What should you expect
from your BYU experience?
Dear New Students:
I am pleased to welcome you to Brigham Young University. You are about to embark
upon a journey where your spiritual and secular learning will be interwoven with
personal growth and development.
Along with the fun and excitement of the BYU social life, we seek
something far richer. Our mission at
BYU is “to assist individuals in their
quest for perfection and eternal life.”
In order to achieve this mission, we
hope your experience will be (1) spiritually strengthening, (2) intellectually enlarging, and (3) character
building, which leads to (4) lifelong
learning and service (Aims of BYU
Education). Here are some students’
experiences with the BYU Aims:
When you enter BYU, you will see a sign that states “Enter
to learn, go forth to serve.” Over the coming years, you will
refine your divine gifts and capabilities in your chosen field of
study. These discoveries will serve you, your family and your
community throughout your life.
BYU’s mission supports the mission of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in that we strive “to
assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal
life.” I assure you that the university’s faculty, staff, and
administrators are more than willing — even eager — to make
their service and scholarship available to you.
I encourage you to make the most of your experience.
Immerse yourself in what takes place at Brigham Young
University. Take part in the New Student Orientation
activities, learning all you can about BYU’s rich heritage and
vast opportunities. Make new friends; our students come from
all 50 states and more than 120 countries. Prepare yourself
mentally and spiritually for demanding, yet exhilarating
course work. Commit yourself to living fully BYU’s Honor
Code, knowing that it reflects your personal integrity and our
foundation in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Be sure to become
involved in your student ward or local congregation and make
the time and effort to attend campus Devotionals and Forum
assemblies.

Elder Cecil O. Samuelson is the 12th
president of Brigham Young University.
He also serves as a member of the
Seventy in the general leadership of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, the sponsoring institution
of BYU.
Finally, and importantly, study BYU’s mission statement and
the “Aims of a BYU Education” (aims.byu.edu), incorporating
these guidelines into your own individual educational quest.
In the “AIMS of a BYU Education,” we read that “BYU seeks
to develop students of faith, intellect and character who have
the skills and the desire to continue learning and to serve
others throughout their lives.” As your president, I am committed to upholding
this charge — one I view as an inspired vision that will lead you and this university
to even greater heights.
Together, with the faculty and staff, we will accomplish Brigham Young’s desire to
see this institution not only affect the course of higher education but also the world
in which we live. Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.
Sincerely yours,
Cecil O. Samuelson
Office of First-Year Experience
Spiritually Strengthening
After hours of waiting in line
with thousands of other students,
I thought the time would never
come for the doors to open. We had
all been anticipating this event for
months now. The prophet was coming to speak at a devotional. I do
not remember the exact words he
spoke that day, but I do remember
being in the presence of our prophet,
Thomas S. Monson. It was a wonderful feeling.
While there are many opportunities like this that have strengthened
me spiritually at BYU; the day-to-day
experiences have contributed more
to my spiritual growth.
The experiences that have helped
me develop spiritually are the
weekly devotionals and examples of
friends and neighbors. I am continually surrounded with opportunities
to have faith-building experiences;
these experiences have come from
my willingness to listen and seek
them out. Whether it is the devotional speaker who suggested we
wake up 20 minutes earlier to have
personal study time, my professor
who took time out of his class daily
to share a spiritual thought or my
neighbor who left roses to wish me
good luck on finals; these are the
examples I will remember. These
examples have taught me simple life
lessons that have strengthened my
faith in unexplainable ways.
–Becca Jack, junior
Intellectually Enlarging
Taking Music 101 was a life-changing experience for me. I decided to
take it with a friend because he
heard it was an “easy” class. Because
of that advice, we didn’t study as
diligently as we should have for the
first exam. After the first exam, we
were both stunned to see our grades.
It was the lowest grade I had ever
received on a test.
At first I was a little devastated, but
the goal is not only to develop depth
in a specific major but also to build
breadth in general learning. I knew
that even though music wasn’t “my
thing,” I could still learn from being
in this class.
I made a better study plan. I took
time to really study the material and
tried to understand what my professor was trying to teach.
I learned a lot about music from
Music 101, but more than that, I
learned the importance of enlarging my intellect in all of the subjects
I study at BYU.
–JT Wiser, junior
Character Building
Character is a desirable characteristic, but let’s be honest – we
often don’t really want the experiences that develop it. Because high
school was not particularly difficult
for me, I came to BYU unprepared.
People told me it was going to be difficult, but I thought I could handle
it because I barely had to study in
high school. Cue: This was going to
be a character-building experience.
BYU is a challenging university. I
was no longer “smarter” than everyone else. I was no longer able to finish
homework in a matter of minutes.
Studying for tests? That was something new. Surprisingly, my first
report card was not pretty.
Learning to work at school was difficult. It took a level of self-discipline
that I hadn’t previously possessed,
and it wasn’t fun. I had to curtail the
fun in order to succeed. It worked.
–Brice Johnson, sophomore
Lifelong Learning and Service
I took American Heritage during my first BYU semester. Part of
the requirement was to perform 20
hours of service. I remember thinking, “How am I to do this much
service? I’m struggling just to stay
afloat with my normal homework.”
I volunteered at a retirement home
and was assigned to visit an elderly
woman once a week. After weeks of
visiting her, we formed a friendship
that continues to this day.
Now having graduated from BYU,
I try to continue serving others.
The opportunity to be at BYU was
an incredible blessing and privilege.
Since I have been given so much, it is
my opportunity to pay forward some
of what I have been given.

From the academic vice president
A university full of resources for your academic success
Dear New Students:
I congratulate you on qualifying for admission to BYU through your
strong academic and personal preparation, and I extend to you a hearty
welcome to Brigham Young University. The time you spend here on
campus will, in many important ways, define you for the rest of your life.
The faculty at BYU are anxious to welcome you in their classrooms
and are committed to providing a rigorous education. Adjusting to the
demands of university coursework may be a bit challenging for some.
You are likely to find less time is spent in formal classroom settings in
college than in high school, and
the academic expectations may be
higher than previously accustomed
to. You will perhaps need to accept
greater personal responsibility for
your own learning than you have
done previously. I encourage you to
get started right, stretching the high
academic standards you have already
set for yourselves. Take advantage of
every opportunity and access to help
in your classes — study groups, lab
groups, faculty office hours, informal
student study groups, etc. Significant
resources exist to help you succeed.
In addition to your formal coursework,
I encourage you to vigorously pursue
other learning opportunities on

you. Further, make attendance at
campus Devotionals in the Marriott Center a priority. For many students,
the chance to hear General Authorities speak with such frequency is a
significant and rare opportunity. Campus Devotionals will also permit you
to hear faculty discuss their faith and testimonies, often in the context of
their disciplines. Please don’t fall into the trap of thinking you don’t have
time for these weekly experiences.
Begin this year to cultivate a practice of engaging your professors in
formal and informal ways. As you mature in your chosen discipline,
you may pursue opportunities to work with a faculty member in
extracurricular research or creative work. Such mentoring experiences
will give you a unique perspective into learning and will position you for
opportunities in the future.
I look forward to seeing you on campus and hope that when I do, your
faces will reveal that you are enjoying your experience here.
Best wishes,
Brent W. Webb
Academic Vice President

