Study Abroad: Milestone markers

AUSTIN CUNNINGHAM Tech students staying in Russellville over the summer will have no shortage of outdoor activities to spend with their free time.

Outdoor Recreation offers equipment rentals and may be planning other activities for Tech students sticking around over the summer.

Steven Walton, graduate assistant for Outdoor Recreation, said the campus and outdoor recreation office will offer free rentals of canoes, kayaks, hammocks, bikes, basketballs and disc golf equipment.

To rent equipment, all students have to do is go to the Campus Recreation office located at 513 W. L St., with a Tech ID and fill out a rental form.

“They’re going to look at property at maybe a city park… and they want it to be centrally located. And once they can tell us what that property is, then we do the leg work,” said Capen-Housley. The “leg work” is analyzing how much donations and sponsorships they already have and estimating the cost of each part of what needs to

be included in the park. “There also will be decisions to be made about overall maintenance and care of the dog park. We don’t want to drop off once this is built. We vow to maintain a very healthy support and maintain it with the city,” Capen-Housley said. Volunteers will be considered as a part of this.

Funding will come from fundraising, the city and sponsorships. Fundraising will include selling products like t-shirts. Friends of the Dog Park

According to USA Today, Adidas wants to endorse Colin Kaepernick but has held off because he is not signed to a NFL team at the moment. In 2016, Kaepernick protested by kneeling during the national anthem took the world by storm.

Kaepernick is protesting the perceived heavy-handed law enforcement tactics in minority communities that included the deaths of several unarmed black men. This protest has spread across the NFL and drew condemnation from social conservatives and President Donald Trump, who considered them unpatriotic. Kaepernicks efforts were echoed across the NFL and other players took a knee to.

Mark King, president of Adidas said, “We love athletes that have a platform to make the world a better place,” King said.

“If they’re an activist in a way that brings attention to something that moves the world forward, even if there’s controversy at that moment, we’re really interested in those athletes because I think it represents the world today.”

Adidas wanting to endorse Kaepernick is shocking. Adidas is one of the biggest athletic apparel companies in the world. If Kaepernick gets endorsed

by Adidas, many people may not be happy. Adidas may lose a substantial amount of revenue from this decision. Adidas would also give Kaepernick a bigger platform for his voice to be heard.

Some see Kaepernick as a villain and some see him as a hero. Adidas would make history with this decision by commercializing his beliefs. Adidas would definitely make a statement by showing they actually care about what is happening to their black customers. This decision is bigger than

Professors work toward a dog park in Russellville In the midst of benefitting students with their teaching, a few professors on campus are also working to improve the city of Russellville with a dog park.

Professor Cass Capen-Housley of parks recreation and hospitality administration found the inspiration for the dog park whilst selling dog treats at a farmer’s market in 2011. Over time, the idea formed into actual questions about how to turn this into a reality with a once small group. Signatures were gathered, talk was made, but money was an issue. After a standstill when figuring out how to approach this, the committee of the Friends of the Dog Park picked back up, gaining ideas from other cities which had dog parks. Within this time, the committee came up with ways to fundraise, get active and spread the word about the dog park.

On April 12, the committee presented their ideas and plans to the Recreation and Parks Commission and received a positive response about the park.

I’m about halfway through my study abroad adventures and it’s wild to think how fast time has gone by. Only three months ago I was completely baffled by public transportation, terrified to go to restaurants and stores and flooded with general uncertainty.

Now, I’ve settled into my classes, made new friends, explored the city and become more comfortable with my existence in this still-foreign land.

Not everything has changed, though.

The grocery stores still give me anxiety and there are a lot of things I still miss about the United States (pizza rolls being the primary example), but I’ve realized if I can survive—even thrive—in Graz, I can do basically anything.

In honor of my final column and my halfway milestone, I thought I’d share a few anecdotes that I will never forget about my study abroad experience.

Firstly, we have my penchant for breaking things. I probably shouldn’t be surprised, considering how many cell phones and laptops I’ve gone through in my twenty-two years, but I think I reached a whole new level of

Tech’s Health and Wellness Center sponsored a ‘De-Stress Fest’ from noon to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18, at Hindsman Bell Tower. The event was created as a way to help students manage their stress levels.

At the event, students were provided with many ways to lower their stress levels. The activities included free massages, adult coloring pages, bubble blowing, throwing Frisbees and biofeedback equipment, which indicates the body’s level of stress. In addi-

tion to the activities, cookies were provided because: “Desserts is stressed spelled backwards,” said Kristy Davis, associate dean for student wellness.

