In the event of a re in SessionsResidential Hall at USU Eastern,1,200 feet of hose may be neededto save lives.
In April 1989, the Utah StateLegislature enacted the UniformBuilding Standards Act Utah 58-56 (UBS) in an effort to createuniformity in the constructionrequirements throughout the state.Prior to April 1989, building re -quirements were at the discretionof the municipalities or counties.Article one, section nine of theU.S. Constitution, prevents theact from being imposed on build -
ings built before the passing ofthe UBS.
As a matter of public safety,Utah R710-4-3 requires at leastone fire drill per nine-monthschool year as long as the buildinghas a functioning alarm system,detailed oor plans, is not classi -
ed as a high rise, and does notcontain excessive quantities ofhazardous materials in academicbuildings. The drill requirementdoes not require proximity to anexternal water source or necessi -tate an internal sprinkl ing system.
The Eldon B. Sessions resi -dential hall (Sessions) was lastrenovated and dedicated in Oc -tober 1988.
While the occupants of Ses -sions have previously been de -pendent on a hydrant on the southside of the hall, during an annualtest during the summer, the PriceWater and Sewer Dept. and USUpersonnel found a leak in the watersource. The hydrant has since had abag placed over it, to ensure that itis not tapped in the event of a r e.
The problem with this hy -drant is that we cant just repairit. It needs to be moved to anotherlocation. Steve Bell, Utah StateUniversity re marshal, said in anemail, A new location has beenselected, which will ser ve [as] the

[email protected] The USU Eastern Price
campus was in a state of nearlock down and confusion onTuesday, Sept. 25, when alocal resident allegedly shota high-powered ri e into theair near campus.
At about 6 p.m., Of cerCletus Steele, of campuspolice, was in the parkinglot behind the USU Easternpurchasing and receivingbuilding when he heard thereport of what he identi edas a high-powered ri e. Steelewas the rst of cer on sceneat 660 North 200 East, Price.
Price City Police, whowere short handed that eve -ning, arrived five or sixminutes after the shooting,followed by the county and
state police. Helper PoliceChief Trent Anderson andUSU Eastern Police ChiefJames Prettyman came laterto assist. The of cer on dutyin Wellington offered to assist,but wasnt needed at the time.Sergeant tracy Allred wasthe rst of the city police totake charge, but was relievedshortly after by Captain BillBarnes.
Attempting to contact theresident, Ralph Schade, thepolice were unable to nd anyphone numbers for him. Un -able to get a car close enoughto the house without putting anof cer in danger due to the dis -tance of the front of the houseto the street and the alley run -ning parallel to the back, thepolice attempted to contactSchade by megaphone.
Witnesses claim that theysaw Schade step into his front
yard and re two to four timesinto the air with either a high-powered ri e or a shotgun, toboth of which types of weaponhe, as a hunter, would havehad access. None of thesewitnesses claim to have seenhim leave; the city policespeculate that this c ould havebeen easily done through thealley behind the house.
According to a KSL reportand the Price City Police,Schade and his wife deny anyinvolvement.
On scene, Steele calledPrettyman with what he knew.Prettyman then contactedBlaney Hanvey, residentiallife coordinator. Hanvey senttexts to the residential advi -sors, Please have all residentsstay inside. We need them tostay out of the way of police.Dont give any more informa -

Eastern has the least namerecognition of any other institu -tion in the state, according toGreg Dart, director of enrollmentservices. Weve got to marketbetter than anyone in the stateand thats what we plan to do,Dart said speaking of the USUEastern ambassador team.
Last year, 2011-2012, 98potential students attended the
seven Eagle Experiences plannedto come onto the Eastern campusand see how their li fe could be.As of Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012,exactly 500 potential studentswere signed up for the seven EagleExperiences planned for this year.Dart said, These numbers arenothing short of amazing.
Eagle Experience is a vitalpart of recruiting of USU East -ern. Someone who has visiteda college campus is four timesmore likely to enroll. Someonewho goes on an overnight visit
to a campus has an 80 percentlikelihood of enrolling for thefall semester.
New strategies have taken overthe ambassador presentation tothe many college days attendedthroughout the year. Rather than apresentation of facts and gures,such as tuition costs, ambassadorsgive potential students a lookinto what life is really li ke on theUSU Eastern campus. An outlineof a very involved students lifeis shared to demonstrate how

Internet services at USUEasterns residential units werelisted as poor, as well as theenforcement of visitation hours,according to a fall 2011 surveyof residential life residents.The survey asked questionsabout students experiences oncampus, housing, activities andfood. They were asked to agre e,
disagree or remain neutral to aseries of questions about cam -pus life.
Most students agreed thatthey would recognize their halldirector if they passed in the ha ll,however, students seemed lesscomfortable actually talking totheir hall dire ctor about issues orconcerns. Most students seemedmore comfortable in going totheir RA (resident advisor) withproblems.
Word was getting out about
hall activities with responses ofagree and strongly agree,although most students saidthat they do not actually attendsuch events. When asked to giveideas for what activities theywould like to see in their hallsstudents suggested more partiesand more food.

Three senators, four membersof the Utah House of Represen -tatives and state administratorsvisited the USU Eastern campuson Sept. 25, to take a closer lookat the plans for the proposed artsand education building.
The purpose of the visit was tolet the legislator see the improve -
ments (Reeves and the WIB) thathave already been made to theUSU Eastern campus, as well assee the third of the campus thatstill needs to be updated (theSAC, Geary Theater and musicbuilding).
USU Eastern administrationhoped that the visit would helpthe legislators see the need oncampus for the building. And thatthey did, They expressed greatunderstanding and sympathy,
said Chancellor Joe Peterson.However, they expressed con -cern towards enrollment at USUEastern. Peterson agrees thatenrollment is an issue on campus.
The USU Eastern recruitmentteam is making strides towardsraising enrollment for fall 2013.If future enrollment increases,USU Eastern administrationexpects to be another step closerto receiving funding for the pro -posed building.

In the event of an emergency on theUSU Eastern-Price campus, only 136people would be informed as of Sept. 25.
The Code Blue system uses studentspreferred email address a nd phone contactinformation to spread information aboutemergencies or hazardous situations thatmight require students to evacuate or staywhere they are. The information is givento a few university authorities who caneither use it to send out messages preparedin advance or to create warnings and sendthem to students.

