more, only half of the jobs landed by these new graduates even require a college degree, reviving debates about whether higher education is worth it after all. According to the same article there was a study released by the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University in May 2011, showing the median starting salary for students graduating from four-year colleges in 2009 and 2010 was $27,000, down from $30,000 for those who entered the work force in 2006 to 2008. Even before the effects of ination, that is a decline of nearly 10 percent. Among the members of the class of 2010, just 56 percent had held at least one job by this spring, when the survey was conducted. Rampell said. That compares with 90 percent of graduates See GRADUATES on Page 3

Putting your degree to good use after graduating and entering the real world might not be completely dependent on your desire to work. According to the New York Times, students just out of college are struggling more than ever to nd jobs that require a degree and the situation is getting worse. Employment rates for new college graduates have fallen sharply in the last two years, as have starting salaries for those who can nd work, Catherine Rampell wrote for the Times in an article with the headline Many With New College Degree Find the Job Market Humbling.

Detmer to Hall of Fame


Ty Detmer left BYU in 1991 with more than just a bachelors degree. The legendary quarterback also left with 59 NCAA records, a Heisman Trophy, a Davey OBrien Award, a Sammy Baugh Trophy, a college football player of the year title and two all-American selections. Now, the man who seems to have it all can add one more to his list: an induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

The death of homemaking


Wednesday night visitors came to the Death Party in the Harris Fine Arts Center to celebrate the gurative death of homemaking. Alexi Bullock, a senior studying graphic design, is the artist behind Domaign, the new idea of homemaking. She said the term homemaking just isnt what it used to be. The core was there, the foundation was all correct, but it just needed to be changed, Alexi Bullock said.

BYU students create high-end iPad cases


Levi Price wanted an effective case to protect his iPad without losing any unique features of the tablet, but he didnt like any of the cases he tried. With the help of his friend Eric Rea, the two BYU students made their own. Together they started the company FineGrain and developed two new iPad cases, the Bowden and the Shefeld, designed to effectively protect the iPad with style.

Hooray for National Hamburger Month


The month of May is more than half over, yet many carnivores are still unaware that this month signies a great celebration for them: National Hamburger Month. The all-American favorite is celebrated throughout the month of May, but the ofcial day to nationally celebrate the holiday is May 28. Burger joints around Provo are getting in the spirit and offering deals this month to give attention to the iconic meal.

Living Planet Aquarium getting bigger and better


Why would a shark cross the road? In the case of the Living Planet Aquarium, the sharks will be crossing a few roads to get to their new home. After six years of residence in an old craft store, the aquarium is about to triple in size and move neighborhoods. The new facility will be in Draper, just off the I-15. Angie Hyde, the director of public relations said they hope to be nished with the new building by next June.

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR

QS

What were your thoughts heading into teaching?

What specic teaching styles do you use?

Have there been any surprises teaching here?

Do examples help students understand concepts?

Why did you choose to teach at BYU?

Prof. John Haws


John Haws teaches the Doctrine and Covenants classes in the Department of Church History and Doctrine under Religious Education.

I had taught a summer class at BYU in 2008 while I was working on my doctorate degree. I absolutely loved it. Id been teaching seminary for 14 years at high schools in the Salt Lake and Ogden areas, so I loved working with students and talking about gospel things, but I was de nitely nervous about BYU. This was a whole new ball game with students that were now earning grades, and this was a slightly different age group with a maturity level that I wasnt certain Id measure up to. But I was very excited because I absolutely love talking about the scriptures with students, so I think the excitement probably outweighed the apprehension.

I think with any teacher we feel our job is experimentation. I think all teachers feel like theyve never arrived, were always trying to get to that next step, to do something better. Students appreciate hearing from their peers. I think a multitude of testimonies, especially, works well in a religion class. Opportunities for students to express what they have learned might be the most impressive thing another student hears. When they hear one of their peers has found an answer in the scriptures, and can bear a testimony of that, its really effective. We can create an environment where students can teach and testify to each other.

I was surprised at how good the students were and have been. I knew they would be good; I love BYU and I knew that the students would be great, but theyve exceeded my expectations. Students are better than I thought that really is true. Classes are more exciting than I thought, participation is more dynamic and more thoughtful than I thought. Im impressed by how bright students are, their level of thinking. I think were lucky in religion that the subjectmatter is so great students already come in with a feeling that theyre going to enjoy the subject-matter. Thats been a fantastic and fun surprise.

I hope so. Thats what religion professors really care about the gospel mattering. Its like the standard high school complaint about math When am I ever going to use this in my life? You nd out pretty quick you dont need math in the real world. We hope in religion class people start feeling like, Im going to use this today, and every day for the rest of my life. We hope people will see gospel principles are so relevant to them and in every facet of life. In real-life examples, especially funny ones, you want to learn a lesson that is memorable, and that life is exciting and entertaining. I hope we all see how the gospel works in every aspect of life.

I love BYU. I love everything about it, and I love everything BYU stands for. I remember being at my grandpas house and watching Devin Durrant play basketball. Thats my rst memory of BYU. My rst full season of watching BYU football games was the 1984 national championship season. It just cemented my love. I realized I really felt BYU was this ambassador for the gospel, and this agship for the Church. A lot of people who wouldnt have exposure to the Church had exposure to BYU. I just love everything BYU stands for, and that its trying to make a difference in the world with its larger mission. By Alex Hoeft

