Duke defeats Michigan Jonker pleased with seniors’ Sunday to reach Sweet 16 performance during Classic Softball
By Ken Tysiac MCT Campus
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michigan guard Darius Morris’ attempt at a tying shot caromed off the back rim with one second remaining Sunday afternoon, allowing No. 1 seed Duke to advance to the NCAA tournament’s West Regional semifinals with a 73-71 win at Time Warner Cable Arena. The Blue Devils led by as many as 15 points in the second half, but guard Tim Hardaway Jr. scored seven of his 15 points in the final 3:09 to rally the Wolverines. A Hardaway 3-pointer with 1:27 remaining cut the deficit to 70-69, but Duke freshman guard Kyrie Irving made a 6-foot bank shot against a 1-3-1 zone with 31 seconds left. Morris drove the lane for a layup with 10 seconds remaining, and Michigan immediately fouled Duke guard Nolan Smith. He made the first of two free throws with 8.6 seconds left, and Morris made a mad rush down the court for an attempt at the tying basket. His final shot caromed off the rim, leaving Duke to celebrate coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 900th career win. Krzyzewski needs three more wins to break Bob Knight’s Division I record. Smith scored 24 points and Kyle Singler added 13 points and eight rebounds to lift Duke (32-4) into the West Regional semifinals. The Blue Devils will play the winner of Sunday’s game between No. 4 seed Texas and No. 5 seed Arizona at a time to be announced Thursday in Anaheim, Calif. Disciplined, well-drilled Michigan (21-14) didn’t give up and made a furious run at the Blue Devils. Tim Hardaway Jr. made a driving layup, a jumper from the free throw line and a

3-pointer within 1:42 to pull the Wolverines within 70-69 with 1:27 remaining. Both teams started sloppily, as Duke committed five turnovers in the first seven minutes and missed an opportunity to run out to a large early lead. The Blue Devils primarily used a small lineup with three guards on the floor and Singler playing power forward to match up with a Michigan team that spreads out opponents in order to open up 3-point shooters. That defensive strategy worked well early, and a Singler 3-pointer gave the Blue Devils a 13-6 advantage with 12:22
remaining in the first half. But suddenly Michigan found its rhythm on offense, driving the lane to collapse Duke’s defense and then passing out to open 3-point shooters. During a period of 5:44, the Wolverines hit five 3-pointers and scored 20 points to tie the score at 26-26. But Irving made his presence felt by making five of six free throws in the final 5:16 of the half, sending the Blue Devils to the intermission with a 37-33 advantage. For a team that had won each of its last four games by margins of 14 points or more, it was an unusually close halftime score.
Two strong pitching performances allowed Central Michigan softball to go 2-2 in the Hoosier Classic over the weekend in Bloomington, Ind. Senior Kari Seddon (4-4) pitched her fifth complete game Friday, earning a 5-1 win against Loyola. Fellow senior Amanda Patrick stepped up with a home run to help the Chippewa scoring. “(Seddon) is a great competitor,” said CMU coach Margo Jonker. “She is a great person, we’re fortunate to have her in the program. She always gives her best.” Those aren’t the only two seniors that Jonker has been pleased with this season. “Amanda Klosterman has stepped up her game tremendously,” Jonker said before the Hoosier Classic. “I’m so proud of her and how her game has matured and how she has matured since last year.” CMU lost the second game Friday to Indiana 1-0. Hoosiers senior lefthanded pitcher Morgan Melloh threw a completegame shut out. “The pitching was faster than we’ve seen,” Jonker said following the game. “A lefty pitching with more speed, and more movement.” The Chippewas bounced back Saturday, beating Wright State 5-2 with the help of another Patrick home run. The two-run shot was capped off a five-run in the last

K
aihla Szunko only needed two rebounds and she grabbed 11. It was her final game as a Chippewa and she went out in a way no other player in Mid-American Conference has before. During CMU’s 72-59 loss at Illinois State in the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament, the senior forward became the first player in conference history to have 1,000 rebounds, 1,000 points and 200 steals in a career.
to win some more games, but when she looks back she will realize there were no regrets and that she had an illustrious career. The loss to the Redbirds last Thursday ended the careers of Szunko, Shonda Long, Laura Baker and Camille Ramsey. Both Szunko and Long finish their careers in the top 10 in program history for scoring, and Long holds the record for most three pointers made in a career in CMU history. These seniors will be missed, but not forgotten. They are all part of some of the biggest single-season turnarounds in conference history during their respective careers. But the loss of these
John Evans Senior Reporter future is more than bright. Freshmen Taylor Johnson and Niki DiGuilio, MAC Freshman of the Year and Sixth Player of the Year, respectively, were two of the best in the league and will have this team rolling on all cylinders next season. Sophomore Brandie Baker should be completely healthy next season after tearing her ACL in 2009. She missed an entire season and took a medical redshirt after being
three starters next year, including junior Skylar Miller, who started in every game this season. This team is going to be good — I mean, possibly top 25 ranked good. This program has improved every season under head coach Sue Guevara. She is the type of determined, persistent and emotional coach that every player desires at some point in their athletic career. There will, and should, be a buzz around campus about this team in the coming years. For the seniors, it has been a privilege. They have left a legacy that not many senior classes have been able to. They helped CMU reach just its third postseason in
three innings of the game to come back and win. Wright State still out-hit CMU 5-3 on the day. The C h i p p e w a s Margo Jonker took advantage of 12 walks and made two of their hits score four runs. “The pitching was slow — we had to wait for it,” Jonker said. “They walked a lot of people, and we left a lot of people on base.” Freshman Chelsea Sundberg (4-1) struck out four Wright State batters and gave up five hits. Sundberg is third on the team in strikeouts (32), innings pitched (32.1) and fourth with opponent batting average at .246. CMU (13-9) lost the second game to Michigan State 3-0 after a pair of Spartan solo homers. Rain washed away Sunday’s scheduled game to finish CMU’s tournament play against Indiana. The Chippewas will change their focus to playing a double-
header Tuesday against Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne Mastodons (10-6-1) in Fort Wayne, Ind. “We would’ve liked to play Indiana twice,” Jonker said. “Would have been able to get more at-bats and been more ready for conference play.” The Sunday matchup would have pitted a rematch of the 1-0 pitchers’ duel between Melloh and Dornbos from Friday that Jonker wanted. “Looking forward to facing her again,” Jonker said after Friday’s game. The Mastodons will likely pitch Courtney Cronin (7-5) and Rachel Staschuk (2-1) Tuesday. Both pitchers boast an earned run average under three runs per game. The Chippewas' top two pitchers have been Seddon and sophomore Dornbos (4-4), who both have sub-two ERAs. Sundberg could also see time in the circle with her 3.03 ERA and 4-1 record. “It’s another opportunity to sharpen our skills before conference play,” Jonker said. sports@cm-life.com

It’s
Halloween weekend and I’m looking in my closet for an original idea. I have the choice of a little black dress, a little black dress or another little black dress. Wow, I sound like Posh Spice right now. Anyway, I can hook a dress up with a pair of cute animal ears on my head and I’m good to go for the weekend, right? Wrong. That may have worked in high school when we had a lack of creativity, but I am in college. I have the skill to come up with a killer costume. Halloween is by far one of my favorite holidays celebrated at college. There is sure to be a plethora of things to do every night and because everyone is dressed up, there is almost magic in the air. Each night is almost like a coming out party for each freshman girl. Finally, she doesn’t have to have a parentapproved costume on when she leaves the house and switch into her actual costume at a friend’s house. I’m here to tell you I made the mistake of going out super scandalous freshman year, lost the people I was with, and ended up getting walked home by two random guys dressed as tourists. Let me explain before you sit there wondering how this could have possibly happened. My suitemate and I decided to dress up as something together for Friday night and promised that as long as we stuck together, it would be genius. We went to Walmart and grabbed child-sized Mario and Luigi costumes and went to town on them. We cut the jumper to make it a shirt and wore soffe shorts that matched. It was brilliant. The costumes came with huge hats labeled “M” and “L.” We added some sparkle and shine and we were on our way. We literally went to as many houses as if we were trick or treating. We would run around singing the Mario theme song and even jump in the air and yell “brring,” as if we hit a coin. The best was when I went up to “hit a coin” and this random guy picked me up and put me on his shoulders and said, “Hey look, now you’re a big Luigi.” I’m pretty sure I laughed until I cried after that one. We continued our night and made our rounds until we came to a doomed stop — the house where I lost my Mario. We walked in together and both headed straight for the dance floor, which was nothing out of the ordinary. The turning point was when I went outside for air and assumed she followed me out. About 20 minutes later, after circling the party and asking everyone if they had seen my Mario, I decided to sit on a curb and wait. As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, two guys walked over to me and began to ask how my night was. In my head I was thinking, “Oh great, creep status. Get me out of here.” Yet, they ended up being genuinely sweet. They asked

here is only one weekend during the entire year that it is not only socially acceptable, but also socially encouraged, to become someone you probably aren’t. This weekend, despite being totally pointless and without real historical backing, leads to some of the best parties of the year that you surely don’t want to miss. In order to not look completely ridiculous, you must wear a costume. But wearing a costume can also make you look completely ridiculous. I remember the days when Halloween meant just going to the store and buying some extremely overpriced outfit you will only wear once. Now that I think about it, I know girls that still do that. The success of the night was measured by the quality and quantity of candy. A bag full of Take 5 bars made for one hell of a night. Almond Joys were a total letdown. But alas, as we moved into high school, Halloween lost its valor. Instead of candy and “aw’s” from families, trick-or-treating would get you a call to the cops and potentially a restraining order. I know I thought this holiday had truly lost its excitement for good by senior year, but little did I know what was waiting around the corner. When I entered college, Halloween suddenly became just as awesome, if not more so than when I was young. Exit bags of candy, enter Solo cups. Where walking from house to
house was done to get candy before, it is now done only to get to the next party. College Halloween — where the only thing less visible than your clothing is your dignity. The most important part of Halloween in college — yes, even more important than that apartment party you cannot move around in — is the costume. This is how to make or break your Halloween weekend. A good costume will get you into the best parties, score you a conversation with the cutest girls, and may even get you a free cup. Bottom tier costumes will send you back on the Blacksburg Transit before you can even say, “I’m a police officer.” What are these costumes at the bottom of the totem pole? The uncreative football players, kitty cats and nurses. It’s definitely not a costume if you wear that jersey to football games. You are not a nurse, hun, you are a floozy. Being a typical college male, I have no problem with females choosing to show their assets. All I ask for is a little creativity when it comes to your costume. I have seen the bunny rabbit act pulled a few too many times during my tenure. Those experienced “Halloweeners” such as Kelley and I know there are few limits to college Halloween costumes. Except that NuvaRing costume I saw a few years back. Still trying to figure out if that is extremely creative
or downright disgusting. I can only imagine the pick-up lines he used that night. There are a few rules I follow when searching for a costume. First of all, I must be able to dance. I will simply not let a bulky costume get in my way of grinding with that cutie in the Pocahontas outfit. Sorry robot, you’re out. Second is the durability factor. I need my costume to survive when it is 1:55 a.m. and I am sprinting from the bus stop to make it to the doors of DX in time. Also, be warned that couple outfits can turn awkward when your partner leaves you to spend the night in Oak Lane. When Mac and PC from the Apple commercials are separated, you just look like a nerd. Other than that, pretty much anything goes. I expect to see a lot of Don Drapers, Casey Anthonys and more than likely a Twilight reference or two. I just encourage you to dig deep and think of something new. What am I going as you may ask? Well, you will just have to find me apartment hopping in Pheasant Rage to find out.

Sedaris puts childhood spin on serious topics with ‘Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk’ Alison Ritchie
aritchi1@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater Don’t let the talking bears or colorful illustrations fool you this book is not for kids. I n “ S q u i r re l S e e k s C h i p munk,” author David Sedaris (“When You Are Engulfed in Flames,” “Me Talk Pretty One Day”) breaks free from his usual narrative nonfiction essays. Instead he has created what he dubs, “A Modest Bestiary.” The book is comprised of 16 folktales in which animals are personified and thrust into everyday situations. From alcoholic cats to rats with AIDS, Sedaris leaves no taboo subject untouched. The title story tells of a squirrel and his chipmunk girlfriend. They bond over a mutual hatred of dogs, but their inevitable differences and conflicting family pressures force the couple to end their relationship. Years later, the chipmunk reminisces about what went wrong. In an interview on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” Sedaris explained that he chose animal characters because it eliminates the need for unnecessary description. “I like that,” Sedaris said. “Brevity.”
And so he does. His stories here are much shorter and more focused than his past works. With each story averaging about five pages, the book is a quick read. But the genius of his writing stresses quality, not quantity. Sedaris has an amazing talent for capturing human absurdity in otherwise mundane life situations. What’s more impressive is his ability to do this without a single human character. The illustrations by Ian Falconer add another level of playfulness to the book. They are all done in black and white with splashes of orange. Many of the pictures have the charm and charisma that Falconer brings to his popular children’s book series, “Olivia,” while others are simply disturbing. The book always toes the thin line between comedy and obscenity. One story involving singing leeches living in an elephant’s rectum will either make readers bend over laughing or stop reading entirely. Those familiar with Sedaris’s writing will likely choose the former. Readers will finish the book with a feeling that they are in on a private joke between themselves and the author. Some may wonder why more novelists haven’t tackled the
adult children’s book genre. But like Sedaris himself, “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk” is a rare breed.

