlay, an associate professor, said the program was able to accept 18 students in 2009, but only because many of the ap-

plicants had already completed the equivalent of a graphic design minor. The students in the advertising program have been recognized nationally and internationally for their talented students. We broke into The One Show two years ago and have won merit awards both years, McKinlay said. While some limited-enrollment programs change the number of applicants they can accept each year, others are static. The School of Accounting accepts 265 undergraduates each year and only allows students to apply once. In 2008, 348 students applied and in 2009 the number rose to 391 applicants. They need to progress toward graduation, not apply and reapply, said Kevin Stocks, director of the School of Accounting. The accounting program was ranked fourth in the nation by U.S. News and World Report in 2008 and received the Innovation Award from the American Accounting Association in 1993 and 2007. Stocks said the accounting program has become successful by giving the students within the program the resources and opportunities to succeed. By building the abilities of the graduates we build the program and further the aims of BYU and the Church, he said.

Provo offers recycling
Continued from Page 1 sorted through the materials, they sell it for $35-50 per ton. We get paid for the material and with the funds we collect from residents, so all our costs are covered, Flower said. Republic Services recently merged with Allied Waste and provides recycling services for 40 states, including a few cities in Utah County. A lot of people say they want to help the Earth, but when it comes down to actually opening their wallets, people arent so willing,

Flower said. Flower said if people understood how many jobs they are paying for as well as how much it would cost if they were to recycle on their own, they would be happy to pay such a small amount to recycle. Some BYU students say they would recycle if they knew why they had to pay for it. I love the Earth and want to help take care of it, said Katie Mussman, a sophomore planning to study communications. With the economy, we need to fi nd way to provide jobs and this is perfect. I would totally pay for it. To sign up for curbside recycling visit www.provocity. org. laurenblytle@gmail.com

R.I. cops brand party houses Fed judges order Calif. to cut prison inmate population
Associated Press
NARRAGANSETT, R.I. The punishment, renters and homeowners in this beach town say, is tantamount to a scarlet letter: A large orange sticker plastered by police on homes that host raucous parties. Police have cited more than 300 homes since 2005 under a town law aimed at curbing rowdy gatherings especially among off-campus students from the nearby University of Rhode Island and helping officers and neighbors more easily flag problem properties. A federal judge will hear arguments next month on a lawsuit from students who liken the stickers to degrading scarlet letters stigmatizing labels of literary lore worn by adulterous women that shame them before the neighborhood and leave them vulnerable to repeat visits from the police. Once you have the sticker, youre basically assumed guilty of everything that happens in the neighborhood, said Michael Spatcher, 21, a URI student whose rental house was given an orange sticker last year after a party and who is among those pressing a judge to nix the law. The ordinance allows police to place 10-inch-by-14-inch stickers on properties where parties of five or more people created a substantial disturbance through loud noise, public drunkenness, illegal parking or other such behavior. The fi rst sticker serves as a warning, though the next noise violation carries a fi ne of $300. And the stickers must remain up for the duration of the school year or summer, depending on when they were given out. J. David Smith, who was police chief when the law was

SACRAMENTO, Calif. A federal judicial panel on Tuesday ordered California to reduce its prison population by 40,000 to improve treatment of ailing and mentally ill inmates. The three-judge panel ruled that cutting the number of inmates is the only way to bring the systems medical care up to adequate standards Californias prisons are bursting at the seams and are impossible to manage, the judges wrote. They gave the state 45 days to develop a plan to reduce the number of inmates in the 33 adult prisons from about 150,000 to 110,000 over two years.