BYU students raise more than $200,000 for new camera remote iPhone and Android app
Three students raised funds for app creation
Three BYU students had a goal to raise $25,000 to fund a new camera remote app. They had no idea they would exceed their goal by $200,000. Kevin Harrington, Luke Dufeld and Brett Gottula are the BYU students behind TriggerHappy, an iPhone and Android app that acts as a camera remote for a DSLR or high-end point-and-shoot camera. They were excited and overwhelmed by the amount of support TriggerHappy received with 3,710 backers supporting the product. Harrington said the reason behind their success was no accident. We listened to our customers, Harrington said. We knew who to talk to and determined a way to improve camera remotes. The TriggerHappy remote lets photo-enthusiasts take better shots with nothing but their own smart phones and a small cable. Inside the one-meter long cable is a small signal processor that connects the camera to the sma r t phone through the phones audio jack. T he app is a simple camera trigger but also includes bulb fu nctiona lity for longer exposure, time-lapse mode, HDR mode with up to nine shots and 16 stops of dynamic r a n ge a nd bulb ramping for time-lapses from day to night. The TriggerHappy Kevin app can be Harrington used on the iPhone, iPad, on the reason iPod Touch for the three BYU along with students success select modin creating a els of Canon, new iPhone and Nikon, Sony, Android app P e n t a x , Olympus, Samsung, Kodak and FujiFilm cameras. The iPhone and Android app and cable are $49.95 and preorders will ship on July 1. By Sarah Shepherd

School or start-up: The allure of entrepreneurship


By KrisTin Todd
Dan Blake makes money from garbage. Literally. After scarfing down French toast at a restaurant in Provo, Blake asked what was being done with the leftovers. When he saw dumpsters full of rotting food, he had an idea. One thing led to another and I started Dumpster diving to experiment with food waste, Blake said. Then I stumbled across a recipe that made for really good garden soil. This experiment led Blake to start the company EcoScraps, which turns food waste into a compost soil. But running a highly successful business and attending classes didnt seem to run hand-in-hand. My business is definitely taking priority over school, Blake said. Im currently about one semester away from graduating, but the last semester I really attended was winter semester 2010. As the spirit of entrepreneurship takes hold on college-aged students, many have to choose between finishing school and pursuing their dream business. With the downturn in the economy and changes in the innovative entrepreneurship curriculum at BYU, fertile soil is being planted for students to grow their own ventures. In your early 20s when youre at college, you dont know that youre not supposed to be able to do certain things, so you just go do it, said John Richards, an associate professor at the BYU Marriott School of Management. Its pretty magical. Students are making their ideas happen by following in the footsteps of other successful college drop-outs. We are surrounded by examples of people doing fun things and making insane amounts of money, said Kurt Brown, a Utah business owner and mentor to college-aged entrepreneurs, and that is extremely attractive. Brown began his career by taking a risk that eventually changed his life. After winning multiple college investment competitions, Browns former mission president gave him $100,000 to prove his developing skills. He actually wrote me the check at the Brick Oven over lunch. It was more money than I had seen in my whole lifetime, Brown said. We slowly grew that out, and then in about two years we had about 15 to 20 million dollars that I was managing. Like Blake, Brown put school on the back burner. Eventually he left college to enter the world of business and met great success. Its really a decision if opportunity trumps conventional wisdom, Brown said. I think that sometimes if your opportunity is good enough, you might just need to take it and try it because you might not get it again. Michael Borgholthaus took the plunge after his junior year at BYU when he decided to defer school for his business. I havent made millions of dollars, but its been a great opportunity, Borgholthaus said. Scott Petersen, director of BYUs Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, hopes to grow the top-ten ranked program in the nation to being the global leader in campus-inspired entrepreneurial ventures. Last year there were 29 student teams in the business plan competition, Petersen said. This year there were 114. BYU entrepreneurs recently proved they are up to competing in the big leagues. Blakes company made more money in the past month than in all of 2011. Scan, Inc., a company that creates custom QR (Quick Response) codes, recently raised more than $1.7 million in seed funding for an iPhone app they developed. And the numbers continue to rise. If you take an entrepreneurial class, those professors drill it in you start your own business. Do it. You can do it, said Mark Ercanbrack, BYU student and owner of Me Crepes, a crepe restaurant in Provo. Af-

Graduates
Graduates find work outside of their degrees
Continued from Page 1
from the classes of 2006 and 2007. Students know the job market is shrinking and becoming ever more competitive. Thats why some are deciding the best option is to wait it out while in school. I knew there werent going to be many job prospects for me until I got my Ph.D., said Travis Patterson, 23, a 2010 graduate of California State University, Fullerton. Patterson works as an administrative assistant for a property management company while continuing to study psychology in graduate school. His current job may not have anything to do with his degree, but he said it pays the bills. It helps pay my rent and tuition, he said, and thats what matters. For those students who are unsure where their degree will take them and if it will yield a substantial enough return on investment after the debt they might accrue, there are always two sides to a story. Damon Pullman, 34, a 2001 graduate in Russian with a business minor from BYU, is a prime example that not all students use their degree in their professional career, but rather to initially get their foot in the door. Following graduation, Pullman had some great opportunities present themselves, one of which potentially involved using his expertise in Russian to help aid the FBI for a very minimal government salary.

students receive diplomas during a graduation ceremony at BYU in April.


This opportunity, although aligning perfectly with his major, was not substantial enough to support his financial goals and was not where he felt like he could make the greatest impact. There was something greater out there for Damon to be a part of. While he searched for his niche, he settled on selling computers for Lenovo. The experience and knowledge he gained while working for Lenovo gave him what he needed to propel himself into a career in pharmaceuticals. A degree should be looked at as a tool, Pullman said. You can use it or toss it in the corner to rust. I was excited about pharmaceuticals from the beginning. I knew I needed a degree to even qualify to get in. I needed some experience in sales, which I did, and tried hard to stand apart from everyone else. Through preparation and focus I was able to obtain what I wanted and get into a very competitive industry. Damon is now a District Manager of Sales for Mylan Specialty Pharmaceuticals and has been with the company for more than six years. He attributes his success to using his degree obtained at BYU as the cornerstone, but not the foundation, of his career.

