That Mystic Mistletoe
What conquers death, brings peace to warring countries,
possesses healing powers, scares away demons, leads you to
treasure, prevents fires, and (miracles of all miracles), gets you a
kiss. You guessed it, mistletoe. Oh, I guess you got it by reading
the title. But how did all these mistletoe beliefs convert to
just a kiss?
Well, the druids used mistletoe in human sacrifices to make barren
cattle fertile. The Celts believed a goddess named Frita brought
her son back to life with mistletoe after he was killed. Her tears
formed the berries of the plant. The Norse made their warring
leaders kiss under it to make up. So, once Christianity became the
religion of Europe, these traditions were repackaged and given
a modern rap for the new holiday, Christmas. The belief was that
you could score a kiss just by standing beneath it. Crazy, huh?
Now, we only run when we see it.

I’m all about curling up with some hot chocolate (or a hot date) and

3. A Christmas Story- Remember this one? You’ll shoot your eye
out? While it may stray away from the magic of Santa and his
elves, it teaches the meaning of family and finding that special

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas- This Tim Burton creation
features a...ghoulish approach to the holidays.

good job with the remake, but you can’t beat this classic cartoon. It
doesn’t matter if your heart is three-times too small, by the end of
this movie you’ll be in the spirit of things!
8. A Christmas Carol- What would Christmas be like without a
proper rendition of Charles Dickens’ classic novel? A movie about
the lessons of living in the spirit of Christmas everyday of the year,
one can’t help but watch the characters and ask: am I a Cratchet, or
a cranky Scrooge?
9. Miracle on 34th Street- A movie for all those who doubt the
existence of Kris Kringle himself.
10. Elf- OK, no seasonal movie list created after 2003 would be
complete without Elf! How can you not love Ferrell’s portrayal of a
human living an elf’s life?

NEED GIFT IDEAS FOR
YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE?
Five Gifts for the Guys:
1. Cologne: Thereʼs nothing as appealing as an
alluring scent.
2. Shirt: Sounds lame, but itʼs true. Dress ʻem in something
that they know youʼll like.
3. Hat/beanie: Guys love their headwear.
4. Tickets to something: To a Jazz game, movie, or a
concert, just something to do together.
5. Fleece blanket: Itʼs inexpensive, just buy the material,
make some slits, and tie them together. But itʼll keep him
(and you) warm for the winter.
Five Gifts for the Ladies:
1. Burned CD: Pick her
favorite songs. Itʼs not just
to be cheap, but thoughtful.
2. Her favorite childhood
movie: Shows you
listen to her.
3. Your favorite book:
Inscribe it with why you
love the book.
4. A photo album: Have it
be a total surprise!!
5. Coupon book: Make it
out for things that youʼll
do for her like, “Redeemable for dinner to Olive
Garden,” or “Good for one
foot massage.”
Some general tips: just listen to each other. Give
them something theyʼd really want but would never
get for themselves. And if all else fails, ask a roommate for a good idea. Just put some thought into it.

If you want a date, you have to ask
The
Date
Doctor
Guys, are you sick and tired of having
nothing to do on Friday nights? Does guys’
night out seem to happen more frequently
than your dating life? Have you mastered
every level of the latest video game?
By Don Osmond
And you’re wondering why your
love life sucks? Duh! Isn’t it obvious?
I have received a barrage of e-mails
from guys complaining about not
having a date for Friday night. Well,
why don’t you try asking a girl out?
But, you might be thinking, “She
would never go out with me.” You’re
right, if you never ask. Do you really
think that some gorgeous babe is going to ring your doorbell tomorrow
and life will be perfect? I don’t think
so! Get off your butt, put the video
games away and get out there.
You are living in the land of plenty;
get involved where you can. There are
hundreds of clubs and associations to
join. You might even try visiting with
8 Schooled
girls in your classes or at work.
Some of the girls I talked with
agreed that chitchatting with guys at
work or school makes the day go better. However, they suggest keeping it
to a minimum. They have important
things to do. And currently, you’re
not at the top of the list. But with
persistence (not annoyance) she’ll
begin to notice you, and maybe stop
to talk.
Once you have built a rapport with
her, and you’re on friendly terms ask
for her number, unless you are “Rico
Suave” and you’ve already got it.
At this point, timing is everything.
Whatever you do, don’t call her that
night. Pretend you have a life and
you are too busy right now to call.
You have got to build the anticipation. You want her to be excited when
you call. Wait at least two days. But
don’t forget; you told her you would
call. So don’t put it off so long. (I’ve
done that. Not cool.)
When you do call her. Talk to her.
Engage in some conversation. Don’t
just call to set up the date. She would
like to get to know your personality. I don’t need to give you the details of the conversation you should
have. Just be you. There is no need to
pretend that you are someone you’re
not. Otherwise you’ll have to keep the
façade up as long as you know her;
if you get married that could be for a
long time.

andy SHELTON
By Don Osmond
Local Bands break out
In 1997, Andy Shelton became enthralled
with the music of the Dave Matthews
Band. This sudden infusion of interest sparked within him a desire to write
and play music. In no time Shelton had
purchased a guitar and music paper, and
began the creative process.
Even though he has never taken a guitar
lesson, with an ear for pitch and a drive
for perfection, Shelton wrote song after
song entering every songwriter’s competition he could find. He has received various first place and honorable mention
awards in competitions like the Billboard
Songwriting Contest and Great American
Song Contest.