A police notice of public nuisance is affixed on a resident's door in Narragansett, R.I., on Thursday.
enacted, said the stickers were generally given out after excessively loud or offensive parties. They were intended to warn the tenants against hosting future bashes and to make guests think twice about partying there. The vast majority of them were that the parties did not heed the warnings, did not quiet down, did not disperse, waited for the officers to leave and then came back worse than ever, said Smith, who retired and now heads Rhode Islands Emergency Management Agency. The law was modeled after a similar ordinance in Tucson, Ariz., intended to rein in underage drinking among University of Arizona students, said Tucson city prosecutor Alan Merritt. Other cities, including Milwaukee and Dayton, Ohio, allow so-called shaming signs to be placed on properties whose owners have ignored warnings to bring them up to code. Landlords who also are sent notice of the stickers are fighting the law, too, saying theyre being held responsible for behavior over which they have no control. Walter Manning said he returned from a vacation last year to fi nd an orange sticker posted on a ranch house he was renting to four URI students. He said he struggled for months to fi nd new tenants for the next year he believes because of the stickers stigma ultimately renting the house to a young family. This law seems to think that Im an adoptive parent of these children or young adults, Manning said. It unfairly labels me, as a landlord, as someone doing something wrong. Spatcher, the URI student, received a sticker after a January 2008 house party that drew the police following a fi stfi ght outside. David Keach, a fellow URI student who moved into the house later that year, said he believes the sticker put the property on the police departments radar, encouraging officers to fi nd additional infractions. Months later, the tenants were each fi ned $300 after another house party, though that penalty is being appealed. The stickers, Keach said, are to say that these people are disturbing the peace, theyre a public nuisance. But whos to say that? he asked. The police? Theyre the ones who decide whos the public nuisance? Shouldnt it be the people who live right next to them? Shouldnt it be the people ... actually affected by it?

About 8,000 additional inmates have been sent to prisons in other states, while nearly 10,000 more are in conservation camps and community correctional facilities. Judges said the billions of dollars the state has spent on prisons has not kept inmates from dying regularly from suicides or medical neglect. Federal courts previously found the level of care was so poor that it violated inmates constitutional rights. Conditions remain so cramped that they are leading to increased violence and speed the transmission of infectious diseases, the judges said. The medical and mental health care available to inmates in the California prison system is woefully and constitutionally inadequate, and has

been for more than a decade, the judges wrote in their 184page order. Tuesdays action formalized a tentative ruling by the panel in February and follows a federal court hearing that ended in January. The Schwarzenegger administration said it would appeal but had no immediate response to the formalized order. Republican legislators also have promised a separate appeal. Under a 1996 federal law that restricts judges actions in inmate rights cases, appeals will go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court. This is clearly some federal judges trying to intervene in the state of California with disregard with what the impact is going to be on communities, said state Sen. George Runner.

Students sell items at campus yard sale

Today many students will discover that one mans trash truly is another mans treasure. The Activities Board is hosting BYUs fourth annual swap meet. Named Brighams Yard Sale, the swap meet will take place today at Brigham Square from 5-7 p.m. Its pretty much a big yard sale on campus, said Spencer Glenn, an activities coordinator from Burley, Idaho. While some students are more inclined to sift through the many items at this years full event, other students prefer to sell. The booths are sold out, but students can still pay to use a table and chairs for $5 at the Wilkinson Center information desk. We only allow students to sell, but anyone can come by, Glenn said. Students, community members whoever. Last year, Brighams Yard Sale included $10 bikes, lots of clothing, electronics, DVDs, books and handmade jewelry.

No go: Paramount wont let critics see G.I. Joe

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Its the biggest movie of the summer that practically no one has seen. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra opens Friday, but Paramount Pictures isnt screening the blockbuster for critics beforehand. Only a select few writers from blogs and movie Web sites have seen it for review such as Harry Knowles, the self-professed Head Geek from Aint It Cool News and their opinions have been mostly positive. Instead, the studio says its intentionally aiming the movie at the heartland, at cities and audiences outside the entertainment vortexes of New York and Los Angeles. Paramount held a screening Friday for 1,000 military service members and their families at Andrews Air Force Base; its also focusing marketing efforts in places like Kansas City, Charlotte, N.C., and Columbus, Ohio. While appealing to a sense of patriotism nationwide, the plan also is inspired by the disparity that existed between the critical trashing Transformers: Rise of the Fallen received and the massive crowds completed product, though, G.I. Joe drew mixed buzz at best for its trailer, which premiered during the Super Bowl. Now its the final action picture of the summer and it has a lot in common with the highest-grossing film so far this year, the Transformers sequel. Both are effects-laden spectacles based on Hasbro toys and both are Paramount releases from producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Transformers has gone on to gross more than $388 million in the United States alone since its opening six weeks ago, despite receiving just 20 percent positive reviews on the Web site Rotten Tomatoes, a critical aggregator. The withholding of G.I. Joe from mainstream critics suggests that the studios believe they can succeed at the box office without them. Its a tactic normally reserved for horror movies or other genre pictures with built-in fans who dont necessarily care about reviews ones based on video games, for example not summer blockbusters. Still, G.I. Joe has been tracking well because it represents the last big bang of the season, said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com.

