On Thursday, Sept. 3, building construction students and Habitat for Humanity of Utah County (HFHUC) came together to break ground for the partnership’s second home. In spring 2008, the Rico family received the first Habitat for Humanity home, built in part by the UVU Department of Construction Management.
He’s not as mean as Dirty Harry but not as soft as Barney Fife, but UVU’s own Chief of Police John C. Brewer is the man in charge here on campus. From theft to risk management, he means business. Chief Brewer has been at UVU for a little over two years, but has been a police officer since 1973.
On Sept. 9, 1,000 pamphlets were handed out by employees of non-profit organizationVegan Outreach to UVU students. These pamphlets focus on the pain farm animals endure and give those who will take the time to open them the “bottom line” on animal suffering.
On Sept. 8, President Obama gave a speech before the nation’s K-12 public school students to ring in the new school year on a high note. Or at least he spoke before most of them. You see, some people didn’t think schoolchildren should hear the president speak – after all, he is a pinko-commie-socialist community organizer and these innocent minds should not have to be unwittingly subjected to the political indoctrination of The Party.

The film is based around the creative process of Sicilian-born, Brooklyn-raised Alex Caldiero, UVU’s artist in residence; and the duo plans to submit the film to both national and international film festivals.
Alright, I hear the question in your mind: what the hell is sonosophy? Not an easy one to answer. Loosely defined, it might mean “love of sound,” though that doesn’t go far enough. The concept probably has something to do with both sound and poetry, and maybe their expression within a physical space.
He is a mad poet. He is an award-winning artist. He is a self-proclaimed sonsopher. He is an unconventional teacher. He is absolutely unpredictable. He is undeniably moving. He, of course, is Alex Caldiero. Being a pupil in one of Caldiero’s classes is an experience one doesn’t easily forget.