According to Terry Johnson,SUN Center director, 40 people
from the USU Eastern commu -nity gave $15 each to sponsorthe 58-race participants in theAnnual 5K race. Some spon -sored more than one runner.
We needed participants whowere in fairly good shape so theathletic department took on ourchallenge. This helped on at leastthree levels: assisted our student
athletes to be better prepared fortheir games, served those in needin the community and brought asmile to your own heart, he said.
One half of the baseball teamshowed up to run that morning aswell as basketball players. ActiveRe-Entry didnt turn them awayand let them run for the cause.Coach Paur offered to make up
the difference between the 48sponsorships we had collectedand the 58 that actually ran, butwe didnt feel that was necessaryas the physical support was a bighelp, Johnson said. Besides that,a few extra bodies meant therewere more there to buy bread,pies, donation tickets, etc., so it

Three things that you didnt know were making you smarter
Last week I depressed you bysaying three things that were mak-ing you dumber without you know-ing it. And I feel bad about that, Ireally do. In effort to make t hingsup, Ive decided to perk you up
with this newestarticle, and
so withoutf u r t h e rado, I pres-
ent you withthree unsus-
p e c t i n gthings
that can boost your brain power inways that you would never expect.Things like
3-What youre wearing:Throughout this article I willmake reference to studies done byscientists and researchers because,well, most of us accept that scien-tists are smar t guys. But what madethem quali ed? Genes? That so
called education? What if it turnsout that their secret is those fancylab coats theyre always wearing?Well surprise! In a study knownas a Stroop test (it measures brain-power) scientists tested a group ofparticipants where half of themwere dressed in a lab coat whilethe others were dr essed normally.The results? Those wearing the labcoats only made half the mistakes
of those who didnt wear the coats.While I would like to wish that it
simply takes a lab coat to suddenlyhave 45 extra IQ points, apparentlyit doesnt work like that. And just tomake sure that thi s wasnt some sortof insane uke, they made anothertest, where participants had to ndthe differences between similarpictures. With this test, some of
the participants were given labcoats while the other stayed intheir ordinary clothes. Of those inthe lab coats, half knew they werein actual lab coats while the oth-ers were told they were in simplepainters clothing. Again the resultsshowed that those in the lab coatshad scored signi cantly higherthan those who thought they werein painters clothes as well as those
in regular clothes.The researchers believe that
wearing a lab coat simply makes usfeel smarter, and as other psycholo-gists have found; simply believingyoure smarter a ctually makes yousmarter. Of course on the otherhand, this seems to mean that weall think that painters are idiots.
2 -Your Attitude. Yes I know that
many people are fans of a positiveoutlook on life and say thanks to it,they make it through the day, leavetheir house with a smile and comeback with that same one plasteredover their face. To them, the worldand their job is nothing but sunshineand gumdrops. Psychologists, soci-ety, even our parents would like usto believe that our positive moodswings make us and the world a
better place. Better? Debatable. Butmore intelligent - absolutely not.
Multiple studies have proventhis, and one Australian researcherhas even gone as far as to say, Angstand sadness promote informationprocessing strategies best suitedto dealing with more demandingsituations. To prove this he madeparticipa nts watch short lms about
cancer and death which provided anatural excuse for the somber moodbefore passing out different tests.These tests were designed evaluatearithmetic, past recollection andeven judgment. When the timefor grading came, he found thatthose who had been subjected tothe lms had made fewer mistakes,were better judges of character, and
Sometimes it seems li ke it was yesterday,
while other times it seems like it hasbeen an eternity since the sudden deathof beloved coach and mentor Brad Bar ton onthe one-year anniversary of his death Oct.4. What remains are the memories of theman whose life was cut short too soon, butwhose legendary principals live onin so many people whose lives heaffected in countless ways.
On Sunday, his facebook pagewas updated with a photo of him asa young child and another of himas an adult. In his handwriting on12/24/09, he signed Brad Barton, 61 1/2 and wrote, Tomorrow is apromise to no one. Whether it bedeju vu or just drawing the shortstraw, Bartons 31 years provideda lifetime of memories to everyonehe came in contact with.
Oct. 4, 2011It was a typical Tuesday night
on Oct. 4, 2011, for The Eagle st aff.The front page was almost laid out and allthe pages were being lled with what wouldturn out to be mundane stories in comparisonto what was unfolding in t he BDAC.
Coach Barton had not shown up forpractice that after noon so his assistant coachBrian Edelstein drove to his apartment innorth Price to check on him. He found the
coach, who fought diabetes since he was 14,
dead in his bathroom.Tears poured in buckets throughoutcampus that week, as the disbelief of thistireless, energetic and driven coach wasremembered. His facebook page was lledwith a makeshift memorial to honor him as
a fr iend, son, brother, player, coach and mostimportant, as an incredible human being.Hundreds attended his funeral at t he WeberState Dee Events Center in Ogden and hiscandlelight vigil in Price. He was buried ina basketball uniform, in a wooden casketremin iscent of the wood strips on a basketballcourt with his te am signing the outside of it.
September 2012
His September 2012 facebook postsincluded, Today I will seize the day withpassion because I know if Brad Barton werehere, hed do the same. How many lives canbe touched by one man? Brad knew and Inow know the power of one by Travis
Fey. Former Eagle staffer and EU basketballplayer Jasmine Petit, posted, You mightnot be here physically, but you will alwaysbe in my heart. Others wrote always re-membered, never forgotten. Another wrote,this is hard, not a day goes by that I dontthink of you and miss you. You have beenthat person for me and I know you always
will be. Playing for you tonight
On campus this week, Athletic DirectorDave Paur said, Its hard to believe Bradhas been gone for one year. It seems likeyesterday he came busting into my of ce,Coach P, this is my all-time favorite book;I love it and know you will love it too. That
book is still on my desk, a reminderof a gentle giant whose memorieswill always be with me.
Dean of Students, Alex Herzog,added,When a drop of water hitsa pond, it creates ripples that willcover the surface of the pond. Bradwas that drop of water and USUEastern and Price was the pond.His passion for life resonated witheverything he did and he touched alot of lives in our community. Bradwas a great guy, good friend andsorely missed.
Former Eagle editor and assis-tant baseball coach, KC Smurth-waite, said, I remember speaking
to Brad the day before he died. He was prettyup-beat after having a good day of practice.He really loved basketball and think hewould have moved on to bigger stages a fterEastern. One thing I will always rememberis that he always made an effort to talk tome. I can still remember the goofy face he

