Students go serial on theft UCF PD warns students to register their laptops KATIE KUSTURA Editor-in-Chief
In light of recent laptop thefts from the UCF Library, the police department has a message for students: register your property. “We’ve got to do something to get these property crimes under control, and we need your help by at least just registering your
property,” said Sgt. Troy Williamson, the spokesman for the UCF Police Department. Since the initial arrest of Kevin Carlos Mills, 30, who was charged in connection to at least four of the laptop thefts from the library, Williamson has been roaming the library, informing students about registering their property online with campus

Boy testifies adoptive parents denied him food
Contributing Writer and Copy Editor
SANFORD — A 10year-old boy told jurors in a central Florida courtroom that he was abused by his adoptive parents who denied him food and spanked him until he bled. The child was one of the state’s first witnesses Tuesday in the neglect case against 50-year-old Dwayne Hardy of Altamonte Springs. Hardy is accused of neglecting the child and his sister who is now 7. His wife, Pamela Hardy, faces aggravated child abuse charges in addition to neglect.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer is answering back after the Food Not Bombs protest outside of the UCF Student Union last Thursday, claiming that he has not been represented well in the media. According to Dyer, the media has Dyer led the group and the public to believe that the city has banned homeless feedings in the city and insists that is false. “I am committed to extending help and opportunity to our homeless population,” Dyer said. At last count, 15 individuals have been arrested in Lake Eola Park for distributing food and feeding the homeless due to Dyer’s fullyenforced food ordinance. Under the ordinance, passed by City Council in 2006, groups are required to have a permit to hand out food to groups larger than 25 people in a downtown park and may only receive this permit twice per

Black Box actors go ‘Barefoot’ in June NADIA AFGHANI Contributing Writer
To kick off the 20112012 season, the UCF Conservatory Theater is featuring their production of the romantic comedy Barefoot in the Park in the Black Box Theater through June 19. The revival is based on the 1963 Broadway production by Neil Simon about two newlyweds struggling to adjust to the turbulence of married life. A season selection committee chooses productions, but director Mark Brotherton was excited to be involved with a famous play which expresses a universal theme. “It’s set in 1964, so people from 1964 will find it funny,” Brotherton said,

Expensive electronics attributed to rising theft FROM A1 these computers.” Senior business management major Brian Powell was in the library on Tuesday when Williamson made a trip there to inform students. Powell said he had heard about the thefts via the emails that Williamson sends out. “I appreciate that,” Powell told Williamson. Powell said he hopes to get a new laptop soon, and as soon as he does, he plans on registering it online. Senior biomedical sciences major Loren Touma said she heard about the thefts on the news. “I heard about the guy who came on campus and was pawning them, and I was actually pretty upset,” Touma said. “You kind of think your stuff is safe, somewhat, on campus.” Frank Allen, the associate director for Administrative Services, said he thinks that part of the issue may be that students have a sense of safety and well-being in the building that leads to letting their guard down a little bit. “They’ll lock up their $200 bike outside, but they won’t always safeguard their $700 laptop,” Allen said. When situations like this do occur, Allen said the library has put additional signs out that advise students to watch over their possessions. “We will have another discussion about temporarily putting some signage up in some different locations,” Allen said. “The problem with signage is that it gets stale. It’s human nature to tune signage out after you’ve seen it once or twice.” Junior marketing major
Andrew Pina asked junior biology major Ryan Stanfield, who was sitting at the workspace next to him, to watch over his things when he wanted to take a short break from his studies. “He was there for a little while, so I thought I could trust him,” Pina said. Though Stanfield did watch over Pina’s things like he’d asked, Williamson advised against doing this. “Your shirt doesn’t say ‘I’m a UCF student,’ so you really don’t know who you’re sitting next to,” Williamson said. Williamson told Pina about registering his property online, and Pina decided to do so right then. “I’ll forget,” Pina said, regarding why he decided to sign up immediately. “And I love my laptop.” Allen and Williamson believe some of the reasons for the thefts can be attributed to an increased use in expensive electronics, especially laptops. “Part of what’s happening is there has been an explosion of usage in laptops, so while the percentage of patrons who are victimized is quite small, it still hurts to hear every time we receive a theft report,” Allen said. Williamson said that criminals will often focus on stealing and pawning popular items. “The iPad, for example, is a hot item right now, so they may think, ‘Well, iPads, I’ll start stealing those. It’s a new trend and I can probably get more money for those,’” Williamson said. Williamson hopes that students will be more mindful of their property, and in an effort to encourage that he hopes to have

