The inside scoop on the Centennial Carillon tower

By Valeria Chao
November 27, 2012 12:00 AM
A carillonneur is a person who plays the bells in a bell tower, and it is not an easy job. It takes hours of practice hitting large, long, wooden keys that look like broom handles. Calluses start to form on the back of a carillonneur's hand from constantly hitting the wooden keys.

What goes on behind the curtains

By Valeria Chao
November 13, 2012 12:00 AM
The ballet studio has turned into a sauna. Sweat drips off of the dancers and creates puddles on the floor. Dancers breathe heavily and their toes bleed through their shoes. Their bodies are tired but determination keeps them going. One hour has passed and there are still three more to go.

BYU police beat ticket scam with technology

By Valeria Chao
October 02, 2012 12:00 AM

The parking ticket from last week sits in the center console. It would be easy to park in a staff parking lot and leave the old ticket on the windshield to deter the parking enforcement from writing a citation. However, using the ticket scam technique will no longer work due to the technological advances made by the University Police.
