already a photo on the card, said Leanne Weigel, dining services supervisor of the Park Student Union.

“It’s scary to think of all the ID theft these days,” Weigel said.

“We want to safeguard against it,” Lupita Lopez, a retail manager at Retail Dining Service, said students she has come across have not complained about the new policy, but thanked her for it.

“They say, ‘Thank you for asking,’” she said, because students are generally more concerned about credit card theft than they are about having to show ID. In addition, campus restaurant employees said the new policy isn’t significantly slowing them down.

James Romine, an employee at the Park Avenue Market and a junior studying physics and mathematics, said the anti-theft measure hasn’t slowed him down “at all.”

“People are pleased we are taking action to keep their identities safe,” he said. “I haven’t gotten any complaints.”

Rachel Tilly, a cashier at the Park Student Union, said the checkout pace “goes the same,” despite the fact that she is checking more IDs now.

“A few people are asking why they now check IDs,” she said.

“As a cashier before, I’m used to checking for ID, so it doesn’t make me uncomfortable.”

Johnson added that this is the “perfect time” to purchase a meal plan, because the student’s picture is already on the CatCard itself.

in agriculture in other countries in a fair and sustainable way. He said the idea is to buy land in other countries and send the food back to the main country. This helps stimulate the local economy where the food came from, and the economy of the country who buys the land and imports the food they grow.

Although investing in local agriculture may help reduce the poverty line, Al Rasheed said there are limitations to what can be done. Al Rasheed’s focus is to reduce the security gap, improve the standard of living, conserve natural resources, distribute wealth and promote economic growth.

But to do so, Al Rasheed said there are a few obstacles that need to be overcome such as improving water optimization programs, establishing crops, and improving the country’s infrastructure.

He said that, although his knowledge and experience were based in Saudi Arabia, the same concepts can be applied to the U.S. and many other countries.

One major issue that Al Rasheed stressed is the search for water. He said 72 percent of the world’s total water consumption goes to agricultural practices every year.

Water is a huge issue and continues to be so for many countries, Al Rasheed said. To optimize water usage it is necessary to reduce agricultural subsidies, meter ground water levels and raise public awareness of water conservation, he said.

MELANOMA

Center-North Campus.

“We’re at a point where we’re finally developing treatments for metastatic melanoma,” Cranmer said.

The treatments are not “mission accomplished” or “cures” for melanoma, but they “clearly alter the course of the disease,” he said.

Sedlmayr-Emerson said her metastasis had gotten smaller after four sessions from December to March. She then had

Courtney Martinez, a Mexican-American studies graduate student.

Women make up 51 percent of the American population, and yet only 17 percent serve in Congress, according to the film. It adds that over the course of American history, only 34 women have served as governors.

According to “Miss Representation,” media play a central role in keeping these numbers low by enforcing rigid, onedimensional gender norms.

“The gender norm is that men bury down their emotions and that women overly express them,” said Laura Neff, an environmental science junior and intern with the UA’s Women’s Resource Center.

“Or if women do tend to express emotion, it’s because of something biological; they’re not in their right mind.”

Hollywood and television, the film says, rarely feature women who are

FULBRIGHT

FROM PAGE 1

she said. “I think the students worked really hard to refine their applications and we have a process of faculty interviewing and mentoring to help students create the best possible application for students to submit.”

Frank Cernik, a recent UA graduate in English and creative writing, is one of the students who was awarded a Fulbright scholarship in the form of a grant. He is living in South Korea teaching English to children.

Cernik said he was inspired to apply for a Fulbright after becoming interested in Korean culture through its cinema.

“I applied in October, heard that I’d made the first cut in January, found out I’d gotten the grant in April, and left in July,” Cernik said. “This grant is a culmination of a lot of previously disparate things for me, and it’s changing the direction I thought my life was going.”

Cernik said receiving the Fulbright scholarship has provided him with the

stereotactic radiosurgery to target her tumors. She said she’s tumor-free, but not cancer-free.

“There’s a lot of hope right now in cancer, in melanoma treatment, therapy treatment … that didn’t exist five years ago,” Sedlmayr-Emerson said. “I have stage four cancer but I’m thriving.”

In the United States, there have been an estimated 8,790 melanoma deaths, according to the National Cancer Institute.

In addition, there are about 70,230 cases nationwide.

Arizona is no. 2 in the world after Australia for skin cancer incidence rates,

according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.

“It’s so important to catch it early because it will spread so quickly,” Hiscox said. “People don’t realize that melanoma takes lives.”

Hiscox said patients like that this walk benefits their disease specifically. Some patients have been battling with melanoma for years but still come to the event to show that there’s still hope and “it’s very inspiring, that’s for sure,” she said.

“It’s a great way to involve supporting melanoma awareness and those people that have been touched by melanoma,” Hiscox said.

strong, independent and powerful. Male politicians and newscasters, it adds, tend to belittle female public figures and focus on their appearance and sex appeal rather than their accomplishments.

American culture starts conditioning girls to perceive themselves as sex objects rather than leaders at a very young age, according to Caryl Flinn, head of the gender and women’s studies department.

“A lot of the things that are going on right now like the tiara toddlers and the baby Miss America things, I mean it’s kind of … it’s laughable and creepy at the same time,” she said.

According to the film, the media not only damage women; they damage men, too. Boys are bombarded by images of powerful, successful men who do not show emotion or weakness, “Miss Representation” says, and in turn, boys grow up “emotionally constipated” and afraid to show vulnerability.

By exposing the damaging effects of media on both men and women in

American society, “Miss Representation” hopes to change not only how Americans perceive media messages, but how they perceive themselves.

“I think by calling out some of these norms and saying these norms don’t have to be there, it doesn’t have to be like that, we can have other ways of producing images of femininities and women in mass media without resorting to the same old stale cliches,” Flinn said.

According to Jean Kilbourne, a filmmaker, author and activist who spoke after the film, addressing this issue starts with education.

“We need to teach media literacy in our schools,” she said. “We are the only nation in the world who doesn’t do that.”

Jose Martinez, who moved to Tucson recently from New Mexico, said he thought the documentary’s message was that the media wields too much power in America.

“I’ve had a lot of strong role models, and they’re women,” Martinez said. “I’m very proud of that.”

opportunity to be engaged in a place he wanted to go to and is now spending his time traveling around the country and educating others.

“Since being here (in Korea) I’ve gotten lost in a number of places, and there is absolutely no better way to get to know a place,” Cernik said. “Grab a bike, hop on a bus, stick out your thumb, whatever, just go somewhere you don’t expect and see what you can figure. And teaching is an excellent experience. I love all of my kids, and no matter what my night is like, I can always expect to walk into my class and smile again.”

Aubri Carman, a biology senior, is one of 55 students who are applying this year for a Fulbright scholarship. If she receives the award, Carman will travel to Zimbabwe to work with Grassroots Soccer, an organization that uses the sport to facilitate HIV education.

“I like traveling and I had heard you could pick where you wanted to go and draw up a proposal of what you wanted to do,” Carman said. “That was super exciting to me as a way to go to some

country that I really wanted to get to, I don’t anticipate ever having a chance to live in Africa again.”

Carman said if she receives the scholarship, she will defer her plans to go to medical school for a year while she is in Africa. The decision is one all winners of the scholarship had to make when planning what to do after gradation or with their graduate studies.

“Applying for the Fulbright scholarship has made me realize I want something more than then a clinical practice.”

Carman said. “I want an experience before I go to medical school and before I commit myself to at least eight more years of school and training.”

Though the application process for this year is coming to an end, Walter recommends students interested in the scholarship to begin planning now for the next year.

“Start thinking ahead to where you might like to go and what kind of project you might like to do.” Walter said. “And if you start thinking along those lines we can help with the parliamentary steps so you will be ready to apply next fall.”

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Playing the name game A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol near the Math building at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday when he noticed three people walking arm in arm on the sidewalk.

The woman in the middle was swaying side to side and a man and a woman were assisting her. The officer approached the group and noticed that the woman in the middle was slurring her speech. Her breath smelled strongly of alcohol. She told the officer she was 23 years old and was an Arizona resident, but not a UA student. The name and birthday she gave the officer did not turn up on any records. The woman then said “Sarah” is only a nickname and gave the officer a different name to check.

No record was found. The woman’s friends refused to give the woman’s name. When the officer told the woman she was under arrest, she admitted her real name and birthday. A records check revealed the woman was not yet 21 years old. She was arrested for minor in possession of alcohol and false reporting to a law enforcement officer. The woman was cited and released into the care of her friends.

Man trashes sign, gets cited A UAPD officer was driving north on Vine Avenue toward Fourth Street at 1:45 a.m. on Sunday when someone threw a temporary Parking and Transportation Services sign into the street. The sign hit the roadway and broke. There was only one person in the area, about 10 feet from the sign. The officer stopped and spoke to the man, who said he threw the sign out of frustration. The man explained he was frustrated and upset with multiple things, including his family, schoolwork and girls.

He told the officer he thought the sign was trash on the side of the road and said, “The garbage needed to be disposed of.” He said he didn’t mean for the sign to break or for it to go into the roadway. The man was cited and released for criminal damage.

Woman gets punch-drunk A UAPD officer went to Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall at 2:30 a.m. on Sunday in response to an extremely intoxicated woman. The woman was unresponsive and vomiting. Tucson Fire Department paramedics were evaluating the woman. The paramedics asked her if she drank alcohol and she said yes.

The officer tried to question the woman but she passed out.

The woman was transported to University Medical Center– University Campus.

The officer went to the medical center at 7 a.m. to follow up.

She said she had been at a large party at Sigma Chi fraternity house with her roommate and drank a few cups of punch she thought contained vodka. The woman said she didn’t think she drank too much and believed she had been “roofied.” She said she did not know how she made it back to her dorm or if her roommate had made it back. The woman was cited for minor in possession of alcohol.

The officer returned to the residence hall and spoke with the woman’s friends. One of the friends said she was surprised the woman had to be treated for extreme intoxication because she had seen her consume up to 15 shots at other parties and was still able to walk and talk. The friend said the woman had texted her around 1:45 a.m., so the group went back to the party to get her. They picked her up about a block from the fraternity house and brought her back to the dorm in a taxi. The friends told the officer they did not think the woman was drugged.

COURT CONTINUED FROM SPORTS

The 6-foot-1 Detroit native also stayed on the floor for 21 minutes after averaging 12.8 minutes per game in 2010-11.

“You’ve got to give credit to Keisha for knowing what her physical presence and her size can do for her,” Cowles said. “She has a level of quickness for her size that’s really unfamiliar with bigger post players like her, and give her credit for knowing that.”

Owens and Mosley had to lead WKU back from behind against a pesky Panther team.

KWC used an effective half court offense to stay with the Lady Toppers for much of the first half and led 31-29 just three minutes before halftime.

But WKU finished the half on an 8-0 run to take a 37-31 lead to the locker room.

The Panthers hit a threepointer to begin the second half, but the Lady Toppers followed with an 18-3 run that gave them a commanding

COLLEGE HEIGHTS HERALD 18-point lead.

Mosley scored six points during that stretch.

Cowles said she expects those kinds of performances from Mosley to be a theme this year.

“Keisha has matured and I think she’s more comfortable in knowing, ‘This is what my team needs out of me,’” Cowles said. “I think we’re going to see a lot of positive things coming on a consistent basis from Keisha Mosley this year.”

Owens and Mosley were joined in the WKU starting lineup Sunday by senior forward Teranie Thomas, senior guard Vanessa Obafemi and sophomore guard Chaney Means.

The Lady Toppers’ seven freshmen all also saw playing time, most notably forward Chasity Gooch and guard Alexis Govan.

Cowles said she thought the freshmen played “phenomenal” in their first time at Diddle Arena, but expected them to have to overcome the same jitters Saturday when

Senior forward Keisha Mosley drives to the basket for two of her 20 points in WKU’s 84-59 win over Kentucky Wesleyan. Mosley shot 9 of 12 from the field and was flanked by senior forward LaTeira Owens’ game-high 26 points.

“I think they did good,” he said. “A bunch of young guys, a lot of true freshmen. They did real good — played hard.

I think they all put in a good amount of work.”

Of the seven newcomers who played, six scored and totaled 50 of WKU’s 73 points.

Along with Gordon, Snipes and Price, Kahlil McDonald was the other Topper in double figures with 11 points.

something Ken McDoanld said he hopes to see the rest of the season.

“If everyone can contribute, I think everyone’s going to be happy,” he said.

“There’s different ways to contribute — some might be scoring, some might be rebounding, some might be a defensive presence.”

Sophomore forward Stephon Drane and junior guard Caden Dickerson both sat out Saturday.

Drane is still recovering from a hyper-extended knee, while Dickerson was nursing a sore shoulder that he hurt in practice last week.

Dickerson is expected back this week and ready for WKU’s season-opener against St. Joseph’s on Friday.

Until that game, Ken McDonald said there are a few things for the Toppers to work on.

“Our post defense needs to get significantly better,” he said. “I thought our perimeter defense was pretty good, but now we just can’t allow the ball in the post that easy.

“We’ve got to make a big jump in the next week and continue to work on that, but this is a good starting point.”

■ SPORTS BRIEFS WKU falls short on #wku22113 campaign

Athletics Director Ross Bjork wrote an open letter to WKU fans Oct. 31 encouraging them to sell out Smith Stadium’s 22,113-seat capacity.

Throughout the week, hashtags of #wku22113 accompanied tweets from Bjork, Taggart, players and other athletic department personnel.

But the announced crowd came out to 15,293 — well short of the Toppers’ sellout goal.

“It was disappointing, but not discouraging,” Associate Athletic Director Todd Stewart said of the crowd. “We’re certainly happy about the people that did come out. We certainly appreciate their loyalty and obviously for those that didn’t come out. We just have to keep engaging them.

“We had great fans that came out.

We’d just like to see more of them come out.”

WKU has averaged 15,285 fans through five games this season at Smith Stadium.

Swimmers prove mental toughness over weekend

The WKU swim team didn’t let the challenge of having meets on back-toback weekends get them down physically or mentally.

The men’s team (2-1) and women’s team (3-1) both added two wins to their résumé Friday after sweeping Atlantic Coast Conference schools Georgia Tech and Clemson.

Head Coach Bruce Marchionda said he never doubted his team would be ready physically. He said he was just concerned about the mental aspect.

However, Marchionda said his team proved their mental toughness.

“One of the main things I was very concerned about was could they emotionally get back up as well as they did the previous weekend against Kentucky,” Marchionda said. “They did a very nice job controlling that. We’re very young with a lot of freshmen and a lot of new faces, and so for them to handle something like that, I was extremely pleased.”

Marchionda said while he found out a lot about the potential of the freshman during the recruiting process, it’s still been exciting to see their mentality through each meet.

He also praised the leadership of his upperclassmen.

“The freshman class has been able to step in and have an immediate impact in what we’re trying to do here,” Marchionda said. “They’re excited about what’s going on. That’s a big part.

“Right now it’s just a really good blend of leadership from the upperclassmen and new blood from the freshmen that’s producing really good chemistry.”

Marchionda said that type of chemistry is what produces championships, which he said is the ultimate goal.

“Right now I think we have a chance to win the Sun Belt Conference championship the way we’re swimming now,” he said. “It’s early and we have a long way to go, but we will be competitive and we will challenge for that title.”

a thousand words

Established in 1838 from the slave membership of the First Baptist Church, State Street Baptist Church was the first formally organized church for African Americans in Bowling Green.

“The church has a rich history here in the community,” said Rev. Freddie Brown. Brown has been the church’s pastor for 20 years and is the 28th pastor since its infancy.

The church used to be surrounded completely by residential housing, but construction on the Medical Center and the Parks and Recreation buildings changed the landscape. Not as many people live by the church today.

“So they started attending churches closer by,” Brown said. “We are thankful we have been able to survive and make it and God has blessed us.

“The church means a great deal to the people who attend here. They feel a part of the church.

The church feels a part of them. We are in this together, and that’s the kind of attitude that we got.

“It’s like the members of the physical body.

good church and a great church.”

State Street Baptist currently has 325 active members and is seeking growth

spiritually, numerically, financially and morally, Brown said.

“To me, the church has really been a means of

hope and extending new life to people,” he said.

“We want to be a ray of hope to those in despair.

We hope that people will

always remember State Street as being a friendly church, a loving church, a kind church, and a church that really cares.”

One year later, Republicans seek to repeal health care legislation JAMES OLIPHANT mcclatchy newspapers WASHINGTON — Wednesday marked the anniversary of the health care law that its advocates said would change so much. In one very real sense, they were right. The political landscape one year later is radically altered, strewn with the fallen congressional careers of many of its supporters.

The emotional debate over the bill arguably gave rise to the “tea party” movement. Republicans now control the House and aren’t far from seizing the Senate. Potential candidates for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination need only say one word, “Obamacare,” to get a rise from a crowd. And the president himself has struggled at times to ensure that his first term isn’t defined by the legislation.

Public attitudes toward the law, however, have not shifted much at all. The Affordable Care Act remains almost as equally loathed and celebrated as it was 12 months ago, despite the best efforts of Democrats to praise it and Republicans to bury it. Even worse for both sides, a majority of Americans remain confused about what the law actually accomplishes.

This week, the trench warfare has heated up once again. Democrats point to the tangible gains the legislation has already delivered, from lifting caps on lifetime benefits to prohibiting discrimination based on pre-existing medical conditions to helping seniors pay for prescription drugs, while saying even more lies ahead as the law’s provisions go fully into effect in coming years.

Republicans continue to pin the law

to the sluggish economic recovery, dismissing Democratic arguments that the law won’t blow up the deficit, and maintaining that it has already hurt small business and lowered the quality of health care nationwide. In the meantime, the law’s most controversial aspect, its requirement that all Americans have health insurance, is under assault in the courts.

While public opinion has stayed relatively static on the act, there’s no doubt that the GOP still senses a political opportunity. For much of the last year, Democrats have sat on their heels on the issue; most incumbents ran as far away from the as possible during the congressional midterms. The ones that remain in Congress have witnessed Republicans vote to repeal the law in the House and muster a fair share of votes to do so in the Senate

— and the GOP says it’s committed to using the appropriations process to gut the law.

On the putative Republican presidential campaign trail, targeting the health care law remains a favorite sport.

Repeal is an article of faith among teapartiers and budget hawks. Candidates such as Tim Pawlenty are seeking to use the law’s persistent unpopularity to boost their profiles, while Mitt Romney’s prospects remain fogged because of his support of a similar law while he governed Massachusetts.

“If courts do not do so first, as president, I would support the immediate repeal of Obamacare and replace it with market-based health care reforms,” Pawlenty said in a statement Wednesday.

But according to polls, advocating a full-blown repeal also carries politi-

cal risk. According to a new survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation, fewer than 40 percent of Americans favor repeal, regardless of whether the Republicans replace it with an alternative. That suggests that while agitating against the law plays well to the GOP base, it risks alienating centrist voters who may be taking more of a waitand-see approach to the act.

