Making the cut With less state funding and continuous downsizing, University students, faculty and staff should expect the elimination of programs and even the loss of positions within their colleges.

Though the budget cuts for fiscal year 2012 will be somewhat offset by tuition and fees, the University has had to make some sacrifices as a result of previous reductions.

In the past three years, 272 faculty, 255 staff and 73 graduate assistant positions have been eliminated, according to the University’s FY12 budget narrative.

Here’s what some schools and colleges on campus are planning to cut for FY12: The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences laid off 18 staff members and sold a 522-acre research farm.

The College of Veterinary Medicine may have to cut operating support to its Rose Creek Farm, which is used to give students handson training.

Franklin College of the Arts and Sciences is eliminating 18 vacant faculty lines and disconnecting 706 network devices.

The School of Public and International Affairs will lose approximately 540 student seats and 1,620 credit hours. The school is also eliminating two full-time temporary instructors and 2.5 graduate assistantships.

The College of Pharmacy is delaying the expansion of its Albany Pharmacy Program and reducing IT support and funds for new computers as well as distance learning equipment.

The College of Family and Consumer Sciences is losing an activities coordinator, a faculty position and credit hour funding that would’ve been used to hire new tenure-track faculty.

Many colleges within the University have been forced to make budget cuts, including the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

The Student Government Association fought for years for the power to allocate student fees. And that power was taken away after one roadside incident.

SGA members are looking into impeachment proceedings against Treasurer Inman Porter.

After Porter was charged with public intoxication on June 11 for running shirtless on the GA-10 Loop, the charges were later dropped on June 20.

Days after his arrest, SGA President Mallory Davis said she received a letter from Rodney Bennett, vice president for student affairs, informing her SGA lost its power to distribute the Student Activity Fee, a roughly $1.8 million fund which SGA won control of in 2009.

In his letter dated June 15, Bennett wrote, “In light of recent news reports of the arrest of Inman Porter, Student Government Association Treasurer, I am rescinding my approval for the Student Government Association to create and chair the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee for the 2011-2012 academic year. This decision is effective immediately, and SGA’s leadership of the allocation process will remain suspended until such time as you have the opportunity to conduct your own review of this situation and implement any action(s) you deem necessary. My primary concern is that the integrity and credibility of the allocation of Student Activity Fee funds is held to the highest standard.”

Porter has refused to step down. He said an investigation should be conducted quickly so he can be cleared and continue with his role as SGA’s treasurer.

“I don’t think my decision-making and leadership should be questioned,” Porter said. “The impeachment of an innocent man is not what’s going to make our organization stronger.”

However, Davis maintains that Porter’s actions have damaged SGA as an organization and insists on his resignation.

“We went through our own sort of investigation internally and from there, we had some discussions

President Mallory Davis and SGA temporarily lost the ability to allocate the Student Activity Fee after Inman Porter’s June arrest. with Inman and other students — SGA and nonSGA students — as well as administrators to figure out where we should go from here,” Davis said.

Porter said he does not plan on resigning.

“I’m not resigning because I’m innocent,” he said. “The police dropped the charges. I think we need to focus on issues with students.”

Robbie Ottley, SGA President Pro Tempore, said continuing with student business is impossible as long as Porter remains treasurer.

“With [Student Activity Fees] having been rescinded as a direct result of Inman’s arrest, it calls into question our organization’s legitimacy,” said Robbie Ottley, SGA president protempore and sports writer for The Red & Black. “It calls further into question whether student government is serving the students.”

He said Porter should more carefully examine his future in student government.

“Look at what your actions have done to the organization and how stressed out everyone is as a result of this and how it’s really derailing our ability

to think about things that concern students,” Ottley said. “This is a massive distraction.”

Impeachment would require a quorum and a two-thirds vote by the SGA Senate, which is unlikely to occur until classes begin in the fall.

After impeachment proceedings, SGA may vote to remove Porter from office, Ottley said.

“It’s really unfortunate that it’s come to this, however he is refusing to resign,” Davis said.

Davis has had multiple discussions about Porter’s arrest with administrators including Bennett and Bill McDonald, dean of students.

Administration officials did not hear about the arrest until the publication of a Red & Black article on June 14 (“SGA treasurer charged with public intoxication,” June 14, 2011).

“I was advised by my lawyers and I was advised by my family to wait until the legal issues were settled,” Porter said.

Porter’s father is Dubose Porter, who served as minority leader for the Georgia House of Representatives in 2010.

His mother, Carol, ran for Lt. Governor in 2010.

Rutherford at center of tug of war

For students, this school year may mark the first and last year they stay in Rutherford Hall before it is demolished.

The University sent a proposal to the Board of Regents in June asking to tear down the 72-year-old building that was constructed during the Great Depression.

The proposal, which was met with great dismay from former Rutherford residents and members of the University community, includes upgrading the now 159-bed dorm to 260 beds and updated water and electrical systems, changes administrators and housing officials believe are sufficient for the 21st century student.

In June, several members of the University community rallied to prevent the demolition, some of which believe was easily preventable if there were a preservation plan.

The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation mobilized the news media to inform the Athens and University communities of a slight erasure of campus history.

Some University students, employees and alumni have started a petition to prevent the razing of Rutherford.

Despite several attempts to prevent the University from demolishing the beloved dorm, it is quite possible that the University could see a newer dorm next fall.

