Despite ups and downs, Zendejas’ name shouldn’t be known for anything but family

International players on men’s tennis without family this weekend

By Kyle Johnson DAILY WILDCAT

Moving is always tough, especially if you are only 12 years old.

It’s even worse if you’re moving to a foreign country, and you’re moving all by yourself.

That was sophomore tennis player Giacomo Miccini’s journey to the United States in a nutshell.

Miccini left his native country of Italy to begin attending a premier tennis academy in Florida at the age of 12.

“It was tough in the beginning but then you get used to it, like all other things,” Miccini said.

Being far from home is not a unique occurrence for the men’s tennis team. Of the eight players on the Arizona roster, five of them have an international background.

So while players can communicate with their friends and family over the phone this weekend, the impracticality of travel makes celebrations like Family Weekend a

painful reminder for the players.

“I definitely miss home a lot …

It is a lot different (in America),” said junior tennis player Frank Chen who, like Miccini, moved to America from another country. Chen came to America from Taiwan six months before he began studying at the UA. “It is just very weird (to be so far apart) because I am the only child in my family, and I care a lot for my parents,” Chen said.

But being on the team gives players a chance to form bonds with people who can sympathize.

“Everyone kind of knows how you’re feeling if you’re having a rough day or anything like that,” said sophomore Mike Pigou, who came to the U.S. from New Zealand.

“We all kind of go through the same sort of stuff.”

Pigou especially bonded with sophomore Kieren Thompson, who came to the UA from Australia.

“It’s always good to talk to someone from a country that’s almost near,” Thompson said “It’s really easy to talk to people about (living in a different country).”

Fortunately for Pigou and Thompson, they already spoke

English, even if some people may struggle to understand their strong accents.

Andre Vidaller, who moved to the U.S. from Brazil, was not as lucky. Vidaller had to learn a language he could not speak less than a year earlier.

Miccini faced the same difficulty when he moved abroad.

“When I came here I didn’t speak a word of English,” Miccini said.

“So to learn (the language) and make friends, it is the hardest part (of coming to a new country).”

Vidaller said he misses family and friends the most, but he still loves the environment at the UA because it offers a unique opportunity for players to play highly competitive tennis while earning a degree. That is something that few other countries offer and why playing collegiate tennis in the U.S. is so popular.

The trend of bringing overseas talent to Tucson does not appear to be ending any time soon for the men’s tennis team. Head coach Tad Berkowitz said the team has a player coming from India next semester and it is still searching for at least one other recruit.

"The best part of any move is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your move and belongings are a priority to the people you’ve entrusted them to."

f you think your last name holds meaning to people outside your family, how do you think Arizona kicker Alex Zendejas feels?

There’s a family-named burrito shop across the street from where he plays football, for goodness’ sake.

Then there’s that whole Zendejas family kicking legacy.

Uncle Max Zendejas was an AllAmerican kicker at Arizona in 1985, uncles Luis and Alan kicked for the rival ASU Sun Devils, and another uncle, Tony, kicked at the University of Nevada, Reno. His own father, Alex Sr., kicked at Scottsdale Community College.

So there’s some pressure — just a little — on Alex Jr. to uphold the family name.

When he hit a game-winning kick to defeat the ASU Sun Devils two years ago in Tempe, it was fitting, considering his family’s history.

But then last year happened.

Zendejas had two extra points blocked against ASU at Arizona Stadium and the Wildcats lost 30-29 in double overtime. Since then, he lost his job this offseason to junior college transfer Jaime Salazar. But Salazar struggled this season, and Zendejas, a senior, was named the starter for tomorrow’s game against No. 10 Oregon.

You now wonder where Zendejas’ head is at.

Those two missed extra points seemingly defined the 2010 season. I guess it’s naturally a more iconic microcosm of the season than the fivegame losing streak to finish the year or the bludgeoning of the Wildcats at the Valero Alamo Bowl.

And after those two missed extra points defined the 2010 season, I’m sure his family disowned him and told him to quit afterward.

I’m kidding.

The elder Zendejases probably consoled Alex. They probably told him to

take it as a lesson, a bump in the road that comes with the territory of being a kicker, one of the most alienating and pressure-packed positions in sports.

What’s a family for?

Of course, the mere fact of his last name meant there was more to it.

His name is attached to the state of Arizona’s kicking family, and there wasn’t a hole to climb into and quit.

In fact, Zendejas told the Daily Wildcat that he had a class presentation the day after the nationally televised Thursday game against the Sun Devils.

That couldn’t have gone well.

Since, the crowds at Arizona Stadium have only acknowledged Zendejas with jeers, and if he’s lucky, sarcastic cheers. Obviously, his coaches lost confidence in him, too.

So as he regains his role as the starting kicker for the Wildcats, is he a better football player after going through the pitfalls of public scrutiny? We don’t know.

“I’ve continued to work, I’ve continued to practice like I was going to play.

I haven’t taken a day off,” Zendejas told the Daily Wildcat earlier this week.

“I’m just grateful and blessed to have another opportunity out here.”

But is he a better man for going through it all?

“He’s a been a rock,” special teams coach Jeff Hammerschmidt told the Daily Wildcat. “He’s gone through some stuff. The NAU game he went out there and they booed. How do you handle that?”

So however this game — and the year — turns out, no matter what vulgar words cut through the roar of the drunken ZonaZoo, Zendejas can still proudly say he’s a Zendejas.

He can say that without thinking a split-second about football.

COLLEGE HEIGHTS HERALD - NOVEMBER 29, 2011

Students and families miss relatives serving oversees

By ANNA ANDERSON diversions@wkuherald.com

CHRIS WILSON/HERALD

Beaver Dam senior Zach Daugherty, cadet captain in Army ROTC, comes from a military family.

Daugherty won’t be with his father, 1st Sgt. Zachary Daugherty, this Christmas because of his deployment.

Let Morris Jewelry help every guy find the perfect gift for their special someone this holiday season.

As Zachary Daugherty prepares for the Christmas holiday season, he knows something important is missing. His father, 1st Sgt. Kevin Daugherty, won’t be home.

“It definitely changes the holiday spirit,” Zachary Daugherty said.

The Beaver Dam senior is a cadet captain in Army ROTC and comes from a long line of military service. This isn’t the first year that his father’s own service has kept him away over the holidays.

Regardless of how many times Kevin Daugherty has been away, Cheryl Daugherty, Kevin’s wife and Zachary’s stepmother, said that it can still be tough to cope with his absence.

“You can tell there’s a presence that’s missing,” she said.

Kevin Daugherty was deployed for a year to the Kandahar province in Afghanistan, in mid-October. His family copes with the situation by having faith that he will safely return home.

“Faith is a big factor in my family,” Zachary Daugherty said. “It definitely helps get through some of the hard times.”

While he does worry about his father

overseas, Daugherty said he tries not to dwell on it.

Guston senior Jacob Baldwin also tries to mask his worries about his twin brother, Spc. Justin Baldwin.

“If you went around worrying about what was happening to him all the time, you’d probably lose your mind,” he said.

Jacob Baldwin, also a member of ROTC, said holidays spent with his brother are rare.

In the 48 months since his brother enlisted in the Army, 32 of them have been served overseas, he said.