Some in the Republican Party have recognized that certain provisions, such as ensuring that people — especially children — with pre-existing medical conditions can find health insurance, play well with the electorate and have suggested that a GOP plan would accomplish the same at less cost through the use of purchasing pools and other market-based reforms.

GOP leaders are still working up a replacement in the House. “We don’t

accept the status quo,” Rep. Tom Price of Georgia said on Wednesday. “There are a lot of things that need to be improved upon.”

Price said he saw little risk in repeal, saying his constituents are more ardent about doing away with the law than ever.

Republicans say they will continue to push the Democratic-controlled Senate on repeal efforts. Price said that with 23 Democrats in that chamber up for re-election next year — many of them from swing states — momentum may build next year for action, he said.

“We may get a critical mass at some point and actually be able to move something,” he said, adding that he expected the Supreme Court to declare part of the law unconstitutional next year regardless.

he she

SAID

She said: Grab the sunscreen ow that Tuesday’s over, I’m N hoping we can officially say the snow is gone. Clearly Blacksburg is

He said: When the sun comes out, so do the girls “S

un’s out, mammary glands out.”

With that noble proclamation, daytime festivities have begun on Roanoke Street. Months of gray skies, freezing nights and a distressing lack of cleavage are instantly forgotten as cans crack open and footballs are recklessly hurled near moving vehicles.

This is what we’ve been waiting for since football season, folks. April is here to shoo away winter doldrums, and not a moment too soon. Despite my best attempts at boosting morale with occasional successful humor columns, campus has been a bummer for weeks now. I don’t blame you. Long-term exposure to the Blacksburg elements is more effective at killing levity than a Jeff Dunham skit. It’s now a moot point thanks to the timely arrival of jorts weather. Assuming the bizarre spectacle of snow on a sunny day is past us, the season for outdoor frolicking has officially begun.

It’s been so long since our mountain climate treated us to sustained warmth that some may feel confused over how best to exploit this gift. There’s really no wrong way to go about it unless you’re lurking in a dark apartment like a cave troll. Still, months spent inside

watching Hulu and memorizing bus schedules can throw off anyone’s outdoor sensibilities.

It’s also understandable that some may be wary of fully committing to the spring mindset. Blacksburg weather has been a fickle mistress in past weeks, teasing us with occasional 70-degree weather before yanking the dollar away on a string. You could practically hear the mocking laugh of Nelson from “The Simpsons” as shorts and polos had to continually be put back into the closet.

No, Mother Nature’s credibility is not at an all-time high. It’s entirely possible that the glorious warmth projected for this weekend will be yet another cruel tease. A leap of faith into spring could very well end up like my friend’s misguided dive into a hotel pool this past weekend: face-first in the shallow end.

To ease your fears, however, I come to you with a message straight out of celebrity rehab: This time, it’s different. The Drillfield isn’t going back to its October to March uselessness. Girls won’t have to tragically shelve sundresses and shorts in favor of jeans. From here on out, the only people who will get burned from the weather of Blacksburg

are sunscreen-averse Irishmen. We’ve finally reached one of the two hospitable months of the academic year. This type of weather is exactly how the university fools incoming freshmen into thinking it’s the norm. Congratulations Class of 2014, you’ve made it through your first winter reality check. It’s time to celebrate by blaring Jimmy Buffett from a Ghettoblaster and removing as much clothing as legally — and tastefully for those with less stunning physiques — possible.

There will be no shortage of outdoor activities available this weekend. Even better, almost all of them involve the opportunity to politely enjoy the scantily clad scenery. Gentlemen, prepare your sunglasses accordingly.

Those looking to enjoy the festivities and pretend to care about nature are directed to the New River. It has something for everyone. Serious outdoorsman can canoe in its pristine waters, while less dedicated athletes cheer them on from cooler-strewn banks.

In fact, for a town my UVA friends assume is smack dab in the middle of nowhere, Blacksburg has an impressive variety of outdoor distractions. The Cascades and the Dragon’s Tooth hikes

are just a sample of the area’s natural wonders.

Don’t be offended if I’m doubtful that many of you will take advantage of these recreational opportunities, though. Let’s not kid ourselves; college students basking in spring weather aren’t likely to travel en masse to a national park. This is a weekend for yard golf, volleyball and table-topping friends in the front lawn.

Ahead of us is a fun, fun, fun, fun Friday through a lazy Sunday full of tanning and frequent trips to the local convenience store to restock the fuel supply. Besides, there will be plenty of time to explore the gorgeous landscape of southwestern Virginia. Assuming we have finally appeased the weather gods, this beautiful sun is here to stay. Get your mammary glands out — it’s time to get rowdy.

ANDREW REILLY -features staff writer -junior -communication major

having some issues. Having 80-degree weather followed by snow is unheard of.

While my roommate fears the bipolar weather is a sign of the theory about the world ending in 2012, I just presume that Mother Nature’s playing a joke on all of us. In fact, snow was the cruelest April Fool’s joke I’ve ever seen.

But are you even surprised at this point? A typical day of Blacksburg weather can include all four seasons.

It’s hard to tell whether you should bring your raincoat or wear your nice Uggs. The weather here will forever remain unpredictable.

I am not a winter weather kind of girl, so facing 80 degrees on Monday was one of the highlights of my semester. I wanted to lie outside and tan even though I had an 8 a.m. geology exam the next day to study for. So I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I threw on my swimsuit, grabbed my notebook and headed outside.

As I relaxed in the sun, I could not remember the last time I had seen such nice weather. I was not as fortunate as others who got to experience a tropical spring break, so I was ecstatic.

I had about an hour to enjoy the sun before I had to get ready for class. The warm weather put me in such a good mood that I wasn’t even complaining about my upcoming exam. I happily read through the chapters jotting down notes, as I bathed in the sun and felt sympathetic for each bitter passerby making her way to the bus stop.

When the end of my blissful hour approached, I was devastated. The forecast for the next day was calling for snow and rain. How could I leave such beautiful weather when it wasn’t going to last?

I mean, I was being productive and studying, right? Therefore, I made the executive decision that the most appropriate choice would be to skip my class and continue to prepare for my exam.

Going to class would clearly result in me losing focus for the exam.

I just needed to stay outside to study — it was only the studious thing to do.

Apparently I paid the price for skipping class when I turned into a lobster.

I was only outside for about two hours, but it was more than enough time to fry my pale body. It’s been so long that I guess my skin didn’t remember how to react to the sun. Word of advice — apply sunscreen. The color beet red looks good on nobody.

As I lay in bed writing this column, I’m covered in aloe. While it is hypocritical, I cannot deny that I have never been so happy to be sunburned. I know it’s foolish, but it means that warm weather has arrived.

Spring in Blacksburg brings a lot of excitement. There’s Relay for Life, Big Event and the spring game. Besides on-campus activities, students can venture out to the Cascades or the river and enjoy the beautiful Blacksburg atmosphere.

Downtown Blacksburg comes to life in the spring. Students, townspeople and families enjoy the sun as they eat out on restaurant patios, walk around the town and check out the farmer’s market.

If you haven’t tried the old woman’s strawberry banana jam from the market, do it. Tasting her jam is life-changing. And if you haven’t experienced the farmer’s market, check it out. Visiting the market is a great way to meet some of the townspeople while enjoying their fresh produce. It’s a nice change to see people that are not living in the same safety bubble we call college.

While Blacksburg weather in the fall is inexplicable, the spring weather provides students with a chance to enjoy the atmosphere with friends. With only four weeks left of school, final exams are right around the corner.

Take advantage of the time you have now and enjoy it.

Whether you’re an outdoorsy person or not, Blacksburg and its surrounding area can provide any student the opportunity to have a great spring day.

Check out what you’re missing before it’s too late.

What to expect in IU sports this fall

Offseason includes arrival of new coaches

MATT SMITH is a senior majoring in journalism.

Welcome home, Hoosier Nation. IU Athletics will soon be in full swing with the fall season. Here is a snapshot of the upcoming fall season.

FOOTBALL It finally begins: a season without Bill Lynch as coach.

Coach Kevin Wilson’s new attitude and “win today” mentality should be all the reason someone needs to trek over to Memorial Stadium for Big Ten football. This team will not be Pasadena-boun d, but a bowl game is within legitimate reach.

At games’ end, do not worry. Lynch will not be there saying, ‘We played hard, just came up short,’ as it seemed he did after every loss in past years.

CROSS COUNTRY (MEN & WOMEN) IU Coach Ron Helmer is a lot like Wilson: he demands success and is not pleased without a solid effort. The men finished second in the Big Ten Championship and had an overall solid season a year ago.

Former Big Ten Track Athlete of the Year, junior Andy Bayer, makes his return from injury and should lead IU to another successful year this season.

A solid group of experienced women look to lead the Hoosiers out of the middle of the pack in the Big Ten this season.

him to 12 games during his IU career. He could double that number this season.

Sophomore cornerback Greg Heban underwent a much different position change during his IU career. Initially a pitcher for the Hoosier baseball team, Heban’s talents became apparent to IU Baseball Coach Tracy Smith during a flag football game the team played.

Smith talked with both Heban and former IU Football Coach Bill Lynch, and Heban ended up playing safety. This season, Wilson and his staff re-evaluated Heban’s talent and moved

Summer and the true off-season for IU women’s basketball are approaching their final hours as the team prepares for a new year. The past few months provided the Hoosiers time to rest and recover before the hard work of a new season begins.

The dormant summer season didn’t keep the team from making headlines, however. Here are some summer highlights, followed by IU Coach Felisha Legette-Jack’s thoughts on them: May 19 – The team announced they will face Virginia in Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

“What another great opportunity to showcase the talent of the Big Ten Conference.

We are very excited to be a part of this challenge again.

“We will face a tough Virginia squad who played well at home last season, but hopefully we can repeat what we did last year on the road in our challenge game.”

May 31 – The team announced their participation in the Caribbean Classic Dec. 20 through 21.

“We are thrilled to be going to Cancun to play some unbelievable competition in Pittsburgh and Colorado State. Our young ladies play

Senior cornerback Lenyatta Kiles prepares for a drill during practice Tuesday at the IU practice football fields.

Fall brings defensive back changes

BY ALEX MCCARTHY alexmcca@indiana.edu

This year’s defensive lineup is returning to normal after a season when many players were forced out of their natural positions.

Injuries to senior safeties Jarrell Drane and Chris Adkins in 2010 forced senior Lenyatta Kiles and sophomore Lawrence Barnett to move to safety last season.

The healthy return of Drane and Adkins has allowed both Barnett and Kiles to return to cornerback.

“Naturally, I figured I would come back to corner anyway,” Kiles said. “It’s a comfortable fit. I’m able to make better plays at corner.

I feel like it’s just like riding a bike: getting back to where I’m comfortable.”

Drane and Adkins, good friends since coming to IU together in 2007, are making a return to playing form after years plagued by injury.

Adkins missed nine games of his junior season in 2010 after suffering an ankle injury in preseason camp.

He also injured his elbow during his sophomore season.

Knee and ankle injuries have prevented Drane from playing a full season since high school, and he said he is impatiently waiting for an opportunity to finally play a full season.

“Every year, I get real

close, and then something happens and I go back down,” Drane said. “I’m hungry. I’ve got a chip on my shoulder — more like a block on my shoulder. I’m ready to play.”

A scar on Drane’s forearm from a broken arm in high school marks the first of his major injuries. During the summer of his redshirt freshman season, he tore his left meniscus. In the last days of preseason camp during his redshirt sophomore campaign, he tore a ligament in his thumb while blocking a punt. A repeat tear of his right meniscus last season sidelined him yet again.

His injuries have limited

» STRUGGLE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I’ve got it,” she tells him.

He smiles up at her. All his former caution lost, he goes with her. In just a few minutes, he has the coveted book in his arms.

“What do you say?” his mother asks.

“Thank you,” the boy tells Firenze before dragging his mother away to the check-out machine.

Firenze chuckles.

“I love kids, and I love books. I love to read,” she says.

“I have a job that allows me to combine those things. I don’t know how it could get any better than this.”

Firenze has been working in MCPL’s children’s department for 39 years.

“There have been a lot of changes here over the years,” she says. “So much has happened.”

The building has doubled in size, computers were added and books on tape were introduced — followed by CDs, DVDs, eBooks and more.

Back at her desk, Firenze closes the browser and thinks back to the first time she used the web more than 15 years ago.

“Wow, that was so long ago,” she says.

The computers then were much more cumbersome than the monitors there are today. Firenze learned to use the computer to check in and check out books, as well as search for titles and authors.

She had to learn how to use a mouse.

“It was terrifying. It was a challenge,” she says. “Kids today have grown up with it, so they’re really comfortable using it. But for me, I remember it took a lot of concentration.”

That’s no longer a problem for her. She navigates through the different search engines with ease.

“It’s like second nature now. I can’t imagine not using it,” she says.

She had to learn how to use email and other forms of social media as well. Recently, she had to learn how to check out books using radio frequency identification.

“I’m always a little bit apprehensive whenever I have to

learn to use a new technology, but it usually doesn’t take very long for me to get used to it,” she says.

Nonetheless, she hopes things won’t change much more.

“I’m a paper person,” she says. “I love books, so I hope we don’t go too far away from that.”

She says she would be disappointed if books become obsolete.

“I like everything about a book. I like the smell and the texture of the paper. I can pick it up and read it wherever I am,” she says. “I’m planning on trying a Kindle soon, but I can’t picture myself choosing that and totally giving up books.”

Wolf feels the same way.

“With kids, they’re never going to get over books.

There’s something magical about picture books when parents and kids read them together,” he says. “When these kids grow up, they’re going to read picture books with their kids because that’s what their parents did, and that’s what they’re used to.”

He puts a large stack of DVDs on hold for a woman who will be coming by later to pick them up.

“Times have definitely changed. Fifty percent of the materials checked out of the library are audio-visual materials now,” he says.

In a world full of constant technological developments, Wolf says libraries must keep up.

“The biggest danger of a library is becoming irrelevant.

I’ve worked at libraries where nothing ever changes, and then when there’s a recession, it closes,” he says.

In order to prevent that from happening here, Wolf says the librarians always think of ways to remain appealing.

“We need to cater to people’s wants. We need to find a new niche that we’re good at,” he says. “Our mission here is to surprise and delight people. We want to defy their expectations.”

That means being ready for any sort of change.

“Remember when the DVDs first came out in the ’80s, and everyone thought

they were going to last forever and threw away all their records?” he asks Firenze.

“Oh yes. I remember that.

Everyone was so excited,” she says.

“The thing is, they get scratched really easily,” he says. “Soon, there’s going to be something new that takes the place of DVDs. Nothing lasts forever nowadays.”

Wolf is part of the Library Futures Committee, which anticipates future changes.

Projects under consideration include the establishment of a media lab, which Wolf says could become a place for teenagers to create web content.

By offering services like this, he says he believes the library and librarians will always remain pertinent.

“Besides, we offer a lot of programs that you can’t get anywhere else,” he says.

Lisa Champelli, children’s services coordinator, says she believes as much as he does in the importance of librarians.

“They’re irreplaceable.

Some people get the perception that volunteers can be librarians because they think all we do is put books back on the shelves, but we do so much more than that,” she says. “We have the background knowledge in all types of different books. We can match a child with the right book for them at the right age. We help these kids find information.” * * * Music flows from the program room. The lights are dimmed. Dozens of picture

books are set up on tables, and a cozy carpet is rolled out on the floor.

In the center of the room is Wolf. As children pile into the room, holding hands with their parents, he begins to juggle.

“I’m just goofing around here until we get started,” he tells them.

The kids shriek with laughter as Wolf drops a ball and bumps his head on a table on his way to retrieve it. He flashes them a sheepish grin.

“You think we should start?” he asks them.

“Yeah, start. Let’s start,” they shout, clapping their hands together.

Wolf tells the dozen kids gathered in the room that because it’s International Education Week, he will be reading them bedtime stories from various different countries.

He pulls out a giant globe and places his finger in the middle of the U.S. “This is where we are. Now, we’re going to take a little trip around the world,” he tells them. “Let’s go to India.”

He pulls out a picture book.

“Caps for Sale.”

As he flips through each page, using different voices for each character and waving his hands about, the kids lean against their parents and listen, their eyes fixed upon his face.

“This is why I love my job,” he says later. “We just try to find books that make kids happy. We try to find that moment when they forget they’re decoding words on a page and nothing else matters.”

extended to all the Occupy Wall Street people, and they could’ve camped anywhere on campus.”

In addition to the current Occupy movement factoring into the new policy, academics played a part. Encouraging students to forgo important classes and studies was not a measure they could endorse, Courtney said.

“Having students have to camp out all week, miss class time and potentially miss study time for their finals next week is not something that anybody within the University and most students would want to do,” Courtney said. “I thought it was pretty unfair that students would have to choose between sleeping and studying for finals or waiting in tents in the cold for the game on Saturday.”

Plus, a bunch of tired students would not create the atmosphere hoped for at Saturday’s game, Courtney said.

“Students will be able to be rested for the actual game, which is one thing the athletic department pointed out that I thought was a great point,” Courtney said. “If students are out there all week, they most likely are not going to feel that great and that spirited come game time.”

Courtney said all parties have looked into the policies by other schools, and the one in place for Saturday could become a permanent option.

For those without a voucher and seats in General Admission, lining up can begin at 7 a.m. on Saturday. However, students will not be allowed to remain in line until then.

It’s a situation that went from a dire display of fandom to a campus controversy and concluded with a new policy. But at the end of the day, Kingsolver said the situation is a win.

“In the grand scheme of things, yes, this is a problem,” Kingsolver said. “But this is probably the best problem we’ve had this year.”

MUSIC

The drugs won ALBUM: “Slave Ambient” ARTIST: The War on Drugs At face value, the shimmering electric guitars of shoegazers such as My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive couldn’t seem further from the wounded lyricism of Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska”and the early recordings of Bob Dylan, but The War on Drugs has successfully combined these disparate sounds within a fairly traditional rock ‘n’ roll framework to create one of the best albums of 2011.

Across 47 minutes of eramashing rock, the Philadelphia act tackles love and loss, life and death and acoustics and electronics with equal fervor. In a way that few records in this retro-obsessed indie climate do, “Slave Ambient” is heart-wrenchingly genuine. It turns to the past for musical reference points, but everything on the album comes from frontman Adam Granduciel’s soul — not the soul of a past life or some abstract, ancient rock ‘n’ roll soul that he uses The War on Drugs to channel.

By transcending his influences without ever disrespecting them, Granduciel has crafted an indie rock masterpiece with “Slave Ambient.”

In the past few years, the crust virus has been multiplying quickly, giving rise to an excellent new crop of acts that owe their debts equally to Poison Idea and Motörhead.

Bloodhorse and The Hope Conspiracy, is one such band, and “God Is War” is their pulverizing debut.