Joe is a big, fun, summer event movie one that weve seen audiences enjoy everywhere from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to Phoenix, Ariz., said Rob Moore, vice chairman of Paramount Pictures. After the chasm we experienced with Transformers 2 between the response of audiences and critics, we chose to forgo openingday print and broadcast reviews as a strategy to promote G.I. Joe. We want audiences to define this film. With a reported production budget of $175 million and a cast that includes Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, G.I. Joe follows the adventures of an elite team using high-tech spy and military equipment to take down a corrupt arms dealer.

Scattered within that time schedule are phone calls to different universities to help set up internships for the Mark Shurtleff campaign, or trips up to Salt Lake for meetings or trying to call delegates, line up their support, stuff like that, Squires says with a shrug. Its pretty much a typical day. That is, a typical day for someone whose first acquainare covered in patriotic decor, including wooden red, white and blue stars. From a young age, he became interested in politics, and his parents say he has always believed his voice could make a difference. Hes always been an ambitious young man, said his mother Pam, proudly. She said that when the Olympics were in Salt Lake City, Squires wrote a letter to Mitt Romney protesting the dispensing of condoms on street corners because he didnt think it gave a good impression of the community. The first political campaign in which Squires was an avid participant was for Brent Cook in a city council race. My parents supported him, and I obviously, by default, supported him, too, he said. So, did he win? Uh, no, he severely lost, he said. He really lost. I think it was like at least 2 to 1. Later, he worked on a congressional campaign for John Swallows in 2002, where Swallows lost to incumbent Jim Matheson. Then I helped out in 2004, and in that election he lost by an even larger margin, which was really a hard thing to deal with, Squires says. But, you know, every campaigns been an experience. Has Squires ever worked for a winning campaign? Lets see, he said, and pauses. President Bush? In the fall, Squires will be studying for the LSAT, continuing on with Shurtleff s senate bid, and engaging more students in the political process through the College Republicans. A message we can put forward is that government isnt there to provide everything, because a government that can provide everything, can take everything, Squires said. And theres certain elements to the American Dream and a certain level of pride that comes when you can actually make it on your own.

tance with politics came at age five, riding in the car with his dad and listening to Rush Limbaugh on talk radio. Ive probably brainwashed the poor kid, said his dad, Jeff, a self-described rightwing redneck. Since then, Squires has been actively involved with at least five political campaigns, and says eventually he hopes to serve as a congressman, representing a western state in Washington. In fact, politics is such an important part of Squiress life that it affects his dating decisions. My wife will definitely have to tolerate politics, he said. Squires grew up in a politically minded family. His parents home is scattered with books by Republican pundits like Ann Coulter and Limbaugh, and some of the walls

Volunteers are immersed in Chinese culture

By KRISY BENNETT
For Megan Inama, the best part of her experience in China was the people. Inama, a sophomore from Riverton, volunteered with International Language Programs to teach English in China. It was great to actually be living there, she said.I was able to live with the Chinese, eat with them, talk to them and love them in a way that never would have been possible if I was just visiting on a vacation. Students who volunteer with the international learning program are able to travel overseas to teach young children English. Many volunteers express feelings of excitement as well as nervousness as most do not know much about the new language and culture. Inama shared an experience about one particular girl she was able to help while she was overseas. Annie, the young girl, struggled in school as well as socially. Inama said she was able to help Annie express herself and feel loved. To Inama, this was the greatest thing she could have ever helped Annie to understand, to be affectionate and to grow emotionally as well as intellectually. I have made some life-long friends being over in China and the experiences I have acquired will always be cherished, she said. The International Language Programis a service-oriented, nonprofit organization. In order to raise the funds for the program fees, the program suggests the volunteers do fundraising because the donations are tax-deductible. Volunteers are expected to pay for their own program fees as well as providing the teaching supplies. I am so excited to teach English to elementary students inChina, said Heidi Housel, a sophomore from South Jordan, who will be going to China in two weeks. The nervousness for living in China hasnt quite settled in yet. Im just nervous right now about making sure I bring all the teaching supplies Ill need, and come up with productive and fun lesson plans. Volunteers said their main goal is to create an opportunity to make learning English fun for their students. The International Language Program began in 1992 and has worked with thousands of college-aged volunteers over the years. The organization is not only for LDS students, but has a Code of Conduct consistent with standards of the LDS Church.