According to consultation reports by Armentrout Matheny Thurmond, a local engineering firm, it is recommended that Rutherford be demolished, despite a recent improvements to the building.

Contrarily, a 2009 investigation conducted by The Red & Black revealed the building may have been beyond repair.

Student-reported work orders stated that many had mold growing in their rooms and leaky roofs or air conditioners, among other complaints.

There has also been dispute as to how the demolishing the dorm will save more money.

It is estimated that construction will cost $3 million, nearly the same amount to renovate it.

The University will not know whether Rutherford will be demolished until August 9. Construction would begin May 2012.

Stop stereotypes and live life well I

’m white. And I’m a male. And I’m a Christian. You can imagine my surprise then when in the spring semester, I was asked to be the ‘diversity reporter’ for The Red & Black.

I was supposed to cover black events, Asian events, Jewish events, drag shows and on and on and on.

The only ‘minority’ event in which I’d ever participated was Café Soul with the Black Affairs Council last fall, but that was it.

I got tense thinking about what other people at the events I was covering were going to think of me — the quintessential, entitled white guy.

The thought that kept going through my head was, “Well at least going to this drag show will give me something to talk about with my straight friends.”

My concept was naïve — I’ll go report on all of these events, and then wander back into my bubble of friends to tell about all the foreign, exotic people with their bizarre, liberal practices.

Boy was I wrong.

It might shock you, but feminists don’t burn bras.

Also, not all Jewish people eat kosher, and some Catholics use YAZ. And black people watch “Dancing with the Stars.”

And wouldn’t you know it, they also read, bite their nails, diet and wear flannel. Shocking.

And not all Asian people study all the time or act like surfers.

In addition, not all gay people ‘look gay’. Nor do they all have lisps or wear assless chaps.

And neither the Wesley Foundation nor the Baptist Collegiate Ministries carried ‘God Hates Fags’ signs in their services.

Not everyone in worshipful attendance was a

Republican either.

We’re all different. But we’re not that different.

We are each just responding to the world in different ways.

Last year, I learned most of my stereotypes are wrong. But not only are they wrong, they affect the way I perceive others, and they affect the way I perceive myself.

I wouldn’t put myself in a situation to be challenged.

Life is like a game of Battleship, but if we don’t put our ships on the board and in enemy territory, we never get to learn the other player’s strategy.

And we are disconnected from the opponent.

Here’s the deal — in college, we are here for four (give or take a few) years. And we are only going to keep up with a few of our friends when we graduate. So why worry about being judged here?

Are we really going to worry about what that guy standing in line at the dining hall or that girl walking a seeing-eye dog thinks about us?

Go out and conquer your fear of people.

Even though I still haven’t been in the weight room yet, I’ve begun doing cardio at Ramsey and run on the track. And using the wireless in Russell is much easier than walking to the MLC and is way closer to my parking spot.

As a campus, let’s stop stereotyping and get comfortable with one another.

We have nothing but ignorance to lose.

N

Polina Marinova University, I was confused as to why this no longer held true.

I am the one paying for my education and for taking these classes, so I think I should be the one who makes the decision whether I attend every day or not.

I’ve probably missed two days of class in my college career, but that’s only because my learning style is taking notes and listening to the professor.

But I have friends who are brilliant without needing to wake up at 8 a.m. each day to look at a PowerPoint presentation when they could read the book and still make an ‘A’.

Even if I know I won’t miss class, the fact I’ll be punished for missing three sessions during the semester bothers me.

It’s my time, and it’s my grade. If I choose not to attend, maybe I’ll fail the exam and then learn from my own mistakes. But the only person’s time I’m wasting by missing a day in a 300-person lecture hall is my own.

I thought I was 20 years old. Please treat me that way.

New religion doesn’t need faith W

hen explaining my religious beliefs to people, I am often met with looks of confusion. Although I am Jewish, I have no belief in God or the afterlife. I believe in facts and evidence — the rest is superstition.

“But how are you Jewish if you don’t believe in God?” people often ask me.

And while Jewish atheist might seem like a contradiction to some, I like to think of it as a way to update religion for the 21st century.

Old time religion no longer serves the needs of people living in this day and age.

The scientific method has invalidated religion’s claim to explain the natural world. The devout may claim to live by faith, but they still look both ways before crossing the street.

And religion serves us no better in the realm of moral guidance.

How can we struggle with complex moral questions if we are taught to blindly follow orders from God above?

And organized religion is quickly becoming irrelevant to young people’s lives. One fourth of 18 to 29 year olds are unaffiliated with any religion, according to Pew Research Center.

But people are still craving meaning in their lives and want to feel a sense of belonging within a grand and magnificent scheme.

Jonathan Rich This is why we need a new type of religion to guide us in the 21st century. The holy books — such as the Torah, the Gospels and the Quran — should no longer be seen as literal truth but as metaphors.

They are powerful myths designed to teach us how to make sense of the human cosmic mystery.

Although these myths contain timeless truths, they are a product of an historical time and place very different from our own.

We need a new set of myths to help humanity face the unique challenges of life in the 21st century. In crafting the new religion, we must recognize we are living in a global society.

Individuals from every culture on the planet are connected as interdependent units.

And yet, we often feel a profound sense of isolation. We long for simpler times of close-knit communities, extended families and lifelong friendships.

Whatever religion we come up with can give us a sense of belonging to the global community. We need religious values to help us see ourselves as part of a global com-

munity instead of a tribal unit.