At only eight tight tracks of D-beat fury, “God Is War”is one of the most concise crust punk experiences of the past few years, and as a result, the intensity levels remain consistently high.

With so little time, though, the album is sometimes plagued by a lack of sonic variety.

Folk-pop nobility comes to America ALBUM: “The Duke and the King” STARRING: The Duke and the King The Duke and the King’s self-titled debut U.S. album is a lesson in how to make a catchy and, at times, poignant indie folk album without a wealth of originality.

The album’s 12 tracks all come from their previous two albums, which have gained popularity across Europe but are not available in the U.S. The group, fronted

by Simone Felice of the Felice Brothers, inspires comparisons to Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, Paul Simon and Neil Young. However, at times it’s nearly impossible to describe the band on its own and not in comparison to these other greats.

Although there are a few quotable lyrical gems sprinkled sparingly throughout the album, the true beauty comes from Felice’s soothing vocals and the warm country feel of the folk-pop melodies. All-in-all, The Duke and the King best serves as a certain type of low-key background music.

The Dude wouldn’t abide this ALBUM: “Jeff Bridges” ARTIST: Jeff Bridges After his Oscar-winning turn as hard-living singer Bad Blake in 2009’s “Crazy Heart,” the new release of country music

by Jeff Bridges, produced

by T-Bone Burnett, should come as no surprise.

Just as predictably, the resultant album — Bridges’ second full-length and first in 11 years — isn’t exactly essential. There tends to be something indulgent about a person who has conquered one field tackling another, and Bridges is no exception.

There are several truly excellent cuts of true-blue, ’70s-informed country (“What a Little Bit of Love Can Do,” “Slow Boat,” “The Quest”). But too often the record feels like a bonus disc to the “Crazy Heart” OST featuring its star singing the songs that didn’t quite make the cut.

Given that that’s how several of the songs on the album originated, it’s perhaps best to stick with the original excellent soundtrack. Jeff Bridges is a talented musician, but his second album doesn’t display that nearly as much as the two hours that earned him an Academy Award.

Dexter’s killer fifth season DVD: “Dexter: The Fifth Season” STARRING: Michael C. Hall, Julia Stiles The wait is almost over — on October 2, “Dexter” is back for its sixth season on Showtime. For some, the wait would have been unbearable without the season five DVD to alleviate the suspense.

WORST OF THE WEEK

‘One Day,’ one dimension Hathaway plays Emma too stiff and uptight, making the presence of tears and shouting appear melodramatic instead of justifiable.

Even the basic concept of a believable British accent challenged Hathaway, who seemed to switch between English, Scottish and American accents throughout the film.

Similarly, Sturgess fails to relate the absolute personal turmoil of Dexter, which makes his character a womanizing, egocentric slime ball.

Perhaps the only reason the audience wants to root for this couple is because, well, it’s Hollywood, and the audience has to cheer for someone, right?

Director Lone Scherfig, who also directed the 2009 hit “An Education,” contributed in this inability to fully understand the characters’ emotions, struggles and motives. Instead of being a glimpse into the relationship of Dex and Em, each year felt too short to dive past the surface.

The snippets placed importance on the events, rather than the people, and therefore the film felt anecdotal and disjointed rather than cohesive and whole. “One Day” felt more like a shallow piece than a timeless, romantic saga.

By Bridget Ameche

FILM: “One Day” STARRING: Jim Sturgess, Anne Hathaway Based on David Nicholls’ hit novel, “One Day” captures a single day, July 15, each year in the relationship of Dexter Mayhew (Jim Sturgess) and Emma Morley (Anne Hathaway).

Beginning the morning after their college graduation in 1988, the film chronicles the many ups and downs of Dex and Em’s relationship, including a revealing holiday to France, a sudden catapult to fame and its destructive consequences and the intrusion of outsiders into the relationship. Despite these disturbances, Dex and Em maintain a friendship and ask themselves and the audience, “Is there something more?”

The movie version of the popular novel fails to capture any poignancy and coherence necessary to the story. Hathaway and Sturgess make the relationship feel strained, struggling to sustain a genuine connection on-screen.

star role by John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer, Michael C. Hall and the rest of the cast return for a fast-paced fifth season.

This season is once again defined by the guest stars brought in, as Julia Stiles shines as a tortured young woman taken under Dexter’s wing while Jonny Lee Miller nails the creepiness of those super-famous inspirational speakers. All the while, Dexter is searching for a way to cope with Rita’s death, his involvement in it and how best to deal with her annoyingly angsty children.

The extras are pretty solid with interviews from all the major characters, but that seems to be the norm these days. The real treats are select episodes from “Californication,” “Episodes” and “The Borgias” and a trailer for “Homeland,” the newest Showtime original series.

New SRC sculpture meant to inspire living life to fullest

Jack Fox nearly gave up on a sculpture he was commissioned to design in memory of an Indiana State University student.

At first, the project attracted little interest from fabricators of the acrylic panels Fox envisioned for the piece. A small company in Dallas that

“The Fire Within” sculpture is a recent addition to the ISU Student Recreation Center. The sculpture is a memorial to Stephen Kennedy, an ISU student who died during a football game in 2000.

Indiana Statesman/Image courtsey of ISU communications and martketting

counts an artist among its owners ultimately agreed to do the work but then a key employee died.

“I almost threw in the towel,” Fox said.

But the 1993 Indiana State graduate couldn’t give up. After all, the sculpture is intended to inspire others to persevere, and so persevere Fox did.

Six months after the latest in a series of setbacks, and more than 18 months after Fox began work on the sculpture. “The Fire Within” hangs from the ceiling of the main entryway of ISU’s Student Recreation Center.

The sculpture [was] unveiled [on Friday] in honor of Stephen Kennedy of El Cajon, Calif., who came to Indiana State because of its internationally recognized athletic training program.

Kennedy collapsed while working as a volunteer trainer at a Sycamore football game in 2000, his sophomore year, and later died at an Indianapolis hospital.

It was the first game Kennedy worked as a

trainer, recalled Jeff Harper, a professor in Indiana State’s Scott College of Business who served as head coach of the club soccer team on which Kennedy participated.

“My son, Billy, was Stephen’s roommate and Stephen was a regular fixture in our house. He came by that afternoon and told my wife he’d been having bad headaches. She talked him into going to the emergency room where he waited and waited.

Worried about being late to the stadium, he walked out of the emergency room and went to the game,” Harper said.

It was Fox who came up with the concept for “The Fire Within,” after hearing Harper describe Kennedy’s love of life, outward personality and competitive desire.

“He had a real passion for whatever he did and he wanted to do it very well,” Harper said. “I think Jack captured that in the idea for the flame that burns inside of us this passion that we have to compete.”

With the artwork intended to reflect amateur athletics, the acrylic panels Fox designed symbolize both the Olympic flame and the torch from Indiana State’s seal.

“The torch handle is about 10 feet long and the flames are Sycamore leaves. The pieces appear to be floating together.

They’re not one solid form,” he said.

Dozens of small mirrors mounted inside the panels create the torch’s flame by reflecting the building’s existing halogen lights.

Those who knew Ken-

nedy agree “The Fire Within” is a fitting tribute to the memory of a passionate young man—a tribute that will also serve as inspiration to current and future students.

“The rec center really has changed the culture of campus and this just kind of puts a cap on the whole thing,” said [John Lentz, director of the SRC]. “The idea of the flames being made of sycamore leaves, that’s huge. This gives us a lot more school spirit, a lot more of the feel that this is Indiana State University and the energy that we’ve seen in this facility.”

Machtan said, as part of Van’s project, Van also talked to performers from Sycamore Sessions about their perceptions of the performances.

“One student said [Sycamore Sessions] was a big self-esteem booster for him,” Machtan said.

To increase the amount of audience participation during the performances, Dickens said the committee decided to include danceoff competitions.

Machtan said it worked.

“We didn’t know if people would come up and bust a move,” she said. “But they did.”

Machtan also said that

Thursday night’s performance—the last one for the semester—featured audience favorites: performers that performed at other Sycamore Sessions and had been well received by audiences.

Machtan said the committee is looking for “greater diversity” in the types of performers featured in the events, saying that “any kind of artistic expression” is wanted. “[The diversity] keeps people on their toes,” she said.

Van said that she wanted to find a comedian for next semester.

Andrew Law, a senior theater major and committee member, said he learned a lot about leadership during his time working on the performances.

For him, “seeing the talent that the committee got out of the students” was the best part.

Dickens said she felt she was spurred on by other performers, like Fall Owt, a dance group that also performed Thursday, saying that many people associate women with ballet and men with aggressive dances, a style more comparable to her own.

“I felt like I have to push through [Fall Owt],” she said.

But, ultimately, Dickens said watching the audience react positively was the best part.

>>MAHONEY.p1 a senior at the University of Iowa, claims Mahoney’s relationship with his mom was very unique and the bond between them was evident.

Clark grew up with Mahoney and spent time with Deb, even going on annual trips with them and hanging around their house.

“Deb had the famous ‘Mahoney positive attitude’ and whenever she and Grant were together, there was a lot of laughing,” Clark said. “She was very kind and caring and was a lot of fun to be around.”

When Mahoney was in fifth grade and just shy of 11 years old, his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time. Even though Mahoney was young, he remembers the day vividly.

“I remember she sat my brother and me down and just told us,” Mahoney said. “All I did was cry because I was little; I didn’t know what cancer was, I just thought people who got it automatically died. I really don’t remember a lot.

“I know she only had a couple rounds of chemotherapy, but I don’t remember going to the hospital that much. Even through all the treatments, she always told me she’d be fine and that it was all part of God’s plan for her and our fami-

>> PROTEST.p1 Manhattan in the middle of September, the movement has turned into an almost instantaneous, nationwide protest against the financial institutions that the protesters say have come to completely dominate the political process in the United States.

On Wednesday, the protesters in New York were energized when they saw their numbers swell to thousands as they received the support of the local unions. At the same time, several other protests sprung up across the country in cities like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and, most recently, Iowa.

However, none of these protests appear to have a single speaker or leader who can articulate the grievances of the protesters as a whole. But one thing is clear: The protesters are fed up with the amount of corporate money and influence that has infiltrated the political process in so many ways.

“A lot of the protests have to do with the dissatisfaction with amount of money in the political system,” said associ-

ly. My mom is the reason why I stay close to God. I believe in God’s work and I did so even more after my mom beat cancer the first time. My mom always reminded me about the power of prayer and that is something I carry with me today.”

Unfortunately, in 2004, Deb Mahoney was given news that the cancer had returned, but this time she was told the cancer had spread throughout her body.

For Mahoney, hearing the news a second time was devastating and something that he still finds hard to talk about.

“She told us that it had spread to her brain, her lungs and even her eyes,” Mahoney said. “I was older, so even though she told us she’d fight hard, I knew it was serious. I just remember crying; crying with her and crying with my brother.”

This time around, Mahoney was more involved with his mom’s treatments. He went to doctor’s appointments, chemo treatments and would ask his mom and her doctors questions throughout the process.

As Mahoney’s mom grew sicker, doctors allowed her to move back home and receive fulltime hospice care.

“Even though my parents were divorced and my brother and I spent time each week at both of their houses, I stayed with my mom the month

ate professor of political science David Peterson. “Their manifesto is a laundry list of progressive causes.”

This progressive identity appears to be consistent throughout the protests across the country as many of the protesters can be heard yelling, “We are the 99 percent,” in reference to their belief that the wealthiest Americans are not paying their fair share of taxes while wielding large amount of influence in the Washington.

“The protesters want to shine light on the growing inequality in the United States,” said Steffen Schmidt, university professor of political science. “The wealthy are doing very well ... and this is a reaction to normal politics not listening.”

More specifically, a continuous message the protesters have brought up is the overturning of the Citizens United case.

In 2010, the Supreme Court made a landmark decision in the case Citizens United v. The Federal Election Commission in which it held that the First Amendment protects corporate funding of independent

political broadcasts during election season. In other words, corporations and other groups are free to give unlimited amounts of money to advertising a political agenda, usually in attack ads against a certain candidate.

This drew much criticism because many argued that it allowed corporations to take over the campaign process and essentially drown out the concerns of the working and middle class.

This was exemplified during the 2010 midterm elections in which many freshman tea party Republicans, who tend to be friendly to corporations, were swept into office behind deafening corporate support.

With this, the protesters have not only set their sights on the Citizens United decision, but also the financial institutions that control much of the wealth in the country and fight so vigorously to keep every cent they earn.

“The protests go beyond Citizens United,” Peterson said. “A lot of it is focused toward Wall Street. And continued energy and momentum is key for it to continue.”

before she died. It was real hard to see her like that. She was weak and tired and needed help doing the simplest things. She was a warrior, though.

“I remember at night, I would lay with her. I’d have my head down on her chest and I’d just cry, but like usual, she was the one telling me it was going to be OK,” said Mahoney, tears forming in his eyes. “She would just always remind me that everything happens for a reason. She was a firm believer in fate and she would remind me that it was all part of God’s plan.”

The wake and funeral were both emotional for Mahoney and are events that he still finds difficult to talk about.

“The toughest thing was standing by the casket at the wake and seeing everyone who knew and loved my mom. The amount of support my family and I received was overwhelming and made the funeral more bearable,” Mahoney said.

Clark, like Mahoney, was 15 at the time and remembers the wake vividly.

“I remember watching a slideshow of Deb when we got there. I really lost it when I saw a picture of her, Grant and myself,” Clark said.

“Having my mom next to me while watching it made it even harder because I couldn’t imagine what Grant was going through. I kept thinking, The same analysis was given by Schmidt, who noted that despite their left and progressive character, the protesters have a lot of support throughout the United States.

“They are progressive and liberal,” Schmidt said, “but their positions actually have a lot of support among many Americans, ... and the unions jumping on board will provide lots of organization and money for the protests to continue.”

These protests may seem out of the immediate interests of many Iowans, but surprisingly the movement has already made an impact in Iowa.

On Wednesday night, more than a hundred people in Iowa City met as a “general assem-

what if it was my mom? It was one of the saddest things I have gone through and it was even harder watching my best friend go through it.”

It’s been almost seven years since Deb Mahoney’s death, but Mahoney still finds her absence overwhelming at times.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. The hardest part is not having that strong female figure in my life. I don’t have someone to talk to about relationships and other things that people talk about with their moms,” Mahoney said. “I have pictures and other things to keep her memory alive; one of my favorites is my tattoo. It’s a clover with the date she died written in the center. It’s only ink, but every time someone asks me about it, I get to tell them about her and how important she was and still is to me.”

Mahoney can see in himself the ways he’s like his mom and loves that he has the same perspective on life his mom had.

“I believe I’m a lot like my mom,” said Mahoney with a smile. “I try to live my life like she wanted me to. I try to see the good in every situation, and whenever things get tough, I tell myself to push through and keep on fighting, a lot like she did during her treatment.

“She was a wonderful person and I miss her each and every day.”

bly” in Public Square One and voted to occupy College Green Park on Friday starting at 6 p.m.

Additionally, many other protests are planned for this weekend in Des Moines, Dubuque, Fairfield, Mason City, Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids.

Many also have called for campus walkouts by students and professors in an effort to express solidarity with the protesters.

“They are protesting in cities all across the state,” Schmidt said. “Americans get organized when things are not going that well ... and there are a lot of frustrated liberals in Iowa.”

Greg Welk, director for clinical research and community outreach at the Nutrition and Wellness Research Center, and Mary Savage, community outreach coordinator, are both highly involved in the project . Both have also been working with faculty and staff at Iowa State University, several kinesiology and health classes and community members to promote the walk.

“The point [of the Start Somewhere Walk] is to get Welk everyone moving as a way to promote physical activity and health,” White said.

“Once people start exercising as a regular part of their lives, they will be more likely to keep it up. The event will draw attention to our need for regular physical activity and a reminder to plan for it every day,” White said.

“When students leave class on Friday, we ask that they join a route around campus,” Savage said.

“We have mapped out routes in West, East and Central Campus, along with a route at Vet Med and a South-loop and North-loop in the research park.

As there are many routes throughout campus, students should only need to walk a few steps before being able to join a planned route.

A route leader will lead each route and students can ‘jump in’ at any point. The loops are only 1 kilometer long and will only take about 12 minutes to complete,” Savage said.

and even a president of a college in one case.”

This is important because the dean interacts as a front line for university administrators, dealing with student issues on a daily basis. Other advisers do too, but the Student Affairs Office interfaces with people in lots of ways.

“I’ve never even heard of the dean of Student Affairs, but now that I know what it is, I’m glad I now know where to go when I have an issue,” said Maddy Wilhelm, sophomore in pre-journalism and mass communication.

For example, the primary focus for the Department of Residence is providing living accommodations for students, but it doesn’t interface as extensively as the dean of Student Affairs Office does.

The dean of students is involved with all students, not

just those living in the dorms.

“We need a good dean. It’s a very critical position dealing with emergencies, and other circumstances. ISU has a tradition of having excellent deans,” Hill said.

Feedback is also important in this long process. The new dean of Student Affairs will be taking on a huge commitment and become a leader in the ISU community.

“I think it’s a very critical position, one we would like broad campus involvement in the selection process and in the interviewing. We need feedback from people with regards to their opinions of the candidates. That would be very, very important,” Hill said.

Students overall should know they can get involved with this process. This is a campus-wide position that does take time.

For health and healing, drink tea

By Lindsay MacNab AmesEats Flavors Writer

As the crisp fall days turn cooler and keeping up with your life becomes more stressful, enjoying a cup of steaming tea will not only be soothing, but healthy and healing as well.

Tea is one of the most frequently consumed beverages in the world and, quite arguably, the healthiest. But making the perfect brew isn’t as easy as you may think.

Properly brewing tea combines boiling water and just the right amount of herbal tea leaves in order to enhance flavor and healing properties. Here are some of the many calming teas for you to try:

How to: steep tea Step 1:

Heat water over the stove until it comes to a boil. Pour the water into a mug or tea cup.

Green tea: A type of “pure,” nonfermented tea that is commonly grown in China or Japan. To process the leaves, they are first air-dried and then steamed or pan-fired and dried again. Like black tea, green tea also contains caffeine, but not nearly as much. Green tea contains catechins, which are known for their anti-cancer properties.

This type of tea may also lower your risk of coronary artery disease. Feel like relaxing?

Drinking green tea will stimulate the release of the neurotransmitter GABA and dopamine, which calms the brain leaving you content.

Oolong (Wu-long) tea: A type of Chinese tea that is made by pan-firing the leaves for oxidation and semi-fermentation. It has a sweet flavor and is low in caffeine. According to Dr. Jonny Bowden, columnist for Muscle & Fitness magazine and a best-selling author, oolong tea is commonly used as a weight loss remedy since it helps to speed up metabolism. It may also aid in digestion and promote healthy skin and teeth. The polyphenols in Oolong tea also assist in removing free radicals from the body.