Like Zachary Daugherty, Jacob Baldwin grew up in a military family in Flaherty, Ky., His father, Kirk Baldwin, a retired sergeant major, was deployed for Christmas in 2001.

That year, the Baldwins celebrated Thanksgiving Day and then exchanged gifts for Christmas the next day so Kirk Baldwin wouldn’t miss anything.

“If we know someone is about to deploy, we celebrate the upcoming holiday,” Jacob Baldwin said. “That’s our tradition.”

Justin Baldwin deployed in January to Camp War Horse in Iraq and was relocated to Kuwait after the base was closed earlier this year. He is expected home either before this Christmas or early next year.

Dedication of the Kelly Turf Building

GV athletics becoming a brand of their own

By Brady Fredericksen GVL Sports Editor

Summertime in Allendale, a season filled with construction and preseason football practice. What that actually means is I don’t have any sports to inform or make you chuckle about. What I can do is make a friendly gentleman’s bet with you.

I also want to point out that I’m not a gambling man - I’ve been to a casino once, and I lost all of my money in two hours - I’d say I’m just a guy who’s confident with an idea.

Anyway, here’s the deal: I bet you by 2021, ten years from now, that the Grand Valley State University athletic brand won’t be limited to Michigan.

I’m not saying GVSU is an enigma to the rest of the country, but relatively speaking, it’s a midwest affair. A brand is something well-known, something that people can associate with something.

Ohio State and USC are brands, but they’ve gone from being known for winning to being known for being slimy and secretive cheaters.

GVSU is known for winning, and for being the ultimate sports program in Division II- shown by their NCAA-record eight straight Directors’ Cup. They’re also clean as a whistle. Outside the recent Zach Breen controversy, you can’t think of another nega-

tive about athletics here. The GVSU brand is something that’s not only significant now, but has and will grow into something much bigger in the next decade.

Look no further than the recent 2011 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft for evidence. GVSU’s Cody Grice, a junior outfielder, was drafted in the 12th round by the New York Yankees.

Like them or not, being drafted by the Yankees is a big deal, and if Grice can work his way up to the big leagues in the next few years it will be an even bigger success for both the GVSU baseball program, and GVSU athletics as a whole.

He’s not going to wow you with his stats, but Grice is more than capable of developing into a useful big league player. For a good comparison, look no further than the Yankees’ current big league centerfielder, Brett Gardner.

Gardner is a speedster who can make up ground fast defensively and wreak havoc on the base paths. Grice may not be the pure speed player Gardner is, but he could be a bigger and more powerfulhitting version.

The Yankees drafting of Grice is just one of many professional successes for GVSU athletes.

Take Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Matt Thornton.

The 6-foot-6 lefty is one of baseball’s hardest throwers.

He’s coming off an American League All-Star appearance last season and, after a rough start to the season, is beginning to again look like one of the leagues dominant left-

handed relievers.

While they might not be playing football these days, current Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr is another Laker success story at the highest level.

Currently the No. 2 corner for the up-and-coming Chiefs, Carr has gone from fifth round risk to steady starter. He’s not going to make the highlight reel with his hands, but he’s a guy who can tackle and play an efficient corner.

Two other Lakers linked to the NFL are Green Bay Packers’ lineman Nick McDonald and undrafted free agent Cam Bradfield. McDonald didn’t play this last season, but he was on the Packers’ Super Bowl-winning roster.

Bradfield is another story.

The All-GLIAC lineman has the ability to be on an NFL practice squad, but with the current lockout in place, Bradfield and many other undrafted free agents have not had the chance to speak with teams to negotiate contracts.

These successes are great, and they’ll surely help the recruiting process for the GVSU programs they represented, but the brand won’t truly explode until a notable star-level player emerges.

As far as we know, that athlete could be reading this column today. So lets revisit this little discussion in ten years, shall we?

Standing ovation: Former GV football coach and hall-of-famer Brian Kelley speaks to the crowd following the renaming of the Laker Turf Building to the Kelley Family Sports Center. The 138,000 square foot facility will honor Kelly’s accomplishments at GVSU, while still serving as a location for students to participate in intramural sports as well as open use of the track and class rooms.

BY RAVEN CARPENTER ravecarp@indiana.edu IU traditions make the University atmosphere unique.

During many sporting events, the crowds are a sea of crimson and cream, with both students and alumni cheering on the team.

“We never turn on our team no matter what, and even in a rough season, we’re always there,” junior Carly Lovett said.

Indiana fans chant cheers and sing the school fight song during many of the athletic events at the University, often in tandem with the Marching Hundred, IU Cream and Crimson cheer squads and the Redsteppers dance unit.

Popular dances and cheers at the games include the “Zombie Nation” dance, which includes extending arms and mimicking zombie moves and the boisterous “Doctor

CAMPUS VISITORS GUIDE

Hoosier” cheer.

Many of the traditions are passed down through new student orientations, said Co-Director of the IU Visitor Center, Cole Dietrich.

Another job of the Visitor Center is to hand out print-outs with the school fight song.

“Having it in printed form is something the kids can hold on to if they decide to come to IU.” Traditions at IU do not always revolve around the Big Ten conference sports, though.

Sophomore Kaitlin Karr said she enjoys the Little 500.

“I love how an intramural sport can bring so many people together, and it feels amazing to be part of such a big tradition,” Karr said.

At IU, there’s something for everyone to support.

“I feel like we have a lot of spirit,” Lovett said. “We are loyal fans, which is very unique and encouraging to me.”

Add 1 1/2 ounces of vodka or gin for every 8 ounces of gazpacho made. All you need are a couple drops of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce to make a bloody mary-esque drink. It can also be jazzed up with a quarter of a serrano, jalapeĂąo or Thai chili.

Students celebrate in Aggieville page 8

A clueless male’s guide to tanning: fans, radio available for use Austin Enns Copy Editor I am a man. Therefore, I have never been tanning and I honestly do not plan on ever going tanning. Sorry if that is misogynistic, but it seems as if there is a negative male stereotype about tanning. I am as guilty as any other male, but I am also truly curious about tanning. There are many important things about tanning on which most guys are ignorant. It is unnecessary for guys to make serious tanning no-nos while trying to turn a color besides pasty white. All they need is a little education.

Spencer Null, senior in mechanical engineering, has a horror story typical of the kind that scares many guys away from tanning.

“I was going to Mexico for spring break and I didn’t want to burn,” Null said. “My friend had a tanning bed, and I decided to go for it.”

Unfortunately for Null, he did burn, just not in Mexico.

Brett Engleman, junior in hotel and restaurant management, said he is tanning in preparation for spring break, but is being careful.

“You shouldn’t tan anymore if you turn orange,” Engleman said.

“I’ve had friends turn orange.”

Engleman said there was an extreme case involving a girl who would tan every day because she worked at a tanning salon. Normally, people can get a tan if they go tanning every

other day three to five times a week. Engleman said that people who want to look tan for spring break should start now.

Karen Miner, a Manhattan resident who frequently goes to tanning beds, said uneducated males should be aware of basic hazards, and said there are many precautions guys can take.

“Always put tanning lotion on before and moisturizer after you tan, always wear the protective goggles, always start out with as short a time as possible and work your way up,” Miner said.