Ancient religion has become far too parochial. Traditional Judaism has become obsessed with selfpreservation by shunning intermarriage with gentiles. Christianity offers salvation only to those who place faith in Christ. Religion has no future if it does not become secular and humanistic.

Recognizing religious texts as metaphors is a first step.

As metaphors, religious beliefs become open to discussion, debate and interpretation. Dogmatism and obedience would be discouraged in favor of open-ended inquiry.

Religion will become a way of empowering people to create their own meaning about life’s big questions.

This is why my Jewish atheism is a way of honoring Judaism’s proudest ethical traditions by making it relevant to the time in which we are living. And while certain sacrifices must be made — such as the belief that we are God’s chosen people — the benefits far outweigh the costs.

We can retreat into the ancient past, or we can move forward with religious values for the new millennium.

The choice is up to us.

Labor no longer honorable

I

t has taken me a long time to decide what I think about Georgia’s new immigration bill, House Bill 87.

I have weighed the conservative argument that illegal immigrants are a strain on our government systems and a deterrent to national unity. I have considered the liberal argument that undocumented workers are a driving force behind our economy and a part of our culture. And I am still not satisfied by either view.

But what I have learned from HB 87 is that American ideas about labor are hurting the economy, and they must change.

Farmers complain without foreign labor, their crops are rotting in the fields. Yet 9.8 percent of Georgians are unemployed according to the Department of Labor, and the Census Bureau reports that 16.6 percent live below the poverty line.

Jobs are available, yet there is still unemployment. Why? Because even the poorest of legal Georgians look down on laboring in fields and factories.

Comparisons between our current recession and the Great Depression abound. Historians argue World War II pulled America out of the Great Depression, but it wasn’t the war itself that turned things around for our nation: it was the fact that everyone went to work — the rich and poor, women and men. Everyone was working wherever their hands were needed despite their background.

Then, labor was honorable. It was patriotic, and people who did not work were labeled miscreants and dissenters.

Now, the people who do work in the fields, the foreign workers, are called miscreants, and our society views their jobs as so debasing that

Assigned seats are not for 20-year-olds

o talking. Assigned seats. Attendance policy.

No, I’m not talking about middle school. I’m talking about my 300-person history class at the University.

There I was in my designated seat for the entire semester in between someone suffering from severe bronchitis and a guy who apparently thought Febreze was a substitute for cologne.

Even though I had friends in the class, I couldn’t sit with them because the seating chart was determined by alphabetical order — all because the professor wanted to take attendance.

Attendance was taken daily and after a certain amount of tardies or absences, points were to be deducted from the student’s final grade.

This is not a one-time phenomenon. In my two years at the University, I have had four lecture classes that recorded attendance.

Since when did this become a norm in college?

I clearly remember when representatives from universities came to my high school and talked to us about life in college.

One of the points they emphasized time after time was that college students were treated like adults and if we chose not to attend class, it was our own decision.

So when I got to the

Emily Patrick even the most desperate Americans will not stoop to pick an onion.

Our national identity is tied closely to people who worked. Our ancestors came here with nothing and built a prosperous nation out of dirt and trees and farmland. Regardless of who they had been, when they got here, they worked. How can a nation founded on labor sustain itself when its citizens turn their backs on that founding principle?

As a nation, we must get back to the ideals on which we were founded.

If we want to maintain our relevant position in the global economy, we must all go to work wherever we can.

We must understand that labor, no matter how lacking in glamour it may be, is always necessary and always honorable.

Idle hands are un-American.

Our politicians have a responsibility to set an example and reform society’s view of labor. I want to see the president and cabinet members working in a garden from time to time. Candidates should put more emphasis on touring crop land and factories.

While there is work to be done in America, 9.8 percent unemployment is unacceptable. We must remove the stigma from physical labor, which is what made our country great.

We must take pride in working for a better America, no matter what that work entails.

Meet the top administrators Michael F. Adams, President

ADAMS

Michael F. Adams has been the University’s president since 1997. Several additions to the campus have been built during his tenure, including the Miller Learning Center; the addition to the Tate Student Center; new residence halls and a dining commons on East Campus; a new home for the Lamar Dodd School of Art; and an expansion of Sanford Stadium and the Women’s Athletic Complex. Adams served as chairman of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges and has served as chairman of the American Council on Education, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. He holds a bachelor’s degree in speech and history from David Lipscomb College, earned a master’s in political communications and a doctorate in political communications, with a cognate emphasis in educational administration, from The Ohio State University.

Jere Morehead,

Provost, Senior VP for Academic Affairs Jere Morehead was named senior vice president for academic affairs and provost in fall of 2009, following a national search. He has served the University in several leadership positions since joining the faculty in 1986, including vice president for instruction and vice provost for academic affairs. In that time, he has come to love many places on campus, such as North Campus and the East Village Commons, where he can interact with students. He has also won numerous teaching awards as a professor in the Terry College of Business. “I enjoy being around so many individuals who are committed to making UGA one of the greatest research universities in the United States,” MOREHEAD Morehead wrote in an e-mail to the Red & Black.