‘The Rite’ breaks tradition of typical exorcism thriller Kaylee Remington kremingt@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater We’ve all seen our share of exorcism movies, so you know how evil the devil can be. And, like any handful of movies today, “The Rite” is based upon true events. Anthony Hopkins portrays an exorcist in the movie, which opens in theaters Friday. Father Lucas Trevant (Hopkins) takes an American priest named Michael Kovak under his wing at the exorcism school in Rome, as Kovak doesn’t believe in the devil. Hopkins pushes possessed spirits out of his clients, begging them to reveal their identities. In some cases, his clients don’t survive. Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue) thinks Father Lucas Trevant’s clients should be seeing a shrink instead of an exorcist because he believes they are mentally ill rather than possessed by the devil. This exorcism movie doesn’t include the typical 360-degree head spin, but it offers an eerie and dark experience. The effects
and makeup are phenomenal, especially when the devil rises to the surface of its victims. The victims’s faces begin to appear gray, and cracks form in their skin. The audience sees a whole new face when the devil starts to speak, and the victims’s eyes are no longer their original color. Hopkins has played spooky roles before, like Dr. Hannibal Lecter in “Silence of the Lambs,” but this character brings his acting skills to new heights. The acting is great, and the movie moved along quite well – not bad for almost two hours long. What set this movie apart from other exorcism movies I’ve seen is the unsuspecting dialogue Father Lucas Trevant brings in the middle of the movie that induces laughter in the audience – not something you see in movies like “The E x o rc i s t . ” A l t h o u g h F a t h e r Lucas Trevant takes his job seriously, he also brings a little light humor to the situation. Besides the different types of dialogue, the direction is typical of an exorcism movie but with a great
ending, as you will discover if you choose to see it. Directed by Mikael Hafstrom and written by Matt Baglio and Michael Petroni, “The Rite” will definitely entertain those who enjoy psychological thrillers – others, perhaps, not
The “n-word” no more in Huck Finn For decades, Mark Twain has been one of the most beloved authors in the English language. Almost everyone knows the characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn and has read those books. However, now Mark Twain’s immortal words are in danger of being “modernized” so as not to offend people. According to the New York Times, “Huckleberry Finn” will soon be getting a literary makeover by replacing the word “nigger” with the word “slave.” The n-word appears 219 times in the novel. I’ll be honest, I hate that word. I think it’s crude and derogatory, but I don’t think that it should be changed in “Huck Finn.” When Twain first published “Huck Finn,” it was 1884 – not long after the Civil War. African-Americans were no closer to gaining rights than they were before the war and a lot of people still looked down on African-Americans as second-class citizens. Twain was merely writing about his time period. I’m not condoning Twain’s use of the word, or defending it, but to change that word is to defile the book. Jim, the African-American in question and the person to whom that word is describing most of the time, is a beloved character. He’s not well-educated, but he is a good man, and Huck’s protector in a sense, and Huck feels compelled to rescue him through the course of the novel. But in that time period, they would never be considered friends. Twain’s novel is not the first to undergo such heat. Charles Dickens, whom I like even more than Twain, has come under heat for portrayal his of Fagin the Jew in “Oliver Twist.” Fagin is a thief and a scoundrel who could or could not be engaging in sexual acts with the young boys he recruits to join his gang of pickpockets. Dickens’s defense was that, in those days, Jews were the ones most likely to engage in criminal activity, but that he bore no ill will to those of the Jewish faith. Nevertheless, Dickens later changed the last 15 chapters of “Oliver Twist” and removed any mentions of “the Jew.” But allow me to stress that was Dickens’s choice. Twain, on the other hand, is dead and cannot revise his work. To me, that makes this whole deal even
Adrienne Savoldi
more contemptuous because the author isn’t around to defend himself or his work. Another famous instance of censorship involves Ray Bradbury’s famous novel “Fahrenheit 451.” For years, Bradbury’s novel, ironically about censorship, was censored before he finally realized what was going on. He was understandably ticked. Censorship to me is a dirty word, especially in writing. And in a book such as Twain’s, we can’t just rewrite history. There was slavery in America. (People did treat AfricanAmericans with ridicule.) Jews in Dickens’s time suffered poor reputations, deserved or not. One of my favorite quotes from “Fahrenheit 451” describes this situation about books perfectly: “They show the pores in the face of life.” Twain is probably turning in his grave to hear that his book may be rewritten. Let’s get real, people. Just because something offends you doesn’t mean it offends somebody else. I mentioned above that I don’t like the n-word, but it’s not my book. If the book bothers you, put it down and find another. As for those who have to read the book in school, it opens the floor for literary discussions about Twain’s — or any author ’s — time period, what they believed, what the historical context is and what some attributes of the character are. Expurgation is a sin against the written word. Leave “Huckleberry Finn,” and all books, alone because they are poignant in their own ways. Adrienne Savoldi is a features correspondent.
so much. Father Lucas Trevant and Michael Kovak work well with one another as Kovak rediscovers his faith working with demonic spirits. Kaylee Remington is a features correspondent.

Breaking up is hard to do SEAN LOGAN is a senior majoring in journalism
One of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest challenges is coming to grips with the end of something special. This past winter, when Derek Jeter was negotiating his new contract, the Yankees were prepared for this sobering reality. Their hardline financial stance was a clear indication that they thought Jeter had little left in the tank. Even though he was coming off an underwhelming statistical season, the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitude seemed callous. After all, this was
the captain, the cog of New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beloved â&#x20AC;&#x153;Core Four.â&#x20AC;? To the innocent bystander, Jeter still looks and sounds the same, which made a bounce-back season seem plausible. At the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halfway point, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the same, though. When October rolls around, Mr. November seriously needs to contemplate retirement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a knock on his diminishing skills; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the nature of the baseball world. At 37 years old, and without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs, Jeter is nearing the end. Truth be told, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been fond of the Yankees. Through the years, their â&#x20AC;&#x153;evil
empireâ&#x20AC;? has stretched down to New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth borough, South Florida, where I grew up surrounded by insufferable Yankee fans. With that said, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always respected Jeter. How could you not? Purely from a baseball sense, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Captainâ&#x20AC;? has been the personification of cool. Whenever the Yankees were locked in a tight postseason game, Jeter would saunter to the batterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box and calmly dig in, as if he had ice water in his veins. Almost on cue, he would rip a pitch into the gap and help New York take control. With No. 2 at bat, clutch hitting became an expectation, a sure sign of his greatness.
And while sabermetricians have his criticized his defense, some of Jeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest moments have come in the field. For an athlete who has been fully indoctrinated in the narcissistic Yankee way, Jeter has always carried himself with a level of selfawareness that teammate/ foil Alex Rodriguez â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until recently â&#x20AC;&#x201D; always lacked. Even with the weight of the Big Apple on his shoulders, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never buckled. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what has made this season almost unbearable. Clearly, Jeter is a shell of his former self. His .270 batting average, which skyrocketed after his record-breaking
performance on Saturday, matches his 2010 average and is still the lowest for any full season of his 16-year career. If he gets out soon, Jeter can avoid becoming one of those â&#x20AC;&#x153;guys who held on too long.â&#x20AC;? Of course it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruin his sparkling legacy, but I always tend to think of Willie Mays, who at the end was stumbling around Shea Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outfield. Jeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not there yet, at least. Surely, there are some who see the captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storybook weekend as a sign of things to come. To me, it resembled one of those 40-point games Michael Jordan had in Washington, a fleeting moment of great-
ness for a falling star. For my generation, it will be difficult to let go of Derek Jeter. His career arc has coincided with our coming of age. By giving up on his career, it almost feels as if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reluctantly accepting entry into the real world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough. His inconsistencies this season have me stammering and spouting clichĂŠs, as if I was at the end of any fading romance. Derek, we need to talk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me. Well, to be honest weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both getting older, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for some new experiences. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to call it quits. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sealogan@indiana.edu

sphere amongst the students in the band and those supporting the team.” The NCAA has strict rules about how many people each school can bring. The band was only allowed 29 students plus the director. The cheer and dance teams also had limitations; they could only bring 12 members total. Keiser’s method to choosing the students is based on calculations made on the computer. He inputs the scores of their vocal and instrumental auditions, how long they have been with the band and their attendance. He also takes into consideration how many and of which bands the students are part of. They are then calculated into a spreadsheet and a list of students is produced. “This way, the process becomes a very objective decision,” Keiser said. On the other hand, the ISU Spirit Squads choose who can go in a different way. “We picked five veteran cheerleaders and one guy who could do stunts and be the mascot,” said Tammy Schaffer, spirit coordinator. “Then the Sparkettes brought the two four-year co-captains. The team then voted on which two rookie and veteran dancers to
send.” With pom pons at the ready and flipbooks securely attached to their instruments, the band and dance teams began Friday, or “Game Day,” with a performance at the Intercontinental Hotel Cleveland, where the team stayed. Sponsored by the ISU Alumni Association, all Sycamores were invited for a pep rally-type party at 6 p.m., four hours before tipoff. The band played such favorites as the fight song, the “Wabash Cannonball” and “Back Home Again in Indiana” in between speeches given to pump up the crowd. Speakers included President Daniel J. Bradley, Athletics Director Ron Prettyman and two members of the 2001 men’s team and one member of the 1979 team. “The reception before the game was an awesome experience to get the fans ready to support the team,” said Breana Green, a sophomore music education major. “Besides the game itself, that will be a lot of fun on the next tournament trip.” By 8 p.m., the crowd was excited and ready to greet the team as they left the hotel. The band loaded up a coach bus and headed to the Quicken Loans Arena, the site of the NCAA
east division tournament. Meeting the band as they were lining up to wait in the wings, Keiser gave them a quick talk before they made their way to the designated seating area. It was also a poignant moment for seniors of the band. Nick DeJarlais, a senior music education major and fifth year basketball band member, was grateful to have the incredible opportunity in his last year with the band. “I was incredibly happy we were able to make the tournament once before I left,” said DeJarlais. “Every year we say, ‘maybe this year we could make it,’ but this was a truly extraordinarily year.” The band was seated on the Xavier University side during halftime of the MarquetteXavier game. When the second half started, the cheerleaders for Xavier asked the basketball band if they would help cheer on the team because they were losing the game. When that game was over, it was time for the last match up of the night to begin. Toggling back and forth during media timeouts, the ISU and Syracuse bands played their own selections. Every time the fight song was played, Keiser
made sure to instruct the band to play toward ISU fans who were mostly seated off to the left of the band. Sporadic deposits of blue shirts around the arena could also be seen standing and clapping along in support of the team. Leftover Ohio State University fans were seated directly behind the band and sang along to “Shout,” an appropriate tune for college students, past and present, thanks to “Animal House.” One Ohio State fan stood every time the band played a song and cheered them on consistently by yelling, “Go band!” While the team lost 77-60, Keiser made sure to tell the band at the end of the game that he was very proud of the band’s performance. ISU fans stayed after the buzzer to hear the fight song and alma mater one last time this season. “These kids (band and spirit squad members) did a wonderful and superior job this season and this was a fantastic way to reward them,” Schaffer said. With mixed feelings of thankfulness, accomplishment and loss all at the same time, the band boarded a plane Saturday morning back home again to Indiana.
‘The Oatmeal’ book combines web favorites, new laughs BY SHANA DENNIS Reviewer
“The Oatmeal” is an offbeat and educational web based comic, though what it often educates you about is something you didn’t even know was crucial to your existence. Comics with subjects such as “Why It’s Better to Pretend You Don’t Know Anything About Computers” and “7 Reasons to Keep your Tyrannosaur Off Crack Cocaine” do not immediately leap to mind when one thinks of things one needs to know, but would you rather be without that knowledge? Matthew Inman, the creator of the comic and author of the book “5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Face” published March 1, also tackles more conventional subjects, such as grammar and science. He does so in a way that makes it funny and memorable. Titles like “How to Use a Semicolon: The Most Feared Punctuation on Earth” and “How the Male Angler Fish Gets Completely Screwed” draw the reader right in. The art of “The Oatmeal” swings between being elegantly simple to amazingly complex and is always pleasing to the eye. The language is very
frank and often very informal but always serves a purpose, whether it be to make the reader laugh or to help those not proficient in history, science or grammar understand the content. Inman also does not stick to one style of comic layout, providing variety that other comics do not have. Those who are already fans of the comic online will be pleased to know that the book includes 25 new comics that can only be found in the book, as well as a poster in the back titled “Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell to Make Us Miserable.” Many of the new materials are short vignettes that tie in with the content of comics throughout the book, but full length comics such as “The 8 Phases of Employment” and “Why Nikola Telsa is the Most Awesome Geek Who Ever Lived” cannot be found on the website. Those who are sensitive to less-appetizing language and subjects should buck up and read all 160 pages of this book anyway. It is too good and too funny to miss out on. To purchase the book for the price of $14.99 you can visit your local bookstore. For the latest updates to “The Oatmeal,” go to theoatmeal. com.