Miner also said that most people tanning for the first time start at about about seven minutes, but that tanners can go as long as 20 minutes once they get used to it.

Both Miner and Engleman emphasized the importance of having a moisturizer to prevent dry skin. They also said goggles are extremely important to prevent eye damage.

Inside most tanning beds there are buttons that can stop the bed if the heat is too intense.

In addition, there are normally fans and radios to keep users comfortable while tanning.

Engleman said that some tanning salons even have stickers in the shapes of hearts, smiley faces and Playboy bunnies in case they want a design tanned on.

Most guys will probably opt out of options like that, but those of you still interested in having a perfect beach body now have all the right tools to get a tan that is not spray on.

Five simple exercises for your dorm or living room Biking in place or jumping rope can avoid trips to gym Jena Sauber Staff Writer If chilly temperatures or a busy schedule keep you from making it to the Peters Recreation Complex, there are still ways to get your daily exercise in.

The following workout routine is simple enough for beginners, easy to do in your dorm room or living room, and short enough to squeeze in before your 10:30 a.m. class.

Use Your Textbooks There are more uses for your textbooks than studying. To strengthen abdominal muscles, lay face up on the ground with knees bent and feet flat on the floor (like you’re going to do sit ups). Hold a textbook with both hands directly over your head.

Keep your abdominal muscles tight. Then, slowly lift your head and shoulder blades off the towel while lifting the book in the air.

Hold for one second, then release. Do three sets of 20.

(Workout from shape.com) Time: under 2 minutes Tone your arms using your heaviest text book. Hold a heavy book in one hand, with your arm straight at your side. Lift your arm until your book is at shoulder level. Bring it back down.

Repeat 10 times for each arm.

(Workout from northbynorthwestern.com) Time: 2 minutes

to five or six 10-minute periods during the day for maximum calorie burning.

Time: 10 minutes at a time

Bicycle in Place To work your abs, lay on your back with your knees bent and your arms behind your head.

Alternate between bringing your right knee and left elbow together, and your left knee and right elbow together. Repeat at least 10 times on each side.

Time: 1 minute

Use Technology Get together a group of friends and play a dance-oriented video game for an hour. There are workout videos and ideas on YouTube with free videos detailing how to do workouts with everyday items.

According to valleynewslive.com, listening to upbeat music can also help intensify workouts by providing motivation and rhythm.

Time: varies

Take the Stairs A 150-pound person will burn an average of seven calories per minute when walking up the stairs, versus one calorie per minute when they take the elevator.

WILHELM from p.1 “With me taking on this position, I will integrate the work of the CRI into all of this work that is happening already, so we will continue to promote growth, focus on the areas of this university that have key strengths and make the campus accessible to those business and institutional partners in the region, around the country and around the world,” said Wilhelm.

One of Wilhelm’s visions of that accessibility came in the form of the PORTAL building, a $26 million building that he conceived and will be constructed on the Charlotte Research Institute Campus on the southwest corner of N. Tryon St. and Institute Circle. The name stands for Partnership, Outreach and Research for Accelerated Learning.

According to Wilhelm, the university has a large menu of offerings that stem from its research facilities. “We have a number of different efforts within the university and CRI to connect with partners in different ways. In some cases it would have to do with students working on projects with companies as part of their coursework, faculty members serving as expert consultants to help with challenges that institutions face or joint research projects with companies in the area.”

Wilhelm’s idea was to make a place for all of these projects to integrate. “The PORTAL building gives us a chance to bring that activity together in a gathering place to make it very visible both in terms of the fac-

ulty and students who are working with our collaborators but also to make it visible to those collaborators in the region,” he said.

“This university has always had a strong commitment to partnership in the regional community and it really goes back to the earliest days of the university. What we’ve heard from the business and economic communities around Charlotte is that they would like the university to continue to grow and connect with the businesses and institutions in the region to make a difference in terms of economic growth.”

Beyond all the businesses and institutions Wilhelm collaborates with, the former professor still values his relationships with students very highly. In the summer of 2011, he spent a month hiking through Alaska with the Levine Scholars class of 2015. “It went great,” Wilhelm said of the trip. “The students all learned quite a lot. It was an interesting time for me. It was nice to be out in the big country like that for a long period of time and to spend concentrated time with students.”

This passion connects to Wilhelm’s first order of business while becoming accommodated to his named position. “The first thing that I am working on doing is listening and learning about the expertise that exists within the research and economic development organization. I also need to be aware of the concerns and interests of all of the faculty and students that I serve.

That’s been a big part of my effort as I’ve begun this job.”

SOLEDAD from p.1

ly after a recent interview with Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch.com and a well known member of technology media.

In the interview, Arrington told O’Brien that he doesn’t know of any black entrepreneurs in the tech industry. He then stated that he firmly believes that in Silicon Valley, “you can become very successful based on your brain size and how you use it.”

As the media began to discuss the racial implications of Arrington’s comments, he wrote a blog titled “Sh*t, I’m a Racist,” in which he accuses O’Brien and her producers of seeking “gotcha” moments and “lying to the people they interview.”

O’Brien responded in a blog post for CNNMoney.com in which she claimed that she was focusing on a group of entrepreneurs participating in the NewMe accelerator, the first of its kind to focus on entrepreneurs of color, and that the story would continue to focus on those “inspirational figures.”

O’Brien insisted that she did not ambush Arrington. “I don’t think he is a racist.

He’s a realist,” she wrote.

As well as being an anchor, O’Brien has been on the scene for some of the most tragic moments of college student’s lives today. She reported from the aftermaths of the Thailand tsunami in 2004, Hurricane

Katrina in 2005 and the Haiti earthquake in 2010.

O’Brien speaks about all of those experiences and more in her book, “The Next Big Story: My Journey Through the Land of Possibilities.” In the book, she discusses matters of disaster, government response, hopelessness and the people who drop everything to help.

O’Brien has also directed award-winning documentaries that focus on race, education, diversity, identity, humanitarianism and change. Her CNN specials, “Black In America” and “Latino In America” have made her a beloved but controversial figure in American journalism. She was named Journalist of the Year in 2010 by the National Association of Black Journalists and received the Excellence in Leadership and Community Service Award from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in 2009.

O’Brien was born to two immigrant parents, a black mother from Cuba and a white father from Australia. She writes in her book about growing up mixed in a small, rich, white suburb named Smithtown in Long Island, NY. “Sometimes people looked at [me and my siblings] as if we had two heads and were completely out of place. We always ignored them,” she wrote.

UTAH-KIN’ TO ME?

eikmeier valuable addition to team By kevin lytle The Rocky Mountain Collegian

Sometimes all a person needs is a change of scenery to turn things around.

And after a second half of his freshman season at Iowa State filled with injury, illness and missed games, Wes Eikmeier decided a change was necessary.

That change came in the form of a transfer to the CSU basketball program, where Eikmeier is quickly becoming a star for the Rams.

Eikmeier caught the attention of Rams fans with a career-high 25 points last week against No. 9 Brigham Young.

But his success hasn’t come out of nowhere.

