Across, Page 1 0 ScreeSo&slvcc Celebration of healthy life Craig Harter Staff writer Each year, millions of Americans express an intolerance for drugs in schools, workplaces, and communities by displaying a red ribbon. On Oct. 22-28, Utah County and UVSC celebrated ribbon week, where such events as fairs, carnivals, and educational material were displayed to promote natural highs, as opposed to substance abuse and violence. This year UVSC hosted a kegger party on Oct. 25 in the UVSC ballroom. The purpose of the party was to help students experience the sociological and psychological effects of partying with alcohol. Students in attendance were provided with complimentary food and drinks. Participants were then asked to examine the dot on the bottom of their cups, and each were grouped into different awareness activities to help them experience the damages of alcohol. A conference on gang issues was held to educate students, and help students benefit from a joint partnership involving aspects of gang intervention in Utah Valley and throughout the state. Gary Lowry, specialist in alcohol and drug education, said ribbon week was created to help students develop an awareness, as well as influence attitudes. "It's an opportunity for students to interact with different business and to get an understanding of drug and alcohol abuse." said Lowry. The goal of ribbon week is to continue to make Celebration, Page 10 Jason Tyler (left) and Brandon Olson fly upside-down in the Gyrotron during Ribbon Week. Presidential ball raises money Matt Hemmert Staff Writer Some UVSC students are $42,000 happier now, because of the President's Scholarship Ball. The Scholarship Ball has been an annual fundraising event that began five years ago. The evening of Oct. 20, guests came to UVSC dressed for a special occasion. For $100 a person, guests attended a formal reception complete with raw shellfish and ice sculpture, dined on a six course banquet, and saw performances from UVSC's Encore group and the Utah Regional Ballet. Afterward, they danced to the music of the Dick Lbsee Band. The food was prepared by the stu dents of the Culinary Arts. Hospitality Management Coordinator Greg Forte said, "the ball provided a showcase for the students to show what they learned." UVSC President Kerry Romesburg said, "the food was tremendous." According to President Romesburg the services were volunteered, so all the money raised went directly to the scholarship fund. The President's Scholarship Recipients for 1995-96 were: Terry E. Carlsen, Sarah A. Wilkey, David T Christiansen, Ranleigh Lewis Fleshman, Raimee Riddle, Tara Ferrin, Danielle A. Thompson, Tricia Ferrin, Deborah Ivie, Benjamin H. Rose, Andrea 3. Hooper, Cessily M. Cherry, Cory Cluff, Brooke Stansfield, Terry Ann C. Harward, Mark A. Johnson, Tiffany Lau, Kiffany Miller, Deborah Warnick, Curt Peterson, Karen McFarland, Candace A. Kynaston, Kami Loveridge. To be considered for a the scholarship, applicants must meet the following criteria: Have a minimum GPA of 3.8, Have a minimum ACT score of 28, Continuing students must complete at least 30 semester hours at UVSC, be a Utah resident, show evidence of active collegiate participation and service. The scholarship provides tuition, fees, $500 for books, and a $500 stipend. President Romesburg said the ball was very well attended and that next year it may have to be held in the events center to accommodate the growing number of attendees. Polarized Quebec votes 'no' on secession Charles Trueheart The Washington Post MONTREAL Voters in Quebec defeated a referendum proposal for secession from Canada Monday by the tightest of margins about one-half of one percentage point. After a cliff-hanging night of vote counting, late returns from metropolitan Montreal, where nearly half of all Quebecers live, pushed the vote against separation to a bare majority of 50.25 percent on the simple yes or no ballot. The verdict, however underwhelming, relieved an anxious nation, which had confronted the possibility of rupture only 10 days ago when public opinion polls in Quebec showed a powerful surge of support for separation. But the slim victory for unionism did not settle the issue; instead, the referendum bared divisions in the province and the country that could take years to heal.