start-up business owner Mark Ercanbrack makes crepes at his business Me Crepes in Provo.
ter you get out of one of those classes, youre pumped up. However, Ercanbrack didnt find himself running for BYUs back door because he started his own business. He and his family still value education. I would never drop-out of college, because I want to finish school, Ercanbrack said. For many students, entrepreneurship isnt the secret to success. In fact, for most its the path towards a quick dose of humility and failure. The vast majority of people should not be entrepreneurs, Richards said. If you dont have the necessary risk genes of putting it all on the line, then you shouldnt be an entrepreneur. Petersen said education often means more than knowledge, and whenever possible a degree should be completed for self and posteritys sake. Education does more than enable you to get money, Petersen said. It allows you to season yourself as a person. A broad education makes you a more interesting person. Even the well-educated feel the pull toward entrepreneurship as an outlet for exploring creative skills. After completing her masters in accounting, Chantel Ockerman landed a job in a top accounting firm but realized a desk job was not her dream come true. I was smothered in the job, Ockerman said. I didnt feel like I was growing at all. I just felt like I was at the bottom again. Entrepreneurship gave me power. It gave me a sense of ownership of something. Joshua Aikens, an entrepreneur in St. George, thinks the economy is shifting to the world of EcoScraps, Scan, Inc. and Me Crepes. Start-ups are a good thing for America, he said From this will come fabulous ideas, new innovations, great business success and tax payer revenue. There is a need for entrepreneurship. As the entrepreneurial spirit continues to thrive in Provo, students will continue to face the dilemma Dan Blake faces school or start-up. I guess I chose EcoScraps over school, Blake said. But at the end of the day its education thats valued, not a degree per se. Im still working on my education but its in a less traditional way.

SuSpiciouS perSonS

Of cones and closures on the I-15


By KUrT Hanson
The bumper-to-bumper, rush-hour traffic on the I-15 slows down everyone from students heading to class to associate directors zooming to their city offices. Brent Anderson, a recent BYU-Idaho graduate who now lives in Provo, commutes daily from Provo to Salt Lake City where he works as an associate director at Pro Bar. Before the construction on I-15 began in Utah County, Anderson had little to factor into his commute other than the morning rush hour. Now he leaves, on average, an extra 30 minutes earlier to compensate for the gridlock waiting for him on his way to work. You have to deal with it because theres no other way around it, Anderson said. Anderson tried other ways to get to Salt Lake City, but it was never worth it. When he tried State Street, it was jammed and delayed him even more than the interstate did. Detouring to Geneva Road resulted in the same conditions. Anderson is stuck with commuting on I-15. In the spring of 2010, the I-15 CORE construction project began from Lehi to Spanish Fork. The project is planned to finish at the end of 2012 with an influx of construction over the summer. Leigh Dethman, public relations manager for the I-15 CORE project, said the aging condition of the interstate and the population growth of Utah County prompted the project idea in 2002. Utah County is growing extremely fast and we need to accommodate that growth, Dethman said. The Mou ntai n land Association of Governments ran an assessment of I-15 in 2002. They found several signs of wear and tear and the necessity for expansion. I-15 was built in Utah County in the 1960s, and the aging infrastructure and size of the highway arent meeting current demands. So the construction began, and within a year one-third of the construction was complete. The construction hasnt been exclusive to repairing bridges and other common wear and tear. The plans for the project include the addition of two lanes in both directions, a pedestrian tunnel at Utah Valley University and extending the express lane from University Parkway to Spanish Fork all aimed at improving the drive through Utah County. With the projected end of construction in sight, the construction has caused the present to be a hassle. Adriana Westover, a senior from Cross Plains, Wis., studying exercise science at BYU, said her frequent trips to visit family in Eagle Mountain, Sandy and Salt Lake City have become more stressful and dangerous. Its nice that theyre trying to improve safety, Westover said, It just feels like theres a safer way to go about doing it. Westover said there have been times when she has driven on I-15 and the lane and exit closures caused others to either drive recklessly or inattentively. Its pretty scary to drive next to a semi or bus that needs to merge soon because their lane is ending, Westover said. Westover, who said the

May 8 a male in his 40s asked a female who was sitting in her car by the Provo Temple if she was all alone. Then he went around her car and took pictures of her license plates. she drove away and reported it to the police. The suspect fled. May 8 a male came to a parked car and indicated to the female to roll down the window. another male wearing a hoodie sitting in a car next to the females seemed to also have a nefarious purpose. The female refused to open the window and left the scene rapidly. The suspects left the scene before police arrived.

t seems like the state of Utah is perpetually under construction.

May 9 a BYU employee reported receiving a phone message from a male with a low voice saying she would regret what she had done. The police tracked the cell phone owner. The owner agreed to help the police with the investigation, but did not recognize the call made from that phone. The case is still under investigation.
Medical

May 9 a male student was injured playing games on campus. He ran head on into another student causing strong headaches. The police told him to go to the hospital. May 11 a student complained of lightheadedness after inhaling fumes in the sWKT. The BYU eMs arrived to help, but he refused treatment. May 11 a female student called police after accidentally cutting her hand. she was sitting down on the bathroom floor pressing the deep wound on her hand when police arrived at Wyview Park housing. another student drove her to the hospital to receive stitches.
parking

May 10 The front bumpers of two cars were touching each other in the faculty parking lot. The faculty member called police to check the cars. neither car had any damage.
aniMal probleM

May 10 a student called from Wyview Park housing saying there was a bird by the stairwell in the student apartment. The police arrived and found an injured pigeon, but it flew away.
Traffic offenSe

May 10 someone reported a motorcycle rider on the sidewalk between the Wilkinson Center and the Harris Fine arts Center. When police arrived the offender had left the area.
loST properTy