Tim Burgess,

Laura Jolly,

Senior VP for Finance and Administration

VP for Instruction

Tim Burgess was named senior vice president for finance and administration in 2006 and, in this capacity, also serves as treasurer for the UGA Athletic Association, treasurer for the UGA Research Foundation, finance director for the Arch Foundation, and chairman of the UGA Real Estate Foundation. Burgess initially joined the University in 1999 after spending 20 years in Georgia government. After leaving the University, he worked as the chief financial officer for the Georgia Technology Authority, was the first commissioner of the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicle Safety and also served as the commissioner of the Georgia Department of Community Health. He rejoined the University as associate vice president and budget director in 2005. Burgess is a 1977 graduate of the University, holding a bachelor’s degree in political science. He holds a master’s degree in public administration from Georgia State University.

Laura Jolly, dean of the College of Family and Consumer Science, was named interim vice president for instruction in January and is responsible for overseeing continued improvements to teaching, advising and student learning on campus. Jolly was named dean of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences in 2007 and has been a professor in the Department of Retail, Hospitality and Tourism Management in the University of Tennessee’s College of Education, Health and Human Sciences. Previously, she was at the University of Kentucky, where she was chairwoman of the Department of Interior Design, Merchandising and Textiles. She was also a faculty member in the Department of Design, Housing and Merchandising at Oklahoma State University, where she earned her Ph.D. and master’s degree and served as director of the Center for Apparel Marketing and Merchandising.

Rodney Bennett,

Tom S. Landrum,

Rodney Bennett was named vice president for student affairs in 2005.

He is responsible for overseeing the Department of Campus Life and the Tate Student Center, which includes Greek Life and the Center for Leadership and Service; the Disability Resource Center; University Testing Services; Recreational Sports and the Ramsey Student Center; the University Health Center; University Housing; the Department of Student Support; and the Department of Intercultural Affairs.

VP for Student Affairs

VP for Research David Lee sums up his job in three points ­— providing an institutional perspective to research, expanding the University’s research portfolio and making sure research is conducted in a safe, secure environment.

Lee’s own research is dedicated to understanding cancer, but his office encompasses a variety of subjects, including ensuring that all research meets state and federal guidelines and the commercialization of University technology and ideas. The thing Lee loves most about UGA is its people. “It’s what gets me up in the morning,” he said.

Senior VP for External Affairs

VP of Public Affairs Tom Jackson was named vice president of public affairs in 2006.

“My job is telling the story of the University of Georgia to its various constituents,” Jackson said. “We have such wonderful stories to tell.” Jackson joined the University staff in 1974 as broadcast editor in public relations. He left the University for a time, before returning in 1988 as director of public information. He graduated from UGA in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree in history and received a master’s degree from the University in public administration in 2004.

There’s a new HOPE in town, and it’s different from the HOPE program that students once knew.

By understanding the new HOPE, students can avoid the unwelcome—and expensive— surprise of a downgrade in scholarship status.

First, students should find out their HOPE GPA, which has been a component of the scholarship program since 2007. Its impact is greater now that the requirements for the full scholarship are more rigorous.

Some high schools weight GPAs based on AP, IB, and honors classes, and other high schools do not. The HOPE GPA attempts to put all high school GPAs on the same scale by using a standardized formula to weigh grades. Students concerned about their HOPE status should request their HOPE GPA from the Office of Student Financial Aid since it may not be the same GPA they received from their high schools.

The HOPE GPA will be used to determine which students qualify for the Zell Miller Scholarship, which covers 100 percent of tuition. Students must have graduated from high school with a HOPE GPA of 3.7 in addition to an SAT score of 1200 or an ACT score of 26.

The University is researching all current students’ high school HOPE GPAs and test scores to determine their eligibility for the Zell Miller Scholarship.

Students must also maintain a 3.3 GPA while in college to continue to receive the scholarship.

The HOPE scholarship will cover 90 percent of tuition for students who graduated high school with a 3.0 GPA and maintained it in college.

The University will evaluate GPAs at the end of spring semester every year. Students who fall below the 3.0 GPA mark will have one chance to regain the scholarship at the next spring evaluation. Students who lose HOPE more than once will not be eligible to regain it.

Neither HOPE nor the Zell Miller Scholarship will provide funds for books and fees.

Students who have questions about their scholarship eligibility should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS ...

Editor’s Note: This Thursday series chronicles some of the most interesting, monumental and hilarious moments in the University’s history.

Univ. Professor Released From Jail At the end of July in 1980, University professor James Dinnan was released from prison after a 90-day jail sentence for his decision not to reveal his vote after serving on a College of Education promotions committee.

Dinnan voted on a decision that denied tenure and a promotion to former assistant professor of education Maija Blaubergs, who later sued the University, charging that she denied those things because she was a woman.

The judge processing Blaubergs trial ordered Dinnan to reveal his vote, but he refused.

“I just could not teach ethics and principals and live a lie,” Dinnan said about his decision not to reveal his vote, unlike other members of the board.

U.S. District Judge Wilbur Owens sentenced him to a $100 a day fine or 30 days and 90 days in prison.

Football Coaches Added In the summer of 1931, Ted Twomey, Weems Baskin and Herb Maffett were hired to the University’s football coaching staff.

Twomey, who played tackle from Notre Dame from 1927 to 1929, took over the position of end coach for the University.

Baskin took over the position of assistant freshman coach under Johnny Broadnax, after years as a football and track star at Auburn.

Maffett, who was captain of the University’s 1930 football team with AllAmerican honors, took over the position of freshman squad coach.

The Ultimate Student Housing Experience!

Closing post office stirs dissent

The fall of 1970 brought many changes to University housing, including optional refrigerators in every dorm, telephones in all but two residence halls and changes in the on-campus living requirement.

