By Kelsey Haddow OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF "I'm blue." Really, I am totally yellow." These terms may be unfamiliar to some, but for those in the Reagan Theatre on Wednesday these terms describe some of the types of person ality that each one of us has, according to the color code. Dr. Taylor Hartman, author of The Color Code, spoke to UVSC students about building character and leading successful lives. "Successful lives are spent matching who you really are with what you want to become," stated Hartman. Hartman was inspired to write a book on his color code system when he opened up his first practice in Huntington, California. Clients would come to him with questions and problems, for which he didn't feel he had answers. Dr. ) - Hartman realized that it didn't matter what color, race, or sex they were. What mattered was what color their personality was and what behavior group they were most drawn to. Dr. Hartman wanted others to see the motives behind their behavior and how they can adapt that behavior to lead successful lives. There are four different colors that are recognized in Dr. Hartman's color code test: Red, Blue, White, and Yellow. Reds are power hungry, they get things done, but will step on anyone that gets in the way. Blues crave intimacy, and need to feel cared for, and tend to whine daily. Whites are peaceful, and flow through life, but they are also prone to stay in bad situa- tions for long periods of time. P v.. 1 1 c J iciiuvvs die caitucc anu adventurers but tend to be self ish and irresponsible. Everything that goes around comes around," was one of the points that Dr. Hartman stressed. If a person is in a bad rela- 1 T- TV - I T r V 1 V m Red tionship it is because they chose that relationship. This also works for healthy relationships.Dr. Hartman told the story of a man who was extremely boring, but in a rela tionship with an exciting and carefree woman. Ready to terminate the relationship, the man came to Dr. Hartman, who encouraged him to stay in the relationship, because of the fact that this woman brought the excitement into his life that he was missing and they were mutually good for each other. The couple continued the relationship and later married. According to Dr. Hartman, once a person finds out their color they need to learn how to interact with other colors so that they can remain balanced. When Dr. Hartman first developed the color code system he discovered he did not get along with Reds, but this was no fault of theirs; it was Dr. Hartman who-needed to adjust his behavior. Now Reds are the color he gets along best with. Dr. Hartman also focused on charac ter. He stressed the t that "You are own hero." He told the story of Madison McAllister, who as a young girl was abused by her father and rejected by her mother. Dr. Hartman came in to contact with Madison and through her determination and Dr. Hartman's guidance Madison has become an amazing woman who is getting her master's degree to become a therapist. Madison sang the song "There's a Hero" to help illustrate to the audience that any one of them could lift themselves up out of any situa- "Coior code" continued on pg. 4 KELSET HADDOW NETXNEWS mmm fife TIig national Guard is called to liolp during Olympics By Associated Press AP Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A scientist whose company announced the first cloning of a human embryo says that if he had 200 to 300 human eggs to work with, he would have a 90 percent chance of creating a colony of stem cells that might fight human disease. "Human eggs are very precious and hard to come by," said Dr. Jose Cibelli, vice president of research at Advanced Cell Technology. The Worcester, Massachusetts, company announced Sunday that it had succeeded in cloning a human embryo for the first time, growing it to six cells before it quit developing. The company's ulti mate goal is to cull stem cells from a cloned embryo, master cells that could then be grown into custom medical treatments for patients but this first embryo was too small to generate stem cells. "These are baby steps, but they are steps in the right direction," Cibelli said on Tuesday. However, the disclosure prompted denunciations from right-to-life groups and a call by President George W. Bush for a ban on cloning. Tuesday, Sen. Sam Brownback tried to bring up on the Senate floor a bill that outlawed cloning, but Senate Democrats objected. "While we don't deal with this issue, cloning is going on," said Brownback. He plans to still try to negotiate a temporary ban until the Senate can debate the issue in the spring. "The prudent position for us to take right now would be to put a pause on all cloning while we debate this." Cibelli said he didn't expect the strong response and speculated that the president was caught unaware. "I hope eventually he'll be able to understand," Cibelli said in an interview. He said the process of developing a human clone was much harder than with animals because of the scarcity of human eggs. "It took us a year to get 17," he said. "With cows we get 400 a day." In developing the human courtesy photo done, the researchers started Scientists continue to develop the process with a donated female egg cell. Of Cloning human cells. They removed its nucleus and replaced it with a cumulus cell, complete with its genetic DNA. Cumulus cells normally help nurture eggs as they develop. Such a technique could only yield replacement cells for women of childbearing age. But the researchers have also experimented with injecting cells with DNA from skin cells. "What is happening in these eggs is magical," Cibelli said. If his researchers could get 200 to 300 human eggs to experiment with, there would be a 90 per- y.

The Guard troops will have three main missions: screening vehicles and visitors at Olympic venues, standing perimeter guard duty at the venues and providing a rapid deployment force in the event of a crisis.

By the Associated Press AP Writer SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Some 1,900 Utah National Guard members will be activated to help with security at the Winter Olympics, the largest guard deployment in the state's history. Other Utah Guard members already have been activated for airport security and counterter-rorism missions. The guard members activated by Gov. Mike Leavitt on Tuesday will suit up in January. America's states maintain national guard reserves, soldiers and fliers who train part-time and are ready to be activated in emergencies, such as natural disasters, or to back up the U.S. military during a major mobilization. By the time the games arrive, virtually every Guard member will be on duty, said Maj. Gen. Brian Tarbet, commander of the Guard. He said the Utah Guard will get assistance from 1,200 Guard members from 13 states.

Here, at Utah Valley State College. Now all students have the opportunity to learn about the cutting edge entertainment technology that can lead to a new career, or hobby as an entertainment writer, in just one class! I his January, UVSC will offer writing for television and screen workshop for the third semester. I his upper-level course, is part of the innovative Multimedia Department, but any student may sign up for it as an upper-level elective. It is a three-credit course with no prc-rcqmsitcs required. This class will be taught in a workshop style where students will work on their own projects under the tutelage of industry professional, Alex Nibley, who studied under I rank Daniel at the University of California, I.os Angeles. Mr. Nibley has been working as a writer and an actor in the entertainment industry for many years. The class will meet at the same time as the directing workshop students. Dennis I.isonbee, a Multimedia professor says about the class, "On special days we will be meeting together to study the story structure of certain cutting edge feature films. Writers will be able to team up with students from the directing workshop and have their scenes put on in class." In addition tohigh-powered computet s, students will have access to digital video cameras, sophisticated non-linear video editing systems, and the largest operating television studio in the state. The workshop class will focus on teaching the craft of the business. The reason for this writing class is to teach how to write for cutting edge technology. Mr. Nibley will help students improve their writing skills, perfect story structure, industry formatting, and mastering rewriting techniques. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to complete projects that are of a professional level. Students w ho took this workshop last fall were able to create a twenty-minute cutting edge animated film that is currently being distributed by Covenant Communications w ith the help of this course. " This is the best animated film that I've ever seen from a group of students," said Lisonbee, the previous course instructor. The Directing workshop class is also searching for students who have experience with either the Multimedia Department, or theater and want to expand their horizons. Both classes are under the same call number in the catalog, MCT 355R and will meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 3 to 4:50 p.m. This type of multimedia program is only available at four other colleges in the United States. This class was designed to educate students w ho want to learn how to work with the newest entertainment technology available and network w ith the best up-and-coming screen w riters and directors Utah Valley has to oiler. 1