Eikmeier was a two-time Nebraska Player of the Year and averaged 31 points per game as a senior at Archbishop Bergan High School on an undefeated, state championship team.

The recruiting of Eikmeier never reached CSU because of his decision to commit to Iowa State following his sophomore year, a decision he now regrets.

“Looking back on it, I kind Dylan langille | COLLEGIAN

Freshman forward Sam Martin runs a practice drill past a teammate Monday at the Indoor Practice Facilty. The Women’s Basketball Team will be playing Utah Saturday at 2 p.m. at Moby Arena.

CSU women hosting battle against Utes By nick chilDs The Rocky Mountain Collegian Women’s hoops take on the University of Utah (10-10, 3-3) on Saturday in Moby Arena at 2 p.m. in a battle for conference standing.

The Rams (10-9, 3-3) and Utes are currently tied for fourth in the Mountain West Conference, so the winner will take sole possession of the position.

CSU is coming off a key road win against the Air Force Academy Tuesday.

Despite the victory, CSU coach Kristen Holt believes the Rams were pushed around

by Air Force, so they looked to improve their toughness in preparation for Utah, said ju-

nior standout Kim Mestdagh.

CSU has not had much luck against Utah in the past three years, losing five of the last six meetings by an average of 23 points.

Last year, the Rams gave the game away in the last minute at home.

Holt doesn’t take much stock in the success or lack there of against conference opponents. Each season is its own, she said.

Mestdagh, the team’s leading scorer, has put pressure on herself at times in important games, but it comes with the territory of being a team leader.

To ease the pressure, Mestdagh tries to talk with teammates and focus on defense instead of pressing on the offensive end.

Freshman forward Sam Martin was the star against Air Force, scoring 17 points in just six field goal attempts. Holt made it a conscious effort to get her the ball.

Martin does not mind being the go-to person on the floor, she said, but she doesn’t think she needs to be.

“I want to do what is best for the team,” she said.

To beat Utah the Rams need to play a composed game and limit their turnovers.

“When we play together, we have more fun and we are a much better team,” Martin said.

THE COLUMBIA CHRONICLE

I NOVEMBER 28, 2011

xx LATINOS Continued from PG. 33 The data used in the study accounted for all residents of the region, including illegal immigrants, Guzman said.

Although Latinos contribute more than they spend, they do receive more services per dollar than any other ethnic group.This compares the money contributed to the economy in the form of tax dollars to the cost of public services used by each group.

For example, Latinos average 77 cents worth of public services for each dollar contributed in taxes, according to Guzman. Caucasians only receive 38 cents worth of public services per tax dollar, which includes education, public safety, transportation, health care and other community services.

Latinos are able to contribute more money than they receive because of their previously mentioned employment rate.

Guzman said one reason the Latino population has such a high rate of employment is because many of them are underemployed, or work for which they are overqualified.

This could present a problem in the future as a higher percentage of the population becomes high school- and college-educated and seeks better quality jobs, according to John Koval, senior research fellow at DePaul University.

He said approximately 80 percent of the Latino labor force is composed of immigrants. This will change remarkably in the next 20 years, Koval added. He said plans need to be made to accommodate the 400,000 diploma-bearing Hispanic children who will be looking for jobs in the next 20 years.

As the population grows and parents seek

the best schools for their children, many Latino families are moving out of the city and into the suburbs. The need for larger homes and better schools is causing this shift, according to Ngoan Le, program vice president of the Chicago Community Trust.

“They look to suburban schools as places where their children may have better services and a better chance of succeeding and of education advancement,” Le said.

In order to allow Latino children to succeed, Allert Brown-Gort, associate director at the Notre Dame Institute for Latino Studies, encouraged everybody, not just Latinos, to take action and influence the future of the country. He said Latinos are the least likely to vote.This could affect the impending ward redistricting that could make two more wards predominantly Hispanic, allowing them a greater say in Chicago

politics. Guzman said he would like to see people use the information he presented to benefit the future Latino population.

“I hope that this report helps everybody in their job, in their situation, to try to change the perception that many people have of the Latino population,” Guzman said. gcappis@chroniclemail.com

1780 — Great Hurricane ravages West Indies A powerful storm slams the islands of the West Indies, killing more than 20,000 people, on this day in 1780. Known as the Great Hurricane of 1780, it was the deadliest storm ever recorded.

At the time of the Great Hurricane, the American Revolution was winding down and British and French naval forces were fighting to control the West Indies. It was already a perilous area of the world for ships — it is estimated that about one of every 20 ships sent to the West Indies was lost at sea during the era. British Admiral George Radney had a fleet of 12 warships patrolling the islands when the hurricane approached. The ships were no match for the storm and eight sank in the St. Lucia harbor, killing hundreds of sailors. Radney later wrote: “The strongest buildings and the whole of the houses, most of which were stone, and remarkable for their solidity, gave way to the fury of the wind, and were torn up to their foundations; all the forts destroyed, and many of the heavy cannon carried upwards of a hundred feet from the forts. Had I not been an eyewitness, nothing could have induced me to have believed it. More than six thousand persons

perished, and all the inhabitants are entirely ruined.” Only two houses in all of St. Lucia remained standing. There were even some reports that bark was stripped from trees in some locations. Generally, this only occurs if winds are in excess of 200 miles per hour.

The French fared no better, losing an estimated 40 ships and 4,000 soldiers.

Martinique and Barbados had the highest casualty rates: The best guess is that upwards of 9,000 people perished in Martinique from a huge storm surge. In Barbados, 4,000 people were killed. More than 1,000 people also died in Jamaica.

Although there have been many deadly hurricanes in the years since 1780, only Hurricane Mitch in 1998, which killed about 18,000 people, has approached the Great Hurricane in terms of lives lost.

1845 — Birth of the U.S. Naval Academy The United States Naval Academy opens in Annapolis, Maryland, with 50 midshipmen students and seven professors. Known as the Naval School until 1850, the curriculum included mathematics and navigation, gunnery and steam, chemistry, English, natural philosophy, and French. The Naval School officially became the U.S. Naval Academy in 1850, and a new curriculum went into effect, requiring midshipmen to study at the academy for four years and to train aboard ships each summer — the basic format that remains at the academy to this day.

BUSH: Former president discusses PEPFAR CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The program was centered partly around the “ABC approach,” or “Abstain, Be Faithful and Correct and Consistent Use of Condoms.”

This irked many who felt abstinence was ineffective.

But both Bush and Mark Dybul, who Bush appointed to head the administration’s fight against AIDS in 2006, felt that the ABC approach was misunderstood. It was originally developed in Uganda as an AIDS prevention technique and was not an idea of the Bush administration. And as an African strategy, Bush felt it would be most effective and appropriate.

Additionally, says Dybul, the meaning of abstinence was misinterpreted. Dybul, who served as deputy U.S. global AIDS coordinator and assistant U.S. global AIDS coordinator before taking over as coordinator, was recently interviewed over the phone.

“Abstinence really means just delaying when people become sexually active, no one was saying that people should never have sex,” he said. “You give different messages depending on the age and risk, so you don’t talk to the five year olds about condoms, but as you get older the messages change and the comprehensive approach is provided,” he said.