During the De-Stress Fest, there were nurses, counselors and peer health educators available to interact with students and encourage them to follow the Health and Wellness Center’s social media sites. Students who followed the sites were entered in a drawing for a hammock.

“With finals coming up we just kind of figured that students need to de-stress for a little bit because finals are terrible; no-

body likes finals. Just to kind of take their mind off of academics for a minute and give their mind and body a break,” said Isaac Gauvey, an agriculture business major working as a peer educator for the center.

If students are interested in additional information on how to de-stress, visit the Health and Wellness center in Doc Bryan Suite 119.

#Save Student newsrooms

AMBER QUAID/THE ARKA TECH

AMBER QUAID

Editor-in- chief

My last editorial as Editor-in-Chief could not have come about on a more perfect day­ – #SaveStudentNewsrooms day. This is a day where colleges across the United States are coming together to give each other a voice and support. We at the Arka Tech support all journalism and believe that this is a necessary profession to keep everyone in our community fair and honest, including ourselves.

Student journalism is where people who wish to pursue higher education come together to report as unbiased as they can the going-ons of their campus and community. This is where they learn what true journalism is, where they learn to make mistakes so they don’t continue to make them and where they have professionals at their side to mentor and guide them.

If we don’t save student newsrooms, we agree to let ourselves be blind to the workings of every entity in our city. Future lawyers, politicians and, of course, journalists have come out of newsrooms I have been a part of. Journalism inspires students to learn about their government, their laws, to speak up about injustices, to look at things from more than one side

Editorial: ed·i·to·ri·al

and then to let it go for the people to make up their minds.

Journalists have to be professionals in everything. We have to know about, or research, any and every topic we cover, where better to learn that than in a student newsroom. Saving students newsrooms not only saves dedicated journalists but also saves every bill, law, community photo, food review and anything else going on in the community that we get involved in (we can’t get involved unless you let us know about your event, communicate with us so we can work with you).

Being in a student newsroom for 6 years (4 as an undergrad and 2 as a grad student) has made me feel a part of something bigger and more important than myself. Normally editorials are done as a voice of the whole staff but since it is my last day I took it over and left no room for argument.

I wanted to say my farewells but I also wanted to give my newsroom a voice in this movement. We believe in student journalism, we believe in our community and we believe in our future.

The future of Arkansas Tech University’s journalists and student newsroom will be in excellent hands thanks to Tommy Mumert, our newspaper adviser. He is always open to new

ideas, he lets us fail so we can learn from our mistakes (and helps us fix them too), and he has always been a person I trust and value at Arkansas Tech University. He encourages us to be the best we can, to strive for our goals and to talk about the topics important to this campus. He has a sneaky but infectious sense of humor that has brightened many days. He will be missed even though I will still call him a million times in my professional life.

To all the staff at The Arka Tech, I am inspired to see what this team will accomplish. They have already proven themselves through out our campus and at numerous award events. They have shown their dedication to the craft and if this is the future of student newsrooms... world watch out. I will miss you all but can’t wait until I can say “I knew you when” because I believe you all have that greatness inside of you.

And the last person I need to say

it as a great project for a child but didn’t see much replay-ability.

farewell to but who also gives me hope in the future of student journalism is my partner in crime, my co-editor-inchief, Amber Appleby. Without her I would have driven my newsroom crazy. She kept us focused and on task while being encouraging. She helped balance my zealousness for the newsroom with her down-to-earth newsroom (not to say she didn’t have crazy moments but she really is the more sane of the two of us). As she takes on the role of Editor-in-chief by herself I am confident that she will continue to make The Arka Tech staff the best journalists ever (but I am biased a wee bit) and help keep student newsrooms strong.

So to those of you who don’t have newsrooms to lean on, you should but that’s another discussion, go find your group and thrive. To those who are in the newsroom, keep doing what you’re doing because the world needs us. And to all of you– #SaveStudentNewsrooms.

Nintendo is always taking big risks to push innovation DALE QUAID

Nintendo Labo has just arrived for the Switch. At first glance, I was not pulled in by Labo and did not understand it fully. Now that it is out in the hands of consumers, I have been able to really see how it works, and I have to say it is incredibly innovative.

Labo, at first blush, is just cardboard with a game. The cardboard is made to be folded into various controller shapes such as: a fishing pole, piano or even a robot suit.