Using the entire second floor of the Heber J. Grant Building and administering more than 800,000 tests each year,
the Testing Center is one of the busiest places on campus.
Filling in the right ovals at the Testing Center
By K AT E B E N N I O N
Despite your chosen field of study
at BYU, you will undoubtedly spend
time at the Heber J. Grant Building,
better known as the Testing Center.
Kylie Durham, Testing Center
supervisor and secretary, thinks
the Testing Center gets a bad rap
unnecessarily.
“It’s a great service to campus,”
Durham said. “We give back class
hours to instructors and to students
too. Who doesn’t want three days to
take a test?”
Administering more than 800,000
tests per year, the BYU Testing
Center is the largest college testing facility in the United States and
Canada.
Professors give the tests to the
Testing Center and schedule a few
days when the test will be available
to students. Often tests can be taken
on a late day for a fee determined
by the department. Students present their ID card at the entry desk,
designate which test they are taking and Testing Center proctors
give them a cover or bubble sheet.
Then, they enter the testing area
where tests are completed. After
time to find
housing...
you sn
o
testing, students return their tests
to a proctor.
On multiple-choice exams, students can view their score on a
computer screen on their way out,
where it is displayed as a percentage next to the last five digits of the
student’s ID number.
When taking a test at the
Testing Center, be sure to have:
Your student ID (or other government-issued identification).
Your class and instructor name.
A No. 2 pencil. Pencils can also be
purchased for 30 cents at the entry
desk.
Other materials authorized by
your teacher, such as dictionaries
for foreign language classes.
Time. Give yourself plenty of time
to take your test. Check online (testing.byu.edu) for the Testing Center
hours. The last tests are handed out
one hour before closing time, and
all tests are collected promptly at
closing. Know the availability dates
for your test as well.
Don’t bring:
Your phone. “If your phone’s out,
we assume you’re cheating, so keep
it away and off,” Durham said. “If
we catch you texting, we have to
pull your test.”
A beard. Part of the Testing
Center’s job is to enforce the Honor
Code. Make sure you observe the
Dress and Grooming standards.
Things you didn’t know the
Testing Center had:
A website. The Testing Center
can service almost 650 students at
once, but the website features a live
camera so you can keep your eye
on the line.
A music room. “It’s a smaller
testing room that plays classical
music,” Durham said. Some students enjoy soothing music while
they test.
Notes. The windowsill at the
Testing Center exit is an unofficial
depository for encouraging notes to
friends taking tests.
Friendly employees. “We try to
make it as painless as possible,”
Durham said. “Employees are
helpful. They’d rather you ask
questions.”
A free pencil on your birthday.
Otherwise, pencils cost 30 cents.
Blue books (for essay tests) are also
available for 50 cents, and calculators can be rented for 50 cents. All
Testing Center costs are charged to
your university account.

The Hub: reserved parking for freshmen in the library
By S T E P H A N I E H I L L A M
New Student Orientation
Coordinator
When you need a comfortable place to study but don’t
feel like walking all the way
back to the dorm, The Hub can
help solve your study woes.
It is located conveniently
behind the Info Commons in
the No Shh Zone of the library.
The Hub was developed as a
place for freshmen to relax,
study and have a place to call
their own. This space is furnished with lounge chairs,
couches and group project
tables. It has a flat-screen
monitor to keep freshmen
posted on upcoming activities
and opportunities, wireless
Internet access and plenty of
power outlets for students who
bring their laptops along.
Many students who want to

study in a more relaxing area
on campus use this space. Alex
Jafek, a freshman in 2010, said,
“The Hub is a great addition
to the library. It’s a wonderful place that is a little more
relaxed.”
It is a great place to study in
groups, work on group projects or just work on your own.
“It’s nice that you are
allowed to talk, sit on comfortable chairs and couches,
and can still get work done,”
Jafek said.
The Hub is also a great place
to meet with your peer mentor.
A few stations are located in
this space where freshmen can
meet with a mentor to discuss
anything from your classes to
study tips, or even the BYU basketball team. Chad Harrison, a
peer mentor, explains mentors
help make The Hub an open
and inviting space.
“It’s nice to know that when
one of your students go there –
even if you’re not there – one of
the other peer mentors will be,
and they’ll be happy to help,”
Harrison said.
The Hub can be a relaxing
place to study with friends
or to just unwind between
classes. Jafek sums up the
uniqueness of The Hub nicely.
“It is a special and distinctive addition to the library
where studying and relaxing
can coexist in peaceful harmony,” Jafek said.

Become part of the BYU community before you step foot on
campus by joining more than
5,000 freshmen who will participate in the First-Year Reading
Program this summer.
Rather than assigning a book
to students, the Office of FirstYear Experience has chosen a
collection of seven recent BYU
Devotionals. Each speech supports the standards of BYU and
has been specifically selected
for the incoming class of 2011.
“Our goal is to introduce
students to the values of a BYU
education stated in the mission statement,” said Heather
Hammond, assistant dean for
First-Year Experience.
This year’s reading assignment includes the following
messages and Devotional
speeches:

In the fall, the Office of FirstYear Experience and Education
in Zion will host the Creative
Works Contest based on the
reading assignment. Students
are invited to submit creative
works in the categories of written, performing and visual
arts.
This year’s reading should
not only introduce you to
the values and standards of
the university, but hopefully
motivate students to follow a
path of disciple scholarship
throughout their entire BYU
experience.
“First of all, we want freshmen to have an understanding
of the aims of a BYU education,” Hammond said. “Second,
we want to help students open
up communication and discuss
those values. Next, we want
to help students understand
the importance of attending Devotionals and Forums.
Finally, underscoring all of it is
to strengthen the campus community through a core value
and understanding.”
Rise all loyal Cougars and hurl your challenge to the foe.
You will fight, day or night, rain or snow.
Loyal, strong, and true
Wear the white and blue.
While we sing, get set to spring.
Come on Cougars it’s up to you. Oh!
CHORUS:
Rise and shout, the Cougars are out
along the trail to fame and glory.
Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out
As you unfold your victr’y story.
On we go, to vanquish the foe
for Alma Mater’s sons and daughters.
As we join in song, in praise of you, our faith is strong,
We’ll raise our colors high in the blue,
And cheer our Cougars of BYU.
RULES GOVERN PARENTAL ACCESS TO RECORDS
Once you enroll at BYU,
the days of your parents
checking your report card
are over.
Ever since the Family
Educational Rights and
Privacy Act passed in 1974,
students have exclusive
rights to their academic
records. Parents do not have
a right to know what grades
their children receive at
BYU, the charges on their
student account or how they
are doing in a class.
Students may authorize
their parents to access
a confidential academic
record, but a strict process
must be followed in order to
do so.
The student must:
1.Specify the records to be
released.
2.Indicate the purpose of the
release.
3.Identify the party to whom
the disclosure may be made.
4.Sign and date the release.
After that, the parent must
present the written release to
the record keeper as well as
a picture ID showing that he
or she is the party identified
in the release.
If parents provide copies
of tax forms showing they
claimed their student as
a dependent on last year’s
income tax forms, BYU
is legally permitted (but
not obligated) to release
academic data to the parents
without the student’s
permission.
Despite the strict rules and
policies, Jearlene Leishman,
assistant registrar for BYU,
said she hopes students
won’t be pitted against their
parents when it comes to
their education.
“We encourage all parents
to work with their students
when desiring access to
educational records at BYU,”
Leishman said.