May 11 an international student reported his ecuadorian passport lost. The last time he remembers having the passport was when his wife brought it to campus for him. it has not been located. May 11 a female student left her backpack at the bus stop and when she returned it was gone. Then she decided she actually had left it on campus at the computer lab. The backpack was found at the lab and returned to its owner.
lockouT

construction is necessary, said there could be more productive ways of getting it finished, besides closing lanes during rush hour. Businesses around the county have felt the effects of the construction, both good and bad. Steve Densley, Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce president, said businesses around alternate routes, like State Street, have had good fortune as commuters try to take stay off the interstate. But there is a problem. We dont have a lot of these other roads, Densley said. Densley said with less travelers along I-15, business around interchanges has slumped. He said in the past, businesses intentionally set up shop around the interstate. Everybody knows that the corridors are accessible up and down, Densley said. But a lot of people dont even like to go on I-15 if they can avoid it. Even though the construction has slowed down some business, the I-15 CORE project and other road projects currently underway or soon to start will keep construction workers within the state employed and stable. However, some think it is not wise to stay under constant construction. Anderson has seen his

travel change as construction projects move from road to road. It seems like the state of Utah is perpetually under construction, Anderson said. Do you think its wise to be perpetually under construction? As Densley said, drivers regularly avoid the interstate and may try even harder in the summer months, during which more construction is planned. Andrew Jackson, board member of the Mountainland Association of Governments, said the warmer weather means more orange on the road. Its going to get worse before it gets better, Jackson said. Now theyve got to do those things theyve been putting off for a little bit. There will be pain for a little bit. Ramps open and close, lanes get covered in orange barrels and traffic goes slower. It has seemed like an eternity for most, but the construction has been moving more efficiently than most like it around the country. This will be the fastest billion dollar project, Dethman said. Were reconstructing 24 miles of highway in just 35 months. Densley said with the small number of other roads to take commuters from one county to another, drivers might as well grin and bear it. Your best bet is to just do what you can and jump on I-15, Densley said. For now, Anderson will continue to make his hour long commute to Salt Lake City equipped with a Fast Pass to use in express lanes, audio books and talk radio to lessen the burden.

Distinguished BYU professor and author to give Devotional


Devotional speaker studies church history and culture
B y K aT e B e n n i o n
Mike Hunter, chair of the Harold B. Lee Library Religion and Family History Department and the librarian for Church history and doctrine, will give Tuesdays Devotional. Born and raised in Virginia, Hunter decided to study history after coming to BYU as an undergraduate. Growing up in Virginia, I was surrounded by historical sites, Hunter said. History was always what I loved and really wanted to do. Hunter holds BA, MLS and MPA degrees from BYU, as well as an MA from California State University, Dominguez Hills. Although he lives in Utah Valley, he worked at the Church Historical Department in Salt Lake City for eight years before beginning employment at BYU in 2001. I wrote two books on the bus commuting up for all those years, Hunter said. He has also written articles in the field of Mormon and Utah history, and a book about Mormon folklore and urban legends. Hunter is the librarian for Church history and doctrine and chair of the Religion and Family History Departments at the Harold B. Lee Library where, in addition to collecting church materials and performing administrative duties, he spends a lot of time helping students. I meet with a lot of students doing research projects and need research assistance, Hunter said. I get a lot of emails from students at other universities doing research, especially students in Mormon Studies programs. Utah State, UVU, Claremont, Wyoming, even the University of Durham in England has a PhD program in Mormon Studies. And so students quite often rely on BYU to get the research materials that they need. Hunter is also editor of and contributor to Mormons and Popular Culture: The Global Inf luence of an American Phenomenon, coming out later this year. The two-volume anthology outlines the inf luence LDS church members have had from the invention of the television to themes in Battlestar Galactica. Its a book that covers how Mormons have been portrayed in movies, on television, in film and in the theater, Hunter said. It also discusses how Mormons have contributed to popular culture through their talents and skills. While Hunter wouldnt give away the subject of Tuesdays

Paid vs. unpaid: The internship debate


By JESSICA HENRIE
In the February opinion pages of The New York Times, blogger Raphael Pope-Sussman compared unpaid internships to the use of child laborers in coal mines in the 1900s. This week, thousands of young people will work 40 hours (or more) answering phones, making coffee or doing data entry without earning a cent, Pope-Sussman wrote. These unpaid interns receive no benets, no legal protection against harassment or discrimination and no job security. Internships are required in some majors at BYU, though the de nition of what qualies as an internship varies widely from college to college. McKenzie Lawyer Davies, a career counselor at BYUs Career Services, is a fan of internships. Its no secret prior experience gives students an edge when applying for jobs. Internships, whether full-time or a few hours a week, can provide a win-win situation for students and employers. However, Davies encourages students to do their homework when applying. First you need to clarify what an internship is, Davies said. To me, it gives experience more than a part time job.

hink of it as a mortgage on your future. It may be tough now, but it pays off in the long run.

Davies encourages students to use resources on campus, such as the university job board, eRecruiting, University Career Services and the internship coordinator within their college. The university is careful about the companies it promotes and mindful of unpaid internships, like the ones Pope-Sussman describes, that seem like a good opportunity,

but turn out to be duds in the way of gaining real world experience. We have had students who have been exploited, Davies said. Each summer, we get a few phone calls from really concerned parents. Their children are somewhere in the United States, most often doing summer sales, that say My student is stuck here; theyre stuck in this horrible situation and you need to get them out, because the student found the opportunity at BYU, not in our ofce, but elsewhere on campus whether it was from another student, or someone was recruiting on campus even though they werent supposed to. Davies said in these circumstances BYU addresses the concerns with the organization and either bans them from recruiting on campus or warns if it happens again they will be banned. In addition to considering the quality of the internship and utilizing BYUs resources, Davies suggested calling the company and asking to talk to a current or previous intern. She also advised asking that intern

for a second reference to get another point of view. In any situation, you want to make sure that you are looking at it with a grain of salt and considering the pros and

cons of any given opportunity, whether thats an on-campus job or summer sales or a fulltime offer from a large investment banking rm, she said. Students need to realize that its their due diligence to make sure that theyre asking the right questions. Davies said students with questions about any organization can ask University Career Services. BYU communications graduate McKay Coppins doesnt regret working the rst six weeks of a Newsweek internship without pay. His primary interest was nding the best opportunity. He and his wife saved for almost a year to afford to go to New York for the internship experience, and they werent disappointed. Coppins ended up being hired at Newsweek after his internship and received a three-month paid extension, where he worked full time until January when he left to join the online news site BuzzFeed, an opportunity he may not have had if not for his internship. Think of it as a mortgage on your future, Coppins said. It may be tough now, but it pays off in the long run.