He also notes PEPFAR was very clear on the use of condoms to prevent HIV/AIDS. During the time of PEPFAR, Dybul said, the U.S. provided more condoms than the rest of the world put together – more than two billion of them.

“I understand where the controversy comes from, but it was misguided and incorrect about what we actually did, how we approached the program, and certainly the notion that we created the abstinence program that was actually designed in Africa is a little disingenuous,” Dybul said.

Dybul is not a person who nicely fits in to the stereotype of the Bush administration. As an openly gay independent who has donated to Democratic campaigns, Dybul admits that even he didn’t fully expect Bush

to be as kind and open as he found him to be.

“It wasn’t just that I was welcomed – President and Mrs. Bush seemed to go out of their way to welcome us and to include my partner and me in White House receptions and dinners,” Dybul said. He said that Mr. and Mrs. Bush continue to go “out of their way” to ask how his partner, Jason, is doing.

“The more I am around them, the more I realize … that is how they treat everyone: with great graciousness and kindness.”

These traits, Dybul said, also helped Bush create a “fundamental shift in development from paternalism to results-based approaches.”

Before PEPFAR, Dybul said that development often took the form of a wealthy nation simply telling a poor country what to do.

Dybul said this notion of development was almost “repugnant” to the former president. So, instead of instruction, Bush decided to partner with the “focus countries” of PEPFAR – nations that needed the most help.

“

The old model of foreign aid was to say ‘we’re going to write you a check and we’ll feel better about it,” Bush said. “We said, we will support you if you design a program that is effective.

“The old model of foreign aid was to say ‘we’re going to write you a check and we’ll feel better about it,” Bush said. “We said, we will support you if you design a program that is effective.”

It wasn’t just lack of funding and a misinformed notion of development

Former President George W. Bush met with political journalist Jessica Huseman to discuss AIDS initiative PEPFAR.

that the program needed to combat, however. The stigmas that existed against HIV/AIDS were some of the biggest hurdles to overcome.

The misconceptions about AIDS led many Africans to refuse to seek testing or treatment, to treat those that were diagnosed as outsiders and to spread fallacies about how HIV could be cured or contracted.

“One way you deal with it is have leaders stand up and get tested for it to show how important it is,” Bush said. The president of Tanzania was tested for HIV on television. Bush said acts like these help to dismiss stereotypes and reduce the impact that they have.

Dybul said the change during the last few years in the form of increased education and treatment has also led to the understanding that it is a medical condition, helping to stem the number of people who refuse to be tested or treated.

Bush took his new fight against AIDS to the 2004 G8 conference, when the buzz around global warming was consuming international news.

And even though the conference seemed to keep coming back to that topic, Bush pushed forward.

“My point was, you are dealing with an issue that may or may not be as severe as you think it is. But what is severe is

people dying of AIDS,” Bush said.

He convinced several countries to make strong commitments to help the fight against the virus, but, Bush said, “They’ve been a little light up to now” and their continued support “depends on whether the president of the United States will remind them of their commitment.”

Bush declined comment on his thoughts about the current administration’s handling of PEPFAR – as did Dybul, who was originally asked to continue in his position by the Obama administration, only to be asked to submit his resignation letter a month later over the controversy of his support of abstinence. Dybul would only say that he had the “greatest respect for the new global AIDS coordinator, who is a longtime friend and colleague and the entire global health and development team the administration has assembled.”

Dybul is now co-director of the global health program at Georgetown University and has also been appointed as a fellow in global health at the George W. Bush Center, where he will focus on finding optimal ways to provide health care to mothers and children in several African

and Asian countries around the time of birth.

Dybul did say he believes that Bush deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in Africa. “There was literally no global response until President Bush came forward and said enough is enough,” he said.

Dybul said that the global shift in the direction of development also warrants the prize. “If you look at this objectively, no one can say that that is not the ring of a Nobel Peace Prize.”

But, said Dybul, there is very little chance that Bush will ever receive the highly coveted award partly because Bush doesn’t seem to care about it.

“This was never about the president.

We had instructions that we weren’t supposed to be out there getting him credit for it,” said Dybul. “When your whole goal is to serve, whether or not you get an award isn’t particularly important.”

For Bush, the overwhelming support he has gained in Africa seems to be award enough.

“I was particularly grateful of the outpouring of support in a place like Africa because it made me feel proud of the contribution of the American people,” Bush said. “I didn’t view it as a tribute to George Bush, I viewed it as a tribute to the people of America.”

. Bombay Indian Grill 403 East Green Street Champaign, IL

Everyone says college is the time to try new things.

Well, here’s your chance. If you’ve never had Indian food before, a 4-year+ stint at Illinois should be plenty of time to check that off the to-do list.

It’s a little spicy, very aromatic, uses about half of the spice cabinet in each dish and is more comforting than you would think at first glance, sort of the meat and potatoes of the East. Especially great on a chilly day, Indian food keeps you full and going all afternoon/ evening, perfect for the mid-semester crunch.

Must Try: Chicken Makhani (also known as butter chicken). Clay-roasted chicken is served in a rich, lightly spiced, creamy tomato sauce with basmati rice. It’s unbelievably addicting, especially with a side order of naan, an oven-baked flatbread common in South and Central Asia. Once you’ve eaten your chicken (it’s difficult; don’t let size fool you.

They serve it in what looks like a small container, but it’s actually quite filling), dip your naan into the leftover sauce, mix the sauce with the rice, eat the sauce, rice and naan together, or maybe if you’re bold, just pick up the bowl and drink it. It is that good.

. Murphy’s 604 E Green St. Champaign, IL

Imagine medieval times (not the jousting restaurant), when groups of gruff men or ladies sat on dark wood chairs and tables, drinking gallons of fermented grain beverages and eating greasy, but delicious foods with their bare hands.

Well, it will not be as out there as that at Murphy’s pub, but Murphy’s does provide the atmosphere needed for proper social interactions and intellectual stimulation. Some even argue that Murphy’s is the best place to study with a laptop and a gin and tonic, which could prove that this place has something for everyone. The drinks and food are inexpensive compared to a lot of places in town.

Must Try: Irish Nachos. Suitable for a group of 5+, or just one if you’re REALLY hungry, the Irish Nachos pack a whole oval tray filled with cheesy waffle fries and assorted toppings (tons of bacon and veggies) with salsa and sour cream dips, all for under $8.

Nothing like one of those to celebrate Fridays, huh.

the217.com

pings range from various ethnicities, which they offer in addition to the “normal” flavors.

Must Try: The Korean Seoul. It replaces the pizza sauce with Gochujang, a slightly spicy and savory Korean red pepper paste, then tops it with bulgolgi beef and kimchi.

If Asian isn’t your speed, they offer the Taj Mahal for an Indian-inspired za’ with Tikka Sauce and Tandoori chicken, the El Mejicano and Taco Gringo for a little Mexican flair, a Breakfast Pizza for when you really want pizza for breakfast, and many others.

Open late (until 2:30 AM Monday – Saturday nights) and offering delivery, One World is a pizza-loving college student’s dream (yes, they deliver to the dorms.