Discover the traditions of a unique campus life
Plugging in to the latest campus tech
By A S H L E Y B . J O H N S O N
Computer labs around campus are full of students taking
advantage of the technology
available at BYU, from working on homework to checking
Facebook.
The Office of Information
Technology (OIT) works to
help students and faculty
access computers, create
projects on specialized software and complete everyday
assignments.
Computers
There are more than 600
computers in eight openaccess computer labs on
campus. They are located in
the Jesse Knight Building,
Harold B. Lee Library,
Spencer W. Kimball Tower,
Student Athlete Building,
John A. Widtsoe Building,
Wilkinson Student Center,
Wymount Administration
Building and Heritage Halls
Administration Building.
Other computer labs are run
by departments on campus
and are primarily meant for
students of that department.
For students who do not
own a computer of their own,
a rental service is available.
Desktops and laptops, both
Windows and Mac can be
rented for $12–$30 per month.
Rentals are available at the
Leo B. Ellsworth Building,
with booths near on-campus
housing the first few days of
the semester.
Devon Janke, an electrical
engineering major, rented a
laptop his freshman year and
thinks it is a good option for
those planning on serving a
mission soon.
“It just doesn’t make sense
to buy a computer before your
mission,” Janke said. “By the
time you get back, the computer is obsolete.”
Printing
Whether or not students
have a computer, they can
print on campus printers.
Printers on campus use
Pharos technology, which
means students can slide their
student ID card to access documents they have sent to the
printer.
Documents can be printed
in black and white or in color
for 7 cents a page.
For a directory of printer

wireless devices with OIT so
that the login and anti-virus
verification only happens
when their registration runs

on the OIT website and can be
found by searching “wireless

Similar to the printer locations database above, OIT
has a database of wireless
access points. Click on the
Accesspoint Locations link on
the OIT wireless access page.
Because there are hundreds of wireless access
points on campus, students
living on campus are not permitted wireless routers, but
are provided with Ethernet
connections.

What do you think about
when you hear the word tradition? Tevye breaking out into
song on Fiddler on the Roof?
Family activities? High
school rituals?
Traditions bring people
together. Traditions build a
community. At BYU, we want
to bring students together
and help them feel like a part
of the BYU community. So,
we are giving you the inside
scoop on the BYU traditions
you have to look forward to.
Ask anyone about traditions at the Y, and you will
hear either Hiking the Y or
Tunnel Singing.
Hiking the Y: President
George H. Brimhall commissioned students to put the
letters B, Y and U on what is
now known as Y Mountain.
Students stood eight feet
apart and passed lime, sand
and rocks to create the Y.
After so much effort to create
the Y, no attempt was made to
construct the B or U.
Standing 380 feet tall, the Y is
now the largest college symbol
in the U.S. The 1.2 mile trek up
to the Y is not for the faint of
heart, but it is a must for every
Cougar.
Tunnel Singing: By some
strange marvel of physics, the
tunneled walkway that leads to
the Marriott Center happens
can’t go wrong with massive
amounts of blue foam, a Slip ‘n’
Slide and hundreds of students.
While you are slipping and
sliding, perhaps you will meet
someone you want to get to
know a little bit better. There
is no shortage of dating traditions; the ever-popular tandem bike ride, International
Cinema or one of BYU’s
exceptional comedy groups.
Perhaps even better than the
date itself is the tradition of
hearing about the date afterward. BYU dating stories are
known to be epic.
On a more serious
note, attending weekly
Devotionals is one of the
most rewarding traditions at
BYU. When papers are due,
exams are looming and skipping Devotional is the path of
least resistance, do not do it!
Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to renew
your spirit and learn from
BYU scholars and General
Authorities.
If you want to learn more
about traditions at the Y, get

Improve your citizenship: being
polite in a crowd of 30,000
By K I M B E R LY M I C H E L S
Some students looked longingly at the harvest orange
soup but did not dare take the
first bite.
At a campus etiquette dinner,
students seemed the picture of
proper etiquette. White cloth
napkins rested on their laps
and many breathed the phrases
“thank you” and “please” in
every sentence they uttered.
Now, compare this scene
to dinnertime at the Cannon
Center. The remnants of a
saucy barbecue dinner may
marinate in a collapsed dish
of ice cream on students’ platters. When students remember
to say “thank you,” they often
mumble.
However, proper etiquette
should be demonstrated beyond
etiquette dinners. Here are a
few reminders: Eat Up and Clean Up
Generally, students are not
dining on five-course meals.
However, proper etiquette still
applies. No matter where you
are, no one wants a public display of your chewed food.
Perhaps more rude than lolling leftovers in your mouth
while talking is using your
roommates like servants. You
are in charge of cleaning up
after yourself. If your roommates find remnants of halfeaten meals, the clean-up may
not inspire fond feelings.
Walking Between Classes
When the bell rings, a herd
of students begin their migration across campus. To be
polite, remember to swim
downstream.
Katie May, a sophomore from
Sacramento, Calif., said the students who stop in the middle of
pathways frustrate her.
“It’s so obnoxious because I
am trying to get to class and
I only have 10 minutes to get
from the JKB to the JSB,” May
said. “I get frustrated when
others stop right in front of me
with no warning.”

Facebook During Class
Do not distract your neighbors or professor by snickering
over a text or shooting angry
birds at chunky pigs.
“It is embarrassing to professors,” said Robert Freeman, a
professor in Church History
and Doctrine. Freeman said
professors often notice students checking their emails or
watching clips during class.
“What I’m teaching, what I’m
talking about, is it so much less
important than the most recent
highlight from yesterday’s
game?” Freeman said. Save It for Date Night
The lovebirds that coo to each
other during class should be
warned: they are not making
friends with students around
them. To be polite, wait for date
night.
Thank You
The phrases “please” and
“thank you” add delicacy and
refinement to life. Simply be
polite by being kind.

