Outside Juniper Hall, a sign reads “Future Home of Juniper Hall Replacement.” SUU is planning to remove the asbestos in the building by January, so it can be demolished.

Taekwondo class gives $5,000 to CCWCC

Johnny Oh, director of Kim’s Medical Education Program and Asian Integration at SUU and a black belt in taekwondo, in partnership with the Aquatic Center, presented the Canyon Creek Women’s Crisis Center (CCWCC) with a check for $5,000, Wednesday.

Oh has been teaching a tae kwon do class every Wednesday from 7-8:30 p.m. since February, at a cost of $25 a month per student, with all the proceeds going to CCWCC.

“I wanted to give back to the community and use my talents to do that,” Oh said. “So I approached Dan (Rodgerson) about starting this class and giving all the money to the Crisis Center and today is kind of the historical day because we hit the $5,000 milestone.”

Rodgerson, director of Leisure Services and Recreation for Cedar City, was on hand at the event to represent the City.

“One of the things the City has been looking to do is utilize these (multi-purpose) rooms (at the Aquatic Center) a little bit more,” Rodgerson said. “I think this was a great cause and we agreed to partner with (Oh), and we’ve advertised the program and kind of made it our own.”

While Wednesday was the $5,000 milestone for the program, Oh has been donating the money received every month directly to the CCWCC.

Cindy Baldwin, executive director of CCWCC, was at the Aquatic Center to receive the ceremonial check during a special session of Johnny’s taekwondo class, in which the class presented her with 50 balloons to represent the donations.

“(Johnny) has been a private donor and

supporter of our organization since at least as long as I’ve been in charge,” Baldwin said. “He has been an ongoing supporter in a lot of ways, before this class he would come ask us what we needed and then just go get it.”

CCWCC currently has 22 women and their children staying at the Center and the money raised by this class has covered service expansion and general operational expenses.

Recently, CCWCC has taken on Southern Utah Mobile Crisis Team’s (SUMCT) vacated role when they closed in August, and has been using some of the money to help fund the expansion of services.

“We used to refer tons of people to (SUMCT) so when that happened we really took on the weight of that,” Baldwin said.

End of the worldGAMMA party provides fun teaching opportunity

Students and Greek organizations came together in the Sharwan Smith Center Ballroom for the End of the World Party and dance Thursday night.

The event was hosted by Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol (GAMMA) and used the End of the World theme to create interest amongst students, according to current GAMMA members.

GAMMA members opened the event to all students, but asked all greek organizations on campus to attend and show their support.

Students remarked how the End of the World Party

was needed, especially after midterm exams.

Scott Sessions, a senior accounting major from Las Vegas, said the dance was perfectly timed.

“I worked really hard this week,” Sessions said. “I needed somewhere to let it all out.”

GAMMA members who planned the event encouraged students to dress up however they thought they would look at the end of the world. Costumes were not mandatory but students were able to be creative with the theme. Students at the dance wore everything from regular street clothes to full zombie attire.

was part of GAMMA’s tolerance and diversity week. The week also featured various activities throughout the Sharwan Smith Center Mall and the ‘Peace Party’ which emphasized peace and acceptance between people of different backgrounds.

Rebecca Eborn, a senior communication major from Bountiful and a member of the Delta Psi Sorority and GAMMA, said tolerance and diversity week is about celebrating personal identity without the need for labels.

“We need to accept each other as people,” Eborn said. “Regardless of stereotypes or where the person comes from.”

Plans have been put in motion to demolish and rebuild SUU’s on-campus housing Juniper Hall, which was condemned last year. Before this can be done, a harmful substance known as asbestos, which was used in the building, must be safely removed.

Dave Tanner, director of facilities management, said the process of seeking an asbestos removal contractor is underway.$V� VRRQ� DV� 688� ÀQGV� D�

contractor, the process of removing the asbestos will begin DQG�LV�DQWLFLSDWHG�WR�EH�ÀQLVKHG�by Jan. 31, costing the university under $1.5 million. Tanner said after the asbestos is removed, demolition can begin and is aimed to be completed by mid-March 2013.

He said SUU does not currently have the funding to rebuild the residence hall.

“We’ve been working with our WUXVWHHV�«� WU\LQJ� WR� ÀQG� ZD\V�for us to fund (the rebuilding),” Tanner said. “It has to be privately funded, the state won’t put any money toward it, and that’s why it’s a little bit more challenging.”

Tanner said SUU has been ORRNLQJ� DW� GLIIHUHQW� ÀQDQFLDO�models and working toward replacing the building.

Juniper Hall was originally

condemned in fall semester 2011 due to growing problems with the heating and pipes and tenants had to move out mid-semester.

Tanner said the building had different problems and eventually they became beyond repair.

“We couldn’t keep pressuring the lines, we were losing 10,000 gallons an hour of heating water,” Tanner said. “We had engineering studies that warned us … that this day was going to come.”

