It is not certain whether the particle is the cause of schizophrenia or if it is caused schizophrenia.Pakistan Wants Prisoners Released The Pakistani government is urging the United States government to release 55 of the 58 Pakistanis imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba because the Pakistani government believes they have no ties to al-Qaida an official said Saturday. Most of the Pakistanis held by the U.S. in Cuba were handed over to U.S. officials by leaders of Afghanistan's northern alliance who were rewarded with money by the U.S. in exchange for alleged commanders and soldiers jn Osama bin Laden's forces, intelligence officials here say. Planned Parenthood Fighting for Privacy The Storm Lake, Iowa county attorney has subpoenaed the names of hundreds of women who had pregnancy tests at a local Planned Parenthood Clinic.

"Hold on to your TV" Markham Hyde takes a stretch after over seven hours of standing in the same place. A few of the rules included: ; Entire hand must be on the teievision at aii tunes No electronic devices may be used (nope, not even your beloved cell phone) No substitutions No bathroom breaks ( don't even think about going on the spot) No diapers & no urinating in cups!

It was Daniel Midgley who cramped and fell after half an hour in this position. Asaconsolation he took home bigscreens little brothera 19" Panasonic. Not bad for "a days work." By Emma Norton OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF One of the reasons Richard Smith chose to come to UVSC rather than BYU when he decided to return to college is UVSC's ability to give students a wide range of perspectives during their education that he wasn't sure he would get at BYU. Smith said that at UVSC he can "get the same information that I can get at BYU but with a broader outlook."When he returned from his LDS mission Smith got married and he has been working to support a family ever since. He was motivated to come back to school and pursue a degree. After experiencing the job market Smith said, "I felt like I needed more education for a better job, I just wanted to do more and make enough money." At UVSC there are students in their 30's, 40's and even 50's and 60's. Angie Campbell is one of them. When Campbell's two daughters were in high school she realized it wouldn't be long before they were ready to leave the nest. Campbell decided that she needed to do something for herself now that her children were nearly gone. She enrolled at UVSC. For Campbell, finding her way around school again was not an easy task. She said, "I found out one thing at a'time and it was frustrating." After settling in to UVSC Campbell got the idea to start a club for students like herself, the people she calls non-traditional students. She wanted to help older people returning to school, learn the ropes and feel like they had peers to support them. Campbell said, "I didn't want people to go through the stress. I wanted to make it easier for them to concentrate on their studies." The club will be called The Non-Traditional Students Club. It is intended to reach out to all students . but it will focus on the needs of the person returning to school after a long period out of school. Campbell hopes that the club will help to reinforce people returning to school, to show them that returning is worthwhile and that they have a place at UVSC. There will be club sponsored activities to bring students and their families together so that students with children of varying ages can have an extended social group and so they don't feel isolated in a sea of 18-year -olds. The club will hold meetings at which there will be motivational speakers, Campbell said. The club would be a resource to new students who need help learning the ropes. It may do campus tours, create maps and help to decipher UVSC lingo - just what "Club" continued on page 3 n By Eric Palmaticr OF THE STTXNI WS STATE Students don't like the words tuition increase" very much. Often, they are followed by a lot of discussion and complaining about the school or the government not doing all they can to prevent the need for increases. They think money is just going down the drain. What most students don't know is that there is quite a lot of money going to the drains. UVSC pays around $5,300 per month in operational costs to handle drain water. A lanie amount goes to the city of Orem, which charges a set rate per month based on the amount of impervious surfaces on a property, such as roads, park ing lots, and sidewalks. UVSC pays a lot of money in more than just city fees. There are also grounds crews who clean and maintain areas of the campus that effects water runoff. Employees in all departments help reduce the amount of chemicals that may make their way into the street drains. Employees in the mechanical and automotive areas work to ! i The ponds on the west side of campus play an important role ir UVSC'scampuswatersystem wateraeration,filteringandground keep oils and gas from getting into the drains. All of these programs cost money, which, as is the case in all colleges, goes into the operational costs of UVSC. The operational costs are part of what tuition is intended to pay for. When operational costs go up, the college looks at ways to save before they look at a tuition increase. The water that runs down the storm drain is not cleaned or filtered before it makes its way to the Provo River, Utah Lake, or the groundwater system. Since drain water is totally separate from sewage, the water may have some contaminates, but is not unusable. According to Joe Marrott, UVSC Director of Risk Management, Health and Safety and Steve Johnson, a representative of the city of "Funds" continued on page 3 Jt i.

Japanese students improve stalls at UVSC By Jac Contcrio and Craig Niclson OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF UVSC students can expect to see an increasing number of international students on campus. The Department of International Studies says that 650 international students are enrolled this semester. UVSC's international population comes primarily from Japan, from China, from Mexico and dozens of other countries. According to Rapten Chazotsang, assistant Director at UVSC's Center for International Studies, in addition to Utah's low cost of living and low crime rate, "Lot's of students come from conservative countries and they choose to study in Utah for that reason."