Black tea: A fermented tea that contains the highest caffeine content of all types of tea. It is popular in countries such as India, China and Sri Lanka where it is regularly consumed. Earl Grey and English breakfast tea are some of the most enjoyed varieties of black tea around the world. Black tea contains complex polyphenols (a type of antioxidant) that help prevent the body’s cells from damaging free radicals, which can lead to heart disease, stroke and cancer. It can also lower your triglyceride levels as well as reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

Just add a splash of milk, honey, lemon or sugar and enjoy.

White tea: The only tea made from immature tea leaves that are picked before they are able to bud. It is the least processed and also contains the highest amount of polyphenols. Because white tea has a sweet, unique flavor, it is best enjoyed without a sweetener. This tea may actually help to increase your body’s HDL (“good”) cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

Since it has antiviral and antibacterial properties, it may be a perfect beverage for drinking if you have a cold or feel like you are about to catch one.

Step 2:

Add a tea bag or use a filter bag if you are using loose tea.

Step 3:

Deal of the week: Fuji apples

Pumpkin oat bars 1/2 cup walnuts 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 2. In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs.

3. Mix in remaining ingredients and stir until evenly distributed.

4. Press mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Meanwhile, prepare cream cheese icing. Once the bars have cooled, drizzle on icing.

Fuji apples are officially in season. Harvested in midSeptember all the way through late October, there are an abundance of fresh apples available right now. This means you can get them at a great deal.

Price this week: Pick up a pound for just 78 cents a pound at the grocery store, and don’t forget to check out local apple orchards for great pick-your-own deals.

How to use them: Fuji apples make a great sweet snack that won’t add a lot of calories or fat to your daily diet. They also make a great fall dessert. Bake them into a pie or apple crisp, or just heat some up on the stove with butter, sugar and cinnamon and finish it off with some ice cream.

3 eggs 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 cup butter 1 15 oz can pumpkin 4 1/2 rolled oats

Let sit, or steep, for about three minutes. The longer you let the tea steep the stronger and more bitter it will be.

Step 4:

Cream cheese icing: 1 eight-ounce package cream cheese 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons water Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Add more water if necessary to reach desired consistency.

Senior outside hitter Kanani Danielson was named Ka Leo’s player of the week for her performance in Hawai‘i’s two victories over Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State.

Danielson racked up a team-high eight kills against LA Tech and 11 kills against New Mexico State.

The victory over the Aggies marked the end of Hawai‘i’s conference regular season and culminated with the annual Senior Night festivities. Danielson joined Chanteal Satele and Alex Griffiths in their final regular season matches in the Stan Sheriff Center.

“It’s a great accomplishment to say that I’ve made it through Senior Night,” Danielson said. “All things come to a good end. … It’s exactly what I wanted and I’ve enjoyed every moment.”

KCC student and housing company prepare for court battle Hunt’s blog alleged problems ranging from mold to misleading billing.

NIK SEU KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

K ELSEY A MOS News Editor In August, Ka Leo reported on Hawai‘i Student Housing’s lawsuit against Kapi‘olani Community College student Dylan Hunt, who allegedly defamed HSH in a blog about his time living in the company’s housing. Since then, other news sources and commentators have reported on the lawsuit, questioning whether it can be considered a SLAPP, or “strategic lawsuit against public participation.”

A SLAPP is a lawsuit meant to intimidate and silence critics who wish to avoid the complications and expense of legal action. Hunt has filed a “motion to strike,” which is a defensive move. He has a hearing scheduled for Jan. 17, where there is a possibility the lawsuit will be dropped.

Civil Beat reported that HSH would have to prove it has lost business because of Hunt’s blog for its case to hold up in court. But it also noted that Kingston Liao, the principle broker for King Realty Hawai‘i (which manages the HSH properties), has said that it remains occupied near full capacity.

This statement might be a problem for HSH’s case, and may add credence to Hunt’s claim that the lawsuit is a baseless attempt to silence him.

Liao sees the whole thing differently. “The lawsuit against Mr. Hunt is not a SLAPP suit,” said Liao in an email. He quoted the same Civil Beat article, saying “Civil Beat questioned ‘whether that approach [Hunt’s SLAPP suit counterclaim] would work for Hunt, saying a lawsuit is usually considered a SLAPP only when it limits participation in government, such as public testimony or petitioning.’” The issue would then revolve around whether deleting a blog post would amount to a limitation of Hunt’s participation in government.

Beyond this, Liao stood firm in his belief that Hunt is in the wrong. “Mr. Hunt has a right to free speech; however, that does not mean that he can make false statements intended to unfairly damage others. Mr. Hunt will be accountable for every false statement he has knowingly made,” said Liao.

WOULD YOU LIVE IN HSH?

Hunt said he is glad for the media coverage of his situation. “Every single one [news article] that pops up helps so much. I get a lot of feedback ... [and] comments,” he said. “People send me messages.” Hunt is collecting testimony from other students to use in his defense.

KCC’s student newspaper reported on the lawsuit in September. Its reporters talked to Executive Director of Student Academic Services at Hawai‘i Pacific University Deborah Nakashima, who gave a favorable review of the ‘Ōhi‘a, one of the buildings Hunt lived in, and said that HPU recommends HSH to students.

When asked whether he would recommend HSH to other students, Hunt hesitated before commenting, “At the moment, considering the harassment, considering the charges were not dropped and who knows about the building situation … a lot of people think ... that students exaggerate these things. But it happened to me, it happened to my roommate, I have statements from over 30 people.”

POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS

Hunt did make some positive comments. “I recently heard that conditions are infi nitely improving inside the ‘Ōhi‘a. They’re sending messages about if people have questions about payments. It’s doing exactly what I hoped,” he said.

When asked about these changes, Liao insisted that HSH has always employed a full-time accounting staff that goes over invoices with residents, as well as maintenance staff to respond to student needs. “Mr. Hunt’s sensationalism and untrue statements has not changed our process of regularly seeking constructive feedback from our residents and responding accordingly to that feedback,” he said.

Hunt described his current situation waiting for the January hearing as the calm before the storm: “I’m trying to continue school as normal. ... Preparing for this is taking me away a lot from studying and such, but I’m trying my best to keep on track,” he said.

Salina’s unmanned aircraft systems Census brings redistricting impact rural areas, program taking off, degree in future Changes large cities in different ways Enrollment numbers grow as school awaits approval Sam Diederich news editor It’s not uncommon to hear jokes about towns in Kansas being behind the times. Every Kansas resident has probably suffered at least one jab while on an out-of-state vacation. “You all have electricity out there in the Land of Oz? How are Toto and Dorothy?”

Students at K-State Salina can respond with a quick grin, “Toto and Dorothy are fine. They are learning to fly remotely piloted aircraft.

Manned aircraft are too 20th century.”

Founded in 2007, the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) program at K-State Salina has been attracting an increasing number of students.

Interest in the field of unmanned flight exploded at Salina this year when enrollment in the introduction course increased by 200 percent.

“We see where the future of aviation is going,” said Eric Shappee, associate professor of unmanned aircraft systems. “If you look, you will see the military has a great number of unmanned systems. We explored that avenue and decided that this would be a very good area to get involved in.”

Shappee first began his career in unmanned aircraft systems in 2000 as an operator for a Predator Drone, a remotely piloted aircraft used by the military. His personal and pro-

fessional experience with remotely piloted aircraft has made him an advocate for the technology.

“If you put a man in an aircraft and you send him out on a mission for observing a disaster, after a while it can get tedious and boring, and when things get tedious and boring, error rates for the human rise,” Shappee said.

By using a remotely piloted aircraft, personnel can fly the plane in consecutive shifts which allows for longer flight times and prevents pilots from being spread too thin.

UAS technology also allows planes to more closely monitor scenes that may present dangers to manned aircraft.

“If you want to send an aircraft out to a disaster like a nuclear power plant that has released a plume, you don’t want to use a manned aircraft,” Shappee said. “It’s too dangerous.”

Shappee said remotely piloted aircraft are also more economically viable.

“We can put an aerosonde up in orbit for 20 hours over one spot and we don’t have to worry about bringing it back to replace fuel or the crew,” Shappee said. “The aerosonde itself, not the one we have at Salina, but a similar model, has actually gone across the Atlantic Ocean on a gallon and a half of gas.

Talk about the economy of that, it’s outrageous.”

The burgeoning interest in unmanned aircraft systems has sparked change at K-State Salina.

The school does not yet have a degree program for unmanned air-

Sam Diederich news editor Once every 10 years, the state of Kansas dusts off a map of congressional districts, checks the U.S. Census for a quick head count of residents and then shuffles up districts and re-deals.

The process, known as redistricting, serves to ensure that Kansas residents are represented by the appropriate number of legislators.

“Every legislature across the country goes through a redistricting process to ensure that there are equal numbers in each district,” said Joseph Aistrup, interim associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and professor of political science.

“That takes place at a congressional level in the U.S. Congress and for state legislatures. It even goes down to counties if you are talking about county commissioners.”

The process, which will be completed in 2012, uses district population totals from the U.S. Census Bureau to determine which districts have grown and which have thinned out. Districts are then reproportioned.

“What that means in the terms of the state of Kansas is that the less populated areas, their district sizes will get larger and there will be fewer of them,” Aistrup said.

“Where as in the Kansas City, Lawrence or Manhattan areas, our district sizes will get smaller and we will see more of them because we will have a larger population.”

More districts should translate to more representation in the state legislator, which should mean better representation of area populations. Though the process can cause a shifting in district lines, it does not usually mean a shift in political power.

“It probably won’t have any impact

We’ve got the stories you’ve got to read.

Ad It Up! Talk with one of our advertising sales representatives by calling

craft systems, but Kurt Barnhart, professor and head of the department of aviation, said the university is currently awaiting approval to begin a degree program next fall.

“It’s at the Board of Regents level and we are anticipating approval sometime this summer,” Barnhart said. “Remotely piloted aircraft are a huge part of the future of aviation.

They will be around for a long time and are not going away.”

If the Kansas Board of Regents approves the program, K-State will be among the first universities in the country to offer a degree in unmanned aircraft systems.

If the growing student interest is any indicator, there is an increasing need for pilots trained for UAS. “Students see our activity on campus and they look at that and think, ‘Wow, that looks like something fun to get into and it looks like a possible career path,’” Shappee said. “It will create more jobs for everybody because to fly an unmanned aircraft you are going to have to be a pilot.”

With degree approval pending, Barnhart is excited about KState Salina’s opportunity to offer a degree that grew from a single class.

“We were one of the first in the nation. Now there are several universities setting up UAS programs, but we were operational and were one of the first in the nation,” Barnhart said. “It’s taken a team of people on this campus who are committed to leaning forward and that’s what we’ve done, and we are happy about it.”

upon the partisan nature of our legislature. We are dominated by Republicans,” Aistrup said.

If there is a shift in political power, Aistrup said it is usually in the direction of the party with the power.

“Given the fact that Republicans are in a dominant position, those districts will be drawn so that Republicans are more likely to win elections,” Aistrup said. “Let’s put it this way, they are not going to do the Democrats any favors. That’s just the way politics works.”

Though policy-makers can influence redistricting, there are state regulations designed to protect against too much manipulation of the system.

“They have to try to keep communities of interest together. For example, you don’t want to split Manhattan into 13 different districts,” Aistrup said. “Another example, Hispanic communities need to have districts large enough that they cannot be split up. It is the same with African Americans.”

By keeping communities of interest together, there is a better chance citizens will be able to elect a representative of their community to the state legislature.

The Manhattan area could experience some redistricting in the upcoming shuffle of districts. Aistrup said Manhattan could go from being in the 2nd Congressional district to the 1st, which would mean uncertainty for U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, the current representative for the 2nd district.

If Jenkins loses Manhattan to redistricting, she would need to recover votes, likely by reaching out to Douglas County and Lawrence.

Any redistricting choices would probably be difficult to alter, Aistrup said.

“The courts, unless there is some diluting of a protected class or of individuals from a historically underrepresented group, are going to uphold whatever the state legislature decides,” Aistrup said.

CLUB | Toilets for the environment Continued from page 1 water usage by 37 gallons a day per room.

“That’s a savings of over 13,000 gallons per room annually,” Woodruff said. This would bring the total savings to approximately 130,000 gallons per year. To put it in perspective, according to answers.com that is equivalent to about 988,000 16.9 fl. oz. water bottles each year.

In addition to saving water, the toilets will also save money.

“The monetary impact of high-efficiency dual flush toilets is amazing. The toilets will pay for themselves after just 8

months and will save the Quality Inn $1,700 a year,” Woodruff said.

In addition to aiding the hotel in saving water and money, Gorrell feels there are environmental benefits of the project, too — even if hotel guests don’t know they are saving water.

“Most people are blessed with a virtually endless water supply, which makes it a lot harder to realize just how much you’re using,” she said. “SIFE’s small actions to help the community cut back on water usage isn’t only beneficial to the Quality Inn, but will pay off in a big way to the environment in the years to come.”

“Whether people realize they’re saving water by using these toilets or not doesn’t really matter, however I find it rewarding to know that I helped protect our most valuable resource, even if it was thanks to toilets,” Gorrell said.

For the SIFE group, this project isn’t necessarily the extent of their involvement in Salina businesses.

“We hope that this is not the end of this project, as we are planning to keep track of the improvements at the Quality Inn as well as take our story to other Salina hotel owners to make improvements at their hotels,” Woodruff said.

IMPROV | Actors promote the arts Continued from page 1 troupe performed four different skits, one at a time. The catch, however, is that each actor starred in two skits, one with the person to his left, the other with the person to his right. Littrell would tell the actors when to either pan left or pan right.

Then, each actor would walk to another corner of an imaginary square. Only the two actors

at the front of the stage, however, would resume acting in their own skit.

Littrell would rotate the stage again and another skit would resume where it left off. After a minute or so, he’d change the channel again, often after a line or action drew a notable uproar of laughter.

Students enjoyed the show and for many, it was the first On the Spot performance they at-

to a favorite athlete

tended.

“Hilarious. It was so funny, the fact that they do this on the spot, it is insane,” said Liz Gonzales, senior in elementary education. “It’s something I could never do.”

On the Spot performs at Kite’s Grille and Bar in Aggieville biweekly, Littrell said.

They also hold workshops at local high schools to give a taste of how improv works.

It all adds up for K-State math Students take first and second in math contest held on campus Hayley Henry junior staff writer The K-State Department of Mathematics had more to celebrate than Pi Day this week.

Several K-State students participated in the Kansas Collegiate Mathematics Competition held at Baker University.

Virginia Naibo, assistant professor of mathematics and KCMC advisor, said the competition takes place every spring in a Kansas college or university and is set up by the Kansas Section of the Mathematical Association of America.

The team consisted of six K-State students: Dakota Bixler, junior in mathematics and electrical engineering; Hui Cao, senior in mathematics; Na Long, sophomore in mathematics; Brian Moore,

senior in mathematics and electrical engineering; Brian Tierney, senior in mathematics and electrical engineering and Yuan Yan, sophomore in mathematics.

Bixler, Moore and Tierney received first place in the team competition and Cao, Long and Yan placed second.

“The test was five questions long and we had three hours to complete five math proofs,” said Tierney, a member of the first place team.

The test focused on solving theorems.

“Many people think mathematicians are number crunchers, but they really like ideas and nice results,” Tierney said.

“For example, we were given a chess board with all the pieces on the last problem of the test.

We had to show how to cover the entire chess board with dominos by removing two chess pieces.”

Tierney said he enjoys competing in these type of math competition because they help him expand his knowledge in

engineering.

“The reason I study math is so I can gather more intuition and insight into my double major, which is engineering,” he said. “I take these math competitions as a way to gather more information about math and engineering.”

Naibo congratulated the teams for taking the top spots in the competition, praised the students’ mathematical abilities, and said the math department was very proud of them.

To get involved in next year’s competition, students are offered a mathematics class to help improve their skills.

“The mathematics department offers a seminar during the fall semester called the Putnam Seminar,” Naibo said.

“This is a great opportunity for the students to prepare for various mathematics competitions such as the Putnam Competition, the Parker Competition and the Kansas Collegiate Mathematics Competition.”

Niners fall for the second year in a row to Xavier Ed Niser eniser@uncc.edu

The three seed Charlotte 49ers’ men’s soccer team fell in overtime to the six-seed Xavier Musketeers 2-1 Thursday in their opening round of the A-10 Tournament.

Aidan Kirkbride tallied his third goal of the season.

Xavier’s season-leader in goals, Luke Spencer provided the equalizer in the 32nd minute on strike from just outside the 18yard box.

Charlotte’s main questionmark going into the NCAA Tournament is whether or not they will host a first round game.

Redshirt senior T.J. Beaulieu had the 49ers final shot of the half but it was blocked

by Xavier goaltender Justin Marshall.

Charlotte had their best scoring chances in the second half, outshooting

the Musketeers 9-2. Kirkbride came back looking for another goal in the final ten minutes of regulation, but Musketeers’ goaltender Marshall made another save.

The Musketeers wasted no time as Will Walker dialed up the game winning shot just three minutes into the overtime period, closing the door on Charlotte for the second straight A-10 tournament.

Charlotte finished with a 14-6 shot advantage, Kirkbride led all 49ers with four. The 49ers are ranked ninth in the latest College Soccer RPI polls and should be a lock to secure a spot in this year’s men’s soccer College Cup. Prior to their loss in the A-10 tournament, Charlotte was thought to be a lock for hosting a game in the NCAA, following the loss where they will play is still yet to be determined.

Aiden Kirkbride scored the 49ers lone goal during their A-10 opening round loss to Xavier last Friday.

Diamond in the Rough

Long journey leads Dorian Brown to Ram Country

By Kevin Lytle The Rocky Mountain Collegian

Get to know dorian brown

When you ask running back Dorian Brown what schools were recruiting him following his junior season, you get taken on a cross-country “who’swho” of the top college football programs.

“I was talking with Oregon, Miami, Tennessee.

USC contacted me, Cal…” Brown says as he tries to remember all those who showed interest in him.

Yet he is now a member of the CSU football team. A combination of loyalty, family and injury has brought Brown to Fort Collins.

Let’s start with injury. Following a junior season in which he racked up 1,975 yards and 17 touchdowns, Brown caught the attention of schools around the country.

But at a scrimmage only six days before the start of his senior season at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland, Brown tore his anterior cruciate ligament.

Prior to the injury Brown was rated the nation’s No. 28 running back by Rivals.com and he was named first-team all-state in class 4A. Brown was also nominated to play in the All-American Bowl before his injury.

But after tearing his ACL, all lines of communication from big-time schools were severed. He never heard from any of the coaches again.

After checking with doctors to make sure Brown’s rehab and recovery were on the right path, CSU never wavered in their recruitment.

“We’ve known Dorian for a long time, not just Dorian, his family. We were committed to him a long time ago,” coach Steve Fairchild said.

That brings in the family tie. Brown’s uncle, Mike Mangelsen, was a kicker and punter for CSU in the late ‘70s when he was a teammate of Fairchild’s.

