The eagle has been ill and will be sidelined until healed. Veterinarians have been testing the eagle to determine her illness, but they have been unable to find the problem. The24-year-old bird has been arthritic and having trouble flying. She has been the football team's mascot for the past two years. Bingo Battle A group of senior Bingo enthusiasts in Stoughton, Massachssettes, have begun their own game, their own way, at their own place. Apparently, the group of seniors were upset with the director at their senior center who made new rules that included not being allowed to arrive more than half an hour early, no saving seats, and no aggressive behavior. The director, Christine Quinn, said the situation was "potentially unsafe" because she had been , pushed and poked by seniors. Woman Goes on Strike Kathy Thompson, who lives in Albany, Indiana, went on strike from her husband. She said she is tired of going to work, school, and of taking care of the house without any thanks. She began her strike while her husband was off on a fishing trip. She said his fishing wasn't the only thing that instigated the strike, but she was at home alone when someone tried to break into the house. She said she will end the strike when her husband thanks her for her work and shows some appreciation.Jewel Thief Uses Vacuum At the present, no one has been arrested for the robbery of Lykke's Gold and Silver store in Copenhagen, Denmark. A jewel thief cut a small hole in the window of the store and used a vacuum hose to suck items out of a jewelry case. The thief got away with $12,800 worth of jewelry. Police found the vacuum abandoned by the shop. They figured he used a power socket at a nearby constructions site to power the vacuum. The owner, Kristen Lykke Sailing, didn't find out until the next day. She said "It was terrible, but at the same time funny because who would have thought of doing it that way?" r Amy Williams, one of the many hardworking students at the Center tor Student success goes over some last minute details tor an upcoming project.

UVSC starts new pilot program Y By Amber Jlinson and Emma orlon Nflfcscs VeiWews STAFF A new pilot project this semester at UVSC is helping struggling students raise their grades. The center for Student Success is cooperating with Academic Advisement to create a mentoring program that, it is hoped, will put students who are having problems in their college courses get on the track to success. Dr. Elaine Byrd, Executive Director of the Center for student Success said in a written statement, "We want UVSC students to know the administration, faculty and staff are here to help them meet or exceed their educational goals. We champion the human spirit and believe that our students are capable of excelling in the academically rigorous curricula that are offered here at UVSC." Two Students have been hired to begin the program as mentors. They were given tuition scholarships in exchange for ten hours per week of work in the program. The mentors work with the students in the programs to help them raise their class grades. Paula Tibbits from the Academic Advisement Center said, " Mentors work with them to give them the help they need. They are not really considered tutors. They are a support system." The support mentors give includes helping the struggling students to develop better study habits, to follow through on assignment, they help them deal with test anxiety, help them speak to teachers about problems they are having in class and they may even be able to help them procure financial aid so they can remain in school. When choosing mentors there were certain requirements set. The mentors had to have a G PA of 3.0 or more and they had to have completed the student success class "Pilot program" continued on pg. 3 Ptiola by Courtney Echols Miles and Mary Morries Donate I million dollars to UVSC Press Release l iTO WIS (1UIIE WEB A.D 0 THE Tl'BE Don't forget, you can see NetXNews broadcast daily on the campus montiors every hour on the hour.

After 43 years in business, Miles and Mary Morris recognize the great importance of community support. With recent sale of the property that has been home to the family owned and operated Morris Motors, the Morrises have decided to make a $1 million cash donation to Utah Valley State College's school of business and automotive technology department. "The community has supported us all these years .and now we can afford to put something back," said Miles. "Our hope with this donation is to further the education of a great number of students in the fast-paced areas of business and automotive technology. We want to give youth an opportunity to go on to bigger and better things." Mary, a member of the advisory council for the school of business, and Miles acknowledge that UVSC will provide the biggest "bang'Tor their contribution. The major portion of the funds will provide endowment funds to bridge the gap between ever increasing demands of academic excellence and decreasing legislative funding. "Establishing endowment and scholarship funds gives us much pleasure. It will last forever," said Mary. ! "The Morris family has built a legend in local business, and now through their generosity they have established a legacy for higher business education," said James Fenton, dean of the UVSC School of Business. "The Morrises success in their business and the values they exhibited in doing business would make an excellent case study for our faculty to employ in the classroom. They are role models for how to do business the right and principled way." The Morris Motors 500 West Provo location was originally a gas station with service bays in the back and a small showroom in front. A relationship with UVSC started several years ago with Miles serving in an advisory capacity for the automotive department. It continued when Mary received what she thought to be a "You may have won" letter from Readers Digest. Upon further review, the word "may" was missing. Mary had won a $15,000 drawing from Readers Digest. Miles suggested establishing a scholarship, something that would last over the years. The Allen Daryl Morris and Michael John Murphy Memorial Endowed Scholarship, named for two grandsons, was set up in 1997. The Morrises believe education is the key to future successes.

However, transit officials say they are studying options and are not ready to say they will, in fact, allow the guards to carry guns. "There's no reason to rush into the issue of arming," UTA general manager John Inglish said after a board of trustees meeting Monday. Five of 13 board members voted for a police amendment that would have prohibited Inglish from allowing UTA security officers to carry guns. Liane Stillman is concerned UTA is getting more into law enforcement and less into providing transit. "We are deterring from our role," she said. "I really think this is the wrong direction for our agency." If Inglish decides to arm the UTA officers, the guards would be required to complete 16 hours of training toward a firearm certification. That's along with the 228 hours of study through Police Officers Standards and Training, which certifies law enforcement officers in Utah. To comment on this article email: netxnevvsnetxnews.net
