Bowling Green sophomore Brandon Peay, a mayoral candidate, holds hands with girlfriend and New Orleans sophomore Kristin Thames on Tuesday at Buffalo Wild Wings after hearing election results. Peay received 266 votes, good enough for 3.18 percent of the vote.

PEAY

CONTINUED FROM FRONT

“[Brandon] is already ready for 2012,” Thames joked.

While he isn’t sure that he will run in 2012, Peay said that he will definitely run for political office again in the future. “[Politics] aren’t really my future, per say, but I want more along the lines of what Rand Paul has — a normal four year term, not a career politician,” he said. “That’s what’s wrong with Washington right now. We have career politicians who don’t want to change their policies.”

Rand Paul, a Republican U.S. Senator from Kentucky, is currently in the first year of his six-year term.

Despite the loss, Peay said he will keep his dream of being mayor alive. If elected to mayor in the future, and if he liked the job, Peay said that he would consider possibly running for a higher office.

Although he doesn’t want a career in politics, Peay would like to continue pursuing a nursing degree and do something with it in the future.

“As a nursing major, I want low cost health care for individuals who may not be able to afford it,” he said.

Thames said that she is also glad Peay had the experience of running.

“I think he did really well,” she said. “I’m

very proud of him.”

She also helped out with his campaign finances.

“I made him get window chalk,” Thames said. “Actually, I bought it for him.”

The $6 spent on window chalk, along with the $50 entrance fee for the election, was all Peay spent on his campaign. He decorated his car windows with the chalk, but said that he also used social media to get his name out.

Peay said that his lack of experience was probably a contributing factor to the loss.

However, he said he has no regrets and wishes Wilkerson luck as the city’s next mayor.

Results for Bowling Green mayoral race ■ Bruce Wilkerson won with 4,666 votes, capturing 55.6 percent of the electorate.

■ Joe Denning received 3,466 votes, capturing 41.3 percent of the electorate.

■ Brandon Peay received 266 votes which was good enough for 3.2 percent of voters.

■ NEWS BRIEF WKU alumni win two elections Melinda Hill won the city commission election by an overwhelming 55 percent.

Robin Baldwin came in second with 16 percent of the vote.

This was a special election for the position. Hill was appointed to the commission in March after Joe Denning took over as mayor for former mayor Elaine Walker.

Hill obtained a Master of Business Administration from WKU and is currently a computer informations systems instructor.

PRE-MED CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Steven Milesko, an Elizabethtown senior, said medical students often practice surgery on pig parts because of the similarities between swine skin and human skin.

“Pig skin has the same consistency as human skin in terms of firmness,” Milesko said. He said that medical students also frequently use pigs’ hearts to practice the heart valve replacement procedure.

Bretz said the honor society’s annual pig suturing lab started last year and proved to be a popular event.

“It’s something we’re going to try to keep doing every year,” Bretz said.

Many of the students in the laboratory protected their hands with latex, but some students chose to forego the gloves. McCreary senior Adam Swiger said he did not mind touching the severed pigs’ feet.

“We just go with bare hands and skip all that stuff,” said Swiger.

Republican James Comer won the election for Commissioner of Agriculture, defeating Democrat Bob Farmer.

Comer is an alumnus of WKU, where he majored in agriculture with a minor in government. While attending WKU, Comer was Kentucky State Future Farmers of America president. He also received the Mercantile Exchange Scholarship, awarded to the top four college agriculture students in the nation.

— Natalie Hayden He said that AED has had local physicians, dentists and surgeons as guest speakers throughout the semester.

Bretz said that AED is planning on holding more interactive workshops for its members. She said that earlier in the semester, AED had an intubation lab where a member of the Ohio County Emergency Medical Service showed the students how to intubate a patient using a mannequin.

“Later this semester, we might do some child psychology case studies — stuff like that,” Bretz said.

Crawford, who guided the students through the workshop, is a physiology professor and the director of WKU’s pre-medical program. He said it was early for the students to be practicing suturing, but that the value of the pigs’ feet lab was not really about gaining surgical skills. He said the real purpose is for the students gain a taste of what medical school might hold for them.

“I think what it does is give them a light at the end of the tunnel,” Crawford said. “It gives them something to look forward to — something to get excited about.”

Horoscopes: Today’s Birthday (10/06/11). Love plays a big part in the near future, whether it’s love of beauty or a romantic relationship. When you feel the urge to create something artistic, go for it. It takes courage and focus. Follow your dreams, and share them with those you most appreciate.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 9 -- The stress you’ve been under is easing now. You can make anything happen through strong (not loud) communication. Be thoughtful and considerate, and gently repeat if needed.

news ELECTION FROM PAGE 1

Bank of America will no longer charge monthly $5 fee to users bank by students, faculty and administrators.

Even if the fees had gone into effect, some students believed that they nevertheless would have continued using Bank of America out of convenience.

“Bank of America is very convenient for us and there is a high switching cost, and if I had another card, I’d have to take the ATM fees into account anyways,” junior Peter Birke said.

Still, Birke is pleased about the removal of the fees.

“As someone who has a Bank of America account, I am happy that they changed their mind,” Birke said.

Freshman Jason Silberman agreed it would not be financially beneficial to switch to a different bank.

“The fees that you would have to pay with a different card trying to withdraw money from an ATM

JACK MARSHALL STAFF REPORTER

In a reversal of a decision announced last month, Bank of America announced Tuesday that it will not charge customers a $5 monthly fee for using a debit card to purchase items.

The Bank’s initial decision announced on Oct. 1 sparked considerable backlash among its customers; an online petition against the fees at change.org received more than 300,000 signatures before Bank of America announced the retraction of the fee. The planned monthly $5 charge was set to go into effect in January.

Bank of America has a branch at Washington University, as well as multiple ATM machines on all of University campuses; as a result, it is by far the most convenient and most often-used

would probably even out with the $5 fee for using it,” he said.

Freshman Nathaniel Simon was skeptical of the motives behind Bank of America’s retraction of the fees. Prior to Bank of America’s announcement, Wells Fargo and Chase announced plans to retract their similar $3 fees due to the large consumer backlash, which was preceded Bank of America’s announcement.

Unlike Bank of America, both Wells Fargo and Chase had already put a pilot program in place to test the efficacy of the monthly fee.

“The fact that they all had these plans at the same time made me curious about whether they were trying to appease the people by saying that they were going to do this and then not doing it,” Simon said. “I am a little bit skeptical about how great it is in the grand scheme of things.”

DEBATE FROM PAGE 1 debate, then Executive Director of the Commission on Presidential Debates, Janet Brown, praised the University.

“This campus is the gold standard for debates,” she said.

Earlier this year, Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton told Student Life that he thought it was unlikely that the University would be chosen to host another debate.

“I think the prospects are low because we’ve been selected in every presidential election since 1992, but we’re ready to do it if we’re selected…but it has been

proven that other places can do it well also,” he said.

Many students are disappointed that the University was not chosen to host this year.

“This year, the election is going to interesting. It would be interesting to see them talk,” junior Max Liu said. “I would have rather been selected.”

Students said they would have appreciated the excitement and discussion surrounding debates.

“I think that Wash. U. is a great place for the presidential debate because the school draws a large

diversity of people and diversity of thought,” junior Rachel Tyroler said. “I think it’s a great way to engage the student body in politics.”

Others said they were not particularly upset by the announcement.

“I’m kind of unfazed by it. It’d be nice to have it here, but I’m not going to hit the streets and freak out about it,” senior Whit Chapman said.

In 2008 the University hosted the debate between vice presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin.

“If you are able to recruit a lot of people to run, that will ultimately get you a higher voter turnout because people feel they are more legitimate,” she said. “It was interesting to see…how students voted when they actually had a choice in who was representing them.”

In addition to a large quantity of votes, many of the races were close. The elections resulted in freshmen taking numerous Senate and Treasury seats to and the passing all three proposed constitutional amendments—including a proposal to shrink SU Senate.

Freshman Shane Carr in the School of Engineering & Applied Science won his Senate seat by a single vote, and freshman Stephanie Wang narrowly won her spot on Treasury by two votes.

Two write-in candidates tied for the one art school Senate seat, and after a discussion with both candidates, Rubin gave the seat to freshman Michael Tarazi.

“It says a lot when the next person who would have won lost by one or two votes; every vote does count,” Rubin said.

The three constitutional amendments that passed will remove mentions of the nonexistent Equipment Committee from the SU constitution, reassign the role of overseeing the Diversity Affairs Council to the VP of Administration and shrink SU Senate from 28 to 22 seats over the coming year.

All incumbent Treasury representatives were re-elected, and 10 freshmen were elected overall.

BIG 12

TCU will consider accepting Big 12 bid

By Ryan Osborne and Lexy Cruz TCU 360

The wheels may be in motion for a TCU move to the Big 12 Conference, but nothing will be official until university leaders meet to confirm the school’s invitation acceptance. And so far, that hasn’t happened.

The TCU board of trustees had not scheduled an official meeting by Thursday evening to discuss the university’s possible move to the Big 12, according to Chancellor Victor Boschini.

Boschini wrote in an e-mail that no meeting had been scheduled as of Thursday night.

But that could change, he wrote.

ESPN Dallas has reported the meeting could be as early as Friday.

Big 12 officials voted unanimously Thursday morning to extend an invitation to TCU. The offer, which would go into effect for the 2012-13 school year, was confirmed in a statement from the conference Thursday: Acting upon a unanimous recommendation of its expansion subcommittee, the Big 12 Conference board of directors has authorized negotiations with Texas Christian University to become the conference’s 10th

member and instructed Interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas to immediately begin discussions with TCU. The action of the board was without dissent. On the advice of legal counsel, the University of Missouri did not participate in the vote.”

“It will allow us to return to old rivalries, something our fans and others have been advocating for many years. As always, we must consider what’s best for TCU and our student-athletes in this ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics. We look forward to continuing these discussions with the Big 12.”

Boschini acknowledged that the university is in talks with the Big 12.

“These discussions with the Big 12 have huge implications for TCU,” Boschini said in an e-mail statement sent from Director of Media Relations Mark Cohen. “It will allow us to return to old rivalries, something our fans and others have been advocating for many years. As always, we must consider what’s best for TCU and our studentathletes in this ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics. We look forward to continuing these discussions with the Big 12.”

The rivalries Boschini mentioned would be ones rekindled from the old Southwest Conference, which housed TCU and several other Texas schools for more than 60 years before it broke up in 1996.

According to the statement, TCU would not comment further on the issue Thursday.

TCU is scheduled to join the Big East conference July 1, 2012. Should the university decide to opt-out of that deal, it might have to pay a buyout fee of $5 million.

Up until today, TCU officials would not even ac-

Conference change “great for TCU” SWC rivalries could be renewed

By Lauren Galippo

By Ryan Osborne

Staff Reporter

The 2010 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Coach of the Year said he was excited about the possibility of joining the Big 12 Conference.

Head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle’s team has had a great deal of success in recent years, including an opportunity to play in the College World Series.

“It’s great for TCU. It certainly would be a culmination of a lot of hard work and sacrifice by many, many people over a long period of time to put TCU and the athletic department in this position,” Schlossnagle said.

“From a baseball standpoint, I’m excited to compete against some of the very best programs that college baseball has to offer.”

The move to join the Big 12 would not be the first time the TCU baseball team has competed against potential conference opponents.

Schlossnagle led his team to the best-of-three super regional series in Austin, forcing a decisive game three against the Longhorns in 2010.

But the success did not end there.

The Horned Frogs made it to the semifinals of the College World Series, where they defeated Florida State University twice due in part to Matt Curry’s grand slam securing the second win.

Bryan Holaday scores as against California State Bakersfield catcher Jeremy Rodriguez waits for a throw during game action at Lupton Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday, May 22, 2010.

Their win against Florida State ensured an advancement to the semifinals, but the team was unable to defeat the Bruins at Rosenblatt Stadium, placing No. 3 in the CWS. If the Frogs decide to move to the Big 12, TCU coaches like Schlossnagle and head football coach Gary Patterson could be certain of one thing — recruits.

The football team already

has another top 25 recruiting class for the 2012 season.

But the athletic programs at TCU are not the only ones who would benefit from a move to the Big 12.

The decision to join the conference would mean TCU would receive $18 million: an amount significantly larger than the $1-2 million the university receives from the Mountain West, according to ESPN Dallas.

As recent as Monday, Chancellor Victor Boschini indicated that TCU was committed to the Big East Conference and was looking forward to joining the conference in July of 2012.

But that all changed Thursday when Big 12 Conference officials voted unanimously to extend an invitation to the university.

And with that, TCU’s search for a home might be over.

School officials will consider joining the Big 12 in the coming days, a move that could signal the end of a 15-year journey toward conference stability.

TCU had been a mainstay in the old Southwest Conference, joining the conference in 1923 and staying there more than 60 years.

But after the SMU scandals of the late 1980s and the introduction of the Bowl Championship Series in the mid-90s, the conference split in 1996.

The University of Texas, Texas A&M University, Baylor University and Texas Tech University found a home in the new, BCS-sanctioned Big 12 while TCU was left to find a place in the world of nonautomatic qualifiers.