John Mayer and Harry Connick Jr.,”
Shelton remarks with a smile.
Now, at 27, Shelton’s percussive acoustic
jazz/folk style is complimented by his
unique, strong voice and award winning
conversational story-like lyrics. This
independent artist’s music has proven
solid, but he’s just getting warmed up.
As a solo artist over the last three years,
Shelton has made television concert appearances on Fox 13’s “Good Day Utah,”
and Channel 4’s “Good Things Utah.”
Currently, Shelton is completing his first
full album with an expected release date
for the first part of December. “I am really excited about this project,” Shelton
says. “It is something I have wanted to do
for a long time.”
He has entertained thousands upon
many stages around the state including
the NuSkin World of Ice venue during
the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Provo
Freedom Festival, and the famed Egyptian Theatre in Park City. He has even
opened for the internationally recognized
Ryan Shupe at the South Jordan Street
Festival.
This CD is replete with original ideas and
raw talent. He says it is the culmination
of a lot of hard work and some outside
inspiration. “Most of my ideas come from

Partyin’ In
Provo
By Rae Harris
There couldn’t be a better time to
party in Provo than on New Year’s Eve.
Every year Provo hosts First Night, a
celebration which welcomes in the New
Year with plenty of food, fun and fireworks. There’s something for everyone
at this giant party and it’s your one stop
for music, dancing, comedy, and tons
of other entertainment. You definitely
don’t want to miss it!
First night involves numerous events
and activities that are held around
Provo, centered mostly on University
Avenue and Center Street. The cost is
only $3 if you pre-purchase your entrance passport and $5 if purchased at
the event. Your passport gets you in to
many fun-filled activities as well as getting you discounted admission for ice
skating at Seven Peaks.
The festivities begin at 5 p.m. and start
off with family-oriented activities. Activity tents will be set up, each themed
as a different country. So your family
can “travel the world”, complete with a
stamp in your passport for each place
you visit. Passports can then be entered
into a drawing for various prizes.
The late evening includes activities
for teens and adults of all ages. The fun
will tentatively include video karaoke,
concerts in the Provo Tabernacle, and
performances by various college clubs.
The main stage entertainment will include performances by various local
acts and will feature the band, “Early
California.” You can also use your passport for admission to Comedy Sportz.
There will be plenty of food from various restaurants and vendors, although
the cost of food is separate from the admission fee. According to First Night’s
Provo City liaison, JaNel Grim, some of
the most popular events are the dances.
This year’s event will include two dances, most likely a country dance and a
top 40s-style dance.
There are also plans for a “Resolution
Lane”, which would aim to help you
with all those tricky New Year’s resolutions. Resolve to work out more? Get
some tips from Gold’s Gym? Want to
be more active? Try the rock climbing wall. Promise yourself you’d finally
learn to dance? Get a dance lesson. The
exact activities are still tentative, but
are sure to be tons of fun.
And what New Year’s party would be
complete without fireworks? They will
go off every hour on the hour.
First Night is definitely the place to be
on New Year’s Eve. So don’t miss out!
And have a happy New Year!

New Years Eve Hot Spot
By Traci D. Marinos
ooking for another hip option for a
New Year’s Eve all-nighter? We have the
party for you! The McKay Events Center
at UVSC will be hosting the party of the
year!
The festivities begin at 8 p.m. and continue until 6 a.m. There will be something
there for everyone. If dancing is your
thing, there will be seven DJ’s on three
floors and a different type of music playing
on each floor. Pick your floor to suit your
mood: Hip-Hop, ‘80s/House or Country.
If you are more into the live bands, there
will be seven bands performing throughout the night.
Finally, if you’re just in the mood to kick
back and be entertained, eight comedians
along with hypnotists and magicians will
take the stage. You can also chill out in
the Love Sac Lounge where there will be
tons of food and a juice bar. Eat as much
as you can before you have to start that
diet resolution you set for 2006!
You and your friends can get tickets now
to the party of the year! Tickets are only
$15 and can be purchased at OZZ Fun
Center 818-9000 or at Parkway Crossing
Apartments 431-0000. See you there!!
If dancing doesn’t do it for you, you can
check out the Tahitian Fire and Knife
Dancers – just make sure you don’t sit too
close! There will also be Pro BMX bikers
and skateboarders showing their skills on
a giant 16’ indoor vertical pipe!! Maybe
you could try it out for yourself -- it’s
harder than it looks.
On December 3rd from 12-6 p.m.
come help kids have a
Merry Christmas by donating toys to
the TOYS FOR TOTS and checking out
The Annual Motorcycle Run for Utah
County which ends at
Joseph Patrick Salon at
212 S. State in Orem
There will be hot chocolate,
doughnuts, prizes and lots of fun.