Perspectives from those who once shared your view
By A S H L E Y VA N W A G O N E R
BYU represents unlimited opportunities and a wide-open future:
the trick is taking advantage of
your time here.
There are many things said former freshmen about their first year
and what they learned. Students
agreed on feelings of being overwhelmed, excited, scared and ready
for the adventure.
One commonality which stood
out to all was their experience
with homework. Their advice? Do
it. Not only do it, but pace yourself
and avoid cramming for finals and
save yourself a world of unnecessary stress.
Merilee Strong, a soon-to-besophomore from Richland, Wash.,
said she wished she would have
found a better balance between
friends and homework, but admitted it took time for her to find what
was best for her.
“I wish somebody would have
told me that homework is more
important than partying,” Strong
said. “There must be a balance.”
Strong said once she found her
personal balance through trial and
error, she was able to find greater
peace.
Lauren Kimball, also a soon-tobe sophomore from Salt Lake City,
said living with her best friends has
been a distraction for her at times,
especially as she overloaded herself
right from the start; however, she
said she gained greater insight having done it the hard way.
“I wish I would have known to
just start off slow,” Kimball said. “I
took too many hard classes right at
the beginning which wasn’t smart.
It’s hard to learn how to balance
everything. One thing to remember
is that one bad grade isn’t the end
of the world.”
Kimball also encouraged her
soon-to-be peers to remember to
stay social.
“It’s good to be social,” Kimball
said. “It is something you should
focus on as well; it isn’t a waste of
time.”
BYU dating, according to some
students, has a history which creates big expectations for incoming
freshmen. Logan Hill, a sophomore
from Idaho Falls, Idaho, said he
wouldn’t advise the guys to get serious with a girl before the mission.
“Pre-missionaries shouldn’t
expect to have a lot of girls commit to write to them,” Hill said. “I
wouldn’t try to get a steady girlfriend before you leave. First and
foremost, you should keep a mission in the front of your mind.”
Hill also reminded freshmen to
stick to the basics when it comes to
their spiritual growth and to not let
go of those things they’ve learned
their whole lives.
“It’s kind of the Sunday School
answers,” Hill said. “Make sure
you’re going to church on Sundays,
read your scriptures every day and
don’t forget to pray. Make time to go
to the temple, even to do baptisms.
These are the things that really
help.”
Courtney Severson, a junior from
Bentonville, Ark., said to just be
yourself, and don’t try to live up to
anyone else’s expectations of how
your dating life should be.
“Dating is an important part of
your social life,” Severson said.
“My dad told me as a freshman to
not get married. Don’t expect to
live up to any standard anyone else
sets – just be yourself.”
Jeff Sayer, a BYU alumnus, said
to keep your sights high and never
settle for less when it comes to your
relationships.
“Never sacrifice your standards,” Sayer said. “Even if it’s a
little bit more lonely of a stance,
wait for someone who matches your
vision.”
In the mix of everything, sleep
is always a critical component that
often gets put on the back burner.
Severson encouraged freshmen
to realize their limits, especially
when it comes to sleep.
“Roomies keep you social, so
set limits,” Severson said. “Know
when to get sleep. I would stay up
until 3 a.m., and it was really hard
to wake up for my classes.”
In an effort to help incoming
freshmen stay afloat and keep them
progressing toward graduation,
students are not left alone in their
experience. Past freshmen said to
recognize that other freshmen are
just as new to the college scene as
you – it’s impossible to know what
to expect until you’ve truly experienced it.
Nathan Beck, a senior from
River Side, Calif., said he didn’t
know until later in his college
Bloomberg BusinessWeek
U.S. News & World Report & Public Accounting Report
career there was more available
to him than he could even consume – things which would have
greatly eased his efforts and made
him more efficient and productive
earlier on.
“I wish I’d have known the
resources that BYU has,” Beck
said. “For example, the computer
labs – they are way more functional than I thought they would
be. There is just a lot the university offers that I wish I would have
taken advantage of. Research, and
find out what you have right at your
fingertips.”
Taking advantage of the moment
requires knowing what is out there
for you. Past students advised
freshmen to step out of their social
bubble and look around them.
Sayer said he came to BYU intimidated by the size of everything – a
bigger school, more students and
basically everything was bigger
than he imagined it would be.
According to Sayer, there is so
much more out there for students to
grasp hold of and run with – things
that can change their lives forever – the trick is realizing it while
you are still in the moment.
“I wish I would have realized that
‘big’ meant vast,” Sayer said. “It’s a
vast opportunity to meet new people and make new friends, some of
the finest and elect individuals. We
need to pull out of our social circles.
Instead of being intimidated, I wish
I would have flipped my perspective and seen it as an opportunity
to gain new knowledge and find lifelong friends.”
All the convenience of
a computer lab in
the convenience of
your room.
That’s twice the
convenience.

This is the definitive guide
for all nest fliers, greenhorn
wanderers and rookie
adventurers. The Daily
Universe’s Ultimate Survival
Guide covers everything from
getting some grub to scouting
out your classroom turf. Fully
illustrated and easy to use, this
guide assists in finding study
oases, navigating campus and
surviving your new adventure!
Here we go, tenderfoot!
A mighty campus citadel, the Wilkinson
Student Center (WSC or the Wilk) is a refuge
for the hungry, the crafty, the multicultural,
the poorly groomed, the career aspirants,
the book readers, the gamers, the seekers
of lost items, the outdoor adventurers, the
letter mailers and the service givers.
Shhh! This colossal book repository
is a quiet sanctuary for the studious,
offering incalculable volumes on an
array of topics. The Harold B. Lee Library
shelters adventurers of every breed — the
unobtrusive scholars, the rambunctious
learners — and even designates a special
hub for tenderfoot adventurers.
The Smith Fieldhouse and Richards Building
are popular stomping grounds for active
adventurers. These recreational retreats
house swimmers, weight lifters and
competitors of all kinds. The most agile
contenders can be found facing off on the
gridiron at LaVell Edwards Stadium or on
the court at the Marriott Center.
Campus offers not only a habitat for the
studious, but also a haunt for the affable.
Journeyers can explore ancient artifacts,
artistic exhibitions, athletic accolades,
biological specimens and Jurassic remains
at one of the many museums. Campus also
offers a planetarium for the stargazers and
performance halls for patrons of the arts.
This handy pathfinder will help you
identify campus landmarks and locate
your classrooms as you transform from
a tenderfoot adventurer to a campus
connoisseur. Happy trails, greenhorns!

FIRESIDE MOMENT
“Thoughtful planning and preparation
are key to a rewarding future, but we
do not live in the future — we live in the
present. It is day by day that we work
out our plans for the future; it is day by
day that we achieve our goals. It is one
day at a time that we raise and nurture
our families. It is one day at a time that
we overcome imperfections. We endure
in faith to the end one day at a time.”

RB JJ Di Luigi scores the first touchdown against SDSU, guard Haley Hall works her way down court
against UW and BYU rugby players celebrate during the Cougars’ 14-11 win over Colorado State.
By J . J . D E S P A I N
BYU has collected many academic honors over the years,
but the university is perhaps
more famous as a sports mecca.
Cougar fans fill up LaVell
Edwards Stadium and the
Marriott Center regularly for
football and men’s basketball,
and also take pride in the success of the other sports BYU
offers. BYU is home to 21 teams
participating in the NCAA, as
well as club teams like hockey,
men’s soccer and rugby.
And for all these sports, victories and championships are
the norm. During the 2010-11
season alone, 11 of BYU’s 21
NCAA sports had winning
seasons and six competed in
NCAA championships. The
men’s track team, led by the
record-breaking Miles Batty,
reached the highest of any
BYU team in 2010-11 with a
third place finish in the NCAA
indoor championships.
The club sports have also
found plenty of success. Men’s
rugby and lacrosse made it to
the championship game in their
league, with lacrosse took the
title. And the BYU racquetball
team recently won fourth place
at a national championship.
No matter what the sport,
BYU students love to cheer on
their Cougars.
“The atmosphere at sporting events is so fun, because
all the students are really
into it, and usually pretty passionate about the sports,” said
Kimberlie Haner, a sophomore
from Portland, Ore., and a BYU
superfan. “It’s a lot of fun to be
around other people who care
as much as you about what’s
going to happen.”
BYU is fresh off an extraordinary year led by Jimmer
Fredette and the men’s basketball team. Fredette was the
center of a season-long media
frenzy, with a whopping 28.9
points per game average and a
mesmerizing style to match. He
led the Cougars to the Sweet 16
round of the NCAA basketball
tournament, the farthest BYU
has advanced in 30 years.
But what makes Fredette
even better, Haner said, is the
positive attention he brings to
BYU.
“It’s just really cool to have
someone out there who’s the
same as us here, same beliefs,
goes to our school, is just a
great guy in general,” Haner
said. “And so it’s really great
having him out there in the
media as a role model for tons
of people.”
In fact, the Honor Code is
what helps Haner enjoy BYU
sports even more.
“The athletes have the same
standards as us, so that makes
it special as well,” Haner said.
“You can go to any sporting
event, and you won’t hear people yelling out curse words or
coming to games drunk.”
This year, most BYU sports
will make their debut in the
West Coast Conference, after
an 12-year dominance over the
Mountain West Conference.
While those sports switch to
the WCC, BYU’s legendary football program begins its independence, led by sophomore
quarterback Jake Heaps.
“I think football will be good,
because we got Heaps, and he’s
good,” Haner said.
Last year, Heaps broke every
record for a freshman quarterback at BYU, and threw 2,316
yards and 15 touchdowns.
Haner said new students
should do whatever it takes to
attend BYU’s sporting events.
“I would say don’t be afraid to
go. Some people are nervous to
go, ‘Oh, I don’t want to have to
wait in line,’ or ‘What if I don’t
know people sitting around
me?’” Haner said. “It doesn’t
matter if you don’t know who
you’re sitting next to. They love
sports, too. I’ve made so many
friends at basketball games,
and I’ve made some at football
games.”