Activists demand end to park ordinance, arrests FROM A1 year. The permits, which are free, must be acquired in advance to ensure the safety of citizens through appropriate crowd control and waste management measures. The Orlando Sentinel reported Dyer using the phrase “food terrorists” in describing the organization’s activities to push a political agenda. “The fact that our city mayor called us food terrorists is ridiculous,” said Dylan Howeller, a Valencia Community College student who was arrested last Monday. “It’s stupid that we have to jump through hoops to help people. The solution would be to give us a place to do it.” During last week’s protest, visitors of the UCF campus were informed of this growing dilemma in Orlando and have made an impression on whether they would like to attend school in a place with such an issue. “Why’s the mayor so mad?” Antonio Scott of West Palm Beach said. “If you have people willing to feed the hungry, why won’t the mayor just let them do it?” As far as the students and other members of Food Not Bombs, they believe that public parks should be used for “public needs.” “I don’t know too much about the other organization that feed the homeless,” senior physics major Mark Langhirt said. “This is a freedom of assembly issue.” In response to the arrests, Food Not Bombs has demanded that Dyer stop enforcing the ordinance, drop charges against those who were arrested, rescind issued trespass warnings and meet with the group to discuss hunger and poverty issues.

UCF students,faculty and supporters of Food Not Bombs protest the City of Orlando’s Large Group Feeding Ordinance in the free speech zone in front of the Student Union on Thursday,June 9.The law prevents feeding the homeless in public parks.
The Sentinel reported that Dyer is willing to talk and has “offered [Food Not Bombs] alternative sites to feed.” “There are a myriad of community service agencies in Downtown Orlando where the homeless can get meals everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” Dyer said. On Sylvia Lane, for example, there is a designated area to set up feedings for the homeless, with tables, benches and security. In addition to the daily meals, these community
For more photos of the protest: www.UCFNews.com agencies provide counseling, job training, education and health care services. Dyer’s goal is to not only feed the homeless but end homelessness altogether, he said. The Central Florida Commission on Homelessness is working to establish Ten2End, a ten-year plan to end homelessness in Central Florida by addressing gaps in existing programs and identifying the practical steps necessary.
Since the formation of the CFCH, the Central Florida community has received an unprecedented amount of funding and resources dedicated toward homeless services in the Orlando area. “Ending homelessness remains a top priority for the City of Orlando and the Central Florida region as we continue to work together to address homelessness with a holistic approach focused on housing, prevention, health care and supportive systems,” Dyer said.

‘Barefoot’ shows that ‘love is never simple’ FROM A1 ceiling. Corie Bratter is a vivacious young woman bursting with life and wedded bliss, always trying to rouse her practical mother Mrs. Banks, played by Robin Olson, and straight-laced attorney husband, Paul. After enough headache and heartburn, due in part to their eccentric neighbor Victor Velasco, tensions erupt and threaten to destroy the love that held them together. Audience members young and old laughed, some even shedding tears, as the characters took them on an emotional journey. They displayed their appreciation with a standing ovation in the end. Micro & molecular biology major Wes Budd waited to congratulate the actors after the show. He has only attended one show prior to Barefoot but enjoyed the experience and plans to catch more in the future. “It’s a nice break from summer courses and work,” Budd said, “like going to see a movie.” Lead actress Mallory
Murphy was thrilled with the turnout on the second night, which was much larger than she anticipated. “It’s one of the best times I’ve ever had! You get nervous beforehand, but then you got out there and it’s so exhilarating. The audiences are so wonderful!” said Murphy, who plays Corie in the production. With their ease of execution, the audience would have never known the cast and crew had mere weeks to construct the show. Vince Hannam, a junior theater major who plays Paul Bratter, attributed the short rehearsal period to that of a professional level. “During the year, rehearsal process would last several months. During the summer, focusing on the professional aspect since, in the real world, you only get about two weeks, we had three weeks: eighthour days, six days a week.” Michael Dritto, assistant director with the role of Telephone Repair Man, described the hectic yearround schedules involving numerous short scenes due for their theater class-