Medical degrees pose financial hurdles for students


By JAMIE MORRIS
He went to the hospital every day to interpret and translate for migrant workers and their families. He saw numerous physicians, who had worked hard for their title as a doctor, give freely of their skills to those who couldnt afford them. When Calvin Simmons decided to become a doctor, he knew hed gain the skills and resources necessary to do what he had seen those doctors do countless times as he volunteered. Simmons knew, however, becoming a doctor wouldnt come without a price. After graduating from BYU in 2010 with a bachelors degree in Spanish translation and interpretation, he was one step closer to his goal. Now, after many months of preparing for medical school and being accepted, Simmons is currently in his second year of at the University of Virginia. He is familiar with the preparation for medical school and its nancial hardships. In 2010, there were 367 students at BYU who applied to medical school. Out of those 367, 108 applied to both M.D. and D.O. schools, 216 to only M.D. schools and 43 to D.O. schools. The highest acceptance rate belonged to those who applied to both M.D. and D.O. schools at 70 percent. The overall acceptance rate was 60 percent. There are many pre-med students at BYU preparing for the MCAT and hoping to be a part of the 60 percent who get into medical school. Alexander Nicholson is a senior from Sandy, Ore., majoring in exercise science. Nicholson recently took the MCAT and is preparing to apply to medical school. He said he had many fears heading into the MCAT. The MCAT is not an easy test, Nicholson said. Some sections require you to know a little bit about everything you ever learned in any science class you have ever taken, and other sections require you to be able to extrapolate information and themes from complex stories, abstracts and data tables. If you do poorly on the MCAT you may very well have to change your whole career path. Thats a lot of pressure. Many students have cited other fears associated with medical school including the application process, the fear of not getting in and the financial pressures. Although pressures and fears will likely always be associated with this career path, there are many help meets for students along the way. There are many MCAT materials available for students to purchase to help prepare for the test, including practice exams, classes and practice books. BYU also provides a student development class for pre-med students, which prepares them for the application and interview process, while also teaching information on nances and lifestyles heading into medical school. Matthew Terry, who graduated from BYU in April 2012, has been through the application process and has been accepted to Texas A&M. He said courses, Terry said. When you are doing your applications and going on interviews, you need to really look at your life and gure out what sets you apart. Do practice interviews or at least practice running through potential questions with someone informally. Financing medical school is another fear associated with acceptance. Samuel Dudley, a junior majoring in biochemistry, said he is prepared for the nancial challenges that await him in medical school. I dont think I can stay away from debt, Dudley said. Actually, Im ne with going into debt because its an investment toward my future and I obviously dont have the money now to pay for medical school. Si m mons has lea r ned throughout his years at UVA how to assuage the debt and has advice for prospective students. To someone looking at going to medical school, I would say that you will have to live with sizable debt and you will have to work hard to pay it off, Simmons said. If you are going into medicine just because you think it will make you big bucks, dont do it. Simmons said pre-med students must decide that becoming a doctor is worth all the hard work before going into debt. If you are going into medicine for the right reasons it will be worth it, Simmons said. Im in debt, though not very far yet for now. (My wife and I) feel the weight of it every so often, but it is okay and I still feel like there was no better option for me. Chris Gordon, who graduated from BYU in 2005, will graduate in family medicine in June from a medical school in the Cayman Islands. Gordon encouraged pre-med students to make sure that becoming a doctor is the right route for them. Enter medicine if this is what you really, really want to do, Gordon said. The education and training is a long road and very expensive (but) becoming a doctor is worth it to me. I am doing what I love. Approximately 78 percent of medical school graduates have more than $100,000 in debt. With a frugal mindset and strict budget, medical students on average take from 10 to 28 years to get out of debt, depending on salary and loan amount repaid monthly, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. I think there are a lot of ways you could go that would be intellectually challenging, financially stable, and personally ful lling that are very different from medicine, Simmons said. Even knowing this, I still feel like medicine is the best path for me. I think anyone who is seriously contemplating medicine as a career should spend as much time as they can shadowing or working in the eld so they can make sure medicine has that special something for them.

f you are going into medicine just because you think it will make you big bucks, dont do it.

the relief he felt after being accepted was huge. It is an awesome feeling, Terry said. Before you take the MCAT or get accepted, you have no idea how things are going to work out. It is great to nally be accepted and have the process over with because I know what I am going to be doing a year from now. Terry had a number of suggestions for students preparing for this big transition. Dont waste lots of money on super expensive test prep