At the time of this writing, there are two sets available— the variety kit and the robot kit. The variety kit contains the fishing pole, piano, motorcycle grip, house and two RC cars. The robot kit contains the cardboard needed to build your own robot suit. Both kits come with their own software to interact with the cardboard “controllers” using either the joy-con or the Switch console its self.

While the kits seem like a great gimmick, that is all I saw them as. I viewed

“Yes, because in a system that’s one sided you don’t get as many ideas and can tend to be biased.”

An organization that connects current Tech students with alumni of the university has chosen its members for the upcoming school year.

The Presidential Leadership Cabinet’s members serve as student representatives of the President’s Office and the Alumni Office. PLC’s main purpose

on campus is to outreach to prospective and current students, as well as alumni and friends.

“Our organization bridges the gap between past Tech students, current Tech students, as well as well as people who are interested in learning about the Arkansas Tech campus,” Camille Jordan, graduate assistant of the Alumni Office, said. “I am glad we get to welcome new and returning members

for the 2018-2019 school year.”

The organization works closely with Dr. Robin Bowen, president of the university, and the Alumni Office by working various events on campus. These events include: the Wonderboys’s football games, different banquets hosted by the campus, service projects like clothing and food drives, as well as graduations.

“PLC wants its members

to be the physical presence of Tech students at the different events we work,” Jordan, who oversees the duties of PLC members, said.

“We do the small things that make the big events on campus go well.”

The duties of the members in PLC are all volunteer based; the organization provides many opportunities for the students involved

Hollywood exec gives industry insight

TREY STARKS

Contributing Writer A Hollywood executive gave a presentation on April 20 about what it takes to make it in Hollywood.

The presentation— which was sponsored by the Department of English and World Languages— was given by Sam Toles, senior vice president of Metro Goldwyn Mayer.

Commonly referred to as MGM, Metro Goldwyn Mayer is a media company

that focuses primarily in film and television production.

Toles, a native of Buffalo, New York, spoke on many different topics including how he got his start in the entertainment industry.

“I didn’t go to a fancy school; I went to the State University of New York at Buffalo. I have a degree in political science,” Toles said. “When I graduated, I was 22-years-old and working as a waiter at T.G.I.

Fridays. I got $1,100 that was saved, packed up my hatchback and drove to Los Angeles.”

Toles also spoke about the increasing popularity of digital media, what it takes to be a successful writer, and how to get noticed in Hollywood. For those who are writers, Toles had one specific tip to be successful: keep writing.

“If you’re a writer, my advice to you is just that: keep writing,” Toles said.

“If you want to be a success-

ful writer in Hollywood, you should be writing at least five days a week.”

Amanda Hampton, a biomedical science major and California native, said that Toles’ visit reminded her of her home state.

“I thought it was interesting having someone so important within the film industry come to Tech and give insight,” Hampton said.

“Plus, it’s cool seeing him talk about things back home that I have seen or that I know about in Hollywood.”

Board members announced for Student Government Association TIFFINI JARVIS

Contributing Writer

Arkansas Tech’s Student Government Association announced the new position holders, elected peers to help govern SGA, for next year.

After a week of voting, SGA released the winners of the student election through its social media channels.

“I think the student body chose great people that will take SGA further than we have gone before,” said Morgan Walter, SGA senior senator and

biology major from Bigelow. “These are people that are either already established as great leaders on campus or have the potential to become one.”

Although five positions remain open, the existing position holders have plans to make the next SGA generation the best one yet.

“Our past board did an amazing job, but I want to do even better than that,” said Lakyn Kidd, future senior senator and public relations major from Hope.

“We have to go in with that mindset that we can only improve things from

here, so we’re confident in the decisions we make for the student body.”

Hudson Anderson, future senator at large and psychology major from Batesville, said, “I want to help make a difference on campus and help Tech grow in the right direction. I also want to help organizations and individuals on campus make sure their voices are heard.”

Walter said, “Although I believe the upcoming board will do an amazing job, they have big shoes to fill because Matthew Smith was one of the best student

body presidents the university has seen.”

Under the current president, Matthew Smith, SGA has a full board and has passed 13 resolutions, according to the SGA website.

Smith will pass on the president’s gavel during Tech’s Evening of Excellence, a registered student organization banquet signifying the end of the current board’s duties.