On the recommendation of Richard Armstrong, the University’s director of housing at the time, housing topped requiring students to live on-campus all four years and began to require only first year students to live on-campus.

“This might be an important factor contributing to the pursuit of education at this university,” Armstrong said about the change in requirements.

“We feel that the sophomore is more sophisticated than the freshman, most have been in town for over a year and can make this decision wisely.”

In the fall of 1970, housing faced the problem of not enough housing to accommodate students— leaving 277 women and 208 men without beds, according to Armstrong.

He said that the situation was more dire for men, as their dorms had less space to put up extra beds.

The University responded by opening up Mary Lyndon Hall as an all-male dormitory that year.

In early August of 1988 international students in family housing were worried over the plans to close the post office in the Family Housing administration building. The service which had been around since 1947 often helped international students send their mail to their families overseas.

The space was being converted to “badly needed office space,” according to Housing Director Dan Hallenbeck. The decision was made without any consent of the residents. International students made up 51 percent of the family housing occupants.

Hundreds of signatures were given to Steve Brown, a resident of the Family Housing.

Future meetings will determine harassment rules

By JONATHAN RICH The Red & Black There is good news on the horizon for students and staff concerned with the University’s sexual harassment policy.

A campus committee will begin meeting in September to ensure the University’s harassment policy is fairly implemented. The new panel is being convened by University President Michael Adams in response to a letter the Department of Education sent to all federally funded universities “Across the country, legal counsel at various institutions are reviewing their policies to see if they are in compliance with federal law,” said Meg Amstutz, the executive assistant to the President.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex at any federally funded educational facility.

The DOE letter reminds schools of their responsibility to investigate and address sexual violence.

It also provides guidance regarding procedures for colleges to prevent and address sexual harassment cases.

Sexual harassment is defined by the University’s NonDiscrimination Anti-Harassment policy as “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.”

The NDAH states sexual harassment occurs when conduct “has the purpose or effect of interfering with the individual’s work or educational performance; of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working and/or learning environment; or of interfering with one’s ability to participate in or benefit from an educational program or activity.”

Adams has assigned the School of Law Dean Rebecca White to work with the University’s lawyers to examine and refine the NDAH policy.

In addition to an external attorney, White will be working with Janice Dawkins of the Equal Opportunity Office, Beth Bailey of Legal Affairs, Amanda Patterson of Students Affairs, and Marissa Pagnatarro, associate professor of legal studies.

Additionally, Dean of Students Bill McDonald, associate Vice President for Human Resources Tom Gausvik and Chair of University Council Scott Shamp will be working with the attorneys.

White’s team will report back to Adams in September.

A campus committee will then be created following the recommendations of their report.

“Dean White and the attorneys are looking at overall compliance with federal law and specifically compliance with the most recent direction from the Department of Education,” Amstutz explained.

Compliance has been a major concern following the sexual harassment investigation surrounding Brett Tennent-Brown, an assistant professor of Veterinary Medicine, last February.

The University received complaints regarding Tennent-Brown calling a coworker “bitch,” sending text messages about “getting his dick sucked,” and saying a student would be a “pretty good fuck.”

The investigation concluded Tennent-Brown’s remarks did not constitute sexual harassment, and he was cleared of the charges.

However, concern still lingers regarding where the University draws the line in defining sexual harassment.

“When it comes to the grey line of ‘is it harassment or is it not harassment’ I’m hoping this will be cleared up by the new committee,” Student Government Association President Mallory Davis said.

Davis believes SGA involvement will be effective in influencing the campus committee’s harassment policy.

“This is an issue I feel each and every student should have a voice,” she explained.

“Either myself or someone from my administration will attend these meetings. If there is ever a concern that something won’t be the best thing all students, we will say ‘this is inappropriate.’”

Davis has worked with administrators to ensure student voices are heard by the campus committee.

“The administrators are out to represent us but they see things through administrative lenses and we look through student lenses,” she said.

“I’ve worked tirelessly to build friendships with the administration so they feel comfortable coming to me and students will feel comfortable going to them.”

But how effective will the campus committee be at addressing student concerns?

Amstutz thinks it’s too early to tell.

“Until the committee is established and charged, the membership, scope of its work, meeting schedule, etc. are not yet defined,” she said.

But Davis remains confident the panel will address student needs.

“I am optimistic,” Davis said.

“I feel like this committee is a good start. When you put a bunch of ready and able minds together, you’d be amazed at what you can produce.”

Throughout Athens, several coupon-filled booklets, such as “The Little Coupon Book” are provided to give great bargains and deals for University students and local residents alike.

Athens coupons offer students great deals

By DANIEL SUDDES The Red & Black With rising tuition costs and student fees, more people at the University are looking for ways to save money. This means that people are again engaging in the tried and true tradition of clipping coupons.

There are a wide range of discounts and coupons that are offered by businesses in Athens and are easier to find than ever.

One publication, Passport Magazine, leaves books of coupons in the mail for students. According to their website, www.athenspassport.com, the company mails directly to homes throughout the greater Athens area four times a year.

“I’m sure that those who are using coupons are getting more than they have been getting [in the past],” said Shane Wells, a former

general manager at Passport Magazine.

According to Wells, Passport Magazine specifically attempts to attract University students by focusing on businesses that are already frequented by people at the University.

“We also do hand-outs at the fraternities and sororities,” Wells said.