Making the most of the Mormon Moment


y last companion in Australia was Elder William Hopoate one of the most famous rugby allstars in Australia. When he turned down millions of dollars to serve a Mormon mission, it went viral. As we served together, I realized his influence did much more than simply touch the people he came in contact with. His good example and selfless sacrifice affected the general publics opinion of the LDS faith. The people in Australia are more receptive to the gospel of Jesus Christ because, for perhaps the first time, they were able to see the Church in an incredibly positive way through the media. Upon my return home three weeks ago, I was excited to see a similar thing happening in America. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints is in the national spotlight for many reasons. F rom David A rchu leta to Jimmer Fredette to Mitt Romney, the Church has definitely been receiving time in the spotlight. This short time has the potential to become a key point in the history of the Church. We as BYU students can be particularly valuable in changing and inf luencing public opinion about the Church. For the most part, those enrolled at this school represent some of the best minds the Church has to offer. We need to participate in this moment because doing so has the power to completely transform the publics perception of The Church of Jesus Christ for the better. As was the case with Elder Hopoate, the Mormon Moment is creating a lot of talk about the Church. Whether or not we support Romney politically, it is nevertheless true his campaign is drawing interest in the Church. Here we have a faithful, active Mormon who could potentially earn one of the most influential positions in the entire world. Questions are being asked, viewpoints are being shared, information is being collected and opinions are being formed, but it

wont last forever. Therefore, it is important we answer questions, share our viewpoints and give accurate information so others may form an honest and positive opinion of our faith. This can have the greatest impact when done online. Consider this: when a curious American types the word Mormon into their browser, what will they find? As BYU students we can do much to help fill the web with uplifting and accurate information. A great place to start is on Mormon.org the official church website created specifically for nonmembers. On the site there are thousands of profiles. Nonmembers can search profiles based on age, ethnicity, location, previous religion and more to find a profile they can connect with. Creating a profile is fast and can be done by going to Mormon.org, clicking on profile at the top left of the screen and following the instructions. Other ideas include sharing a Mormon Message on your Facebook page, inviting others to view Mormon.org and posting uplifting and thoughtful comments in relevant blogs and news articles. Elder Hopoates good example will last for decades. The same can happen for us. We may not see it now, but our combined effort at this time has the power to generate a real change in the face of missionary work worldwide. As people come to understand our beliefs, they will be prepared to follow Jesus Christ. Lets each do our duty to fill the web with wholesome, uplifting information about what it truly means to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ.

The statistics game
In response to Utah senate race draws nationwide attention (5/8), the problem Senator Orrin Hatchs spokesman Evelyn Call alludes to, of the growth of Super Pacs, is the direct result of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform bill Orrin Hatch voted for. Its a bit much to complain about a problem your boss created, but thats true of so much of the Hatch record, from deficits to the nationalization of education policy. Young people should be very aware of the crushing burden of debt foisted on them by the Orrin Hatches of this world and should be looking for alternatives with a proven track record of rationalizing and containing entitlements. Students can easily find Dan Liljenquist: he is everywhere these days. They will have a much harder time finding Senator Hatch to ask him why as he has not solved these problems in 36 years he will suddenly be able to in the next six.

having your organ in someone else is not weird, it is one of the most beautiful forms of service there is. My uncles life was saved five years ago by receiving the heart of some decent person who was registered as a donor, and since then he has adopted his two beautiful children and given them a good life. In one simple act, one person changed at least three lives forever. In my opinion, anyone who isnt a registered organ donor is either incredibly selfish or incredibly lazy. Honestly, organ donation is this simple: when you die you arent using your organs so why not let someone else use them? It is easy to become registered and the effects it can have are incredible. I realize that some are restricted

by medical or strict religious reasons (not including any Mormons), but for everyone else I plead, become a registered organ donor and save a life.

The other day, while studying in the library, I overheard a conversation about organ donation. In it, two of the three participants gave similar reasons as to why they were not donor. First, because its so weird to think of a part of me being in somebody else. Their second reason was they mutually believed to have heard somewhere organ donation was against the gospel. The third individual, who was a registered donor, was unfortunately left unsure. Id like to address the two frankly ridiculous reasons the first two students gave. First, there is no doctrine in the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants or other modern revelations that prohibits, discourages or even hints at blood or organ donation as being unholy in anyway. Anything and anyone saying otherwise is incorrect. Second,

BYU rugby defeats Arkansas State in nothing short of fantastic championship game
By CAMI QUINONES
It was familiar ground for the Cougars. They had been here six times before, but only once had they achieved their goal. The pressure of BYUs winning tradition seemed to be a driving force. At a virtual home game, the Cougars did not disappoint. Thousands of BYU fans gathered at the Rio Tinto stadium in Sandy on Saturday night to witness the BYU Rugby team take the national championship title against Arkansas State. The nal score was 49-42. It was nothing short of fantastic, Head Coach David Smyth said.

TV and film company Nitro Circus breaks out war paint


By JENNIFER GORDON

Dirt. Paintballs. Jeeps and quads. These ingredients equaled one epic weekend and what could be the next big YouTube video. Playing cars with his nephew led Dallin Smith, 26, from Idaho Falls, studying industrial design, to his next big idea a huge game of paintball using jeeps as transportation. Now this wasnt an average game of paintball. It was a war. It consisted of all sorts of vehicles: Jeeps, quads, roadboards, buggies, motorcycles, tro-

phy trucks and paragliders. After Dallin Smith pitched the idea to Devin Graham, the lmmaker of The Worlds Largest Rope Swing, which now has almost 11 million views Graham was on board and so were some Jeeps. In order to make their dream a reality, the group started calling sponsors. Kingman Group donated 60 paintball guns, Nelson Paintball provided 100,000 paintballs and MBS Mt. Board had mountain boarders commit to come to the event.

According to Smith, the only thing holding back himself and other drivers to commit to participating in the event was devaluing their vehicles. The drivers knew their jeeps would get ruined by the paintballs. I had to get past the stigma of getting paint on my jeep, Smith said. The group had originally planned to lm the paintball war at some local sand dunes, but their permit fell See PAINT on Page 8

Luckily, the TV and lm company Nitro Circus had watched the rope swing video and contacted the group, offering their Utah location to lm the event.