In college, pizza will either become exhaustingly banal or a student’s food sole food source (especially post-dorm life) or, both. A great late night snack, or leftover breakfast, it always has your back, morning, noon and night. But, the lackluster combinations of cheese, cheese and pepperoni, cheese and sausage and maybe on the rare chance somebody orders one with a light dusting of vegetables, it can easily become monotonous.

One World Pizza puts a new spin on an old classic with their specialty pizzas, whose top-

For a semi-fancy night out, the Courier Café is a great place to go.

They serve an amazing breakfast (such as Almond French Toast), lunch and dinner, and are open as late as midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. They have a variety of burgers and entrees. Their salad bar is amazing. Most of their entrees come with the salad bar, which is dangerous since you can get as much salad as you want and however you want it.

Must Try: Peanut Butter and Chocolate handdipped shakes (or whatever flavor you prefer!).

You get a great milkshake, including the leftovers in the metal cup, that’s enough to feed two, made with real ingredients, not powder or artificial favors. While at Courier, be sure to check out their decorations as well. Think old school with wooden booths, copper ceiling, an old fashioned menu, stained glass windows salvaged from a church in Danville and a vintage register!

THE ROYAL PRINCES OF WALES

The upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday has media outlets in a complete uproar. Even though it seems like the entire western world is keeping track of every move the enchanting couple makes, I haven’t read a single story about the supposed event of the year. This is probably because I am subconsciously in complete denial of the royal union.

Growing up, I, like millions of others, was captivated by Princess Diana, her death and all the scandal. Since her death, her handsome young sons have been forever under the microscope of the media.

Despite the long debunked monarchy, the idea of royalty and chivalry all wrapped up into two real live Prince Charmings really elevates a girl’s typical daydream.

When I was younger, I always preferred the rosy-cheeked, ginger-haired baby brother Harry. Through their youth, it was clear William played the part of Prince Charming much more convincingly. Harry, who I genuinely think is more attractive than his older, balding brother, was constantly getting into trouble, joined the army and served on the frontlines in Afghanistan. Overall, he has had a much stronger bad-boy persona to which I am unfortunately drawn.

But as the years have passed, I’ve grown to appreciate the royal family’s firstborn. He’s a well-decorated member of the military and a humanitarian. And just try not to swoon at that pearly white smile. It also helps that he’s second in the line of succession to the throne.

So despite my disappointment that I’m not the one he chose, I am excited to see how the event plays out — the decorations, the celebrity guests and, of course, the fashion.

Unfortunately, I won’t be attending; my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. Maybe I can be best man Harry’s lastminute date.

YUMMY IN MY TUMMY

The Noodle House whose name don’t lie.

34TH STREET Magazine October 26, 2011

ummy Lan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House sits in inconspicuous harmony with its Chinatown neighbors. On an ordinary Wednesday night, the brightly lit restaurant was not teeming with customers, but the few in attendance seemed to be regulars. From a page–long menu of appetizers, noodle soups and plates, it was difficult to decide what to order. Our party of five settled on steamed pork dumplings (9 pieces for $4.75), an egg and vegetable hand drawn noodle soup ($4.50), a sliced beef hand drawn noodle soup ($5.75), a roast duck hand drawn noodle soup ($5.75) and Beef Chow Hand Drawn Noodles ($6.95).

bowl consisted of slender beef shavings and spinach leaves swimming in a quenching miso–based broth. After a bite of unpleasantly crunchy beef, I chose instead to savor the subtly sweet flavor and delectable texture of my noodles. Observing the slurping technique employed by

my next–door tablemates, I was able to consume the soup fluidly, despite the occasional appearance of fat deposits.

I recommend the roast duck as a meat choice given its full flavor and more uniform texture. Complimenting the noodles, the dumpling plate’s doughy consistency

concealed shredded pork and herb flakes, which melted atop my tongue — these did not disappoint.

Undeniably superior to an unexciting Ramen Noodle Cup, the homemade noodles at Yummy Lan Zhou are worth a ChiTown adventure.

finish the game.

Junior pitcher Tyler Jones — who came into the game with a sterling 2.84 ERA and a 3-0 record this season — didn’t help LSU’s cause early.

Jones didn’t record an out in a six-run first inning for the Colonels, as he allowed two hits and three walks before being lifted in favor of freshman Joe ‘The story Broussard.

Despite reof the game lieving Jones in was the the first inning, performance Broussard saved the LSU bullpen of with six strong [freshman innings of relief holding pitcher] Joe work, the Colonels to Broussard.’ one run on five Paul Mainieri hits with seven LSU baseball coach strikeouts.

“The story of the game was the performance of Joe Broussard,” Mainieri said. “Tyler Jones just didn’t have it, but Joe came in and pitched amazingly well, and I thought he really inspired our lineup.”

Before his six innings of relief work against Nicholls, Broussard’s longest outing of his college career was 1 2/3 innings.

Broussard’s performance was needed, as the LSU offense was playing catch up for much of the early part of the game.

The Tigers fought back with three runs in both the third and sixth innings while Broussard was stifling the Nicholls State bats, but LSU just couldn’t seem to put the pesky Colonels away.

After snagging its first lead of the game with the three-run sixth, Nicholls scored its first run since the first inning to tie the ballgame at seven.

LSU came right back in the seventh inning with back-to-back base hits by juniors Tyler Hanover and Mikie Mahtook, with Hanover scoring on a triple by Mahtook. But Nicholls continued to stride evenly with the Tigers.

LSU freshman pitcher Jimmy Dykstra (3-0) picked up the win in relief despite allowing a run in the bottom of the seventh, The Tigers collected 15 hits in the game, with eight of nine starters collecting at least one hit.

In her time at LSU, Girouard has made LSU a national power and saw the creation of Tiger Park, one of the nation’s premier softball stadiums. But Girouard said she wants to be remembered for how she treated her players and not just her success on the field.

“It’s my job to make them better than when they got here,” Girouard said. “It’s my job to make them stronger women, and hopefully I’ve done that so they can handle anything in their future.”

Girouard began her coaching career in 1981 at her alma mater, Louisiana-Lafayette. She created the school’s softball program, oftentimes having to raise thousands of dollars just to field a team.

She became the new coach of the Tigers in 2001, taking them to the Women’s College World Series in her first season. Since then she has been inducted into the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame and has been named SEC Coach of the Year three times.

“She’s definitely a legend,” said junior first baseman Anissa Young said. “Not just at LSU but in softball history. I think she’s an amazing coach.”

LSU has not yet named a replacement for Girouard. She said administrators have sought her advice, but she doesn’t want to be involved in the process of finding a new coach.

Young said she’s unsure of how the program will fare without Girouard at the helm.

“You have to play it by ear,” Young said. “You can’t really say what’s to come. We’re going to take the lessons that Coach Girouard taught us, and hopefully we’ll be able to use the skills that she gave us and move forward with that.”

The only certainty is Girouard will not be coaching next season. She appears adamant in the finality of that decision.

“The end was in my sights for a long time. ... There’s no going back,” Girouard said. “The administration asked me to really think about it, but there’s no going back.”

t the University of Northern Iowa, students who have served in the military are a unique population of nontraditional students with unique needs.

When individuals return from service and transition to a

university environment, they may face challenges that are almost paradoxical in nature.