How to have Shopping
a Christmas
Vacation in
Utah
By Esther Harris
Photos by Teagan Tanner
Bummed out cause you
have to spend Christmas
here? No more worries.
There are tons of cool
things to do during the
holiday season. So get
your calendar out and
start planning the best
Christmas vacation ever!
How would you like to take a Christmas
cruise on the Provo River? It is like a hayride,
but on a boat. You’ll see Christmas lights, holiday
scenery and not to mention Santa Claus. Tickets are only $5 a person. The Polar Express train
ride should also be a memorable, fun activity
as it takes you through the Provo Canyon. The
Hogle Zoo is decked out in lights for the Christmas season. The Hogle Zoo also hosts a breakfast
with Santa, which is cool cause how many of your
friends can say they spent their holiday vacation
chillin’ with Santa?
If you love plays and concerts, you are in
the right place. The Hale Centre Theatre is performing A Christmas Carol during the month of
December. You can also see “It’s a Wonderful
Life” at the Off Broadway Theatre. The Utah Regional Ballet is coming to UVSC and performing
The Nutcracker. There are several events hap-
12 Schooled
Nativity
Temple
Square
Zoo
pening at the Salt Lake Conference Center.
Savior of the World, Bells on Temple Square
Christmas Concert, and other Christmas programs are playing in December. These classic plays will definitely get you in the holiday
spirit.
If sports are what get you in the festive
mood, then don’t forget that the Utah Jazz and
the Utah Grizzlies both have home games the
week before Christmas. Go cheer on the team
and have a great time! Also at the Delta Center
is the Larry H. Miller Christmas Sing-Along.
Tickets are free! So round up your friends or
take a date, and get out of the house for some
Christmas fun.
Gardner Village, located in West Jordan, is a great place to go. They have a live
nativity with real people and animals! The
village is decorated with elfish figurines that
would make great pictures in your scrapbook.
Maybe you are the practical economical kind... aka cheap. Whatever you like to
call it, you can always check out the Christmas
lights at Temple Square. Whether it is your
first time or your 100th time, the Christmas
lights on Temple Square are a beautiful sight.
There are also performances at the various
buildings at Temple Square. The Christmas
lights at Thanksgiving Point are also a sight to
see. Spanish Fork has a Festival of Lights as
well. Go have fun without spending a dime!
Shopping is a fun way to spend your
winter break. Check out the outlet stores at
Park City or go to downtown Salt Lake for a
great shopping excursion. Get some gifts for
your friends, family and a little something for
yourself. Utah is also famous for skiing. Go
check out the slopes and enjoy the snow.
If you have heard one too many Christmas carols and need a break, U2 is coming
to the Delta Center December 17th. Unwrap
your Christmas gift early and go to the concert. Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is being
performed by the Pioneer Theatre Company,
which can give you a break from Christmas
overload but still something fun to do.
There are tons of events going on. You
can Google on the internet to find out the information of anything going on this holiday
season. So don’t sit at home, bored as can be,
envying your friend who is going to the Bahamas. Get out and have a great, memorable
Christmas vacation! S

Project
3
Style
By Russ Taylor
Check out the Process of Going From Factory to Custom!!!
1)
1. We started with the tint,
which drastically changes
the appearance of the car
(since it was done in the
magazine we had to go
legal in the front
windows...dang).
We then added a simple
rear spoiler which is a
subtle touch of style.
Welcome to the last segment of Project 3. Through this
three part series we have gone from a stock Mazda 3 to a mean street
machine. In our previous issues we have pumped up the sound with
a Sony Xplod system, dropped in a new AEM intake and Magnaflow
exhaust and Enkei rims and tires with our performance section and
now finally our Style segment.
This issue Automotive Restyling Associates of Provo (A.R.A.)
has taken a car that you see on the road to a car that you totally checkout on the road. “One of the greatest things that a person can do is put
their own style into their car,” says Bill Shields of A.R.A.
2. Next came plasma
headlights, a wind deflector and a stubby antenna.
2)
We then went inward to
take a look at the interior
of the car. This is where it
gets fun.
3)
4)
before
3. A MOMO red Pedal set
is something easy to do
and cool to see.
4. From there we installed
an aluminum dash kit,
which did wonders to the
inside of the car. Interior
black lights were used
to accent the aluminum
dash kit (it looks sweet at
night). In the works is a
complete revamp of the
interior with two tone
black and grey leather
with red baseball
stitching.
*
after
And with these final mods we
have a complete restyle
courtesy of A.R.A. Now the
Mazada 3 will Arrive in Style.
Look for the next issue in
January when we will be
hooking up another ride.

