Flashes head to the Big Dance

SHORT The ‘Stater’ wants your leftovers It’s the end of the semester, and like every semester, many still have hundreds of dollars left on their meal plans. No one wants to give money back to the university, and who could possibly use more than $10 worth of crackers? Well, we could. As the semester winds down, the Daily Kent Stater will be donating non-perishable foods to LoveLight, Inc., a local non-profit organization, as it gears up for its summer program. From mid-June to the beginning of August, LoveLight will provide nutritious lunches and activities for children in lowincome neighborhoods in the Kent/Brady Lake area. Betsy Justice, doctoral student in educational psychology and part-time instructor at Kent State, established LoveLight, Inc., in 1995 to help educate disadvantaged children in Kent. Here are some items LoveLight needs: ■ Canned fruits and vegetables ■ Crackers ■ Soups ■ Juice ■ Peanut butter/ jelly ■ Salad dressing These and other nonperishable food items can be dropped off at the Stater newsroom located in 100 Taylor Hall. Anyone interested in volunteering or donating money or supplies such as art materials and games to LoveLight can contact Justice at lkjust1@kent.edu.

KSU plans Biloxi relief trip for Spring Break Bryan Wroten

Daily Kent Stater Students at Kent State have an alternative to the stereotypical spring break. They would still be near the Gulf of Mexico and getting a tan. But instead of partying, the volunteers for Kent State United for Biloxi would be rebuilding homes and clearing debris. President Carol Cartwright made the announcement yesterday during the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. “We have to do what it takes

to help,” said Ron Perkins, assistant director of University Dining Services. The program will send student, faculty and staff volunteers to Biloxi, Miss., as relief effort to the area, Perkins said. As co-chair of the project, Perkins said he’s hoping to have 500 volunteers. He said he realizes 500 sounds like a lot when they only have 80 volunteers as of yesterday, but it doesn’t matter. “We might have more, we might have less,” he said. “I’m going anyway.” Working with Perkins are Gary Padak, dean of Undergraduate

most likely just reduce the cost to $250 per volunteer. Students can receive course credit for volunteering, Padak said. Those already enrolled in Perkins’ Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn course have the opportunity to earn credit for helping with the relief effort, he said. Those not in the class can sign up for a special topics course for one credit hour. The course number is US 20095 ST: KS United for Biloxi Serve Learn. Perkins said the deadline for joining his class is today, but he is trying to extend it for the program. Garrison said volunteers

would help rebuild houses, muck out houses, clear away debris, provide tutorial services for children and help churches.

“We’re not suffering delusions that we are going to make a great impact,” he said. “We think that whatever help we can do, in conjunction with what everyone else is doing, will actually make a big solution to the problems.”

Leaders honored at celebration

Assistant professor wins Democratic primary for House Vernon Sykes defeated Patrick Bravo in yesterday’s Democratic primary election for the 44th District of the Ohio House of Representatives. This district represents Summit County. Sykes received 78 percent of 10,851 votes. Sykes is a political science assistant professor and is the director of the Columbus program. He is a former Akron City Council member. The 54-year-old served as a representative for a West Akron district from 1983-2000. He served as the assistant majority floor leader and leader of the Black Caucus. In the November election, Sykes will face Republican Joseph Crawford.

Studies, and George Garrison, professor of Pan-African Studies. Garrison has already done some relief work in the Gulf area with the Kent State Hurricane Relief Coalition. Though Biloxi was originally the area he hoped to help, he said they were unable to access the area because of the damage. Padak said the program will cost volunteers $461, which averages out to about $66 a day, including food, lodging and transportation. He said there will be fundraising to help reimburse volunteers after the trip. While being able to fully reimburse volunteers would be ideal, he said they will

Outstanding professors to be awarded for their hard work Amanda Garrett

Daily Kent Stater Six Kent State professors will have $1,500 dollars and a trophy when the Alumni Association’s teaching awards are handed out later this month. The association’s awards are split into two divisions to honor both tenure and non-tenure faculty. The Distinguished Teaching Awards honor tenured faculty who have worked at Kent State for at least seven years. There are 10 finalists for the award. Thomas Schmidlin, a finalist and geography professor, said he was delighted when he learned the news. “It’s really nice to be nominated for this award,” he said. “I know other people who got the award, but I was surprised when they called me to tell me I was a finalist. It’s pretty cool.” The winners will be announced at the Celebrating Teaching Conference Luncheon on Oct. 21. The winners for the Outstanding Teaching Awards, which covers non-tenured faculty, have already been announced, said Sandra Eaglen, who coordinates the awards. The three winners are Thom-