In this November 2007 file photo, children run across the foundation of an unfinished home in Hildale. Third District Judge Denise Lindberg rejected a proposed settlement on July 22 that would have returned control of a state-managed land trust to followers of polygamous leader Warren Jeffs.

feet and legs brought on by protein/calorie malnutrition. This deterioration will continue to accelerate and become harder to reverse the longer it persists, Mortenson wrote in a letter to Judge Steven F. Conn. His death could be imminent without immediate medical intervention. Contacted by cell phone Tuesday by The Associated Press, Mortenson said federal privacy laws prevented her from making any comment. I cant even tell you if Ive seen him, she said. Jeffs, 53, is the head of the Utah-based Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He is jailed awaiting trial on charges related to alleged underage marriages involving sect girls. Jeffs was moved to Kingman from the Utah State Prison in February 2008. In September 2007, a Utah jury convicted Jeffs of two counts of rape as an accomplice for his role in the 2001 marriage of an underage follower to her husband. He was sentenced to two consecutive prison terms of five years to life. On Tuesday, Jeffs Tucson, Ariz., attorney Michael Piccarreta said he did not know the status of his clients medical condition, but that the situation was not unusual. Mr. Jeffs is a deeply religious man and sometimes engages in lengthy religious practices while in jail. When he does, he declines food and beverages and this sometimes occurs, he said. If you look at other religious and political people who have been wrongly incarcerated, youll see others have gone through this. Piccarreta, who represents Jeffs in two pending criminal cases, said he believed Mohave County handled the situation appropriately. Jeffs is more than 6 feet tall and has always been slight, Piccarreta noted. Theres not a lot of extra pounds, he said. A former fugitive on the FBIs Most Wanted list, Jeffs was arrested in August 2006 during a traffic stop near Las Vegas. While in a southern Utah jail awaiting trial, he suffered from depression, dropped as much as 30 pounds and was hospitalized after an attempted suicide in January 2007. Throughout his incarceration Jeffs has been known to fast and spend long periods on his knees in prayer. Earlier this year, Mohave Countys deputy jail director Bruce Brown told the AP that Jeffs had not had any significant health problems. Jeffs had been eating three meals a day and maintaining his weight, Brown said. Jeffs is also facing criminal charges of bigamy and sexual assault of a child in Texas. The charges stem from information gathered by authorities during a raid on a church ranch near Eldorado last year. Jeffs, who is revered as a prophet who communicates with God, commands a flock roughly 12,000 strong despite his incarceration

BEAVER Polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs is being force-fed in jail for the second time in less than a week after again refusing to eat, Arizona officials said on Tuesday. Mohave County sheriffs spokeswoman Trish Carter said force feeding of Jeffs started Friday at the Kingman, Ariz., jail after it was found he was not eating. Jeffs subsequently started eating on his own again and continued doing so until Monday night, she said. But on Tuesday, Jeffs again refused to eat and is now being force-fed via a tube down his throat that delivers liquid nutrition, Carter said. Mr. Jeffs is closely being watched 24 hours a day, a statement from Carter said. In a letter filed with the Mohave Superior Court on Friday, the jails medical director said Jeffs had been refusing food and was no longer urinating. Medical Director Kirsten Mortenson said Jeffs vital signs were worsening and he was suffering peripheral edema the swelling of extremities like hands,

Students urged to be still and place their trust in the Lord

B y T I F FA N Y S O L L I S
Students should be still, become humble and place trust in the Lord, they were told in Tuesdays devotional. Erin Maughan, an assistant professor in BYUs College of Nursing, shared a variety of personal experiences that she said taught her to be still and know the Lord. She said her own life has been filled with stress. Initially she said she thought this stress motivated her to work harder, but she has realized this was an error. About a year ago, I was talking to a friend who turned to me and simply said, To worry is to lack faith, Maughan said. Maughan said this statement struck her hard. Think about it it really does make sense, she said. If we worry and try and put it all on our shoulders we are not trusting the Lord. She said this counsel has helped calm her in times when she didnt understand why events occurred in her life. As the international coordinator for the College of Nursing, Maughan accompanied nursing students to England so they could complete the required clinical hours in a clinical setting for their degree. They partnered with a university that arranged those hours to be completed in a local hospital. Shortly after beginning the program, however, Maughan was told that because of a change in visa rules the students could no longer continue their work. Maughan and the students scrambled and prayed hard to find other opportunities to work in the health care system. Maughan said she had many students say the experience gave them a broader outlook of the health care system. A change that seemed devastating at first became a blessing because we changed our perspective, she said. Be still and know that I am God literally became our motto. Maughan quoted Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin who said, The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in

he simple secret is this ... Put your trust in the Lord, do your best and leave the rest up to him.

how happy and successful we can be. Maughan said she knows life can be difficult for students. The simple secret is this, she said. Put your trust in the Lord, do your best and leave the rest up to him.