What: UVSC Women’s Basketball
Coming from Paso Robles, Calif., this 6’5”
freshman is the tallest on the Wolverine
squad by four inches. She brings height and
dimension to the team, something they’ll
need as they face high caliber teams this
year. She says UVSC is a good fit for her because they are both inexperienced with a lot
of potential.
Smith believes in hard work. In high school,
she sat the bench until her junior year when
she moved in with her uncle so that she could
play for a competitive club team. Her favorite thing about basketball is that it requires
so much both physically and mentally. She
enjoys being extended past her limits when
faced with a daunting task.

What: BYU Women’s Basketball
Hailing from Vineyard, UT, this 5’10” sophomore is fulfilling a lifetime dream of playing
basketball at BYU. Playing in Europe this
past summer has sparked a growing desire
to compete, maybe even moving up to the

Gillespie feels like the chemistry of this
year’s team will be fun to watch. She loves
the thrill and excitement of the court on
game day. Some games she says to watch
for are Utah, UCLA, and New Mexico.
Gillespie praises the coaching staff of BYU’s
team, callin0g them the “five most knowledgeable, skilled, level-headed coaches in
the league.” They care not only for the game,
but also for the players. Combined with the
great staff and a tight-knit team, these girls
hope to yield a winning season.

Unofficial College Hockey
The crowds at valley hockey games buzz with anticipation. As the players stretch and skate, fans clamor together,
making predictions and loudly joking with their neighbors. People step over benches to shake hands, meet new friends,
and try their luck at a little flirting. Coaches, dressed in suits and ties, pace the floors behind their teams, watching,
waiting for the game to start. Finally, the announcer’s voice booms over the megaphone and then the real party begins. There are flying pucks, flying sticks and flying players. The audience shouts at every save, screams at every pass,
and yells at every goal. People are chanting, singing, and dancing on the bleachers. Quickly becoming one of the most
popular sports in the valley, unofficial college hockey is an event meant to be experienced firsthand.

UVSC’s Unofficial Team: The Wolverines
BYU’s Unofficial Team: The IceCats
Although UVSC has had some form of official hockey club for a while,
this is the first season the Wolverines have come together to formally
compete. The first game of the season brought a huge crowd to the arena. Since then, the Wolverines have taken on a daunting schedule of
games, both at home and away.
After narrowly missing a chance at last year’s Championship National
Tour, the IceCats have dedicated this year to getting back on track. Recently, the team has focused on re-building and becoming, once again,
a top team in the region.
The Coach
Formerly an IceCats coach, Matt Beaudry thought he was going to
sit the season out. But, then the Wolverines beckoned, and the coach
found himself heading up the inaugural season of UVSC’s first unofficial
team.
The Players
Wolverine teammates come from all around the continent and pay hundreds of dollars to participate in the game. Beaudry believes his players
are warriors. and Although the team has seen more losses than wins this
season, he is proud of his players. “Everything’s a first,” says the coach.
“Every guy on this team has his hand in setting a team record.”
The Fans
“One thing about hockey is that the fans are nuts,” says Beaudry. “It’s a
fun game to watch.” Wolverine Eddie Bonelli agrees. “The atmosphere
and enthusiasm of the school make it a great experience,” he says. While
most fans are UVSC students, there are an increasing number of community members and sponsors supporting the game.
Successes
This season the Wolverines brought home the prized Little Muddy
Championship trophy. The new team took the tournament by storm in
a marathon round of five games in four days. “We were holding the team
together with gum, Band-Aids, and tape,” said the coach, “but the guys
gutted it out.”
The Coach
After seven years with the IceCats, Ed Gantt accepted the position of
head coach this season. Originally lured into coaching by his hockeyplaying students, this BYU psychology professor has been with the team
through thick and thin and hopes to see them make it in the Nationals.
The Players
Many of the IceCats have been with the team for years and share a deep
sense of comradery. Mark Ostebo is in his fifth year of playing. Although
the school does not fund the team and the players must pay hundreds
of dollars to keep the season going, Ostebo believes that school pride
keeps the team together. “It’s unofficial on paper,” he says, “but it feels
like a school team.”
The Fans
Hundreds of fans fill the bleachers as IceCat games gain popularity.
Gantt attributes the filling stands to the excitement of the game. “It’s a
blast,” he said. “It’s a wide-open, fast game with a party atmosphere.”
Challenges
After losing players to graduation and LDS missions, this season’s record is not so stellar. “We need to get some confidence back,” says the
coach. “We’ve lost our cocky swagger a bit.”
Successes
Despite a series of losses, the IceCats did meet one important goal this
season. “We beat Utah State,” says Gantt, “so that makes us winners no
matter what happens.”