With his Academy Awardshosting gig now complete, James Franco can finally focus on all those other oddball projects he has in the pipeline, like teaching a college course about himself, producing a college musical and developing a “Three’s Company” play and movie. While some may find the Oscar nominee’s recent career choices unusual, they make perfect sense to Aron Ralston, the man Franco portrayed in director Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours.” “He’s so impassioned with his artistry, and the strangeness of all of [the projects] just tells me it’s very authentic to him,” Ralston said. “It’s all very genuine expression. He’s not doing it for attention or acclaim or money or fame. I don’t think at all that it’s some Joaquin Phoenix, like, ‘I’m going to do a story about a hoax of my life as an act of performance.’”
Corey Haim missing from Oscars ‘In Memoriam’ First Corey Haim was left out of the SAG awards’ “In Memoriam” montage, and now he’s been omitted by the Oscars too. During last night’s remembrance reel of movie industry greats who have passed away in the past year, “The Lost Boys” star, who was 38 when he died of pneumonia and a heart condition in March 2010, was missing. As Marquee previously reported, Haim’s pal Corey Feldman was furious that Haim wasn’t included in the SAG awards tribute in January and took the organization to task at the time. “We have become used to not being honored by our peers in the industry,” Feldman said. “I have faith that the Academy will make a wiser choice.”
Charlie Sheen: ‘I’m tired of pretending l’m not special’ Embattled actor Charlie Sheen took to the airwaves and the Internet Monday, claiming he has cured his substance abuse addictions with his mind and alleging that CBS, which suspended production on his sitcom, is trying to take his money and destroy his family. Sheen said he would go back and finish the season of “Two and a Half Men,” which CBS halted last week after Sheen called a radio show. But, he said, because of his psychological distress, he wants $3 million per episode rather than the $2 million he was making. “I’m tired of pretending like I’m not special,” Sheen told NBC. “I’m tired of pretending like I’m not bitching a total freaking rock star from Mars.” He later said he has “tiger blood and Adonis DNA.” At the conclusion of the final interview, given to TMZ. com, Sheen’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, resigned.

Volleyball seeks to repeat history from previous page
M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor
In 2006, host Hawai‘i knocked off USC in the NCA A Regional Semifinal. Five years later, the Rainbow Wahine have a chance to do it all over again. “I was watching. I was with my family. We got to get out here,” senior outside hitter Kanani Danielson said. “I was probably one of the little kiddies enjoying the match out there.” No. 10 seed Hawai‘i will face No. 7 seed USC on Friday at 7 p.m. in the Stan Sheriff Center. Students with validated UH Mānoa ID will not be admitted for free because it is a postseason match. The Rainbow Wahine are coming off of victories over Northern Colorado and Colorado State in the first and second round of the NCA A Tournament. The ’Bows are led by Danielson, who is a three-time Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year. Danielson leads Hawai‘i with 4.13 kills per set and 3.05 digs per set. Junior Brittany Hewitt leads the Rainbow Wahine in blocks with 1.32 blocks per set. But Hewitt knows that in order to advance in the NCA A Tournament, ever yone needs to contribute. “At this point in the season, it’s vital for everyone to be on,” Hewitt said. “And even if one of us is struggling, [to] just stay in the game and do what we can is really all we can ask.”
GEARING UP
For USC head coach Mick Haley, preparing for Hawai‘i is going to be a battle. “Basically, the way we do each team is we don’t go beyond the team that we’re gonna play, and we sit down and look at how they play and what they do. A nd we tr y and see what we do best
“AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON, IT’S VITAL FOR EVERYONE TO BE ON.” and then tr y to match that up a little bit – and then we go to battle,” Haley said. USC comes into Honolulu after defeating Yale and Tulsa in the first and second rounds. The Trojans are led by senior outside hitter A lex Jupiter, who averages 4.32 kills per set and 0.50 aces per set. “She’s been at USC ever since I was being recruited,” sophomore setter Mita Uiato said. “I knew who she was even before I came here. She’s tall, she’s [an] AllAmerican, their go-to hitter, [and] she plays all the way around.” For Hewitt, preparing for USC starts like any match. “[We begin] by studying the scouting report that [associate head coach] Scott [Wong] writes up for us and just knowing their hitting tendencies, and figuring out where I need to be and where we can attack offensively,” Hewitt said. The winner of Hawai‘i and USC’s match will face the winner of Kansas State vs. No. 15 seed Pepperdine on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Wildcats and Waves will square off in the other semifinal on Friday at 5 p.m. The Rainbow Wahine are familiar with Kansas State and Pepperdine. Hawai‘i swept the Wildcats last season and defeated the Waves twice this season.
“It is exciting that we have seen those other two teams,” Uiato said. “We still can’t take them lightly, even though we’ve seen them already. Obviously they beat good teams last week. If we were to be looking at them, we would take them like any other top team.”
T H E R I VA L RY A lthough Hawai‘i and USC are nonconference opponents, they played each other once each of the past three seasons. The Rainbow Wahine defeated the Trojans in the second round of the NCA A Tournament in 2008 and 2009 on the road. USC returned the favor last season, handing Hawai‘i what ended up being its only regular-season loss that year. For both teams, a No. 7 seed and No. 10 seed doesn’t seem to do each other justice. USC, the Pac 12 conference champion, finished the season atop the AVCA Coaches Poll, while Hawai‘i, the WAC champions, finished the season at No. 3. Haley feels frustrated that these two teams couldn’t face off later in the tournament. “It’s hard to know who’s right on the poll,” Haley said. “We haven’t played Hawai‘i, we haven’t played Kansas State, and we haven’t played Pepperdine. So we really don’t know who’s best. Polls are, at best, a guess. I really don’t know who the best teams are at this point. We’re just trying to win all our matches. That’s kind of the goal.”

Until Nov. 30, the Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research is displaying work by Aribel Leon-Lynn. Leon-Lynn is a breast cancer survivor who started painting during her treatments. She moved to Fort Riley from Panama at age 12. “She was such a neat woman when I met her...she was wonderful,” said Marcia Locke, public relations and outreach coordinator for the cancer research center. Locke said Leon-Lynn is also working on a book of her paintings. The paintings are being ac-
companied with commentary about her time in treatment. “Her paintings have become really something,” Locke said. Leon-Lynn has had paintings and events in Kansas City, Lawrence and Junction City. The exhibit is located in the halls of the cancer research center and will be available to the public through Nov. 30. The building is located on 17th Street across from Gen. Myers Hall. The building is open from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

City reports on future plans Jakki Thompson staff writer The city commissioners voted to approve the new Traffic Operations Facility to be located north of Fort Riley Boulevard and south of El Paso Lane on both sides of Eleventh Street at their meeting on Tuesday night. This new building will give space to the staff who control the traffic signals and signs in Manhattan as well as other traffic-related issues. Mayor Jim Sherow presented the monthly Community Service award. This month the award was presented to the committee members of the Take Charge Challenge. Even though not all of the main leaders of this commit-
tee were in attendance, Sherow and other chairs spoke positively about the initiative. Noel Schulz, K-State first lady and university chair, and Bruce Snead, community chair, both spoke about how this was a community effort. Snead and Schulz both said that without the help of the community and the university, the win over Laurence and the University of Kansas wouldn’t have been possible. The Manhattan VFW was honored with a proclamation at the meeting on Tuesday night. Sherow strongly encouraged all community members of Manhattan to contribute to the Buddy Poppy fundraiser on Nov. 5. All the proceeds of the Buddy Poppy fundraiser
go to disabled soldiers and their families. During the regular agenda, representatives from the Flint Hills Discovery Center spoke about their proposed hours of operation, their admission fees and their facility usage fees. The Flint Hills Discovery Center’s hours of operation will be shortened from Labor Day to Memorial Day and lengthened from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Admission fees will be $9 for adults, $7 for senior citizens, students, military personnel and organized groups of 20 people or more, $4 for children, $3 for school groups and free for anyone under the age of two. Facility usage fees will vary on length of time and amount of people at the event.
ECO | K-State, Manhattan win Take Charge Continued from page 3 with audits. About 25 people from K-State and the Manhattan were a part of the challenge’s local leadership team, according to first lady Noel Schulz, co-chair of the challenge and professor of electrical and computer engineering. “Like our K-State football team, it really was a team effort,” said Schulz, “with different folks helping out in many different ways and different times.” This team even included a regional coordinator, Simon Sylvester-Chaudhuri, who worked 20 hours a week as a liaison between the K-State and Manhattan team and the Climate and Energy Project, according to Schulz. Bruce Snead, co-chair of the challenge and head of K-State engineering extension, said in an email interview that seeing results after all the hard work put into the project was gratifying, and he hopes that the results continue. “We hope that the awareness raised through the challenge will persist in people thinking
about energy when they use and replace lights and set their thermostats,” he said. Here on the K-State campus there was support and help from

In addition to bragging rights, the K-State and Manhattan team received $100,000 to be spent on energy efficiency, which will be split evenly between the city and the campus, according to Schulz.

The ability to beat KU and Lawrence came as a courtesy of a “tremendously powerful community-wide partnership,” said Champion, which included realtors, local businesses and even a local pastor. Some of the changes made in the community during the nine-month challenge included the replacement of all the light bulbs in Manhattan Town Center
with energy efficient bulbs. The first family opened up the President’s Residence to an energy audit earlier this year, which then resulted in a volunteer work project for students in the department of architectural engineering and construction science. “We can tell a difference,” said Schulz. “We don’t have as many drafts.” Overall, many different people came together and put in hours of hard work to ensure the success of the challenge. “It took a good deal of time and energy,” said Snead, but when asked if it was worth it, there seemed to be no doubt. “100 percent absolutely,” he said. “It was a real pleasure to work with Noel and the leadership team and be inspired by their ideas and commitment.” While the challenge was a success, Champion voiced hopes that the outcome will continue and have a lasting effect on the campus and the community. “It doesn’t matter who wins,” Champion said. “Everybody won, they engaged awareness and saved money and energy.”

SPORTS IN BRIEF
Women’s Volleyball in Four-Game Losing Streak The season does not seem to be ending well for the UC Irvine women’s volleyball team (1018) after dropping two games on the road, extending their losing streak to four games. On Nov. 18, the Anteaters went to Cal State Fullerton to take on the Titans, losing 3-1. The Titans took control of the first two sets as they won 25-21 and 25-18, but Irvine showed some fight in the third set. Both teams kept trading points until the score reached 27-27. Junior Taylor Smith landed a kill and senior Alexandra Hauser took the set with an ace. The Titans took control of the fourth set, jumping to a 18-9 lead. The Titans went on to win 25-19. The Anteaters then played against their conference rival, Cal State Long Beach, in their traditional Black and Blue rivalry on Nov. 19. UCI dominated the first set 25-19, but they faltered in the last three sets as they lost by lopsided
scores of 25-16, 25-15, and 25-17. UCI is now 4-12 in the Big West Conference.
Five Pitchers and Three Position Players Are Recruited by UCI UC Irvine’s 2012 recruitment class features five pitchers, three of whom are righthanders, who will bolster their staff and bullpen. The five are Josh Bornstein of El Segundo High School, Tyler Brashears of El Toro High School, Kevin Grendell of San Pasqual High School, Andrew Potter of Eastside High School and Elliot Surrey of Crescenta Valley High School. The Anteaters included three position players to join the team: middle infielder Tim Lopes from Edison High School in Huntington Beach, outfielder Jordan Morrison from Arroyo Grande High School and outfielder Taylor Dominique from Salt Lake Community College in Utah.

