Meeting Concerning Iraq The U.N. held a meeting last Wednesday to discuss whether disarming Iraq is a possibility. President Bush stated in the meeting that he wanted "to make sure that they are able to carry out whatever the ultimate decision of the U.N. is." The leaders of the United States believe that Iraq has access to chemical and biological weapons. Bush has warned that if the U.N. does not try to disarm Iraq, then the United States will. National Health Care Improvements Congress has asked that health institutes review their health quality efforts of Medicare, Medicaid, Defenses Department TRICARE, and other programs because of the wake of medical errors throughout the country. It has been concluded that agencies are redesigning their programs to improve health care quality. Local Amber Alert Bill A bill that would putt an Amber Alert system in every state is being review in Congress. On Elizabeth Smart's birthday, October 29, d Smart stated that "there are 24 states without Amber Alerts, we are pleading with Senate and Congress to get this taken care of by the end of the year." If the bill is passed, $25 million will be spent to place Amber Alert system in the remaining 24 states, and to activate a national network system. DeShawn Stevenson to ' Start for Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan stated last Tuesday that Stevenson will be the "starting shooting guard" at the opening of the basketball season. Sloan stated, "I've always taken a young player and given them an opportunity to advance and see if they can get better." Stevenson stated that he isn't celebrating yet, because he knows he will still need to prove himself in order to keep the starting position. f i , .i.u:,;si;T!!i; vi:n u uv t::t ti i:k Don't forget, you can see NetXNews broadcast daily on the campus montiors every hour on the hour.

The Service-Learning Distinction offers a variety of benefits to volunteers who would otherwise go unnoticed. Participants will receive a plethora of rewards for their time: an awards banquet to honor the students, a special cord to wear on their graduation robe, a certificate of achievement, and the privilege of marching at commencement with students from the College Honor program. Besides the formal rewards, there are many other reasons to be involved. In-class learning, paired with hands-on experience can enrich learning for the student body. "One of the most influential, educational changes of the last decade has been the idea of combining classroom theory with the practice of service experiences," said Vice President Brad Winn. "You really bond with people when you're doing service," said UVSC student Craig Neilson. "People who have ideas for service projects, but need help, can get it from the Service Committee," said Craig. The Service Committee is a branch of Student Government, represented by Director of Service Cherryl Hone, on the Student Council. Right now, there are hundreds of opportunities to volunteer in Utah County. The Center for Service and Learning has binders filled with descriptions of service projects. To become involved in the distinction program, "the first step would be setting up an appointment to talk to me," said Rachel Bryson. Participants will need to complete 150 hours of community service for a 2-year degree, or 300 for a 4-year. Service requirements can be completed a few hours at a time throughout college or done with a few large service projects. Service Expeditions are an easy way to complete the required hours of service. Over Fall Break, for example, many students went to Mexico for five days to do water projects, trail building or other types of service. The next opportunity will be during Spring Break when students will build trails at Zion National Park. For a 2-year degree, 5 credit hours of Service-Learning classes must be obtained; students on a "Service" continued on pg. 3 UVSC Greens On the Scene Bush, Republicans trying to break midterm congressional elections Ii v Eric Palmalier VetWews STIFF The Greens have been very active at UVSC this fall semester. Partially because of current political debate about the proposed war on Iraq, but also because the Green Party is experiencing increased activity on campuses all across the nation. Students may have noticed members of the UVSC Greens around campus, supporting the peace rally on October 9' or attending the recent visit by Ralph Nader, one of the Green Party's most notable members. All the activity has left some students wondering who the Greens are. "This state has a lot of Republicans," says John Bingham, an engineering student. "I wasn't even aware the Green Party had a presence at UVSC, let alone the state. Lately I've been hearing more and more about them." The Green Party is a national political organization that acts on the behalf of an association of state and local level Green-affiliated parties. There are thousands of Green organizations on college campuses, in cities and states, and around the world. UVSC students and faculty recently formed the UVSC Greens to address the issues they feel are being ignored. They will be working locally to change the political scene and share their ideals with residents. Among the issues the party fights for, grassroots democracy, good economics, and the environment are some of their main focuses. In addition to protesting the war in Iraq, the UVSC Greens are working to inform students of what they feel are problems with the corporate system. "Through control of the media and the "Green" continued on pg. 4 Hi llai id Espo Issorialpfl Press WASHINGTON (AP) Four years ago, Bill Clinton and the Democrats defied history and gained House seats in midterm elections. Now it's time for George W. Bush and the Republicans to try. Whatever their success, the midterm curse that afflicted both political parties over the past century is waning, weakened this year by congressional redistricting that accounts for population shifts, as well as the terrorist attacks and even Bush's no-coattails victory of 2000. "We haven't beaten the curse yet," said Rep. Tom Davis, the Virginia Republican in charge of the House Republican campaign committee. "I remember working in the Nixon White House in the 1970s thinking we might pick up a handful of seats." It didn't happen. But whether the Republican Party wins or lose seats Tuesday or holds or surrenders control of the House not even the most partisan Democrat is forecasting a midterm swing that approaches the 30-seat average of the past century. Over that period, the only times the party in the White House gained House seats were 1902; Franklin Roosevelt's first midterm in 1934; and 1998, when voters rejected Republican efforts to turn the elections into a referendum on impeachment proceedings against Clinton. The party in power has suffered in the Senate, as well, but not as severely or as often. There, the average loss is four seats, and the potential for a large shift is diminished because only one-third of the seats are on the ballot at a time. The party in power has gained Senate seats seven times at midterm since 1902. "From a historical perspective, the parties are much more at parity than they have been for some time. You have roughly a 50-50 country in which large swings are less likely," said Howard Wolfson, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign "Bush" continued on pg. 3