Biggest fear: Getting hurt again.

Dream car: Lamborghini Murcielago. Metallic black.

Favorite sports movie: The Program.

Favorite song: Hustling by Wiz Khalifa.

NCAA Basketball National Championship prediction: VCU. “Im gonna role with the little guys. They’re pretty legit.”

Brown said that he went to a lot of CSU games when he was younger, including all the CSU-CU games where he always “wore the green.”

And while he grew up in nearby Loveland, Brown was born outside of the United States.

His mother, Kim, was living in the Virgin Islands when she met Brown’s father, Will. The two then made the move to Puerto Rico, where Dorian was eventually born.

Two years later the couple was expecting a second child, and after deciding that the condition of the hospitals were too poor, the family came to Loveland where they have been ever since.

Now, Brown is looking to regain the form that brought recruiters from around the country to his door.

After graduating high school a semester early, Brown is already enrolled at CSU and is slowly rehabbing his knee so that he can take part in spring practice.

“If I had come in at the fall I would have been lost. The plays we’re learning are crazy. It’s a whole other level. But I’m glad I’m here now,” Brown said.

“I just want to get out there and compete and see what I can do at the next level. That’s what it’s all about.”

Lady Rams take momentum to Vegas

By David de Besche The Rocky Mountain Collegian

The Colorado State women’s tennis team will take its hot streak on the road this weekend as they open up Mountain West Conference action in Las Vegas, Nev. The Rams (7-5) are coming off their best weekend of tennis of the year when they defeated Weber State, 6-1, last Friday. The victory was their fifth in six matches and their third in a row.

Head coach Jon Messick is pleased with the way his team has been competing, especially so early in the season.

“We are playing our best tennis of the year right now,” Messick said.

The team is rounding to-

wards full strength as several players were riddled with sickness and injury earlier in the season. The players credit the close knit relationship between teammates for keeping the season on track.

“Our strength is our comaraderie and work ethic,” senior Melissa Holzinger said.

Back at full strength as a team, the Rams feel confident they can continue to improve.

“We are playing really well, and we are all still improving,” Messick said.

Many of the Rams have individual winning streaks on the line today. Juniors Lauren Mulhern, Veronika Wojakowska and freshman Kaley Schultz have all won their last three matches in a row.

Holzinger has also won five of her last six matches and was recognized as the MWC Player of the Week.

After missing all fall with a back injury, the senior is ecstatic that her hard work has paid off.

“It made me feel really good, especially after my injury,” Holzinger said.

As a freshman, Schultz has stepped up to the No. 5 singles rank and has paired with Mulhern for the Rams’ No. 2 doubles position.

Contributing immensely as a freshman, coach Messick sees a big future for his underclassman. “(Schultz) is going to do nothing but improve. She is going to be a strong player for us,” Messick said.

CSU will look to extend

the three-match winning streak today as they face San Diego State University (96) who has won its past five games.

On Saturday the Rams will take on UNLV (11-4) to close out the opening weekend of conference play.

With both SDSU and UNLV ranking among the top 50 in the nation, the Rams know they are going to have to play well to continue their winning ways.

“We are going to have to pick up our game a notch,” Messick said. “(San Diego State and UNLV) are a cut above what we have been facing.”

FORT COLLINS FOCUS

In Tuesday’s article, “Influx could affect future housing on-campus,” it was stated that the dorms are already overcrowded for the class of 2014, when in fact, it’s too early to predict what occupancy will be in the fall, according to Housing and Dining Services. In addition, it was stated that CSU would never turn away upperclassmen looking for campus housing, when CSU can turn away upperclassmen if they apply for housing after the February marketing period. Finally, it was incorrectly stated that fewer double beds will be offered on campus next year to save room, when instead, they will be offering fewer double-as-singles rooms next year if necessary to save space.

The other staple of television includes the one phone call. As it turns out, there is no federal law mandating that call. “Some states have providence for contacting a lawyer or family. Mostly, the phone call is a reasonable accommodation to arrange bail or contact a lawyer or family.”

After the interrogation, during which the suspect has the right to remain silent, he or she may be sent to the county jail. There, the officers meet with a prosecutor. They review the material gathered by the police and present it to a judge. The judge then decides whether or not a warrant should be served. If so, the suspect is then served, usually while still in the county jail, and simultaneously notified of his or her bail. If stopped by the police, Strom recommends adopting a candid and open attitude. “Cooperation can go a long way,” Strom said Those stickers in the library do not offer the best advice, either. “If you run from the police, you’ll probably get caught,” said Strom.

“You’re resisting arrest, which is another charge.

Plus, you’re trying to outrun technology. We can radio to other officers in the area, or use CCTV, for example.”

Above all, Strom wants students to remember that the police are a part of the same community as everyone else. “We’re all interested in the general safety of everyone, the police are there to enforce it,” he said.

cocktail corner W.I.L.D. EDITION GEORGIE MORVIS CADENZA EDITOR

While most students will spend this Friday drinking cans of Natty and taking shots of Sterling, there are more delicious ways to get W.I.L.D. Even the frattiest brothers must admit that drinking Natty all the time gets old. Why not buy a six-pack of a delicious beer to go with that case of Natty? I suggest any of the following: Schlafly, the quintessential St. Louis beer; Blue Moon, a college classic; Smithwick’s, an Irish ale alternative to Guiness; or Goose Island 312 Urban Ale, one of the most popular Chicago beers.

Another thrifty way to avoid trashy drinks is to buy a box of Franzia, which also allows the infamous game of tipping the box. For flavor, Sunset Blush is unparalleled, but Chillable Red is barely drinkable. Keeping your Franzia cold is the easiest way to keep it tasty, so be sure to have a fridge large enough to fit a box of wine.

Now for some quick mixed drink suggestions.

Since quantity is more important than quality for W.I.L.D., consider a pitcher or bucket to make your mixed drinks.

The mojito, a Cuban classic, is perfect for a sunny afternoon. Since you’ll be adding sugar, mint and lime, cut costs and buy the cheapest white rum possible. A good balance of cheapness and quality is Admiral Nelson’s. For every

drink

&

shot of rum add about a shot-and-a-half of club soda and a tablespoon of sugar. Three tablespoons of sugar is about the same as a sugar packet. Stir your bucket and serve.

The mojito is traditionally served in a highball glass.

Add a wedge of lime and a few mint leaves to taste.

Voila! A drink Fidel Castro would approve.

Similar to the mojito bucket, a margarita bucket is a great south-of-theborder option for the concert. Stores have premade margarita buckets, but if you want to make your own, simply get a large bottle of margarita mix and a fifth of tequila. A fun alternative to margarita mix is Minute Maid frozen limeade. If you have a blender, add three or four cups of ice and pour in the label-suggested amount of margarita mix and tequila (generally two cups for every shot).

As for tequila suggestions, I’m utterly convinced that Sterling Tequila is just bottled ipecac, so splurge a little here and purchase some Cuervo. Limes and salt are a necessity as well. Simply cut a slit in a lime, rub the lime around the rim of your glass, then flip the glass over and rub it on a salt-filled plate (or common room table). It’s almost as good as going to a bar.

After your W.I.L.D. or DAYGLOW experience, drink water as much as possible.

Happy drinking!

sports Lugar leads women’s golf to Fall Preview win SAHIL PATEL SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

GENEVIEVE HAY | STUDENT LIFE

The Washington University Men’s cross country team takes off in last Saturday’s meet. The men finished in second place and took three of the top ten places, including senior Michael Burnstein’s (2444) sixth-place finish.

Year-round runners keep up last season’s efforts in strong debut KURT ROHRBECK SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

The Washington University men’s and women’s cross country teams’ second and first place finishes at last Saturday’s Early Bird meet marked the beginning of a new season.

“It went great,” head coach Jeff Stiles said of the meet. “It may be the best opening meet, if you take into account both sides, that we’ve potentially ever had.”

The meet, hosted by Wash.

U. in Forest Park, was the first chance at competition for many runners since last November. But for some members of the teams, the opening meet was a continuation of a cycle of training and meets that hasn’t stopped since their arrival here at Wash. U. Multiple members of the cross country teams also run in the winter and spring track seasons, and some even competed in multiple events at the NCAA Division III 2011 Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

“When nationals are over for track, we start building back up and focusing more on the distance, the hills, the longer runs,” senior Liz Phillips said.

For some athletes, the events that are run in the spring are very similar to the ones run in the fall, in that they are pure distance events. Senior Michael Burnstein, for instance, finished third overall in the 10,000-meter run and 19th overall in the 5,000-meter run at nationals, helping the men’s team finish fourth overall at the event for its highest-ever finish.

Burnstein, who placed sixth overall and second on the team in Saturday’s 6K race, noted a big difference in the mindsets of the two seasons.

“The actual training is very similar, but as far as mentality they’re pretty different,” Burnstein, last year’s University Athletic Association individual cross country champion, said. “Track kind of feels more individual, where[as] in cross country you know your time directly affects your team’s place.”

He added that he preferred the fall season to the spring. “I’ve always preferred cross [country], I think. Aesthetically I like racing on cross country courses more, because there’s more variation. Every week there’s a different course…I just really value that it’s more of a team sport and you get much closer to your teammates.”

For other athletes, such as Phillips, the fall presents a very different experience from the spring. Phillips, who won Saturday’s 4K race, placed sixth overall in both the 800- and 1,500-meter runs in the national meet.

Facing two types of events very different from one another, Phillips embraces the differences in the seasons for her. She echoed Burnstein’s assessment of the seasons’ mentalities, but acknowledged that it was impossible for her to pick which she enjoys more.

“I think middle distance is a ton of fun and just kicking that last 200 meters of a race is really

fun, really exhilarating,” Phillips said. “But at the same time cross country is longer workouts, harder workouts, [and] it’s more team-centered.”

These runners, however, came to Wash. U. knowing they would be working year-round. Stiles, who has served as the cross country coach in 2001, took over the track and field head coaching reins before the 2008-09 school year.

A former year-round runner himself at North Central College, Stiles enjoys working with both of the squads.

“It’s more challenging to do two sports, but I think it’s also fun and exciting. You’re dealing with totally different dynamics of people and personality requirements,” Stiles said, referring to the differences between sprinters and distance runners.

And even though the events can vary drastically between seasons, all athletes know it’s important to train throughout the year, and Stiles believes his teams are no exception.

“They totally complement one another,” Stiles said of track and cross country. “All the best athletes in the world train year-round. You’re just accomplishing different things in different phases.”

The cross country teams are off this weekend and will be back in action on Friday, Sept.

16, for the Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville Cross Country Challenge.

Junior Hannah Buck finished in eighth place with a score of 158 (8078), sophomore Allyson Chee came in ninth place one stroke back (77-82) and sophomore Andrea Hibbert shot a 166 (85-81), but it was some new names that led the No. 7 Washington University women’s golf team to victory.

Freshman Olivia Lugar became the third golfer in program history to win a tournament, last weekend’s NCAA Fall Preview Tournament, as her score of 149 (76-73) tied for first place with Olivet College’s Lauren Campbell’s.

Lugar and freshman Taylor Fagan, whose 156 (80-76) gave her a tie for fifth place, led the Bears to a 20-stroke victory over second-place finisher and No. 2 DePauw University and the rest of the field. The Bears’ second-day score of 308 is the second-lowest in team history, two strokes shy of the final round 306 shot in 2009 at the Wartburg Fall Invitational.

“It is great being able to start out the season with a win,” Hibbert said.

“Beating DePauw gives us a lot of momentum into the upcoming tournaments. Hopefully we can play with as much confidence so we can effectively show what a strong competitor we are for our spring season.”

The freshmen’s performances were particularly impressive considering the NCAA Fall Preview was their first-ever collegiate tournament.

“It’s evident [that] they are going to be able to contribute significant amounts to the team,” Hibbert said.

“Nervousness wasn’t a factor for them, and it showed in their scores.”

Lugar’s second-round 73 was the best of the entire tournament field, while Fagan improved four strokes from day one to day two.

“The coach didn’t really put a lot of pressure on any of us,” Lugar said.

“Going in there, I didn’t have a lot of high hopes, I was just hoping to put up a decent score. It was mostly just a testing ground for me. I was just trying to see how things would go because obviously I had never played college golf before.”

Lugar had the chance to finish at par and was sitting at even heading into the 18th hole. However, she suffered a minor setback off the tee.

“On the course, it is very easy to get ahead of yourself,” Lugar said. “I did that a little bit on the last hole. I bogeyed it for a 73. I was like, ‘Oh, I might shoot even par!’ and I just pushed my drive into the woods.”

Despite being new to campus, neither Lugar nor Fagan has struggled to balance coursework with practices and tournaments thus far. The golf team attended classes for two days before departing for the tournament in Angola, Ind. “[Head coach Sean Curtis] really understands that the whole school part comes first,” Lugar said. “Sometimes we just have conversations with the team to see who will be able to take who to practice, and a lot of times your practice time will be cut short. It is a little bit farther away from campus, but I’m used to long practices.”

According to Lugar, one of the biggest adjustments she will have to make is less practice time compared to previous years in her hometown of Rockledge, Fla. “I lived like five minutes from three different courses; it is Florida after all, so over the summer, I would get to practice for a couple hours in the mornings and then go play in the afternoon and evening time, and it was really convenient,” Lugar said. “Now I don’t think I’m going to get to play as much except for tournaments.

“I’m definitely not used to winter.

Taking four months off is going to be very different. I know my coach is going to be like, ‘Please, Olivia, go home for winter break and practice.’”

Despite the early success, Lugar insists that she can still improve throughout the season.

“I’ve always been a straight hitter, but I’m not extremely long,” Lugar said. “[Competitors] are outdriving me by like 50 yards. I’m still trying to get distance—the past few years, I’ve been working out to try to get out to 230 [yards]. Right now, I’m just trying to be more consistent on the course.”

When Lugar was 9, her father gave her a choice: follow her older sister in swimming or pick up the golf club and try something else. According to Lugar, after the decision was made, “things just escalated.”

“We went from just hitting balls a couple times a week to every day and then tournaments. I really just wasn’t into swimming,” Lugar said. “I like golf because it is very different. With golf, you can’t play the same round twice.

Everybody’s got a different swing, and it’s very personal with what you want to do and what you are able to do.”

Lugar and the rest of the Bears will compete this weekend in the O’Brien National Tournament on Sunday and Monday in South Bend, Ind. Write to Sahil Patel at SAHIL.PATEL@STUDLIFE.COM

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2011

you drop it?

After excluding “Boongie Drop,” “Black and White America” is a great album to play at a party, where people can nod along to the beat and ignore the lyrics. And Lenny Kravitz has never exactly been a lyrical genius—most of his previous albums have been about women or the rockstar lifestyle. It just seems like if he’s going to make an album that’s ostensibly about race, and about using his own mixed-race heritage to straddle musical genres, then that should be reflected in all aspects of his songs.

Write to Nora Long at NORA.LONG@STUDLIFE.COM

‘Night Shades’

the album moves breathlessly through ranges of incompatible songs, like ’50s throwback “Fool Like Me,” complete with high-pitched doo-wop backing vocals, keyboard-synth-fueled “Anything For Love,” which might have been popular in the ’80s, and the astoundingly horrible “Middle Finger,” featuring rapper Mac Miller and moments of astonishing lyrical prowess like “Throw your cups in the air/We so fly/Middle finger up to the sky.”

The result is that the album lacks any obvious sense of cohesion and thus cannot fully satisfy fans of any genre.

“Night Shades” doesn’t really work as a complete album, and although there are a few likable songs (particularly the album opener “You Belong to Me,” which combines soft vocals and saccharine piano riffs) and certainly some tunes to blast at dance parties, there are also many forgettable filler songs.

It’s clear that Cobra has tried to take a different direction from “Hot Mess,” but they should go back to unabashedly owning the cheesy guitar and synth-filled dance-punk that made them popular in the first place.

“Fool Like Me” “You Belong to Me” KAYLA HOLLENBAUGH CADENZA REPORTER

“Night Shades” is the fourth album by New York band Cobra Starship. It’s obvious that the band intended to build on the mass appeal of their 2009 album, “Hot Mess” (featuring the guilty pleasure single “Good Girls Go Bad”), which brought them chart success. The new album has several unashamed pop-dance songs like the catchy first single “You Make Me Feel...” and also “#1Nite.”

These songs are carefully crafted and refined with singalong hooks and fist pumping beats that would fit nicely on any Top 40 chart. However, the problem with “Night Shades” is that the band seems unwilling to commit completely to the mindless pop anthems that made them famous: Instead, the band explores too many genres on “Night Shades.” Although relatively short at 10 songs,

maintains a sound that is distinctly theirs while blending in adult-alternative and contemporary sounds.

This album sounds most similar to the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ past three albums, but it unfortunately loses the band’s earlier funk vibes to be more mainstream. The songs are still excellently composed and diversified enough to distinguish the album from its well-established brothers.

The music holds true to the band’s sound, especially in the rhythm section. Chad Smith on drums and Flea on bass are consistently locked in a groove that defines every song. This album debuted the band’s new guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer, who managed to fill John Frusciante’s shoes quite nicely. While Frusciante made a name for himself through standout guitar licks and solos, Klinghoffer focuses more on complementing singer Anthony Kiedis’s familiar vocals. The new guitarist contributes to the band rather tremendously without taking over.

In “Brendan’s Death Song,” he offers beautifully subtle acoustic parts, while in “Goodbye Hooray” he offers sounds reminiscent of what Frusciante did on the band’s past three albums. Nonetheless, he creates his own distinct sound in fun and progressive, dare I say indielike, songs such as “Dance, Dance, Dance” and “Monarchy of Roses.”

Overall, “I’m With You” displays the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ability to remain mainstream while making their songs without-a-doubt theirs.

The band has certainly managed to keep their music fresh and current.

Those who focus on a specific period of the band’s music may really hate this album because it’s progressive, and it may not stand out as anything special. However, those who have admired the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ distinguished sound over the years will really like “I’m With You.” Write to Jacob Kayen at JACOB.KAYEN@STUDLIFE.COM

“Santa Fe” “East Harlem” “Port of Call” JESSIE MCNIEL CADENZA REPORTER

Describing Beirut sounds like a bad joke: an indie band from Santa Fe that mashes American pop with Balkan folk, creating music full of unlikely bedfellows (horns, ukuleles, cellos and accordions) that sounds so undeniably Eastern European. And yet, as indie-folk fans will attest, Beirut makes it work, combining front man Zach Condon’s unique, crooning vocals, peculiarly European arrangements and the strange sweetness of a stripped-down ukulele backed by sweeping strings into a unique sound. In Beirut’s newest album, “The Rip Tide,” these elements are all present and accounted for, but better yet, Beirut manages to combine its unique sound with a poppier, more accessible style while still maintaining its authentic feel.

“The Rip Tide” is a dreamy, nostalgic album, filled with both sad, sweet songs and charmingly cheerful tracks full of brass.