Tayler Hansen, a sophomore communication major from Provo, was one of the residents that had to move out of Juniper Hall in the middle of the semester.

Hansen said the move was hard because she had come to love Juniper.

“I loved the social aspect of it so I was really sad when they made us move out,” Hansen said. “It was a horrible experience.”

Hansen said she is excited to see what the future of Juniper ZLOO�KROG�DQG�VKH�KRSHV�WKH�ÁRRU�plan will not change much.

She said she thinks it’s important for SUU to have a residence hall with community bathrooms and the tight-knit social network of Juniper.

“I really loved the dorm setup … and I think they need to have the typical dorms here,” Hansen said.

Student, SUUSA in running for $20,000

Today is the last day to vote for Nicholas Wilding, SUU’s candidate for Zion’s Bank’s web series The Ultimate Cheapster.

Wilding is competing against 13 other students representing universities in Utah and Idaho, to win the title of the cheapest of them all.

Wilding has made it through all three rounds of the series and now $20,000 is up for grabs. Half of the money would be donated to SUU’s student association, SUUSA. 7KH�ÀUVW� URXQG�:LOGLQJ�KDG�

to pass, was a general call for all students in all Utah and Idaho universities to show off their penny-pinching ways. Wilding sent in an essay describing how he thought he would best represent SUU, as the cheapest student.

“I’m the cheapest student at SUU because I know where the free food is at and I have good friends (who) hook me up,” Wilding said in an interview with SUUnews earlier this semester. “I just know the places.”

Afterwards, Wilding was selected, and appeared on the web series, doing a variety of cheap challenges. He has now created his own webisode, which needs to have more votes than any of the other 12 candidates to win.

To vote for Wilding, go to www.facebook.com/cheapstertv.

Swing Club to host swing dance Wed.

SUU’s Swing Club is hosting a Swing Dance Wednesday in the Multipurpose Building.

Students must be over 18 years old to attend the dance. Admission is $1 with student I.D., and $2 without.

Swing Club teaches both simple and complex swing dance moves. Club members encourage students to attend the dance and “let off some steam.”

Dis-ability awarenessThis week marks SUU’s Dis-Ability

Week, where students can participate in activities and raise awareness of people in the community with disabilities, and their strengths.

Carmen Alldredge, coordinator of services for students with disabilities, is optimistic about the week ahead.

Alldredge explained there will be various activities students can attend.

There will be an art exhibit set up in the ballroom from Monday through

Wednesday with work brought from different people with disabilities, Alldredge said.

“(The art) is very beautiful,” she said. “We come to observe and we see beauty.”

There will be an obstacle course on Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Rotunda. Alldredge said the course will be fun and participants will be able to feel what it feels like to have certain disabilities such as dyslexia, blindness, hardness of hearing and more.

There are many presentations planned, with speakers talking about various disabilities.

On Wednesday at 3 p.m. will be a presentation called “Changeable Brains, Mindfulness and the Good News about Mental Illness” by Dr. Jacob Hess in the Escalante Room.

“(Hess) is coming to tell results of research about how behavior can be changed,” Alldredge said.

Nutrition students will be holding a taste testing of baked goods on Tuesday for a nutrition study (Pastry pub food pictured).

Nutrition majors call for taste testers

An undergraduate research study involving taste testing will be Tuesday from 5 to 8 p.m. in General Classrooms Building 206.

Kaylee Briggs, Sarah Miller, Kylie Stringham and Samantha Hirschi came up with the idea for a taste testing research project.

Kylie Stringham, a senior nutrition major from Tremonton, said a couple of members of the group had taken the food science class and came up with the idea from there. The food science class studied the composition of food and how to manipulate recipes. “We all found it really interesting. Most people in this [nutrition] major do regular studies like dieting, and we just wanted to try something new,” Stringham said.

The members of the group couldn’t say much about the experiment, in order to maintain the integrity of the study.

Kaylee Briggs, a senior nutrition major from Logan, said what each student will be asked to taste.

“Everyone will be given two cookies, a piece of cake, and a brownie,” Briggs said.

Stringham said recipe development was a large portion of the research project, and all of the food that will be used are homemade.

“We all had to come up with the recipes. We took recipes that are common ones, so they’re ones people have heard of and are familiar with,” Stringham said.

Sarah Miller, a senior nutrition and biology double major from Park City, explained how the experiment will run.

“We’re going to do 30 minute allotments,” Miller said. “We’re going to have about 10 people at a time do taste tests.” After the taste testing portion of the experiment, each SDUWLFLSDQW�ZLOO�ÀOO�RXW�D�VXUYH\���

Why does SUU exist? Did we all come here to attend football

games, student activities and fraternity parties?

Well, maybe some of us did, but I would guess that the majority

of people came to Cedar City to enroll in classes and earn a degree.