Although the magazine mainly specializes in coupons for restaurants and dining options, Passport Magazine offers coupons from all types of businesses.

Coupons are being offered from restaurants include Casa Mia, Buffalo’s Southwest Café, and Domino’s Pizza on Passport Magazine’s website.

Of course, most people put coupons to use here at the University.

With the fall semester starting in less than a month, the University

bookstore has been seeing an increase in the use of coupons and discounts. It is not just students who are taking advantage of the discounts, but students’ parents and other visitors.

“We get more parents of students using the coupons. The older you are, the more likely you are to look through the magazines,” said Felicia Pierson, a senior broadcast major who works customer service at the University bookstore.

Additionally, the coupons have helped raise sales at the book store.

“Usually, people spend more than what the coupon requires,” Pierson said.

Coupons can be found anywhere and give students a chance to save money while explore new, exciting locations in Athens. More coupons may be found at www.athenspassport.com or in various publications.

Alums create streetscapes for city in China ‘Sustainable’ designs a priority for project

By TUCKER GREEN The Red & Black Three University graduates are working together to improve the quality of life in a place 8,000 miles from home.

Brett Wylie, Matt Livermore and Matt Friesen are landscape architects for HOK, the U.S.’s largest architectural firm. They are working on a project to design 55 kilometers of streetscapes to improve quality of living in the growing Chinese city Zhuhai.

“The group that we’re in [at HOK] is called the Planning Group,” said Wylie, a 1992 landscape architecture graduate. “It’s a group that predominantly focuses on helping shape communities, designing open space, and developing sustainable strategies toward our environment.”

Zhuhai, which means “Pearl of the Sea,” is located in mainland China,

across the bay from Hong Kong.

Wylie, Livermore and Friesen’s project seeks to design improvements to Zhuhai’s infrastructure, including better connections to transit, safer pedestrian movement and fully integrated community public spaces for recreation.

In addition to the 55 kilometers of streetscapes, the group will design 10 kilometers of urban waterfront promenades and 12 major urban parks.

Wylie said there are two parts to the design process: the actual designing of the project, and then the turning of that design into documents that are given to workers in Zhuhai so they can make the design a realization.

Wylie specializes in the design process, Livermore focuses on documentation, and Friesen works on both.

“Documentation is very technical and requires a lot of technical experience,” said Friesen, a 2007 landscape architecture graduate. “What makes designers excited about work is the creation and the coloring and the more creative aspect.”

Wylie, Livermore and Friesen each

emphasized the large scale of the Zhuhai project.

“It’s such a big project that you have to be somewhat versatile,” Friesen said. “You start with the big framework of a design and then you come back and fill in the detail.”

HOK encompasses architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and engineering. The company was founded in St. Louis but has since grown to have offices throughout the world.

Though the University graduates work out of HOK’s Atlanta office, they each travel to Hong Kong and stay for weeks at a time to work.

Wylie and Livermore are there now.

“Travelling here isn’t all that difficult once you get used to it,” said Livermore, a 2006 landscape architecture graduate. “English is pretty common, and the office has a really interesting and diverse mix of employees.”

Friesen said HOK does projects all around the world. Since he has worked there, he has spent time in Toronto, London, Singapore, Israel, Doha, and most major U.S. cities.

Park it like it’s hot: downtown prices rise

By TUCKER GREEN The Red & Black Changes to the downtown Athens parking system will affect returning students — visitors must now pay to park in spaces until 10 p.m. and a new parking deck is available for student use.

The change in prices went in to effect July 1 in an effort to generate more revenue and means that visitors must now feed the meter until 10 p.m.

The new parking deck, opening at the corner of Lumpkin Street and Washington Street, aims to alleviate parking problems and provide new space for businesses in downtown Athens.

The Athens Downtown Development Authority says the parking deck will open at the end of August or beginning of September and have 520 spots and seven floors.

The deck will house multiple businesses at ground level. While not all businesses have been announced, three have been: Waffle House, Mama Goldberg’s Deli, and Fuzzy’s Tacos.

Hourly parking at the deck will cost $1.50, while entry after 7 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday will cost $5.

On game days, customers can pay $40.00 for access to the parking deck.

The deck will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

SUMMER CRIME Former employee accused of robbing students at gun point

SEAN TAYLOR | The Red & Black

Volunteer placement at Athens Regional Medical Center (pictured) will be Aug. 17, and students must be able to work three to 15 hours per week.

Opportunities to give back Students find chances to volunteer in Athens

By EMILY PATRICK The Red & Black

Getting involved means getting out there.

The University’s Center for Leadership and Service pairs students with Universitysponsored volunteer activities, but Athens hosts its own array of opportunities that can connect students to the community.

Volunteering can boost a résumé and better the world, but it has other positive benefits as well. Involvement with a volunteer group can help students become acquainted with their new town and meet people outside of their own age group.

For students interested in the outdoors, there are many farms around Athens seeking dedicated volunteers to help plant, pick and maintain their crops. Farm work is difficult, but it can be relaxing as well, and some farmers share their harvest.

The Athens Farmers Market and Athens Locally Grown are two organizations that can connect students with farmers in search of help.

Interested in produce more than production? Daily Groceries Co-Op accepts volunteers to run the small grocery store on Prince Avenue. Training is on Saturday mornings at 11 a.m. for a variety of positions such as stocker and cashier.

Volunteers at the co-op receive a “working membership” that entitles them to a discount of approximately five percent per hour worked per week.