UNC Charlotte helps save the tatas
Earth balloon used at local schools
CASES OF CANCER IN MECKLENBURG COUNTY
Eden Creamer
The Earth balloon, an exhibit which was present at the International Festival Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011, was an instructional tool at two elementary schools before it was used at the annual UNC Charlotte event. Students at Nathanial Alexander Elementary School, a Charlotte Mecklenburg School (CMS) and Woodrow Wilson Elementary School a Kannapolis City School (KCS), received the opportunity to learn first-hand about the world they live in. Various lessons were taught to students using the balloon. Younger students learned about continents, oceans and geographic features, while older students studied weather patterns. A sponsor of I-Fest, the UNC Charlotte Office of International Programs (OIP) coordinated with the schools to allow elementary school students to benefit from the Earth balloon before it became a display at the International Festival. Nathanial Alexander Elementary School is part of the Governor’s Village. The Teacher’s Insurance and Annuity Association – College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA – CREF) and UNC Charlotte partnered together to developed programs for the four schools that art part of the Governor’s Village. This partnership began at the beginning of the 2011 academic year. The four CMS schools that were founded as the Governor’s Village in 1996 are John M. Morehead STEM Academy, Nathaniel Alexander Elementary, James Martin Middle and Zebulon B. Vance High.

Many organizations on campus kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, at the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. The event took place in uptown Charlotte, beginning on South Tryon Street. According to the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer is one of the most diagnosed forms of cancer among all ethnic backgrounds. In 2011, 7,390 newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer are expected in North Caro-
lina among both genders, based on a study done by the American Cancer Society. This is the second highest expected count for North Carolina, just below prostate cancer. The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, which began in 1983, is known as one of the largest 5K walks in the world, and raises large amounts of money for breast cancer. The walk also serves to celebrate survival from breast cancer, and honor those who lost their lives to the disease. The first annual race in Charlotte, NC, was in 1997, with over 2,000 participants at the first race. The Komen Charlotte Affiliate has grown in the past 11 years, and
now over 16,000 people participate in the race. The Komen Charlotte Affiliate holds numerous fundraisers throughout the year, which includes the Race for the Cure, Passionately Pink for the Cure, Marathon for the Cure, 3-Day for the Cure, Laugh for the Cure and eBay Giving Works. Money raised at the Charlotte race is kept in local communities for breast cancer education, screening and treatment, and is used to support the National Award and Research Grant Program. In 2010, there were more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

KUWITZKY Continued from A12 better opportunities, but when those offers came, Kuwitzky just could not leave the program that he had turned around. “I planned to come in, try to build a program, and then I thought I’d move on,” Kuwitzky said. “I thought I’d move up the coaching ladder to some bigger schools…I thought that was always going to be the process. “That’s not the way it happened. I’ve had some good opportunities that I’ve turned down over the years to stay…A lot of factors outweighed the opportunities.” Now, here he is, 25 years older and 438 victories later, on the verge of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Savannah head coach Nick Kemerling, along with Maryville Athletic Director Paul Snow, nominated Kuwitzky after facing his teams for nine years as the Savage’s coach and playing against Kuwitzky-coached teams during his own high school years. “There isn’t anyone that knows anything about basketball that doesn’t respect what Coach Kuwitzky has done here in Maryville,” Kemerling said. The Spoofhounds did it Kuwitzky’s way and never wavered to all the outside input and the changing styles of the game. “When you get into big games, our style of play works,” Kuwitzky said. “You get down there and people want that style to change, but then they see what we’re doing and the success we have and say ‘Well, I guess it’s not too bad.’ “I think that’s what I’m
the most proud of, that I’ve been able to do it my way. I’ll listen to the suggestions, but I’ve still stayed with my core principles and beliefs.” The ’Hounds run a pressure man-to-man defense and a motion offense based on the systems of Kuwitzky’s high school coach, Iba, and legendary college coaches John Wooden and Bob Knight. “The best thing about coaching against Maryville is that you know exactly what they’re going to do. They’re not a hard team to scout,” Kemerling said. “That also tells you what kind of coach he is because you know what they’re going to do, but there isn’t much you can do about it.” Once Snow collected all of the information, Kemerling took the application to the Coaches Association meeting and pushed it through to the Hall of Fame Board of Directors. “He has been at one school for a long period of time, which in this day and age of coaching is not all that common and that factored in heavily,” said Ryan Shaw, president-elect of the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association. “He’s won a lot of games in northwest Missouri and done a lot at that level. There really wasn’t a lot of question about it and he was so strongly recommended by coaches in that area that it was a pretty easy decision as far as my vote goes.” While he did not have the 500 victories necessary for automatic induction, his resume stacked up with some of the best Missouri has ever seen roam the sidelines. The induction ceremony will take place on April 30 at the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mo.

Advice
NO B.S.
Oh, she’s a gold digger
Hey CSU! The great thing about this next weekend is the fact that the snow will be gone, so all of you trickor-treaters can be someone completely different or, for some of you, be who you truly are but just in public now! I know we’re going to see plenty “Naughty School Girls,” and “D**k in a Box” costumes, but maybe everyone should try something different, but don’t ask me… I don’t have any ideas for you. But now on to your Eugene quote to live by— “Halloween is a great time for people to be who/what they want. But that’s the only night it’s allowed! Every other day of the year, be real with people… if you hate them- tell them. Be yourself because they will find out one day.”
Dear No BS, My best friend will be getting married VERY soon, and I’m one of her bridesmaids. I couldn’t be happier for someone who is practically my older sister! However, I’m having a bit of a moral dilemma here. After she almost called off the date three months ago because of “maturity issues” on both her and her fiancé’s part, she confessed something absolutely shocking to me: The only reason she is getting married to him is because she got laid off from her job and refuses to work. Her fiancé is working
Dear StuckAndConfused, This is by far the best question I have ever gotten! First let’s get to the root of the problem: your gold-digging friend aka “older sister”. Three months is not enough time to grow up enough to get married, so money is the motivation here for her. This is tough because I am all about being loyal to your friends, and I’m going to assume you and this fiancé aren’t bosom buddies. This is what I would do: Sit your friend down and be straight with her. Say, “Hello, you trashy human being, you don’t love this guy. You love his money, so don’t waste your time on this.” Make her tell him and if not, you should probably pull yourself out of being a bridesmaid, otherwise you will go on the rest of your life thinking you could’ve saved this poor dude from a life of hell with a selfish leech. Oh and do me a favor and punch your friend in the face. She sucks. Dear NoBS, My boyfriend and I have been dating for about six months, and I’m a virgin (which I’m a little ashamed of ). I know for a fact that
he’s not and wants to “do it” with me, and I’m not sure if I’m ready. Partly because I don’t know if he’s the one. Don’t get me wrong… I really do love him, but for me, this action is a very strong step into some serious territory that I don’t know he is on the same page as me on. Is it possible I can lose him if I don’t make a move? Help! ScaredForNextMove Dear ScaredForNextMove, First of all, don’t be ashamed of being a virgin (unless you’re 40). Contrary to what you learned in grade school, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to. But don’t say “do it” ever again! You’re an adult, so use your words; it’s called having sex. Say it with me… Anyway, this is the thing: This is a decision you have to make on your own. If you guys aren’t on the same page as to what this can mean for you, the relationship is doomed anyway, so keep your pants on. But talk to him about it. He may be completely understanding and wait with you. The truth is, if you do have sex with him because you’re scared of losing him: 1. You’ll probably regret it when you guys break up later on because it sounds like that’s a big possibility, and 2. It may not keep him with you anyway. That is something he can find elsewhere anyway.

“You need to get down here now. We’re at the hospital.” Fiction story: Inside the hollow Sun
I’m not doing anything
Editor’s note: This is the ninth installment of the fiction story “Inside the Hollow Sun.” The story will run in Verve throughout the semester. I had a message from Wendell the next time I checked my email. He told me about himself: a professor of English, 52 years old and an avid fisherman. He also said he had wanted a Hemingway implant a few years back. He ran out of the hospital 10 minutes before his appointment. Over the weeks following my Ketchum trip, Wendell and I messaged constantly, talking about the things we’d read and about each other. He couldn’t have been busy since we exchanged as many as four messages a day. I, on the other hand, had nothing to do with my days except find ways to waste them. He asked me why I chose the Hemingway implant, and I told him because I read “Hills Like White Elephants,” and I never stopped thinking about it. I asked him why he chose to not get his, and he said that no one with an implant had written anything he hadn’t read before. I asked him more about that,
but he never addressed my question. Greg and Elizabeth called often, but I would answer sparsely, and then even more rarely, I’d meet them for lunch or coffee. For the most part, I just wanted to stay home. Dr. Clermont ended up changing my appointment time to the end of his day, so he would have extra time to work with me. He wanted me to write again. I could tell he was disappointed with the Ketchum trip’s results. I was the same mess that had gone there in the first place, but I agreed to start a journal. I was supposed to write in it daily, and Dr. Clermont didn’t care what I put in it. He just wanted me to be writing something, anything. After one session, I found Elizabeth waiting outside Clermont’s office. “It’s been awhile,” she said. I stayed quiet. “All right,” Elizabeth started. “I think you’ve had enough time to sulk. I’ve been giving you space, but this is getting ridiculous. What have you been doing?” “Nothing,” I replied. She sighed. “Harrison, why are you doing this to me?” I paused and thought
about it. “Harrison?” “Elizabeth,” I said. “I am not doing anything.” “Oh, really? You aren’t doing anything? You might want to think about that a little more. Avoiding me? Avoiding Greg? You’ve been an ass ever since the trip.” I walked past her and without responding. “Harrison, where the hell do you think you’re going?” Her voice echoed behind me as I stepped onto the elevator. A couple weeks later, I was trying to write in my journal when the phone started ringing. I ignored it, but the phone rang again after the first call, and then a third time after that. I checked the caller ID: Elizabeth. I waited after the third call, and sure enough, the fourth one came. I took a sip from a bottle of whiskey before answering. “Hey,” I said. “Harrison,” she said. Her voice was frail. “You need to come down here now.” “What?” “It’s Greg,” she said. “You need to get down here now. We’re at the hospital.” Fiction writer Justin Goodfellow can be reached at verve@collegian.com.

sports Confidence grows as women’s golf continues to win SAHIL PATEL SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR
As another week passed, another quality victory came for the No. 3 Washington University women’s golf team. The Bears (304-306, 610) led from beginning to end at the Pat Clouse Invitational in Springfield, Ohio, as they defeated No. 2 DePauw University (316-317, 633) by 23 strokes. Rounding out the top five teams of the competition were No. 25 Wittenberg University (309-333, 642), No. 9 Allegheny College (325-321, 646) and NAIA No. 22 Walsh College (324-325, 649). Freshman Olivia Lugar won her fourth tournament of the season with a two-day score of 147 (73-74). Lugar lowered her scoring average to 74 and her versus par average to 2.20, the best marks in Division III. “I was striking the ball very well, and my management was pretty good. I was shooting for space on the green, but I was able to get up and down on the second day,” Lugar said. Junior Hannah Buck (73-78) and freshman Taylor Fagan (7576) tied for third with a score of 151. It was a career-best tworound score for Fagan.
The win marks the third time this season that the Bears have defeated DePauw in a tournament. “I think that after seeing the rankings and having been third, I think it motivated some of us to work harder and come back and beat them,” Lugar said. “When we feel like we are better as far as the rankings, we just went out to prove why we are up there and why we’re going two be contenders.” In six tournaments this season, the Tigers have finished first once and second five times, including three times to the Bears. “Beating DePauw is a big deal. They are a great team, and they have been for the past few years,” Buck said. “The past two years I’ve been here, we’ve always looked at them as being [out of reach]. If we played really well we could beat them, but beating them three times shows how far we’ve come the last year. They are ranked second in the country and were a favorite to win nationals last year, so us being able to beat them definitely gives us some confidence. With the fall season coming to a close, the victories over ranked opponents should give Wash. U. some confidence and momentum
heading into the off-season. “I hope it helps our team; our players understand that they can compete at a high level like [DePauw,] a team that we’ve been watching the last couple years,” head coach Sean Curtis said. “The fact is that they’ve all been good contests [this fall]. They’ve been close. They’ve got a veteran team that came back from an outstanding team last year. The important thing is we carry that forward and remember what that felt like later on.” The Bears’ next tournament will be the Northern Kentucky Spring Invitational in Perry Park, Ky. The team will have almost five months between action, but as Curtis put it, the spring season is like starting over. “Golf is pretty unique in that both seasons count equally as much towards statistical rankings and polls. Obviously, it’s great to get off to such a good start,” Curtis said. “In golf we almost have to start over when we get into the spring. Now we’ve got to do it all again come springtime. The last couple years, it’s gotten better every spring. We are learning how to just get ready faster and prepare ourselves for what’s going to happen in the spring. “I think its going to be much of the same, and hopefully we’ll

get a bid at the end of the spring and we’ll get to go back to the national championship, and all these good experiences we had in the fall and leading up to it are