es, on top of rehearsing for main stage performances. However, he is thankful for the chance to evolve as an actor. “The faculty does a good job in picking a variety of different types of plays so that we can immerse ourselves and try to expand through our classmates with the different roles we’re given,” Drit-
to said. With two years remaining in her theater degree, Murphy hopes this performance will pave the way for future roles in any genre, but admits that this particular role has been one of her favorites. “Playing Corie is a dream role,” Murphy said. “You never have a dull moment on stage; you’re
hardly ever off stage! It’s a challenge, but it’s so much fun.” Students must be educated in all aspects of theater for a fully-engaged experience, regardless of their field. They are even required to take a “Careers” class which, Brotherton explained, not only prepares students for the auditions, but also
arms them with knowledge of the entire business side. Although the crew is composed of UCF’s own, not all actors are selected from the pool of more than 500 faculty, staff and students. Don Seay, who plays Velasco, and any actors not affiliated with UCF but cast in other productions, appear courtesy of the Actors Equity Association, a labor union representing American theater actors and stage managers since 1913. For fans who prefer the cinematic experience, Simon made his screenwriting debut in 1967 with a film adaptation of Barefoot starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda as the loveable, opposite duo. The central theme remains the same, as Brotherton concludes in his director’s notes: “Love can be funny, love can be romantic, but love is never simple.” Performances are being held Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through June 19 at the UCF Black Box Theater. Tickets are $10 for students, $15 for seniors and $17 for adults.
Restaurant in remembrance FROM A1 Dave’s Market is just all about living by the three F’s: food, fun, and friends. So we just tried to incorporate that into our theme, just great food, great friends, and great fun.” Schaefer and Roach won fourth place out of 16 entrants in the annual competition, earning $2,000. They planned the restaurant, Dave’s Market, around Dave’s passions: fresh food and craft beer. In addition, they wanted to create an open-air, friendly atmosphere. “Our tagline was, ‘Chef-inspired seasonal cuisine with a local touch,’” Schaefer said. “We wanted to do the freshest food possible with local ingredients, but more of a fun relaxed atmosphere; not like a stuffy restaurant, like when you go into Season 52 it’s really dark and very quiet. This is more of a market, open feel where we do craft beer pairings with the meal. We’re a fun, relaxed atmosphere while serving quality food.”
Each year, the UCF Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the college of business hosts the Joust Business Plan Tournament. This tournament gives students the opportunity to create a plan for opening their own business and present it to a judging panel of some of UCF’s most distinguished alumni. “[The Joust] is open to students from all disciplines; we have had most any kind of business idea you can imagine proposed over the seven years we’ve been running it. It’s a cultural event celebrating entrepreneurship throughout the academic community,” said Dr. Cameron Ford, founding director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. According to Roach, it took him and Schaefer six months of work, creating an innovative menu and conducting market research, to put together a 15-minute business plan presentation. The main focus of the restaurant was to provide consumers with what they have been
wanting for years: food that is fresh and healthy. “Our restaurant was solely based on providing fresh ingredients already, you don’t have to have a healthy menu and a regular menu, it’s all incorporated into one,” Schaefer said. “We kind of started off that, and Kyle works at Carrabba’s, so he has kind of the operational standpoint of how the day-today is run. And so we collaborated on the menu together. We did research on how to write a menu, and it kind of came together as we were writing it all. Schaefer said that it took a lot of research into what consumers currently look for when selecting a restaurant in order to perfect their concept. “We followed a lot of trends for what is happening in 2011 for the way that consumers should be eating, but they’re not, so we wanted to incorporate that into our business plan,” he said. Both Roach and Schaefer plan to compete again in the Joust next year. Schaefer said that not only

did participating in Joust expand his network list and boost his résumé, but he came away knowing a bit more about the opening your own business. “I do want to end up in business somewhere, and I think that this has taught me more than any classroom could teach me because it’s real world. I’m going out and meeting
people and looking at what customers actually want to eat,” Schaefer said. Roach said that what he really gained from competing in Joust, besides a cut of the prize money which will pay off his final semester at school, was the experience of what life after college will be like, as well as the feeling of
putting your ideas out there for the world to see. “I really just saw how awesome it is to present your ideas and them be accepted by respected people in the public,” Roach said. “I really gained a lot of knowledge on how to start a business and everything that goes into it. It’s just a really great opportunity.”