Since then, TCU has bounced from the Western Athletic Conference to Conference USA to the Mountain West Conference to the Big East and now, presumably, the Big 12. If TCU does in fact join the Big 12, its odyssey, ironi-

cally, will end in the conference that started it.

But how did it get to this point? What happened in the past 15 years that would cause TCU to switch conferences three times, find the right one in the Big East, then switch again before even joining the conference?

Well, the answer lies more in what’s happened in the past two years.

When the University of Nebraska announced its intention to leave the Big 12 in the summer of 2010, the entire college athletics landscape began to shift. The Cornhuskers went to the Big 10, the University of Colorado went to the Pacific-10 Conference, and the Big 12—reduced to 10 members— was left weakened.

But the dominoes did not stop there.

The University of Utah soon followed Colorado to the Pac12, and BYU went Independent. The Big East, looking to keep up more than get ahead in the conference realignment game, invited TCU, and the Frogs gladly accepted, joining a BCS-conference and leaving a crumbling Mountain West Conference behind them.

So, things were set. But then, over the summer, it had been rumored that Texas A&M wanted to leave the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.

And A&M did, formally announcing its decision two weeks ago. That left the Big 12 with nine schools and the possible defection of Missouri, whose governing board met

Tuesday and decided to explore other conference options.

Adding TCU made perfect sense.

Geographically speaking, TCU’s location is in the heart of Big 12 country. Plus, TCU essentially would replace Texas A&M as the conference’s fourth Texas school.

And on the TCU side of things, the Big 12’s invitation could not have come at a better time.

The University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University recently announced their decisions to leave the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference. Big East presidents and Boschini convened in Washington, D.C. Oct. 2 to discuss the future of the weakened conference, now reduced to seven football-playing schools, including TCU. The immediate reaction from Big East Commissioner John Marinatto was positive. The presidents in attendance were committed to expanding and strengthening the conference, Marinatto said.

Still, though, after this year’s round of conference shuffling, the Big East has come out on the short end in terms of stability. The Big 12 could have very well taken that same path—and still might. If anything definite has come out of the previous two years, it’s that change is the only constant in college football.

The Big 12 realized this and made its own changes by doing something it should have done 15 years ago: inviting TCU to the party.

“I think it would be better because a lot of the schools are in the area.

It’ll be better like back in teh old times when we used to be the Southwest Conference. Besides, the Big East is kind of breaking apart. It’ll be better to stay in the area and play against Texas every year.”

Board of trustees member John Davis said he was thrilled to hear about the Big 12 Conference extending an invitation to TCU. “I’m excited about the news, and I’m excited that we have the invitation,” he said. “I think we need to talk about it as the board of trustees, but I’m very excited that the invitation has been offered to us.”

Davis did not know when the board of trustees would meet to discuss whether the university would accept the Big 12

invitation.

Chancellor Victor Boschini Jr. sent an e-mail to each of the trustees, alerting them about the invitation and that conversations would begin shortly.

Davis said that Boschini would be the one to decide when the board of trustees would gather.

“He’s in charge.” Davis said. “He tells us when to meet.”

Davis declined to say if he would vote for TCU to join the Big 12 when the board meets.

“I’m not going to commit one way or the other right now,” he said.

Big 12 schools express support for TCU

By Andrea Masenda Opinion Editor

News of a proposed invitation extended Thursday morning from the Big 12 Conference to TCU has sparked reactions from students, athletic teams and universities across the country.

The Big 12 issued a statement Oct. 6, explaining its decision to welcome TCU into the conference.

“Acting upon a unanimous recommendation of its expansion subcommittee, the Big 12 Conference board of directors this morning authorized negotiations with Texas Christian University to become the conference’s 10th member and instructed Interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas to immediately begin discussions with TCU. The action of the board was without dissent. On the advice of legal counsel, the University of Missouri did not participate in the vote.”

Big 12 member and TCU rival Baylor University issued a statement from the Athletic Director, Ian McCaw, expressing their agreement with the conference’s choice.

“The Big 12 has made significant progress today in restoring stability to its membership. We are grateful for the leadership of Interim

Commissioner Chuck Neinas along with the Big 12 board of directors for today’s decisive action. Baylor President Ken Starr has played an extremely important role in this effort.

“Baylor highly values its more-than-century-old rivalry with TCU. Fans from both schools will be able to take advantage of the close proximity of the institutions in supporting their teams at future games.”

“TCU is an excellent fit for the Big 12 in terms of its excellent academics, its top-notch athletic programs and its proximity to the other members of the conference.

Burns Hargis President of OSU

President of Oklahoma State University Burns Hargis also released an encouraging statement about the future and how TCU’s academic and athletic abilities will add to the success of the conference.

“We have successfully addressed some critical issues and today have taken important steps forward for the

future of the Big 12 Conference. Our member institutions have worked diligently to bring stability to one of the nation’s premier conferences.

We still have work to do and will continue to do everything necessary to ensure the future of the Big 12 is brighter than it has ever been.

“We are delighted to extend an invitation to Texas Christian University to join the conference. TCU is an excellent fit for the Big 12 in terms of its excellent academics, its top-notch athletic programs and its proximity to the other members of the conference. We look forward to the Horned Frogs becoming a member of the Big 12.”

Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger of the University of Kansas said that the addition of the Horned Frogs would prove beneficial to all involved.

“This is a good day for the Big 12 Conference,” Zenger said. “The news of granting of rights and equal revenuesharing and league expansion bears testament to the hard work of our board of directors and the stability subcommittee within the Big 12 Conference.”

“We all believe that Texas Christian University is a great addition to the Big

12,” Zenger said. “Their geographic pr oximity to the rest of the schools, their academic credibility, and their athletic achievements make them an obvious fit.”

“The University of Kansas has a strong alumni base in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and continues to attract students from that area, as well,” he said. “For us as an institution, that’s an additional benefit of this news.”

More approval for TCU’s

invitation came from statements issued from the University of Oklahoma’s President David Boren and the University of Texas’ Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds.

“TCU is an excellent choice as a new member of the conference. They bring strong athletics and academic credentials and were enthusiastically and unanimously supported by all of the members of the conference. There could be other additions in the fu-

ture,” Boren said.

“We’re proud that TCU has been invited to join the Big 12. Their commitment to academics and success on the field make them an excellent fit. With a solid budget and strong financial support, they have been proactive at improving facilities. Their close proximity to all conference institutions makes for a comfortable travel situation,” Dodd said.

Sports PERSPECTIVES The Skiff View Big 12 officials Big 12 could be the give offer to right choice for TCU TCU that they can’t refuse The great conference shuffle has taken another

dramatic turn, and it looks like TCU is going to come out smelling like roses. Roses that are out $5 million, sure, but roses nonetheless.

The Big 12 conference has officially offered TCU a bid for membership, putting the university in a position to play teams like OU, OSU, Texas, Texas Tech and other traditionally elite football programs. Of course, this would require TCU to bail on the Big East before the first game was even played.

But there is really no reason not to leave the Big East and run to the open arms of the conference that had previously slammed its door in our face.

The Big 12 offers us the same AQ status that the university was leaving the MWC for anyway. The prestige that is associated with a top football conference is something that would have been distinctly missing after the move to the Big East. These teams are also traditional rivals, dating back to the days of the Southwest Conference, which offers a guarantee for TCU to keep playing those Bears down in Waco.

This move also offers fans, geographically, a much better reason to head out to away games and support the Frogs. It’s a better situation for fans who want to go to games to drive down to Austin than the trek out to Syracuse.

Gary Patterson is always looking to get fans out to games, noticing that home games often empty at halftime. Away games that are easy to travel to would make fan support that much easier.

With all the benefits of moving, it’s hard to think about the negatives of ditching the Big East. The main one that comes to mind is the $5 million that the university would have to pay to leave. Granted, it’s an amount easily achievable by TCU, but the fact that it comes in the middle of a $143 million stadium renovation kind of hurts.

Also, Chancellor Victor Boschini and Gary Patterson have both claimed loyalty to the Big East as recently as this past week.

Even with these obstacles, the Big 12 move seems to be the most logical choice. It just offers too many strong positives.

With the benefit of increased fan presence at away games and a chance to compete in one of the premiere football conferences along with a slew of other positives for TCU, the Big 12 would be another step on the road to national greatness.

J.D. Moore The TCU faithful cheered ecstatically last November as the athletics department announced the conference move to the Big East Conference.

Now, after Thursday’s news that an invite to the Big 12 may be in hand, these same fans should be cheering even louder.

The Big 12 comes with bigger and better benefits than a move to the Big East.

One of those benefits is obviously the increased competition.

By joining the Big 12, almost every old Southwest Conference rival is back on TCU’s regular season schedule. Instead of obscure teams like University of South Florida and Rutgers University, who have no history with the Horned Frogs, TCU will get to take on famed rivals, such as Baylor, Texas Tech and even the Texas Longhorns, on a yearly basis.

With these marquee games coming in on a weekly basis, expect Amon Carter Stadium to be sold out every home game.

Gone will be the days of playing cupcakes like Portland State University and The University of Louisiana-Monroe.

Those games will be replaced with high-quality, meaningful games.

Instead of seeing only the diehard fans and a handful of the season ticket holders, every fan, casual and serious, in the DallasFort Worth area will swarm to the newly renovated ‘Camden Yards’ of college football.

No TCU fan could pass up a chance to see the Horned Frogs play the Oklahoma Sooners or the Longhorns on TCU’s home turf. It’s competitive and filled with history.

Even if the game is on the road, the Big 12 is localized enough for TCU that Horned Frog fans can easily make the drive to Norman, Okla., Austin or wherever else to watch some excellent conference play.

Compare all these factors to TCU’s other possible conference, the Big East. With Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference and University of Connecticut and Rutgers supposedly looking at leaving the conference, who does this leave for Big East competition? Well, almost nobody.

Even if the conference does expand, there’s no way any fan can defend the notion that East Carolina University or

any of the military academies will build competition in that conference. It’s simply not possible.

These schools provide little program prestige, they’re thousands of miles away, and they have no history with TCU. Unlike competition in the Big 12, opponents in the Big East bring absolutely nothing to the table.

Another benefit the Big 12 gives TCU is a better spot of national recognition and power.

TCU will no longer be playing the “Little Sisters of the Poor.” They won’t be playing in the “Big Least,” as some critics like to call the Big East. Instead, they will play in a widely-recognized conference against Bowl Championship Series titans day in and day out.

Remember when Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville infamously explained why the Red Raiders backed out of playing against TCU earlier this year?

“TCU isn’t the type of team that we want to play right now.”

In the Big 12, that excuse will be rendered void and useless. TCU will play BCS-quality talent on a weekly basis and will definitively prove to the nation that the Horned Frogs are a capable competitor.

If all this wasn’t good enough, the last major benefit that comes from moving to the Big 12 is a financial one.

Revenue sharing in the Big 12 is amaz-

ing, far better than the Big East.

Under the current plan, each school will get $18-20 million each year from the Big 12 television contracts. TCU will be fully phased into this plan in two to three years and will be making far more than what they could in the Big East.

If the Frogs were to compete in the Big East, revenue would be significantly less.

As of now, the Big East has no set television contract. If the last contract is to be a benchmark, it’s still substantially less than the Big 12.

The last Big East contract gave individual teams revenue in the area of $10 million annually. The next TV contract would be only slightly higher, if that.

In a mind of a businessman, it makes great sense. In a fan’s perspective, it’s even better. Rivals are back, money is greater and TCU’s program will only get better from this move.

The move to the Big East was a great idea last November, and fans cheered accordingly.

Now that the Big 12 is knocking at TCU’s door, all Horned Frog fans should realize this is the better idea and should cheer even louder because of it.

COMMUNITY

CAMPUS

Raising Cane’s First-year program will open soon goes out with a bang

By Emily Agee Staff Reporter

Popular fried chicken chain Raising Cane’s will soon open its doors to the community.

The company, based out of Louisiana, will open two locations in the near future.

One restaurant will be located at 5729 S. Hulen and the other will be on University Drive next to Ol’ South Pancake House.

Cane’s is excited about expanding to Fort Worth, Chief Business Officer Brad Sanders said.

“Raising Cane’s is actively opening new restaurants in the DFW metroplex and believes Fort Worth and Tarrant County have several great communities for us to become a part of and serve,” Sanders said.

TCU was a key factor in choosing the University Drive location, Sanders said.

“TCU is an outstanding institution and an integral part of the Fort Worth

community which we desire to serve,” Sanders said.

“We specifically chose our location on University Drive to serve the ‘Perfect Box’ to TCU students, faculty and alumni.”

“Raising Cane’s is actively opening new restaurants in the DFW metroplex and believe’s Fort Worth and Tarrant County have several great communities for us to become a part of and serve.”

Brad Sanders

Chief Business Officer

Cane’s “Perfect Box” consists of four Raising Cane’s fresh chicken fingers, crinkle cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast and their signature top-secret dipping sauce.

Raising Cane’s is a proud sponsor of TCU athletics,

Sanders said.