Students wouldn’t have activities, clubs, and sports

without the professors and classrooms. Students can only

be students if classes exist and professors offer to teach.

With all of this in mind, I am concerned with the

lack of publicity spring class registration received.

If our education at the university relies so heavily

on what we learn in the classroom, why was spring

class registration so poorly advertised? There wasn’t

a single banner, announcement made in my class,

a-frame on campus or link on the SUU homepage that

indicated that students were supposed to register for

classes this week. The Vice President of Academics

signed up a day late because he was unaware that

class registration had opened!

Several of the classes I am required to take are already full and

I am waiting on a waiting list behind underclassmen hoping that I

will be able to register for my required classes so I can graduate on

time. This is unacceptable.

It is true that college students are adults and should be held

accountable for planning and executing their education, however,

with all the money put into extracurricular activities, one would

think that there would be some room in the university budget to get

the word out about spring registration.

SUU must to do a better job of advertising class

registration.

Class registration needs to be announced in

classrooms, plastered on posters all over campus and

be on the SUU website where all can see.

If the university would like help with accomplishing

WKLV� WDVN�� ,� ZLOO� EH� WKH� ¿UVW� WR� YROXQWHHU�� ,W� LV�unacceptable for an academic institution to drop the

ball on the very substance of its existence: students

attending university-taught classes.

Students cannot be students unless they are signed

up to attend class, so can the university please do a

better job publicizing class registration?

We have a great community of scholars at SUU.

The University Journal Editorial Board can’t help

but notice that the SUU community is not much of

a community, though. People show up for — or skip

— class and then go home. Most students also attend

something else on campus every now and then.

Why is the SUU community so passive? Why

did SUUSA have to cancel the charter bus that was

scheduled to go to Flagstaff, Arizona for the migration

game this past weekend? Where is our school spirit?

We understand that people are interested in different

WKLQJV��1RW�HYHU\RQH�OLNHV�EDVNHWEDOO��VLOHQW�¿OPV�RU�politics. But SUU has a variety of events and activities

every day and there are more than 8,000 students at

SUU. There is no reason for these events and activities

to not be packed with people.

A large reason students do not go to events and

activities, especially athletic events, is the assumption

that no one else is going. If people would only start

going and keep at it, eventually we could be giving

the support our community deserves. The turnout at

athletic events is particularly embarrassing for SUU.

After some discussion and brainstorming, the

University Journal Editorial Board came across an

idea which, if implemented, we believe could help.

If students know when events and activities are, it is

more likely they will attend. “There’s nothing to do in

Cedar City” is a common complaint we hear.

So we suggest a calendar. Right now, there are

multiple calendars all over the place online. SUUSA

has a calendar, SUU has a calendar, the Journal even

has a calendar. What SUU needs is one calendar which

has all the events and activities on it, and then SUU

needs to put signs around campus telling people where

WKH\�FDQ�¿QG�WKH�FDOHQGDU��$OVR��VRPHWKLQJ�QHHGV�WR�happen to make sure everyone, from all corners of this

community, actually updates the calendar.

We imagine that bored students can simply take

a look at such a calendar to see what their options

are for the day. They will immediately be presented

with multiple options, and they will not have to

search for each one.

SUUSA is already working toward something like

this with their weekly Club Newsletter. This newsletter

contains information about every club as well as their

activities. It is a step in the right direction.

If you would like to receive this newsletter, send an

Unity is lacking in the U.S.If you have a dollar bill handy, take it out and look at the back of it.

While I’m sure you’ve noticed the images there before, I’d like

you to study them a little more carefully today, particularly focusing

on the right side of the currency. There you will see the front side of

the Great Seal of the United States of America.

7KH�EDOG�HDJOH��ZLWK�LWV�RXWVSUHDG�ZLQJV��¿JXUHV�PRVW�SURPLQHQWO\��It bears a shield with 13 stripes, representing the 13 original states.

In its talons the eagle holds an olive branch on the left and 13 arrows

on the right. Above its head is a cloud encircling a

constellation made up of — you guessed it — 13 stars.

It seems the founders were obsessed with symbolizing

the unity of those 13 states as the new nation took its

place among the older countries in the world. In case

you’ve never counted the steps to that bold pyramid on

the reverse side of the seal, they number 13.

But to drive the point home, that Great Seal, the design

of which began in 1776 and was formally adopted by

Congress in 1782, bears a phrase that for generations

ZDV�WKH�XQRI¿FLDO�PRWWR�RI�WKH�FRXQWU\��7KH�HDJOH�KROGV�in its mouth a scroll with the Latin words, “E pluribus

unum” — “Out of many, one.” What a noble concept. I

wonder now what happened to it.

Perhaps it never was consistently true, since from

the beginning the states had their differences and the

political parties always fought intensely. But there certainly have

been many times in our history when, despite our differences, the

many became one and stood united.