Schooledʼs Ski
and Snowboard
Guide
By Jamie Littlefield
Itʼs that time of year again. Time to snap
on your skis, break out your board, and
take advantage of the greatest snow on
earth. Home to the top-rated
resort in North America, the host of the
2002 Olympic Winter Games, and the
fifth-largest retreat in the nation, Utah
is the perfect place to enjoy the slopes
this winter. Whether youʼve skied the
French Alps or have never stepped foot
on a run, youʼre sure to find satisfaction
at one of the stateʼs world-renowned
snow parks. But, before you drop the
dough for a lift ticket or season ski pass,
find out what each resort has to offer.
In addition to scouring the state for the
best terrain, weʼve asked Lorin Bird,
president of Utah Valleyʼs SnowRiders
Club, to share his insider tips for
making the most of the mountain.
20 Schooled
The Canyons
(www.thecanyons.
com). As the largest ski resort in Utah,
there’s something for everyone in The Canyon’s 3,500 acres of magic powder. The
Canyons offers eight separate mountains
with over 140 runs and is one of the five
biggest resorts in the nation. Their awardwinning terrain park is a favorite among
locals and offers challenges for all levels of
riders. Advanced skiers have ample opportunity to test their expertise as 42 percent
of the resort is rated black diamond. Beginners can take terrain park lessons and attend other snow sport clinics.
Pros: largest resort in Utah, most
runs
Cons: tends to get icy
Insider Tip: “I suggest sticking to the edges,
like Day Break and Super Condor, plus Ninety
Nine 90 for the experts, because there is little
congestion. This is the resort to hit for all the
major holidays, so that you are skiing and not
waiting in line.”
Park City
(www.parkcitymountain.com). Host of the
2002 Olympic snowboard events, Park City
Mountain Resort claims a whopping 3,300
acres of snow-covered goodness. Dedicated skiers and snowboarders enjoy access to
more than 100 runs, seven peaks, and nine
bowls. For beginners, Park City offers les-
sons from professional ski and snowboard instructors.
For seasoned snowboarders, the mountain provides a
super pipe and three terrain parks. When you’re ready
for a break, ride their town lift straight into Park City’s
old town and check out the quaint shops and restaurants. Then, pop on your skis and ride the lift back to
the trails.
Pros: tons of runs, snowboarding friendly,
easy access to recreation
Cons: tends to get icy
Insider tip: “Since it is quite a trip to get to it, the back
bowls of Park City will stay fresh and untouched even two
days after a big dump. If you are going on a highly trafficked day, skip everything and go to the back bowls.”
Sundance Resort
(www.sundanceresort.com). Founded by Robert Redford, Sundance Resort is a hip hangout for snow sport
enthusiasts. With 450 skiable acres and 41 runs, Sundance skiers and snowboarders can enjoy the snow
without the long lines. Professionals provide lessons
and workshops for beginners, while pros tackle double black diamonds and participate in performance
ski labs.
Pros: not crowded, closest to the valley
Cons: fewest runs, smaller ski area
Insider Tip: “On a powder day, Sundance is a blast, with
the upper chutes being a lot of fun. There is some very
steep terrain off to the northwest, toward Aspen Grove.”

Let us help you find the perfect ski resort!
Want to ski all season?
Before you fork out the big bucks
for a lift pass, follow our hot tips
to help you get the most for your
money:
• Buy early. Buying your pass preseason is your best bet for saving.
• Take advantage of student
discounts. Many resorts offer special pricing for students of local
colleges. If you buy through your
college ski club, you may be able
to save even more.
• Buy through a club. Local organizations such as the SnowRiders
club negotiate to get members
better prices on passes.
• Use your resident status. Some
resorts offer discounts for Utah
locals.
• Ski midweek. Passes for midweek and non-holiday skiing can
be hundreds less.
• Ski in the afternoon. Some
resorts even offer free skiing on
certain lifts after peak hours.
• Consider super passes. If you
plan on buying season passes at
more than one resort, look into
super passes that allow access to
multiple resorts.
• Buy your gear at ski swaps.
Instead of renting equipment or
buying it at pricey sporting goods
shops, check out resort ski swaps
to find used equipment at discounted prices.
Alta
(www.alta.com). Ski free after 3
p.m. on Alta’s Sunnyside lift. Or,
check out their 54 more advanced
runs on 2,200 acres of terrain.
Beginners can get a trial run with
discounted lift passes and improve
their skills through Alta’s top-rated
ski school. Advanced enthusiasts
enjoy off-trail snowcat skiing at the
top of Grizzly Gulch. During the
weekends, athletes of all levels are
invited to participate in recreational gate racing. Alta is a ski-only resort, so leave those boards behind.
Pros: ski free after 3 p.m.-great beginner discount
Cons: no snowboarding, slow
lifts
Insider Tip: “If the skier or boarder
is very advanced, I recommend Devil’s castle along with Albion Basin. If
you go to the last parking lot, which is
called Albion Basin, then take its slow
lifts up, one after the other, to the top
of Albion Basin, and take the supreme
lift, there are some great chutes, bowls,
tree skiing, and cliffs.”
Deer Valley Resort
(www.deervalley.com). Voted the
#1 ski resort in North America by
SKI readers, Deer Valley sells the
most expensive lift tickets in Utah.
But, with their 90 professionallydesigned runs on 1,750 acres of
sparkling snow, the experience may
be worth the price tag. Receive topnotch customer service through
their Skier Services, which will set
up lift tickets, ski rentals, and everything else you need with a phone
call. Advanced patrons can try out
black diamonds and cross country
skiing, while beginners stick to the
small slopes and ski school.
Pros: rated #1, five-star service
Cons: most expensive, no
snowboarding
Insider Tip: “On a powder day, I highly recommend Daly Bowl and the Daly
chutes for expert skiers. Less experienced skiers can have a lot of fun on
Flagstaff’s five lifts.”
Snowbird
(www.snowbird.
com). With the longest ski and
snowboard season in Utah, Snowbird lets sportsmen get more from
the mountain. Enjoy 2,500 skiable
acres and more than 89 runs in this
winter wonderland. Beginners can
practice the basics with their mountain school’s ski and snowboarding
instruction while experts take advantage their terrain park and superpipe. Snowbird’s board park is a
favorite among local snowboarding
enthusiasts.
Pros: longest season, intense
board park
Cons: often crowded
Insider Tip: “The tram takes you to
the top in seven minutes; from there,
you have one of the best bowls of any
resort in Utah, the Cirque. Heading
down this, you get 3,000 vertical feet;
it is continuous and shaded. The snow
here stays so fresh, even two and three
days later.”
Brighton
(www.brightonresort.com). Bring
a youngster along when you visit
family-friendly Brighton Resort.
Kids under 10 always ski free on
Brighton’s 66 runs and 1050 acres
of snow sport landscape. Beginners
can purchase workshop packages
while more advanced sportsmen
give their “Endless Winter” run a
try. Night skiing is another favorite of Brighton patrons. With 200
lighted acres and 22 runs, Brighton
offers the most accessible night terrain in the state.
Pros: kids ski free, night skiing, fresh powder
Cons: lots of little ones underfoot
Insider Tip: “Brighton is very popular among the boarders because it has
great parks and night skiing.” S