During basketball and baseball games this season, Cane’s will host the “Cane’s Challenge,” which is an opportunity to win free food, Sanders said.

The University Drive location will open in December.

There is good news, however, for those “Caniacs” who do not want to wait.

The Hulen location opens Oct. 12, and will host grand opening festivities.

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. and the first 100 dine-in customers will receive a free customized T-shirt, as well as a voucher for a free box combo during a future visit, Sanders said.

Super Frog will also make an appearance from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to help kick things off.

During the first week of business, customers can sign up to win the “Giveback Giveaway,” through which the winner will get free Cane’s for a year and $1,000 to donate to the charity of his or her choice, Sanders said.

Senior finance and accounting double major Jocelyn Caliel will be at Cane’s on Hulen the day it opens.

“I used to go [to Cane’s] every day in high school. That’s one thing I miss most about home,” Caliel said. “It’s so different from any chicken fast food we have here and I just can’t wait to go.”

Other students like senior strategic communication major Kia Igel have never tried the popular chain, but are excited to go.

“My boss back at home would drive 45 minutes just to get Raising Cane’s, so that really makes me want to try it when it opens,” Igel said.

Hundreds of students drummed to a common beat Thursday night at Drum Cafe to wind up Connections, a sixweek leadership program for first-year students.

The event, organized by Student Development Services’ Community Renewal @ TCU, aimed to build community on campus, Jenn Shinn, a junior ballet major and Community Renewal @ TCU intern, said.

Shinn, who referred to the event as “the last hurrah” for Connections students, said the event was also a great way for all students to relax before fall break.

“It’s kind of a nice break,” she said. “This week has been crazy with midterms and everything, and it’s the last week before fall break. So, this is kind of random and offbeat.”

According to its website, Community Renewal @ TCU is described as a campus-wide initiative established to encourage intentional caring and community-building among students in the community.

Modeled after Community Renewal International, — which was founded in 1994 by alumnus Mack McCarter in Shreveport, La.,— Community Renewal @ TCU values the same ideas of promoting and working for a community where people are invested, responsible and committed to the well-being of everyone, Daniel Terry, director of Community Renewal @ TCU, said.

Drum Cafe is a way to actively participate in the objectives Community Renewal @ TCU embodies, he said.

“Drums are an ancient way of bringing the community together,” Terry said. “So, it’s a great way to embody and actually do what we talk about when we talk about ideas of connectedness and relatedness.”

Terry said he thought Drum Cafe, at the very least, would serve as a certain kind of cultural experience unknown to the average student.

directed students during their hour-long drumming session, was started in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1996, Dale Monnin, a Drum Cafe member who led the event, said.

Monnin said to the crowds of students before him at the event, “Where we come from, we don’t play for you—we play with you.”

He said the purpose of Drum Cafe was to relate what it takes to make music with the dynamics of teamwork in an organization or community, Preston Oliver, a sophomore business major, said Drum Cafe did a great job getting this across to students.

“It was cool how he tied in important life lessons, and it wasn’t just about playing the drums,” Oliver said.

Freshman biochemistry major Charlie Ruff agreed.

“It was awesome. It’s my birthday today, so it’s even [more awesome],” he said. “I liked how he tied in building community to just having a good time and drumming. It was really interesting.”

Freshman strategic communication major Elizabeth Greenwell said drumming in unison was a great communal experience.

McCarter said that watching his vision being put to practice at his alma mater was “the most exciting thing in the whole world” to him because students were learning ways to build community and change the world.

“I wanted to come and watch the Drum Cafe. I want-

ed to beat my drum, too,” he said.

As a former Frog, McCarter said he was excited about doing his part to be faithful to the school’s mission statement: To educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community.

The university is thefirst to implement McCarter’s vision of community-building by translating the city and neighborhood model onto a university campus, Terry said.

And McCarter agreed.

“TCU is going to be able to use this model and teach it to colleges and universities all over America and also all over the world,” he said. “We just met last week with a group that has 1,600 colleges and universities in its coalition.

And they want very much to adopt this model, and they want TCU to teach them how to really intentionally care for one another.”

McCarter, who also attended the event when it was hosted on campus in 2010, said this time he brought along a busload of 40 people, including people from Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. who wanted to see how the university implemented the Community Renewal initiative on campus.

He said events like the Drum Cafe were surreal because it made him believe in the power of students to positively impact the world.

“I am living a dream right now,” he said. “It’s wonderful.”

EQUESTRIAN

Misprint causes trouble for team

By Taylor Prater Staff Reporter

A misprint on the dates for fall break in the Student-Athlete Handbook and Planner proved to be an issue for a student on the equestrian team.

According to the planner, the dates for fall break were listed as Wednesday, Oct. 5 to Tuesday, Oct. 11, a weeklong break as opposed to only two days.

After seeing the dates, freshman biology major and equestrian team member Alannah Chalmers said she made plans to visit Ohio to compete in a horse show on Friday of that week.

Chalmers said she scheduled her flight, thinking she had the full week off from school.

It was not until she heard fellow team members talk about fall break plans that she realized the planner was incorrect.

“I didn’t look at the dates online,” Chalmers said. “I just figured [the planner] was right.”.

She said she tried to change the date of her flight, but it was too late by the time she learned of the misprint.

She then spoke with her professors about the problem.

“I already scheduled my flight for Wednesday

morning, so I would have to miss class,” she said.

“But my teachers were fine with it. I just told them what happened, and they understood.”

Equestrian team member and junior middle school education major Allison Winspear also noticed the misprint in the dates, but her fall break plans were unaffected.

TCU Athletics Compliance issues the planners to student athletes every year. Becky Holmes, Assistant Director for Athletics Compliance at TCU, said no student-athletes had made a complaint to the department regarding the error.

GEOGRAPHY

Class to spend break in Panama

By Jennifer Retter Staff Reporter

While other students travel home this fall break, senior Steven Goeken will spend time exploring the rainforest in Panama.

Goeken, a senior geography and secondary education major, will take the trip with seven other students in Associate Professor of Geography Ben Tillman’s upperdivision Geography of Latin America class.

“I think it’s more important to go there and experience it firsthand instead of learning about it in a book that someone wrote years ago,” Goeken said.

Jeffrey Roet, an urban geography professor also attending the trip, said the students will travel Oct. 10-Oct. 15.

Roet said the trip targets three aspects of Panama’s geography—its physical geography in the rain forest, the

human geography in the indigenous Embera village and the historical geography in various Spanish colonial settlements from the 1500s.

Goeken said he is most excited about the human geography portion of the trip.

“I’m looking forward to learning about the indigenous cultures,” he said. “We get to go out on dugout canoe trips to observe indigenous cultures as they existed before foreign interaction.”

Roet said most upper-division geography classes have field trips associated with them, and in the past, he said students have traveled to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Puerto Rico. This will be the geography department’s first trip to Panama.

Roet said the Latin American geography classes used to travel to Mexico often. However, due to a U.S. State Department warning, Roet said geography classes would not

be traveling to Mexico again in the near future.

“If we study Latin America, we go to Latin America; if we study Western Europe, we go to Western Europe,” Roet said. “Geography becomes one of the most exciting classes to take.”

Fernanda Arana, a junior political science major, said she was unaware of the trip component of Tillman’s class.

“I thought it was a neat idea, and it would be a great opportunity,” she said. “I wouldn’t go to Panama otherwise, and it would be an educational visit.”

Arana said she has been to Honduras and Mexico and hopes to learn more about another Latin American country on the trip.

“Geography is more than just a classroom experience,” Roet said. “Geography is travel and discovery outside of the classroom, and that’s why we go on our field trips.”

ART

Biannual gallery in town

By Tyler Samuels Staff Reporter

This weekend, the Near Southside of Fort Worth will become one big art gallery for biannual event ArtsGoggle. Artists and local businesses will come together to provide patrons with free food and entertainment.

According to fortworthsouth.org this “nonprofit organization [is] working to sustain the momentum of the Near Southside’s revitalization.”

Mike Brennan, a planner for Fort Worth South Inc., said through ArtsGoggle , FWSI can bring more attention to the Near Southside and give support to the businesses in that area.

“It’s about putting together a fun event,” Brennan said.

Twice a year since 2004 , ArtsGoggle has displayed the local talent on Magnolia , Park Place and several other streets in the area, Brennan said.

“Over 70 business will transform themselves into art galleries,” he said

This event attracts thousands of visitors from inside and outside the region, Brennan said. The artists’ showcases span all areas of arts, he said.

Over 100 photographers, painters and jewelry makers, among others will be displayed this weekend, Brennan said.

“There’s really any type of art you can think of,” he said.

A section of Park Place will also be shut down and transformed into “a block party/outdoor festival,” he said.

The diversity of business involved with ArtsGoggle is almost as diverse as the art they will display, Brennan said. Nail salons, city banks, and burger joints have embraced the artists of the Fort Worth area within their establishments.

Jason Amon, owner of Jason Amon Attorney at Law, has participated in ArtsGoggle for about a year. The two artists who will be featured at his business are Pam Summers and Alejandra Britto.

Summers will display

her photography and ceramics while Britto will display her modern mixed media paintings.

Since Amon said he and Summers are good friends, she asked to use his business, and he jumped at the opportunity.

“I just happen to have an unusually large office space...a good place to display art,” Amon said.

Along with Amon and his office, there are also several restaurants involved with ArtsGoggle .

Martin Thompson, owner of Cat City Grill on West Magnolia, will be displaying his friend Patti Randle’s oil paintings. He said patrons can find her work on his patio as well as in the restaurant’s dining room.

He said businesses on Magnolia have really embraced ArtsGoggle. The art displays have greatly affected his business in a positive way.

“It brings lots of people together to enjoy the art... it promotes the area in a great way. And it makes the restaurants [on Magnolia] a destination,” Thompson said.

Free concert series to hold last show

By Mern Haider Staff Reporter

The First Friday on the Green concert series hosts its last concert of the year tonight with Dallas-Fort Worth bands Stella Rose, Oil Boom and Skeleton Coast.

The Fort Worth Weekly and Fort Worth South Inc. sponsor the free concert series, held during warm weather months (April through October,) from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. at Magno-

lia Green Park in the Near Southside area of Fort Worth.

Non-profit organization Fort Worth South Inc. chooses a local charity each month to help through donations from concert attendees.

Although the concert is free, Fort Worth South Inc. is seeking donations of paper towels, forever stamps, copy paper, Kleenex and toilet paper for The Warm Place, which provides grief

and loss relief for young children.

Along with the enjoying the music, those attending can also purchase food and drink from either of the two food trucks from Central Market or Chadra Mezza & Grill. Outside coolers, drinks and food are discouraged.

Attendees usually come armed with folding chairs, pets and family members; the event is targeted at families and music fans in the

Fort Worth community. Attendance at the series usually reaches to about 1,400, Mike Brennan, planning and development head of Fort Worth South Inc., said.

“There’s a real synergy with the event,” Brennan said.

Local sponsors also get involved with the event. Trinity Bicycles owner Bernie Scheffler set up a free bike valet for the concert series because many attendees showing up on bikes.

Another sponsor, Sloan

Clark, an agent from State Farm Insurance, also helped provide activities like face painting at the event.

Brennan said many local bands playing Fort Worth area venues such as Lola’s Fort Worth or The Moon Bar use the event to their advantage by promoting their Friday night shows as unofficial after parties for First Friday concerts. In fact, Fort Worth band Calhoun said exactly that about their acoustic set at The Moon on Sept. 2,

which happened to be after the First Friday event was over.

Fort Worth South Inc. came up with the idea for First Fridays on the Green to bring the Near Southside neighborhood together and foster a more unified community feeling, Brennan said.

Fliers and advertisements for the event can be found in issues of Fort Worth Weekly, on the Fort Worth Weekly website.

‘50/50’ provides plenty of laughs, tears Andrew Saladino 50/50 is an alternately hilarious and tear-jerking tale of a twenty-something di-

agnosed with cancer. At its most basic, it is a success both as a drama and as a comedy, and in cinema, that is a difficult task to accomplish. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who has grown exponentially as an actor in the last five years, is absolutely phenomenal here and worthy of an Oscar nomination. Seth Rogen, on the other hand, is an actor at a standstill. His performances have not im-

proved, nor have they worsened, since he came into the spotlight a few years ago. I enjoyed his presence, but I wouldn’t call 50/50 a perfect film. I can’t help but assume that he is the reason.

Loosely based on the writer Will Reiser’s personal battle with cancer, 50/50 introduces us to Adam Lerner, a writer for public radio who professes to never drink, smoke or go with girls who do; he’s the very last person imaginable to contract a life-threatening disease.

You know what follows.

Adam sees a doctor complaining of back pain and discovers he has a rare type of cancer and must undergo chemo. As you’d guess, Adam’s life proceeds to fall apart. His once caring and dedicated girlfriend (Bryce Dallas Howard) abandons him after being caught cheating. His mother (Anjelica Huston) tries to move in to care for him, and his best friend is numb to the reality that he

has little time left on Earth.

