Contribute to psychology research by attending Yoga Night on Wed., Oct. 20 in the Ballroom from 4 to 6 p.m. Participants will receive free Yoga instruction and will begin and end the class with a survey on stress. “Make it a date!” invites Kelley Harmon, psych major and director of the project. Cherry Goo and Lorraine Matagi will instruct the class. Tile setter Norman Burr came to Laie in 1958 along with his family for a year to serve as a labor missionary helping to create the McKay Foyer mural. He returned a few weeks ago to Laie -- after 52 years -- and talked about his experience here. Burr recalls that the mosaic was shipped to Hawaii one section at a time, in three separate boxes. The labor missionaries working on the project were forced to move forward in faith without a vision of the final project because, as Burr said with a smile, “The instructions were in the third box.” For more on the story, go to http://newsroom.byuh. edu/node/2443.
NOTEWORTHY NAME: MEGAN MCCAIN WHY SHE’S NOTEWORTHY: BYU-Hawaii has had athletes named PacWest Player of the Week three times this year, and McCain can claim two of them. Player of the Week for the second time this season, McCain, exercise and sports science freshman and goalkeeper from Colorado, helped the Seasider soccer team against Dixie State to earn first place in the conference. “Megan is a stud,” explained teammate Emily Mearns, a senior IDD major from California. “She is extremely talented and stepped up big time coming in as a freshman.” McCain said she hopes to use her athletic prowess to benefit mankind after she graduates. She wants to go into physical therapy after she obtains her diploma. HER TAKE: “I was pretty shocked by the second one [Player of the Week],” McCain admitted, after making 10 saves and breaking the school record for non-overtime games. One might ask how a freshman could reach such an achievement. “I give a lot of credit to defense and the whole team,” said McCain. – GABR IE LL SABALONE S