At Athens Regional Medical Center, students interested in a career in health services

LEND A HAND Here are just some places that offer volunteer opportunities around Athens: • Daily Groceries Co-Op • Athens Regional Medical Center • Athens Regional Library benefit from hands-on training. Their program, which is exclusively for students, places volunteers throughout the hospital in departments such as anesthesia, cardiac rehabilitation, speech therapy and motherbaby.

New volunteer placement will take place on Aug. 17. Students must be available to work three to 15 hours per week for the entire semester and attend an orientation on the 18th.

For students who prefer dogs to docs, Athens-Clarke County Animal Control is always seeking volunteers to help with their website and interact with the animals.

The Athens Regional Library isn’t all about books. It has opportunities for many different kinds of volunteers such as tutors, event staff, computer instructors, store clerks and shelvers.

And the Georgia Museum of Art seeks library staff in addition to tour guides and shop keepers.

The Athens-Clarke County Government is another resource for community-focused students. Sandy Creek Nature Center, Bear Hollow Zoo, the Morton Theater and the Lyndon House Arts Center are all maintained by the county and are all seeking volunteers.

A former University food services worker was arrested by AthensClarke County Police on June 8, on multiple felony charges, including armed robbery and burglary.

The crimes were reported at 2:38 a.m. and shortly afterward Tommy Ray Williams IV, 22, a former employee of Oglethorpe Dining Commons, was apprehended.

An officer was on his way to respond to a report of armed robbery when he was informed that the victims had followed the suspect to an apartment on Fourth Street, according to the Athens-Clarke County incident report.

When he arrived at the suspect’s location, one of the victims identified the car used in the robbery.

The officer knocked on the door of the car’s owner and arrested Williams, in his underwear, as he was trying to exit the bedroom.

The victim informed the arresting officer he and his friends were at their apartment on Riverbend Parkway when three males entered the apartment around 10 p.m. on Tuesday and robbed them at gun point. None of the suspects wore masks or gloves.

One of the victims recognized him from the dining hall, but did not know his name until he found it from a “mutual acquaintance” they contacted by phone.

That acquaintance reportedly gave the victims Williams’ name and address after the robbery.

A search of William’s apartment yielded five cell phones, two credit cards, two gift cards and four bags of marijuana.

Williams was booked into the Clarke County Jail at 5:13 a.m.

Wednesday and faces charges of armed robbery, burglary, two charges of theft of financial transaction card, felony possession of a controlled substance, felony drug offense within 1,000 feet of a school and possession of marijuana with the intent to sell.

He was terminated from his position at the University on April 15.

Student charged with criminal trespass A University student was charged with criminal trespass intrusion upon property by an Athens-Clarke County Police officer at 6 a.m. on June 5.

Reeve Joseph Wainright, 25, was discovered sleeping on the living room couch in a house that he didn’t live in on Tara Way. The residents of the house called the police when they heard someone open the front door and walk inside the house.

They then climbed out of the house through the bathroom window

Documents and waited in a neighbor’s yard for the police to arrive, according to the police report. The residents reportedly had a rifle with them.

The police arrived, entered the house, and discovered Wainright sleeping on the living room couch with no shoes on. Wainright appeared to be very intoxicated and told the police that he was at a friend’s house on the east side. He also asked for his shoes repeatedly.

Wainright was charged with criminal trespass and transported to the Clarke County Jail. His shoes were not found on the property.

Student charged with disorderly conduct, barred from The Grill

A University student was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct at 2:45 a.m. on June 4.

Athens-Clarke County units were dispatched to The Grill where they were met by the manager who told them a couple of females had been disorderly and that one struck him across the face.

Prior to the arrival of the police, Allison Poindexter, a University student, threw up outside the occupied bathroom.

The manager then instructed Poindexter and her friend Jessica Ricketts, another University student, to leave, according to the police report.

Ricketts, 24, reportedly argued with him and told him that she was going to eat her food before she left.

The manager told her that she would not be served, but Ricketts replied “you don’t know who I am” and asked him if he wanted to be hit when he commanded her to leave the restaurant again.

Ricketts reportedly slapped the manager across the face and then went to sit down at a table.

The manager called 911 and barred both students from the restaurant for the next two years.

Ricketts admitted to having consumed alcohol and registered positive for breath alcohol on the Alco-sensor (.153). She reportedly denied having slapped the manager.

When the officer asked Poindexter why Ricketts slapped the manager and she replied “because he was being a jerk to us.”

The officer noted Poindexter had the odor of alcoholic beverage on her breath and had “red, glassy eyes”.

Ricketts was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct and transported to the Athens-Clarke County jail.

More restaurants offer late night dining options

By EMILY PATRICK The Red & Black

At the stroke of midnight, the lack of dining options downtown used to be enough to make any hungry reveler turn into a pumpkin. But recently, late-night dining has become a way to re-experience the Athens food scene.

From Thomas St. to Pulaski, from the casual to the upscale, kitchens are staying open until midnight and beyond.

Some restaurants are even offering new takes on their traditional menus specifically for the nocturnal crowd.

The chefs at the National, one of downtown’s most acclaimed establishments, created a second menu for their bar this summer.

Patrick Stubbers, sous chef, said the summer weather prompted the new menu.

“In the summer, people eat a little later, and we just wanted to make sure we had something available in the evening when it’s not so hot,” he said.