Sport passes – your chance to ‘rise and shout’
By A S H L E Y L . J O H N S O N
For devout Cougar fans and
avid lovers of sports, a BYU
All-Sport Pass is your golden
ticket to all campus sporting
events.
The BYU All-Sport Pass
is for all Cougars who love
being at BYU sporting events.
Everyone from freshmen to
seniors are able and encouraged to purchase the pass
which grants access to all
BYU intercollegiate (NCAA)
events. Students can buy one
student pass and up to three
guest passes for family and
friends.
You can attend any NCAA
BYU sporting event just by
showing your All-Sport Pass.
For football games, attendants
are required to show printed
tickets sent to your email prior
to gameday and valid student
ID at the gate. There is also a
cheaper option to purchase an
All-Sport Card for $65 and up
to three student guests for $90.
The cheaper option grants
access to all sports excluding
football games.
Seating for sports passes
is on a first-come, first-serve
basis, but most events never
turn down students for
admission.
“This past basketball season with Jimmer, almost
every game was sold out,” said
Bill Hoops, marketing coordinator for BYU Athletics. “we
still made it possible for students to watch the games with
watch parties on campus and
provided reserved seating.”
Present your All-Sport
Pass at the entrance of any
sporting event. Even though
sometimes students
have to wait and are
seated early, the
experience can
be even more
entertaining
for both
t he students and
the teams.
Hoops said
students
this year have been incredibly
dedicated to their team.
“A lot of the time when visiting coaches would come to the
Marriott Center, they would
comment on how great BYU’s
student section was,” he said.
Hoops suggested All-Sport
Passes are the best deals for
student sports fans.
“It is clearly the best option,” he said. “We want students to be able to come and
enjoy the games. We love the
support, we love when they
wait in line, we love when they
cheer and we love giving them
priority.”
All-Sport Passes will
be
ava i l able
mid-August at

TRADITIONS OF THE
BYU’s new custom portal: myBYU
Each year, Helaman Field becomes a sea of blue foam as BYU
fans play True Blue Football, flag football played in a thick layer
of BYU-blue foam. Participants can also slide down the side of
the hill through the blue cloud.
The tradition of True Blue Football evolved from an older
tradition – the Mud Bowl. BYU used to plow up a field and the
Provo fire department would hose it down until it was all mud.
BYU fans would then play tackle football in the muck.

Dining on campus is easier with a meal plan
BYU meal plans are helping
hungry students satisfy the
munchies while keeping their
piggy banks full.
Meal plans seem to be the
most convenient and easiest
way to find meals and snacks on
campus, and because there are
multiple plans to choose from,
there is a plan for everyone.
“We offer a variety of meal
plans that meet the different
needs of students, because
every student has a little different dining need,” said Dean
Wright, director of dining services. “We’re trying to meet the
lifestyles of students, the ones
who live in Helaman Halls,
the ones who like to go grocery
shopping, the ones off campus,
to the students who live in a traditional home and need to have
their meals on campus.”
There are five meal plans students can choose from including EZ Dining, Cannon Block
of Meals, Open Door, Diner’s
Platinum and, the most popular, Dining Plus.
“Meal plans take away the
stress of having to shop for
and cook our own food,” said
Rachel Wade, a freshman living in Helaman Halls who uses
a Dining Plus plan. “If we’re in
a hurry on campus, it lets us
grab a snack quickly from the
vending machines.”
Wade chose the Dining Plus
plan because it allows her to
eat not only at the Cannon
Center, but at all the eateries
on campus.
With several on-campus dining locations open at various
times of the day, students are
sure to find the perfect meal
even during early mornings
and late nights.
“Food is so much easier to
find with a meal plan,” said
Alexis Sienicki, a student
who believes every freshman
should have a meal plan. “I
have constant access to the
Cannon at Helaman Halls,
vending machines on campus,
the Cougar Eat, Blue Line,
Skyroom, you name it. I never
run out of options of where,
when and how I can get my next
meal.”
Meal plans can be paid for
monthly, after which funds to
purchase food are sent directly
to a student’s signature card.
“Our signature cards are like
debit cards,” Sienicki said. “I
love using mine because I
always have it with me. I don’t
need to carry around cash wondering whether I have enough,
and I don’t have to carry around
loose change. It helps me keep
track of my money better.”
Students who purchase
meal plans can eat at some of
the most popular BYU eateries

Creamery
With five locations, the Creamery is your place to get BYU’s infamous ice cream, cheeses and
other dairy products. You will also find a variety of groceries.
Creamery on Ninth East 1209 North 900 East
including the Cannon Center,
Subway, Taco Bell, LT Soup &
Salads, Jamba Juice, Sugar &
Spice and more. Students who
want to cook their own food can
purchase specific meal plans
that let them buy groceries at
three BYU creameries.
“I wouldn’t limit meal plans
to freshmen,” Wright said.
“Meal plans help with budgeting. [They] help the students
plan out their day so they know
they’re getting some nutrition. I believe the students that
have meal plans generally eat
healthier, and I believe that the
meal plan choices that we offer
are varied enough to meet the
savings of money and time.”
Although meal plans are
often associated with freshmen, Wright said for every
freshman who purchases a
meal plan, three upperclassmen purchase one.
“Dining services is always
looking at new meal plans to
meet the students’ needs,”
Wright said. “We meet with students to try to determine what
is the best meal plan, because
the majority of students at
BYU that have meal plans are
voluntary. I believe this shows
that BYU offers value to its
students.”

purchase a meal plan, visit dining.byu.edu/mealplans.

Similar to customizable
startpages and web portals
such as My Yahoo or iGoogle,
myBYU allows users to access
campus information on a tailored page that contains personalized portlets and tabs.
Sparked by advances in
technology, myBYU was generated to replace the previous
system, Route Y.
“Route Y has served us well,
but technology has evolved,”
said Michael Brown, director
of Information Technology
Communications. “We now
have the ability to personalize
and customize a little more, so
users are able to control what
they see and look at when they
log in.”
MyBYU consists of four
major parts:
Portlets which are small
self-contained windows that
contain information, links or
services.
Tabs are pages with predefined or customizable collections of portlets.
Settings provides various
ways to customize myBYU.
Banner Area includes links
to the BYU home page, BeSafe,
Help and a search window.
To access myBYU, go to
my.byu.edu click the orange
Sign In button, and log in
using your BYU net ID and
password.
The first time you sign in
to myBYU you will see three
tabs: Home, Tools and News.
Each tab includes a collection
of portlets that have been preselected for you. Users can
create additional tabs with
personalized content.
The Add Content feature of
myBYU takes users to a list
of external material that can
be added to their personalized
homepage.
By default, campus-related
notifications will be located
on the myBYU Home tab. The
Home tab is the only tab that
cannot be renamed, moved
or deleted. Likewise, the “my
announcements” portlet is
the only portlet that cannot
be deleted since the university will be using that portlet
to notify students of important information. Users can
subscribe to targeted campus
notifications by selecting the
“my announcements” link.
“It’s Route Y and more,”
Brown said. “It’s the ability
for us to make more information accessible to our users.
They now have the ability to
personalize their experience
and have more information
than before. It’s a more personalized way to receive campus information.”