SGA will be hosting elections in the fall to fill the remaining positions within the organization, according to SGA’s Twitter account.

DIVERSITY IN LEADERSHIP- SHARING IDEAS

AMBER QUAID/THE ARKA TECH On April 16, Campus life held an event entitled "Diversity in leadership." During the event students were given beads and asked questions that correlated to the beads. Each bead stood for a different race or ethnicity. The students had to answer by placing the corresponding bead into their cup. This gave the students a visual representation of the diversity in their own life.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds, since Kaepernick must get signed by a team before Adidas can endorse him.

However, not many team have shown interest, expect for the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks might be interested in signing the quarterback. Pete Carlo, the head coach of the Seahawks, said, “There may be a place for him; we aren’t not ruling anything out.”

Kaepernick has been without an NFL team since the end of the 2016 season. Things should be very interesting moving forward.

THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2018

nearest grocery store still open and, since we couldn’t figure out the transportation system, decided to make a thirty-minute trek to the store for frozen pizza and chicken nuggets. By the time we returned to our accommodations, around 1 a.m., we were exhausted, but I remembered that I absolutely had to do laundry because I didn’t get a chance before leaving. The washing machine was vastly different than any I’d encountered before, so I shoved my clothes in, pushed some buttons and hoped for the best.

Bad decision. About a week later, I received an angry email claiming I broke the washing machine and that I should have just read the English instructions printed out right next to it. Moral of the story: I had to pay a $100 repair fee, somehow lost a pair of pajama shorts and developed a fear of foreign washing machines.

Ah, but it gets worse, because in Slovenia, the day after learning about the washing machine, I broke an ATM. I don’t take the blame for this one, as all I did was insert my card the way I was supposed to, but when the screen froze and then switched to an error message without giving me my card back, I certainly panicked. I had to go into the bank and talk to the teller, and when her stilted English made it seem as if I wasn’t going to get my card back, I nearly had a breakdown in a random Slovenian bank.

However, they opened up the ATM and after a few minutes of searching found my debit card. The next day, when we walked by, the ATM was still showing the error screen. At least I didn’t have to pay anything! And at least I can laugh about and make fun of myself for both of these situations now.

Next: my inability to work doors like a functioning human and one of the

many reasons my suitemate probably thinks I’m the dumbest person she has ever met. One morning I woke up for my German intensive course and trudged to the bathroom for a shower. I’d never locked the door before, so I don’t know why I decided to this day, but I did and I showered and everything was fine…until I tried to unlock the door.

It’s a lock that you have to turn, not push, and I could not for the life of me make the lock budge. Wrapped in my towel, I began to freak out. Because I’m a millennial and apparently can’t go anywhere without my phone, I had it in the bathroom with me, so I frantically tried calling my friend Brent. He didn’t answer, which is unsurprising, considering it was about 7 a.m.

As I was considering ways to break down the door, my suite mate knocked and asked when I was going to be done because she had to get ready for work.

In a shrill voice, I said, “Um, I’m done, but I locked the door and now I can’t get out.”

She was quiet for a moment—taken aback by my stupidity, I’m sure—before she said, “Just…turn it counter clockwise.”

So I turned it counter-clockwise, and, though it took a bit of elbow grease, the door unlocked just like that. My suite mate was standing outside with tired eyes and I looked like a drowned rat, but I squeaked out an apology and ducked into my room, mentally kicking myself. But, of course, that’s not the end of it because about an hour later we were both trying to leave at the same time, but I got to the door first. The door to our suite is one that requires a key to unlock whether you’re inside or outside.

Feeling pressure after that morning’s debacle, I couldn’t help but make a fool out of

myself once again because I could not, for the life of me, get the key in the key hole. It probably took me a solid ten seconds to unlock the door, with my suite mate waiting right behind me. Once I finally got the door open, I practically ran away from my suite mate.

Finally, I will never forget the day I accidentally flashed a courtyard of unsuspecting Austrians. There’s a popular mountain in Graz called Schloßberg that you can climb what feels like a trillion stairs to reach the top of, where there’s a neat clocktower. I climbed it for the first time in the winter. There was snow on the ground and I was wearing a dress and heeled boots, but the person I was with insisted we had to climb it that day, despite the fact that it was closed for the winter.

No worries, though, because the only thing blocking it off was a short, easily climbable gate. Climbing it to get in was easy enough because there was nobody except my friends on the other side, but on the way out was a different story.