“We graduate at a lower rate and generally speaking, we have pretty good financial support. So there’s other stuff going on,” said Tim Tolliver, a member of the UNI Student Veterans Association working toward a bachelor’s degree in social work.

According to Joe Gorton, SVA’s adviser, “being a veteran and transitioning back

into civilian society and into a university is difficult” because the military experience differs vastly from civilian life.

“It’s a subculture of its own with very specific formal and informal rules for how to live in that environment.

In fact, in some respects, it’s outside of civil society. That’s why people in the military aren’t referred to as civilians,” said Gorton, an associate professor in the department of sociology, anthropology and

criminology.

Students who have served in the military have had leadership and cultural experiences that traditional students haven’t, according to Lindsay Cohn, an assistant professor of political science.

Over the last two decades, American students on the whole made progress in math and reading. However, in the same time period, Iowa students demonstrated little improvement in math and reading scores, according to a report released last week from the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

According to the Des Moines Register, the slump in scores was consistent throughout student backgrounds. Jason Glass, the director of the Iowa Department of Public Education, said the results of the NAEP report support the need for education reform

Social sciences faculty and students are voicing concern over a proposed change to the Liberal Arts Core that would decrease the social sciences requirements. The proposal removes one threecredit course from the current requirement of three three-credit courses.

Philip Mauceri, dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, expressed concern over the cut, citing the importance of social sciences to a foundation for student learning.

“Every day of our life we are engaging in social interactions with others and

with social institutions, and a college-educated individual needs to have both the skills and the knowledge to understand these,” Mauceri said.

“For example, as citizens of the United States, we need to understand a broad range of policy areas and relationships that affect our lives, as well as the institutions where these decisions are being made.”

The recommendation breaks the social sciences section down into three sections: Human Nature and Behavior, Culture and Society, and Politics and Economics.

Students would need to complete six hours of classes from these categories.

“In that newsletter, called a Newsflash, it says that we are now taking appointments for advising,” Allman s a i d . “ It d o e s n o t s a y , ‘You call and schedule an appointment.’”

OU advisers are working to find better ways to work with students and their schedules.

Several OU advisers are currently learning how to better advise students in the National Academic Association Conference in Denver, Allman said.

Above all, Allman praised OU for its excellence in advising.

“I can tell you one of the things we find when we go to [the Denver conference]: We hear stories ... from all over the country that we are doing a great job here at the

Skye Singleton, University College freshman, said her first experience with advisement was simple.

“It was really easy. All I had to do was go online and click on my desired appointment time,” Singleton said.

“Although I only had a choice between Intro to Logic and Pre-calculus because of my major requirements, I found the website helpful to make sure I take the right classes.”

Allman said there are no major improvements planned for advising but she is always open to student input.

Students can make suggestions on the advising website by clicking on the ‘Contact Us’ button on the left-hand side of the page.

In addition to creating a trial schedule, students should get to know their faculty before making course decisions, Allman said.

“These [people] are the ones who do the recommendations for you,” she said.

“Though you may not see a faculty adviser for advising, you still need to know your faculty.”

In regard to scheduling an advisement appointment through iAdvise, Allman explained that University College opens its appointments in two-week blocks, and students should keep checking if no appointments are initially available.

The regents also approved two graduate certificates: Helping Skills in Human R e l a t i o n s, a n d Hu m a n Resource Diversity and Development.

According to the state regents’ agenda for the Sept.

Some OU students have mixed feelings about advising.

Improvements could be made to the system, said Katie Knutter, political science and women’s and gender studies senior.

“I’m still forced to meet with my political science adviser even though I only have my women and gender studies classes left to take,” Knutter said.

“We want [students] to have a good graduate experience, but we also want them to have a good career opportunity.”

T.H. Lee Williams, Graduate college dean

Based on projected enrollment provided with the data, all four proposed programs are self-supporting, though some state funds will be used.

OU has received those funds and will reallocate them to the new programs, according to the agenda.

Tuition will cover the expenses otherwise.

Williams said such professional degrees are garnering

national attention, but OU’s professional master’s program is unique because it draws ideas from interdisciplinary degrees, another program within the Graduate College.

Williams said interdisciplinary degrees have a history of suspicion, but today, interdisciplinary degrees are more widely accepted.

Degrees that cross boundaries prepare graduates for

work that spans different industries, including art and Chinese studies, he said.

“People are more flexible now, and the professional science master’s will fit into it well,” he said.

Williams said the new degree programs would serve more students without requiring more money.

“Higher education is a great value, but we need to make sure it’s the best value,” Williams said.

Students may officially enroll in the program as early as this semester, but those interested must have their programs approved by the Graduate Council, he said.

From traditional recycling efforts to exploring innovative ecological research across the globe. The University of Texas at El Paso continues to implement and explore numerous eco-ventures in its efforts to help preserve the planet’s natural resources.

In the upcoming week, UTEP will step up its environmental outreach and educate others on the importance of being eco-friendly.

What is the UTEP Ecothon?

It is ultimately a walking journey designed to encourage a healthy Ecoconscious lifestyle. How? It will provide a unique and focused opportunity to experience the beauty and uniqueness of our campus while being a healthy benefit to yourself. The Ecothon wishes to empower you to strengthen your belief in yourself and your natural capabilities. While on this journey, you will walk part of three distinct courses outlined with markers around the campus. Wellness Ambassadors and other volunteers from the student organization, Environmental Advocates, will join you as they discuss the paths and highlights of noteworthy markers along the specially designed route. Register today and invite your colleagues to join the group as we move en masse to show the campus that we are both health conscious and ecoconscious.

The first 25 people who register and participate will receive a FREE UTEP water bottle.

CCreate e te your own w Grill G ill bby Using U i the PPower we off the SSun!! !

Rules: s The first 10 entered organizations will be given $100 to spend for materials s Each team must successfully cook their hot dog/veggie dog using their homemade solar cooker s Each team will be scored on creativity as well as successful product, and presentation. s The first, second, and third place teams will receive a monetary award for their group.

UTEP’s Earth Week 2011 celebration, which runs Friday, April 15, to Friday, April 22, will have a daily theme. The themes for the week are life and nature’s four elements: water, air, fire and Earth. The public can attend discussions and events on various topics, including energy conservation, global warming, transportation, the impact of urban sprawl, water scarcity and more. Family-friendly events include a solar hot dog cooking contest, carbon footprint demonstrations and performances by local musicians.

Do you know someone or an organization here on campus that is doing something green to help out the environment ? s We want to know who here on campus is helping take care of our environment. s What innovative methods are people putting to work in efforts to be more environmentally friendly? s What alternatives are they applying to better save energy? s What makes them sustainable living super stars?

To nominate a stand-out UTEP environmentalist, simply let us know, in 500 words or less, why they are deserving of the UTEP Green Award and what they are doing to help the environment. We know that people on this campus are going green; it's time they get the recognition they deserve! Nominate someone today and let us know about all the environmental activism that is taking place.

What’s your first question when looking for housing?

ILLEGAL TENANTS WILLING TO TAKE RISK FOR CHEAPER RENT

By Lauren Schroeder schro193@msu.edu “I’d probably ask the price of the place, that’s the main thing. Some places (charge) way too high, like the place I’m living at right now and all the associated costs with it that I didn’t realize at first.”