Small towns struggling to find more officers

Associated Press
CENTERVILLE, Iowa In small towns, one more cop really does make a difference. In the rural Iowa town of Centerville, just one more officer will help the eight-person department investigate a church burning, a kidnapping case and a slaying that happened last year alone. The single hire in Princess Anne, Md., will fill a second investigator slot. And in Cando, N.D., it will prevent the only two officers from burning out as they try to protect their town 24-7. Were not a very big town, but were extremely busy, Centerville Police Chief Tom Demry said. Were one of the poorest counties in the state. ... We just daily have more than our fair share. These towns all qualified for one more cop through a $1 billion federal economic stimulus program that nationwide will pay for 4,699 officers. In some cities, that will mean 10 or 20 new hires. But in 530 small communities, more than half of the departments receiving the money, it will pay for a single new hire and for that theyre grateful. It makes a whole lot of difference, said Police Chief Ray Sales in Buena Vista, Ga., who plans to hire a sixth officer Most of the time I would work by myself, pull the shift by myself, but now Ive got somebody that will work with me. To visitors walking through Centervilles leafy town square, the area appears to be prospering. But the southern Iowa town of 5,400 gets more ragged toward its edges. More than 500 people lost their jobs when the Rubbermaid Home Products plant closed in 2006, hurting a community that already was dealing with

In this Monday photo, Bill Messerole, principal of Centerville High School, poses at the school, in Centerville, Iowa. Centerville will receive funding to hire an additional police officer and is among five Iowa cities to receive the funding to hire a total of 22 officers for three years at a cost of about $5 million.
low wages and drug problems, Appanoose County Attorney Richard Scott said. Crime reached a high point in the past year, with the kidnapping, church burning and homicide cases. Any one of the crimes would have taxed the small police department. The sheriffs office helped, but the killing of a 56-year-old woman and wounding of her estranged husband was especially difficult. We had to have guys work overtime, working extra hours on days off, Demry said. The federal grants were calculated based on factors including unemployment, foreclosures and poverty rates as well as FBI crime rates. The Centerville Police Department will add one officer with the federal money and another officer with money from the city budget to bring the total police force to 10, including Demry. One thing that we see a lot of is the problems span generations, Demry said. We have kids now, 20 years ago their parents were doing the same thing, and their grandparents. I know that sounds terrible, but its true. Demry plans to assign an officer to the schools and hopes that will help break that cycle. The officer will give young children a positive impression of the law and will make it easier for high school students to talk with police. Centerville High School Principal Bill Messerrole said its been five years since an officer was assigned to the schools, but he remembers that back then, the officer made a difference. We were able to resolve a lot of issues that potentially could have been criminal but were solved before they got to that point, he said. Stan Maddy, who works in a downtown sporting goods store, said whether in the schools or on the streets, one officer would really help the tight-knit community. Youll get small-town problems, not gangs or anything, that one officer can handle, Maddy said. Small kids learn