Today, it seems that rather than coming together, we look for any

excuse to remain divided, often assigning labels to each other to

IXUWKHU�GH¿QH�RXU�GLIIHUHQFHV�LQVWHDG�RI�QRWLQJ�WKH�VLPLODULWLHV�WKDW�make us uniquely American.

We have become red and blue states, liberals and conservatives,

right- or left-wingers and, depending on who’s doing the name-

calling, un-patriotic socialists, crazy supremacists or frightened,

bigoted isolationists.

Add to that confusion the racial, ethnic and religious diversity

that makes up this country and we have, in the eyes of many, more

distinct lines of division, not a common people who can stand

together even in times of crises.

Yes, even in the name of God, there are individuals who proudly

declare their superiority over others while at the same time professing

their righteousness.

It’s hard to believe, but some folks have decided that

“E Pluribus Unum” is a controversial phrase used by

those who don’t want to acknowledge the country’s

³RI¿FLDO´�PRWWR� FKRVHQ� E\� &RQJUHVV� LQ� ����� GXULQJ�the Cold War: “In God We Trust.” Apparently we

can’t discuss a phrase emphasizing “unity” without it

somehow causing a rift.

I want to believe that we can be better than what

we’ve demonstrated in recent years, that despite our

believe that. To be honest, I have little hope.

Things won’t change while we have political leaders

who exacerbate the division by agitating their often

confused, frightened and disillusioned constituents

while preying on a system that has adopted dysfunction as an

acceptable alternative to leadership.

I’m afraid they will keep on doing it until we, the people,

demand otherwise — until we again truly embrace that theme:

E pluribus unum.

Remembering Marion

The 21-year-old Linda Robb trepidatiously clung to her daughter, Debbie, as she answered her front door on a fateful day in 1969.

A year earlier her young husband was sent to the war in Vietnam.

Now, death was knocking on her door and she knew her husband, Marion C. Robb, was never coming home.

Because of their youth, Linda never considered the possibility of him dying.

“Back then, at 21, I was certain he’d come home,” she said. She was mistaken, along with the families of eight other Cedar City men.

Marion, or Tiffer as he was called, was in military police from the time he arrived in Vietnam to his death later that same year.

BEFORE THE WARLinda and Tiffer met in Cedar City

High School, where Tiffer was dating one of Linda’s friends.

Linda said he was a very handsome, nice guy with a lot of friends. She said he was “just perfect.”

Linda was a founding member of a school marching group: Mohey Tawa.

They started going to games together.The couple double dated frequently

with Mike Slack. Mike was one of Tiffer’s best friends who later became a Cedar City councilor. The two grew up a block away from each other.

“I knew him my whole life,” Mike said. “I lived on 200 East and he lived on 300 East. We were friends forever.”

Mike said Tiffer was a quiet and intelligent man.

“(He was) so studious. (He) just studied and occasionally went to movies,” Mike said.

Tiffer was an avid hunter and never missed a shot, Mike said.

After Tiffer’s death, Linda gave 7LIIHU·V�KXQWLQJ�ULÁH�WR�0LNH�

“I have never missed a shot (with that gun),” he said.

On Linda’s graduation night in 1965, the young couple got engaged in his white 1964 Ford truck. The engagement was no surprise. They picked out the ring together and married on July 1, 1966.

They moved to Logan where he earned a degree in Civil Engineering from Utah State University. He went to work in Salt Lake City doing preliminary work for I-15.

Linda said he had job offers in other places but stayed in Utah to make her happy. Soon they were expecting their ÀUVW�FKLOG��0DULRQ�FRQWLQXHG�WR�ZRUN�LQ�

Salt Lake while Linda returned to Cedar City to be closer to their doctor. Debbie Robb was born July 16th, 1968.

Two weeks after the birth, Linda was handed Tiff’s “greetings from Uncle Sam.”

“He had a young family, a new career and he didn’t want to leave that REOLJDWLRQ�WR�JR�ÀJKW�LQ�D�ZDU�µ�VKH�VDLG��

He was very patriotic, she said, but didn’t want to leave his budding family.

Linda said she didn’t have an opinion about the war. She said she was “a little ostrich with her head in the sand.”

Linda said she worried and prayed all the time, “but not like I would have now.”

Just months before his hitch was up, Tiffer drowned in the South China Sea. ´,W�ZDV�WKH�ÀUVW�WLPH�,�UHDOL]HG�SHRSOH�

die,” she said. She was living a fantasy world with her

baby, waiting for him to come home. “You don’t expect the unexpected

when you’re 21,” she said. “But when it happens, you expect it all the time for the rest of your life.”

LIFE AS A WIDOW The casket arrived with Tiffer dressed

in his uniform to be buried with military honors. Linda wanted her husband buried in his suit.

“At that point, I was not very happy about the soldier thing anymore,” she said.