Finding jobs for diligently seeking students
By S U L G E E L E E
Since the economy has
dropped, gas prices and
unemployment have gone up.
Regardless of the economic circumstances, most college students still have to find a way to
make ends meet in order to pay
tuition and rent.
BYU students have resources
to find a job either on- or offcampus, and it’s not impossible
to get hired as long as they keep
certain values in mind.
“Be patient and be consistent,” said Collette Blackwelder,
the manager at the Student
Employment Office. “These are
the best two pieces of advice I
can give.”
The Student Employment
Office answers questions and
provides information regarding jobs. They do not find actual
jobs for students, but they help
with the hiring process once
students are hired to on-campus jobs.
“They think we’ll find their
jobs for them, but we don’t,”
said Lauren Harris, a freshman who works as an employment services representative.
“They need to do a lot of searching on their own and get hired.
Then we can start their hiring
process. It needs a lot of hard
work.”
BYU has about 30,000 students and 14,000 employment
opportunities and job openings, but there are off-campus
jobs available, Blackwelder
said.
Harris said even though it
took her about three months
to find her current on-campus
job, she was consistent in putting her resumes in and following up, and most importantly,
she was not discouraged.
Blackwelder’s emphasis on
being patient and consistent
has worked for Harris, but getting a job may take a little more
than that.
“Sometimes it’s just being
at the right place at the right
time,” Blackwelder said. “You
may need to be around the right
people, too.”
Is finding the right type
of job important? Teacher’s
assistants and custodians
are the most employable jobs
on campus, but any job will
give good experience such
as learning, leadership or
working as a team, according
to Blackwelder.
“Work is good work,” she
said. “It’s a good, honest job.”
Some resources for finding
job openings are:
• Jobs.byu.edu for on-campus jobs. This website
enables students to create a resume or an online
profile.
• Monster.com and other job
searching websites for offcampus jobs.
• The classified section in
The Daily Universe or
online at newsnet.byu.edu/
classified for off-campus
jobs.
• The Ad Board on the first
f loor of the Wilkinson
Student Center for offcampus jobs.
Students looking for a job
should:
• Think ahead about what
kind of job they might
want.
• Think about personal
interests and skills.
• Do research on the websites described above
before applying.
• Create a professional-looking resume. Assistance on
interviewing, creating
cover letters and making resume are available at hrs.byu.edu/hr/
students/student-jobs/
applicant-help.
Network with people around
them, such as friends, roommates and professors for available job openings.
Always look for job opportunities. Take resumes to managers or employers of businesses
with possible job openings.
Dress and act professional
when in contact with managers or employers.
Check up on job postings and
contact the business as soon as
possible. First-come is most
likely first-served.
Despite the rising unemployment numbers, Blackwelder
thinks there are still enough
job opportunities available for
students who do their best in
looking for one.
“Many [students] do struggle
to find work,” she said. “But
there is always a need for good,
hard workers.”
The Student Employment
office is in 2024 WSC and also
available at 801-422-3562.

In a young single adult ward,
the Primary program doesn’t
exist, the boys passing the
sacrament are definitely not
deacons, and it’s typical for
Sunday meetings to be held in
the same room as Biology 100.
It’s normal. Welcome to BYU.
Young single adult (YSA)
wards share the basic structure of traditional wards, while
the distinctive demographics
call for some unique practices.
“I remember sacrament
being just completely dead
quiet,” said Josh Zitting, a
senior majoring in nutritional
science.
A congregation lacking children means there won’t be any
babies crying during sacrament meeting. But according
to some BYU students, it also
facilitates a greater unity
within the ward.
“Everyone is the same
age, which makes it easier
to get involved in activities and creates more
fellowshipping,” said
Dustin Bates, a junior
majoring in economics.

new to visiting teaching. But
Outside of Sunday serstudents agree YSA wards are vices, YSA wards also proa great place to learn how the vide for interactions among
Church works by participating students. One way is through
family home evening groups.
Members of each ward are split
into family groups, generally
determined by apartment, to
hold FHE with each other every
Monday night.
Janelle Taysom, a junior
majoring in civil engineering,
said her family home evening
group acts as a support system
while she is at college.
“My family home evening
groups have actually become
my family away from home,”
Taysom said.
YSA wards often change
every semester as members
move in and out, yet the wards
tend to build some of the strongest relationships found at
BYU.
“Make friends in your ward
early,” said Jessica Church,
a junior majoring in public
health. “A lot of your ward
friends will end up being your
closest friends.”
One common practice is holding ward prayer Sunday nights.
During this time, the ward will
typically gather for a thought
before a prayer to start the
week.
Taysom said she enjoys ward
prayer because it allows her to
talk to members of the ward she
typically won’t see during the
school week.
“Ward prayer brings us all
together,” Taysom said, “which
is essentially the purpose of
young single adult wards in
general.”

By M I C H A L A S H
Swapping your siblings for
roommates, your car for a bus
pass and your sleep for study
time can be tough adjustments
to make, but knowing where
things are and how to get there
can help ease the transition
from home to student life.
Understanding Utah
An important part of getting
around Utah is understanding the area. Utah addresses
are determined by a grid system. There is a focal point of
each area that can be considered “0 North, 0 East, 0 South,
0 West.” In Provo, that point
is the intersection of Center
Street and University Avenue.
From there, you can determine how far north or south on
University Avenue and how far
east or west down Center Street
your destination is.
The Y on the mountains is
east of where you are, always.
So long as you know the address
of where you are, the address of
where you’re going and which
way points east, you should be
able to find your way around.
Where can I get groceries?
Knowing where to get food
is a top priority for new students. With meal plans, most
students don’t need to travel
more than a few hundred yards
for most meals. There are four
BYU Creameries on campus:
at the Cannon Center, south of
Heritage Halls on 900 East, east
of the Marriott Center and at
Wyview. In addition, here are
a few local grocery stores:
Macey’s, 1400 N. State St.,
Provo. Within a reasonable
walking distance of most campus and student housing.
Smith’s, 350 N. 200 West,
Provo. Smith’s offers groceries
and merchandise.
Sam’s Club, 1313 S. University
Ave., Provo. A membership
warehouse store.
Walmart, 1355 S. Sandhill
Rd., Orem. Approximately five
miles from campus. Once you
get here, however, you can find
clothing, food and goods galore.
Costco, 648 East 800 South,
Orem. Another membership
warehouse store.
Where do I shop?
Almost all young adults
love, or at least need, to shop.
You may have forgotten to pack
your winter coat or realize that
you have more skirts than
pants and need to stock up for
winter. There are three major
shopping areas that carry all
the products you’ll need.
University Mall, 575 E.
University Parkway, Orem.
Filled with plenty of clothing
stores, food vendors and entertainment opportunities. It’s
easy to get to as well.
Provo Towne Center, 1200
Towne Centre Boulevard,
Provo. Larger than University
Mall, but also a little further
from campus.
Riverwoods Shopping Center,
4801 N. University Ave, Provo.
The Riverwoods isn’t technically a mall, but it does have
clothing outlets, higher-end
restaurants and a movie theater. Brita Harris, a junior
studying travel and tourism
at BYU, said one of her favorite
activities is hanging out at the
Riverwoods.
Where do I work out?
Many students use the student gym, located on the second
floor of the Smith Fieldhouse
(SFH), because it’s free. There
is also a track on the first floor
of the SFH which is open to students in the morning and evening. The outdoor track, north
of Helaman Halls, is open to
students unless the track team
is practicing.
Harris said she enjoys bike
riding for exercise.
University Police offer tips to remain safe, secure and ticket free
By LT. A R N O L D L E M M O N
University Police
Welcome to BYU! My name
is Arnie Lemmon, a lieutenant
with the University Police. BYU
is one of the safest campuses in
the United States. Our department wants each student to
have a great university experience. With everyone’s help, we
can keep our campus a safe living and learning environment.
There are several factors that
contribute to a safe campus.
The most important factor is
our outstanding students, faculty and staff. Another factor
is that BYU has its own police
department. The University
Police Department is a Utah
State certified law enforcement
agency comprised of 29 fulltime and nine reserve police
officers supported by a stateof-the-art 911 dispatch center.
Here are some suggestions to
keep yourself and our campus
community safe:
• Take responsibility for
your own personal safety.
• Read the Campus Security
Report found on our
website, police.byu.edu.
• View the videos, “Shots
Fired” and “Flashpoint,”
on our department’s website. These two videos can
save your life.
• To receive notification by
way of your cell phone,
text messaging and email
of any significant emergency or dangerous situation involving campus,
complete the fields under
“Campus Emergency Alert
Contact” in your myBYU
Personal Information
section.
• Be selective as to whom
you date. Set standards
and communicate those
standards.
• Protect your personal identity and property.
• Stay safe on social network
sites. The Internet makes it
easy for people to misrepresent identities and motives.
• If you are involved in a traffic accident, no matter what
the damage is, notify the
local police department.
• If you become a victim
of any crime occurring on campus, notify
the University Police
15
immediately by calling
801-422-2222.
There are some things that
a few individuals choose to do
which often wrecks their BYU
experience and burdens them
with a criminal record. The
more common ones that we
see are:
• Stealing the personal property of others
at
t he
• S hopl i f t i n g
Bookstore
u n ive r sit y
• S t e a l i n g
property
• Starting fires
• Manufacturing and detonating dry ice and other
types of explosive devices;
severe injuries have
resulted from this type of
activity.
• Trespassing in buildings
and areas that are closed
to the public.
• Stalking; if she doesn’t
want a relationship with
you, “leave me alone”
means exactly that – leave
her alone.
The university has plenty
of parking stalls, but you may
have to walk a short distance.
The upside is all BYU parking
is free. Students with cars need
to register their vehicles on the
University Police website. The
department has an electronic
license plate recognition system that recognizes cars for
the appropriate registration
and parking privileges.
The University Police treats
everyone the same. If anyone
elects to commit a crime on
campus, we utilize all of our
resources in identifying and
prosecuting them.
Come to our department at
2120 JKB and let us take you
on a tour. If you have any law
enforcement or security concerns, questions or suggestions,
please contact me at 801-4225208 or arnold_lemmon@byu.