Seth Rogen is the main downfall here and the reason I wouldn’t call it a perfect, or for that matter, a great film (Although, it still is very good). I, myself, have never been a fan of his raunchy style of comedy as seen in movies such as “Knocked Up” and “Pineapple Express”. Some of the humor here works, and some of it doesn’t. I felt that his presence in 50/50 was too contrived, almost obnoxiously so, and his character, that of the pothead loser, echoed what he has played time and time again.

Anna Kendrick, on the other hand, is marvelous here as a young psychiatrist helping Adam through his treatment. The chemistry between Kenrick and Gordon-Levitt is dynamite, and this is where the movie really shines. The dialogue exchanged between them is frank without being forced and touching without being overly mawkish. Ditto for the

scenes with Anjelica Huston, who really breaks free in the third act of the film.

Director Jonathan Levine treats his audience like the adults they are. There’s no easy way of dealing with such a dangerous and relevant topic like cancer, and Levine bravely dives right into the material instead of dancing around it as so many other films have done. Painting his characters with the brush of

realism, Levine successfully creates an atmosphere of care for Adam without manipulating his audience. The same can be said for Gordon-Levitt. His performance is fully formed and is free of overt grabs for his audience’s affection. This is the work of a born actor, and I’d love to see him recognized for it.

Students disagree about best eatery

By Maggie Fraser Staff Reporter

Although they originated in different parts of the country, In-N-Out and Whataburger have several things in common.

According to the websites of both restaurants, meals are made fresh when ordered. Both restaurants use beef patties made with 100% pure beef and no additives, fillers or preservatives. Both are familyowned businesses founded more than 50 years ago.

Despite these similarities, students polled about their preferences said there are a number of differences between the two restaurants.

“I feel like there’s more variety [at In-N-Out]. I went to Whataburger once, and I wasn’t that impressed,” Sharon Fronk, a first-year biology major, said.

Fronk said In-N-Out’s menu was more healthconscious than Whataburger’s because it includes vegetarian and low-carb options.

These meals, along with others, can be found on the

restaurant’s secret menu.

Fronk said the secret menu gives customers a reason to keep coming back and rewards long-term patrons.

“You don’t know about it unless you’ve been going there for a really long time,” she said.

However, Xavier Alston, a junior entrepreneurial management major, said

“I feel like there’s more variety [at In-N-Out]. I went to Whataburger once, and I wasn’t that impressed.”

Sharon Fronk

First-year biology major

he thought Whataburger’s menu was more diverse than In-N-Out’s menu.

“They serve breakfast at Whataburger, and that’s probably my favorite meal.

I don’t think they do that at In-N-Out,” he said.

Alston said Whataburger

also has more drink options to choose from than In-N-Out, such as orange juice and milk. But he said he thought In-N-Out’s prices were much more reasonable.

“It’s pretty cheap compared to Whataburger,” he said.

Nadirah Shorter, a freshman communication studies major, said she preferred In-N-Out to Whataburger, but felt Whataburger’s menu was more varied.

She said she enjoyed InN-Out’s veggie sandwiches and french fries and thought the food was generally less greasy than Whataburger’s food. But Shorter said the menu did not have many other options for those who do not eat beef.

“If you don’t eat certain foods, there’s a lot more to choose from at Whatburger, like a chicken sandwich,” Shorter said.

She also said wait times for food at In-N-Out are much shorter than they are at Whataburger, and the restaurant’s menu includes items that can be cooked in a minute or less.

Trent Gilbreath, a senior FTDM major, said he enjoyed Whataburger’s breakfast menu, especially because it is available from 11:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m.

“It’s always nice to eat there after going out at night,” Gilbreath said.

Like Shorter and Alston,

Gilbreath said he preferred Whataburger because of the varied choices on the menu.

Sidra Ahmed, a senior finance major, said she thought In-N-Out had a better dining atmosphere than Whataburger.

“I like the uniforms and the quick service. It’s very

simple,” she said.

Ahmed said although the menu at In-N-Out is limited compared to Whataburger’s menu, items can be customized in a number of ways to create new meals.

“You can make so many things with just two or three options,” she said.

The ‘Dirty Lover Burger’ among best in Metroplex

By Chris Phanekham Staff Writer

Here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we are obsessed with burgers. In fact, “obsessed” is an understatement.

As a metroplex, we are consumed with an unending urge for utter burger perfection.

What

SXC.HU

other city would have a burger showdown, bracket style, in a major newspaper? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, head over to dfw.com and check out the Battle of the Burgers.

This sick compulsion toward ground sirloin nirvana has chefs and restaurant chains constantly opening new temples of burgerdom, each one battling for loyal customers and jockeying for position.

In the wake of this heated burger boom, the eaters of the area are left to reap the benefits. The general populace has become veritable burger snobs, poking and prying, elevating the art of beef patties to a level of connoisseurship once reserved for fine wine.

In this culture of intense

competition, local celebrity chef and hometown hero Tim Love leads the pack.

Chef Love opened his first game-changing Love Shack in the Stockyards under his popular White Elephant Saloon.

Already legendary for his masterful take on cowboy cuisine at nearby Lonesome Dove Bistro, Love solidified his place at the top with the visceral Love Burger. With two new locations, one in Denton and one at So7, Chef Love’s expanding empire holds a special place in my heart.

While many TCU students would consider it blasphemy to denounce Dutch’s as a second-rate contender, blaspheme I shall. It simply doesn’t get any better than Chef Love’s signature Dirty Love Burger.

The 50/50 mix of prime tenderloin and brisket yields

a perfect meat patty with just the right amount of fat, always cooked to the right temperature. The Dirty Love Burger comes topped with wild boar bacon, coyly named “dirty love” sauce and...wait for it...a quail egg. All these ingredients come together in an ethereal amalgamation of near burger perfection.

Another show-stopper is a similar burger that comes with a whole Portobello mushroom in place of the quail egg. The juicy mushroom complements the patty wonderfully, but for my money, the Dirty Love Burger is the way to go. Nothing else compares.

Amazingly, the sides hold their own against the otherworldly patties. The fries are thinly cut strips of greasy heaven. They are so good that I would be remiss to try anything else (although I’m told the onion rings are a

While many TCU students would consider it blasphemy to denounce Dutch’s as a second-rate contender, blashpeme I shall. It simply doesn’t get any better than Chef Love’s signature Dirty Love Burger. near second).

The drink selection is also notable: the cocktails are top-dollar reminders that mixed drinks need not be shunned by the more masculine. The Blueberry Gin Rickey had no trace of artificial flavoring. Instead the fresher-than-fresh muddled mint and ripe blueberries created a refreshing and potent drink perfect for summer sipping.

My favorite location is the

one at So7. Located right off the Trinity, this Love Shack is hidden neatly among the ever-urbanizing Fort Worth hot spot that is West 7th Street.

Most of the location resides outside, utilizing a smartly modern fenced-in patio. The ambiance is undeniable, and the management does a great job of booking local acts to keep the atmosphere lively and the beer flowing. It’s one of my favorite places to spend a lazy Saturday evening.

Love Shack is the Mecca of burger joints, but don’t take my word for it. Adventure out of the Frog Bucks bubble, and leave Dutch’s comforting dining room for one night.

Type Love Shack So7 into your iPhone, make the short drive to the Cultural District and prepare to have your senses assaulted in the most satisfying way possible.

YMCA program provides sports alternative

By Sarah Gomez Staff Reporter

For TCU students who have participated in sports in high school, their journeys and dreams of sports usually end at graduation, unless they choose to become a college athlete.

Senior middle school education and Spanish double major Heather Mathis created Frog Sports, a subprogram of TCU Student YMCA, so students could still participate in sports without the commitment of being part of a team.

The organization is for students who want to continue using their sports skills to coach children.

Frog Sports was originally Frog Soccer, but after becoming affiliated with the YMCA, the organization was able to expand the sports offered, Mathis said.

Frog Sports currently consists of soccer, basketball, flag football and T-Ball.

“If we get connect-

ed with other YMCAs, there’s a possibility to open to other sports like volleyball, cheerleading and stuff like that,” Mathis said.

Junior middle school education major Paige Rodriguez said she was intending on going to a meeting for one organization, but coincidentally ended up at a Frog Sports meeting.

Once she was told about the organization and how students were able to coach their own team, she said she was hooked.

“Ever since I was told we could coach actual kids and it wasn’t like we were watching people coach, I jumped right in and started doing it,” she said.

Rodriguez coached basketball and T-Ball last year and plans on doing so again this year.

Although students are able to coach ages 3 to 12, she said she was a coach to 3- and 4-year-olds.

Coaches pick a day out of the week to have practice and have the games on Saturdays, Mathis said.

“When you’re work-

ing with 3- and 4-yearolds, you really have to have something that’s consistent and the drills that I had were very consistent,” she said.

Junior computer science major Greg Kolesar also coached basketball and T-Ball last year and said since he worked with young children his practices usually consisted of basic drills.

“In basketball, it was just dribbling, passing and shooting and for baseball [T-Ball] it was hitting, catching and a little bit of throwing,” Kolesar said.

He said he enjoys coaching both sports because they are both different and the children he coached are also different.

Young children are expected to have their good times and bad times and Rodriguez and Kolesar said they both experienced that.

“Their behavior was

never the same, some days they’d be excited and listen to me, but then other days they wouldn’t,” Rodriguez said. “There were those times where they just weren’t into it and would cry the whole time.”

Aside from wiping noses, dealing with vomit and having players cry, Rodriguez said at the end of the day having a player come up and thank her and give her hugs made everything

else not matter.

Mathis also said she had rewarding experiences while coaching soccer to children.

At the end of the season she actually felt like she made a difference in someone’s life, she said.

“It’s learning the sportsmanship skills and the life skills that you get out of sports that to me are the most important aspects of coaching,” she said.

Update on Big 12 situation

Slow start could doom Frogs in San Diego succeed in the secondary. Jason Verrett has been a bright spot for TCU because he has played great cornerback ever since the Baylor game. Now, Patterson must get the safeties and Greg McCoy to play at that same level. If Ryan Lindley had been on the field last week, SMU would have scored well over 50.

Time is TCU’s friend, and let’s hope that another week of practice has made the TCU secondary better. And that improvement better be Defensive Line: huge.

Advantage: TCU Offensive Line:

Alex Apple Quarterbacks:

Casey Pachall has outplayed Ryan Lindley so far this season, statistic-wise.

Pachall already has well over 1,000 yards throwing on the season while Lindley stands at 875 yards on the season. The Horned Frogs have played one more game than the Aztecs, so the numbers do not tell the entire story. I expect Lindley to throw more in this game than he will in any other game this season. Lindley versus the TCU secondary gives the Aztecs the advantage at quarterback.

Advantage: San Diego State

Running Backs:

TCU will not play a single team all season with more running back depth than itself. Ed Wesley returned and made some big plays last week on the ground and catching the ball. However, Ronnie Hillman may be the best running back that TCU will face all season.

Hillman already has 626 rushing yards on the season after just four games. He averages 6.2 yards per carry, and he has already scored eight times.

Wide Receivers:

The TCU and SDSU offensive lines are quite similar in size. The TCU offensive line averages 298 pounds compared to an average of 294 pounds for SDSU. However, the TCU offensive line could not have done a better job so far this season protecting Casey Pachall. Also, the Frogs did a great job blocking for the running backs against SMU. Advantage: TCU

The TCU secondary will be tested by the San Diego State passing game. If SMU had Ryan Lindley at quarterback last Saturday, the Mustangs could have scored in the 50s. Colin Lockett, Dylan Denso and Gavin Escobar give SDSU three consistent threats on the edges.

Josh Boyce has continued to make big plays for the Frogs, but Antoine Hicks and Skye Dawson have been anything but consistent. With SDSU receivers playing against the TCU secondary, I think the Secondary: Aztec receivers will have a What can you say? Gary better game in this one.

SAME-SEX COUPLES WILL REQUEST MARRIAGE LICENSES TODAY

By Allie Norton The Collegian It may not come as a surprise that one of the busiest times of year to obtain a marriage license is Valentine’s Day. However, with Proposition 8 still in legal limbo, not every couple is granted the right to marry.

P r o p. 8 a m e n d e d t h e California constitution to recognize only marriages between a man and a woman, only to be struck down by a federal court.

It is currently in the process of being appealed.

In conjunction with Freedom to Mar ry Month, Mar riage Equality USA created a nationwide protest to demonstrate the effect of Prop. 8.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender couples in Fresno will meet outside the County Clerks Office today to request marriage licenses even though they know they will still be denied.

“It’s really a visual event,” Jason Scott, Fresno county chapter leader for Marriage Equality USA, said. “ What we do is bring in same-sex couples who would like to be married and bring them down on Valentine’s Day to highlight the fact they can’t get married.”

Julia Scott, who has no relation to Jason Scott, is the president of the United Student Pride Club at Fresno State. Julia Scott believes that Valentine’s Day is the ideal day for the protest.

“Since it’s a day focusing on couples and relationships, it’s an appropriate day,” Scott said.

“It’s a good time to think about

everybody’s version of love.”

On the day of the protest, same-sex couples and supporters will gather outside the County Clerks Office at noon.