MAVS GUARD ARRESTED FOR PUBLIC INTOXICATION
IRVING, Texas — Dallas Mavericks guard DeShawn Stevenson has been arrested for public intoxication. Police in suburban Irving, Texas, say Stevenson was arrested Tuesday night after reports of an intoxicated person walking through the grounds of an apartment complex. Police say Stevenson didn’t know where he was and he was arrested after field sobriety tests. He was released from jail Wednesday morning after posting bail. Mavericks spokeswoman Sarah Melton said Wednesday that the team had no comment on the arrest. Stevenson is a 10-year veteran who played a key role for the Mavericks as they won their first NBA title against Miami.
FOOTBALL NFL LOCKOUT ENDING SOON?
NEW YORK — An end to the NFL lockout might not be imminent, but it does appears much closer than at any point in the last three months. Recent progress in labor talks between the league and players has sparked a new sense of optimism, and team owners have been told to be ready to extend their one-day meetings in Chicago next week. The two sides made progress in labor negotiations held Tuesday at an undisclosed location in Maryland. Those talks will go through at least Wednesday and quite possibly to the end of the week. A person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press that finalizing an agreement by next week’s owners’ meetings is unlikely. But a framework for a new collective bargaining deal could be presented in Chicago, with further tweaking extending the work stoppage until the end of the month. A new CBA could be in place before the July 4th weekend, the person added, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the meeting are not being made public.

Productivity for a player during the offseason can be measured in a variety of ways. There’s weight loss, muscle gain, skill development; the usual barometers. And, in the case of UCF forward Keith Clanton, there’s the amount of frequent flyer miles racked up. Clanton took his game to the Far East this summer, traveling to China as a part of the 2011 Reach USA Cultural Exchange Trip. The junior forward was a part of a college allstar team featuring players from schools
such as Kentucky, Indiana, TCU and Nevada. “It was a real good because sometimes you get used to just playing with your same UCF team, and if you’re trying to make it to the next level you have to play with different players,” said Clanton. Clanton averaged a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds over the course of the team’s nine-game tour. The team finished with a record of 6-2-1. In the American team’s last
contest against a team from Brazil, Clanton dominated the boards, pick-

Clanton believes he did well but also noted the differences of playing ball on the international level. “It’s a real different style of play. The free throw line’s different, the paint’s bigger,” Clanton said. “I had a couple bad games, but overall I think I did pretty good.” Perhaps just as valuable for the Knights’ second leading scorer was the experience of traveling to a new place. In addition, the trip was organized by Sports Reach, a Christian ministry based out of Kentucky, allowing the players an opportunity to talk to people about their faith. “China was a real different for me; I’d never seen anything like that,” Clanton said. “I got to see the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City. Coaches talked to a lot of players, [and] we got to talk to and meet a lot of people;
talk to them about God and stuff. It was a real good experience. If I had to give it a grade, I would give it an A-plus.” Coach Donnie Jones expressed similar approval of the trip and the effect it would have for one of his impact players. “It is a great opportunity for him to travel and get to see a different country," Jones said in a release. “It is a great opportunity for him to improve his game over the summer." Now that he is back, Clanton is enjoying his summer, but is also anxious to get ready for next season. “It’s going good; just trying to work hard, stay in the weight room and practice every day,” Clanton said. Specifically, Clanton noted his need to improve his strength during the course of the offseason. “I think the biggest thing [to improve on] is strength. I [have] been working on a lot of strength and just being able to guard more than one position."
US OPEN RETURNS TO LONG ISLAND’S SHINNECOCK HILLS
BETHESDA, Md. — The U.S. Open will return to Shinnecock Hills in 2018, heading back to a course that produced one of the most embarrassing final rounds in the tournament’s history. Retief Goosen won by two shots over Phil Mickelson in 2004 after a final round marred by greens that were almost too fast to play. At one point, officials had to sprinkle the seventh green simply to keep balls on the putting surface. Ernie Els played in the final group that day and shot 80. No one broke par in the final round and the average score was 78.7. USGA officials conceded they lost control of the course. But they said new course-setup guidelines introduced shortly after Shinnecock — including the idea of gradually increasing heights of rough — make them confident they won’t have a repeat in 2018, which will mark the fifth U.S. Open to take place at one of the country’s hallmark courses. “Shinnecock is a challenging course to set up, and we certainly experienced that in 2004 when we let the course get away from us the last round,” USGA president Jim Hyler said Wednesday. “This has been well chronicled and discussed over the years. I will tell you that we have used this as a wholesome learning experience, and this experience led us to the development of our current setup philosophy that we use today.” Other winners at Shinnecock include Raymond Floyd in 1986 and Corey Pavin in 1995. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