The second day however, was complete chaos. The second day was total mayhem, Smith said. Everyone jumped in vehicles and went crazy. It was a once-in-a lifetime opportunity. The group played a variety of games consisting of capture the ag and trying to hit various targets on the vehicles. There was no mercy, said Nellie Mackey, a Wilton, Calif., native and speech pathology major at UVU. Everyone was cool with shooting each other. According to Smith, vehicles were damaged from the paintballs, but there were not any major accidents. Participants wore masks to keep safe and

the drivers were extremely professional and used every safety precaution. I still have battle wounds, but it was de nitely worth it, Mackey said. I was on cloud 1,000 after that day. Tyler Belnap, 25, a recent UVU graduate, explained it was less about the video and more about the experience. How often do you have a professional paraglider, Nitro Circus, a professional mountain board team and a bunch of paintball material, Belnap said. I got to try all these things I dont normally do on a daily basis. It was truly an incredible and amazing experience.

BYU mens soccer eyes national title

By ADAM DURFEE
Cheers from the Stadium at South Field could be heard all over BYUs campus as the mens soccer team concluded its seventh preseason game with a tie against MLS powerhouse, Real Salt Lake Saturday night. The draw left the Cougars undefeated and looking forward to what could be their best season in franchise history. We looked great against Real, BYU forward David Gates said. Weve really come together this year. There is something in this years team that just wasnt there last year. I have full faith and condence we can win the PDL title. Weve worked hard and it will show on the eld. The Cougars kept pace with the professionals from Real through most of the rst half. In the 45th minute, just before the whistle for halftime, RSL starting midelder Will Johnson scored off an assist by teammate Fabian Espindola. Aggressive BYU defenders kept the Salt Lake club out of the net for the

rest of the game. In the closing minutes of the game, the Cougars still needed a goal to avoid their rst loss of the season. In the 88th minute, just two minutes shy of the final whistle, BYU got its goal. Midfielder Dallin Cutler headed a through ball to the left side of the goal and Gates scored to tie the game. That goal didnt just tie the game, it proved BYU could compete with anyone. We stepped up and proved we could compete, Gates said. It was a great game in which we played really well. We got lucky ... but really showed people what kind of team we are. Since joining the Premier Development League in 2003, the BYU Cougars have only been to the playoffs twice and both times found defeat in the rst round. This years team has started off stronger than any previous team. Victories and stalemates against teams of higher caliber than most PDL teams adorn BYUs resume. Im optimistic for sure, BYU Head Coach Chris Watkins said. We have the pieces and the community to get things done this season. Well get results based on how hard we work. The Cougars kicked off the preseason with a 1-1 tie against the University of Denver, then a decisive victory over Colorado Mesa University, 4-1. The team went to Costa Rica for four games where they competed with local professional teams and returned with three wins and a tie. Real Salt Lake was the last test. A 1-1 tie proved this years BYU team is a title contender. BYU has a good, solid team this year, RSL Assistant Coach Jeff Cassar said after Saturdays game. Coach Watkins does a great job keeping the guys organized on the eld. Theyre really hard to break down. The Cougars will take that endorsement into the regular season, which begins May 24. They face the Los Angeles Misioneros at 8 p.m. at the South Field.

BYU rugby beat Arkansas State for its second championship win.

RUGBY
BYU wins national title
Continued from Page 7 Losing just wasnt an option. BYU went undefeated this season en route to a seventh straight championship appearance, showing they are still one of the elite teams in college rugby. The Cougars averaged 65 points per game and hit the century mark twice, defeating their opponents by an average of 50 points per game. Defensively, they held their opponents to 15 points per game. Any mistake you make is times ten against them because they are going to do something incredible with it, Arkansas States Zac Mizell said. Senior prop Mikey Sua was named MVP for his tenacity in Saturdays game. We just tried to position ourselves in places that would keep the momentum going, Sua said. It makes it easy

when there are playmakers everywhere. Senior scrumhalf Shaun Davies scored a total of 24 points in Saturdays game. Davies has been invited to try out for the USA Mens National Rugby team, The Eagles, at the end of the month. It was de nitely an emotional week, Davies said. Coming into this game the seniors knew it was our last game playing for BYU and we just wanted to play our all. Im ecstatic and happy as I can be. The Cougars were off to a slow start, but BYUs captain Ryan Roundys initiative kept the team moving forward to the title. It feels amazing, Roundy said. All the hard work we put in this year paid off and it feels absolutely amazing. After the Cougars were crowned champions they performed the Haka for the Red Wolves in a show of respect. It was incredibly gracious, Arkansas State Head Coach Matt Huckaby said. They are the type of team you want to play in a national championship.

The on diet soda cravings
By MEGAN ADAMS
A 44-ounce soft drink may seem monstrous to many, but for a large selection of people across the United States, it is only the beginning of the diet soda they can drink their way through in the course of a single day. Although many nutritionists and dietitians agree diet soda is just as unhealthy as regular soft drinks, they are commonly marketed to be a healthy alternative to sugary colas, and to many, diet is an alternative they say they cannot live without. Dena Denniston is one such woman. She said she has never enjoyed the taste of either milk or water, and although she will drink water occasionally, her morning routine usually begins by opening a new bottle of soda. She can then easily go through two liters of either Diet Coke or Pepsi in a day. I drink it all the time, Denniston acknowledged. Its pretty much the liquid that I drink. Although common now, diet sodas have not always been fashionable. When No-Cal, the first diet soda was introduced in 1952, it did not gain popularity quickly due to common misconceptions is was made only for diabetics. Throughout the 60s, Coca-Colas sugar-free soda Tab and Sugar Free 7Up helped make diet sodas more mainstream, but it was not until 1982 the most popular diet soda of today, Diet Coke, was released. Today, with almost all sodas having a diet option, their consumption has risen drastically and continues to be on the rise. According to an article from NPR, Americans are consuming 20 percent more diet sodas now than they did 15 years ago. Diet Coke is the second most popular soft drink in the country, directly behind Coca-Cola. Ellen Henstrom, a self-professed diet soda addict who lives in Portland, Ore., said she drinks approximately 90 ounces of diet soda every day and can easily spend up to $20 per week buying it. Her rst preference is always Diet Mountain Dew. However, because it is not as common or always available from soda fountains, she says she will drink Diet Coke if Diet Mountain Dew is unavailable. Henstrom, as a type 1 diabetic, said she knows diet sodas are not necessarily healthy, but prefers See DIET on Page 10