Each couple will give a brief description on why they would like to get married and what marriage means to them. The couples then enter the County Clerks Office to request a marriage license.

A county clerk will then deny See PROTEST, Page 3

ASI funding still available for organizations

By Carlos Perez The Collegian Despite tough economic times, Associated Students, Inc. has more than $35,000 available in its budget to fund activities of student-run clubs and organizations.

As of Feb. 7, ASI allocated $43,625.85 to student-run clubs and organizations at Fresno State, leaving $36,374.15 in its budget. For the 2010-11 school year, ASI has funded 56 on-campus events that were hosted by student organizations and clubs.

Students might assume that due to constant budget cuts and a national economy that is in a recession, ASI would be suffering from low funds as well. The ASI budget for complementary financial support to student clubs and organizations, however, has increased since the 2009-10 school year.

For three of the past four years, ASI

has spent more than was in its budget.

In 2007-08, ASI spent $91,412 on club funding, with a budget of $85,000. The following year, 2008-09, ASI had a budget of $80,000 but allotted $141,771 to student organizational activities. Last year, however, ASI spent $48,940 with a budget of $57,739.

While the budget for club financial support is still lower than in 2007, this year’s budget increased to $80,000, as a higher enrollment rate was anticipated.

“There’s a positive cor relation between student enrollment and funding,” ASI Office Manager Cynthia Dolan said. “Since we expected a higher enrollment rate for [spring], a budget increase was proposed and approved.”

According to the ASI office, students were coming in during the week, assuming that there were no opportunities left to apply for funding.

In order for an organization to be eligible for ASI funding, it must first be recognized by Fresno State as an official student club. The organization must then submit a signature agreement to ASI, providing up-todate records of club officers. Once the organization is officially recognized and accepted by the university, the club must submit a completed funding application to the ASI office.

Student clubs can request up to $2,000 in funding from ASI for one academic year. Applications requesting more than $1,000 must be submitted five weeks prior to the event date, or three weeks prior if the amount is less than $1,000. Approval of funds is at the discretion of the ASI Finance Committee.

Organizations and clubs are required to submit receipts and invoices for all money spent putting on the event. If these documents are sub-

mitted to ASI within 45 days after the event, the expenses will not be covered and funds will not be granted.

Clubs and organizations are able to use the money they receive from ASI, if it fits into five criteria: performance fees, facility charges, promotion and publicity, supplies needed for the event, and another category that primarily pertains to registration fees for sports clubs.

“We want to enhance campus culture and provide students the opportunity to experience a wide range of activities,” ASI Vice President of Finance Cesar Sanchez said. “Without ASI funding, many of the clubs on campus wouldn’t be able to hold events.”

Most student organizations are dependent on ASI funding. While funds can be brought in through student dues and club fundraising, ASI funding can play a large factor in the See FUNDING, Page 3

Celebrate V-Day a new way

By Oscar Perez The Collegian What is love? According to my understanding, love is when we show compassion, affection and thoughtfulness to another human being. And this Valentine’s Day I think we should all ask ourselves this insightful question: What is love?

It is not that I’m a miserable or unromantic person, but rather I am a very caring person and loving human being.

Furthermore, I am glad to say I hate Valentine’s Day and everything associated with it, especially the amount of money connected to it, but I decided to put a spin on this year’s Valentine’s Day and give it a chance.

After all, Valentine’s Day is about love, supposedly.

When we think of Valentine’s Day, we usually think of roses, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, love cards and Cupid.

Well, let’s leave Cupid out of this; I think he’s adorable.

Anyways, what if we decided to make Valentine’s Day more than flowers, candy and bent paper? What if we decided to make it about “loving out loud”? What if we decided to make it about extending a loving and caring hand to those who are going through adversity, hardships or have lost all hope in life?

We have too many homeless, hungrey and underpriveleged people living within the United States.

The National Geographic reported that in 2009 Americans spent nearly $15 billion on Valentine’s Day. And the National Retail Federation expects that this amount will

increase by 7 percent with the average consumer spending $100 on this “special” day.

Here comes my spin: Why not do something different on this Valentine’s Day? What do I mean by this?

Well, how about spending the money on an important purpose, such as donating it to the Marjaree Mason Center, the Community Food Bank, Catholic

Charities, Poverello House or an organization of your choice?

So, instead of wasting money on flowers that will die or chocolates that will be long gone before you realize it, donate it and make a difference in someone’s life.

Make an impact on someone’s living condition, an impact on an abused woman or an impact on an underprivileged child.

And now you might be thinking, “How do I make my couple happy?”

As far as I know, money doesn’t buy genuine feelings, and therefore I can guarantee that that special person in your life will love simply being with you on this special day, with or without gifts.

And if you donate that money to an organization, the one that you would have wasted on a gift, the feeling of knowing you did something good is worth it. You and your couple can feel good about each other, especially knowing that you made someone’s life a lot easier.

I mean, if those billions of dollars could be donated to an agency imagine how many people would be helped, just imagine.

Let an underprivileged child, a survivor of domestic violence, or a homeless man be your valentine this year.

Extend a loving hand to those who really need it because the truth is that that special person in your life knows you love them.

So, before you go buying a last minute gift for that special person, think. And if you already bought them something, return it and donate the money to an important cause.

I’m pretty sure that your couple will not mind not receiving a gift after you explain the purpose behind you being merchandise-less.

Let your gift to that special someone be love while helping those in dire need of a helping and loving hand.

THE TWO REASONS WHY IT’S OKAY TO HATE VALENTINE’S DAY

By Danielle Gilbert The Collegian

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SUPERHERO CARDS TAPED ONTO A BOX OF SWEETHEARTS BEING ENOUGH? Love does not equal money. But today, the actions of the average American will have you thinking otherwise. The National Retail Foundation has the numbers to prove it. The NRF 2011 Valentine’s Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey discovered that in America, it’s not the thought that counts — it’s the damn gifts.

1

THE INDUSTRY

American’s are predicted to spend $1.7 billion on flowers, $1.5 billion on candy and $3.4 billion in a romantic restaurant. The average person will shell out $116.21 on traditional Valentine’s Day merchandise this year, up 12.8 percent over last year’s $103.00. Consumers will shell out $3.5 billion on jewelry this Valentine’s Day, up from an estimated $3 billion last year. Total holiday spending is expected to reach $15.7 billion.

2

THE SEXPECTATION

Women are predicted to spend $75.79 on Valentine’s Day, whereas men are predicted to spend $158.71.

What is with the gift gap? Perhaps it has to do with the 20 percent increase in condom sales. Viagra, lingerie and contraceptive sales jump five-fold come February. As the sex market goes limp in March, at home pregnancy tests reach an all time high.

The NRF 2011 Valentine’s Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted for NRF by BIGresearch, was designed to gauge consumer behavior and shopping trends related to Valentine’s Day. The poll of 8,913 consumers was conducted from January 4-11, 2011. The consumer poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.0 percent.

FUNDING: ASI retains funds despite university budget cuts CONTINUED from page 1 overall financial success of the organization.

ASI allocated more than $1,900 this year to the Fresno State Poetry Jam Club. The funding allowed the club to put on their monthly Poetry Jam session that brought together students, poets, performing artists and musicians to present and express themselves.

“The funding we receive is really for the students,” Marie

Davis, president of Poetry Jam Club, said. “We use the money from ASI to pay for our venue, which becomes an area to allow like-minded students to network and connect.”

Initially, ASI funding covered the entire cost of renting the venue for the Poetry Jam Club, but due to budget cuts, the club now pays for the venue for each hour it is used.

Davis believes, however, that the Poetry Jam Club wouldn’t have nearly as much

success, if it wasn’t for the money ASI has provided.

“Without assistance from ASI, we wouldn’t be able to provide students with such an amazing social outlet,” Davis said.

Any student club or organization seeking additional infor mation and the for ms needed to apply for funding, is encouraged to call ASI at (559) 278-2656 or visit the website at www.asi.csufresno.edu.

Spanish-language radio drama tackles gay issues

By Gosia Wozmiacka Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A Spanish-language radio drama is aiming to break the silence surrounding homosexuality and its acceptance in California’s rural communities, where thousands of agricultural workers toil in fields while listening to the radio.

The radionovela, “Bienvenidos a Casa,” or “ We l c o m e H o m e, ” wh i ch premiered Friday across the Central Valley, tells the story of Carlos, a Latino teen who is rejected by his friends and family for being gay then finds acceptance with his mother and neighbors.

The show will air for nearly two months on Radio Bilingue, a national Spanish-language radio network headquartered

in Fresno. A gay-rights group is working to air the series nationally.

Activists say it’s the first time information about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues is reaching rural Latino farmworker communities in a language and format that’s accessible.

The three-episode radionovela, developed in collaboration with San Francisco State University and California Rural Legal Assistance, was based on input from community focus groups and performed by community volunteers.

M a ny L at i n os g rew u p listening to radionovelas, which in some parts of Latin America are more popular than television and have inspired the creation of telenovelas — TV soap operas.

The radio dramas depict life’s struggles through recurring characters and themes. In recent years, short radionovelas have become an increasingly popular way to raise awareness of various issues among Latino audiences in the U.S. “People identify with the characters,” said Delia Saldivar, the Radio Bilingue station manager who helped develop the program about gay Latinos.

Some mainstream Latino media ridicule people with different sexual orientations, Saldivar said, creating a need for positive stories.

Saldivar teamed up with Califor nia Rural Le g al Assistance’s Proyecto Poderoso, or Project Powerful, to engage California’s hardto-reach rural Latinos. For the past three years, Proyecto Poderoso has provided legal services to gay, bisexual and transgender individuals in farmworker communities.

P ro g r a m m a n a g e r D a n Torres said the project has helped Latinos who were ridiculed, beaten or even fired from their jobs because of their sexual orientation. It also has shown the lack of resources, information and awareness about such issues.

PROTEST: Couples will demonstrate in front of country clerk’s office CONTINUED from page 1 their request.

“When the law per mits same-sex marriages we will perform the marriage,” county clerk Victor Salazar said.

“Currently the law does not permit it.”

After the couples are denied licenses, they are welcomed to participate in a commitment ceremony performed by a clergy member. “ L a s t ye a r t h e r e we r e tears,” Jason Scott said. “It’s upsetting for people to be told they are less than somebody else.”

Julia Scott and her girlfriend, Christina Rea, plan to attend the event to show their support for same-sex couples.

“If Christina and I were re a dy t o g e t m a r r i e d o n Valentine’s Day, we couldn’t file the same report and get the same treatment as a straight couple,” Julia Scott said.

Although Julia Scott is attending the protest, she doesn’t believe that it is the best way to show the effect

that Prop. 8 has on same-sex couples.

“I appreciate that it’s a peaceful demonstration that’s meant to draw attention to the disparity between straight couples and gay couples, but I’m not really for protesting because I’d rather set an example everyday by showing who it’s affecting,” Julia Scott said. “I’d rather promote what I’m for.”

Rea, who is also a Fresno State student and member of the United Students Pride club, hopes the protest will affect the community in a positive way.

“Hopefully people will be able to think about it and maybe consider how it’s different for other people,” Rea said. “And for gay people to aspire to something and stand up for what they believe in.”

Don't be a stupid Cupid, use protection

Ty-ing It All Together Janessa Tyler

V

alentine’s Day and sex go hand-in-hand. The annual commemoration isn’t a national holiday, but some people consider the day as a time to express love and affection for each other — by having sex.

According to A.E. Freeman in “Interesting Valentine’s Day Facts,” Feb. 14 is the highest day for condom sales.

Also, at-home pregnancy test sales reach their peak in March.

Oh, the irony.

If you’re planning to indulge sexually on Valentine’s Day, then there are a few important factors that you should know.

Biology major Tim Walrod, one of the peer health educators at the Student Health Center, advises students to “always use protection whenever you're with that special somebody.”

Public health major Hannah Day, student program coordinator at the Student Health Center, said protection includes barrier methods such as a male or female condoms and dental dams for engaging in any sexual activity.

“Whether it's intercourse, oral or anal,” Day said. “Any facet in which one body is

touching another.”

In addition to practicing safe sex physically, Day and Walrod said communication and STI testing is just as important.

“Really communicate what it is that you want to do on Valentine's Day, if it's to engage in those things or not,” Day said.

Communication is key to any relationship, physically involved or not physically involved. Being in a relationship also means being aware and being open with your partner — even about topics that aren't always easy to discuss.

“In terms of being in a monogamous relationship, STI testing is always important,” Walrod said.

“Make sure everything is OK in terms of that.”

— Tim Walrod, Peer health educator services and resources offered at the Student Health Center.

“Obviously the Family PACT is one of those resources and most of our students will qualify for that program,” Yarmo said.

The Family PACT Program is a statewide program that covers birth control, counseling, pregnancy testing, physical exams and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.

“Once they enroll in that program, not only can they access the services here at our Student Health Center, but other clinics that have Family

PACT,” Day said. “Like for example, Planned Parenthood is one of them.”