I’d just climbed 260 steps, which is difficult enough without worrying about slipping on the snow, so my legs were a little shaky and making it over that short, easily climbable gate suddenly seemed like much more of a feat. Long story short, I managed to get over it, but a dress was less than ideal for the moment and the people looking at me, concerned, waiting to see if I needed help getting over that gate definitely got a show.

I’ve embarrassed myself plenty in Graz, but I’ve gotten through it all and come out with a better sense of humor. At least the days like these give me something to tell my friends about. I’ve got three more months of embarrassing moments ahead of me, so I better be ready to laugh some more.

A language of life beyond words HANNAH BUTLER

Staff Writer

Dr. Rebecca Garvin of the English department has many qualities; however, boring is not among them. She considers her adult life in three phases: raising a family, her career and her third stage—making art.

After completing her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Blue Mountain College, she got married. When she met her husband freshman year, Dr. Garvin admits, “I thought he was weird, and I didn’t want to talk to him,” she said, laughing, “but then he kept coming around and coming around…and so like, after our first date, three weeks after our first date, he proposed. Which is ridiculous. And so he had to propose a lot more before he even wore me down.”

Her eyes lit up while she laughed. She longed for a family with and it was definite for her that she wanted to make her children the priority.

Now that they are grown up, Dr. Garvin’s children lead particularly intriguing lives. One is a stand-up comedian, one works with Fusion Management in Nashville and the other is a middle-school teacher in Washington, D.C. She passed down her interest in people to her children. Dr. Garvin said that her children have the same kind of love and understanding for others that did not grow up the same as them.

She spoke extremely highly of all of her family. There is a tone in her voice when she speaks about them that shows she feels so lucky to have all of them.

“I had great parents, a great husband, great children, great grandchildren,” she said, trailing off. While her children grew up, she chose to stay home, and it was not for seventeen years that she started tutoring international students.

She began to devour and love it. Her love for teaching stemmed from her roots.

Early on, Dr. Garvin was taught that “people are people.” Not only was she taught by her mother and father, the experiences around her growing up that made her become fascinated with others. When she was 14, she started working with the VolunTEEN program during the summer in Memphis, Tennessee. Over the next two summers, she worked with the Salvation Army daycare for underprivileged children, as well as the Veteran’s Hospital.

“It put me in touch with the people who did not have the same exact expe-

Dr. Rebecca Garvin shares her story beyond the English Department. riences as I had,” she said. “It also made me fascinated with people.”

She wanted to do more with people, and once her children were older, she felt compelled to start fresh.

“You get to a point where you feel like there’s something you need to be doing, that you’re interested in so many things.. and I was still interested in people,” said Dr. Garvin.

During this revelation, she noticed that Murray State University was forming a TESL program in English education. She was accepted, and the opportunities did not stop there. As a graduate student, she was asked to complete an internship in China, and taught in Beijing at the Servants Center while overseeing the other English teachers. After graduating with her master’s, she spent time working at Murray State, teaching for six years and then working in the Vice President of Academic Affairs office by editing documents. Yet, she felt she wanted even more out of teaching.

She started at Indiana University in Pennsylvania for her PhD. There, Dr. Garvin began studying linguistic landscapes as a teaching assistant, and got involved with a group called the Linguistic Landscape Scholars.

she has been to eleven and counting, and she also has a basic understanding of five different languages. “[Sociolinguists who focus on linguistic landscapes] are researchers from all over the world, who are looking at the world, looking at public spaces and how people mark these public spaces.

It looks at everything from graffiti, to sort of, political sort of contestations and things like that that go on in public spaces. And how language and icons and images are used to construct sort of an understanding of place and space, and then orient people while they’re in that space…it’s just this way of looking at the world,” Dr. Garvin said simply. “It’s exactly what I love.”

As a professor, Dr. Garvin is always willing to help students and show that she cares. She loves that students give so much back to her once she shows them that she truly cares. She expresses that:

“Teaching is energizing [in that way].

If you can create a space where people do feel accepted and free to experiment with their own thoughts and ideas.”

As she is creative in her teaching methods, she is creative in general. At a very young age, she fell in love with art. Particularly, she enjoys ceramics and oil painting. At one point in her life, she had to deal with several family members passing away, and art was a way for her to deal with it. She began to make a set of pieces about life and living. She used pottery to portray her birth family. While she does not use art so much anymore, she does spend the time she has discovering her genealogy.

