By CATHERINE MEIDELL news editor International students compose seven percent of USU’s stu- dentbody and International Student Council President Christian Orr said he hopes this year’s International Education Week will help these students feel welcome in an unfamiliar culture. “The majority of this group is overlooked,” Orr said. “They have a rich, rich heritage, cultural traditions and personalities. They add not only so much to USU but to the community. If we overlook that, or undervalue that, they will stop coming here. They will not feel a part of us.” Varuna Ponnamperuma, International Student Council vice president and president of The HURD, said the week will give students from the U.S. a chance to experience culture that they normally only view through the media. In addition, the international students will be given a chance to taste U.S. culture and “feel like they are not from another country,” Ponnamperuma said. THE MISS INTERNATIONAL PAGEANT will wrap up this year’s International Education Week. Miss International will be crowned, a Mr. International will also be chosen. They will perform talents representing their home countries. Photo courtesy International Student Council -See PAGEANT, page 4

According to comes in for a haircut, if they’re from some- she came to USU’s Barber Shop. the Golden Key website, Golden Key has over 375 chapters in seven regions. The international club has more than two million members worldwide. Golden Key club meetings are held all around Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Bahamas and the United States, and all the students involved have a college GPA of 3.75 or higher. According to the website, chapters are based on the campuses of top colleges and universities worldwide and foster a spirit of collaboration, leadership and service. International associate director of the club, Joseph Villafuerte, said there are three pillars that the values and goals of Golden Key are founded upon: Leadership, academics, and service. The club seeks to give these highly academic students the chance to learn valuable leadership skills, and encourages them to look up from their books once in a while and engage in creative, service-filled activities. Villafuerte came to Utah State to talk about the benefits of the club in October. According to Villafuerte, the upcoming project that the members are most looking forward to is called the Champ project. The Golden Key club is joining forces with the sociology department throughout the spring semester to work with high school students in Cache Valley. Each member participating in the service activity will be matched with a high school student to help prepare them for life at a university. In April, the students will have a chance to follow club members around campus to see what college life offers, and to show them how they can also be academically responsible enough to merit an invitation to the Golden Key club. Heather Hancock, a new member of the club and sophomore majoring in physical therapy, said she joined the club because “it looks really good on your resume, and it’s a fantas- tic way to tap into scholarships that most people can’t apply

The room has a large amount of cutting space, as well as 20 sewing machines available. There are two interns at each meeting who can answer questions or help with any difficulties. Jen Giddens, a senior in interior design, said the traditional view of a sewing circle is little old ladies, but there are many young, talented designers who show the possibilities for college students to learn this new skill set and make their own style. “There isn’t a community outlet for people who sew or want to learn to sew,” said Sarah Geer, a student receiving her second bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies. “Having a place to sew promotes sewing.” Geer and Giddens, as well as Chanae Weller, a junior in public relations, were interns over the summer for assistant professor Lindsey Shirley. Shirley works in family and consumer sciences education as well as agricultural systems technology and education. Working together, they created the sewing circle, which held its first two meetings this semester. Three other interns, help with the circle. “To teach yourself every little thing about sewing, every defini- tion, is really tedious,” Geer said. Not only can the interns help with beginning sewing projects, Giddens said sometimes another pair of eyes reading a sewing pattern, which can get really compli- cated, is all that is needed on a project. Weller said she has found her past experience with the interns very rewarding. “I didn’t sew a stitch,” Weller said. Because she had never been involved with sewing, Weller is able to give feedback on whether patterns designed, and other sewing material the interns work on, are understandable to the beginning sewer. “(The interns are) so patient, so good to take you through the little steps throughout the job,” Weller said. She has learned to sew since becoming an intern. All five other interns sew really well and have a lot of creativity and talent, Weller said. Giddens and Geer are both accomplished sewers. Giddens designs patterns for bags. Geer likes to dream up challenging ideas and then make them realities. “There is so much more meaning in home-made gifts. Sewing THE SEWING CIRCLE BEGAN at the start of the school year to allow both new and experienced sewers to come and practice.

In LuAnn Parkinson’s office, there is a rock engraved with the words, “every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it, autograph your work with excellence.” This quote is something she lives by at home and at work. From managing new campus buildings Tickets On Sale Now to budgeting finances, Parkinson has done it all. As senior budget officer for the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human In Concert Services at Utah State University, Parkinson works to keep the college’s finances in order. Though she has a full-time job at Utah State now, Parkinson used to be an average student on campus. She graduated in May 1978 with an associate degree in office administration, a major the university no longer offers. Reflecting on her time at Utah State, Parkinson said she wished the major was still available to students, because it was really beneficial to her. “I really learned a lot. That was back when we didn’t have computers,” she said. “We worked with typewriters, ditto machines and stencil machines.

By TYLER HUSKINSON web editor

Sophomore outside hitter Josselyn White and junior outside hitter Liz McArthur each posted 10 kills to lead the Utah State Aggies (19-8, 7-7 WAC) over the Nevada Wolf Pack (13-14, 7-7 WAC) in three sets Friday night in their home finale (25-23, 25- 21, 25-16). “I thought we played well for a long period of time,” Aggie head coach Grayson DuBose said. “That was one of our goals. We have this phrase, ‘we want to be good over time,’ and I thought we were good over a long period of time tonight. We weren’t real high. We weren’t real low. We were just steady.” The Aggies were able to avenge an earlier road loss (3-1) to the Wolf Pack as well as gain ground in the WAC standings. The Wolf Pack didn’t go quietly, but the Aggies were able to remain consistent the whole match. “I think it’s a huge advantage being at home and with it being senior night, everybody wanted to win for us,” senior set- ter Chelsea Fowles said. “We had more emotion in this match.” With the first set knotted at nine apiece, Wolf Pack junior outside hitter Erin Garvey and sophomore middle blocker Janelle Batista committed attack errors to give the Aggies a lead they would not relinquish. The Wolf Pack did make a push late in set, as they were trailing 23-18. A kill from senior outside hitter Kylie Harrington spurred a 5-1 run, but Aggie sophomore opposite side hitter Shay Sorenson pounded to end the run and the set. “It’s a combination of us being able to serve tough, getting those guys out of system, and then we stayed in system,” DuBose said. “I didn’t think we passed well the first half of the first set, but then I think we steadied out a bit.” In the second set, the visiting Wolf Pack jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead before Sorenson pounded a kill that led to a 10-2 Aggie run. The Aggies would cruise to a second set victory, as they led by at least four points the rest of the match. What was most impressive for the Aggies in the second set was their abil- ity to dig out tough balls and create points.