“Provo is really accessible for
bikers,” she said, adding that
her favorite trails are down
to Utah Lake and up Provo
Canyon. “There are good trails
and lots of beautiful scenery.”
Isdanish Pierce, who lived
in Provo as a student before
getting married and moving
to Orem, said she and her husband also enjoy biking in the
warmer months.
“The Provo River Trail practically runs through campus,”
she said. “It’s a pretty area and
it’s really close by.”
Where do I eat?
Most students find that eating is the easiest way to spend
time with friends. Provo is
notorious for being a frozen
yogurt mecca.
“You can walk half a mile off
campus and run in to at least
eight frozen yogurt places,”
Pierce said, laughing.
Provo also has a great selection of food vendors.

Finding help in a major choice
By M O N I C A C H AV E S
Deciding a major during
freshman year can be an overwhelming task to many students, but BYU students do not
have to make such an important decision alone.
Weston Hawkings, a Middle
East studies/Arabic student,
said he had already chosen his
major before coming to BYU.
“After the Sept. 11 attack, I
knew I wanted to study something about the Middle East,”
Hawkings said. “I was fascinated by Arab culture.”
Hawkings said choosing a
major was easy, but for some
the decision isn’t as easy. Last
year, there were 2,780 students
with undeclared majors. With
more than 130 majors, BYU provides a vast number of options.
Karen Evans, a coordinator
at the University Advisement
Center, said there are several
reasons for such indecision.
“Students may have so many
interests it may be hard for
them to decide just one major,”
Evans said. “Another reason
might be that the student has a
particular major he wants, but
has been denied to it. Others
have a hard time making a
decision, because they think
their major may not lead to the
career they want.”
Evans said BYU students
have numerous resources to
help them. The first one is the
University Advisement Center,
where students can talk to a
trained adviser. She said in
cases where students have an
area in mind, they might talk
to advisers in specific college advisement centers, faculty and professionals. They
may also enroll in a Career
Exploration class (STDEV 117).
Evans said students who are
interested in two majors may
choose one as a major and the
other one as a minor; however,
it is always good to talk to an
adviser.
“Some students take too long
to decide, while others decide
too soon, without exploring
their options,” Evans said.
Vanessa Koch Santos, a
genetics and biotechnology
student, had a counselor help
her follow the best path.
“It took me a year to decide
my major,” she said. “A counselor helped me choose my
emphasis, and helped me plan
my schedule.”
Whatever decision students make, it is important to
know about new BYU policies.
Students with undeclared
majors must declare one before
they reach 75 BYU credits, and
cannot switch majors after
reaching 90 BYU credits without petitioning the university.
Evans said the policies are
“to help the students, not to
punish them.”
“We want students to choose
a major to help them have a
plan, accomplish a goal and
allow other students to come
to the university,” Evans said.

A powerful card: your BYU ID
By M A D I S O N S M I T H
A new backpack full of fresh pencils and paper
presses against the shirt you’ve been waiting to
wear for weeks as you walk to your first college
class. Day one at BYU is going great, until you
decide to use your meal plan in the Cougareat, do
laundry, hit the gym or check out a book.
What’s missing from your college experience?
You forgot your BYU Signature ID Card: the key
to many campus amenities.
To acquire an ID card,
students can visit the
ID Center in room
2310 of the Wilkinson
Student Center, near
the Information Desk
and Jamba Juice. A
driver’s license or other
photo ID is required.
Make sure to meet dress
and grooming standards; the ID card photo
is often the first impression BYU students make on a professor or
potential employer.
“The BYU ID card has two main functions,”
said Rachel Engler, an employee of the ID Center,
in an email. “[To] identify [the] cardholder as a
current member of the campus community [and]
to provide university service areas with a quick
and easy way to identify a cardholder’s role and
associated entitlements.”
Some of those entitlements include: accessing a meal plan at dining services such as the
Cannon Center or a BYU Creamery, checking out
books from the Harold B. Lee Library or gaining entrance to the Testing Center and campus
athletic facilities.
“When a cardholder’s ID number is read at
a service location, the cardholder’s record is
accessed,” Engler said. “This record tells the
service area what services or entitlements
are available to the cardholder. For example,
when your ID card is swiped at the library,
TRADITIONS OF THE
your library record identifies you as a current
student, entitled to check out books. When you
swipe your card at a dining services location,
your signature card and meal plan record tells
the cashier that you have sufficient funds in your
signature card or meal plan account to pay for
your purchase.”
The card also provides access to a debit signature account students can use at campus amenities like vending machines, laundry facilities,
the Bookstore and print and copy centers.
Jared Brown, a freshman
from Houston, majoring in
pre-communications, said
he uses his ID card at the
gym every other day and for
laundry because the card
gets a discount.
“It’s all in one place; it’s
like a debit card, really,”
Brown said. “You only
have to keep track of one
card.”
ID cards provide student identification, which can
be useful for student services like purchasing textbooks at the Bookstore. Student status
sometimes has extra benefits as well, such as discounts from businesses off-campus and admittance to BYU football games with All-Sport Pass
tickets.
“I sometimes use it to check out movies and
watch them in the viewing room at the library,”
said Sierra Smith, 17, a freshman from Houston.
“It’s super cool because it’s free movies at the
library.”
If a student loses an ID card, the ID Center
recommends deactivating the card to prevent
unauthorized use and waiting two weeks for
someone to turn it in. If the ID doesn’t turn up,
a replacement costs $10. New students should
also be aware the ID card doesn’t last forever. For
most part- or full-time students, it needs renewal
after around two years.
For more information, contact the ID center online at signaturecard.byu.edu or at
801-422-3866.
Whoosh, Cecil
In recent years, a tradition has
developed amongst the student
section at men’s basketball games.
After a BYU player successfully
makes a basket during a free throw
attempt, students simultaneously
yell, “Whoosh, Cecil!” and point
to President Cecil O. Samuelson’s
regular seat opposite the student
section. During the 2010–11
season, President Samuelson
started to acknowledge
students’ exclamations by
giving them a thumbs up.