She hopes that when she is in her next stage of her adult life that she spends more time creating.

Dr. Garvin has left her own uniqueness by caring and staying as invested as she is in others.

“You get to a point where you feel like there’s something you need to be doing, that you’re interested in so many things.. and I was still interested in people.”

OUTDOOR From Page 1 few students come in to check out equipment over the summer, so it’s a good idea to call ahead for availability.

“There are also talks about planning some summer intramurals, tours and hikes, but nothing’s set in stone yet,” said Walton.

There is a mystery hike planned for Saturday, April 28, which will be the last Outdoor Recreation event of the semester. Walton said that the location of the hike, as the name suggests, is a mystery but will be within driving distance.

Outdoor Recreation also offers many options for activities around Russellville. According to russellvillearkansas.org, there are many city parks with walking trails and basketball courts, including the new aquatic center located near campus at 1200 N. Phoenix Ave. For more information about Outdoor Recreation, students may visit https://www.atu.edu/ outdoorrecreation/ and for more information about parks and activities in Russellville, students may visit russellvillearkansas.org.

Smackin' Wings food truck solid gold

Perfect to take your mind off /10 studying

Chicken wing addict confesses about Smackin' Wings food NOAH DELASHAW

Sports Writer

Hi, my name is Noah Delashaw and I am a chicken wing addict. If I was to only eat one food for the rest of my life, I could easily do that if it was chicken wings. So, when I heard about the Smackin’ Wings and Things food truck in Russellville I knew I needed to try it.

I had heard about it from a few friends that heard about it and they went and tried it. They told me the wings were so good, and they wanted to go back more. I do not take these things lightly; I know for a fact that when people they try new things, they have a tendency to either overall hate it or boost it because they get a misconception after trying it.

I went into the experience completely open-minded and let the chicken do the talking for me.

We started off by trying to find the truck. We

drove to the location stated by their Facebook. We arrived, and we found their sign but no truck. Ricci told me they move sometimes to another spot, so we drove over there to try and find them. They were also not there. As we pulled out of the parking lot where he thought they were, we saw them down the street in another lot. It wasn’t look good from the start since they were somewhat hard to find.

After talking to them they explained why and that they will normally be in the normal spot.

Walking up to the truck, we were greeted by a guy who took orders. He was very nice and personable.

I asked him what he recommended for people eating there for the first time.

He told me to go with the wings and listed a few of the flavors.

This is where he caught me. Flavors like Sweet chili, Honey Hot, and then PB and J. I was immedi-

ately in on trying this crazy sounding flavor. I ordered the 8-wing plate, it came with eight wings, two rolls, a side and a drink, all for 11 dollars. If you are a chicken wing eater such as myself, you know this is a great deal for a good number of wings and food.

The service was good as they cook everything to order and it only took around 10-15 minutes.

Now the moment we are all really wanting to talk about—the food. It came out of the truck into my hands and immediately I had a feeling this was going to be good. I opened up the box and saw a mountain of food with eight wings, two rolls, and a pile of fries all stuffed inside.

I first tried the PB and J wing and can easily say I was not disappointed. The idea of it is similar to the chicken and waffle idea with sweet and salty. The peanut butter was smooth and tasty with a sweet jelly drizzled around the wing.

If you love chicken wings like I do you need to go to Smackin’ Wings and Things. These wings are made with love and care in food truck located in the Sears parking lot in Russellville. The people at the truck greet you like family.

They have many tradition flavor wings like honey barbeque, buffalo and garlic parmesan. But they also have other exotic flavors like peanut butter and jelly wings or the Reese’s cup wings.

They have bone in wings and boneless wings

for good price. For eight wings, one side and two rolls is $10.49. I ordered the hungry man plate. It comes with 12 wings, two sides, two rolls and drink, and I paid $14.44 for my meal.

For my two sides, I ordered macaroni and cheese and french fries. I would definitely would recommend trying that macaroni and cheese. It is a burst of flavor hitting your taste builds with its melted cheese reaching out and giving your tongue a hug.

The wings also did not disappoint. I ordered the garlic parmesan wings and with every bite it seemed liked a small piece of heaven.

NOAH DELASHAW/THE ARKA TECH PB and J wings (half) and Honey Hot wings (the other half) with rolls and fries.

The chicken was crispy and well cooked. It was meaty and tasted delicious.