She said she didn’t want to remember him as a soldier, but as her high school sweetheart and husband.

She said her perspective on the military changed with Tiffer’s death.

“I’m not really sold that it is (worth it),” she said.

Tiffer used to write home, longing to be sealed in the temple when he returned. He got his wish posthumously one year after his death.

Tiffer’s parents took the death hard.“They didn’t even have a Christmas

tree,” Linda said.Tiffer’s sister, Karen Fae, said his

death was the “beginning of the end” for their parents; particularly their father ,who had a heart attack shortly after.

Their health deteriorated rapidly after the death, Karen said. Linda said Tiffer’s parent’s grief may have been worse than her own.

RESUMING LIFEAs a single mother and widow, Linda

began attending Southern Utah State College, looking for a career that would allow her to be home with her daughter.

Between classes Linda made trips to the snack bar; it was there she met Robert Milianta.

The two were married on October 25, 1975; seven years after Marion’s untimely death.

Linda became a second grade teacher at North Elementary. Teaching gave her a new focus, which she stayed with for 32 years. Linda said her whole life has been about children.´,W� EHFDPH� WKH� WKLQJ� ,� GHÀQHG�P\VHOI�

by,” she said.Linda and Robert had a son together,

Sam Milianta, on March 25, 1977. Sam is now a teacher in Sandy.

Debbie, who was almost one-year-old when her dad died, said she doesn’t remember him. But she remembers her mother crying a lot but not knowing why.

She was 12 before she fully understood what happened to her dad.

“I didn’t know him,” she said. “It’s not like I ever knew what I was missing.”

She does remember, however, that she didn’t get along with her stepfather.

Robert and Linda’s marriage ended 10 years later in divorce.

Linda says she sees Tiffer in Debbie. Besides being quiet, smart and talented,

they both shared similar interests.Debbie began studying engineering,

like her father, at SUSC. She changed KHU� PDMRU� DQG� ÀQLVKHG� KHU� GHJUHH� DW�the then-newly renamed Southern Utah University in accounting.

Debbie now works in Cedar City and lives with Linda. Debbie is single but she and Linda wonder what life would have been like if Tiffer were still alive.

“He would have been very nurturing to (Debbie) and supported her,” Linda said.

Linda has been divorced for 26 years and widowed for 43, but said she’s used to her lifestyle.

“When you’re placed in that (situation) and you have a child, you OHDUQ�WR�UHDOL]H�\RX�FDQ�GR�LW�µ�VKH�VDLG��“And you don’t need someone else to make you happy.”

After Tiffer died, Linda said the Cedar City community was very supportive. She got to know many Vietnam veterans while working on the war memorial in town. She heard stories of many veterans being treated poorly because of their service.

“But Cedar City was different,” Linda said. They would have welcomed Tiffer home.

“Well -- he didn’t come home.”In the 43 years since Tiffer’s

death, Linda and Debbie still have unanswered questions. Would Tiffer have had health or emotional problems from the war? Would he have had the life he dreamed of when he came home?

Linda said one thing is certain.“Things would have been better if

he’d been in our lives still,” she said. “A lot better.”

ROTC to host Veteran’s program

The SUU ROTC will be presenting their annual Veterans Day program today in the Randall Jones Theatre.

Trent Housley, student executive RIÀFHU� IRU� WKH� 688� 527&�� VDLG�the program will offer inspiring speakers which will make an impact with attendees of the event.

“Last year’s speaker was an amputee veteran,” said Housley.

The keynote speaker for the event will be Daniel Roberts. Roberts served as battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, 222nd Field Artillery in Cedar City. Roberts has been named an outstanding soldier of the year, received Army meritorious service medals for his deployments in Japan and Korea, and has even received a Congressional Legion of Merit medal.

Brittany Pierce, a lieutenant for the ROTC, said there will be a guest speaker (Roberts) who will set the stage for the program.

“We will share some experiences from each of the honorees’ service,” Lt. Pierce said. “We also have a portion that represents every branch of the military because all service to our country is important.”

“We have helped out over the past few years,” said Housley. “We will provide the color guard, ÁDJ�EHDUHUV�DQG�XVKHUV�IRU�WKH�HYHQW�µ

Lt. Pierce said she is looking forward to the playing of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines song.

Lt.Pierce said attending the program will be a great way to show support for the men and women who KDYH�VDFULÀFHG�WKHLU�WLPH�RU�SRVVLEO\�lives for our country.

Housley likewise encourages students to show their support.

“It’s a great opportunity to learn and to hear from our veterans,” said Housley.

Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in Metro-Goldwyn-0D\HU� 3LFWXUHV�&ROXPELD� 3LFWXUHV�(21� 3URGXFWLRQV·�action-adventure Skyfall.