Former soccer players find bearings in broadcast booth SAHIL PATEL SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR
Cris Collinsworth. Charles Barkley. Barry Melrose. All former athletes staying with the game they love by transitioning from the field, court or rink to the broadcast booth. Add Washington University sophomore Zev Powell and junior Eric Walls to that list. Powell and Walls both came to the school to join the men’s soccer team, but injuries led both to leave the team this season. “I was on the soccer team freshman year. I traveled to Spain this summer, and when I got back, I found out I had mono,” Powell said. “Preseason time is really important for any sport, and the fact is that if you can’t make the tryouts and preseason play, you can’t really be gauged and can’t be a part of the team that season. “[Head coach Joe Clarke] told me at one point that they were looking for people to do this, and I’m assuming they picked us because we’re so ingrained in the team, and it really is a close community. We know things that people on the outside probably
wouldn’t know. It is a cool perspective to have as a broadcaster.” Walls was in a similar situation after undergoing nasal surgery on his birthday over the summer. “Over the summer, I had surgery for my allergies. Over the years, they have severely limited my endurance and breathing,” Walls said. “I knew that by the time I would be back in soccer shape, the team would be well into the season, so I decided to take a year off. Overall, I’m feeling a lot better and am excited to be playing again next year, breathing much better and able to run faster and for longer periods.” Sports Information Director Chris Mitchell approached the pair about broadcasting the Bears’ home soccer games online. One month, and 13 games, later, both are comfortably working together to voice the games live on BearTV. “The fact is I’m in charge of doing the PA and stats and making sure the broadcast goes smoothly, and it’s a lot on my plate for one person. I just talked to Coach Clarke to see if he had anybody who would be interested in broadcasting soccer, and he mentioned
those two guys,” Mitchell, who broadcasted soccer the previous two years, said. “Now they do every game, and I think they’ve done a tremendous job.” In their first year of broadcasting, Powell and Walls have already built up a following. A combined 1,003 unique connections have tuned in to listen to their broadcasts on BearTV. “I have gotten tremendous feedback that says they have done a tremendous job,” Mitchell said. “Hopefully they can continue to do this. [I’ve gotten] great feedback from the parents [and] the fans. They’ve done a great job and I think it adds a lot to our soccer games.” Their work this season has been an asset not only to fans and parents but also to student workers like sophomore Lucy Montgomery, who manages the live stats online during soccer games. “Oftentimes it is hard to see who took a shot or things happen so quickly that you don’t see the number,” Montgomery said. “They always know who took that shot or who made the save or who had the assist, so as a stats person, I rely
on them a lot as a back up. Their knowledge of the game is really indepth, and they understand what is going on and do a good job putting that into words.” Despite the success, Powell and Walls had their share of growing pains. However, they have worked through it together. “At first, Eric and I didn’t really know who was going to do play-byplay and who would do color, and we sort of figured that out based on our personalities,” Powell said. “For the most part, I do some sort of color commentating, and he does most of the basic play-by-play stuff. It was a challenge at first, and I think we sort of got used to it, and that chemistry came to be.” “Zev is the perfect co-broadcaster. We work really well together and are able to bounce ideas off each other frequently,” Walls added. “We cover each other well if the other loses his train of thought, which has happened a few times.” Moving from the field to the booth took some getting used to for Powell, in terms of perspective and attitude. He used his training as a goalkeeper to adjust to
broadcasting. “I was a goalie, and I had to talk and communicate a lot, so I knew how to communicate in a commanding way. I just had to translate that into broadcasting,” Powell said. “I think you have to be conscious about completely different things when you’re on the field or off the field. You have to try and be impartial; we’re broadcasting to people from all over the country and from the opposing university. On the field, you can’t have any sort of sympathy for that, whereas you have to when you’re broadcasting, and that is definitely a huge difference.” Tune in to Powell and Walls’ next broadcast on Wednesday, Oct. 19, as the men’s soccer team battles Illinois Wesleyan University at Francis Field. They go live on BearTV at bearsports.wustl.edu at 7:30 p.m. “I enjoy all of it,” Walls said. “Watching the game, sitting in the box with all of the team’s facts in front of me, knowing that when I talk people are listening to my voice. This job has been all that I was hoping for and more.”

Oil prices jump $4 a barrel as tensions rise in the Middle East By Pablo Gorondi Associated Press
Oil prices jumped by over $4 a barrel on Monday amid investor concerns that violent protests spreading in Libya could disrupt crude supplies from the OPEC nation and affect other oil-rich countries in the region. By late afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for March delivery was up $4.03 to $90.23 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 16 cents to settle at $86.20 on Friday. U.S. markets, including Nymex floor trading, were closed Monday for the Presidents’ Day holiday and the thin trading volumes had the potential to amplify price fluctuations. In London, Brent crude for April delivery gained $2.37 to $104.89 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange. The spread between the Nymex and Brent contracts has narrowed slightly but still remains far above usual levels of a few dollars per barrel. Brent is considered to be more sensitive to possible disruptions of Middle East oil supplies, while large U.S. stockpiles of crude are one of the reasons for the lower Nymex quotes. On Sunday, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, son of Libyan leader
Moammar Gadhafi, warned protesters that they risked igniting a civil war in which Libya’s oil wealth “will be burned.” While Libya is among the one of the world’s biggest oil producers and has the largest proven oil reserves in the whole of Africa. It produces around 1.6 million barrels of crude a day and exports 1.1 million barrels.
“The concerns in the market go beyond Libya. It’s unlikely we’re going to see any meaningful disruption of oil from the Middle East or North Africa, but the spread of this unrest has raised anxieties.” Victor Shum
Energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore
Oil companies like U.K.based BP and Germany’s Wintershall said they were temporarily suspending operations in Libya, while Italy’s Eni said production continued normally. Some of the firms also began evacuating their foreign employees there. “Compared to Tunisia (a minor crude exporter) or Egypt (not an exporter but a transit
country), instability in Libya is a major concern to the oil industry,” said analysts at JBC Energy in Vienna. Earlier Sunday, anti-government demonstrations spread to the Libyan capital of Tripoli and protesters seized military bases and weapons. In the eastern city of Benghazi, about 60 people were killed, while more than 200 have died since the unrest began seven days ago. Oil traders are also closely watching recent protests in Iran, which is the second-largest crude exporter in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries behind Saudi Arabia. “The concerns in the market go beyond Libya,” said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore. “It’s unlikely we’re going to see any meaningful disruption of oil from the Middle East or North Africa, but the spread of this unrest has raised anxieties.” Experts also mentioned the possible spread of the political upheaval to Saudi Arabia as a possible threat to oil supplies and a bullish factor for oil prices. The kingdom which sits atop the world’s largest proven reserves of conventional crude oil. “The ‘elephant in the room’ that has the potential to really ignite the markets is Saudi Arabia,” said senior commod-

ity analyst Edward Meir at MF Global in New York. “We have to suspect that the government is watching the situation in Bahrain with some trepidation, as the Saudi leadership mirrors the Bahraini one in that most of its governing class are Sunnis, while the governed are Shiites.” The Shiite minority is pri-
marily located in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province, where the bulk of its oil is located. Bahrain, where protesters are calling for the ouster of the ruling monarchy, on Monday suspended its Grand Prix, the first race of the Formula One season and the country’s biggest international event.
In other Nymex trading in March contracts, heating oil rose 6.6 cents to $2.7789 a gallon and gasoline gained 5.87 cents to $2.61 a gallon. Natural gas futures advanced 5.6 cent to $3.932 per 1,000 cubic feet. Alex Kennedy in Singapore contributed to this report.

Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) prepare for their final duel in Warner Bros. ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,’ the last film in the Harry Potter series.
BY JAMIE CARBONE A&E EDITOR
Harry Potter fans all over the world will enter a state of mourning after the final film, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” will be released, ending the cherished character’s story. Magical duels will be fought, beloved characters will die, and tears will be shed as Harry embraces his destiny and faces dark wizard Voldemort to decide the fate of the world. Knowing it was coming and even having read the book on which the film was based, fans are still anxious for the final movie to come out. “I am going to be incredibly sad to see it go,” said senior biol-
ogy major Rebecca Sandmeier. Sandmeier said she was first introduced to the books when she received one as a Christmas gift as a kid and has been a fan ever since. “It was just really exciting to read about this magical world where so many things could happen,” Sandmeier said. Also, talking about how the books had a profound effect on her imagination growing up. “It may sound a bit cliche, but after reading the books so much and getting caught up in such an expansive and magical world, the characters almost seemed like friends,” she said While she plans on seeing the film with her wand in hand, Sandmeier is sad to see the end come.
“I’ll be honest, I’m probably going to be crying my eyes out for quite a bit. It feels like the end, it’s horrible. Granted, there is always Pottermore, which comes out later this year and the Harry Potter theme park,” Sandmeier said, referring to J.K. Rowling’s new website project announced earlier this year, as well the Wizarding World of Harry Potter located at Universal Studios’ Island of Adventure. Other fans, such as senior creative writing major Matthew Burns, don’t see the last film as an end at all. “People will be discussing it until the end of time, and there’s always fan fiction. I’m also certain that Rowling won’t be able to leave the universe lie,” Burns said.
Burns was also a child when the first books were released, and, because of Rowling’s use of characterization, has become a lifelong fan, especially of the titular character. “(Harry) changed the most of any character, but he managed to remain heroic. At the same time, he was never perfect, either, in a fight or in his personal relationships.” Burns said, comparing him to comic book hero Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man. While both Sandmeier and Burns have had problems with some of the elements of the Harry Potter films that have come out over the years, both plan on seeing the final installment at midnight, and the films have traits they have come to
love. “I really approve of Alan Rickman for Severus Snape. I think it’s one of the only casting decisions I’ve never complained about. He does really well at it, and I’m glad he didn’t mess up one of my favorite characters.” Sandmeier said. Burns, however, went a more lighthearted route, saying that he loves the twins Fred and George Weasley and added that the body language used by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione allowed for the characters to say so much with so little. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” will come out this Friday and allow fans to see the fates of the characters they
have known for years. For those who aren’t yet ready to let go, J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore website, located at www. pottermore.com, will be available to a select few on July 31, Harry’s birthday, with the website opening for everyone else on October 1. Although this is the end of the Harry Potter series, Rowling has shown in the past that she is willing to return to the wizarding world with her online-published Harry Potter prequel, as well as “The Tales of Beedle the Bard,” both published after “Deathly Hallows” was released. Whether or not this is the last time we see these characters, only time will tell. jamie.carbone@mail.wvu.edu
W. Va. Public Theatre ‘Chicago’ shows the windy city can be hot, hot, hot A&E WRITER
West Virginia Public Theatre continued its off-Broadway summer season with the hit “Chicago” at the Metropolitan Theater last week. “Chicago” is set in the windy city during the Roaring ‘20s.
Its star, Roxie Hart, lands herself in prison after slaughtering her lover. However, in Chicago, where “crime is a form of entertainment,” Roxie’s fame skyrockets after she employs smooth-talking lawyer, Billy Flynn. Along the way, she meets fellow cellmates, Matron
“Mamma” Morton and the famous Velma Kelly, from whom she steals the spotlight. “Chicago” was a captivating production. The musical was directed by Michael Licata, a WVPT veteran who is celebrating his 12th season directing for West Virginia Public Theatre.
The show was choreographed by Chris Saunders, the same person who also choreographed “Cats.” The intricate lounge-style dance numbers were the life of the show, and the lively yet subtly sinister jazz music created a delightfully sleazy tone for the cut-throat stage life of

the Roaring ‘20s. The performers were extremely talented. The two female leads, Maggie Politi (Roxie Hart) and Brandi Wooten (Velma Kelly), stole the show with their fancy footwork and soaring jazz arias. There was a nice balance of personalities on the stage. Philip Peterson (Billy Flynn) had the charm and wit a slick lawyer deserves, while David S. Scott, who played Roxie Hart’s forlorn husband, brought heart and sullen comedic grace to the part. Also worth mentioning is Whitney E. Hayes (“Mamma”) who belted an amazing solo during the first act that blew the audience away. Overall, “Chicago” literally brought everything to the stage