The second amendment to theU.S. Constitution guarantees, theright of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed. UtahState University, while it doesntnecessarily infringe that right, willnot tell you the extent to which youmay exercise your constitution-ally guaranteed autonomy withweapons.
The University of Utah hasmaintained that the protection ofthe rst amendment right to freeexchange of ideas and informationwithout reason to fear or be coercedrequires that rear ms be removedfrom academic environments en-tirely. In March 2002, the U of U
led suit against Attorney GeneralMark Shurtleff, who argued thatthe ban on weapons infringed on
the rights of those who are per mit-ted to carry concealed weaponsanywhere other than legislativelydetermined safe zones. The resultof this lawsuit is found in Utah53B-3-103 .
In an effort to maintain the
integrity of Utah as a free state, thestate limits the carrying of rearmsin prisons, courts and airports. Onthe campuses of publicly fundedinstitutions of higher education,Utah 53B-3-103 stipulates that it isthe privilege of the state legislatureto regulate rearms. The sectiongives the power to establish nomore than one secure area at acollege for use as a hearing room,in which rearms may be bannedto the institution. Furthermore, thestate code authorizes institutions toinstitute rules permitting residentsto request roommates who do notcarry currently valid concealedcarry permits.
It does not mandate that allinstitutions must make such arule, nor does it permit the schoolto require that students withoutconcealed carry permits not keepother, potentially deadly, weaponsin their residences; a right which
could be interpreted from Utah 76-2-405 which permits deadly forcein the protection of an individualshabitation.
The USU Eastern residentiallife handbook prohibits in theresidential halls, Firearms or otherweapons, per the code. It is oftenstated by residential life authorities,that those wishing to keep rearmsat the college may keep them intheir vehicles or in t he purchasingand receiving/police station.
The USU Student Code V-3B-20 (section relating to miscon-duct) warns students that disci-plinary action will be taken in theevent of, Illegal or unauthorized
possession or use of a rearm, am -munition, explosives, weapons, ordangerous chemical s on Universityproperty.
The CEU Code of Conduct4.1.11 prohibits: Illegal or unau-thorized possession of rearms,
explosives, other weapons, ordangerous chemicals on collegepremises or use of any such items,even if legally possessed, in a man-ner that harms, threatens or causesfear to others.
While it is a citable offensein the state of Utah to brandish
rearms or use them to threatenwithout cause, neither the state northe school de ne what threatens orcauses fear. It would seem safe tosay that there will always be thosewho will fear rearms, and that byso stating in the code of conduct,USU Eastern effectively bans re -arms from residential halls.
While many acquire concealed
carry permits so that they maycarry outside of their homes, thestate of Utah recognizes the rightof individuals to carry rearmswithout such permits in their habi-tations, and effectively recognizesautomobiles as an extension of an
individuals habitation.That the college, state and fed-
eral codes permit the possessionof rearms on college campus bythose who are not using them forintimidation or in a threateningmanner, is not something thatthe residential lifeauthorities will tellthe student body.The college maylimit open carryto law enforce-ment, but is notafforded theprivilege oflimiting con-

Of cer Jason Marshal, whowas in the Bunnel Dmitrich Ath -letic Center, was asked to adviseas many students as possible, thatthey should avoid north Price ifthey needed to leave campus, notto loiter outdoors and to stay outof the way of the police.
Marshal started in the WesternInstructional Building, closestto the shooting, and the Jennifer
Leavitt Student Center. The BDACwas also effectively closed.
Nobody was locked down.Prettyman said, People perceivedit as being a lock down. It reallydidnt meet the de nition becausewe didnt send out a Code Bluewarning.

only 136 students and faculty atUSU Eastern were signed up for

This year, students at theUSU Eastern Pric e campus havean increased opportunity to ndemployment on campus. Deanof Student Life, Dr. Alex Herzogrequested that the institutionfund additional work-study dol -lars by $50,000. T his effectivelydoubles the money available tohire students on campus.
In past years, it has beennoted that many students are notonly struggling to nd employ -ment, but being forced to choosebetween working at a distantlocation, or attending classes.Work-study programs were cre -ated to remedy that problem byproviding students with a workenvironment that is conduciveto academic success.
Although the U.S. Govern -ment-operated FAFSA nanceswork-study opportunities forstudents who qualify (about30-40 each year), there aremany more who could bene tfrom an on-campus job. Herzogwants to provide students with
every possible way to succeed.So he, along with the nancialaid of ce, have implemented acampus-wide program, inde -pendent from FAFSA, whichprovides 30-40 more jobs forUSU Eastern students.
Departments such as, foodservices, distance education,maintenance, auxiliary, recordsand registra tion, the BDAC, dis -ability resource center, Englishand math labs, teachers assis -tants, athletics and theatre techare hiring student employees.The departments pay 25 percentof the wages and the work-studyfund pays the remaining 75percent.
There are exceptions for de -partments with great need andlittle to no funding; they ar e ableto go through a process to applyfor work-study employees paidfor fully by the institutional f und.
Work-study not only pro -vides students with convenientemployment, it also gives de -partments an opportunity tohire workers for 25 percent ofthe expense of a non-studentemployee. This means depart -ments can afford to have more
staff, which will improve thequality and ef ciency of thedepartments and the collegecampus as a whole.
There will soon be a page onUSU Easterns website direct -ing students on how to applyfor work-study positions. Untilthen, Kim Booth and TammiePantelakis in the nancial aidof ce can help students withany questions they might have.
Ultimately, Herzog recog -nizes that when there is no pres -sure between work and school,students can feel at ease on cam -pus and improve their academicperformance. The institutionalwork-study fund has only beenapproved for this academic year.
Herzog hopes that this pro -gram will have a positive effecton students, and the departmentsthat hire them. If the relation -ship proves to be symbiotic, itis possible that USU Easternwill continue to offer additionalwork-study opportunities tostudents. When a student workson campus, they stay on campus,they become a part of campus,and that is what the college ex -perience is all about.Seth Richards

During the summer, USU Eastern facilitiesand maintenance facilitators replaced tempo -rary employees with a private contractor tocare for the campus greenery.
KM Spraying replaced temporary em-ployees hired from SOS staf ng to mow thelarger lawns, fertilize and spray the campusgrounds. Facilities maintenance staff members stillmow the smaller portions of grass and care for smallerhamlets of greenery.
The replacement of SOS for KM is saving thecollege about $150 per week. Brad King, vice chan -cellor for administration and advancement, has highhopes for continued good work in the spr ing.

