Wes Jones News Editor If you've ever been to the Food and Care Coalition, you know there are a lot of things going on there. You'll see volunteers busy preparing and serving meals. You'll see people talking and enjoying each other's company over a warm dinner. But if you look a little closer you will find much more. The Coalition was formed in 1986 under the name "Utah Valley Food and Shelter Coalition," by the Provo Community Congregational Church of Christ, St. Francis Catholic church, St. Mary's Episcopal church and members of the local community. The Coalition was started to assist the homeless and low income families of Utah Valley with their physical needs. The name of the Coalition was recently changed to reflect the more broad range of assistance offered by the Coalition. "Trust is the basis of our program at the Food and Care Coalition," said Brent Crane, executive director of the Coalition. "We have to have peoples trust before we can help them with their barriers," said Crane. The food served at the Coalition helps to obtain that trust. There are 250 to 300 people served each day at the Coalition which worked out to be over 50,000 meals " See Food, Page 4 Getting high over Utah Rich Asay News Editor The Aviation Science program at UVSC has soared to number one in the state. The aviation programs of both UVSC and Dixie College have joined forces to combine the qualities of the two different programs. The aviation program at Dixie has an emphasis on the mechanics of aerospace, while the curriculum at UVSC focuses more on the various facets of the flight industry. "All of our students have been placed," said Dr. Ron Smart, director of the Aviation Sciences. Students have been placed as professional pilots, aircraft dispatchers, air traffic controllers, and aircraft mechanics. Because of the decreasing number of the military pilots and the increasing demand of the airline industry, there is a great need for pilots. According to Aviation Week & Space Technology, within the next few years there will be over 20,000 commercial pilots and cockpit crews retiring. Here at UVSC there have been some recent changes to both the campus, and the aviation department. With the recent sale See UTAH, Page 4