It’s all in the hips: hula hooping burns calories By MEG JONES
Contriuting Writer mpjones@smu.edu
Goodbye yoga mat, hello hula hoop. The bright, sparkly toy ring that once swung around the waists of children in their backyards has gotten wider and heavier and now swings around the hips of fitness enthusiasts around the country. The hula hoop, which established itself as a staple in American households in the 1950s, is making a comeback today in the fitness world. Hula hoop classes are popping up all across the country in cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. “Dallas has been slower than other cities to pick up hula hooping as a form of exercise,” Jen Rose, director of hooping center Hip Hazel Hoops on South Lamar Street in Dallas, said. “When I was younger I was the champion hula hooper at my country club, and now I am working hula hoops into my exercise routine,” said SMU junior Mari Schoder. Hula hooping parallels other emerging workout routines, including belly dancing and zumba dancing. Hula hoops are also being rediscovered not only as exercise devices but also as meditation tools and dancing partners.

intermediate and advanced hooping classes and a free hoop group once a month. Instructors Rose and Lawrence focus on hooping around the waist, arms and chest in a full body workout that they say calms the mind and increases coordination, balance and flexibility.
“It’s that ‘aha! moment’ when you have been working on a hooping skill and realize you’ve been working out for 30 minutes straight,” Lawrence said. Hula-hooping burns an average of seven calories per minute for a total of about 210 calories during a 30-minute hooping workout,

according to a study sponsored by the American Council on Exercise. This calorie count falls within ACE’s accepted guidelines for exercise that can contribute to weight management. “Hooping compares pretty favorably with most other group classes in terms of heart rate and calorie burn. In fact, exercisers can expect similar results from hooping as they’d get from boot-camp classes, step aerobics and cardio-kickboxing— all of which meet fitness criteria for improving cardiovascular fitness,” Dr. John Porcari, program director of the clinical exercise philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, said in the study. Hula hoops date back to the ancient times. Greeks used hooping as a form of exercise, Eskimos used hula hoops to practice hunting skills, and, for Lakota Indians, hoop dancing became a sophisticated art form. Hip Hazel Hoops is located at South Side loft 110, 1409 S. Lamar St. Beginning hula hoop classes include three one-hour sessions for a fee of $55 and a discounted $30 hand made hula hoop.

FROM THE EDITOR The Daily Illini strives to cover the University of Illinois campus and the surrounding community of Champaign-Urbana year-round. It is with that mindset that we bring you our summer edition — a trimmed down version of the regular edition we publish throughout the school year, but with the same quality content. We’ll publish a regular news and sport sections two days a week, Monday and Wednesday, until June 6. Starting June 16, we’ll publish Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Opinions pages will appear on Wednesdays throughout the summer. Even though there might not be as many students around during this time of the year, we’re always looking for events and opportunities for coverage, whether it be new information about your favorite Illini sports teams, upcoming festivals and events in Champaign-Urbana, or noteworthy announcements coming directly from the administration. Feel free to send us your news tips and information to news@dailyillini.com. We’ll always be reading. — Jill Disis, editor in chief

Illini-Alert sent out about robbery at University Avenue business At approximately 3:21 p.m. on Friday, an individual entered Advance America, located at 505 East University Avenue, and pointed a handgun at an employee, according to a release from University Chief of Police Barbara O’Connor. The offender took an undisclosed amount of money from the store and fled southbound on foot into the campus district. The offender, described as a black male approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, was clean-shaven with short hair and wearing a black cap, sunglasses with gold trim, a black shirt with an unknown graphic, unknown-colored jeans and a backpack. An Illini-Alert message was sent out because the suspect was reportedly armed and fled toward campus, said University police Lieutenant Tony Brown. The suspect has not been apprehended, but based on the initial investigation, it is believed the offender eventually ran west from the area, entered a vehicle and left the campus district. Any person with information about the armed robbery should call the Champaign Police Department at 217-384-2320 or the University of Illinois Police Department at 217-333-1216.

Ivy League football put rules into effect this season to try to limit concussions in its student athletes. Despite the restrictions on full-contact practices, coach Al Bagnoli said he hasn’t noticed much difference.
Bagnoli: no drastic changes under new Ivy practice rules Football | Limits on full-contact days haven’t affected preseason, coach says BY JEnNifer SCUTERI Senior Staff Writer Regardless of whether it is the preseason or the regular season, Penn football continues to make strides toward concussion prevention. In an effort to reduce the number of concussive hits in the Ancient Eight, the League announced this summer that it would limit its football teams to two full-contact practices a week. This measure, which calls for three less full-contact sessions than permitted by the NCAA, was laid out in a 21-page report accepted by Ivy presidents on July 20. “I think in the first year we initiated, I’m not sure we’re going to see any real tangible differences,” Penn coach Al
Bagnoli said. “But if you’re a freshman, and you carry it through for your career, it gets to be significant.” Bagnoli has made three changes to the Quakers’ 29-day preseason regiment in order to adhere to this new regulation. First, Bagnoli and his staff eliminated full contact in two consecutive practices, altering the Quakers’ two-a-day practice schedule to five total. “If we had a doubles day, we’d pick one of the two, usually the morning, that would be full equipment contact,” he said. The afternoon practice would then have no live contact. Additionally, the Red and the Blue shifted its Thursday routine to include a mandatory shoulder-pads only workout — eliminating yet another day of full contact from the schedule. Finally, Bagnoli and staff have taken every fourth practice day out of 12 and mandated helmets and shorts
practice as opposed to pads and helmets. “We’ve done those three things with the intent of trying to reduce the wear and tear, the gradual hits that seem innocent but overtime accumulate and cause some issues,” Bagnoli said. In addition to changing preseason practice schedules around the league, the new rule also mandates time dedicated to concussion education, which came in the form of an educational video from the NCAA. “That was a video that talked about the signs of concussions,” Bagnoli said. “That was done in the first two days of meetings along with the trainers.” While Penn football’s regular season is largely unaffected in 2011, the hope is that this change will have a positive impact over time. “It’s not going to happen in short-term,” Bagnoli said. “It’s got to be over an extended period of time.”

BREW continues from PAGE 12 which he spent years renovating — burned down, he decided to join his long-distance girlfriend of three years in Austin and bring his favorite sport to the South. He found The Scoot Inn to have the right atmosphere and space to support the presence of two large, vintage SkeeBall machines: one from New Jersey, the other from Coney Island. “For some people, it’s a social event: drinking, screaming at each other and just having a great time,” Cooper says, projecting an enthusiasm for the league as he shuffles his feet and moves his hands animatedly. “But if you like any kind of sport, you get really involved with the stats.” Two years after forming the division, Austinites love Cooper, he loves the rollers and they all love Brewskee-Ball. He’s seen best friends made through teamwork and couples on the same team break up but keep playing for love of the game (albeit, with a request for separate nights). He organizes the games, creates collectible cards of the top 30 players of the “skeeson,” as they call their seasons, schedules a photo shoot for all competing teams and gives advice to new players. Roy Hinojosa was one of the first rollers to listen to this advice and has played in every Austin skeeson since the beginning. “When we first started playing, I wasn’t really good. I barely made the [Best Roller of the Year tournament] the first time around. But she was really good right off the bat,” Hinojosa said, pointing to a picture on the wall of his teammate and girlfriend, Rachel “Luke” Skewis. She is holding a trophy and has two death stars below her, one for each tournament she won. Hinojosa lived in the shadow of his girlfriend at first, but eventually invested in a skeeball machine and practiced at home. Despite not being into sports, he said his competitive nature and obsession with stats drove his passion. Now, Hinojosa is known from New York to San Francisco as Brewbacca, star roller of Luke Skeewalker and one of the

league’s best players. A gamwe of Brewskee-Ball closely mirrors the structure of bowling with a few exceptions: rollers get nine balls per frame, a zero is dropped from each hole’s points (e.g., rolling a 50 is written down as five points), and players must not touch the lane or have their body in front of the lane. Special names are given to certain series of rolls, such as all 50s is called a “high five.” Only eight rollers have gotten one in six years of the sport. “If you try to get all 50s, you’ll see
how hard it can be. ‘Hundos’ [more than 100 points on a frame] are noted on the website,” Hinojosa said after rolling a “full circle,” or all nine balls in the 40 hole. Hinojosa said he doesn’t feel the need to practice much anymore. This month marks the start of Austin’s 7th skeeson. The first two weeks of the eight-week skeeson are finished, but it’s not too late for new players to join. Rollers compete for a cumulative score in a skeeson, and Cooper is willing to give latecomers

DAVID MUÑOZ / For the Daily Titan Chimpanzees at the Los Angeles Zoo are there to teach children about our primate ancestors. Life expectancy in the Los Angeles Zoo is higher in captivity by 15 to 20 years, longer than if they lived in the wild of Africa.
Studying primate behavior at CSUF Chimpanzees share more than 98 percent of DNA with humans DAVID MUÑOZ and are more closely related to us For the Daily Titan than they are to gorillas. Conservation of chimpanzees is a battle with many factors that need to be addressed, a topic that Cal State Fullerton’s “Primate Behavior” class is studying. Chimpanzees are currently classified as endangered and run the risk of becoming totally extinct. There are several problems that threaten the existence of the species. The Los Angeles Zoo is currently home to 14 chimpanzees that live in an exhibit that recreates their natural habitat. Ages of the chimps at the LA Zoo range from 8 to 43 years old. Life expectancy is higher in captiv-
ity by 15 to 20 years than in the wild. The purpose of the exhibit is to expose children to our primate ancestors. Chimpanzees are just as social as humans and have many of the same characteristics as we do. They have hairless ears and faces and their skin is dark in color and is covered with long black hair that grays with age. A male can stand up to 5 feet tall and can weigh up to 150 pounds, and females are slightly smaller. Also like humans, chimps have an opposable thumb that allows them to grasp and use tools much like we do. Although chimpanzees are able to stand upright for a short amount of time, they rest their body weight on their knuckles. Conservation remains the key to preserving chimpanzee habitats and populations throughout Africa. “We see these chimpanzees as ambassadors for their species as they represent their species in the wild. If we don’t do something to save them, there will not be any chimps in the wild for our grandchildren to observe,” said Candice Sclimenti, an LA Zoo senior animal keeper. “We need to educate young children about chimpanzees and develop a bond between them that will grow into their adulthood.” When you direct the conservation with children, you are able to accomplish two important factors: Recruit the youth and they will in turn communicate the message to

Morongo: A local casino KACIE YOSHIDA Daily Titan
Casino Morongo shines like a silver bullet in the hot sun. Its reflective windows are the only signs of life as the tall structure stands alone in the middle of the dry desert. While cars pass by the structure all day long en route to other vacation destinations, many motorists fail to creep into its looming aura. However, behind its mysterious outer walls, Casino Morongo is an air-conditioned haven. Its sharply dressed and thoroughly trained dealers bring a sense of importance to an otherwise mundane day. Occupied with bright lights, slot machines, card tables, a large buffet, nightly events and the occasional chain smoker, Casino Morongo is Las Vegas in a nutshell. Just a few hours from campus, Casino Morongo sits directly off the 10 Freeway in Cabazon. Located a few blocks from the Cabazon Outlet mall, it’s a perfect destination for college students who want to plan a day trip without paying an outrageous amount of money in the process. With blackjack tables starting with $10 bets and penny slots galore, anyone with a day job can afford the inexpensive trip. And with gas quickly approaching an all-time high, the short trip can save loads of money in the long run while relieving the stress
of finals and, for some, graduation. Despite its affordability and location, Casino Morongo has its faults. As mere leeches to the naturally energetic building, intensely addicted gamblers send foreboding feelings to youngsters wishing to have fun. “Feeling it out” on the blackjack table is grinned upon while playing by the book is the only way to please locals. Contrary to the fun that Vegas promotes with free drinks and cigarettes, California state law forbids complementary alcoholic beverages, leaving the casino a stiff and sober gambling fest. For those under the legal gambling age at Casino Morongo, which is 18 years old, one of the best outlet malls in Southern California is located within walking distance. And while the dry summer heat might deter day trippers from venturing out of the air-conditioned casino, Cabazon is known for having an assortment of great stores

ranging from Nike, Adidas and Vans to expensive luxury outlets like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Coach. After winning a few bucks at the tables, making the easy trip to the discount stores only seems natural, but beware of some deceiving outlets. Some stores like Zumies and PacSun showcase the normal retail prices. True outlet stores like Maidenform, Rip Curl and Reebok offer the best deals at extraordinary prices. Nearly anything can be found at the Cabazon Outlets for a decent price. Hugo Boss offers high-quality suits at unbeatable prices while Zales blows out diamonds at costume jewelry prices. When visiting Casino Morongo and the Cabazon Outlets this year, remember to come equipped with some pocket cash to gamble with and sunblock to fend off unwanted sunburns.