The eligibility requirements include a California address, capable of becoming pregnant or causing a pregnancy, under 55 years of age for women and 60 years of age for men and an income at or below 200 percent of the Federal poverty level.

Yarmo said that even if a student has insurance through their parents, but wants their information kept confidential, the student could apply and be eligible for the Family PACT Program if they meet the requirements.

Along with a green card that proves your Family PACT Program eligibility, students receive 36 condoms of various types.

National Condom Awareness Month is

February and National Condom Awareness Day is coincidentally Valentine's Day. The Student Health Center celebrates condom awareness all year by selling Trojan Her Pleasure, Trojan Magnum and Trojan lubricated condoms at the pharmacy. Students can purchase five condoms for $1.

Trojan condoms sell in a box of three for $5.99 at Walgreens and Durex condoms go for $5.49.

The Student Health Center pharmacy also sells Next Choice, an emergency contraceptive option that's similar to Plan B. The faculty and staff at the Student Health Center will be hosting a Valentine's Day booth from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Free Speech Area.

Students will have a chance to grab condom roses and

heart-shaped notes with howto make love to your partner without having sex.

Some ideas include playing footsie, going to the park, sharing an ice cream cone and doing things for each other without being asked.

They're also planning to do a fun event in March at the University Student Union called “Speed Friending,” a new twist to the classic speeddating model. The difference is that the pressure isn't too great to make a connection.

“Say there is a romance connection, who knows?” Day said. “It could happen.”

Despite your views about Valentine's Day, take extra time to be safe by taking precautions. The Student Health Center opens at 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. today for all you last-minute planners.

Love is in the air, and so are iPhones

By Danielle Fontana The Collegian Va l e n t i n e ' s D ay i s a n opportunity to express feelings for one another by giving and receiving a bouquet o f fl owe r s, h e a r t - s h ap e d chocolates, a teddy bear and a sing-along card.

But this Valentine's Day is different for one reason.

Verizon Wireless launched its newest Apple product, the iPhone 4, on Feb. 10, allowing couples to throw the idea of chocolates and flowers out the window, and to express their affection in a more expensive and advanced way.

Timing is everything in the technology industry, so it doesn’t seem accidental that the nationwide phone cor poration planned its release so close to Valentine's Day — a day that's widely

known for couples spoiling their loved ones.

“There is already an increasingly high general demand for the product, but the fact that it’s Valentine’s Day definitely doesn’t hurt the sales,” Heidi F lato, public relations manager for Northern California Verizon Wireless, said.

Flato said that the introduction of the iPhone 4 is a “coincidence, although very good timing,” in light of Valentine's Day falling so closely behind the release date.

It's easy for society to believe that the cell phone industry has manipulated Va l e n t i n e ' s D ay t o b o o s t profits, because our economy is notorious for the art of their veiled manipulation. But are customers willing to buy their loved one an iPhone 4?

Business marketing major Krista Ellsworth said she has been in a serious relationship for three years. She admits that the typical gifts she loves to receive on Valentine’s Day are roses and chocolates, but not an iPhone 4.

“I’m not so sure Valentine’s Day is the day to boost iPhone sales,” Ellsworth said. “I could only imagine older, married couples buying each other the iPhone for Valentine’s Day.” Some students deem completely indifferent about Va l e n t i n e ' s D ay a n d f e e l u n c o m fo r t abl e ab o u t t h e notion of giving and receiving gifts as a way to express love.

By Sarah Thomas The Collegian The month of February and spirit for Valentine’s Day often reminds us of our love and fascination for flowers.

In grade school, Valentine’s Day always presented the opportunity to buy valentine cards for all of your classmates with your favorite new character on it. As we outgrew the messages on a simple card, the interest in flowers has become more prominent, especially around this time of year.

When preparing a gift for a special valentine, you might consider the original red rose or possibly be interested in something different.

When deliberating what flowers could be desirable, it's often nice to see flowers in your surroundings.

The Fresno State campus displays s eve r a l t y p e s o f g a rd e n s a n d a beautiful array of plants and flowers.

One exclusive feature on campus is the rose garden, located in a hightraffic area of campus near the Kennel Bookstore and the University Student Union.

Mike Frick, an employee with the g rounds department in plant operations for Fresno State said that there are 114 different varieties of roses in the rose garden. These varieties include hybrid tea roses, floribunda roses, miniature roses, old fashioned and shrub roses.

The rose garden is well maintained and displays a beautiful mixture of these varieties. It draws much attraction from passers by, and for students interested in this type of plant production there are ways to get involved.

The Floral Laboratory at Fresno State is a student-run operation, which creates flower arrangements for special occasions. There is one full-time manager with the remaining employees being student assistants.

Fresno State student Lynn Trentham works at the floral lab and said that the lab creates a lot of arrangements for campus organizations and events.

As an agriculture education major, Trentham is developing skills she will need to teach floral classes in a high school agriculture program.

“In high school I competed in floral contests, so I had some experience,” Trentham said.

The experience that she is receiving at the floral lab will also prepare her to coach a floral judging team, if the opportunity arises in her future position.

Trentham said that the floral lab orders all floral products so they work with a large variety of flowers, including roses. The lab generally

The rose garden will regain its color once spring starts next month. The rose garden currently doesn't have any blossoms due to frost and rain.

utilizes the flowers that are in season at the time. Working as a student assistant at the lab presents a large amount of exposure to different floral products to gain experience.

If a student would rather learn about flowers in a class setting, there is an introductory ornamental horticulture class offered through the plant science department in the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology taught by Dr. John Bushoven.

According to the general catalog, the introductory ornamental horticulture course includes: planting and maintenance of the home landscape selection, planting, fertilization and pruning of plants, and lawn planting and care.

People have generally had a special preference of flowers and appreciate a g o o d - l o o k i n g p l a n t w h i l e we familiarizing a great deal with flowers such as colors, scents and names.

Although this time of year expresses a stronger appreciation for flowers, at Fresno State they play a consistent role on display, in production and in the classroom.

Ebner has been with her boyfriend for four months and said that Valentine’s Day is “overrated and pointless.”

While some consumers may feel somewhat skeptical about Valentine's Day and the meaning of its celebration, Verizon Wireless has covertly given its customers another reason to splurge on the newest expansion in technology.

The introduction of the iPhone to Verizon Wireless has also come in the midst of tax season, when employees are collecting their annual checks from the government.

It's hard to believe that such good timing is merely accidental, especially

when it comes down to a supply and demand nation such as America.

D e s p i t e t h e N o. 1 r e a s o n f o r celebrating Valentine's Day, there's still another reason to spend the hardearned money on the product that a lot of Verizon Wireless customers have been waiting for.

FTD, Groupon get complaints, offer flower refunds

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2011

Awardwinning author visits Fresno State Author Terry McMillan packs Satellite Student Union

By John Quinlan The Collegian

Associated Press Images

Groupon.com, a popular coupon sales site, was locked in a business skirmish last week with flower company FTD Group Inc. over inflated prices for Groupon customers.

By Tom Krishner Associated Press The online coupon site Groupon.com and flower company FTD Group Inc. are offering refunds after getting complaints that a Valentine’s Day flower deal wasn’t so sweet.

Both companies said they didn’t do anything wrong, but they responded to Inter net complaints that FTD inflated prices for some Groupon customers who used a coupon for $20 off an FTD flower purchase of $40 or more.

The problem surfaced when several Groupon customers found the flowers they bought were priced lower as sale items on FTD’s own website. They complained on the Groupon site and the Inter net that FTD was making up for the Groupon discount by jacking up the prices.

B u t F T D G ro u p I n c.

President Rob Apatoff said in an interview on Sunday that wasn’t the case. He said it was clear on the sites that the coupon didn’t apply to sale items.

Still, Apatof f said the Downers Grove, Ill., company will credit the customers’ accounts to give them the sale price, even if they don’t ask

for it. Both companies also say they will make full refunds if people aren’t satisfied.

“At no time did we inflate any prices. Absolutely not,” Apatoff said. “Because there was some confusion with a few, we decided to step up and do the right thing to make sure everybody was happy.”

Even with the higher price on the Groupon site, Groupon

of people who bought the sale items through Groupon, giving them the difference between the sale price and the price that was on the Groupon site, he said. The companies also put the FTD sale prices on the Groupon site, he said.

“To make this right, we’ve worked with FTD to make sure that your Groupon can be used on any item with the sale

“T

o make this right, we’ve worked with FTD to make sure that your Groupon can be used on any item with the sale price.”

— Rob Solomon, Groupon.com President

customers always got a better deal with the $20 coupon than buying from the FTD site, Apatoff said. Discounts on the FTD site were $5 to $10 lower than the price on the Groupon site, he said.

Groupon Inc. officials started seeing the complaints on Thursday and contacted FTD about the problem, Groupon. com President Rob Solomon said on Sunday. Together, they decided to credit the accounts

price,” Solomon said.

Both companies said “tens of thousands” of people bought FTD flowers through the Groupon site, but Solomon estimated that only a few hundred bought the sale items and would get the credit to their charge accounts.

At any given time, five to 17 items of the 500 on the FTD site are on sale, Apatoff said.

Groupon has people who monitor Internet prices on cou-

pon items to make sure there are no discrepancies, and they catch differences in most cases, Solomon said. He called the FTD case a rare exception.

The problem is the second time in a week in which Inter net complaints forced Groupon to change course. The company pulled television ads less than a week after they first aired during the Super Bowl when they were criticized on Facebook and Twitter.

In one of the commercials, actor Timothy Hutton says “the people in Tibet are in trouble, their culture is in jeopardy,” as pictures of Tibet are shown on the screen. The punch line? It turns out he’s talking about a fish curry deal Groupon offered.

“We hate that we offended people, and we’re very sorry that we did — it’s the last thing we wanted,” co-founder Andrew Mason said in a posting on the company’s site.

COMMENT: News story courtesy of Associated Press. http://collegian.csufresno.edu

Best-selling author Terry McMillan spoke at the Satellite Student Union Saturday night about her latest book “Getting to Happy,” the long awaited sequel to “Waiting to Exhale.”

The production was funded by the Instructionally Related Activities Board and hosted by the Martin Luther King Jr. Visiting Scholars Committee.

McMillan is the author of many popular books and is probably most recognizable as the author of “How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” which was later adapted as a hit movie.

McMillan was introduced by Dr. DeAnna Reese and received a war m welcome onto the stage as the audience stood up in applause and one member of the audience shouted out “Welcome to Fresno!”

McMillan read for about 30 minutes from two excerpts of “Getting to Happy.” Each of the excerpts focused on one of the book’s characters, Bernadine and Robin.

Whitney Jenkins, who helped coordinate an exclus ive re c e p t i o n b e fo re t h e event, said though she hasn’t read “Getting to Happy” yet, she read some of McMillan’s books before. “It was cool to be able to get an idea of what the books were like,” Jenkins said.

“Hearing it read from the perspective of the author was way better.”

USU productions student director Dana Elkins said there was a lot of positive feedback regarding the reception.

McMillan attended the reception and met and took pictures with those attending, including many student leaders.

After reading both excerpts there was a question and answer session, in which one audience member asked about how McMillan goes about writing at her desk.

“I immerse myself in these characters’ lives,” McMillan said. “I take whatever issues they are having and whatever struggles they are facing and I take it very seriously.”

Brief news for the brief attention span LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan’s escalating legal woes have been accompanied by rumors about the future of her career.

But a spokeswoman for Fox’s upcoming “The X-Factor” says the talent show isn’t part of the equation.

Ann-Marie Thomson said Saturday that producers have not talked to Lohan (LOH’-un) about joining the show, despite online speculation that the troubled actress was being courted as a judge.

“The X-Factor” is the creation of for mer “American

Idol” judge Simon Cowell. It is set to premiere in the fall.

Lohan was arraigned this week on a charge that she stole a $2,500 necklace from an upscale Los Angeles jeweler.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After seven years in the Califor nia gover nor’s mansion, Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to his old day job: acting.

Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter that he’s ready to start considering film roles again.

The former governor tweeted Thursday night: “Exciting

news. My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today.”

Creative Artists Agency is a leading Hollywood talent agency.

Schwarzenegger’s personal aide, Daniel Ketchell, confirmed the tweet Friday morning.

Before leading the state of California from 2003 to 2010, the former body builder was the star of such blockbusters as the “Terminator” franchise and “True Lies” and comedies

like “Kindergarten Cop” and “Twins.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — So long, long distance.

Newlyweds Carrie Underwood and NHL player Mike Fisher soon will be living together full time in Nashville.

The Ottawa Senators traded Fisher to the Nashville Predators for two draft picks.

Underwood tells T he Associated Press in a statement that they will both miss Ottawa.

She says Fisher has been a big part of the community, and

she’ll never forget how they welcomed her with open arms.

The two have been splitting time between the two cities since they were married last July. Nashville is Underwood’s adopted hometown since winning “American Idol” in 2005 and launching her country music career.

She says they consider the trade an exciting opportunity for Fisher and that she supports him wherever he plays.

Men’s and women’s WAC Tournament nearing Tournament seedings clearer after basketball matchups against Utah State over the weekend

By Ben Ingersoll The Collegian One Fresno State basketball team took a step forward in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament seedings — the other took a step back.