My other flavor was the Honey Hot. I like buffalo mild sauce, but it is not my favorite. This flavor took that medium buffalo flavor and mixed it with a sweet honey flavor that fixed all the reasons I do not like buffalo sauce.

The rolls were warm and buttered up with a nice

seasoning on them that made them really complementary to the wings.

Lastly, the side of fries.

If you have had Taco Bell fries, they are pretty similar.

They were crispy, well-seasoned and tasted delicious.

Overall, if you are a fan of chicken wings and food that is well seasoned and relatively cheap for the amount, this is a place you need to visit.

Like many of you, I am deeply embroiled in finishing up papers and assignments and studying for finals. What this means is that I’ve found very little time to read. Due to my deep love of reading, I usually make time. Or put other things off so that I can read instead of checking anything else off my ever growing to-do list.

However, I seem to have found a solution.

I love short stories and short stories are a lot shorter than books or novellas. So, if I allow myself to read a short story or two a day, I get my reading fix in and still manage to keep my head above water with my various jobs and school assignments.

That said… this week’s book review will focus on a short story by one of my favorite authors—Stephen King. “The Raft” is found in Stephen King’s book of short stories, “Skeleton Crew.” “The Raft” focuses on four college students: Randy, Deke, Rachel and LaVerne. One crisp October day, the four are in Randy and Deke’s apartment, waxing nostalgia about the rapidly fading summer. Randy and Rachel are remembering a raft that floats out on the lake, and Deke, who is kind of a wild card, decides that all of them should go out to the lake and swim out to the raft. Keep in mind—this is Pennsylvania in October.

Bulletproof Boy Scouts taking up the stage in the U.S. JORDAN CLARK

Staff Writer

BTS, otherwise known as Bangtan Boys or Bulletproof Boy Scouts in Korean, is a South Korean boy band group that has recently become a sensation in American music culture. This group is the first Korean group to be nominated, as well as win, an award at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017, besting Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendez on the Top Social Artist award.

This Korean group is actually the second to take America’s music scene by storm to the 2013 release of “Gangnam Style” by Psy. Nonetheless, each of the 7 members bring their own energy to performing and do not stray from the limelight. The members of this phenomenal group are RM (Namjoon Kim), Jin (Seokjin Kim), Suga (Yoongi Min ), J-Hope (Hoseok Jung), Jimin (Jimin Park), V (Taehyung Kim) and Jungkook (Jungkook Jeon).

BTS originally started out as a duo in 2010, which hosted an audition to expand the group. The “Hit It” auditions settled the BTS members under Big Hit, a South

Korean entertainment company, and they debuted in 2013 with the song “No More Dream.” This song was placed on their first album, “2 Cool 4 Skool,” and was gladly welcomed in the South Korean music scene.

The group won several South Korean music awards, such as the 2013 Melon Music Award and Golden Disc Awards. Their first album was only the start of their “School Trilogy” series, which was followed by the

THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2018

release of 2013’s “O!Rul8,2!” and the release of 2014’s “Skool Luv Affair.”

The group combined love ballads and rap music together for a quite interesting experience. Later in the year 2014, the group released a full-length debut album, “Dark & Wild.” The group seemed to have taken the music industry by storm, so much so that when their next two albums released- they appeared in the Billboard’s

World Albums chart and set a record for K-pop music. The albums that were released were “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 1” followed by “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2.”

Later in 2016, this was overshadowed by their release of the “Wings” album.

“Wings” went on the Top 30 of the Billboard 200, setting a record for K-pop artists anywhere. “Wings” was soon re-released and made into “You Never Walk Alone,” adding in four new songs such as: “Spring Day” and “Not Today” to the original track list.

The group has performed a good amount of times in the United States. The group has yet to shy away from cameras as well, with appearing on shows like “Ellen” and CBS’s “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” BTS has used social media to reach out more to their fans, such as the YouTube Red series “BTS: Burn the Stage,” an 8-episode documentary series depicting the life of BTS during a tour of 20 cities in 300 days. BTS is a wonderful group to listen to, especially for music lovers who are looking for something new and exciting.

'Castle in the sky' crashes arkatechnews.com

SHELBY ARNOLD

Staff Writer

“Castle in the Sky” was the very first film to be released under the Studio Ghibli moniker. The film has the marks of a Studio Ghibli production with the inclusion of magic, a main character that looks like a later Ghibli creation and the ever present presence of aeronautical technology and the subject of environmental protection.