Staying within the circle of the Honor Code
By S T E V E N B A K E R
Director, Honor Code Office
It’s a pleasure and an honor
for me to live and work in this
great community where every
member has made a commitment and signed a pledge to
live on his or her honor. I feel
strongly that most of the students here at BYU are striving
to honor their commitment.
The Honor Code and the students who sign a pledge to live
by it make BYU unique. One of
the main reasons most students
chose to come to BYU is so they
could live, work and study with
people who share their values.
They enjoy being in an environment that is conducive to learning and personal growth. This
is a marvelous benefit for all of
us at BYU.
The Honor Code is not a law
but a set of guidelines distilled
from principles of the gospel.
Living by the Honor Code is
about living in a community.
The Honor Code is only as
strong and effective as a person
individually and collectively
makes it.
When we chose to reap the
benefits of living in a community, we also chose to accept
the responsibility of preserving that community and those
who live in it. We have to be
willing not only to voluntarily
obey the community’s standards ourselves, but to help
others understand their role
and encourage them to also
be contributing community
members.
The Honor Code Office is not
alone in preserving and sustaining the Honor Code and
the resulting atmosphere. It
is a collective effort of roommates and friends, an army of
good bishops and the willing
members of the BYU commu-
because they are forced to, but
because it brings them great
blessings.
I have been the director of
the Honor Code Office for more
than 10 years. I know the overall community of students has
integrity and character. How
do I know this? The students
I work with show me almost
every day. The Honor Code
is not about enforcement. It
is really about encouraging
students to honor their agreement and reap the benefits from
doing so.
One of my daughters once
asked me if she had to go to
BYU. She wasn’t sure she
agreed with all of the dress and
grooming standards. I told her
she did not have to attend BYU.
I also told her that if she decided
to attend, I would expect her
to do her best to honor her
own commitment. I reminded
her that attending BYU is not
about rules and regulations;
it is really about honoring our
Daily Universe Photo commitments.

How much do you know about
the BYU Honors Program,
what Jeffrey R. Holland called
the “crown jewel” of higher
education at Brigham Young
University? Here are a few facts
to dispel the myths swirling
around the program.
Myth 1: A student must complete an extensive application
process to be accepted into the
Honors Program.
Busted: No application for
Honors exists; any student can
go to the Honors Advisement
Center and fill out a form to
declare their intent to graduate with Honors. However, you
need to maintain a 3.5 GPA and
fulfill the Honors Program
requirements to graduate with
Honors (see honors.byu.edu).
Myth 2: Honors classes are
extremely rigorous and not
worth the extra effort.
Busted: Most Honors students say their Honors classes
are intense but easier than, or
just as rigorous, as their other
classes. Ryan Greenburg from
Georgia is a strong advocate of
the Honors program.
“[T]here is definitely more
work in Honors classes but it
is easier because most of the
work … [is] pertinent and interesting,” Greenburg said. “I
feel these classes successfully

eliminate mediocrity – it is far
more stressful to jump through
a series of arbitrary hoops and
massive memorizing of random
facts than it is … to internalize
complicated ideas and assignments and then form my own
opinions and ideas about them.
I absolutely love the Honors
Program’s style and ambition to create a rich learning
environment.”
Myth 3: Only a few Honors
classes are offered every semester, and those are extra sections
for General Education classes.
Busted: In Fall 2010, 111 sections of Honors classes were
offered and 19 departments
and schools across campus
offered Honors classes in
Winter 2011. Many different
departments, from Exercise
Science or Statistics to Dance,
offer Honors sections, which
means classes are available
to every student and in almost
every discipline. In addition to
the large number of course sections available, Honors offers a
variety of unique classes whose
subjects vary from figuring
out how to escape off a desert
island with limited resources
in Honors 259, “The Daedalus
Project,” to studying how film
portrays mental disorders in
Honors 261, “Movie Madness.”

Daily Universe offers front row ticket
opportunities for fanatic students
By J E N N A C A S O N
What would you do for the
chance to cheer on BYU football, men’s basketball and
men’s volleyball from the best
seat in the house? Fanatics
across campus answer this
question in public, displaying
their Cougar Pride in attempts
to obtain coveted front row
tickets.
“Front Row Fanatics is a fun
way for The Daily Universe to
reward devoted fans of BYU
athletics and provides a nice
break in the middle of the day
for students to have friendly,
competitive fun,” said Shayne
Durrant, advertising director
for The Daily Universe.
Provided by The Daily
Universe, Front Row Fanatics
competitions are held in the
Wilkinson Student Center just
days before most football, men’s
basketball and men’s volleyball
home games.
Cameron Lam, a junior from
Palos Verdes, Calif., won front
row tickets to last year’s BYU
vs. Utah men’s basketball
game. Lam was ecstatic after
making the ticket-winning shot
in a Front Row Fanatics’ shooting competition.
“I think it’s amazing how the
program gives back to the students and lets them have fun at
the same time,” Lam said.
Event competitions range
from relay races using pizza
boxes and pingpong balls to
speed texting contests. The
dates and times of events
are announced in The Daily
Universe.
“We have an awesome student section, and being at the
very front of it was simply
amazing,” said Katlin Ball,
another winner of Front Row
Fanatics. “I am so glad The
Daily Universe gives us these
chances to win front row tickets. I will definitely be standing
in line to win more tickets next
year.”

then you’ll
be able to
spend
your money on more important opportunities and experiences instead of wasting
it on frivolous things that

After budgets have been
made and money divided out,
consider Israelsen’s question
to his students: Why does everything have to cost?
“I ask my students to consider Walden Pond and only spend
money on crucial things for a

people discover it’s a better

Parents Weekend 2011
October 21 –23
As new freshmen pack up
and leave the financial comfort
of their parents’ homes, they
quickly find out one thing: living costs money.
Between rent, utilities, food
and random expenses such
as makeup remover and dish
soap, many new college students don’t realize the kind of
expenses they will have.
Fortunately, at BYU there
are many resources for students needing assistance adjusting to financial independence.
Professor Craig Israelsen
teaches family finance at BYU
and applies managing money
to running a race.
“Money is kind of like energy,” he said. “In a marathon, for
example, sometimes runners
that aren’t accustomed to a
race start running too fast and
a few miles into it, they run out
of gas. Without planning a budget people either get lucky and
overspend, or, more often, they
don’t get lucky because there is
just so much to buy – so many
toys.”
Lindsey Poch, a junior enrolled in Israelsen’s family
finance class, has applied the
importance of budgeting to her
own life.
“It really opens your eyes
to living on your own and the
expense of things,” Poch said.
“When you have to pay for it
all, you’re more careful with
your money, while when you