Tips for a Great
Ski Season
By Jeremy Holm
The license plates don’t say that this state has
the greatest snow on earth for the fun of it. Julie
Andrews was only half-right. The hills may be
alive with the sound of music, but the resorts
will soon be alive with the sounds of skis and
snowboards shredding up the slopes! It’s almost
time to take those day-long breaks, get your
head out of the books, grab your gear, and head
up the mountain.
I spoke with Alice Anderson of Holladay, Utah,
for some tips for those of us eagerly awaiting the
white stuff to fall. Alice has taught at the Deer
Valley Resort, in Park City, for several years. She
is PSIA Level 1 Certified, and has been an avid
skier her entire life.
SM: Alice, how can you make sure you are
using the right equipment?
“You have to be safe. That’s the most important thing, in my
opinion. If you’re still skiing on your mom’s old Élans from 1985,
then it’s time to look into something new.
“First off, let’s chat about skis. Buying new skis is like shopping
for a new car, or new 3-inch stilettos. You’ve got to do your research. Go to the local Barnes and Noble and pick up some ski
magazines, surf around on Internet ski message boards, do some
Google searches. It’s important to get skis that are meant for your
ability.
“If you’re a brand new skier on the bunny hill, you don’t want
a ski meant for jumping off cliffs in the backcountry. Once you’ve
got some ideas in mind, it’s time to talk to some experts: the ski
techs. Go and visit some ski shops, my favorite being Sports Den
in Foothill Village, and Christie Sports in Snowbird. The employees
there will work with you to get you the best skis possible. Now,
skis aren’t cheap. But consider it an investment. A good pair of
skis can last you a couple of seasons with proper care. Look for
skis that are on sale, like the previous year’s models – often times
they’re not much different than this years, just different graphics
- and packages – skis and bindings that are bought together. Now,
once you’ve picked up the perfect pair of skis, you’ll need to find
boots. Again, do your homework. Talk to the guys at the ski shop.
Often times, there’s a deal if you buy skis, boots, bindings and poles,
they’ll throw 10 percent off in and a free tune or something.”
SM: OK, so in your opinion, where are the
best places to go skiing in Utah?
“It all depends on how you ski and whom you ski with. Keep in
mind, Alta and Deer Valley don’t allow snowboarders. Best thing to
do if you’re unsure of the resorts around here? Take a couple of
weekends and ski around. Find a resort that fits your ability.”
SM: What are some safety tips while out on
the slopes?
“If it’s your first time at a resort, grab a map. Yes, you may look
like a tourist, but if it keeps you from wandering onto the Widow
Maker.You’ll thank me! If you’re ever planning to go into the backcountry, wear an avalanche beacon. Invest in a good quality one,
too. They save lives. Along those same lines, don’t duck the ropes.
Ski Patrol puts up ropes across closed areas for reasons. They
want to keep you safe!”