as Rutledge, a speech pathology and audiology professor; Sheri Leafgren, a teaching, leadership and curriculum professor and Art Professor Juliann Dorff. Dorff found out she was a winner when the awards committee came to her classroom. “It was extremely humbling and gratifying to win the award,” she said. “They came into my class with cakes and balloons and flowers to tell me I won the award. It was a little hard to concentrate on teaching after that.” A committee made up of former winners, alumni and current students chose this year’s award recipients. The committee picks the winners based on a portfolio submitted by the finalists. The portfolio includes a curriculum vitae, comments from students and faculty and copies of syllabi and tests from the professors’ classes, Eaglen said. The committee is looking for professors who “stand out,” she said. “We’re looking for professors who go beyond great,” she said. “We’re looking for something extraordinary.” Contact academic affairs reporter Amanda Garrett at agarrett@kent.edu.

Students were recognized for their leadership, accomplishments and services to one or more Kent State organizations at the 28th Annual Student Leadership and Honors Award Celebration and Inauguration. Eighteen award categories were recognized last night and many more awards were presented. The American Red Cross kicked off the celebration by presenting President Carol Cartwright with an award recognizing Kent State’s efforts in Biloxi. “This is a wonderful honor,” Cartwright said. “It reminds us of the commitment we have, and it affirms the values we have at Kent State.” Following the presentation of the Biloxi award, all newly elected officers of student organizations, including new members of the Undergraduate Student Senate, took their oaths of commitment to service. Ross Miltner, executive director

He said he would work with Ben Feld, senator for student advancement, to address the issue

of student safety on campus. “I will work with the safety commission and student senate to evaluate the current safety,” Feld said.

City of Kent kicks off 200th year with event Katie Hilbert

Daily Kent Stater The city of Kent celebrated its 200th birthday Saturday at the United Methodist Church of Kent, and four artistically decorated cakes from local bakeries helped kick-off what will be a year of celebration for the city and its residents. The cakes, donated from Glo-

ria’s Koffe n’ Kakes, Stahl’s Bakery, Judy’s Sweet Sensations and Wild Goats Café, were part of a three-hour event organized by the Bicentennial Committee. The committee, which has 16 members, is co-chaired by Mayor John Fender and Pat Morton. The morning began with piano music by David Dix, publisher of the Record-Courier, and a welcome

and introduction by Fender and Dan Smith, the executive director of the Kent Area Chamber of Commerce. During the introduction, Fender explained what guests could expect at the event and said the event would last about three hours, so people would probably be coming in and out. “If you stay three hours, you

Greek Life TIFFANY LANE UTimes assistant editor

A Greek Village is currently under construction between Campus Walk and Campus Edge apartments off John Kirk Road. Originally, sorority and fraternity students made a request to UNC Charlotte in 1999 to add this community for Greek students. It was not until 2004 that a construction company stepped up to take on the project. Expected to be complete by January 2007, the Greek Village houses five sororities and eight fraternities for a total of 13 housing units. 12 of these houses hold 28 students and one holds 14. The units include a chapter room, dining area, offi ce and kitchen. According to Assistant Dean of Students Stephen Hunt, there are only positive aspects of this addition. First, the location builds a strong Greek community, and second, since most groups are not yet housed, the Village offers a more organized and personal atmosphere. The only qualification to move into this community is that a sorority or fraternity be interested, and when the Village is complete, there will only be two off-campus fraternities left on Mallard Creek Church Road. Since the site for the Greek Village only has room for 13 houses, 11 organizations will keep operating with no actual facility. The sororities currently residing in Sanford are among the organizations moving into the Village. Overall, Hunt says he is excited about the Greek Village and feels that it provides a stronger Greek experience and an opportunity to be more involved with the organizations. He adds that it will also be an active place on the weekends, so now you know!

Sales Promotion Materials Throughout the fall semester, The University Daily Kansan produced several special sections that had a deadline in a short time period. To combat The Kansan’s employees confusion on these sections, the Sales Manager created client-ready fliers specifying details about these sections. These fliers were useful for not only our clients, but also for the representatives to better understand how their clients best fit within the special section. During our weekly meetings, managers stress that each representative should pitch The Kansan’s special sections that receive higher readership than the daily paper. For example, by not mentioning the opportunity to advertise in “Football in Review,” some clients may not actively reach students who support KU’s football team. Therefore, these below fliers emphasize why each local, regional and national business should promote their services in The Kansan’s special sections.
