Since I started writing this dating column a few months ago, the topic of relationships has been a constant topic of discussion. People approach me on a weekly basis and say, “Oh, Nate. You should totally write an article on (insert bad dating habit here). It drives me nuts when people do that on a […]
David O. Russell is not a name you would expect to find in the young adult section of a bookstore. The writer/director behind movies like Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees, Russell isn’t exactly known for his family-friendly adventures – quite the opposite, in fact. That being said, his new book, Alienated, just so happens […]
We’ve all been there: a busy week, lots of homework, you’ve hit all your classes and still worked enough shifts to survive until the next pay period. But then one of your professors decides to throw down; it’s time to prove what you’ve learned. Now you’ve got three days to head over to the testing […]
UVU has a unique history of inviting eccentric speakers to campus. There was of course the cataclysmic 2004 Michael Moore/Sean Hannity episode. Then there was Ralph Nader conducting an alternative commencement for disgruntled BYU students in 2007. Well, the good news is, it seems, we intend to continue this tradition. On Nov. 18, Joe the […]
UVU has been a university for almost a year and a half now, yet it seems that the general attitude towards our school from the community has not changed much. We are in the shadows of the two biggest schools in Utah and far younger than any of the other universities. These facts may lead some […]
Here in the opinions section we have recently seen articles dealing with gun control and allowing alcohol on campus, at first glance these issues may seem unrelated, but on second glance I think we can see we are really dealing with the same issue: collective rights versus individual rights. Some people want to go to […]
Recently I stood in the school cafeteria, blankly staring at the daily lunch selection. As I pondered upon what I would choose to nourish and strengthen my body and do it the good it needs, I turned and saw President Holland walk past me. I decided I’d take my chances and position myself behind him […]
A disproportionate amount of Pell grant funds offered to students are being sucked up by Utah’s for-profit higher education schools (“Fed aid goes to for-profit colleges,” Salt Lake Tribune Nov. 6). While students attending for-profit schools make up about 10 percent of the total student body, roughly 17 percent of the total Pell grant funds […]
UVU used a second-half goal by Katey Turner to claim the first ever GWCC with a win over Houston Baptist last week. The goal came as Brianne Larsen passed the ball to Turner who dribbled to the top of the box, and banged it home to secure the win. “I told her halftime that I […]
So apparently Joe the Plumber is coming to UVU. There’s been some initial backlash to the news, but I kinda don’t get why everyone’s so upset. Think back a ways. When we became a university, much was made of the fact that we were “not losing our roots as a trade school”. And our school […]