Matulis will return to UCF FROM A6 coach Rooney out of high school, and I always planned on pitching for coach Rooney. I had to sit out a year regardless because of the elbow injury so when the opportunity arose, I thought it would make sense. It was closer to home, and I got a chance to pitch for coach Rooney, so I jumped at the opportunity. CFF: What does it mean for you to be rerecruited by coach Rooney? Matulis: It means a lot. He’s got a great reputation as far as a recruiter and a coach, and he’s done a lot with the program so far. You know, we got to a regional this year and we were close to pulling some games and close to winning the regional, and I’m just looking for better things in the future. He’s a great pitching coach, and I’m looking forward to helping the team next year. CFF: So you will stick around to play at UCF for a season or two before you go pro? Matulis: Yes. I plan on coming back next year and pitching for UCF and helping the team. CFF: How hard was it to see the Knights play this season and not be able to join them? Matulis: It was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, you know, because you go through the whole fall and spring with the team, working out and doing all that kind of stuff and going through with the grind with the team with practic-
ing and everything and then when it comes down to game time, you can only watch and not be able to help. I try to do my part, help out some of the freshmen and get on the dugout, keeping guys up, but it was really difficult. CFF: What was your role on the team this season? Matulis: This season, it was pretty much just trying to be as much of a team leader as I could and kind of keep the attitude up in the dugout and just kind of help where I could; like if I could offer any help to some of the pitchers, like if I noticed anything, or just talking baseball, pretty much. I couldn’t do too much. They’re a great group of guys and I’ve learned a lot from them, so it was just so far past the emotional leader of the dugout. CFF: What has coach Rooney been able to teach you so far? Matulis: So far, it’s been a little limited, but he’s helped me out with every bullpen [session] he can get to. And every time I throw, usually he’s there to try to make sure my mechanics are right … so that I can be the best pitcher as possible when I get back to 100 percent and I’m throwing in games. He knows the game of baseball; he knows pitching. CFF: How are you recovering so far from your surgery? Matulis: Real well, real well; thank you. Surgery is about 10 months out, little more than 10 months out, and it’s been a long 10 months but the arm feels
good; everything feels good. I feel strong and I’m ready to go. CFF: What would you say your best pitches are? Matulis: My best pitches are probably fastball and changeup. I can complement that with a curve ball, but probably my best pitch is my changeup. CFF: What kind of pitcher are you? Matulis: I can’t really tell right now because I haven’t pitched in so long and things have changed. I’ve gotten stronger. I might be a power pitcher when I get back or I might be just a location guy; I don’t really know yet. I’d like to believe I can do a little bit of both. CFF: Is there a certain kind of role that you’re hoping to earn next season? Matulis: I’m hoping to be in the weekend rotation and get as many wins, as many innings as I possibly can. CFF: Were you part of the weekend rotation with LSU? Matulis: I was in and out of the weekend rotation my sophomore year, and I was a midweek starter my freshman year. CFF: What are you most looking forward to in the coming year? Matulis: Just the opportunity to get with the guys again and go through the fall and get to the spring and help the team and find a way to get to Omaha — the ultimate goal. And that’s what I’m looking forward to.

Food Truck Bazaar in Orlando brings more than just street food JORDAN SNYDER Contributing Writer
The food truck trend that has been sweeping the nation has made a pit stop in the Central Florida area. TheDailyCity.com put on its first food truck bazaar at the Food Truck Bazaar Summer Series this past Sunday at the Oviedo Mall. Foodies and families alike gathered in the parking lot of the Oviedo Mall to admire and demolish a diversity of delicious offerings. The variety of attendees were able to pick and choose from the wide assortment of food options available. For dinner, the bazaar offered everything from down-home barbecue at Firehouse BBQ to Spanishstyle octopus skewers at Big Wheel. Amanda DePreta, a mas-

ter’s student specializing in mechanical engineering at UCF, visited six trucks within the first two hours of the event. DePreta said that, in that span of time, she and her friends had managed to eat fried food, soul food and barbecue. They completed their cui-
sine quest by polishing off some cupcakes. Unable to choose her favorite truck from the large selection, DePreta narrowed her favorites down to either Firehouse BBQ or The Tree House. Croix Provence, senior theater major, traveled to
the bazaar for just a single truck, The Crooked Spoon. Eyes nearly glazed over, Provence described her reasoning with one simple sentence. “Macaroni and cheese with bacon, it’s incredible,”