their parents and community. “Chimpanzees have a multiple of core problems that have really caused a large number of them being killed and exterminated in the wild. The real issues are logging, pet trade, bushmeat, disease and of course, medical research. About 20 years ago there were approximately 1 million chimpanzees scattered throughout Africa, but currently there are 100,000 to 200,000 chimpanzees,” said Norman Rosen, a CSUF professor and primatologist. There are laws in place to protect chimpanzees, but governments must have the resources to enforce these laws in all areas. African governments must work with non-government organizations (NGOs) to provide protection of this endangered species in the wild. The fate of chimpanzees is uncertain, but we can still prevent their demise with cooperative conservation. “If we don’t stop these losses, they will go extinct. The focus for conservation today must be simple; the habitat countries that have wild chimps must get the governments to decide that they must save the habitat. They need people to patrol a lot of these areas. The laws are there, therefore they must enforce them and if we do that we can save the chimps,” Rosen said. “Conservation of chimps should be important to us humans since they are so closely related to us,” said Diego Zarate, a CSUF student. With time running out, humans must continue to conserve chimpanzees and their habitat in order to keep them from going extinct for future generations to observe in the wild. Humans are the worst enemy to chimps and if we destroy them, we will destroy a part of ourselves. For additional information, visit LaZoo.org

Amid scandal, revered PSU coach ‘JoePa’ dies
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Happy Valley was perfect for Joe Paterno, a place where “JoePa” knew best, where he not only won more football games than any other major college coach, but won them the right way: with integrity and sportsmanship. A place pionships second. Behind it all, however, was an ugly secret that ran counter to everything the revered coach stood for.
Penn State for almost half a century, but scarred forever by the child sex abuse scandal that brought his career to a stunning end, died Sunday at age 85. His death came just over two months after his son Scott announced on Nov. 18 that his father had been diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer. The cancer was found during a followup visit for a bronchial illness. A few weeks later, Paterno broke his pelvis after a fall but did not need surgery. Paterno had been in the hospital since Jan. 13 for observation
games and took the Nittany Lions to 37 bowl games and two national championships. More than 250 of the players he coached went on to the NFL. “He will go down as the greatest football coach in the history of the game,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said after his former team, the Florida Gators, beat Penn State 37-24 in the 2011 Outback Bowl. Paterno roamed the sidelines for 46 seasons, his thick-rimmed glasses, windbreaker and jet-black sneakers as familiar as the Nittany Lions’ blue and white uniforms. He won 409 games and two national championships. The reputation he built looked even more impressive because he insisted on keeping graduation rates high while maintaining on-

Not long before that, he conducted his only interview since losing his job, with The Washington Post. Paterno was described as frail then, speaking mostly in a whisper and wearing a wig. The second half of the twoday interview was conducted at his bedside. His family released a statement Sunday morning to announce his death: “His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never “He died as he lived,” the statement said. “He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them.

But outrage built quickly when the state’s top cop said the obligation to go to the authorities when a graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, told Paterno he saw Sandusky with a young boy in the showers of the football complex in 2002. At a preliminary hearing for attacking the child with his hands around the boy’s waist but said he wasn’t 100 percent sure it was intercourse. McQueary described Paterno as shocked and saddened and said the coach told him he’d “done the right thing” by reporting the encounter. Paterno waited a day before went to the police. “I didn’t know which way to go ... and rather than get in there and make a mistake,” Paterno said in the Post interview.

U.S. Thai Café peppers in some paradise Story and Photo by Ian Gassman igassman@mscd.edu Thai food is addictive — just like any other drug. Since my first bite, I’ve been hooked. Some days I even find myself wandering into a small restaurant called U.S. Thai Café, hoping to procure another forkful of pad thai or steaming hot curry. During my last visit, I tried to nonchalantly chat with the waitress, but my shaking hands and shifting eyes indicated I needed another fix. She quickly scribbled down my order and pushed a glass of water my way. I waited and prepared to fall once more into the mouth-watering void. Despite the fact that U.S. Thai Café thrives off of repeat customers, it isn’t a drug den. Located in Edgewater at 5228 W. 25th Ave., this restaurant is simply one of the best Thai spots in town. While there are numerous reviews to support that claim, the hardworking chef, Aung Kyaw, proves it every day. Born in Myanmar and raised in Thailand, Kyaw has spent plenty of time around Thai cuisine. Not only is he a master of balancing the components found in every traditional
dish, he also cooks with fresh, quality ingredients and brings textures to life. From the amount of spice to the crunch of a carrot, Kyaw has the entire spectrum covered. The chef ’s pad thai features succulent shrimp and small strips of chicken on a bed of rice noodles, complimented by an aromatic peanut sauce and a wedge of lime. However, no amount of earthy peanut sauce or tart citrus can extinguish the red chili flakes burning underneath the unassuming noodles. Not to be outdone, the paneng curry is flush with smoldering, complex flavors. The paneng’s gravy-like broth uses a subtle mixture of basil, peanut and sweet coconut milk to invite the senses inside. A few seconds later, it scolds them for not taking their shoes off with a scalding afterburn of appetizing heat. The best part is the broth makes the meat nice and tender. Admittedly, I’m a wimp when it comes to spicy foods. The curry made me sweat at a mere “mild plus” classification. Of course, anyone can choose how much heat they’d like by asking for a “mild” dash of spice all
the way up to a “hot” helping. Take heed, because “hot” translates to, “Please refill my water, for the love of God!” Though this fiery essence draws patrons deeper down the path of spice-addled addiction, at least it’s quick and inexpensive. Most of the curries are $8.15, the noodle plates run $7.95, and two crispy, Thai-style egg rolls are just $3.50. And because Kyaw is so efficient, almost all of the dishes come out in less than 15 minute Like the outdoor kitchens that populate the streets of Bangkok, U.S. Thai Café takes price into consideration and has an authentic and efficient chef on its side.

to fear threats, they have to fear violence, they have to fear thefts — these men are thrown together by necessity,” Bowles said. “It’s not a merry band of brothers.” W ith more than 40 years’ experience in theater and a master’s degree from the University of Minnesota, Bowles adds a thorough knowledge of classic works to Park Square Theatre’s adaptation alongside meaningful personal ties to Steinbeck’s stor y. Bowles was born and raised in the southwestern United States and uses his family as a frame of reference in playing Crooks. “I can see the types of people and situations that my parents and cer tainly my grandparents had to deal with,” Bowles said. Bowles’s parents’ and grandparents’ generation exuded a sur vival mentality synonymous with life for many during the Depression. The radically opposed characters in “Of Mice and Men” share desperation but also hold out slivers of hope, ultimately lost amid Steinbeck’s austerity. “That sense of the ‘American Dream’ has pretty much always been an illusion that’s been hung out there, but people don’t get it. That’s what Crooks says, ‘Everyone has a little piece of land in his head — not a goddamn one of ‘em gets it,’ ” Bowles said. Milton’s final act in the story represents the time’s chaotic fear. Actor Terr y Hempleman continues to explore the character’s internal myster y with his third performance as Milton. His troubling act concluding the play lies at the core of Steinbeck’s classic as he shoots Small in the back of the head as he regales him with another fantasy.
PHOTO COURTESY PARK SQUARE THEATRE Actors E. J. Subkoviak and Terry Hempleman play Lennie and George, respectively, in Park Square Theatre’s adaptation of “Of Mice and Men.”
“I recognize [‘Of Mice and Men’] as something from the world, but I don’t completely understand it and so I think that’s one of the hallmarks of a good play,” Hempleman said. “It’s a little bit inscrutable and it’s affecting.” The ultimate act forces
audience members to cope with Small’s loss, an attempt to reason Milton’s violent act. Love becomes the reason for such an extreme ending and this struggle to accept Milton’s realistic mindset opens discussion of a generation’s destitution. “They all have and strive
to protect a certain little dominion in which they have power, but they are all very vulnerable to lose that power,” Bowles said. “The parallels are a little distressing, actually, because some of this is a little too current and it shouldn’t be, but it is,” Cook said.

TASSER’S TAKE
Conference play opens the door for big upsets Donnie Tasser its billing as No. 10 either. The Gamecocks Staff Writer are 4-0, but with a sputtering offense — something we don’t see very often from a team coached by Steve Spurrier — it’s Conference play in college football truly not an impressive 4-0. SEC football is begins with a bang this week. There are ultra-competitive, and any team has a big games galore and — as they always realistic shot to win every weekend. Same do in college football — upsets are going to happen. According to my “Upset-OMeter,” these are the best bets for upsets that could screw up conference predictions very early. No. 16 South Florida @ Pittsburgh The Bulls — led by athletic quarterback B.J. Daniels — have looked terrific thus far this season, whereas Pitt has been inconsistent, underachieving and looking more lethargic than high-octane. But the Panthers traditionally play the Bulls tough — Pitt’s won the last three in the series — and Daniels has a history of making mistakes. If this is the game the Panthers finally decide to break out on offense and play well — or at all — in the fourth quarter, they just might be able to goes for this game. pull it off on national TV. No. 3 Alabama @ No. 12 Florida Auburn @ No. 10 South Carolina On paper, the No. 12 team beating the Without Cam Newton, this is obviously No. 3 team is considered an upset, but I not the same Auburn team that won the don’t know if this one should even count, National Championship last season, but especially since Florida is at home. Both South Carolina hasn’t exactly lived up to teams have been extremely impressive this
season and have almost identical playing styles — they run the ball effectively, stuff the opponent’s ground game and successfully get the ball to one of their team’s many talented athletes. And both teams have a ton of athletes. The real question will be whose ground game will prevail:
“
Without Cam Newton, this is obviously not the same Auburn team that won the National Championship last season.
”
Will the raw power of ’Bama’s Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy reign supreme, or will the one-two punch of pure speed from the Gators’ Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey triumph instead? These four players combined average a ridiculous 7.8 yards per carry. Pick your poison.
UCLA @ No. 6 Stanford Stanford — behind Heisman frontrunning quarterback and consensus No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck — has been nothing short of dominant on both sides of the ball. The Cardinals are averaging 46 points per game while giving up only 9, and their defense allows only 36 rushing yards per game. But that defense will also be without its best player, linebacker and pro-prospect Shayne Skov, who suffered a knee injury last week and is out for the rest of the year. UCLA, on the other hand, averages 214 yards per game on the ground, and is 2-2 on the year. This has the slight stench of an upset. No. 17 Texas @ Iowa State Texas travels to Ames, Iowa, to face a Cyclones team with a matching 3-0 record. The Longhorns have something to prove after Iowa beat them last year in Austin — a loss head coach Mack Brown called one of the worst in his career. But I’m not sold on the Longhorns’ threeheaded monster at quarterback, and Iowa has played good football this season. The Cyclones need to make a strong plea to other conferences sniffing around the Big 12’s leftovers, and beating conference big-dog Texas would be a good way to do it.

halls. All other students not living on campus and faculty who would like take-out will need to purchase one for $5 at Dora’s. To get take-out, students and faculty will need to return their rinsed Eco-takeout containers and exchange them for a sanitized container. Audrey Copeland, former sustainable products manager at Aramark, Wesleyan’s dining services provider, created the Ecotakeouts while a student at Eckerd College. Copeland encouraged other schools across the country, such as Baylor University, University of Florida, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and University of Texas at Arlington to support their efforts and go green. Elizabeth Cheong, director of dining services at the UTA, said they have already began to use the Eco-takeouts, and the use of the containers has been successful. The purchase of the Eco-takeouts was funded by a 4 percent increase in housing charges. Three hundred and fourteen have been ordered for residents, but Sharon Manson, residence life director, said she’ll have to order more for faculty, exchanges and extras. “Change is always met with resistance, but I think it will be a
good thing overall,” Manson said. Freshman business accounting major Elena Vannaman disagrees with the change. “I think it’s a great idea just to recycle,” Vannaman said. Cary Poole, dean of students, visited UTA to see the progress of the Eco-takeouts. “From what I’ve seen at UT Arlington, they’ve been very successful,” Poole said. Some students do not seem to have a problem with the change. “It’s a good way to go green,” Marissa Rangel, senior liberal studies major, said. “I think it’ll work.” Last fall, the Blue Plus Gold Equals Green committee began its recycling program in an effort to go green. Recycling bins for paper and aluminum cans are now available in most buildings on campus. William Timmerman, director of dining services, said the Wesleyan community is intent on making changes to help the world. “We need to be aware of our surroundings and where we can help,” Timmerman said. Micah Young, freshman psychology major, said. Wesleyan can really benefit from these changes. “The times are changing, either go with it or get left behind,” Young said.