Unsurprisingly, the album is full of nautical images—check out “Port of Call” and the heavily instrumental title song, “The Rip Tide.” The poppiest songs on the album, synth-laden “Santa Fe” and Gusterreminiscent “Port of Call,” are my personal favorites; both are charmingly and unabashedly catchy.

In such a short album—only nine songs—there is little room for missteps, and, in truth, there are very few. The only song that falls flat is “The Peacock,” which feels like a long buildup to nothing.

But elsewhere, Beirut makes up for it. In the album’s first single, “East Harlem,” Condon sings “Sound is the color I know/Sound is what keeps me looking for your eyes/And the sound of your breath in the door/And oh, the sound will bring me home again.”

Fans, fear not. Beirut delivers on all of its promises. The sound of “The Rip Tide” will bring you home.

It seemed like The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus had disappeared from the scene after the release of their first album, “Don’t You Fake It” (even though they have released another album and five EPs since then). But the band’s new album, “Am I The Enemy,” could definitely bring them back into the alternative rock spotlight. The album has a definite alternative-rock core, but its subtle use of punk rock adds a lightness and much-needed catchiness. Like most alternative-rock bands, Red Jumpsuit’s lyrics exude an exorbitant amount of angst. Still, “Am I The Enemy” shows aspects of soul-searching, sincerity and even profound thinking in its lyrics. All these components seem perfect for the college audience, regardless of whether you’re looking for an emotionally thoughtful album or just want to enjoy some laid-back alt rock. The album expresses its angsty lyrics in both poetic and hard-rocking ways. Although it could do without some of its awkward and sporadic use of heavy metal screaming, like in “Fall From Grace” and “Reap”, the album is a winner in my book. With “Am I The Enemy,” the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus has found its own voice and message.

ACADEMICS

Professors utilize different plagiarism prevention methods “I use Turnitin as a teaching opportunity.”

As the end of the semester

By Lyndsi Hardin Staff Reporter

and due dates for final papers approach, professors are taking steps to prevent plagiarism in students’ work.

Doctoral Fellow Lynda Davis, who teaches composition and women’s literature, uses turnitin.com to check for plagiarism.

When using Turnitin, Davis said she uses site settings that allow students to see the plagiarism report when they turn in an assignment. If the report shows a problem with plagiarism, students have the opportunity to edit their assignment and resubmit it before the deadline, she said.

The exception to this rule is if a student submits someone else’s work. Students knowingly submitting work that is not their own is different than “accidentally plagiarizing” a few sentences or a paragraph from the Internet, Davis said.

“I use Turnitin as a teaching opportunity,” she said.

Although many professors

Composition and Women’t literature doctoral fellow

in the English department use Turnitin, Charlotte Hogg, associate professor and director of composition, said she does not because she thinks it sends a message to students that they are expected to plagiarize. However, Turnitin can have a productive use in teaching students how to cite correctly, she said.

“I think that having it there at the beginning is sort of problematic because it can suggest to students that we assume they are going to cheat, and I don’t want to make that assumption,” Hogg said.

She said she uses other ways to detect and prevent plagiarism in her students’ work. She sometimes detects plagiarism by copying and pasting part of a student’s paper into a search engine.

Hogg said she also uncovers plagiarized work by talking to other professors. If a student’s work shows a different writing style than usual, she will discuss it with other professors who will often recognize work that has already been turned in by another student, she said.

Professors can prevent plagiarism by structuring their classes so that drafts are turned in throughout the writing process, Hogg said. Allowing students to generate topics they are truly interested in and teaching them how to research properly also prevents plagiarism, she said.

Linda Hughes, professor of literature, said she can detect plagiarized work by paying attention to her students’ writing styles.

“You can hear when it’s not the authentic voice of the student,” Hughes said.

Hughes said she crafts her assignments so it is not easy for students to buy a paper online or complete the assignment without doing some original writing. She said she does not

feel the need for Turnitin because she teaches upper-level courses with a more mature group of students.

Ginny Gould, a senior advertising/public relations major, said she planned her senior project around the topic of plagiarism.

Gould created the Anti-Pla-

giarism Campaign, a project aimed at implementing a policy of using Turnitin in all Schieffer School of Journalism classes.

However, Gould said she first wants to find out how students feel about Turnitin.

Gould started a survey for students to share their opinions on the matter. Students can ac-

cess the survey through the end of the semester by following a link or scanning the QR code on posters located around Moudy South.

“Basically, it gives us insight on what students think about plagiarism and whether we should implement this system,” Gould said.

Former student, fallen solider nominated for award

By Lexy Cruz

TCU 360 Associate Editor

and Jennifer Retter Staff Reporter

Kay Bailey Hutchison, Texas’ U.S. Senate representative, nominated a former TCU student for the Dallas Morning News Texan of the Year.

Benjamin Schmidt, a for-

mer student and fallen Marine, left TCU after three semesters to serve in the Marines in 2007. Schmidt was killed by “friendly fire” in Afghanistan on Oct. 6, according The San Antonio Express-News.

Schmidt set up his life insurance money to go toward a TCU scholarship if he did not return from combat.

“This scholarship represents all that is good about our country,” Lt. Col. Christopher Talcott, chair of the military science program, said. “We can go to college, we have the freedom to be and do what we want to do.”

The Benjamin W. Schmidt Memorial Scholarship is open to graduate history students

with a minimum 3.0 GPA and a history of community involvement, Samantha Suttle from the Donor Relations office said.

Hutchison wrote in her nomination letter to the Dallas Morning News: “Ben Schmidt, in life and death, exhibited those qualities we treasure as Texans -

bravery, resilience and vision.

His legacy of selflessness and valor will live on in those who are enhanced through his scholarship and inspired by his story to give back to our country.”

According to the Dallas Morning News, the editorial board will select “a Texan (or Texans) who has had uncom-

mon impact – either positive or negative – over the past year.” Recommendations ended Nov. 27.

To donate to the Benjamin W. Schmidt Memorial Scholarship Fund, send a check to the university with the scholarship name in the memo line or call the Donor Relations office.

Social media sites offer health and wellness advice to students

By Emily Agee Staff Reporter

Shawn Redd had played baseball until his second year of college. After he quit playing in 2006, he experienced a 35-pound weight gain. Since then, Redd has been working to lose the weight with a trainer and social media.

Organizations who provide health and wellness tips can be found on social me-

dia websites such as Twitter.

Sports Dietician Amy Goodson those with information tailored specifically to men or women have many followers and prove to be especially helpful to college students looking to shed some pounds or live healthier lifestyles.

Redd, now a communication studies graduate student, followed several Twitter accounts that focused on healthier lifestyles and smarter eating choices, like

Men’s Health Magazine and GQ Magazine.

“I mainly use them as a secondary source to my trainer, and it’s a great way to find additional information and pick up some missing components,” Redd, who has lost 10 pounds, said.

Eating tips from organizations such as “Eat This, Not That” have been helpful to Redd, he said, because they provided him with healthier food options at many popular

chain restaurants.

Goodson said she believed social media can be a great tool for students looking to live healthier. Goodson has her own Twitter account from which she tweets professional nutrition advice.

Social media can provide a place for students to find professional information about nutrition and fitness, Goodson said. She warned students, however, to be careful with social media because

lots of misinformation can be found on the Internet.

“The most important thing to pay attention to is where the information is coming from,” Goodson said. “For the most part, major magazines and professional organizations are going to have the most reliable information.”

Social media may help students who are not trying to lose weight as well.

Senior accounting and finance double major Allison

Hemer said she used Twitter to follow accounts like “PBFingers” that publishes healthy recipes. “PBFingers” was created by a young freelancer who liked to publish her daily activities, recipes and workouts.

“I probably visit the blog a handful of times throughout the week whenever I notice a tweet that sounds interesting,” Hemer said. “[Social media] is a great source for finding pretty much anything.”

FOOTBALL

Patterson decides to put the Frog back on helmet

COURTESY OF TCU NEWS NOW

TCU football head coach Gary Patterson feels like the frog being put back onto the helmets is helping the team’s luck as opposed to the beginning of the season when there were just letters on the sides of the helmets.

By David Stein TCU 360 Editor-in-Chief

Michael Jordan wore North Carolina shorts under his Chicago Bulls shorts for good luck.

Superstitions and sports have coincided for a long time.

The lucky charm for the Frogs on the football field?

A frog.

The last three losses for the Frogs, the 2010 Fiesta Bowl, season-opener against Baylor and overtime loss at home to SMU, all happened after the frog design on their helmet hopped off. The last time TCU lost with a frog on the helmet: a 13-10 loss to Utah in 2008.

TCU took the frog off the helmet to make it easier to see on television, according to head coach Gary Patterson.

But after the loss to rival SMU, Patterson called for the frog back.

“We hadn’t lost two regular season games with the regular frog, and since they put it back on, we haven’t lost since,” Patterson said.

“So the frog stays on.”

He said he likes the design of it better, too.

“I am a model type,” Patterson said jokingly.

“I mean, you look at me and say ‘This guy should be on the cover of GQ right now.’”

Gary Patterson

TCU football head coach

“I thought it looked like Trojan helmet instead of looking like a TCU one, so I put the frog and it made it look more linear coming straight down on their uniform,” he said.

Although Patterson played off his superstitious nature, offensive guard Kyle Dooley said he’s not very superstitious, but he knows who is.

“Coach Patterson’s real big into it, and it’s a real big thing around here at TCU and the football department, at least,” Dooley said.

“It might play a little bit of a role, it might not. I have no idea, but we seem to be able to win with it.”

Patterson said part of his superstitious nature is to take his mind off little things.

“Whether you wear the same tie, the same shirt or the same underwear, all of it, if it makes you feel better,

play better and takes your mind off it, then that’s a superstition,” he said.

This coming from a man who ties his shoes differently if a game isn’t going TCU’s way.

“You’ll notice in the ballgame the other day, I tied it one time the first half,” Patterson said. “Second half, they came down [and scored]. It was a bad shoe tie, so I changed. I re-tied them.

It wasn’t going the way we needed to.”

Safety Johnny Fobbs said the frog doesn’t give him any extra confidence.

“It’s not really superstitious or anything like that,” Fobbs said. “It’s a good look, though. It’s the TCU, so I like it.”

Maybe it’s the superstition of the lucky frog, or maybe it’s just Patterson’s eye for fashion.

“I am a model type,” Patterson said jokingly. “I mean, you look at me and say ‘This guy should be on the cover of GQ right now.’”

While the TCU community awaits Patterson’s modeling debut, it can watch his team finish off the regular season at home against UNLV on Saturday, most likely with lucky frogs on their helmets.

Month-long ritual has purpose

By Brett Musslewhite Staff Reporter

No Shave November is more than just an excuse for men to stop shaving and grow out their facial hair for a month.

Malcolm See, a junior communication studies major, said he learned prostate cancer awareness is the reason behind the trend but said most students are unaware of No Shave November’s purpose.

See said he and at least 10 of his friends wanted to grow out a mustache instead of a beard because of their new understanding of the purpose behind the month without shaving.

“I think it’s great,” he said.

“I think everyone should try to do at least something small, even if it may not make a huge difference. It just feels good to support something that affects so many people.”

Gayle Wilkins, a clinical education specialist at Texas Health Resources and an ad-

junct nursing professor, said a local group of friends started No Shave November to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

“It goes from one little social function motive to actually supporting a good cause like prostate cancer [awareness].

It definitely has a little more of an impact.”

More “buzz” surrounds No Shave November this year due to social media, Wilkins said.

Blaine Bond, a senior economics major, said he started growing out his facial hair for a fraternity event. He decided to shave his beard but keep his mustache once the event ended.

Bond did not know promoting prostate cancer awareness was the reason behind the trend. No Shave November became more important once he learned its purpose, he said.

“It completely changes my perception of it,” he said. “It goes from one little social function motive to actually supporting a good cause like prostate cancer [awareness].

It definitely has a little more of an impact.”

Bond and See said they have close friends whose fathers have fought prostate cancer. They said they would grow mustaches again provided the opportunity.

Wilkins said prostate cancer is extremely common, and any sort of trend that raises awareness is a good cause.

“It’s encouraging that people are starting to speak up,” she said. “I think it’s always fun to have some sort of local thing that piques interest and raises awareness about any health issue.”

Saturday’s game was just what head coach Pat Hill ordered with Fresno State playing the closest thing to a complete game the Bulldogs have produced so far in 2011.

Fresno State played four quarters of Bulldog football, mixing a steady dose of the ground game with a downfield aerial assault to win in dominating fashion, 48-24 inside Idaho’s renovated Kibbie Dome.

The Bulldog offense made strides through the air for the second consecutive week with sophomore quarterback Derek Carr using Fresno State’s first Western Athletic Conference contest as a showcase of what kind of player he can be.

The Bulldogs’ first scoring drive consisted of a Carr air show as he found sophomore wide receiver Jalen Saunders in the back of the end zone for a 16-yard scoring strike. Carr turned his best performance of his career, connecting on 24-of-37 passes for 371 yards and five touchdowns.

Early on the Vandals gave Fresno State the tough game that many expected as the score at the end of the first quarter was a narrow 10-7 Fresno State lead.

Carr again found Saunders in the second quarter, but this time it was of the 50-plus-yard variety. Saunders’ second touchdown catch of the game gave Fresno State a 17-14 lead.

The Carr-to-Saunders two touchdowns on Saturday gave the duo four touchdowns over the past two weeks.

Saunders finished the game with five catches for a game-high 142 yards.

Idaho’s senior quarterback Brian Reader led the Vandals down the field on the next possession, finishing the drive with a 23-yard field goal by junior kicker Trey Farquhar to tie the score at 17-17 just before halftime.

With only a couple minutes remaining in the first half, Carr went to work to lead his team down the field for a score before the break. On the drive, Carr found multiple receivers to put Fresno State in scoring position. On fourth down, Carr threaded the needle and connected with tight end Marcel Jensen to give the ‘Dogs a 24-17 lead heading into the second half.

In the second half, the ‘Dogs showed improved play in all phases of the game, starting on the offensive side of the ball with Carr hitting junior wide receiver Rashad Evans for a 33-yard touchdown, giving the Bulldogs their See DOGS, Page 7

Unknown to some, jazz is America’s one true original art form. Its creation comes from the combination of Western European classical music traditions and African culture.

“Jazz is America’s original art form, the baseball of music,” Alan Durst, director of the Jazz Orchestra and Ensemble, said.

“It’s definitely not just elevator music,” Erika Gamez, a piano player in the Jazz Ensemble, added. “I think coming to a jazz concert you’ll see right away that there’s a lot of misconceptions.”

On Dec. 1, the Jazz Ensemble and the Jazz Orchestra will play their Winter Concert in the Concert Hall at 8 p.m.

The Jazz Ensemble typically plays standard big band sharps by famous composers while the Jazz Orchestra plays more contemporary jazz that has been written in the past 10 to 15 years.

“One really unique aspect of jazz is that it’s really multicultural,” Alan Durst said. “We play music where pretty much every different ethnicity is represented, whereas European classical music is only set in that region of the world.”

Jazz is not only rooted multiculturally in America, but it is also rooted and defined by the act of improvisation.

This is the big difference between commercial pop jazz and traditional jazz.

“It’s an awesome conversation that you can have,” William Melendez, saxophonist for the Jazz Orchestra, said.

“When you’re up there on the stage improvising and you have the rhythm section going on right behind you, they’re listening to you and you’re listening to them playing subtleties that you can do and we’ll pick up on that and change the groove. It’s really cool to be able to talk to somebody through your instrument.”

Durst added he tries to involve them in making perfor mance decisions

and asks them what they think, how they can change the performance and make it unique. To be a part of the jazz bands is collaborative. Melendez never thought he’d be able to play in an ensemble where he could have the opportunity to write anything or make his own decisions in terms of performance. Melendez is also in the Wind Orchestra where they play more classical music and band literature where they must stay true to the original piece 100 percent.

“You don’t get that choice [in Wind Orchestra] because it’s the director really making that choice with what that piece needs to sound like,” Melendez said.

Danny Talob, a saxophonist for the Jazz Orchestra, loves the challenge it creates. “There’s a lot of different challenges as a musician. There’s playing with the ensemble, the intonation and playing all about the same time, everything the exact same way that’s a challenge in itself,” Talob said.

“I think staying true to the music stylistically is very hard and most of what you have to do is listen, it’s all with your ears,” Talob explained. “It’s cool because I feel like you’re a group and then you have the chance to shine as an individual.”

All the musicians solos are improvised on the spot; though they practice on the underlying music they will play, they have spontaneous composition.

When they play their solo they stand up and improvise and so the listening becomes a big part of the collaboration of what they’re playing.

“It’s really unique because a solo is never the same,” Gamez said. “It’s kind of like a snowflake.”

“When you see somebody perform live it’s a completely different feel than listening to a CD because you see their faces and you see how into it they are,” Melendez said. “There’s pure emotion in it and you see the thought process as it’s happening.”

Voyeur roommate facing charges Roommate of student who killed himself charged with bias crime

by George Anastasia MCT Newswire A FORMER Rutgers University student was

indicted on April 20 on charges of bias intimidation and invasion of privacy for secretly recording and webcam streaming his roommate having a sexual encounter with another man.

The incident attracted national attention and became a famous cause in gay rights circles and beyond after the roommate, Tyler Clementi, 18, committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge days after the secret taping.

Dharun Ravi, 19, of Plainsboro, N.J., was charged in a 15-count indictment handed down by a Middlesex County grand jury and could be sentenced five to 10 years in jail if convicted of the most serious bias-crime offenses.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said the grand jury found that the taping on Sept. 19 and a second attempted taping on Sept. 21 were “intended to intimidate” Clementi because he was gay.

In a statement issued after the indictment was announced, Clementi’s family

said the charges were “important for our criminal justice system to establish clear accountability under the law ... We are eager to have the process move forward for justice in this case and to reinforce the standards of acceptable conduct in our society.”

Jane and Joseph Clementi have declined numerous requests for interviews but have said through their lawyer they hope to establish a foundation in their son’s name aimed at raising awareness about bullying, privacy rights and the Internet.

In the aftermath of Tyler Clementi’s suicide, the incident became the focal point for national discussions about gay-bashing, cyber-bullying, intimidation and privacy rights in the age of social networking.

Ravi, according to authorities, hid a camera in the room and sent a webcam stream out while Clementi had a sexual encounter with another man.

Authorities alleged Ravi was in the room of another freshman, Molly Wei, and they used her laptop to complete the transmission.

Wei, 19, was arrested with Ravi on invasion of privacy charges, but the case against her has not been submitted to a grand jury, according to a statement released by the Prosecutor’s Office on April 20.

Her lawyer has argued she did nothing

wrong or improper.

Ravi and Wei, of Princeton, N.J., withdrew from Rutgers after the incident. Lawyers for the two former students could not be reached for comment on April 20.

Ravi has been free on $25,000 bail since his arrest in October 2010.

The grand jury indictment charged him with invasion of privacy, bias intimidation and attempted invasion of privacy.