While they may have gotten older since their No. 1 album Beauty and the Beat debuted in 1981, the first all-girl band to top the Billbord 100 by both writing their own songs and playing their own instruments still had it in them to put on a show to remember. The Go-Go’s, who have their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, opened for Universal’s Summer Concert Series Saturday night. Long-time fans came out for the 30th anniversary of Beauty and the Beat to hear all their old favorite songs like “Vacation,” “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips are Sealed” and the rest of the songs from the album that spent weeks atop the U.S. pop
charts in 1982. Though three decades have passed since the album’s release, the show brought back a real ’80s vibe, with shiny streamers and sequins. To top it off, singer Belinda Carlisle even brought out a tambourine for a few of their songs. Self-proclaimed “big fan” Diane Rodriguez, an interdisciplinary studies major at UCF, said she came out with her friends to see the Go-Go’s play her favorite song, “Vacation.” “I’ve been a fan for a long time,” Rodriguez said. “I’ve been planning for three weeks to come tonight.” Another fan, Misty Johns from Orlando, said she came with her friend to see the Go-Go’s after she heard about the show from relatives. “I liked their newer

songs,” Johns said. Aside from their ’80s hits, the Go-Go’s played “Unforgiven,” a 2001 single that was written in collaboration with Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Lead guitarist Jane Wiedlin called Green Day, “one of our favorite
bands,” before playing the song. Who is “unforgiven,” you ask? Although they wouldn’t say, Wiedlin hinted that the chord progression of the song spells out his name. Near the end of the show, Carlisle’s son, 19-
year-old James Duke Mason, joined his mother on stage to sing “The Whole World’s Lost Its Head.” Other songs from the set list included “Automatic,” a song written in the “second-saddest key” by Wiedlin; “Cool Places,” “Head over Heels,” “Lust to Love” and “Get Up and Go.” Also playing this month in the concert series are hip-hop artist Nelly on June 18, and alternative rock group Third Eye Blind on June 25. The July lineup includes R&B singer Trey Songz on July 2, rock group Boys Like Girls on July 9 and rapper/singer Drake on July 16. All concerts begin at 9 p.m. For more information on the concert series, visit www.universalorlando.com.

Bazaar runs until Aug. 28 FROM A8 Provence said. Those craving something sweet had the option of grabbing some delectable fare from The Tree House food truck, where deep-fried Oreos and Twinkies lured in sweet tooths. Attendees looking for something a little less likely to give them a heart attack before they reached their car could head over to the Yum Yum Cupcake truck for an assortment of mini-cupcakes. Grace Cascone, junior psychology major, said that she came to the Food Truck Bazaar because she and her boyfriend absolutely love food trucks. “I really like the arepa truck, I’ve been there

when they’re not here,” Cascone said of the Colombian-themed truck. “I’ve been dying to try the Yum Yum Cupcake Truck, so I got my cupcakes.” Eating from a food truck does not come without its drawbacks. Individuals who attend the Food Truck Bazaar
should expect long lines for nearly every truck. DePreta offered some words of wisdom for the food truck novice. “Get here early. We got here at six and split up, so we divided and conquered,” she said. “We got four trucks right off the bat.” So bring your friends, a wallet full of cash and an insatiable appetite to TheDailyCity.com’s Food Truck Bazaar Summer Series and dig in. The Bazaar will be held every Sunday until August 28, rotating between the Oviedo Mall, the Fashion Square Mall and the Parliament House Bar & Resort.