Union official says AFL on the brink of bankruptcy

Associated Press
The Arena Football League is on the brink of folding and declaring bankruptcy, an inglorious end for the 22-year-old indoor league that has suffered through a year of turmoil. James Guidry, the regional director of the AFL players association, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that it seems to be inevitable at this point that the AFL will soon announce that it has ceased operations. Guidry, speaking by telephone, said the players association will accept the owners decision. Were waiting to see if this decision has been finalized by the AFL, Guidry said. The AFL suspended play for the 2009 season, but some owners expressed hope that the league would return in some form in 2010. David Baker abruptly resigned as league commissioner two days before the 2008 ArenaBowl championship game. Owners did not look for a replacement. The Jon Bon Jovi-owned Philadelphia Soul, the last ArenaBowl champions, appear to have shut down. Their Web site only posts a simple message thanking fans for their support over the past five seasons. The Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation has been renamed the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. Bon Jovi did not immediately return a request for comment. Craig Spencer, another co-owner, declined comment and hung up when asked about the future of the league. ESPN, which owns a small equity share in the league, said it is not involved in management of the AFL. This is entirely an internal AFL matter, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said. Our telecast agreement with the league has been terminated. Soul wide receiver Chris Jackson said the demise of the league was not a surprise once owners could not agree on longterm structural improvements that would keep it profitable. A disagreement among owners about whether to bring in a private equity firm to invest in the league appeared a major sticking point in December. We werent creating enough revenue. Salaries were going up and without revenue coming in, it was a bad business model, Jackson said. Thats one thing that they wanted to focus on and change some of those things. They tried. They tried to market the league as a whole instead of small franchises likes Grand Rapids vs. L.A. The owners knew there was too much money to be lost. The last update on the AFLs Web site is an April release that said the league was finalizing a revitalized business model that would allow it to compete in 2010. But the leagues owners did not agree on a plan that would allow them to commit to a 2010 season and beyond. The Los Angeles Avengers dropped out of the league in April. The New Orleans VooDoo, owned by Saints owner Tom Benson, shut down last year. I knew it wasnt going to come back, especially the way we as players wanted it to come back, Jackson said. The AFLs offshoot, known as af2, played this season and is in the midst of the ArenaCup playoffs. The AFL owns 50.1 percent of the af2. If the AFL goes under, it wont greatly affect the minor-league version because the af2 is solvent, selffunded and they pay its bills, Iowa Barnstormers co-owner Jeff Lamberti said. The af2 executive committee has been working on contingency plans ever since the AFL announced it was suspending its season last year. Possible new plans range from combining af2 and defunct AFL teams to create a revamped league, or perhaps a new league with two tiers much like AFL/AF2 with a different economic model or just leave the af2 as is with a new name. I think the important thing that we do know as far as the current af2, whether we change our name or something to be a little more appropriate in the light of AFL, that as a league were strong, were going to continue, were going to play, Lamberti said. In our opinion, worst-case scenario, we simply become a separate entity and continue as we have. The AFL found a niche in the sports world thanks to its 50-yard fields and high-scoring games. Former NFL MVP Kurt Warner is the leagues most successful graduate. The league totaled 135,347 fans during the inaugural 12-game 1987 season, but eventually was televised on both NBC and ESPN. The AFL received a needed image boost earlier this decade when celebrity owners such as Bon Jovi and NFL Hall of Famer John Elway served as pitchmen for the league.

In this December 2006 photo, former Minnesota Vikings lineman Randall McDaniel works with a second grade reading group known as the Green Reading Group at Neill Elementary in Crystal, Minn. McDaniel will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, in Canton, Ohio.

McDaniel heads to Hall of Fame

Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS Randall McDaniel still looks as if he could lower his 6-foot4, 275-pound frame into that strange, off-balance stance and line up at left guard, poised to plow into the guy on the other side. He has other work to do, though. Fitting with his preference to be in the background during a 14-year NFL career along the relative anonymity of the offensive line, hes now a full-time basic skills instructor at an elementary school in a Minneapolis suburb spending his time with second-graders born far too late to have seen his success with the Minnesota Vikings. In the classroom, hes known simply as Mr. McDaniel. Its the hardest job youll ever love, said McDaniel, one of this years Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees. Hes teaching instead of blocking, but its again impossible for him to avoid the attention and the praise. After a league-record 12 straight trips to the Pro Bowl and seven times as an Associated Press first team All-Pro, McDaniel is bound this weekend for Canton, Ohio, to join the games greats. Despite the age of his students, well, it was inevitable the full story would emerge. A lot of the kids figured out I used to play football, McDaniel said in a recent interview with The AP. Once the Hall of Fame announcement came out, they were all like, Wow, you were really good! Yes, indeed. He was durable, for one. McDaniel and another Hall of Fame guard, Bruce Matthews, are the only two NFL players who appeared in every game during the 1990s. He was athletic, taking part in baseball, basketball and track as a kid and arriving at Arizona State as a tight end, before blossoming into a guard who was so quick he sometimes outpaced the running back he was pulling for downfield. The Vikings chose him with the 19th pick in the first round in 1988. McDaniel owned a special mix of power and intelligence, too, as opponents could attest over 12 seasons with the Vikings and two with Tampa Bay. Hed block the mess out of you, said motormouth former Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp, who faced McDaniel many times but never was able to distract with his infamous trash talk. I would either drag you into talking with me or I would make you hate me talking at you so much that I knew it bothered you. I couldnt do that to him. He wouldnt talk and wouldnt let me know that it was bothering him. Hed just keep playing, keep blocking. The lasting image of McDaniels career is that awkward stance, a technique no sane coach would ever endorse. Heres how it started: Teammate Todd Kalis accidentally rolled into McDaniels knee early in his second season with Minnesota, and he was supposed to be out for a month.
