A college was established in
115 years ago Cedar City that
would one day become SUU.
Throughout those 115 years,
many traditions have been
established and upheld, with
Homecoming Week being
one of the most important.
There are many smaller
traditions that comprise
Homecoming
Week,
including the Miss SUU
Pageant, powderpuff football

these traditions began, but he

Now, the Mud Bowl is
held before Homecoming
Week at Diamond Z Arena,
separately from powderpuff,
and is open to all students.
Cardon said two of the
more important traditions
for alumni are the parade
and the 50 Year Club.
“(The 50 Year Club) is for
people who are celebrating
their 50th anniversary of
graduation,” he said. “Each

The 50 Year Club was
created in 1950 and has been
celebrated every year since,
except for 1951 because there
was only one graduate that
survived the 1901 smallpox
outbreak.

New tech in class
Program allows professors to gauge students
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY KYLE KESTER/ UNIVERSITY JOURNAL
Top Hat Monocle, a new program that allows teachers to have students take online
quizzes and discussions using smart phones, computers and even text messaging.
The program is currently being piloted in the communication department.
By Shannon Doty
sdoty@suunews.com
A new technology called Top
Hat Monocle has made its way
to SUU and into Kevin Stein’s
Political Communication class.
Top Hat Monocle is a program
that allows students to use mobile
devices, such as notebooks,
iPads and cell phones, to answer
questions in class.
The program is similar to using
iClickers, but is less expensive
and has more options for
professors, including discussion
questions, multiple choice,
tournament modes and other
feedback opportunities.
Stein said the objective of
the program is to reach out in
relatable ways to students.
“The goal is to try to get
students involved in class in such
a way that is more consistent with
the way they like to interact,”
Stein said.
He said he creates questions,
which are then projected onto a
screen at the front of the class,
and students can text in their

answers, which then show up
anonymously.
“Once all the questions are
done, I can show them the
answers, and then they can see
how many students got it right
and how many got it wrong,”
Stein said.
After class, he can put the
questions into review mode so
that students can login from
home and study the answers.
Stein said near midterms
can simply click on the right
answer, but texting requires a
four digit code before the answer
and it does not register as fast.
Stein said since he has started
using Top Hat Monocle, his
students have begun coming to
class on time more than before.
“They are trying to come on
time now, because I do it right
when class starts,” Stein said.
“They are going to miss out
on participation points (if they
choose to not come).”
Corey Petersen, a senior
communication major from Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa, and a student in
Stein’s class, said she does not
think there is a big difference in
learning and retention whether it
is done through the program or
on paper.
“This has not improved my
retention,” Petersen said. “I
don’t know how it would help
with that, because we could just
answer the same questions on a
piece of paper.”
“tournament mode” part of the
program.
“My students. . .are going
to compete against each other
in a tournament with review
questions for the exam,” he said.
“They’re pretty excited about
that.”
Stein said the class has found
a few glitches with the program
over the course of the semester
so far.
“The ones that are using their
regular cell phones to text in the
answers, it seems to go much

Help radio
to help out
music artists
Reps. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and Jared Polis,
D-Colo., have introduced a bill in the U.S. House
of Representatives. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., has
introduced the same bill in the Senate. The bill? The
Internet Radio Fairness Act of 2012. A competing bill
is trying to make its way into Congress, pushed by Rep.
Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. This second one is the Interim
Fairness in Radio Starts Today (FIRST) Act.
Both acts have the same goal: leveling out the
for digital music broadcasts are determined by the
Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), which uses two
standards to decide how much a radio company should
pay the recording artist and record label for the rights
to play a song.
which is used for older services, such as Sirius XM
satellite radio. New Internet music services, such as
Pandora or iHeartRadio, fall under the second standard,
called Willing Buyer/Willing Seller. Companies under
rates set by the 801(b) standard currently only pay
about 8 percent of their gross revenues for the use of
sound recordings. Those companies which fall under
the Willing Buyer/Willing Seller standard have to
it paid 50 percent of its revenues for the use of sound
recordings.
The FIRST Act wants to put all Internet radio
companies under the Willing Buyer/Willing Seller
standard. The Internet Radio Fairness Act of 2012
wants to put all Internet radio companies under the
801(b) standard. To put it another way, the FIRST
Act is looking out for music artists and the Internet
Radio Fairness Act is looking out for Internet radio
companies.
It is very hard for Internet radio companies, which
allow listeners to listen for free as radio is wont to
net operating losses and as of April 30, 2011, we had
to Forbes
Everyone who loves music loves free listening on the
Internet, and maybe that’s why the University Journal
Editorial Board sides with the Internet Radio Fairness
Act. We don’t want these companies to die.
But there are other reasons. Largely due to advances in
technology, the music industry is growing. Recording
artists and their labels don’t need saving, and they will
still make plenty of money if Internet radio companies
pay them the same as other types of radio. They would
undoubtedly make more money if they helped keep
Internet radio alive.
The opinions expressed above are the collective
perspective of the University Journal Editorial
Board. The editorial board meets Mondays and
Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in room 176C of the