“Castle in the Sky” tells the story of Sheeta (Anna Paquin) who falls from the sky after being abducted by the evil Colonel Muska (Mark Hamill). She falls into a mining town and is rescued by young Pazu (James Van Der Beek) while also being chased by a band of air pirates lead by Captain Dola (Cloris Leachman). Sheeta possess a mysterious amulet that not only saves her from falling from the sky, but it will lead them straight to the legendary

floating castle of Laputa. Muska seeks the castle for the riches inside. Sheeta doesn’t want anything to do with it.

Soon, it’s a race to save the world as Laputa’s riches turn out to be far more destructive than anyone could have imagined.

I’m, honestly, not completely sure about this film. I think “Nausicaä” spoiled me in terms of Miyazaki’s talent and storytelling ability. Sure, the animation is beautiful. Miyazaki always creates extremely beautiful and detail oriented anime films. However, “Castle” dragged. I really feel like it could have ended at least thirty minutes earlier than it did. The sub plot with the space pirates was a nice touch but the parts with Pazu and Sheeta doing work on Captain Dola’s ship didn’t really seem to fit in the plot. Or, rather, the whole thing with Muska simply seemed trite? It’s difficult to explain but this film really didn’t jive with me like “Nausicaä” did.

Randy but still kind of wants to do dirty things with Deke, immediately agrees. Randy and Rachel are the only two who are apprehensive about it, but Randy agrees so maybe LaVerne will stop looking at Deke like that and thus, Rachel is strong armed into going with them.

Once there, Randy and Deke are the first two in the water, followed extremely hesitantly by LaVerne and Rachel. As Randy is swimming to the raft, he notices what looks like an oil slick. Except it can’t be that. It’s too perfectly

but it definitely isn’t something quite as moving as was “Nausicaä” in the grand scheme of things.

REPS From Page 1 circular and pure black.

After reaching the raft, Randy notices that the black circle has halved the distance between its original place and the raft and he is struck with an unexplainable and unrelenting terror. He won’t find out just how apropos his terror is until it’s too late for at least one member of their group.

I won’t say “The Raft” is my favorite King story. I will say that King’s voice is striking and wonderfully present in this story. You get moments of humor, terror

SIMPLY CASUAL

and those WTF moments that King is famous for, and it is all nicely woven together in this story.

What I really love about this story is that it immediately sucks you in.

You are instantly present in this world. We all know a Deke and a LaVerne and a Rachel, and that’s part of what makes this story so good.

This story’s ability to bring you so completely into its world, makes it the perfect story to read through when you feel like you just can’t study anymore.

to get service hours. Jordan said since PLC works with alumni, the organization also creates possible networking opportunities for its members.

“PLC was one the first organizations I joined, and I instantly fell in love with it.

It has improved so many of my networking and leadership skills,” Blake Hurley, a senior marketing and management major from Clarksville said.

Hurley, the organization’s current president, said being a part of PLC has allowed her to connect with Tech alumni in a way she

never thought she would.

She said she is grateful for this organization because it has allowed her to experience many of Tech’s traditions that make our university unique.

To become a member of PLC, students who are interested fill out an application followed by an interview process. The students are chosen to be a part of the organization every spring semester and officers are chosen after the interviews take place. Membership interviews have already taken place for this year, and the organization is currently

in the process of choosing new officers.

Olivia Karnes, junior rehab science major from West Fork, said she believes everyone should try to become a part of PLC sometime in their college career.

“PLC gives students an amazing opportunity to become a leader. It is a great way to get involved on campus, and an awesome way to make networking connections with the people who left their legacy on campus so many years ago,” Karnes, who currently serves as director of outreach for PLC, said.

BOOK From Page 6

Don’t get me wrong, though. Miyazaki delivered one heck of an allegory about the dangers of weapons of mass destruction and the importance of environmental conservation. Laputa, when Pazu and Sheeta finally crash land on it, is abandoned and the once technologically superior floating castle in the sky is overtaken by nature and trees and absolute beauty that the people on earth don’t have. Muska comes in like a wrecking ball and seeks to destroy it for his own tyrannical power and Sheeta, who is far younger than Muska, wants to save Laputa and prevent the killing of such beauty. Note the pattern here?

Despite all the allegory and the beautiful animation, I felt that this film was a bit of a let-down. I wish I could explain why. Sometimes, you just really don’t like a film and I think this was one of those in my opinion. That’s not to say that I won’t ever watch it again