Skyfall marks Bond’s 50th anniversarySkyfall is a cool, strident

addition to the 007 lineup. Now I’ll keep this (relatively)

spoiler free; Skyfall doesn’t need to be explained in terms of story. It lives in a universe we’re already familiar with. Bond needs no introduction; it needs exploration (something Skyfall is interested in). The James Bond franchise marks its 50th anniversary with the release of Skyfall, solidifying what is undoubtedly one of the biggest staples to popular culture. Here’s a movie still looking for something original left to say, and by George if it GRHVQ·W�ÀQG�LW�

Skyfall likes to meditate on the clash of old and new, the golden age and the information age, and WKLV� LV� UHÁHFWHG� LQ� WKH� VFHQHU\��Decrepit grey British tunnels rail against installations of sterile white iPhone-age computers. A cool palette runs the shots with a tip-toed pace of dialogue. All this with Bond’s iconic musical themes, this time embellished by a heart stopping melancholic opening sung by made-for-the-part Grammy Award winner Adele (she was born to sing a Bond theme). She mixes classic

croons with a luxurious modern day pop ballad feel.

The action is exciting; motorcycle-train chases, brawls in a komodo dragon pit, and a showdown in the third act that’ll slap you in the face with its wit and terror. This from director Sam Mendes (American

Beauty, Jarhead), a director who’s never made this type of movie before. Mendes’ cameras live in their settings. They explore every corner and ceiling looking for nuances; hiding like undercover agents.

This movie marks the third of the Daniel Craig Bond movies, and the tuxedo continues to ÀW�KLP��&UDLJ�VWLOO�SOD\V�his Bond a bit stoic but always cool. Thus this installment is just as much about Bond’s supervisor, M (Judi Dench), as it is Bond, and Dench continues to dish out her signature blend of modern ball-busting lady-boss and valiant British patriot. Dench, an actor with conviction, gives an M beleaguered by time but ferociously invested in the stake

of her job. Newly added is Q (Ben

Whishaw), the quartermaster, Bond’s distributor of technical gizmos. Whinshaw is the youngest actor to take the role, a fact Skyfall likes to highlight. He and Bond banter over how their respective ages lie in extremes of spy work. Also,

Naomie Harris as a MXQLRU�ÀHOG�DJHQW�SOD\V�fun and brash despite all the old folks around her talking politics.

Oh and Javier Bardem, he is quite fun. His Raoul Silva takes “Bond villain” out of stereotype with a carefreeness to anarchy and crime, like Christopher Nolan’s Joker without the facepaint and sadism. Perhaps he’s a bit IRSSLVK��EXW�ÁDPER\DQFH�

baits well for a villain so jolly about cyber crime.

There’s a lot of talk of cyber crime. Skyfall recognizes the challenge of a genre a bit outdated. M is straight up asked the question “do we even need human intelligence when espionage is nigh exclusively

electronic?” But technobabble and hack-attacks make more ornaments than centerpieces.

Skyfall is mainly about betrayal by the people and places that we take refuge in. It asks “how sure can you be a tradition will keep you safe?” This is especially important considering this is a rather old franchise we’re talking about here. For something that’s EHHQ� DURXQG� ÀIW\� \HDUV�� \RX�may think it may have run out of things to show.

Well, clearly it hasn’t. And while kitschy but clever homages to the old series (mentions of exploding pens and ejector seats) to Bond’s roots come out, Skyfall is playing a different game. It openly states Bond’s hobby is “resurrection” and I seem to believe it. Bond will not quit. $IWHU�VHYHQ�DFWRUV�DQG����ÀOPV��Bond is still cool, still chic and still a smash.

Rated PG-13 for intense violent sequences throughout, some sexuality, language and smoking.

Climbing UphillThe Last 5 Years explores journey of couple’s relationship

The Last 5 Years�� D� VWRU\� RI� D� ÀYH�year journey of a couple, told from opposite sides of the relationship, premiered last weekend at the Off the Cuff Training Center.

The musical, which is rarely performed, is told from reverse chronological order (beginning the show from the end of the story) from Cathy’s perspective and chronological order from Jamie’s perspective. The couple meets in the middle of the show during their wedding.

Alex Allred, a senior theatre arts major from Scottsdale, Ariz., plays Jamie and MacKenzie Pedersen, a senior theatre arts major from Cedar

Hills, plays Cathy.Allred said having an audience has

helped bring his character to life. “In a lot of my songs I interact with

the audience and look at them and talk to them,” he said. “It’s hard when it’s empty chairs, so having the audience here it really changes everything.”

Pedersen said Allred and herself wanted to perform the production by showing the interchanges between the lives of Jamie and Cathy.

“We really didn’t want to make it a musical review where one person got up and sang and the other person got up and sang,” she said. “We really wanted to make it like we were in each other’s worlds. The hard thing about that process was justifying the worlds crossing over.”