Both the men’s and women’s squads took on WAC rival Utah State, but only head coach Adrian Wiggins’ team made the most of the opportunity.

Playing at home Saturday, the women overcame a seven-point halftime deficit to both take out the Aggies and clinch a firm hold on the second seed in the recent conference standings. Coming into the contest, Fresno State was in danger of dropping to a tie with Utah State. The Bulldogs held a 7-2 record in conference play, while the Aggies were 7-3.

Since taking over as head coach in 2006, Wiggins’ teams have been lower than a No. 2 seed in the conference tournament just once in 2007.

The Bulldogs outscored Utah State 50-25 over the final 20 minutes, anchored by Taja Edwards and Rosie Moult’s 19 points apiece. Fresno State now has five conference games left on the schedule. The five remaining WAC teams have a combined record of 18-36 in conference play and 51-68 overall.

WAC Tour nament play begins in a little more than three weeks and a Louisiana Tech-Fresno Statate finale is likely in the works. The Bulldogs have had little trouble with WAC foes outside the Lady Techsters, outscoring other conference opponents by an average of nearly 21 points, all double-digit victories.

The men, however, are riding a very different path down the final stretch of

the regular season.

Head coach Steve Cleveland’s team hung early with the 17th-ranked Aggies, knotting up the score at 13 about midway through the first half.

The Aggies then proved why they are easily the most dominant team in the WAC. Utah State closed out the first half on a 27-6 run en route to a 40-19-halftime lead.

Fresno State eventually lost 71-55, dropping to 5-8 in conference play and 11-14 overall. Eight of the nine teams qualify for March’s WAC Tournament bracket, and the Bulldogs currently sit as the No. 6 seed.

The Bulldogs have three WAC contenders remaining on the schedule in Boise State, Idaho and Hawaii.

Cleveland and company are 0-3 against the Broncos, Vandals and Warriors and have been outscored by an average of 17 points per game in those matchups.

Fresno State has fell in the quarterfinals each of the last four WAC Tour naments. In those four years, Fresno State has never been higher than the No. 3 seed.

The next two contests could serve as a way for the Bulldogs to right the ship with a pair of out-of-conference games.

On Wednesday Fresno State travels to Cal State Bakersfield. The Bulldogs beat the Roadrunners 79-49 on Feb. 7.

On Saturday the ‘Dogs participate in the ESPN BracketBusters with a home matchup against 9-14 UC Riverside.

EA: Keller to appear in court on Tuesday CONTINUED from page 12 receives from television networks, apparel sales and other sources.

Keller was a highly sought recruit when he graduated from the Bay Area’s San Ramon Valley High School in 2003. He played for three years at Arizona St., garnering MVP honors for his performance as a sophomore in the Sun Bowl.

After losing the starting job, he transferred to Nebraska in 2006 and sat out that season because of NCAA transfer rules. Keller started for the Cornhuskers in 2007 as a redshirt senior before breaking his collar bone against Texas in the ninth game of the season.

Keller’s lawsuit has also unexpectedly ballooned into a major First Amendment challenge, prompting Hollywood’s largest movie studios and dozens of other interests — from the estates of reggae legend Bob Marley and Nobel laureate John Steinbeck to ESPN and the Comic Book Legal

Defense Fund — to weigh in on the case.

T h e h e a r i n g T u e s d ay in the historic Spanish Colonial Revival courthouse in Pasadena will focus on a February 2010 ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken refusing to grant EA free speech protection and dismiss the lawsuit. EA argues that it uses the players’ images to create works of art much in the same way authors, filmmakers and songwriters insert real people in novels, movies and songs.

Wilken ruled against EA, saying the company didn’t sufficiently “transform” the players’ images to qualify for First Amendment protection.

She said EA’s argument that it removed the names of the players from the game wasn’t enough because it was obvious who the nameless images represented real people.

For example, the virtual player wears the same jersey number, is the same height and weight and hails from the same state, Wilken said.

EA and the NCAA appealed and are joined by the Hollywood studios, media companies and other organizations such as the Comic B o o k D e f e n s e F u n d wh o fear that Wilken’s ruling, if allowed to stand, will severely stifle artistic expression.

EA’s lawyers, for instance, predict the demise of movies such as “Forest Gump” that rely heavily on the free use of celebrity images to further a narrative.

“Documentarians, biographers, filmmakers, novelists, photographers, songwriters, and many others do exactly what the district court said is not protected: they create expressive works that realistically depict individuals and/ or refer to them by their actual names,” EA’s lawyers wrote in their appeal.

Allowing the players’ lawsuit to go forward will threaten future movie productions, Motion Picture Association of America wrote in support of EA. “For example, an unau-

thorized biography of Keller, which included photographs of him wearing his college football unifor m or playing college football, would be strictly prohibited,” the MPAA’s attorneys wrote the appeals court. “So too would a motion picture about a fictional college football player that incorporated historical footage of actual college football games and named actual college football players.”

Keller’s attorney dismisses the threats of an artistic Armegeddon if EA ends up owing the players for using their images.

“There is a big difference between those examples and a video game based in realism,” said Steve Ber man, one of Keller’s attor neys.

“They’re whole game is realism. Realism is the opposite of creative expression.”

Keller has his share of supporters, too. Players unions of all major professional sports leagues in the United States back Keller as do the estates of Marley and Steinbeck

“EA’s infringing use of the athletes’ personas is tantamount to stealing, and opens the door for others to freely circumvent the statutory and common law right of publicity of any individual in the future,” wrote lawyers for the Steinbeck estate, the Screen Actors Guild and several other organizations representing authors and actors. “The result can be ruinous to a performers’ career and financial interests, as well as to their families’.”

If Keller prevails, many of the myriad lawyers involved in the case and legal scholars following it closely say the case could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court. Keller said in an interview Thursday from Scottsdale, Ariz. where he lives and manages a hotel bar that he never envisioned his complaint becoming so far reaching.

“The goal wasn’t for it to get so big,” Keller said. “The goal was to change what’s going on in college sports, to change the behavior of the NCAA.”

Softball 2-0 in 2011 opener

By Brandy Flores The Collegian Fans in attendance of Saturday after noon’s softball game were in for a treat, Fresno State ice cream and two victories as the Bulldogs beat Sacramento State 5-4 in 11 innings and 7-4 in the second game of their double-header season opener.

Pitcher Mackenzie Oakes ear ned her first two wins of the season throwing 12.2 innings, including 5.2 innings of scoreless play to close out game one, and Michelle Moses became the first Fresno State softball player to hit for the cycle, going 6-for-8 at the plate.

“I didn’t even know I did that,” Moses said when told of her feat. “Well, that’s awesome. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before.”

In game one, Sacramento State scored first on a throwing error by catcher Caitlin Stiglich in the third inning.

H o w e v e r, t h e B u l l d o g s responded quickly as right fielder Alexis Lujan scored on a throwing error and Moses hit a home run to give Fresno

State a 3-1 lead.

Gilleland doubled the next inning to score another Bulldog run, but a double by Hor nets’ second baseman Devin Caldwell cut the lead in half.

A home run for Sacramento State in the sixth inning tied the game and Moses moved to first as Oakes replaced her as pitcher. Neither team was able to score again until the bottom of the 11th inning when Gilleland, on second base, used her speed off the throwing error of catcher Marissa Navarro to round third and head home for the victory.

In game two the Bulldogs quickly jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first two innings of play and never looked back.

Returning as pitcher, Oakes allowed only one run in the top of the third inning before shutting out the Hornets the next three innings.

“I just needed to refocus for a minute,” said Oakes, “And know I had to work hard for my team and get the team groundballs, give us a chance to score a lot of runs.”

Answering back quickly, the Bulldogs put another three

runs on the board, giving Oakes a large 7-1 lead heading into the top of the seventh inning. Despite a last-minute surge by the Hornets, scoring three more runs in the seventh inning, Fresno State beat Sacramento State for its second win of the day, starting the season 2-0.

“We had some very, very outstanding performances today,” head coach Margie Wright said. “I think it shows a very good team when you have your back against the wall this opening game and you know we were really struggling with their pitcher, and we were able to somehow make it happen.”

As crucial as veteran players like Moses, Gilleland, Oakes and Stiglich were, the Bulldogs were aided by their newcomers this season Demi Walker, Rebecca Hall, Brooke Ortiz and Vonnie Martin.

“I thought that Brooke and Vonnie and Demi did a really nice job and I think they’re going to have great careers here,” Wright said.

Along with scoring two runs, Walker fired a throw to retire Sacramento State’s Alyssa Naken at home after

catching a fly in left field in the top of the first inning of g ame one.

Hall contributed an RBI in game two, Martin got her first collegiate single in game two and Ortiz had a double, three hits and scored two runs in her collegiate debut.

F re s n o S t at e s o f t b a l l hits the road for the next month and retur ns to Bulldog Diamond on March 10 to host the 2011 Bayer CropScience Classic.

Former NCAA player’s suit threatens Hollywood

By Paul Elias Associated Press

Associated Press

Former Arizona State and Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller believes he and the numerous former players featured on EA’s NCAA Football video game deserve compensation for the use of their images.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — There was a time when Sam Keller and his teammates couldn’t wait to get their hands on Electronic Ar ts Inc.’s latest edition of NCAA Football, which included their team and images down to Keller’s distinctive visor he wore while playing quarterback for the University of Nebraska in 2007.

EA shares undisclosed royalties with the NCAA for use of college stadiums, team names and uniforms and the players’ images in a game that racks up hundreds of millions of dollars in annual sales.

Because they are amateur athletes, the players don’t receive any direct benefit from the appearances of their nameless images in the game.

But Keller and an increasing number of players, such as former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon, think they should and have filed at least nine federal lawsuits against the NCAA and EA over the last two years.

On Tuesday, Keller will be in Pasadena to watch his team of lawyers urge the 9th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold a trial judge’s decision that EA and the NCAA appear to owe the former Cornhusker and — by the extension — thousands of other for mer players millions of dollars for using their images in the video game.

“When you are playing, you are kind of naive to the idea that you are being taken advantage of because you are so caught up in playing college football,” said Keller of his decision to sue long after his college career ended and he failed to make the Oakland Raiders 2008 regular season roster. “They are making billions off of our images.”

A Keller victory could dramatically reshape the commercial relationship between the NCAA and its athletes, which are prohibited from receiving compensation tied to their performances. Keller’s attorney and his supporters are floating the idea of setting up a trust fund of sorts with any proceeds from the lawsuits to benefit the athletes.

They envision the NCAA continuing to fund the trust fund with the billions in dollars it See EA, Page 11

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Team makes historic comeback

By AUSTIN MANIERRE Staff Writer amanierre@smu.edu

Associated Press

University of Houston running back Michael Hayes makes a catch and run for 60 yards as SMU defensive tackle Aaron Davis pursues during Saturday afternoon’s game against the Cougars in Houston. SMU lost 37-7.

Mustangs fall to Houston 37- 7

By BROOKE WILLIAMSON Staff Writer kbwilliamson@smu.edu

ESPN’s College Game day rolled into Houston Saturday morning highlighting the late season conference match up between SMU and Houston. SMU rallied against Houston without their leading rusher Zach Line in the national spotlight trying to bust Houston’s BCS run.

Houston’s quarterback Case Keenum passed for 318 yards and one touchdown. The Cougar offense struggled in much of the game despite Keenum’s completion record.

SMU forced Houston to use their defense against the Mustangs to pull off a win.

“This is the best defense I’ve ever seen,” Keenum said.

The Mustangs offense sputtered in much of the game and put up a

mere 93 yards and six first downs in the first half. The Mustangs went into the locker room at the half trailing 13-0.

Houston was able to take control in the second half when SMU gave up two turnovers in the third. The Mustangs first drive out of halftime Houston picked off a touchdown pass in the end zone.

From there, Houston’s Michael Hays connected with Keenum with a screen pass. Hays turned that into a 60-yard run to the SMU 2-yard line but the SMU defense forced a field goal.

Another turnover by SMU gave Houston the opportunity to score again late in the third leaving the score 23-0 as they rolled into the fourth quarter.

The Mustangs found the end zone with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter for their first score of the game. McDermott

connected with Darius Johnson for eight yards.

However, by the time SMU took it to the house Houston had scored a field goal and a touchdown in the third quarter making the game 23-7.

Houston answered the Mustangs touchdown with a score when Keenum rushed for 16 yards for the touchdown making the score 30-7 with a little over six minutes to play.

The Cougars finished off scoring two touchdowns beating SMU 37-7.

Game ball went to Keenum after he set the Football Bowl Subdivision career record for completions on Saturday passing Graham Harrell from Texas Tech who previously held the record with 1,403 yards.

Keenum now has 1,427 yards after Saturday’s game.

The SMU men’s basketball team mounted the third-largest comeback in team history to beat the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles at home on Saturday.

The Mustangs were down 49-32 with 15:28 left in the game after an emphatic fast-break dunk by the Eagles.

At this point, a 17-point comeback looked out of the question and the game looked all but over, but the Mustangs fought back.

