You want to become filthy rich. If you are the standard ox-ygen-breathing person, this ap-plies to you. You have pondered from time to time the potential fast tracks to this lofty state of wealth and income. Many of you may have even found fortune in the money-making business. For those on campus who have yet to decide on their ideal vocation and make definitive educational goals, the most recent Payscale survey may offer some insights.

The Payscale annual survey found the top-ten bachelor’s de-grees for financial prosperity to be in 2011, in order from lowest to highest paying: petroleum en-gineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechani-cal engineering, aerospace engi-neering, computer engineering, physics, applied mathematics, computer science and nuclear engineering.

The lowest paying degrees on the other hand were found to be, in order from highest to lowest paying: art, public health, athletic training, theology, recreation and leisure studies, special educa-tion, culinary arts, social work, elementary education, and child and family studies.

Only seven percent of stu-dents who took part in a survey on campus expressed an inten-tion to study within the top-ten fields. Twenty two percent had no definitive plans beyond their general education requirements. And a whopping 17 percent fell into the category of students studying the subjects marked as the lowest. All others who took part were significantly more centrally inclined.

Recently, the SUN Center par-ticipated in the United Way Day of Caring. Volunteers went to the Ac-tive Re-Entry facility near the fair grounds southwest of Price, where

they were able to do some land-scaping work for them. Although some results of the project were immediately apparent, we did not know the effect of the service until we received this thank you note:

Dear SUN Center, I just want to say a huge thank

you for choosing Active Re-Entry as

your site for Day of Caring. I have spent the past three months trying to get a landscaper to commit to come and do some xero-scape work and trim trees and plants around our facility - but to no avail.

Your SUN Center volunteers not only planted 133 plants, moved and spread 26-tons of rock, and cleaned

up tumble weeds around an acre of fencing, but saved our program an estimated $22,000 that can now be put back into programs for people with disabilities.

Our place looks great, will save on water, and can be a showcase to the community of the benefits of xero-scaping. All the hard work

you put in was greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Nancy Bentley Director, Active Re-EntryThe SUN Center presidency

express their thanks for all those that participated in this and the many other projects that go on throughout campus.

Scott Madsen was chosen as USU Eastern employee of the quarter by a committee f staff members.

Madison was judged on: pro-ductivity and quality of work, dependability and reliability, knowledge and expertise, personal qualities, such as team oriented, positive attitude, the ability to relate to others and it also includes contributions and achievements.

“Coach Madsen is disciplined and he strongly believes in hard work,” said Joe Barta, one of the USU Eastern baseball players. Kort Christoffersen, another USU Eastern baseball player said, “The fact that he is always on us and makes us work hard makes him a great coach.”

Madsen’s favorite part about working at USU Eastern is working with the people.

One of his favorite memories

was watching the school improve throughout the years.

Madsen’s advice for new em-ployees at USU Eastern is, “make sure to meet everyone that you

can; because they are such good people.” If money were no object, Madsen would still coach baseball.

The first thing Madsen would like people to notice about him is that he is a hard worker that is trying to improve the people that

he associates with. “The most satisfying thing that

I do every day is that I feel like I improve the people that I associate with,” said Madsen. “If I were to choose someone as my mentor, I would pick Coach [Dave] Paur.”

“His strengths go along with hard work and he is very under-standing with family and baseball,” said Barta.

Christoffersen also added; “He is always there for people when they need something. He reminds me of Denzel Washington, when he acts in ‘Remember the Titans.’” Barta also said Madsen reminds him of Samuel L. Jackson, in “Snakes” on a plane.

Madsen has many qualities, some of the players wish they had a few of them. Christoffersen and Barta both said his dedication to his family and everything else.

He said, “The longest day of my life was the day that I became head coach, it seemed like every-thing I did was going the way I had planned.”

Coach Madsen selected as Outstanding Staff by his peers“The longest day of my life was the day that I became head coach, it

seemed like everything I did was going the way I had planned”

USU Eastern’s cosmetology program joined area salons in the com-munity to raise funds and awareness of breast cancer with a cookie and cake sale on Oct. 11 in the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center where they raised $575.

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Alicia Marelli, owner of Bellasano Salon and Spa, is in her second year of the annual fundraiser to help women in the community offset the financial struggles of fighting breast cancer.

Naming it “Salons for Survival,” the money generated will be given to United Way of Southeastern Utah to fund a local woman who needs financial help to fight the deadly disease.

Some of the ways the money will be used include paying for preven-tative care such as mammograms or screening, travel on the Perky Bus for treatments, paying for a chemotherapy treatment, and the list can go on. The most important aspect of this fund raiser is that all funds generated will stay in the community to help women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, Marelli noted. She said it is good way to give back to the women who have supported the salons for many years.

Participating salons promised to donate 20 percent of their entire sales every Tuesday in October, conduct raffles and wear T-shirts designed with the Salons for Survival pink logo printed on each one.