Because of the couple’s worlds crossing paths, Pedersen said many choices had to be made about certain PRPHQWV� GXULQJ� WKH� ÀYH�\HDU�relationship.´:H� KDG� D� ORW� RI� JDSV� WR� ÀOO� LQ� DQG�

create stories and make choices about where he met her and what happened,” she said. $OOUHG� VDLG� ZKHQ� KH� ÀUVW� VWDUWHG�

going over the show, he looked over words nd his own personal experiences to create the character of Jamie.

“First, I looked through every song. My songs and her songs, and every word that they said to see what it was that (Jamie) did in the relationship or how he was acting,” he said. “There’s also been a lot of exploring relationships, ones I’ve been in and ones that didn’t

work out.”Allred said he especially looked at the

song “Still Hurting,” which is sung by &DWK\��GHVFULELQJ�WKH�HQG�RI�WKH�ÀYH�\HDU�relationship and the problems Jamie has, as his motivation for his character.

Allred wants the audience to leave thinking about the relationships in their lives and how they can keep them going.

“I hope the audience gets the message that every person in our lives has a reason,” he said. “I hope they also see the things that were done wrong in the relationship so they can look at their own lives and relationships around WKHP�DQG�VHH�KRZ�WKH\�FDQ�À[�WKHP�µ

Pedersen and Allred have talked about performing The Last 5 Years since 2009, but it was put on hold due to Allred’s two-year mission with the Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “It’s such a beautiful show with so

much to say, and so much to explore in relationships and characters and we just really wanted to put it on,” Allred said.

Tiffany Greer, a junior mathematics major from Phoenix, said she loved the show and its simple concept.

“It’s very interesting how one person is going forward through the relationship and one is going backwards,” she said. “I thought it was powerful the way it was written.”

The Last 5 Years will continue performances on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Off the Cuff Training Center. Tickets are available on eBay or by contacting Redge Palmer at (435) 823-0907.

Boundless Journeys, a combination of the annual student and faculty dance concerts, performed their journeys of dance last weekend.

Dalton Burr, a sophomore dance major from Gunnison, who performs in eight pieces during the show, said Boundless Journeys, to him, means chances given to him by the dance department.

“I think it means the endless amount of opportunities and things and events that can happen in our lives because of this department,” he said. “I think this is the highlight of this year because we don’t have a concert next semester so this is the epitome of realizing all of those opportunities that dance can bring to you through performance and stage and makeup and costuming and auditioning.”

Kay Anderson, chair of the department of theatre arts and dance, said the concert is open for the student choreographers to steer in the direction they choose.

“Boundless Journeys, to me, means that students are taking the opportunity to create pieces with faculty mentors, but they

are totally open to go wherever they want,” he said.

Alex Wall, a senior dance HGXFDWLRQ�PDMRU�IURP�5LFKÀHOG��performed in nine pieces in the show, and choreographed a piece for the show.

Wall said her piece, “What’s Inside”, describes the process of ÀQGLQJ�\RXUVHOI��

“The piece I choreographed for WKH�VKRZ� LV�DERXW� WU\LQJ� WR�ÀQG�your individuality,” she said. “It’s about taking who you are and who you were and going out into society and a lot of times society is trying to make you a certain person. My piece is WU\LQJ�WR�ÀJXUH�RXW�ZKR�\RX�DUH�and remember that, as well as incorporate the things that come into your life and to create who you are today and to become a strong individual.”

Burr said because the two concerts were combined there was a lot more to think about.

“It was a little more stressful because we had to get everything ready sooner,” he said. “Last year you could not worry about the faculty piece until that semester came around.”

Anderson said he enjoys the end products the students create.

“I always enjoy seeing our dance choreographers work with

lighting designers and costume designers and between the three of them, coming up with a work of art,” he said. “To see dancers get beyond the technique, get beyond regurgitating steps and coming up with unique vocabulary that represents something that they want to communicate to an audience for me is thrilling.”

Burr said people who come to the dance show don’t need to understand dance, but just enjoy it.

“You don’t need to understand everything,” he said. “You just need to know that what we’re doing is beautiful in its own way even if it’s different for you because culturally dance is so many different things.”

The SUU volleyball team won both conference games of the weekend all season beating Montana State on Friday and Montana on Saturday. The wins drastically improved the T-Bird’s chances of clinching a postseason berth in the Big Sky and move the T-Birds record to 7-11 in the conference.

With the two wins and a pair of MSU losses over the weekend, SUU now stands just one game back of the Bobcats for the ÀQDO�SOD\RII�VSRW�LQ�WKH�%LJ�6N\

SUU chops Lumberjacks in triple overtime thriller

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – On a fourth down and four NAU quarterback Cary Grossart rolled RXW� WR� WKH� ULJKW� WU\LQJ� WR� ÀQG�a receiver but SUU defensive lineman Cody Larsen wouldn’t let him get away and wrapped him up to secure the 35-29 third overtime victory at the Walkup Skydome in Flagstaff, Ariz.