The dunk that put FGCU up 17 had silenced the crowd to the point where you could hear a pin drop.

However, what it also did was motivate the Mustangs and shift the momentum in SMU favor.

Gradually, over eight minutes of play, they put together a 17-4 run to make the score 49-53.

The Mustangs were within striking distance, and after trading points with FGCU over a few possessions, they eventually took a 63-62 lead on a Robert Nyakundi 3-pointer.

Nyakundi finished the game with 18 points and eight rebounds, including four threepointers, a couple of blocks, and a steal. More importantly, he was instrumental in SMU’s second half comeback.

This 63-62 lead the Mustangs gained was their first lead since 3:27 in the first half. It was a short-lived lead, though.

The Eagles responded with 2 clutch free throws to put FGCU up 1 with 1:50 to play. Time was running out on the Mustangs as they failed to convert on their next possession.

Then, with 21 seconds left on the clock, Ryan Manuel stole

the ball and made the game-winning bucket. Defense wins championships, as they say. Well, it also can win you a close game.

The Mustangs had three players in double figures on Saturday.

Nyakundi’s 18 tied his season high, Jalen Jones had 15 and London Giles scored 11. The Mustangs shot just 34.6 percent from the field in the first half, but made 52.4 percent in the second.

A big reason this second half percentage was so high is because during their 17-point comeback, the Mustangs made eight of 12 shots between 11:00 and 2:00.

The team barely missed when it

mattered most.

In an interview earlier in the season, Robert Nyakundi used the word “versatile” many times to describe his team. Another word he might want to start associating his team with is “clutch.”

The Mustangs proved on Saturday that they have what it takes not only to come back from large margins, but that they can also close out games that come down to the wire.

The team will be in action again today as they take on Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Okla., in another consolation game for the Dick’s Sporting Goods NIT Season Tip-Off tournament.

Female Athlete of the Week: Marta Lesniak

Coach of the Week: Mike Walker

By MERCEDES OWENS Staff Writer mmowens@smu.edu

After spending the past four years on the SMU men’s basketball team, Mike Walker has traded his uniform in for a suit.

Walker played his last season on the team in 2010 before graduating and being asked to take over the program’s video coordinator position.

When asked how he stumbled upon the job, Walker said that it was an opportunity that was presented to him by Coach Doherty.

“I wanted to get into coaching,” Walker said. “It’s a lot of hard work but it is a step into the profession so it is definitely something I wanted to do.”

For Walker, coaching is all in the family. His dad is also a basketball coach and has been a guiding light for Walker since he started playing before he can even remember. As the Video Coordinator for the Mustangs, Walker is in charge of breaking down scatter reports and getting footage of both the Mustangs and their

opponents.

While NCAA rules restrict video coordinators from working with players on the court, Walker does what he can to help.

“I can help them out in the film,” Walker said. By breaking down film for individual players he is able to give pointers to further their success on the court.

Walker joined the Mustangs as a player all the way from Iowa City in

The Daily Campus

2007 when he played 29 games with 17 starts as a freshman.

Throughout his time on the Moody court, Walker played an influential role on the team.

Not only did he serve as a tricaptain during the most successful season SMU has had in over a decade, but he was also a four-year letterwinner. His senior year, Walker averaged a career-best 6.9 points with 1.5 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals. Also, the Mustang shot 36.7 percent on 3-pointers and earned the team’s Defensive Award.

Walker is currently working to finish his degree in applied physiology and sports management and happy to still be apart of the SMU basketball family.

“Being on the team and being in the huddles allows me to still have that atmosphere of a family,” Walker said.

Despite the differences between being a player and being a coach, Walker is still able to enjoy being a part of the same basketball program that he spent his entire college career with.

She loves music, is deathly afraid of planes and won the National Championship in Tennis.

Marta Lesniak, 23, can’t sit still for long; in fact she won’t be here for much longer. She graduates in December and will head back to Poland, where she is from. Just by talking to her, you can tell Lesniak is a fighter and sets her goals high. Most recently she won the National Championship in tennis.

She started playing when she was 4-years-old.

“After I won my first tournament, I wanted more and more and more,” Lesniak said.

Lesniak definitely fulfilled that desire. A national championship in collegiate sports is just about the granddaddy of them all.

The national championship tournament, in her own words, “was amazing from the first day to the last.”

Lesniak never expected to win the entire tournament. She says it was a “shock.”

She recalls finding herself in the semifinals and being “a little bit nervous,” but once she found herself in the finals she didn’t know what to do. So she played, just like she had done on the court her entire life. The first round she recalls playing really badly. Suddenly it was the championship point, “oh

my god, oh my god, oh my god, it is happening.”

Lesniak was beside herself, beaming with joy.

“It feels amazing,” she said.

Now tennis season is over and she is only practicing eight hours a week, instead of the usual 20. She and her roommate also just got a dog, but Lesniak alluded to the fact that she is going to take her home.

Lesniak’s roommate is someone she said she should have met years ago.

They both attended the same academy in Spain but never met there. Coincidentally, when they both enrolled at SMU they became roommates.

“She is the best person I know,” Lesniak said.

When she is not thinking about tennis, she is listening to music — her other passion. She is so passionate about music that the back of her tracksuit reads, “House Music.”

She describes her four years at SMU as a great experience, in which she has left her legacy here on campus as a leader and a champion.

VOLLEYBALL

After loss to UCF, team prepares for final match of the season

By CESAR RINCON Staff Writer crincon@smu.edu

The SMU volleyball team was defeated in a tight face off against UCF Sunday afternoon at Moody Coliseum. The Mustangs dropped their overall record to 14-17 and their conference record to 10-9, while the Knights improved to 11-8 in the conference and 19-11 for

the season.

The sets went back and forth, as they were being won one by one by both teams. The first set was a tight fight, but the Knights took the set with a 25-21 win. UCF actually had the most errors, but they had more kills and were more offensive on the court. The Mustangs were able to take the lead four times, but they only had a one-point lead, which

was not enough to take control over the set for a victory. The Mustangs fought harder on the second set and took it from UCF to tally up a 1-1 score. SMU had three more service errors than UCF, but were clearly more offensive then the Knights.

The Mustangs had 14 kills that lead them to the 25-18 victory of the set.

The Knights dominated the third set and took it with a 25-20 victory.

The Mustangs never showed up for a comeback, as they could not even tie the set at any point. The Mustangs responded in the fourth set by taking control of the match. The Knights managed to tie the match at 3-3, but never got back in the set as SMU went on to lead them by 13 points at 25-12. SMU forced the match in to a fifth set, which would determine to victor of the match.

The set looked like was going to be taken by UCF, as they lead the Mustangs with a score of 9-2.

Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Daly got a block in, and the Mustangs were on road for a comeback. SMU was piling up aces and blocks that lead them to a 13-13 tie. The set then had to be won by two points in order to declare the winner. The Knights took the win home with a

set score of 18-16, and a final score of 3-2. SMU tied the school record for most blocks in a five-set match with 19.0 blocks, the second time this season the Mustangs have blocked 19 attacks.

The Mustangs will host Tulsa for the final match of the regular season on Nov. 26 at 1 p.m. SMU will honor its four seniors in a ceremony before the match.

JFK: Legacy to be remembered, honored CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

of the Sixth Floor Museum Nicola Longford said.

Longford says she hears new stories from visitors every day, many of which are highly emotional.

“I think Dallas particularly is still scarred from that time period,” she said.

According to Longford, the Sixth Floor Museum aims to serve as an outlet for people, local and foreign, to share the powerful feelings evoked by the incident.

“Our job is to reach out to as many people [as we can], and let them know we want to hear if they have something to share, even if they don’t think it’s important,” she said.

Described as “an educational examination of the life, death and legacy of President John F. Kennedy within the context of American history,” the museum uses historic films, photographs, artifacts and

informative displays to chronicle the assassination and legacy of JFK. “The exhibit is special because it’s actually on the sixth floor; it’s still connected to the historic space,” Longford said.

Since opening in 1989, the landmark has attracted visitors from all over the world, including Australian Jeffrey Mitchell, who was recently visiting the museum while traveling through Dallas.

Mitchell was on the other side of the world in Ballarat, Australia at the time of Kennedy’s assassination.

Despite his distance from the incident, Mitchell said he knew about JFK’s death almost immediately.

“Somehow I must have heard it on the radio or something like that,” he said.

Then 18 years old, Mitchell remembers exactly where he was when he heard the news.

“I was at home, standing near the cupboard,” he said.

In addition to meeting visitors from all over the world, like Mitchell, Langford often hears stories from people who were in school in the U.S. at the time of the assassination.

She says they remember watching their teachers cry or coming home to find their mothers in tears.

Many recall being too young to comprehend the event at the time.

“They didn’t really understand what had happened,” Langford said.

James Casey, who was 14 in ‘63, is one of those people.

The day of JFK’s assassination, Casey’s ninth grade English teacher was floating on air after spending breakfast with the president, who spoke at a Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast that morning.

“I remember she came into school and was talking about it and was all excited,” Casey said.

“Then, when they announced over the loud speaker he was dead, she just cracked up.”

Touring the Sixth Floor Museum for the second time, the Fort Worth native said he didn’t quite understand what had happened or why everyone was so upset that day.

He was just excited to go home for the weekend.

“I was 14. It was Friday afternoon. I didn’t care,” he said.

Matt Quinn, who was 12 years old at the time of the assassination, shared a similar experience.

He recalled hearing the announcement of the shooting over his junior high school’s PA system, followed by the students being released from school.

“I remember being with

Since 1951

a bunch of friends, kind of walking home, and most of the kids not realizing what had really happened,” Quinn said.

“I don’t think most 12-year-old kids, including myself, realized at the time what an event it was.”

Then living in Westchester County, N.Y., Quinn said the television coverage of the event was constant during the week following the assassination.

“It was the first event like that, so everywhere you went, it was on television,” Quinn said.

“Everybody was watching.”

“I think people were just shocked,” Longford said.

“They just wondered what on earth was happening to the world.”

Although she was an infant living in England at the time of Kennedy’s death, Longford says she feels a certain connection with the story.

“It wasn’t part of my memory

or part of anything I grew up with, but that doesn’t mean I don’t find it interesting and compelling,” she said.

As the anniversary of the assassination approaches, bringing larger crowds to the Sixth Floor Museum as it does every year, Longford says she hopes museum visitors leave the experience feeling inspired.

“We have a very compelling story to tell,” Longford said. “It’s a very powerful visit.”

Walking through the exhibit, former Air Force member Foley pauses at a window facing Elm Street.

He gazes down at the road where the presidential limousine was traveling when John F. Kennedy was fatally shot.

“It’s just like it happened yesterday,” he said, his voice wavering.

DARFUR: Movement revived at SMU HOLIDAY: Christmas comes early CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Darfur” Friday night in Meadows hoping to raise awareness about the issues.

The night consisted of a silent auction of artwork by SMU students and two human rights speakers.

Paulette Cooper, a volunteer from the Dallas Peace Center, spoke about her experiences while visiting Darfur in 2008.

She spoke with tears in her eyes as she described her life-changing encounter with a 14-year-old girl.

All it took was one picture to make many in the room cry:

a picture of this 14 year old in shackles.

“She wanted to go to school and her dad wanted her to marry his 53-year-old friend,” Cooper said.

“When you are standing with this kid who is crying because she can’t go to school, it leaves a mark on your soul.”

Dr. Halperin spoke at the event as well. He urged people to “serve as human rights advocators” and warned everyone that, “when you do nothing the status quo continues.”

After hearing both Dr. Halperin

and Cooper speak, Ali Anwar, a member of Students For a Better Society, was touched by the event.

“I think that more people need to get involved with things like this,” she said. ”Turning your back on human beings is unforgivable.

All it takes is being a part of something like this.”

Tears, artwork and words of inspiration were all shared by the end of the night. However, Cooper’s statement that, “one person always makes a difference” sparked inspiration in the minds of all who were present.

that they would not be able to turn their stores into a winter wonderland in time for the holiday season without decorating before Thanksgiving, why does everyone else (towns, organizations and individuals) have to jump on that bandwagon?

Here at SMU some sorority and fraternity houses are decorated, some of which have been decorated for weeks.

Preparations for Celebration of Lights are well underway and passersby can now see Dallas Hall and the surrounding area

dressed in white lights. Even driving around University Park one can see the excitement of Christmas.

I do commend Highland Park Village, and those other towns, organizations and people for holding off on their decorations until after Thanksgiving.

Even if it’s the day after, like Highland Park Village’s tree lighting event, “A Village Holiday,” on Friday.

It allows people to be fully invested in the Thanksgiving holiday without having a constant reminder of the next holiday to come. Nordstroms

has also held off on the decorating because, according to their signage, they enjoy “the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time.”

As you continue to listen to Christmas carols over the radio and hold your Starbucks red cup, think about the holiday that you will be celebrating on Thursday and the true meaning behind it.

I’m not trying to sound like a Grinch, because I do like the Christmas cheer, but don’t let the excitement of Christmas, which is still over a month away, take away from the holiday at hand.