He was also charged with attempting to hinder the investigation and prosecution by changing and erasing Twitter messages and other transmissions.

Specific details about what was recorded during the taping have never been made public.

In an interview with the Newark Star-

Ledger in November 2010, lawyers for Ravi and Wei said the webcam stream had not shown Clementi and the other man having sex.

But the indictment, in the invasion of privacy charge, alleges Ravi “disclosed a photograph, film, videotape, recording or other reproduction of the image of (Clementi and the man he was meeting with) whose intimate parts were exposed or who were engaged in an act of sexual penetration or sexual contact without” their consent.

Clementi was identified in the indictment by his initials, T.C. The individual he was with was identified as M.B. chronicle@colum.edu

Koverman said websites such as LikeALittle.com, which allows students to post anonymous flirts about other students around campus, concern him. “[It] bothers me a lot of people will use that for anonymous flirting,” Koverman said. “Once you’re doing that, it can lead to physical confrontation if someone likes what someone says.”

The NCSA said cyberstalking can include repeated e-mails or texts that make a victim fearful, and three in four stalking victims are stalked by someone he or she knows.

Christopher Piatt’s “Paper Machete” combines the worlds of theater and journalism for his spoken word show.

Cutting to the point Local spoken word show combines entertainment, current events

by Brianna Wellen

Assistant Arts & Culture Editor AS THE Daley era came to a close, local news-

papers and magazines reminisced on his greatest accomplishments and biggest flops while in office. Sam Hudzik, WBEZ reporter, said he would miss the laughs Mayor Richard M. Daley brought the city.

To fill the void, he asked the six mayoral candidates for their favorite jokes to

include in his contribution to a local salon of current events and pop culture.

Every Saturday, journalists like Hudzik along with comedians, writers and musical guests, gather at Ricochet’s Tavern, 4644 N. Lincoln Ave., to present topical commentary in an entertaining way as the live magazine “Paper Machete.”

After writing about theater for Time Out Chicago for five years, Christopher Piatt decided to create his product of performance in 2009, incorporating journalism along the way.

Drawing from his days on his college speech team, Piatt created a show adopting

the “After Dinner Speech” format, a competitive public speaking event that uses humor and information to convey a point, he said.

Gathering a group of five or six people every week, Piatt asks the performers to prepare a piece in that vein.

“The key is to find a mix of people from different genres and backgrounds and give them very topical assignments,” Piatt said.

“The cumulative effect of these essays and character pieces is that of reading a magazine.”

Two frequent performers, bloggers Andy Lawfer and Eric Roach, knew Piatt from the local theater scene and are often asked to discuss local culture for “Paper Machete.”

Utilizing their sketch comedy background, they try to make their critiques humorous but also want people to think about what’s going on, Lawfer said.

“We did a piece about art vs. entertainment in Chicago, and we do it as two jerks, but we’re trying to make an actual truthful point about the state of art in the town,” Lawfer said. “Hopefully we’re actually educating people and making them laugh.”

According to Lawfer, the setup is like a model of Thomas Jefferson’s Paris salons, places where trusted leaders would voice their opinions on important political and cultural issues. The weekly shows are a place the audience comes to hear trusted voices editorialize topics of the day, not solely entertaining bits, Lawfer said. In the past, the blogging duo strayed from their usual topics of theater and did a piece on the oil spill.The show’s Feb. 19 performance was entirely based around the mayoral race.

The pieces vary each week to focus on pop culture and current events, very rarely bringing in any personal essays, Piatt said. In an attempt to differentiate what the “Paper Machete” does from

other spoken word shows, Piatt encourages writers and performers to write in the second- and third-person voice with their commentaries.

“I think there’s way too much personal disclosure by people with art degrees going on in the spoken word scene,” Piatt said.

“One of the points of our editorial direction is to get writers to take the focus off themselves and focus on other subjects and other people.”

Expanding beyond live performance, “Paper Machete” creates podcasts to post on its website of some of the most memorable guests to get the word out. Currently working with little in the way of promotion, Piatt counts on big names that come through the show—such as “Saturday Night Live”’s Paul Brittain and comedian Sarah Haskins—to draw crowds in. From there, it’s word of mouth bringing people back, resulting in a full bar nearly every week, according to Piatt.

As the show continues on, Piatt’s goal is to take cultural and political topics that a subset of America cares about and make them interesting to a wide audience. While there are no immediate plans for change in the future, Piatt said he’s prepared to adapt the show as it continues.

“We have it set up in a way it will constantly be able to evolve,” he said. “It’s a very flexible format. It can be about anything really. We try to use whatever’s going on in the news and culture that week as a jumping off point. There’s really [no] limit on what it can be.”

“Paper Machete” takes place every Saturday at 3 p.m. at Ricochet’s Tavern, 4644 N. Lincoln Ave. The show is free. For more information, visit ThePaperMacheteShow.com. bwellen@chroniclemail.com

The news of Stewart’s resignation came following weeks of speculation surrounding the West Virginia football program, which started with an alleged incident involving Holgorsen at the Mardi Gras Casino and Resort in Cross Lanes, W.Va. The allegations of the one incident quickly evolved into as many as six over the next couple of days, according to newspapers across the state.

The University opened an investigation to look into these claims and found they contained “blatant inaccuracies.”

the Athletic Department who could have released the fabricated incidents involving Holgorsen. This search was said to include Stewart.

Stewart was thought by many as the one who was leaking the stories, especially after it was revealed that he contacted reporters shortly after Holgorsen was hired and asked them to “dig up dirt” on the coach-in-waiting.

Luck admitted he felt things were beginning to shed a negative light on the team.

“The program is more important than any individual.

Clearly, this was becoming a distraction for our football program,” Luck said. “The one thing you don’t want around any program are distractions and the totality of the circumstances, the totality of all the innuendo and other things that were being said and the distractions that I believed would not come to a close prompted me to sit down with Coach Stewart over the past couple

of days and discuss these issues in a very frank and candid manner.”

After the Fiesta Bowl victory, the Mountaineers were never able to meet the expectations set for the program. When Luck hired Holgorsen in December, he said part of the reason was because he didn’t believe the Mountaineers could win a national title with Stewart at the helm.

Other than the preseason No. 8 ranking the Mountaineers had prior to Stewart’s first season, the highest a Stewart-coached WVU team was ranked in the last three seasons was when it was ranked 18th in the country prior to the 2010 Gator Bowl and finished 2010 outside of the top 25 – the first time that has happened since 2004.

Stewart leaves West Virginia with a record of 28-12 in his three seasons as the Mountaineers’ head coach.

Students also receive information about the housing where they will be staying their first year at WVU. The students will get the opportunity to speak with resident faculty leaders, resident hall assistants and possibly the chance to meet future roommates and other students in the dorms.

Records clarify Loughner’s outburst PHOENIX (AP) — A transcript in the case against the Tucson shooting rampage suspect clarifies what he likely said in an outburst during a hearing last month in which he was declared mentally incompetent to stand trial.

News reporters who witnessed the May 25 outburst had struggled to piece together what Jared Lee Loughner, 22, said after he lowered his head to within inches of the courtroom table and then lifted his head and began a loud and angry rant.

“Thank you for the free kill.

She died in front of me. Your cheesiness,” according to the transcript, which was prepared by a court reporter who had access to audio recordings of the hearing.

The Associated Press had reported on the day of the

hearing that Loughner said what sounded like, “Thank you for the freak show. She died in front of me.” Some reporters also heard him say what sounded like “You’re treasonous.”

Federal marshals then whisked out of the courtroom.

He later came back in the court and was allowed to watch the hearing on closed-circuit TV from a separate room.

Loughner has been at a federal prison facility in Springfield, Mo., since May 28 where mental health experts will try to make him psychologically fit to stand trial. He will spend up to four months there.

If Loughner is later determined to be competent enough to understand the case against him and assist his lawyers, the court proceedings will resume. If he isn’t deemed

competent at the end of his treatment, Loughner’s stay at the facility can be extended.

U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ruled that Loughner was mentally unfit to assist his lawyers in defending him. Mental health experts who examined Loughner had concluded he suffers from schizophrenia.

He has pleaded not guilty to 49 federal charges stemming from the Jan. 8 shooting at a meet-and-greet political event. U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others were wounded in the attack, and six people were killed, including a 9-year-old girl and a federal judge.

Loughner’s lawyers haven’t said whether they intend to present an insanity defense, but noted in court filings that his mental condition will likely be a central issue at trial.

Pierced-cat seller’s cruelty conviction upheld WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — An appeals court has upheld the conviction of a northeastern Pennsylvania animal groomer who tried to sell kittens with pierced ears and necks and bobbed tails.

Animal welfare workers seized three kittens and a cat from 36-year-old Holly Crawford’s Luzerne County home in 2008 after she marketed them as “gothic” online.

Crawford served six months of house arrest and was ordered to close her grooming shop for at least two years as she completed probation.

The state Superior Court ruled Monday in Harrisburg that Crawford’s animal-cruelty conviction will stand. Crawford had argued in her appeal that the state’s animal cruelty law was unconstitutionally vague and that county prosecutors presented insufficient evidence to convict her.

Oregon officer named Byrd rescues young hawk PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — It’s the kind of story that creates its own headline — Byrd Rescues Hawk.

Oregon’s KGW-TV reports that Portland Police Bureau officer Cage Byrd — his real name — spotted a young redtailed hawk standing outside a downtown hair salon on Tuesday.

The raptor chick appeared to be injured, so Byrd grabbed some towels and a box from a nearby hotel and took the hawk to a veterinary hospital.

The bird was later taken to the Audubon Society, which says the hawk probably fell from a nest near the KGW Audubon Raptor Cam. The remote camera records the activity of a raptor family and is shown on a website that has become popular.

One of the three chicks sustained a leg injury last week.

Final effort to save tiny

rabbits from extinction EPHRATA, Wash. (AP) — Wildlife experts are making one last effort to save the endangered Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit, believed extinct in the wild since mid-2004.

The pygmy rabbit is the smallest rabbit in North America, and can fit in a person’s hand. Adults weigh about a pound and measure less than a foot in length. The previous effort to reintroduce the pygmy in 2007 ended badly when they were quickly gobbled by their many predators.

Some 100 pygmy rabbits are being released this time into large wire enclosures.

The rabbits - who were raised in captivity for this last-ditch effort - must learn quickly to find food, breed and avoid being eaten. The wire enclosures give them a fighting chance to survive, scientists say.

“If this doesn’t work, I’m not sure what Plan B would be,” said Matt Monda of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, who has been working for years to save the endangered species.

Only the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit is endangered.

Pygmy rabbits thrive in other Western states and are not protected.

This recovery effort is not without some controversy.

A big concern was all the engineering that has gone into these animals, Monda said. The original goal was to preserve the genetics of the Columbia Basin rabbit, but that proved impossible because of small numbers and problems that resulted from inbreeding.

The animals in the new effort are the result of crossbreeding with other pygmy rabbits from Idaho and Oregon.

lawn care over to sheep CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania school has a woolly plan to keep its grass neatly trimmed.

The Carlisle Area School District says it can save up to $15,000 a year by turning over some landscaping chores to sheep.

The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports the district is using the sheep to keep the grass near its solar panels neatly trimmed. The sheep nibble grass in the morning and take refuge in the shade of th e panels in the afternoon.

With the food already on hand, the district need only supply the sheep with water.

A middle school assistant principal is providing the sheep. Eric Sands says he’s still trying to figure out exactly how many sheep he needs to use to keep the area clear.

Colo. balloon boy parents extend bids for balloon FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — The former Colorado couple who told authorities their son floated away in a silver helium balloon say they’re reopening the auction for the balloon because of low and fraudulent bids.

The auction website says Monday that Richard and Mayumi Heene (HEE’-nee) are extending the auction until Friday.

The Heenes announced the auction June 1 and suggested a bid of $1 million. Their attorney says all proceeds would benefit earthquake and tsunami recovery in Japan.

The delay was reported in The Coloradoan.

Authorities chased the UFO-shaped balloon in October 2009 but the 6-year-old boy wasn’t inside.

He was later found at home and authorities accused the Heenes of staging a hoax to promote possible reality TV Pa. school district turns shows.

Obama to juggle troop cuts, war team WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s longawaited decision on how many troops to bring home from Afghanistan this summer is overshadowing an impending change of arguably equal importance to the course of the war: the departure from Washington and Kabul of senior U.S. leaders with years of experience in managing the conflict.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who has presided over the Afghanistan and Iraq wars for 4½ years, is retiring next week. The top two American generals in Kabul – David Petraeus and David Rodriguez – are due to leave for new assignments as early as July.

Also departing in July is retired Army Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, the U.S. ambassador in Kabul who in 2006-07 served as the top commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

They will be replaced by men with military and national security resumes but less direct experience in Afghanistan.

This changing of the guard is not intended to steer the administration’s Afghan war policy in a new direction. Yet a fresh set of eyes and ears

could lead to new advice to the White House on how to wind down 10 years of conflict in the country that provided haven to al-Qaida prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

It coincides with Obama’s decision, to be announced Wednesday, on how to fulfill his promise to begin a withdrawal of U.S. forces in July.

He made that pledge in December 2009 when he announced he was ordering an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan in an effort to reverse the momentum of the Taliban insurgency.

A senior U.S. official said Obama is expected to withdraw roughly 10,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan this year, with about 5,000 forces leaving this summer and an additional 5,000 Americans coming home by the end of the year. Obama could also announce a timetable for recalling the 20,000 other troops he ordered to Afghanistan as part of his December 2009 decision to send reinforcements to reverse the Taliban’s battlefield momentum.

The goal remains to turn over Afghan security responsibility to the Afghans by the end of 2014. Between now and that

target date, all U.S. and other foreign troops are to be out of the country.

Gates said during a visit to Afghanistan earlier this month that it’s too soon to adjust strategy, even taking into account the impact of the May 2 killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.

Gates also has cautioned against a rapid drawdown of U.S. forces. He has argued that more time is needed to pound the Taliban to the point where its leaders will feel compelled to engage in serious peace talks. On the other hand, the administration knows the U.S. public is weary of war – its human and financial costs.

So spelling out a significant withdrawal plan could provide Obama with a political boost heading into the 2012 elections.

Leon Panetta, the CIA director who is expected to win Senate confirmation Tuesday to succeed Gates as Pentagon chief on July 1, has not been expansive in public about his views on Afghanistan. Panetta is to be replaced as head of the spy agency by Petraeus, who will retire from the Army to take that job if confirmed by the Senate.

FDA issues graphic cigarette labels RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — In the most significant change to U.S. cigarette packs in 25 years, the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday released nine new warning labels that depict in graphic detail the negative health effects of tobacco use.

Among the images to appear on cigarette packs are rotting and diseased teeth and gums and a man with a tracheotomy smoking.

Also included among the labels are: the corpse of a smoker, diseased lungs, and a mother holding her baby with smoke swirling around them. They include phrases like “Smoking can kill you” and “Cigarettes cause cancer” and feature graphic images to convey the dangers of tobacco, which is responsible for about 443,000 deaths in the U.S. a year.

Each label includes a national quit smoking hotline number.

The labels will take up the top half – both front and back – of a pack of cigarette packs. Warning labels also must appear in advertisements and constitute 20 percent of an ad. Cigarette makers have until the fall of 2012 to comply.

Mandates to introduce new graphic warning labels were part of a law passed in 2009 that, for the first time, gave the federal government authority to regulate tobacco, including setting guidelines for marketing and labeling, banning certain products and limiting nicotine.

The announcement follows reviews of scientific literature, public comments and results from an FDA-contracted study of 36 labels proposed last November.

In recent years, more than 30 countries or jurisdictions have introduced labels similar to those being introduced by the FDA. The U.S. first man-

dated the use of warning labels stating “Cigarettes may be hazardous to your health” in 1965.

Current warning labels – a small box with black and white text – were put on cigarette packs in the mid-1980s.

The FDA says the new labels will “clearly and effectively convey the health risks of smoking” aimed at encouraging current smokers to quit and discourage nonsmokers and youth from starting to use cigarettes.

“These labels are frank, honest and powerful depictions of the health risks of smoking,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement.

American Cancer Society CEO John R. Seffrin applauded the new labels in a statement, saying they have the potential to “encourage adults to give up their deadly addiction to cigarettes and deter children from starting in the first place.”

Acting W.Va. gov orders emergency Marcellus rules CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia regulators will temporarily take the lead on regulating Marcellus shale drilling while lawmakers attempt to craft long-term rules for developing this rich natural gas reserve, acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced Tuesday.

Tomblin signed an executive order that directs the Department of Environmental Protection to issue emergency rules largely focused on the hydraulic fracturing that can accompany drilling into the miledeep rock formation.

Also known as fracking, the process involves drillers pumping large amounts of water mixed with chemicals and sand into wells to crack the shale and release the gas. Environmental concerns include draining local streams to provide the water, and drinking water tainted by fracking fluids.

Both industry and environmental groups called Tuesday’s order a positive first step.

Tomblin wants DEP to require drillers to estimate water usage, and for the agency to approve any disposal of frackwater by way of public treatment plants. For wells that will draw more than 210,000 gallons of water monthly, companies would have to file water management plans that identify water sources and chemical additives, among other details.

Tomblin wrote in the order that accidental spills, “while rare, can have significant, harmful effects on our citizens, streams and rivers, and wildlife.”

“The risk to our citizens, however slight, is too great to not act swiftly to promulgate additional regulations to ensure the responsible development of the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia,” the order said.

The rules for large-scale wells would also limit water withdrawals to preserve their sources, and require properly encased wells to prevent leaks.

Poorly built gas wells have been blamed for contaminated drinking wells in neighboring Pennsylvania.

New wells that employ the unconventional horizontal drilling method often relied

This outcropping of Marcellus Shale shows a sample of joints that geologists consider when drilling for natural gas near Williamsport, Pa. on Thursday, June 16. upon by Marcellus developers must publish public notice when they fall within municipal boundaries. Several communities — Wellsburg, Lewisburg and most recently Morgantown — have barred Marcellus drilling that includes fracking. Morgantown has since been sued over its ordinance.

Among the other rules outlined by Tomblin’s order, registered engineers would have to certify site construction and sediment control plans for all well sites that will disturb three or more acres. Acting Senate President Jeff Kessler, a Marshall County Democrat who appeared alongside Tomblin and endorsed Tuesday’s move, said emergency rules would remain in effect up to 15 months. DEP Secretary Randy Huffman, also on hand, said he hoped to have rules written within a month.

West Virginia counted more than 620 Marcellus wells in

2009. While the emergency rules would apply mostly to new wells, state Independent Oil & Gas Association President John Haskins said the water withdrawal-related provisions would affect all operations going forward. Haskins and other industry representatives were among the throng that packed the governor’s Capitol reception room for Tuesday’s announcement.

Haskins said lawmakers should consider them as a framework as they pursue permanent rules on the subject.