DO GIRLS
DRESS FOR
GUYS OR
OTHER GIRLS?
By Amy West
“Oh my ʻgoshʼ look at her butt...”
We often laugh when we hear this opening line of
“Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot. And it is funny because the
truth of the matter is that a girl probably would be the first one
to point out something about another girl’s appearance. Girls
have the capability of being cruel in a way you guys can’t even
begin to understand. There is a reason why movies like “Mean
Girls” and “Cruel Intentions” are so popular – because every
girl has been there on one side or the other to more or less the
extreme.
Is it any wonder, then, that when it comes to dress
most people, girls included, say that girls dress largely to impress other girls? It’s like fashion equals power and you don’t
want to be the one getting crushed by stilettos in the parade
down the catwalk.
Alexis Baumgartner, a freshman at BYU, said, “I don’t
really care what guys think right now, but girls scare the crap
out of me....Girls are harder to impress than guys.” Especially
in Utah, she said where, “Girls don’t look at your face but look
at the ground and work their way up.”
We women should be ashamed of ourselves, teaching
the youngsters it’s a tooth and manicured-nail fight for the best
man. Especially when guys really aren’t picky, “Guys don’t really care what girls look like unless they’re like totally ugly, but
then it wouldn’t matter how they’re dressed,” said Matt Czech,
a 20-year-old political science major at BYU.
In the animal world, isn’t it the males that are fighting for the female’s attention? The peacock has its elaborate
tail of feathers, mallards have that shiny green head, gorillas
just fight and get it over with, but it’s all with the girl as the
prize. Cassandra Bartz, a 21-year-old UVSC student, said, “I
think girls dress for guys because they want to show that they
have taste and style.” Now instead of males proving themselves
the strongest it has turned into girls proving themselves the
trendiest.
Now wait a minute, to me this sounds like what girls
24 Schooled
do with a fashion magazine. Countless times reading INSTYLE
magazine I’ll turn to my friend and point out a truly heinous
dress someone thought was stylish enough to wear to a premier
and express my disapproval -- knowing well that the wearer is
never going to care what I think about their decision. It’s so
much more personal to say it about someone who is right in
front of you at a party, but is it really that much different? Is a
girl just checking out your style and taking it for what it’s worth
in comparison with her personal taste when she looks you up
and down but never in the eye? Are you simply another outfit
on a page ready to be ripped apart by readers?
Stephanie Hill, a cosmetology student at Bon Losee
said, “I think they [girls] dress for other girls to impress them
too, but mostly for guys to look at them.”
Shevaun Killough, a UVSC student, thinks that girls
dress up as competition, “It’s all about who can be the prettiest.”
“They [girls] dress to be accepted,” said UVSC student
Russ Whetten.
The interesting part is while many ladies are more
than ready to admit that the girls they know dress to impress
each other, they seldom put themselves in that circle. It’s almost always the “other” girls that put on the show.
Another reason for wardrobe choices was given by
Rette McKnight, a sophomore at BYU. She said that she dresses to attract people with her common interests. “I wear this
rafting belt, a brand that only other rafters would recognize
called Airebelt.” So when other rafters see the brand they’re
able to form a connection with Rette, and get to know her better knowing they already have things in common.
Have you ever noticed how girls that are really good
friends look so much alike? This theory explains how those
with a common interest find each other and are able to make
those attachments
I’m actually surprised that more people didn’t bring

up this idea. It makes perfect sense when you think
about it. Our dress tells so
much about us: our likes
and dislikes, our economic class, our favorite colors, how big of a slut we
are... The way we wear our
clothes relates how we feel
about our bodies, and even
how high maintenance we
would be as a girlfriend.
Girls are like cars:
the ones who stay up with
the highest fashions are often the expensive ones. This isn’t to say that girls
that don’t wear the latest fashion aren’t
fantastic quality, beautiful girls – that
is not the case. But you know when you
buy a Jaguar that the trips back to the
dealership are going to be expensive.
That’s the price you pay for upkeep on
that kind of car. You can’t buy a new
BMW and say, “I had no idea it would
be so expensive.”
and that confidence
doesn’t come from what others think of
our dress – but what we think of ourselves.
When we wear this clothing that
helps us express this confidence we have
about ourselves it bring us back to the
first point: that we are expressing our
ideas and opinions and who we are as
an individual. Others can choose to connect with us, or not. “To thy own self be
true,” in this case, is very good advice. S