1-Nicotine: Apparently somescientists learned that smokingdoesnt have a lot of bene ts, thatis if youre one of those peoplewho is opposed to cancer and of -fending people around you. But itseems that, despite being able toruin everything inside and aroundyou, nicotine has some bene cialaffect on the brain.
The University of Amsterdamdiscovered that the nicotine foundin cigarettes enhances both learn -
ing and memory. To prove this,they tested elderly people withAlzheimers (since learning andmemory loss are key areas of thedisease) by giving them nicotinepatches. The results were stun -ning in that they showed that afterregular doses, the patients weretwo times faster and signi cantlymore consistent at answeringmemory-based questions thanthe control group. This is all pos -sible because nicotine is able toimprove communication amongthe learning centers of the brain.Even if you can remember how
the beginning of this ar ticle began(proving that you dont have Al -zheimers), nicotine has the sameeffect on you as on the elderly.
This time, instead of pumpinga teenagers blood with the stuffthey went for a more standardapproach by rst lling micewith the stuff and then testingthem on their special learning andmemory later in their adult life.They were able to nd that t hosewho had received small, steadylevels of nicotine learned fasterand had performed signi cantlybetter, even months later.

Vice Chancellor of Admin-istration and Advancement,Brad King added, It is hard tobelieve that it has been a yearsince Brads passing. It will be adif cult week for many peopleboth on campus and for thosethat felt Brads in uence in theirlives in other settings. It is amaz -ing to look at the far reachingeffect that he had on peopleslives and not just the youngmen with whom he associated.
His laugh and his Livethe Dream Attitude were
absolutely infect ious. I w i l l a l w a y s r e m e m b e rhis do the small thing well
speech. He always said if you do the small things right ev -ery time, the thi ngs that even your mother can do, you will be inevery game. Brad was a winnerin every sense of the word. Wewill continue to miss him.
All American USU Easternbasketball player and team cap -tain last season, Chase Fli nt, said,Since Brads death my life haschanged a lot, I wasnt sure who toturn to. But I say something or dosomething everyday that remindsme of him and it ma kes me happyof the in uence he had in my lifethat I can have in other peopleslife. I use his quotes all the time
just about optimism and positiveattitudes. When I talk to friends
about him, always something likeBarton would have loved that orthat reminds me of what Barton
used to do. Even though hes gone,he still has an impact in my lifeand many other peoples lives.So hes gone but not forgotten.
Even though its hard to imag -ine Barton being in a bett er place,he always told everyone he wasliving the dream. And now thathe is living the dream in a betterplace, we are reminded of thelyrics of Billy Joels song: Onlythe Good D ie Young. They saytheres a heaven for those who willwait, some say its better, but I sayit aint. Id rather laugh with thesinners than cry with the saints,sinners are much more f unandonly the good die young. RIP,we still miss you Coach Barton.

Barton will be Thursday, Oct.4 at 8 p.m. in the pit. Everyoneis invited.

It may be dif cult to pick up abook that was written more than80 years ago. But that is what Idid when I picked up A Farewellto Arms by Ernest Hemingway.Most people relate a classic withrequired reading in high school.It can be hard to break out ofthe stigma that required readingequals boring.
Ernest Hemingway won theNobel Prize in Literature,which is one of the most pres-tigious honors an author canbe awarded, in 1954 for hiscontribution to literature. Hewas awarded a Silver Medalof Bravery duri ng World WarI while an ambulance driverfor the Italian Army. He wasalso involved in World War II.He lived a troubled life. Hewas married four times andcommitted suicide in 1961.
A Farewell to Arms is action piece loosely based
on Hemingways life. AnAmerican Lieutenant Fred-eric Henry who is an ambu-lance driver for the Italianstells the story. The rst part of thebook is relatively slow. The lieu-tenants life on the front is prettylaid back; plenty of drinking andtrying to meet women. He soonmeets Catherine Barkley, a Brit-ish nurse at the hospital where heis stationed. And so begins theirromance.
Lt Henry is wounded after theAustrians attack the It alian front.He is sent to a hospital in Mila n torecover. Luckily enough Catherineis sent there too. They spend thesummer together and fall in love.
When Lieutenant Henry has nallyhealed and is preparing t o go backto the front Catherine tells himthat she is three months pregnant.
After only a few days backon the front, the Austrians breakthrough the Italian front and theItalians call a full retreat. Whilein retreat, the Lieutenant and hisparty pick up two of cers. On theirway to their regrouping the twoof cers decide to revolt and leavethe Italian Army. The Lieutenanthas no choice but to shoot and hekills one of them.
A few days later, he is t aken forinterrogation by the Italian versionof the military police. He sees thatevery of cer is questioned then ex -ecuted. The interrogators believethat it is because of the of cers thatthe Italians have been defeated.He breaks free from his captorsand rides a river and then a trainto reunite with Catherine. Theymake plans to ee to Switzerlandand escape from the Italians andwar a ltogether.
Lieutenant Henry and Cath-erine make it to Switzerland and
nd an older couple to live with.Things are quite wonderful. Theyspend all their time together andwait for the baby to come. Once thebaby decides to come, everythingchanges and their lives are tur nedupside down.
A Farewell to A rms cementsErnest Hemingways claim as agreat American author. His writ-ing is straightforward and oftengrim. He never beats around thebush. Especially when it comes toparts about ghting and killing.His tone softens when it comes
to parts with Catherine andLieutenant Henrys romance.
A Farewell to Arms raisesmany questions to the reader.For one, Lieutenant Henry isan American ghting in WWIbefore the United States de-clared war. How many peopleare willing to do what it takesto receive any type of medalfrom the military? Would yoube willing to return to a warfront after you had been injured?Would you act as LieutenantHenry did when faced withinsubordination? And thena few days later, he runs justas the man he shot did. Howdo we act when trouble and
tragedy strikes?During the rst few chapters, I
had to push myself to keep going.As soon as I reached the par t wherehe was wounded, I wanted to keepgoing. It seems that most bookswritten today have much more go-ing on during their beginnings; sounderstandably I have fast pacedeverything ingrained into me.
It is a book lled with morethan just war and romance. Thereader will have plenty of pointsof morality to ponder if they justlook and ask.