He said Tomblin’s order sends an important, positive signal to industry.

“Capital investment for Marcellus shale is huge,” Haskins said. “If we have an uncomfortable political atmosphere in the state, that money will not come. The jobs will not be here.”

year. A House-Senate committee recently began attempting a compromise measure, with the goal of crafting legislation that could succeed in special session before 2012.

“I believe Acting Governor Tomblin is being prudent,” said House Speaker Rick Thompson, D-Wayne, in a statement.

“In the meantime, the Legislature’s Select Committee on Marcellus Shale will continue to move forward in developing some long-term guidelines for the relationship between oil and gas extractors and the owners of surface rights and mineral interests that protects the environment and ensures proper labor practices.”

The committee began its efforts Tuesday with a scientific overview of horizontal drilling and fracking. It also heard from Morgantown city council

member Bill Byrne, who while mayor oversaw passage of its Marcellus ordinance.

Byrne said the absence of legislation and hundreds of resident complaints prompted the measure, after drilling began within a mile of an area drinking water intake. He urged lawmakers to approve statewide rules, adding that Tuesday’s order appeared to address at least some water-related concerns. The committee meets again Wednesday.

Questioning whether the select committee can succeed, Don Garvin of the West Virginia Environmental Council called Tuesday’s order a good first step. He also noted that concerns over Marcellus drilling go beyond fracking, and involve such other areas as surface owner rights and damage to rural secondary roads.

“We will continue to press the Legislature for a strong bill,” Garvin said. “This will in no way provide all of the protections that are needed, and I think the governor has admitted that. He says he supports the legislative process, so I’ll take him at his word.”

Both Garvin and Corky DeMarco, executive director of the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association, cited how the rules largely reflect provisions previously considered by lawmakers. Representing the natural gas industry’s major players, DeMarco said his group has supported such proposals. He called Tomblin’s order crucial as the state pursues spinoff industries from Marcellus drilling. Those include plants that can convert a drilling byproduct, ethane, into the widely used chemical compound ethylene.

The Marcellus shale is a massive rock formation that stretches beneath West Virginia and several other states in the region. A recent study commissioned by the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that the Marcellus shale contains 410.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. By comparison, worldwide natural gas consumption reached 108 trillion cubic feet in 2007, according to the latest EIA figures.

With West Virginia facing a court-ordered special election for governor Oct. 4, GOP nominee Bill Maloney criticized Tomblin’s order as “more style than substance.” Tomblin is the Democratic candidate.

“We need a comprehensive plan on Marcellus shale regulations now,” said Maloney.

“It’s clear that Earl Ray Tomblin is unable to call legislators into a special session to pass a thought-out and detailed plan for Marcellus shale.”

Tomblin told reporters Tuesday that he’s more than willing to convene a special session if the House and Senate can find consensus.

“Obviously, it’s a very complicated issue,” Tomblin said.

“You have to start somewhere.”

Molinda fitting in with team

Junior Jackie Molinda moved to outside midfielder, making for a more cohesive team.

By Andrew Robinson COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER

Jackie Molinda has all the qualities a super-sub should have.

She’s fit. She’s fast. She’s smart. She can use both feet well and now, she’s making herself be heard.

Add all that together and the junior’s move back to outside midfielder has paid dividends for the Penn State women’s soccer team.

“She’s a really smart player, she knows what she’s doing with the ball every single time she gets it,” junior outside midfielder Maddy Evans said. “She balances being really calm and bringing energy so she brings a good tone to the field when she steps on.”

Molinda spent most of her time last season as the Nittany Lion’s starting left back on defense, but, with the arrival of freshman Kori Chapic, the junior has shifted back to her natural position as an attacker.

The junior did start the first two games of the season on the back line as the squad adjusted to the loss of forward Tani Costa.

But once the coaches decided to put sophomore Taylor Schram at forward and move Chapic to left back, Molinda moved to flanker to fill Schram’s spot in that rotation.

With redshirt freshman Emily Hurd sidelined this past weekend with a concussion, Molinda’s role became even bigger.

Molinda played 85 total minutes this weekend and brought good energy to whatever side she was placed on.

“She’s one of the fittest girls on the team and this is a position where you need to be able to run for a long period of time, so it’s really nice having her at this position because she can run forever,” Hurd said.

“Other than that, she has a great left foot and great crosses and just adds another dimension to our wide play and is such a valuable part of this team.”

In the games this past weekend, Molinda spelled senior Jess Rosenbluth on the left wing, which gave the team a dynamic onetwo punch on that flank. Where Rosenbluth plays a more technical game, Molinda is looking for ways to get by defenders and thinks the senior’s game benefits her in that regard.

“J-Ro’s very tricky and she’s a very good crosser, and I’m more of just trying to get by them any way I can,” Molinda said. “JRo takes it to them and really gets them tired and then it makes it easier for when I come in.”

Playing as much defense as she did gave the junior a new appreciation for playing the two-way game flankers are asked to do,

“She is definitely a better communicator than she was when she played flanker freshman year.”

Erica Walsh Women’s Coach

as well as a better understanding of how to be communicative. In her first two seasons, Molinda was very quiet on the field and the coaches wanted her to be more of a vocal and commanding presence.

Because defenders have to talk so much, it was only natural that Molinda started to become more vocal. Simply being louder on the field has given the junior an increased role and more touches.

“She is definitely a better communicator than she was when she played flanker freshman year,” coach Erica Walsh said.

“She’s more confident, she’s a bit stronger and she’s actually very good in the air, which hasn’t been showing a whole lot yet.”

Walsh said Molinda’s emergence, along with Hurd’s return this week is an asset to the team because it gives the Lions a fourdeep flanker rotation. Evans echoed Walsh in saying Molinda is more vocal this year, and she knows how to better play with the outside backs because of her time on the back line.

Molinda said she’d like to keep working on her crosses and Walsh wants all the flankers to go endline more often. But if this weekend was any indication, Molinda should continue to provide a needed spark off the bench.

And as she proved Sunday by finishing a good chance just after having one denied, she might even give the team a scoring punch.

“I wanted to score so bad,” Molinda said.

“I had an opportunity before then and I just felt it coming, I had to get on the end of that ball.”

A man facing 123 days worth of parking fees from the Beaver Parking Garage hired a tow truck to remove his Pontiac Grand Am this week — but a $1,968 parking ticket is not the only charge he could face if he doesn’t pay up today, the State College Police Department said.

If the man doesn’t pay his tickets — which figure out to $16 for each day his car sat in the garage — by 5 p.m. today, he will be charged with theft of services, police and State College Borough Parking Manager Charles J. DeBow said.

The car was towed out of the lot, located at 200 W. Beaver Ave., on Wednesday, police said.

Parking staff members were suspicious of the man after he bought a monthly parking pass for another vehicle, and they reminded the man about the Grand Am’s pricey parking tab, DeBow said.

“We knew he was going to remove it,” DeBow said. “People try to beat the system all the time.”

Wednesday, an employee who was monitoring the security cameras saw a tow truck exit the lot with the Grand Am attached and immediately called police, DeBow said.

But when police arrived, the tow truck was gone, he said.

DeBow said it’s not unusual for people to rack up thousands of dollars in parking tickets, but said he has never seen anyone tow a car from a garage before.

And to prevent others from cheating the system, DeBow said an employee takes inventory of all the cars in Beaver Garage between 3 and 4 a.m. every day.

This way, he said, when customers “lose” their tickets, the parking staff members know how long each car has been in the lot.

Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Centre, speaks to a group of students in the HUB on Thursday night. lized way to push policy,” he said.

He said when he was starting out to run for state representative, he wouldn’t go door to door without at least one of his kids.

“When you’re coroner, no one expects to see you at their door,” he said.

As he had more connections with the public though, it did get easier for voters to see him in a different light.

The state representative said he is always learning something new, especially when it comes to technology. Though Benninghoff has a Facebook site, he said nothing compares to talking to people face-to-face because of the exposure it gives for those wanting to

get involved with local government.

“They said if you could drive a car, you could explore the world,” he said. “It’s that way with a computer.”

Another good trait of local government Benninghoff said was taking responsibility for one’s actions, and being able to own up for what was said.

Benninghoff said he met a close friend after a disagreement a few years ago.

“People like candid,” he said.

Benninghoff said writing letters can only get so far, but actually meeting local candidates and talking with them is a huge way to start getting involved in local gov-

ernment, and government as a whole.

Sam Settle, chair of YAF, said he was happy Benninghoff came to talk with the club.

“He is the type of representative that we want and want to work with,” Settle (junior-policital science) said.

Other members of YAF, like Dylan White, said it was good to have Benninghoff come out to speak to the group.

“It was wonderful to have a local rep come out and talk to us,” White (sophomore-health policy) said. “It feels like it validates the club a bit.”

State College drilling ban added to ballot

By Lynn Ondrusek COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER

This Election Day, voters in the State College Borough will have the chance to give a thumbs-up or down to a potential ban on Marcellus Shale drilling.

This past summer, the environmental rights group Groundswell petitioned for signatures to add to the local bill of rights and natural gas drilling ban on the November ballot for the borough. The referendum was approved by the Centre County Board of Elections at its Aug. 29 meeting.

The vote will be one of the first environmental rights votes in Pennsylvania, following Pittsburgh’s ban on natural gas drilling on the basis of rights. In this case, the basis of rights includes a right to clean water

A rig emerges from a farm in Pa. and clean air, Groundswell founder Braden Crooks said.

Crooks, Class of 2011, said the drilling industry is moving at a rapid pace, expanding drilling to many areas in the state. The ban would also keep hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” outside of State College.

The rights would provide a local

voice to stop drilling. State College Borough Council member Theresa Lafer said she feels the bill of rights is completely necessary for the community and sees it as a way of protecting the environment in the borough.

Though Lafer said it is a moot point for the borough because there is no natural gas under the borough itself, the borough should be protected. Crooks said the protection against drilling would not only protect the borough from Marcellus Shale drilling, but also Utica drilling in the future of natural gas.

Mayor Elizabeth Goreham said it is an appropriate move to put before the people of State College.

“I think it fits well with the direction of our town, and protecting our resources,” she said. “I also think the community bill of

Hundreds of students rush the court after Saturday night’s women’s volleyball game against USC held in Rec Hall. Penn State rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Trojans, 3-2.

Why not rush Fans should save storming the court? the court for big upsets

By Matt Howland

By Stephen Pianovich

A

FTER two sets against No. 2 USC on Saturday, Penn State’s No. 1 ranking was looking like a joke, smashed to pieces by unranked Oregon and about to be swept out the door in three consecutive sets by USC. Then, the Nittany Lions dug deep and pulled out something magical. With the Rec Hall crowd hoping that Penn State would find a way to do the impossible — win three straight sets — they felt that magic and responded with a roar worthy MY OPINION of Beaver Stadium.

A roar that carried the Lions to victory. A roar that continued after Deja McClendon’s final kill clinched the comeback and after the students and fans came onto the court to celebrate the momentous victory.

The fans were such a motivating factor for the Lions that Rose opened his post-game press conference by saying it was the best crowd he’s ever seen coaching volleyball, and referred to the entire match as an event in time.

So why shouldn’t the 18th member of the team get to celebrate with the rest of the squad?

And, really, what was the harm?

When it came time for the players to leave the floor after a few minutes of on-court celebration, the students opened a lane and let the players leave without offering them anything more troubling than high-fives.

And don’t get it wrong — this win was worthy of rushing the court. To find a win as dramatic as the Rec Hall fans saw on Saturday by this team, you have to go back two seasons to the NCAA national championship against Texas when the Lions accomplished a similar feat in coming back from two sets down to win the match.

And to find a win more important? It’s hard to think of one. You could argue that any of the various national championships assembled by this team take the cake, and you might be right.

But over the course of three sets Saturday night, we saw a dramatic change. A losing team, crippled by inexperience and a lack of leadership, proved they could be a foundation already capable of beating their best opposition — and most of the key players are underclassmen.

Playing like they did last night, the team — under the expert coaching of Rose — could reel off three straight titles and it wouldn’t be a surprise.

So did the over-excited fanatics rushing the court make too much of an early win that could prove meaningless over the course of the season?

No. The fans got to share an amazing moment in time with their classmates in celebration of what happened, and what may happen yet.

R

EC Hall was electric on Saturday night.

In what Russ Rose called the greatest crowd he’s seen in his 33 years of coaching, over 6,000 people were on hand to watch the top two ranked teams in the country face off.

MY OPINION Some fans left after Penn State dropped the first two sets, but the ones who stuck around were treated to a great match.

They were loud and fun, but they did one thing wrong after the Nittany Lions’ win — they rushed the court.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and place to storm the court, but Saturday was not it.

Penn State’s victory was definitely surprising. After losing to Oregon on Friday and being down 0-2 early Saturday, I did not see the young Lions even winning a set, let alone the match.

But a storming of the court should happen after big upsets or when a team wins a game that they are heavily favored to lose.

If at any time there is a match that involves a court storming and Penn State women’s volleyball team, that match should not happen in Rec Hall.

Penn State has won the last four national championships and the team was ranked first in the country at the time of Saturday’s match.

Fans should expect this team to win games — even against a highlyranked opponent.

If at any time there is a match that involves a court storming and Penn State women’s volleyball team, that match should not happen in Rec Hall.

And to make matters worse, when only a few hundred kids rush the court after a victory, it doesn’t look very impressive on television or in photographs.

Unfortunately, the court-storming scene is nothing new in Happy Valley.

The Penn State men’s basketball team has knocked off some ranked opponents in the Bryce Jordan Center in the past couple of years and fans have ran on the court afterward.

There have been instances where storming the Jordan Center floor seems reasonable (see Illinois ’09).

And there have been some instances where storming the court looks pretty stupid (see Michigan State ’11).

And even though I think it’s reasonable that fans ran onto the court after the Penn State men’s basketball team beat Illinois in 2009, the leader of that team was vocal about the fact that he didn’t.

Former Penn State basketball standout Jamelle Cornley did not want students to rush the court after the Illinois win, explaining it was because he thought it was disrespectful to his team.

So women’s volleyball fans, keep coming to games, and keep being loud.

But the next time the team wins an important game, take a page out of Cornley’s book and keep the celebrating in the stands.

The State College Police Department said officials fielded a total of 186 calls and issued 74 citations — ranging from disorderly conduct to DUI charges — the first weekend of the semester.

Police said the numbers of students consuming alcohol is on par with past years. They are seeing people consuming more alcohol in one sitting, resulting in higher blood alcohol content levels.

Police also said the State College Police Department responded to 15 alcohol-related calls over the weekend where medical assistance was needed for the response.

Between Aug. 19 and Aug. 26, Mount Nittany Medical Center treated 27 Penn State students for alcohol-related issues, Mount

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 31, 2011 | 3

Nittany Medical Center spokeswoman Elle Morgan said.

The medical center treated six students for alcohol-related issues from Aug. 1-Aug. 18, Morgan said.

University Police also released crime statistics for the first week of the semester, responding to 72 incidents — a number that seems to be consistent with past years.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, University Police responded to 68, 64 and 65 incidents, respectively, during the first week back for students.

Despite a small increase in the overall total incidents over last

year’s figures, University Police said they responded to more than two times the amount of campus drug law violation incidents than last year.

State College Police Department Lt. Keith Robb said the weekend was “on par” as far as crime activity compared to other weekends when students are in town.

The rain Saturday night may have washed away some of the crime that would have normally occurred because less people were in the streets past midnight, Robb said.

To email reporter; amo937@psu.edu.

At least six unlocked apartments along South Atherton Street were burglarized in the past week — two on Thursday night and four on Sunday night, the State College Police Department said Tuesday.

All of the burglaries reported took place at The Lion, 245 S. Atherton St., and The Collegian, 217 S. Atherton St., apartment complexes, police said.

The total estimated value of the loss for the four burglaries Sunday night is more than $4,800, police said.

The first set of burglaries occurred Thursday night when someone entered two unlocked apartments, police said.

A MacBook laptop, a smart phone and a wallet were stolen from an apartment in The Lion.

Two iPods were stolen from an apartment in The Collegian, police said.

Four additional burglaries were reported to have occurred Sunday

night in residences along South Atherton Street.

A PlayStation 3 game console, an Xbox 360 and games were stolen from two different, unlocked apartments in The Lion on Sunday night, police said.

Another PlayStation 3 and two more Xbox consoles, along with games, were stolen from two more unlocked apartments in The Collegian, police said.

State College Police Department Lt. Keith Robb said these types of burglaries are “common” at this time of year when students are getting used to living in their new apartments.

“Usually at the beginning of the semester or during breaks, opportunists will go through buildings and look for unlocked doors,” Robb said.

Police said the burglaries may be related and are under investigation as one course of conduct.

Police said anyone with information on the burglaries can contact State College Police Department with details. More information will be released if someone is identified in connection with the burglaries, police said.

Rick Santorum makes appearance at Grange Fair questions, shook hands and took pictures with others at the fair in anticipation of his appearance at Penn State.

“I’m traveling through Pennsylvania, and it’s always entertaining to me to mix it up with the students,” Santorum said.

Santorum said he was excited to get the chance to deliver his message to the Penn State community.

“I’m trying to get folks who might be interested in helping out with my campaign to help,” Santorum said.

He said he also hopes to address the jobs and economy, as those are areas that spark students’ interest.

Before heading to an appearance at his alma mater, Republican presidential candidate and Penn State alumnus Rick Santorum stopped by the Grange Fair in Centre Hall, Pa. There, he said his run for presidency was the “little engine that could” campaign.

“We are gaining support slowly but surely,” Santorum said, with a laugh during his appearance at the fair, which runs through Sept.

1.

Santorum stayed true to that message as he visited with local residents and fairgoers.

He spoke at 3:45 p.m. in the Republican tent in front of a small group of people. He answered

Santorum told the crowd he thought the national media ignored his campaign because of their lack of money.

“In the end, we think we will be the one that wins this nomination,” Santorum said. “The national polls don’t determine who the nominees are. We are going to do well in Iowa, and that’s what matters.”

Though he said his campaign has a budget of less than $1 million, Santorum said many presidential candidates, including John

Central Susquehanna Valley resident Randy Watts said he was excited to see Santorum.

“My wife and I have always been supporters of his platform and his boldness for issues,” Watts said. “He is always very honest.

There is never a question of corruptness.”

Watts said the issue that was most important to him was education, as he is a retired schoolteacher.

“I’ve always favored the Republican side when it comes to

issues of education,” Watts said.

And though State College resident Phil Lucas thought Santorum was a good senator, he was less sure of Santorum’s chances of winning.

“I think he’s a nice guy, but I don’t have much hope for him making it,” Lucas said. “There are stronger candidates than him.”

State College residents Joy Barbara and David Barbara said they were glad the Grange Fair served as a public forum for politicians.

Both said they had previously talked to Rep. Scott Conklin, DCentre, at the fair.

“I think it’s good [Santorum’s] coming out and talking to people,” Joy Barbara said.