Speakeasy will serenade Outland Ballroom Saturday By Lauren Healey The Standard
Get ready to rock your face off because Speakeasy is playing at the Outland Ballroom this Saturday night. The band consists of Shawn Eckels (guitar and vocals), Ryan Fannin (drums and vocals), Reed Herron (bass and vocals) and Marcus Chatman (keys and vocals). Fannin said the band’s music is evolving. “It’s rock ‘n’ roll at the roots,” he said. “But we’ve been together for 13 years and if you went back and listened to it throughout that time none of it sounds the same. We’ve been at it so long that we don’t let ourselves get stuck on one idea or one concept.” Herron said he best describes Speakeasy’s music as high-energy, rhythm-oriented guitar rock heavily influenced by the blues, funk and soul. Eckels said their music is original rock ‘n’ roll. “We lean toward the ‘70s with vocal harmonies and the organ,” he said. “But we also get into stuff like Rage Against The Machine. We’ll squeeze in a couple cover songs each show, but we try to change up which covers we do.”
Fannin said you don’t have to be into any specific genre to enjoy a Speakeasy show. “If you like to see live music and people having a good time, then our show will be the place to be,” he said. “It’s a party every time we play. We’ve got slower songs we put on our albums, but we don’t play those live so much because we like to keep the vibe upbeat and fun.” Eckels said the band will be playing some brand new songs at the show on Saturday. “We’ve been writing a whole lot lately,” he said. “So we’re going to bump it up.” Eckels said Speakeasy shows get a wide variety of people in the audience. “There are some older people and some younger people and everyone in between,” he said. “We have some hardcore fans that have been there for years and we love them.” Eckels said there is a lot of rocking out and fist pumping during shows. “Everybody is in a really good mood,” he said. “The atmosphere is always upbeat and people are dancing a lot.” Herron said it seems that people particularly enjoy live music for a multitude of reasons. “Love of music being first and foremost,” he said. “But also to break up the monotony
of everyday life — to see their friends and to feel like they’re part of a community.” Chatman said the band members are entertainers above all and their focus is to put on a good show for everyone in attendance. “So if you come, you’re going to smile and you’re going to have a good time,” he said. Eckels said sometimes the Outland Ballroom doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic because it’s upstairs (from the Outland bar), but that shouldn’t stop people from checking out their show. “People who know about the show will know where the Ballroom is,” he said. “They have a new sound system since we’ve played there and it’s been a while. The Ballroom used to be all-ages but they had to stop doing that for a while. Well, it’s all-ages again, so I love that. And I love the guys that run the place.” Speakeasy began in 1998 as a three-piece band in a dark, (no longer) smoky bar known as the Outland. “Ryan Fannin (drummer), Tony Johnson, Courtesy of Speakeasy the original bass player, and I went to Kick- Speakeasy started in Springfield in 1998. apoo High School together and had a band,” The rock ‘n’ roll band is heavily influenced by blues, funk and soul music.

‘Deus Ex: Human Revolution’ emphasizes freedom, player choice

Now, imagine that same life, but you are 60 to 80 Video percent robot. I think I can speak for Game everyone when I say that the “Deus Reviewer Ex” series, published by Eidos Interactive, knows what we want out of a first-person role-playing game. In 2000, Ion Storm studios released “Deus Ex,” a revolutionary FPS RPG that is considered by time. In lieu of providing the charmany to be the greatest game of all acter with a series of scripted events
designed to promote a specific experience, the world of “DX” was a set of variables and options that are available to the player from the very start. This style of gameplay emphasizes freedom and player choice, while allowing for multiple branching narrative paths. To put this in perspective, around the same time that “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2,” “Diablo II” and “Perfect Dark” were coming out, a game that allowed an open-ended experience on par with the “Elder Scrolls” and
the “Fallout” series was released. That’s impressive, even though the graphics are absolutely atrocious by our current standards. Enter “Deus Ex: Human Revolution,” a prequel to the original game and the first game to be designed by Eidos Montreal. “DX: HR” brings classic “Deus Ex” gameplay conventions and trappings to the nextgen format in seemingly effortless and stunning ways. It also serves as a love letter to everything that makes our current generation of
gaming so satisfying. Honestly, as a hardcore gamer on both console and PC, everything is there. Like the “Metal Gear Solid” or the “Splinter Cell” series? Stealth is a major factor in “DX: HR,” allowing you to survive situations in-game with little to no equipment. Much like “Metal Gear Solid,” you can even play through the game without killing anyone (sans a few

New Girls album offers thought-provoking lyrics, retro surf-pop sound
What do you think of when considering the end of summer? The jovial sunny days grow shorter and the dark of the night pokes its head in on our lives a little earlier each day. I’d wager that Christopher Owens, front man, guitarist and principal songwriter for the Indie retro surf-pop band Girls, thinks about the goodbye between Danny and Sandy in the opening scene to “Grease” every year. In an interview with Exclaim! magazine, Owens revealed the details of his

Nick His under-exposure to popular Simpson music forced Owens to look to the past to voices like Elvis Presley, Music Buddy Holly and even Michael Reviewer Jackson. So when a 16-year-old Owens finally escaped the cult, which, to this day, is filled with rumor after staggering rumor, he made a path through the underground hardcore scenes of Amarillo, Texas tumultuous past, hav- that eventually led him to San
Francisco, bassist and producer Chet “JR” White and his true destiny. Their debut album, ironically titled “Album,” was a positive success for the duo in a number of ways. It was Owens’ first attempt at songwriting, and with simple but remarkably thought-provoking lyrics such as those found on the album’s closer “Darling.” (“Man I felt like I was goin’ nowhere till I found my way in the song that I’m singin’. Man I felt like I could lay down and die till I found
my life in this song.”) The song is a heavily Beach Boys-influenced production by White. What we received was a piece of music that felt very much like it should be found amongst a dozen records from the ‘50s in a dusty bin in a flea market. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2009, Owens explained the real intention behind the record. “We set out to make classic pop

n 1981, Linda Stevens enrolled in a stained glass class at Lansing Community College, a decision that would change the course of her life. Motivated by a desire to produce Victorian windows, Stevens began to learn the art of glass cutting. “I like Victorian windows, and I couldn’t afford to buy them. So I said, ‘OK, I’ll learn how to make them.’ And I learned how to do stained glass, and one thing led to another,” Stevens said. An opportunity arose for her to manage a new stained glass shop on Michigan Avenue, and soon she was in the stained glass cycle that drives her life. “About seven or eight years into it, I bought out their inventory, so it was my own shop,” Stevens said, “A few years later, I bought this building at the corner of Michigan (Avenue) and Foster (Avenue), and I’ve been
here for 16 years.” Now her own boss, Stevens wears many hats — artist, accountant and janitor to name a few. The work keeps her busy, but it also has raised doubts about her career choice. More than 30 years ago, she took courses in engineering and saw a classmate become hired by Oldsmobile, planting the seed of “what if” in Stevens head. “Somebody kept telling me,

Valerie Fraser woke up on New Year’s Day of 2007 with a slight swelling in one of her breasts. Right away, she knew something was wrong. Only 10 days later, her breasts were completely engulfed in what she and her doctor believed to be an infection. A few weeks after her first doctor’s appointment, she was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer — the most rare, aggressive form of the disease. “It was like a bomb was dropped on my life,” Fraser said. “Everything changed about my life, and my job became taking care of the disease.” But now, nearly four years later, Fraser, the current vice president of the Michigan Breast Cancer Coalition, or MIBCC, a breast cancer advocacy organization, stood in front of a crowded room to tell her story of survival. In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, more than 100 MSU students, faculty and community members gathered from 6-8 p.m. Thursday in Room 147 of the Communication Arts and Sciences Building to learn about environmental factors that might put women at risk for

Hosted by MSU’s College of Human Medicine and College of Communication Arts and Sciences in partnership with the MIBCC, the discussion forum was geared toward educating the public on environmental issues concerning breast cancer, said Fraser. “Breast cancer is the No. 1 cancer in women in Michigan,” she said. “This is such an important issue to address — there isn’t much out there about the environmental risk, so we need to bring attention to it.” In addition to the discussion, attendees had the opportunity to view “Living Downstream,” a documentary by ecologist, author and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber, highlighting research that suggests a link between chemical exposure and increased cancer rates. Physiology professor Sandra Haslam spoke of her research dealing with the environmental risks associated with breast cancer at the event. Focusing her research on prevention in the early stages of life, Haslam has concluded that unhealthy lifestyles, such as high fat diets and the con-
sumption of alcohol along with other environmental factors can lead to an increased risk of the disease. “It’s becoming clear there are stages when you are much more susceptible to environmental factors that can risk your chances of diagnosis in adulthood,” Haslam said. “These are all lifestyles choices that could be altered.” Kelly Knupfer, communication senior and president of Spartans Fighting Cancer, attended the event to learn more about research being done with breast cancer. “People need to know how to prevent breast cancer,” Knupfer said. “You can’t make a change unless you’re educated.” Although she has to take a medicinal treatment every three weeks for the rest of her life, Fraser said without her strong willingness to learn about the disease and seek appropriate physicians and treatment, she might not be alive today. “I empowered myself to become educated,” Fraser said. “You can’t be fearful or devastated when you hear the word ‘cancer.’ You just have to figure out a way to overcome it.”

THE STATE PRESS
9/11 and the Middle East BRITTANY MORRIS | THE STATE PRESS | September has a stigma. Summer ends, school begins. Labor Day brings with it tidings of a new season. Amongst all the hubbub of school supplies and stowing away our white apparel until next spring is the ominous anniversary of the events that took place on Sept. 11, 2001. Vivid memories pierce our cognitive catalogs, creating an internal reminder of the emotions that flooded us all on that day ten years ago. The ashes have been swept away, but our hearts are wounded, still. And yet, we are forced to accept, ten years has passed. Particularly, our incursion in Iraq and Afghanistan has marred the past decade, coveting our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends. We’ve tagged the Afghanistan War as the longest United States history has seen, and many argue that it was for naught. On that same note, non-existent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were an embarrassment that have played a large role in the Middle Eastern country’s current discord. Amongst all the efforts that Americans have led to rebuild following the destruction of 9/11 — Afghanistan and Iraq has done the same. The bombs have wreaked havoc much in the same way the violence has in the U.S., and their struggles are similar to our own. Although both of the countries are slowly recovering, they are also making immense movements in the right direction. Examples of this are seen in nonprofit organizations that have become a bea-
con of change amongst the backward thought and corruption that impair both Iraq’s and Afghanistan’s improvement. A prime example is Khaled Hosseini, an Afghani native and U.S. citizen. He is also the president and founder of the Khaled Hosseini Foundation. Following in the wake of the events in 2001, this organization

sought to help the men, women and children that were easily blindsided by the abrupt violence and change in their homelands. Specifically, they provide shelter to refugee families, education and health care opportunities for women and children, on top of scholarships for women hopeful to pursue higher education. Another example of colossal change can be seen in the end of one regime, and the beginning of another. Iraq is now immersed in Arab Spring, the democratic movement sweeping the Middle East, the dawn of a new era, after an icy and long-drawn winter. Following 9/11, Saddam Hussein became one of America’s first enemies; blaming him for the catastrophic event was easy.
Although we now know he wasn’t a direct culprit, the event inadvertently put Hussein amongst a category of people that needed to be removed from power, and rightfully so. Behind the destruction of oil fields and the invasion of Kuwait, Hussein singlehandedly kept weaker countries at his beck and call and also had Iraq clenched tightly in his grasp. The symbolic destruction of his statue in Firdos Square in 2003, and his execution in 2006, was a call for revolution to Iraqi citizens. At this point, the current administrations in both Afghanistan and Iraq are far from ideal. However, they are the epitome of precocious governance with the hopes of a functioning ease. Grassroots organizations can overthrow a seemingly impenetrable tyrant. Another bright sight in a bleak situation is the Obama administration’s current effort to withdraw troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. This will not only bring our troops home, but will allow both of the developing countries to thrive of their own accord. Improvements haven’t come as easily as we’d hope, certainly after the events that occurred, but both sides of the spectrum are making a clear effort. Rather than stigmatizing September, a seemingly downcast month, we can be resolute in knowing that despite what the media may say, and what preconceived notions lead us to assume, on an international scale, we’re all a force for change. And even with all the positive, outward change, we will never forget.