The last guitar tips article was about re-stringing a guitar, Logically, the next phaseshould be tuning a guitar. There are hundredsof tunings for the guitar, but Ill start with the
standard tuning.The majority of songs, or open chords, arein this tuning. There are a few ways to achievestandard tuning, and the easiest is to purchasea tuner. It doesnt matter what type or brandbecause they all work the same. When youplay any open string in close proximity to thetuner, the screen should display the note ofthat string. Depending on what note you needfor each string and whether the pitch needs togo up or down, you can tighten the string tomove the pitch up or loosen it to move the pitchdown. You just need to make the appropri-ate adjustments until thedesired note is displayed.
For standard tuning,a speci c order of notes(all six-open strings) needto be tuned to, startingwith the lowest or thick-est string, also numberedsixth, then move your way
down numerically. Eachnumbered string has acorrelating letter which gives you the assignednote. It should look like this: 6-E, 5-A, 4-D,3-G, 2-B, 1-E. As long as your tuner matchesthese notes with each correlating string, theguitar is tuned to the standard tuning.
You dont need a tuner to t une the guitar.If you have access to a piano and are familiarwith the keys, you can achieve the same tuningby matching the pianos keys with the guitarstrings. Find the second lowest E on the pianoand match the pitch you hear with your loweststring, which is the sixth string. Work your wayup the piano to the closest A and tune the nextstring down ( fth string) to the same pitch you
hear on the piano. And so on for each subse quentstring down, fourth string will be t uned to theclosest D, 3-G, 2-B and 1-E. From low E to highE, all the str ings should span two-full octaves.
If you dont know anything about the piano,you are probably confused. One of the coolthings about the guitar, is you dont have toworry about note names, you can tune the guitar
to itself. Rather, you can tune all the stringsto whatever note the lowest or sixth str ing is. You need to know what a f ret is and how
they are numbered on the guitar. It might beconfusing, but the fretboard is based on playingan open string. If you arent pressing down onthe frets, youre only plucking the str ing. Sincezero frets are played, its known as number 0,or open string, 0= O(pen).
Once you make that connection, it will ma kesense that frets are numbered numerically.Pressing down on the rst slot of the f retboard,is fret one, second slot is fret t wo and so on up
the neck. There are alsofret markers(which areusually little dots on theneck) located at frets three,
ve, seven, nine and 12,which help with changingpositions quickly withouthaving to count each indi-vidual fret.
If you go to the sixthstring, and play the fth
fret (second-fret marker,) you can tune the nextopen string down by matching its pitch with thesame pitch of the fretted string above it: 6thstring-5th fret=5th str.-0 frets(or open string).When they both sound like t he same note, youcan use this same formula to t une the next stringdown. Basically, all youre doing is tuning thestrings in order. The only exception is when youtune the second string with t he third stri ng, youhave to use the fourth fret on the third str ing*.Refer to the diagram.
Using the sixth string as a reference pointwill tune the other ve strings, but rememberthe strings wont be perfectly pitched to the

USU Eastern goes Hawaiian with the Spirit of AlohaShadayah Jonesstaff writer
Five people on campus and in thecommunity will be given an award fortheir hard work and dedication to mak-ing this campus better. This iscalled the Spirit of A loha award.
Aloha means hello and good-bye in the Hawaiian culture, but thereis a deeper meaning to the greet-ing. A kahai, meaning kindness,to be expressed with tenderness;L okahi, meaning unity, to beexpressed with harmony; O luolu,meaning agreeable, to be expressedwith pleasantness;
H aahaa, meaning humil-ity, to be expressed with modesty;A honui, meaning patience, to beexpressed with per severance.
Aloha is more than a word ofgreeting or farewell or a salutation.Aloha means mutual regard and af-fection and extends warmth in caringwith no obligation in retur n. Aloha
is the essence of relationships in which eachperson is important to every other personfor collective existence. Aloha means tohear what is not said, to see what cannotbe seen and t o know the unknowable. Thisyear at USU Eastern, the students, staff,and faculty will be celebrating the Spiritof Aloha.
When you live the Spirit of Aloha,you create positive feelings and thoughts,which are never gone. They exist in space,multiply and spread over to others. BlaneyHanvey, coordinator-residential life, wantsto bring this unconditional love and care forothers with the Spirit of Aloha to campus.
She came up with this idea whilepreparing for Catalyst, the student lead-
ership training. She said during Cata lyst,they were given the topic of communitybuilding. Hanvey did more research andrealized that this was per fect for the topicof community building. She decided to giveout a Spirit of Aloha award.
Five Spirit of Aloha awards will begiven: one for an outstanding studentleader, student, faculty member, staff
member and a community member that hashelped campus and made a difference. Atthe Spirit of Aloha ceremony, plaques willbe presented in honor of the award winnersto recognize their outstanding efforts andthe time and effort they put into makingthis campus better.
Students and faculty and staff memberswill be able to vote once a semester and
nominate one from each category.The residential life staff will reviewthe nominations and decide thewinner. The nominations will beonline under the residential lifelink. Deadlines will be announcedwhen the link is set up.
Hanvey says, I want people tosee that they are being recognizedfor their great work and to see thatthey are making a difference on
campus. I want the Spirit of AlohaAward to be something that will becontinued throughout the years. Iview the Spirit of A loha as havingan unconditional desire to promotethe true good of other people in afriendly spirit and with genuinecaring.