Keeping up with all of the opportunities to eat out while trying to make healthy choices can be difcult as a university student. Dates, hangouts and reunions all seem to revolve around food. However, when selecting healthy choices, many BYU students simply rely on a hunch. I always feel great after eating (at Zupas), so I just assume that its healthy, said Rachel Lang, a BYU student. Others BYU students feel-good favorites include Cafe Rio, Subway, Pita Pit and even Yogurtland. Further exploration of the actual nutritional value of these restaurants and subsequent favorite dishes brings to light reality as opposed to simple perception. Government regulation requires the nutritional information of most restaurants to be available on-site or online. However, these nutrition charts can be difcult to navigate. Often meals are broken up part by part, so the calorie count initially presented is different than the overall calorie count once cheese, dressings and other extras are added on. People will look with satisfaction at a 280 calorie listing for a six-inch turkey breast sub while ignoring the whopping addition of 100 calories from adding just mayonnaise or the southwest chipotle sauce. While calorie counts are See HEALTHY on Page 10

Towers to techies: Five clubs you didnt know about


By laUra SMiTh
From Humor U to Phi Eta Sigma, there are some very popular clubs, but with more than 100 BYUSA and academic clubs on campus, its no surprise these clubs have slipped under the radar. Tall Club A social network for those of us who are above average height and seek an association with others of a greater-than-average height, their description states. The groups Facebook page invites women 510 and men 62 and above to join the club. The Tall Photo illustration by David Bowman & James Gardner Club holds events like the Tall Club clubs, like Tall club, reach out to different Olympics, a social extravaganza types of students. Theres one for everyone. and other activities. More information is found at [email protected]. Indian Student Association The club has a dual purpose of informing the BYU community about Indian culture and helping new students from India adjust to life at BYU. Utkarsh Mahajan, an information systems major from Chandigrah, India and current club president, said he saw a need for it on campus and thought students would be open to it. I thought people are cultured here, or they are more into culture since they have been to so many different countries, Mahajan said. He said past events have drawn 300 to 400 people. The Festival of Lights event drew a large crowd with dance performances and Indian food. Find more about ISA via [email protected] Doctor Who Club Doctor Who Club is dedicated to the British science fiction television series, Doctor Who. Andrew Bozica, a landscape management major, is the current president and said about 15 to 20 people participate in their weekly meetings in the JKB. Fall-Winter we meet once a week and we just watch [Doctor Who], Bozica said. They also have Doctor Who parties several times during the semester. Get involved by joining their Facebook group. CocoaHeads This clubs unique name comes from Apples Cocoa frameworks, a developer used to create Mac apps. CocoaHeads lists their three main goals as learning more about Mac and iPhone programming, creating a network for developers to talk and demonstrating the interest students have in Mac development. CocoaHeads can be reached at [email protected]. VGAMES President of Video Games Are My Entertainment, Joshua Matern, a mathematics and physics double major from Highland, founded this club in 2010 when he decided he wanted to combine his enjoyment of video games and socializing. I found out that there wasnt an organization on campus like this, so I started one, Matern said. This past year they met weekly in the Crabtree building to play video games and to socialize about their common interests in video games. VGAMES can be reached at [email protected].

Singing to the tune of Spotify: making music more accessible, even free, to the masses

Its been almost a year since Swedish music streaming service, Spotify, announced its U.S. debut and, according to Rolling Stone, there pps of are now over the eek 3 million paid Digital tools anD toys subscribers. Besides its free plan, Spotify offers unlimited plans, which stream music without ads, and premium plans, allowing users to listen to music on laptops and mobile devices on and offline. Alexi Trottier, a senior from Fairfield, Calif., and a recreation management major, listens to Spotify while at work and school. She said there is a lot to love, including the layout, ability to create and share playlists, connection to Facebook and artist recommendations. I love the vast array of

genres and artists available to enjoy, Trottier said. Ive found a goldmine of artists on Spotify. Not only can Spotify users find a wide variety of artists to listen to, many artists have increased their fan bases by joining the service. J. Daniel Rollins, owner of Hillbilly Hipster Management, works with The Boatmen, an Americana soulgrass band from West Virginia. He said Spotify has helped in many ways, including increasing fans on Facebook and Twitter. Spotify has really helped (The Boatmen) as an independent band, Rollins said. Its built up their fanbase around the country in ways that wouldnt have been possible years ago. However, being on Spotify isnt a replacement for marketing. Briana McCurdy, a BYU

music graduate, said that being on Spotify alone hasnt increased the exposure of her CD, Passing By Love. She receives half a penny for every play she receives on Spotify. That is actually a disadvantage because people dont buy the CD, McCurdy said. Elliot Watkins, a junior at the University of Missouri, said Spotify and other apps arent changing the music scene, but they are following trends. An economics major, Watkins said its becoming natural to cut out the record company as the middle man between musicians and listeners. (Some) are winning and some are losing, he said. Thats the direction the free market is going on its own. Whether youre new to Spotify or a veteran user, here are some apps that will make your tunes sound even better:

TuneWiki: This app provides lyrics for the current song, even syncing itself to scroll in time with the beat. Last.fm: Many people have linked their Spotify accounts to Facebook, but this social media app builds custom playlists based on what you listen to. It also lets you view other users playlists and provides suggestions for artists you might enjoy. Shazam and Soundhound: Have a tune stuck in your head but dont know the title or artist? Both apps have the ability to listen to a 30 second clip of a song, returning the title, artist and album name. Although many say Shazam is more accurate, Soundhound provides additional artist information, such as other albums and current tour dates. All apps are available for Apple and Android.