“What bills are included in the rent? I wanted to see how much the total comes to because sometimes it will be shorter in the end if all the bills are included, even if it’s more expensive in the beginning.”

PERKS OF LIVING OFF CAMPUS INCLUDE PETS

“Do I have my own bathroom? You can just jump right out of bed and go to the bathroom when you need to.

It’s more privacy.”

Quantanise Williams Nursing junior

“I would want to know the basics. I would want to know the price first. Being a student on campus, price is a sticking point because it should be cheaper to live there than in the dorms.”

MATT R ADICK | THE STATE NEWS

THE STATE NEWS ■■

Senior Jane Keizer, who requested to use an alias to protect her anonymity, was not planning to live illegally in her East Lansing house this year, but when plans for another residency fell through, she had no choice but to be the seventh tenant in a house leased for six by the East Lansing zoning commission.

For Keizer and her roommates, it seems appropriate for all the rooms in their house to be occupied, lessening the expenses of rent and bills. Without Keizer’s contribution, her roommate’s rent fee would spike, without utilities included.

Keizer said her landlord currently is unaware of her residency in the house, and the building has held an extra tenant for the past two years.

“The consequences do kind of scare me, but I don’t really think about (getting caught) that much,” Keizer said. “If it ever came down to that, I think we could talk to the landlord and work something out without the city getting involved.”

Annette Irwin, assistant director for the East Lansing Code Enforcement and Neighborhood Conservation, said she urges students to avoid over-occupying a house despite its perks because the consequences aren’t worth the gamble.

According to section number 1010.1 under the property maintenance code for East Lansing, tenants and property owners can be fined up to $1,000 for each day they knowingly allowed an illegal residency to occur.

“If found responsible (in court), the situation needs to be corrected before the next inspection,” Irwin said. “For the occupants, it’s more than just a monetary fine with the ticket because they now have to find another place to live, sometimes in the middle of the year.

It’s just not worth the risk.”

Over-occupancy causes a higher density of people in the area, which affects the neighborhood’s quality of life, such as less street parking available, she said.

“For the most part, when we get a complaint that indicates that something has triggered it,” Irwin said. “Sometimes the occupants are frustrated because there’s more people in the house than they had originally bargained for, or there’s a parking situation with the neighbors.”

Hagan Realty, Inc., 927 E. Grand River Ave., is an East Lansing property management business that also takes over-occupancy in houses as a serious matter, agent Matt Hagan said.

During the lease signing, tenants are informed of the company’s strict policies, especially those who are living in houses licensed for less residents than there are rooms, he said.

“If we ever hear of over-occupancy occurring, we will inform the city immediately, that way we’re the ones being proactive about deterring it from happening,” Hagan said. “It’s to our understanding that we’re not responsible for the tenants actions and cannot get fined if we’re the ones to report it.”

Despite all of these precautions made by the city and property owners, some MSU students continue to exceed specific housing limits with more tenants.

Senior Jeremy Bethke, who requested to use an alias to protect his anonymity, will graduate in December and was unwilling to sign a yearlong lease. He said living as an illegal in a house leased for four seemed like the cheapest way to avoid it.

“I’ve heard of some people that had to leave their house because they got caught, but it doesn’t bother me too much because I’m barely (home),” Bethke said.

“The landlord can come in even when no one is there to let people see the house, so I’ve got to keep everything well kept so he doesn’t find out.”

Summer concerts entertain amongst Arizona heat KELLI STARK | THE STATE PRESS | This summer was hot.

Temperatures broke 110 nearly every day. The monsoon rain was hot. The wind was hot. The concerts were hot. While you were gone on summer break, some pretty awesome shows continued to tour through Arizona despite the heat and pleased music lovers of all types.

New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys, Bob Dylan, Katy Perry, Skrillex, Journey and the Mayhem Festival all visited Arizona this summer; an extremely wide variety of genres graced Phoenix’s music scene.

New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys revived their ‘90s preteen heartthrob status. Touring together through Arizona in late June, they proved they still have what we all thought dissolved away more than 10 years ago.

Seventy-year-old Bob Dylan, after many decades of sharing his music with the world, also made it to Arizona one more time in mid-July. Katy Perry headlined a couple of weeks later on the same stage at Comerica Theatre.

Skrillex, riding his recent rise to fame, stopped by in Scottsdale with fellow electro artists Porter Robinson and Zedd for a night of lights, dance beats and dancing.

In its fourth year of existence, Mayhem Festival gained some credibility this time around with Disturbed, Godsmack and Megadeth taking the main stage at Ashley Furniture HomeStore Pavilion in Phoenix.

Ashley Pavilion also welcomed Journey, Foreigner, and Night Ranger this summer. The first two have relatively new lead singers, but they still gave a dynamite performance for all of the nostalgic 40-somethings and their collegeaged children who have grown up listening to ‘80s hair bands. Jack Blades of Night Ranger did not disappoint either.

Piano rocker Ben Folds had two Arizona stops on his tour this July. One was at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson and another at the Marquee Theater in Tempe. At the Tempe show, Folds’ opening act was Kenton Chen, an a capella performer Folds met while judging the second season of NBC’s “The SingOff” last December.

Ben Folds, known for his thick-rimmed glasses, incredible piano playing and mixture of soft ballads and hard rock songs, performed the majority of his newest full-length album, “Lonely Avenue,” written by author Nick Hornby. Folds’ audience was an extremely diverse crowd – in attendance were senior citizens, toddlers and people of every age in between.

The Decemberists paid a visit to Mesa Arts Center last Thursday and showcased their newest album, “The King is Dead” very well. Although the album is solid and lead singer Colin Meloy did a fantastic job belting out his lyrics, the band’s greatest song of the night was “The Mariner’s Revenge Song” from their 2005 album Picaresque. The nearly nine-minute song served as a perfect encore thanks to the crowd’s involvement and the utilization of instruments such as the mandolin, accordion, and stand-up bass.

Passing through town last week was Scotland natives Frightened Rabbit on tour with indie rock legends Death Cab For Cutie.

The combination of Frightened Rabbit’s beards and ac-

cents captured the audiences’ attention, along with the catchy tunes of their newly released album, “The Winter of Mixed Drinks.”

Unlike Frightened Rabbit, Death Cab focused less on the publicity of their new album and more on what they knew the majority of the crowd wanted to hear. Of the eleven songs on “Codes and Keys,” released in May of this year, the band performed four.

The rest were all oldies from Death Cab For Cutie’s

discography that the fans were begging to see them perform. Frontman Ben Gibbard pleased his crowd, performing on multiple instruments throughout the set and mocking how hot Arizona is. “Can you imagine if this show were outdoors? F--- that,” Gibbard noted between songs.

The big shows and exciting concerts don’t just occur during the summer, though; keep a heads up for Lil Wayne’s tour coming through Phoenix on Aug.

25th. Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and the Walkmen will also be performing at Comerica Theatre during the middle of September. Blink-182, Matt and Kim and native Arizonans Jimmy Eat World are also headlining this year’s edition of Fall Frenzy at Tempe Beach Park late next month, so don’t forget to mix in a little fun in with all of the schoolwork you are being assigned.
