NetXNews, the student media program here at UVSC, debuted their first live sports broadcast of the men's basketball game on Jan. 8. It aired on Channel 3 in Orem and channel 41 in Provo. UVSC is the only all student produced live sports broadcast in Utah, and possibly in the nation. "This is a pretty exciting development we have going on here," said David Noriega, Executive News Manager of NetXNews and one of the key people behind the project. "We have been trying to give this some momentum for a while now, and the fact that is finally moving forward is fabulous," he said. A live sports broadcast is a daunting task. The weekly UVX News broadcast generally requires aboutis people, NetXNews pulled off the new project with a mere 25 person crew. "The idea of having a separate divi-son for sports had been in my head for quite some time," said Noriega. "It wasn't until we (the NetXNews staff) went to Atlanta last Octolx;r that we began discussing it as a real possibility." Grant Flygare, Student Media advisor and Philosophy professor, was likewise confident in the potential growth of a NetXNews sports division. "This is so exciting," he said. "It's amazing the amount of talent we have working on our side," he said. UVSC President Kerry Romesburg was ecstatic over the broadcast saying he was very impressed with the whole production. "I think it was great," said Romesburg. "It was one of those moments when you just smile for a long time," he said. Even with the approval of Romesburg, Noriega and fellow coworkers Jason Erikson, Clint Burgi, Taylor Sinquefield and Brady Cullimore had their work cut out for them. "We found out four days before the actual event that we were going to cover the game," said Erikson, who was the courtside reporter for last Saturday's game. "We had to start from scratch to somehow produce the show." Statistics had to be gathered and graphics had to be made. "We had to know the men's basketball team like the back of our hand," said Burgi, who co-anchored the game with Noriega. The next game to be broadcast will be February 19, when the Wolverines face off against Dixie. "Thankfully, we have more time to prepare for our next broadcast," said Noriega. 'Tilings ran so smoothly on our first outing, I am excited to see what we can do next time." NetXNews is planning to branch out in the coming months and is currently looking for students who would like to join the NetXNews staff. "Things are expanding," said Ifygare. "We're going to need all the help we can get." m fefflTs yiy! il Bui'djUi 111? quenches fre engulfing Bhic'al debate Faculty Senate President Elect Dr. Ron Hammond is supported by his collegues in impeachment proceedings held Tuesday, Jan. 1 1 . The motion to impeach was denied by a vote of 20-1 6, with fourobstentions. U Danielle Wliile & Yi il" Stacy I:mmons After months of heated debate and festering conflicts that have besieged the UVSC Faculty Senate, Dr. Ron I lammond breathed a sigh of relief when a motion for his impeachment was dismissed which convened Tuesday Jan. 11. In Octolx-r of last year, Hammond, Associate Professor of Sociology and Faculty Senate President-Elect, conducted an informal surv ey of his students in regards to the Ethics and Values course and its place in UVSC core curriculum. I lammond then emailed the results to every faculty member stating he believed that his Hidings were essentially positive. According to I lammond, he ox?ned the floor for in-class discussion due to his concerns about the course. I lis solititudes were sparked by a Faculty Senate debate over the Mission Statement changes made by the administration without utilizing the pmjx'r channels. 'The Ethics Department (I Iumanitics and Philosophy Department) has an overall reputation of being anti-Mormon and as a concerned faculty member that prompted me to have an in-class discusson," said Hammond. On Oct. 26, Faculty Senate members disputed over the addition of "Etiucs across all disciplines" and the fact that no vote was made on whether or not to approve or reject such an ammendment. "I was thinking 'How dare you change the Mission Statement.' It was unprecedented for Lucille (Stoddard) and Kerry (Romesburg) to do that," he said. Hammond concurred that the mission statement debate led the Faculty Senate into an overall discussion about the Etlucs course. 'The problem was that the people who were involved with the changes to the Mission Statement were not there (at the meeting) but people See Hammond CONTINUED on pg. 7 WEEKEND WEATHER 51 33 46 IIIGH LOW HIGH Friday I'iirlly cloudy, bul It's a w;irm one mil llicrr, ditch Ihc luckitl. 28 LOW Saturday A beautiful Saturday to wash yiiur car.
