It has been a couple of months since Matthew Holland took over the reins at UVU, and while we all wish him success in his new position, there are some on this campus that look at his appointment with some skepticism, maybe even hostility. So if I could offer one piece of advice to Dr.
Former Lieutenant Governor Gary Herbert, now Governor Gary Herbert, (due to the resignation of former Governor, current Chinese Ambassador, and all-around awesome dude Jon Huntsman) was supposed to attend a panel discussion on our campus last Friday in lieu of Senator Orrin Hatch, who had been requested to deliver a eulogy for Ted Kennedy and who expressed regret at having to bow out at the last minute.
What has two eyes, two ears, two ovaries and is subject to routine rape? If you answered dairy cows, you are correct. How else do you think dairy cows are able to consistently give milk?

It’s okay to admit it. A cappella is pretty damn cool. Take 6 is one of America’s most famous modern a cappella groups, incorporating jazz, R&B, soul, pop and gospel into their extensive repertoire. If that’s not enough guilty pleasure for you, consider that they’re basically a boy band. Imagine Boyz II Men without instruments and with a stronger Christian influence. Sold yet?

From the “Once upon a time…” beginnings of childhood to the “… and that’s when she broke up with me,” endings that are all too familiar to college students, nothing engages the imagination like a good story.