Scattered with paintings, found art, musical instruments and a medley of recording equipment, the home of the experimental rock duo known as Bellows more closely resembles a rugged art studio than a simple suburban house. The living room, doubling as both a makeshift recording studio and a cozy venue during house parties, is decked out with artwork, plastic trees and fake sculpted busts – evidence of Alex Stringfellow and Greyson Charnock’s overtly creative lifestyle. “We want it to be a music and an art experience, where you have stuff to not only listen to, but to look at and maybe ponder,” said Charnock, a senior fine arts major, about the band’s visual element. The two housemates formed Bellows last November after years of playing music together. The result has been a steady flow of recording sessions and gigs booked at local venues such as Pulse, World of Beer and BackBooth. “At the back half of the school year, we were going crazy, playing tons of shows. We’ve played with some pretty cool bands so far,” Charnock said, citing a show with Awesome New Republic, a two-piece band from Miami. Bellows’ music is difficult to assign to any specific genre and features a variety of instruments from their collection. They call it “experimental folk” or, simply, “a breed of rock n’ roll.” “We only classify it if we have to,” said Stringfellow, a

UCF alumnus. “Alex has a synth next to him at all times, and a harmonica and vocals,” Charnock said about their live shows. “We have a lot of stuff going on.” Senior construction engineering major Jacob Morgan, a close friend and fan of the band, feels their music is more “rock-electronica.” “When they play live they bring good energy to the venue, play passionately and genuinely enjoy their time entertaining,” Morgan said. “I like the fact that they play a two-man show, but create the sound of full band.” Morgan believes the band has had good success up to now and might be
well on their way to something substantial. Bellows say they will focus more on recording and fine-tuning in the coming months. “I think the recordings that we are going to get from home are going to be even better than the ones we got from the studio,” said Charnock, referring to earlier tracks recorded at FlatFoot Records at Valencia Community College. “Doing it here, we can come up with an idea and then go for it,” he explained. The duo plans to release a new single on the 26th of every month, starting with “Cat Got Your Tongue” in June. Bellows can be followed online at www.bandcalledbellows.com.
Opinions The Student Newspaper at UCF since 1968
OUR STANCE
Political parties: please make peace A
recent article on the website of National Public Radio talks about how Democrats are reviving Medicare as a political weapon. Many politicians are basing their campaigns on using programs such as these to divide and splinter the body politic. In May, Democrat Kathy Hochul ran a campaign for the House seat in New York’s 26th District. A good chunk of her campaign was based off of her opposition to the Republican budget that was passed in April, which included a plan from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that would have essentially privatized part of this important program for seniors and those with disabilities. Her campaign was successful, and many political experts attribute her victory to her steadfast vow to save Medicare. While highlighting differences between policy proposals to government programs is important and necessary to our political dialogue, demonizing the other side in the process leaves behind many deep wounds and resentments among voters. It creates sharp divisions that leave both sides digging their heels in rather than finding ways to work together. Medicare is an important program that all of us pay toward, and no doubt some of us will rely on in our golden years. Our elected officials
need to recognize that the need to protect programs like this one is something that extends far beyond the politics of the moment. When they speak, people listen. The heated debate over Ryan’s proposal, for example, got so bad that a liberal group, known as The Agenda Project, created an advertisement demonizing this Republican proposal for Medicare. In the ad, titled “America the Beautiful,” a man in a suit is seen pushing a smiling, elderly woman through the wilderness in a wheelchair. At the end of the ad, the man is shown throwing the woman off of her wheelchair and down the cliff, then turning around and walking away from the cliff. This type of advertising is notoriously effective; it is also wrong. This ad follows traditional political strategy on this issue by doing two simple things: making you afraid of it and telling you who is to blame for it. Winning elections this way, however, makes it even harder to fix problems. Scared voters end up being against other proposals that may come from an opposing political party because now they don’t appear trustworthy. The end result is that politicians don’t work with each other, and problems linger. This is resulting in many elected officials that do want to reach out and seek consen-
sus being driven from their party or from politics altogether. Former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.), was a Republican for the majority of his political life. He also liked to work with Democrats, and many labeled him a “moderate.” He moved to the Democratic party, where he hoped he would find a more favorable audience, but lost his party’s nomination to Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.), who eventually lost the race to Republican Pat Toomey. Sen. Joe Lieberman (IConn.) is another senator known for reaching out to the other side, but he was eventually driven out of his party over his support for the Iraq war. Instead, he kept his seat as an Independent. Leaders need to be mindful of the message they send out and make sure that they do not use issues to divide voters. This makes it difficult to come together and address the challenges that programs like Medicare, Medicaid and others face. We as constituents also have a responsibility to be open-minded and consider points of view that we may disagree with. We cannot automatically dismiss an idea because it comes from a political party that we don’t like. Maintaining a tone of civility in our politics is the only way to ensure that we are able to work together and solve our country’s problems.