“I missed him on the third down,” Larsen said. “I just took RQH�ELJ�EUHDWK� DQG�ÀUHG�RII� WKH�ball. It was basically the same protection and the quarterback rolled out the same way and I ZDV� DEOH� WR� ÀQLVK� WKDW� VDFN� WR�end the game.”

The Lumberjacks (8-2, 6-1 Big

Sky) had not lost a game since the ÀUVW�ZHHN�RI�WKH�VHDVRQ�DQG�XQWLO�Saturday, was the lone leader atop the Big Sky standings.

After jumping out to a 12-0 halftime lead, the T-Birds found WKHPVHOYHV� WUDLOLQJ� IRU� WKH� ÀUVW�time as they started their drive with 5:14 remaining in the game. Sorensen led SUU on a 13-play, 73-yard drive to the NAU 2-yard line, but running back Brian Wilson was unable to punch it LQ� WZLFH�� 688� VHWWOHG� IRU� D� ÀHOG�goal to tie it up and send it into overtime as time expired.

The T-Birds had the momentum going into overtime after they tied it up at the end of the game.

Sorensen said he didn’t know what had changed, but things just seemed to click for them towards the end and into the

hooked up with running back Henna Brown for 19-yards, which set up a quarterback draw to put the T-Birds up 22-15. Grossart was successful through the air as he connected with wide receiver Dejzon Walker for 12-yards to tie it up and send it to a second overtime.

NAU started with the ball in the second overtime and Grossart completed a 17-yard pass for a touchdown to take a 29-22 lead. After a holding call on NAU helped keep the drive alive, Sorensen connected with Moala for a 14-yard touchdown sending it into a third overtime.

SUU once again started with the ball and Sorensen hit wide receiver Easton Pedersen, who

broke two tackles, to get into the end zone. The Lumberjacks started on the 25-yard line and got to the nine yard line on a couple of Bauman plays.

On 3rd-and-7 Grossart found wide receiver Ca’leve DeBoskie for four yards to set up a 4th-and-4 for NAU. Grossart rolled out to the right but wasn’t quick enough as Larsen wrapped him up for the sack to secure it for the victory.

SUU ends its season 5-6 after the big upset win against NAU.

“It’s a great way to end the season,” head coach Ed Lamb said. “It’s great for the seniors to go out like that and great for the underclassmen just to understand that our team is really close to being able to compete week in and week out with some of the best teams in the country.”

T-Birds with 21 points off the bench, but SOU guard Melissa Sweat led all scorers with 26.

“I think our team stepped it up on screening and we were just more disciplined running our plays,” Hepworth said. “I guess I was just in the zone, I was hitting shots and I was just having fun.”

The T-Birds (1-0) had four other players score in double ÀJXUHV� RQ� WKH� QLJKW� OHG� E\�guard Hailey Mandelko, who led the starters with 18 points, while forward Carli Moreland QRWFKHG�KHU�ÀUVW�GRXEOH�GRXEOH�of the season with 11 points and 13 rebounds.

SUU came out of the gate strong, scoring the game’s ÀUVW� SRLQWV� ��� VHFRQGV� LQ� RII�a 3-pointer from Mandelko, but the Red Raiders answered right back on a driving layup by guard Ashley Claussen.

The teams then went back-and-forth the next several possessions as neither team could build more than a one possession lead until Hepworth KLW�KHU�ÀUVW�EXFNHW�RI�WKH�JDPH�to give the T-Birds a 14-10 lead at the 14:42 mark of the ÀUVW�KDOI�

The T-Birds built the lead to as much as seven on forward Lori Parkinson’s free throw with 4:08 remaining before SOU went on a 6-0 over the next 3 minutes to cut the lead to 40-39 with just over a minute to play.

SUU used stellar defense to force two quick turnovers and turn their one point lead into a 46-39 seven point lead at the half.

“That last minute is how we wanted to start the game,” head coach JR Payne said. “That type of intensity, pressure and talk, all those things we did in that last minute is how we anticipated the beginning of the game to go, but we didn’t so that was disappointing.”

The second half began eerily VLPLODU�WR�WKH�ÀUVW�DV�0DQGHONR�opened the scoring with another ��SRLQWHU� WR� JLYH� 688� LWV� ÀUVW�double-digit lead of the game.

The T-Birds used an 18-6 run to extend their lead to 67-45 with 14:22 left in the game, and the Red Raiders would never get closer than 18 the rest of the way.

SUU would reach its biggest lead of the night at 97-63 on a pair of free throws by guard Desiree Jackson with 4:39 to go in the half.

“We had spurts of good play �LQ� WKH� ÀUVW� KDOI�� DQG� RXU� JRDO�for the second half was to be more consistent,” Mandelko said. “We still didn’t do it but we have the spurts that we needed (to win the game) but we need to play a more consistent game.”