Emery County native KaeLynn Winn alwaysknew she would return to her love of painting. Hertalent for making art started at an early age andcontinued well into adulthood.
My rst experience creating a painting is a trea -sured memory, Winn says. Up until kindergarten,my experience with art was limited to coloring withcrayons, which I adored. One fateful day I wasgiven vivid red and blue nger paint and set free!The juicy red and dreamy blue paint mixed beforemy eyes and a deep, rich purple appeared to delightmy senses, she recalls. From that point on, Winnwas hooked.
Her love of art and creativity motivated her toseek more knowledge and many ways to draw andpaint. She studied art books and how to draw
and paint handbooks. She checked out everythingfrom the local library that served her artistic thirstand even took weekly lessons from a woman who
amed her interest in oil painting.Winn, who is known locally and among craft-
ers for her original clip art designs, has developedher artistic skills since those early encounters withart making. She went on to pursue art in college,completing an associate of arts degree from Col-lege of Eastern Utah, followed by a number of arthistory courses and studio art classes at Utah StateUniversity in Logan. In the fall of 1991 I decided Ineeded a break from school and moved back hometo work for a while and spend more time with mysweetheart, Winn remembers. She married hersweetheart in 1991 and now, with her husband,
raises her four children in Ferron.In 2000, Winn began creating clip-art illustrations
for an online company. For the past 10 years, shehas produced approximately 700 full-color illustra-tions for the website. I was also chosen by thecompany to be a featured artist for one of the ProvoCraft Hugware clip art CDs, Winn says. The en-tire body of clip-art was rendered in colored pencilwith the exception of the last two sets which cameout in 2009 and were painted in acrylics. Workingon those last clip art sets helped me rediscover mylove for painting.
Now, after a long break from painting, she isready to produce and show her work again.
Winn has painted some wonderful pieces thatre ect her love of this area, says gallery director,
Noel Carmack. I think visitors to the exhibit willnot only be impressed with her skill, but also herobvious affection for the scenes and subjects foundin her rural surroundings.
Winns exhibit, Legacies of Home: Paintings byKaeLynn Winn, will be on display from October8 November 8 at Gallery East on USU EasternsPrice campus. An opening reception and artist talkwill be held Friday, October 12, from 7-9 p.m. inGallery East. The gallery is free and open to thepublic during the academic year.
Gallery Easts fall 2012 hours are Mondaythrough Thursday 11 a.m. 5 p.m., closed Fridays,weekends and holidays. If you have any questions,contact Carmack at 435-613-5241 or by email [email protected].

Students come to USU Eastern fromfar and wide for the college experience.They live in the residential hall attendactivities and eat in the dining room.Often times, there is so much goingon that the people behind the scenesare either never noticed or quicklyforgotten. This is the case with headchef Tony Archibald.
If you were to meet Archibald inpassing, you may have assumed he wasquiet; just a cook doing his job. Thishowever, is an immense understate-ment. If you ever nd a moment whenhe could sit and have a conversationwith you, you would discover that hehad been working in the restaurant
industry sincehe was 13. Hebegan as a dish-washer and de-cided he likedthe fast paceand f r iend-s h i p s t h a tcame alongwith the job.He has workedthroughout thecounty includ-ing CowboyK i t c h e n i nWell ington,Little Caesars,and the CarbonCountry Club.At one time heworked withOf cer JamesP r e t t y m a nYes, its true,
Of cer Prettyman can cook.Thirty-four years later, Archibald is
doing what he loves. He met Tony whenhe began doing the menus at Beckys
local coffee shop called Beckys Brew.They were married in 2006. Now theirhome and family outings are lledwith their eight children and eightgrandchildren, with one more arrivingin May. When we get togethe r, I enjoyhanging out and having everyone near,Archibald states. He humbly admits,My family is what I am most proudof in this world.
Somethi ng most people dont knowabout him is that he is the second ofeight childr en. When he was young, hisrebellious nature kicked in and he ranaway from home. When asked whatone piece of advice he remembered
most while growing up, he responded,If you think its too good to be true,it probably is.
Archibald discovered young thathe disliked educated idiots or thepeople who thought they knew morethan they really did. As an employer,it is a pet peeve when his employeesdo not take heed to his word. Therewas one time we had an employee whowould set her drink on the kitchen worktable. After several times of telling hernot to leave it there, he lled her strawwith mustard. We all got a kick out ofthat one! said an employee.
While at work, Archibald can befound working tirelessly to preparethe next meal while listening to localradio stations. He believes and sup-ports the shop local campaign in orderto sustain our economy here, says hiswife Becky.
His favorite artists to listen to whenthe grills are turned off for the day areMatt Redman and Chris Tomlin. Healso enjoys hurrying home to catchthe latest episodes of Pawn Stars,Storage Wars and Ice Road Truckers.
Although he may never outwardlyadmit it, he loves the Discovery andHistory channels as well. Football isnot really his Sunday sport, but if theJazz are playing, you can bet he willbe there to catch the game. Guitars,drums and shing also ll what littlefree time A rchibald has left in his day.
Archibal d is excited for this upcom-ing year. Meeting all the new studentsand getting to work closely with themis his favorite thing about working atUSU Eastern. With a good luck to allthis year, Tony closes with one pieceof advice, Dont give up on youreducation.