Don’t
Want it!
He hands the colorfully wrapped box to you. Carefully you
undo the tape and fold up the wrapping paper to reuse. Then
you lift off the lid and look inside. Before you can scream,
“Noooo—I hate stuffed animals,” you just force a smile and say
half-heartedly, “Thanks, it’s exactly what I wanted.”
It doesn’t take long to discover there is a real art to giving
presents. People may not know what they want, but they know
what they don’t want. We saved you the trouble of asking them.
Here’s what a few college students and graduates had to say:
Clothes—The majority of students crossed off clothes on
their wish list. Guys consider clothes everyday and ordinary,
not a “Wow!” gift for the holidays. “Although clothes are useful gifts, they are not exciting and flashy every other day of the
year,” comments John McAllister, a BYU student majoring in
biology. People have their own taste in style and fit, so let them
worry about their own attire
Knickknacks and figurines—Reality is that most of
us live in small cramped apartments. We don’t have room for
a decorative shelf, let alone knickknacks to stick on it. Figurines end up being impractical. They’re breakable and a pain
to transport in a suitcase. Jenna Fletcher, a BYU chemical engineering major, explained how her sister bought her a Disney
figurine which broke in her luggage. “I had to replace it without
her knowing—it wasn’t easy,” she said.
Candles—They seem romantic, but most apartment complexes prohibit them as a part of the fire code. “Back in high
school, it was a trend among my friends to give each other candles. It was kind of dumb since none of us ever used them,”
points out Patricia Burke, A BYU open major. If you just can’t
control yourself, buy your significant other an emergency candle for Provo’s next natural disaster—not a cute, smelly one that
will sit at the bottom of a box.
Hygiene products—Usually the idea of a gift is that it’s
something you want, not necessarily something you need. Dave
Gibson, a BYU industrial design major emphasizes, “I don’t like
receiving things I need. My mom always used to give us toothpaste for Christmas. I’d rather have toys.”
Guys aren’t the only ones who feel that way--girls want toys
too. There is not much entertainment value in a bottle of face
wash. Trust me a bar of soap won’t be of much help fighting
boredom in class.
Break the mold and shop creatively. It’s easy to distinguish
between who knows you and who is just going through the motions to give you a gift. Emily Dockter, a BYU theater graduate,
recalls a party she went to where every guest gave her a bath
and body set, except one, who gave her a dream dictionary. “It
wasn’t difficult to figure out who was my best friend and knew
what I really wanted.” Don’t label yourself as a “lame gift giver.”
Find out what your friends really want, instead of what is on
sale. People want gifts, not necessities. Don’t distribute generic
presents; try to put some thought into it. And if you don’t have
time to be thoughtful, gift certificates are always a safe route.
Then they can blame themselves if they end up with something
they don’t want.

Dollar Store Madness
the best bang for your buck
Congratulations
Youʼve just won a Christmas Shopping Spree at your favorite
store...but hereʼs the catch, youʼre only getting 50 bucks. But good news, hereʼs the other catch,
you can spend it at the dollar store! Yeah! That means you won 50 cool, funky, crazy things
(before taxes). So, after the running around and screaming, chill and come to the dollar store and
see what you can get:
No buyerʼs Remorse: I often find myself wandering around the aisles wondering, ʻWhy in the
heck did I spend $10 on a scrapbook when thereʼs an even cuter one here?ʼ Iʼm not kidding. Go
ahead and look for yourself (purses, photo paper, DVDs, frames). Compare the prices. The
dollar store wins every time.
Cheap stuff: “Sometimes I spend too much at the dollar store because everything is so cheap
that I keep throwing things in the basket,” says Carrie Fisher (name has been changed to protect
her from debtors). A common problem, but just make the commitment to stay strong. You can
always go again another day.
Instant Friends: In the mood to party, but unwilling to pay the price? Dollar store to the rescue
(banners, napkins, confetti). Or maybe youʼve just lost your holiday cheer? Well, you can buy
Christmas back without the guilt. I know...you want to prank someone without the strain on
your budget? Good news. They have Disney Princess Games galore. How many guysʼ living
rooms would you like to leave that lying around for their girlfriends to see?
The best thing about the dollar store is that you never know what youʼll find. So, this Christmas,
donʼt break the bank. Put thought into it, not money.
*Warning, you didnʼt really win this shopping spree. Yeah, youʼre gonna have to come up with your own
$50, but it is so worth it.

Cardio is one of the most important factors in
losing weight or toning up. To keep yourself motivated during this holiday season, put together
a cardio plan for yourself and stick to it! Pick
your favorite activities and spend anywhere from
15-60 minutes of cardio within your target heart
rate zone (check out schooledmagazine.com and
TEAM Schooled for how to find your target heart
rate zone). Make a calendar to do your cardio
three to five times a week. Switch up your days
between steady and interval cardio.
Doing steady, moderate cardio is to help you
lay the groundwork for cardiovascular fitness.
Working out for 30-60 minutes at a steady rate
will help you prepare for more intense workouts
in the future. Plus you’ll be able to sustain the
workout longer, thus burning more calories.
The strategy of doing intervals is to vary the intensity of your workout by alternating between
moderate and high intensity intervals, and taking the time to recover between them. Doing
intervals teaches your cardiovascular system to
tolerate higher exercise intensities and increase
your fitness level. The higher-intensity intervals
take you beyond your comfort level, raising your
heart rate without overexertion. Research shows
that interval training burns more calories than
steady-state cardio.

try to stop yourself from eating something, the more you want it. So have
your favorite foods! Control your portions...just make sure that you eat in
moderation.
3. Think your goals. Always keep your
goals in reach and know why you want to achieve them.
Keep this in the back of your mind when a temptation
comes.
4. Be smart.
Low-fat and low-calorie are better
than the originals, but it doesn’t mean that you can eat
more or have bigger portions. Make sure you make the
smart choice but don’t go overboard.