Faculty and administrators are here to provide
students with the highest quality professional educational
experience possible. We certainly concur, as you conclude, that
this is not high school and our various stakeholders should uphold
appropriate standards for personal and professional behavior.
Because of the power differential between faculty and students,
the former must do so to a higher standard than might otherwise
be the case in settings outside the university.

McDonald
The policy implores faculty to maintain appropriate
relationships with students. It is up to faculty members to employ
their sound professional judgment and shape their behavior
accordingly in that regard.
Why might this be so? While our various constituencies
on campus may be adults, there is a clear power differential
between the status of faculty and that of student. The power
divide makes it incumbent upon faculty to, first and foremost,
steward their relationships with students in a prudent, proper,

given undue credit
While we appreciate attention
paid to SUU’s Community
Garden in the edition of
September 24, 2012, the
article completely neglects the
role played by others at SUU,
particularly Professor Terri
Hildebrand and student assistant
Brian Johnson.
Over the past four years,
Professor Hildebrand and Mr.
Johnson have led the resurrection
and remarkable growth of the
Community Garden at the SUU
Valley Farm. They first increased
the Garden to 40 plots, expanded
advertising and secured end-ofyear funding from the Provost
for Brian to work for the entire
growing season (May 1 - Nov 1).
Two years ago, Professor
Hildebrand involved the Cedar
Native Plant Society and
received a commitment from the
Biology Department for ongoing
student funding and expanded
the Garden to 82 plots.
All of the effort and funding
for management of the Garden
has been, and continues to be,
through the Department of
Biology. In fact, gardeners must
sign a contract to participate
and all moneys are administered
through a Greenhouse Fund
within the Biology Department.
Professor Hildebrand and
Brian Johnson continue to
devote countless hours to
oversight of the Community
Garden, tasks that include
management of compost bins,
plot assignments, watering,
contract and payment systems.
Although the Community
Engagement Center gratefully
has used two plots of the
Community Garden, the
CEC is not deserving of
the misplaced focus and
information in this article.
Earl Mulderink
Director of the SUU
Community Engagement
Center
Community
Garden is separate
from Community
Engagement Center
I just wanted to point out two
inaccuracies in your article about
the SUU Community Garden in
the University Journal.
First of all, the Community
Engagement Center does not
host the plots as you stated in
the third paragraph.
At my urging, we have rented
two plots for the season to
provide food for the HOPE
Pantry which is located in
the Community Engagement
Center. The plants on those
plots were donated by local
businesses.
Secondly, the Community
Engagement Center is not the
contact for the SUU Community
Garden. The Community
Engagement Center does not
in any way manage the SUU
Community Garden, we simply
rent two plots for the HOPE
Pantry and encourage students
and staff to plant and maintain
gardens on their own time.
For
example,
Braxton
(Winterton) and I both have
personal plots at the SUU
Community Garden.
I urge you to run a correction
in the next edition of the
University Journal so those
who are in charge of the SUU
Community Garden receive
proper recognition. Thank you
and take care.

ACA holds 12th annual Zion rendezvous
By Shannon Doty
sdoty@suunews.com
The American Canyoneering Academy
held its 12th annual canyoneering
rendezvous in Zion National Park this
weekend, Sept. 20-23.
Park was held in the fall of 2000.
Rich Carlson, founder of the ACA and
owner of the store Canyon and Crags in Cedar
City, said the goal of the event was simply to
gather canyoneers together for the weekend.
“(They) just want to meet other canyoneers,
descend some canyons, have fun and learn
new things,” Carlson said.
Jason Doel, a senior chemistry major from
Lehi, attended the rendezvous.
“It was a gathering of a bunch of different
canyoneers,” Doel said. “There were even a
few international students.”
There were around 140 canyoneers at the
rendezvous this weekend, including some
from Australia and Japan.
Doel led a couple of trips himself during
the rendezvous. One of them was through
Echo Canyon, one of the many slot canyons
in Zion National Park.
“It’s a hike that a lot of people do, but they
don’t realize that right next to it is a big,
narrow gap where you can go down into it,”
Doel said. “It involves about three rappels
and a couple of really cold swims.”
The American Canyoneering Academy
began about ten years ago as the
American Canyoneering Association,
founded by Carlson.
“It was started, originally, to train canyoneers
and canyon guides,” Carlson said.
A year ago, the American Canyoneering
Association split into two parts.
“There’s the American Canyoneering
Academy, that does nothing but teach
courses, and there’s the American Canyon
Guides’ Association, that gives exams and
He said the group and all the canyoneering
trips are organized through a website called
meetup.com and there are over 1,500 members.
“We have a lot of people in Utah,
California, Nevada and Arizona,” Carlson
said. “Those are the states that have the
most members.”
Carlson said anyone is welcome to join.
“The season’s going to be winding down a
bit ... but there will still be workshops and