When we read or hear aboutcollege football, its usually abouteither the teams, the coaches, thematch ups, or whos going to go toa BCS bowl game, we dont hear alot about the fans, there are thoserare occasions where you do. Forexample, the recent event that hap-pened at the Utah vs. BYU game inSalt Lake City. The fans rushed the
eld and drew a penalty on Utah,which gave BYU another chanceto win the game, one of three tobe exact.
Anyway, the point being, fanscan in uence a game one way oranother. They can in uence theteam for good or for bad, whilealso affecting the other team andtheir performance as well. Youknow you have an amazing fansection when everyone is yellingand screaming, and the standsshake with a thunder of a crowd justas determined as the players. Youknow you are in for a good time.Being a player for the opposingteam can be a quite intimidatingwith fans like these. You may notrealize it, but as a fan you re ectyour school and the spirit thatburns within. Having a powerfuland huge fan section can de nitelyaffect the outcome of a game.
Now there are many differentkinds of fans. You have the ones
that chant the cheer for a team,but really never wear the colors orwatch the games, the ones that sit intheir seats and give an occasionalwhistle or hoot here and there, andthen there are fans who bleed theirschool colors, and go to every homegame with painted faces.
Utah has some pretty hard-corefans for college sports. Im going totake three of the colleges and rankthem starting from the la rgest fanbase to the smallest. I would haveto say that the Utes at the Univer sityof Utah take rst place, then theAggies at Utah State Universityin Logan, and then the Cougars atBrigham Young University. E achof these colleges can surely holdtheir own in their stadiums withtheir loyal supportive fans.
Now, we will go over a little bit
about each schools fan base, andwhat sets them aside from othercolleges. At Utah, their studentsection known as the MUSS(Mighty Utah Student Section)really ampli es the cheering inthe stadium. The fans love tokick things off early in Salt Lakewith the Ute tailgate party, andthe Ute walk before the game. InLogan, their stadium holds 25,513and they always deliver a hugeamount of fans, they all seem toalways chant in unison and throwsigns in the opposing teams facewhich creates quite a powerfulatmosphere for their team to win.And when I say they deliver a hugeamount of fans, their stadium isalways packed. Down south atBYU, their stadium holds 63,470and the fans are sure f ull of energy
and they always have a full-s tudentsection supporting their team. Allthrough Provo you will see BYU
ags on the cars as they drive by,showing their pride and support.These colleges have a big fan base,but when compared to other teamsthroughout the country they seema little small.
Lets start with the Florida Ga-tors. They have a huge fan base,which you can easily see whenthey pack their stadium knownas The Swamp with 88,000strong. Lets also not forget aboutMichigan State with their stadiumknown as The Big House. Thisstadium gets loud when there aregames played here. These teamsreally deliver when there is homegames, but when football is sucha prominent thing and the stadiumholds 80,000 plus, it really isnthard to do, unless the team isntthat good, but most of the time,that isnt the case.

5,000 miles, an oceanaway from home
Talon Bryansports writer
Almost 5,000 miles to attend college away from homeseems like a great distance, but for three baseball players
from Samoa, it proved to be a wise move. Ieti Savelio playsthe out eld for the Golden Eagle baseball team and likes tospend his free ti me cutting hair or anything that involves usinghis hands. Isaia Helg plays third base for USU Eastern. He hasa great sense of humor and can always make the team laugh.Fred Thomas, the youngest of the three, grew up in Fiji, anisland near Samoa.
Coming to the United States to play baseball, Savelio said,So far I have really enjoyed all of the beautiful girls and allof the things to do here. I like being able to stay busy with theactivities that the school has put on. I a lso enjoy the clothingstyle here, there are so many choices compared to back in
Samoa. All of the people here are also very nice and I enjoytalking to everyone from all these different backgrounds.
Savelio said, the rst place we stayed was in St. Georgeand it was way too hot. I had a lot of t rouble breathing becauseof the elevation change and suffered many nosebleeds.
Helg spoke about what brought himself and his team-mates to America. I started playing on theSamoan national baseball team a nd we playedin St. George during the summer. I reallyliked baseball here because the games aremore competitive and we play much more. Aregular season in Samoa is only eight gamesand then youre done, so I also enjoy that. The
schooling here is also a big part of whyI stayed. It is hard to get this good of aneducation back home so this is a reallygreat opportunity for me,
Savelio says, I really miss all of thebeaches in Samoa. At home, Im only 45minutes from the beach anywhere I goso that is a weird thing not to have close.The weather in Samoa is also different; itis always perfectly sunny and not so dry.I do miss my family; its tough not to be
able to see them all the time. I wish theywere still only ve minutes away. Its a loteasier to get around Samoa too, in a caryoure only an hour from the other sideof the island so travel is extremely ea sy.
My sarcasm has been the biggestchange in other people, everyone in Samoais really sarcastic and I didnt know if it
would be the same way here. The rst few weeks I was prettyscared to joke with anyone. I didnt know if they would takeit serious and be mad or just joke around like back home.Once a few people started joking around I gured out thatI can be sarcastic and no one would be angry. It helps mefeel welcome when I can joke around with everyone and bemyself, Helg said.
Helg, Thomas and Savelio are excited about what USUEastern has to offer them and the rest of their time here inthe states. You will be able to see them at any baseball gamein the upcoming season.

standard tuning unless the sixthstring is tuned to an E. This methodis great if youre just jammingalone, but tuning the guitar is allrelative to what you are playing. Forinstance, if you are rehearsing witha group or jamming to an album,you should be pitched to the correctnotes(6-E, 5-A, 4-G etc.) and tunedto the other players or what yourelistening to. The other advantageis it will train your ears on a dif-ferent level. Being able to hear andmatch pitches and frequencies willhelp your overall musical ability.

With a 10-8 record, the LadyEagles are having a strong sea-son so far. The women andCoach Chelsey Warburtonare pretty pleased and excitedwith how their season is going.
After the Lady Eagles lossagainst a highly talented UtahAll-Stars team on Sept 21, thewomen bounced back with two
big wins. Three sets to zero inboth of those wins. The team helda 6-0 set ratio in the past weekagainst the Salt Lake All-Starsand the Colorado NorthwesternCommunity College women.
The Salt Lake All-Stars is ateam made up of fellow EasternUtah players. On Sept. 21, theAll-Stars showed up ready to faceoff against the 2012 Lady Eagles.The battle began with the LadyEagles winning set one 26-24.They battled back and forth theentire match. The Lady Eaglesplayed tougher than ever showinggreat moments in all aspects ofthe game, winning all three sets.Set two and three were both close,but the women came out of settwo 25-20 and set three 27-25.
Day two of the weekend for theEagles was traveling to Rangley,Colo. After a long bus ride, thewomen thought they would be
tired and not ready right off thebus. Nerves were coming as thisgame was the rst conferencegame of the year for the women.They came out and showed theirhard work off.
The Lady Eagles tore Rangleyapart winning the rst three setsout of ve. The women won setone 25-9, set two 25-14 and setthree 25-10.
Coach Warburton was feelingreally happy and pleased withher teams play in these past twogames. The women felt con dentcoming out of the weekend andsaid they love the feeli ng they havehad these past couple of games,and plan to keep this streak going.
On Friday, Sept. 28, the Eaglestraveled to Snow College to playthe lady Badgers. The women feltreally strong and healthy aftertheir last two games. Gettingoff of the bus, the women had
brought the intensity and mindsetof the previous weeks outcomes.The Eagles played their style ofgame and had a good ght, butended up losing in ve sets: won27-25, lost 25-15, won 25-23,and lost 25-20 and 15-9. Eachset went back and forth all day.
On Saturd ay, Sept. 29, the Eaglestraveled to Salt Lake CommunityCollege and hoped for a betteroutcome to their goals. SLCC,however, had a different game planand came out victorious.
The Bruins came out strongand took the Lady Eagles downin set one. The Eagles stepped uptheir game, but could not matchup to their competitions. Thematch went quick as the Eagleslost three sets to zero. The Bru-ins won 25-15, 25-8 and 25-14.
Coach Warburton feels like, herwomen came out at on Saturdayagainst SLCC; adding we did not
have much battle or intensity, andour passing was not exactly onlike it was against the Badgers.
Warburton said she is, reallypleased with how well WhitneyFieldsted has been playing dayin and day out; she is a leaderon and off the court and thewomen look up to her a lot.Fieldsted had herself a hay dayagainst CNCC, having 12 kills.CNCC had no answer for howto slow down Fieldsteds game.
Listening to some of the womenon the team, they feel like theycherished their achievements fromthe past wins too long, and did nothave the right mindset or intensityfor the games to come.
Sydney Cornforth, a freshman,says, I know the girls have a lotmore in them and that they are al lgoing to step it up and make this amemorable year for the volleyballteams to come in the future.

