Orem joined more than 760 cities across the nation for an antiwar rally. This is part of the "Global Days of Protest on the Two-Year Anniversary of the Iraq War" as organized by unitedforpeace.org. President of the UVLeft on campus, Carlos Alarco, organized the local event. The UVLeft (or Neo-Socialist Club) was formed earlier this year. "We needed a voice. People who think on this side of the political spectrum need a voice," Alarco said. The anti-war rally is the first event the group has organized. Future events will address local issues, mainly the homeless. "We're trying to educate students on problems we face locally," Alarco said. "As most of us are LDS here, the Lord commands us to do certain things that I think we forget." Kris Torp, senior history student, said that she protests the war every chance she gets. "I'm out here because my little brother is in the 82nd Airborne, he just got sent home on medical leave. This war is just brutal. It's ugly. We're going about it the wrong way." The rally gave students another forum to discuss the present occupation of Iraq. People were impassioned on both sides of the debate.

Most of the response from passing vehicles was positive, with people flashing peace signs or honking their horns and giving thumbs up signs. Not all responses were positive though. Joseph Mayes, an English major, was upset by some of the responses. "Someone yelled out 'f the sand-n's', I can't believe this kind of opposition. How is that patriotic?"