Heidi Powell, SUUSA vice
president of activities, said the
university is aiming to start a
new tradition this year, known
as Forever Red Friday, which
will take place Friday night at
7:30 p.m. on the Upper Quad.
“We want it to be a big event
for the community, the school,
students, staff, faculty and
alumni to come back to SUU,”
Powell said. “It’s literally a
homecoming for everyone.”
Though many students and
alumni of SUU are unsure of
how the Homecoming traditions
started, they have had an impact
on them during their time at the
university.
Cardon said Homecoming is
important to alumni because
it holds the ability to return to

their roots.
“It’s a chance for alumni
to come back home to their
alma mater and have reunions,
reminisce on the memories and
come back to the place that they
loved,” Cardon said.
Rachel Erickson, a junior
psychology major, said her
favorite Homecoming tradition
is True T-Bird Night.
“You get free chapstick,”
Erickson said. “It’s the greatest.”
Erickson said she sees
Homecoming as a chance to get
pumped about SUU.
“It’s like a big pep rally that
gets everybody excited for
school,” she said.
Shaun Wright, a senior
sociology major from Lindon,
said he thinks Homecoming is
important because it unites the
student body.
“It’s a chance to get out there,
have fun and realize we’re all SUU
students,” Wright said. “School
spirit is what makes it fun.”

Martin said it was a good idea to
put the schedule of Homecoming
Week on the pictures.
“Flyers get thrown away,” she
said. “This is something that
the students will want to keep
because their pictures are on it.”
Eric Liebhardt, a freshman
music major from Cedar City,
said he liked that there were
schedules on the pictures.
“Many people are ignorant
of what is going on during
Homecoming,” he said. “This is
a good way to rope people in and
get them involved.”
He said he enjoyed the event
because he was able to be
creative with the props.
“The props were fun, but
kind of disgusting because they
were touching everyone’s lips,”
Liebhardt said.
SUU as well.
“We get a lot of opportunities
for students through the festival,
we get a lot of national attention
through the festival, and the
idea is that if we can have this
Southern Utah Museum of Art,
we can start to get that same kind
of attention for the university
and this area,” he said.
Horlacher said the project
will allow students an
opportunity to have an
advantage in the job market.
“As a whole, I think students
will benefit from this because
as it becomes known that the
Southern Utah Museum of
Art is affiliated with SUU,
our degrees will become more
valuable when we are looking
for a job,” he said.
Benson said they are also
in talks to complete the
new Shakespeare project
in phases. Phase one would
include the new outdoor
theatre and SUMA. Phase two
would include a new “artistic
production facility,” which
according to Benson, would
include hair and makeup,
storage, costume, a black box
theatre and offices.
Benson said they are also
considering building a recital
hall in the future.

The quilts in the gallery come
in all shapes and sizes. One
particular quilt is made to look
like a wedding dress and another
takes up an entire wall. The
quilts contain images of human
beings, sunbeams or a mixture
of outer space and the ocean.
This show will feature the

An estimated 3,000 students
from elementary, middle and
high schools throughout Iron

tour the quilt exhibit. Ten tour
guides will encourage these
students to view the fabric
in unique ways, pointing
out various techniques the
artists may have used in their
creations.
Alongside these school
tours, community members
and SUU students are
encouraged to attend the
exhibit. Special events on
Saturdays are also open to the
public. One said event will be
titled “Man Quilter” which
will be a presentation given by

“The thing about last week is our energy level
was constant,” Baker said. “If you noticed today,

play like that. We’ve got to be consistent.”
The T-Birds followed up their school recordbreaking 18 blocks on Saturday with another
