The ballet featured Rachelle Jardine as Cinderella in her first principal role, with special guest Christopher Young as the prince. Under the direction of Heather Gray, other performers included Utah Regional Ballet II students composing the corps de ballet. Every student enrolled with Jacqueline's school of ballet, under the direction of Brittnee Squires, was incorporated into the production, making this fairy- "'We are thrilled to be the first full-length production at Provo Center for the Arts'" tale ballet one of a kind.

Since the UVSC bookstore is not opened on Saturdays during the summer, Harry Potter fans had to go to other places such as Barnes and Noble, Borders and F.Y.E. to receive their books. Travis Stewart, an employee at the UVSC bookstore attended the midnight party at F.Y.E. "It was good. There were a lot of people in costume. It was fun." People were excited about the book because it answered the big question of whether Harry dies or survives. Many readers quickly finished the book just to know the answer. Stewart finished the book and said he liked it, "I thought it was J.K. Rowling's best one." Online polls show that most people liked the book. The Leaky Cauldron, a Harry Potter fan site, had a poll that showed 80 percent like the book while 15 percent did not. The book is consid- NETXNEWS.NET ( i .... , Y I -"i J. V V .. ). UVSC employee loses son in Iraq Recent death ofSgt. Nathan Barnes strikes close to UVSC community Robert Hayden News writer As shots rang out from insurgents below, the helicopter maneuvered lower to the ground, attempting to land. Once down, soldiers onboard began pouring out towards the nearby gunshots. It's then that Sgt. Nathan Barnes was struck; he suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the neck before making it out the door. Jay Barnes retold these still-new details of his brother's final moments to Jeremy Duda, a Daily Herald reporter, on Jul. 18, one day after Nathan's death. Nathan, a 23 year-old American Fork native, enlisted in the Army at the age of 19 and was deployed to Iraq in August 2006 with the 10th Mountain Division. According to Erin Stewart of Deseret News, the Barnes family was ex pecting Nathan home around Christmas after a 90-day extension in Iraq. The death of. Nathan Barnes strikes especially close to home for the UVSC community. Donna Barnes, Nathan's mother, has been a UVSC employee since 1998 and currently works as the Herbarium Curator in the biology department. "I didn't ever meet Nathan Barnes, so I know him only through his mother, Donna," said Jim Harris, a co-worker of Donna Barnes. "Now and then we talk a bit about our respective families and the joys and frustrations of being a parent to adult children who are free to make their own choices whether or not we happen to agree with them. "On the occasions when she talked of her son, Nathan, my impression was that, like any mother, she was concerned about his safety, but at the same time she was proud of him for making big decisions in his life and taking on adult responsibilities. It was clear that she loved him dearly." The Barnes family told Erin Stewart that they would most remember Nathan for his love of children. He often talked of missing his 11 nieces and nephews and would write about his past experiences with the children while serving in Iraq. Nathan's body arrived at Salt Lake City Airport the morning of Wednesday, Jul. 25. Shortly afterwards, local police and Patriot Guard Riders escorted him and his family to a funeral home in Lehi. The family asks any donations to be made to a fund set up at Zions Bank under Nathan's name. According to Jeremy Duda, the proceeds will go to several of Nathan's favorite charities, including one that funds medical care for injured soldiers and another that provides measles vaccinations to underprivileged children. Automotive department hosts Japanese students 1 1 t Y, 1 -i T -f , - v.- ' V ' Y 4 ... . . w b . . . J. i r. ' t 1 1 Justin Bitter News writer Nearly 50 Japanese exchange students graduated from UVSC's automotive technology department on Thursday Jul. 19. The 49 students, from Saitama Technical College, completed a nine-day, hands-on automotive course. They received instruction in airbrush painting, welding, panel fabrication, chasses, diesel and brakes. "This is a cultural experience for them," said Department Chair Don Wilson, in a UVSC press release. "Plus they get an opportunity to do things they never would in Japan, like working with hydraulics and big diesel trucks." Automotive office ad ministrator Katreena Davis said that as part of their diesel training, the students rode down the interstate in a diesel truck to get a feel for the size and handling of the vehicle. And, she added, as diesel trucks are uncommon in Japan, "It is sort of a joy ride." While in the United States, the exchange students also toured San Francisco, This is the Place Monument, Arches National Park and Las Vegas. UVSC dining services treated them to an American barbecue at the end of their stay. UVSC has offered the exchange student automotive course for the past seven years. Saitama Technical College-one of UVSC's sister schools has participated in the program since 2003. VOLUME XXXVI NO. 22 High school students at UVSC Christine Shell News writer This week, Utah Valley State College will invite high school students to get an advanced start on their college coursework. '"Concurrent enrollment gives high school students a head start on their college experience'" UVSC concurrent enrollment will hold an open house in the Grand Ballroom Aug. 1-2 from 6 to 8 p.m. for high school students interested in learning more about the program. "Concurrent enrollment gives high school students a head start on their college experience," said Spencer Childs, manager of enrollment for the program. "It introduces them to college course work before they actually come onto campus." The concurrent enrollment program is a joint venture between UVSC and area high schools. It allows an opportunity for high school seniors to earn credit for high school and UVSC courses simultaneously. For most courses, students must have a 3.0 GPA, with several courses allowing a 2.0 GPA. UVSC-approved high school instructors teach the courses, and there are no tuition charges to students. Credits are transferable to state colleges throughout Utah, BYU and some private and out-of-state institutions. Students also gain access to the UVSC labs, library and athletic facilities, as well as receiving discounted admissions to school activities. "The open house, targeted toward high school juniors and seniors and their parents, will have information booths from high school representatives, concurrent enrollment, distance education, UVSC academic departments and UVSC student services," stated a press release from college marketing. "There will also be a chance foronsite admissions and registration for concurrent enrollment and distance education courses in the computer loft, SC 215." f For More Information Visit: www.uvsc.educonted concurr Call: 1 (801)863-8376 V ) ;j coHcunre Steven Stone UVSC Japanese auto students -1- i See HARRY POTTER - A2