Here to build awinning team
Hayden Petersonsports writer
Every school year begins with new faces,some who are here to further their educa-tion, and some who are here to help studentsalong the way. This week we are going totake a look into the l ife of one of those newfaces on campus and learn a little moreabout what he is doing here. The Eaglesspotlight shines on mens assistant basketballcoach Carter Roe. He was brought in byhead Coach Adjalma Vanderlei Becheli Jr,(Vando) this year to build a winning team.
The basketball players enjoy having Roearound because he cares for them not only ashis athletes but also as people. He is alwaysreminding us of upcoming assignments inour classes as well as encouraging us to bebetter students, said Travon Langston. Roegrew up in Arizona; he was born i n Phoenixon New Years day in 1982. His mom, Beth,and his father, Jim, both worked while hewas growing up so that they could providefor his family.
He said of his mother, She is the GREAT-EST woman I have known, the de nition ofgrace. Roe has three siblings as well, hisolder sister Jordan, his younger sister Chan-dler, and a younger brother named Taylor,all of whom are successful. Probably beinga little humble Roe mentioned, To say I amthe dummy of the family would be an under-statement. When he turned 11, his familyfollowed his fathers work to Yuma, Ari.
Basketball was a lways the center of Roeslife. The guys that he played with are stillhis closest friends and he cherishes manymemories with them. After graduating highschool Roe went on to study at ArizonaWestern College, it was there that he beganhis college education and ended his basket-ball dreams. Basketball ended because Iquit on myself, which is something I regretevery single day of my life. Par t of coachingfor me is trying to make sure t he kids I havea chance to in uence never do what I did.
Roe has held many coaching jobs sincegraduating from NAU. He started at McCookCommunity College, where he also taughta few courses. Then he was offered what hecalled a dream job: a coaching position atArizona Western, in his hometown of Yuma.
Thanks to Coach Kelly Green, (the rstcoach who Roe worked with) we were ableto land Coach Roe at USU Easter n. Roe said
that hed be mistaken if he didnt mention hewas a Christian man, who fal ls short mostdays, but is trying to be better and moreChrist-like each andevery day.
He is car-ing and alwaysconcerned aboutothers beforeh i m s e l f .Good luckC o a c hR o e .W el o o kforward towatchingyour menperform onthe courtthis year.
The last few weeks forthe USU Eastern baseballteam have been preparingfor their upcoming springseason. The men live andbreathe baseball. Up at thecrack of dawn, their 7 amworkouts accompaniedby afternoon practices arewhipping the players into shape. Ilove working out in the mornings- Ifeel like I can a lmost beat DenverHansen in an arm wrestling match,said player Luke Madsen. DrewBeach exclaims, I am working onmy triceps. They need to be biggerso I can match my roommate.Between practices and oftentimesafter, they can be found sitting intheir classes or studying at vari-ous locations around campus. Butwhen the weekend rolls around,its game time.
Sept. 22, the Colorado All-Star scame to Price for their try againsta true collegiate level team. HeadCoach Scott Madsen states, Theteam played well. Everyone gotto play the eld multiple inningswhile at least having one go at
bat. It was a good opportunity forthe team to get a feel for how thegame is supposed to be played withsituational hitting.
Though some may believe itis all about batting average, theMoney Ball strategy of gettingon base is working for our guys.They were able to do the littlethings right, Madsen says. Wekept the pressure on the other team,focused on rst getting on base andthen stealing bases. The youngAll-Stars didnt stand a chancelosing 15-0 followed by 11-0, bothin Easterns favor. The team heldtheir heads high ready to conqueranyone who dared face them.
Enthusiastic as they may havebeen prior to Fridays games, theteam had an obstacle ahead ofthem. The Salt Lake City Bruinstraveled to Price for an opportunity
to claim victory over the USUEastern Eagles. Unfortunately, itwas victory they claimed.
The team had a slow start al low-ing the Bruins to jump on a quicklead that the Eagles simply couldnot come back from. Althoughthe USU Eastern pitching staff ofJoe Barta, Shayden Poulsen andChance Abrath did well, Salt Laketook advantage of the errors theywere given. The Bruins retaliatedwith a pitching staff that allowedthe Eagles only one run, tallyingthe nal of 11-1.
Game two was evenly matched.The men were able to settle down,get into a groove and compete.Though the level of competition isde nitely higher than the weekendbefore, the team realized they hadnot only the talent, but also thepotential to play with teams of Salt
Lakes caliber. The team was ableto hold Salt Lake at a 1-0 lead forthe rst ve innings, but reluctant lygave up eight when minor errorswere allowed back into play. Twoinnings later, the Eagle brought ineight runs of their own but couldnot pull to the lead.
Eastern lost the second game11-8 but looks forward to facing theBruins in conference play. CatcherBrad Morse said, It was fantastic.It was a good opportunity to seewhat baseball competition is reallylike at a collegiate level.