The bar menu is a personal, less expensive take on the National’s traditional fare.

It includes tapas and appetizers, and crowd-pleasers like chicken wings.

“It’s stuff that we don’t serve on the menu but that we think is kind of fun,” Stubbers said. “You get to taste a lot of things, and it’ usually a little bit lower of a price point.”

The new menu is served until midnight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and Stubbers hopes that it will continue to be available through the school year.

One block over, Farm 255 has found another way to offer a casual take on its more pricey dinner menu.

While the kitchen closes around 10, the restaurant continues to serve out of a retro-fitted metal street cart on the patio, the Farm Cart.

Right now, the Farm Cart is available until around 2 a.m. on nights when a special event occurs downtown such as AthFest, football games and large shows at the nearby 40-Watt. But the restaurant’s managers look forward to a time when the Farm Cart might be open late every weekend.

The Farm Cart’s menu items include a burger, tomato and cucumber salad, and a banh mi, all for less than $7.

The Farm Cart also opens for lunch at 11:30 during the week.

Throughout town, more late night food options are becoming available including the Farm Cart (top). Other venues, including the Grill are open 24 hours a day.

• Steak N’ Shake (coming soon) A newcomer to the Athens food scene, Grilled Teriyaki has been serving sushi and hibachi until 3 a.m. since they opened in January.

After midnight, the restaurant transitions from a traditional

dinner mood to a late-night atmosphere. The staff turns up the music and takes pictures of guests to post on their Facebook page, and the prices drop.

“We’re here even after the bars close,” said manager Diane Lea.

“It’s the lunch prices with the full menu. We have the late-night atmosphere with the music and everything.”

Downtown casual favorites, Barberitos and Five Star Day Cafe stay open after midnight

during the school year and serve Southwestern food and gourmet soul food, respectively.

Yummy Bites and its sister Thai restaurant, Cozy Yum-Yum, also have a casual late-night menu.

Cozy Yum-Yum does not have a set closing time, but on Friday and Saturday nights, its doors are often open until 1a.m. or later.

Yummy Bites stays open until 3 a.m.

Thursday through Saturday, but when the school year starts, they will extend their hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as well. Manager John Frye said that Yummy Bites’ menu inspired the latenight hours.

“We just figured that with selling hamburgers and wings and chicken tenders and sandwiches and what have you, that would fit in to the late-night food scene.”

Even with so many restaurants extending their hours, Frye is optimistic about late-night food sales.

“I think it gives more people the opportunity to get their food a little quicker and head on home,” he said. “I really don’t look at anybody as being competition. We’re not here to take business away from anybody.”

But Mike Bradshaw, owner of the 24-hours a day, seven days a week dining legend, The Grill, disagrees. He said the recent increase in late-night dining options is a passing trend.

“It is incredibly difficult to do what we do, and people try it and realize how hard it is and go away. So this is nothing new. It seems like maybe there’s more than usual right now, but it’s just part of doing business,” Bradshaw said.

The Grill has been serving late-night since 1991. Bradshaw said maintaining late night hours takes experience and good management.

“It requires a certain balance of keeping people in here and keeping people safe and not letting any shenanigans go down,” he said.

Unlike other late-night restaurateurs, Bradshaw is not discouraged by the encroaching shadow of a 24-hour Waffle House. The mega-chain has plans to open a store in the new mixed-use parking deck in Fall.

“Fuck that,” he said. “Who in their right mind is going to drive downtown to eat at Waffle House?”

MAN ON THE STREET: It’s a scorcher With record-setting high temperatures in June and a shortage of rain, University students taking summer classes were no strangers to coping with summer heat.

Heat indices throughout July ranged up to 105 due to the humidity. High temperatures flirted with the 100-degree-mark.

Weather reports advised viewers to stay in air conditioning, drink fluids and stay out of direct sunlight.

New library set to open at start of 2012 Chemistry professor taking job in Utah

Reseachers to have access to materials first

By SARAH GIARRATANA The Red & Black With 80 million pages of documents, 200,000 book volumes, 200,000 media library entries and a nearly-complete exterior, the University’s Special Collections Library has grown immensely throughout the summer.

A project decades in the making, the University has been constructing the 115,000 square foot building since 2010 and projects it to open in January.

“It’s official opening with regular hours and exhibits is January 2012, however we do intend to partially open the building for previously arranged access of our materials for researchers,” said Toby Graham, deputy University librarian and director of the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library.

“It will be a planned move of our materials during the fall and we will do everything that we can to assist researchers in getting the materials they need.”

The building, located between Hull Street and Florida Avenue, will house three of the University’s special collections libraries moved from the main library — the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Walter J. Brown Media Archives and Peabody Awards Collection and the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies.

Documents in each archive are being inventoried before moving to the new library, Graham said.

“All of these collections have ‘finding aids’ or inventories,” Graham said. “We build these electronically, so users can go to the web pages of the Hargrett or Russell library and find the materials that they want.”

If users wish to view the document in person, they can visit the library and the document will be brought to them in a reading room from the climate-controlled vault underground, University architects Daniel Sniff and director of the project Linda Henneman said.

“The entire collections of all three libraries will be housed in the building which makes this project unique from similar storage vaults that have been done at other schools,” Henneman said. “In this situation everything is under one roof — the material is there, access to them is there as well as public exhibition and education space for generating more access to the materials.”

Graham said the library will house many notable documents, including journals from early Georgia settlers, issues of the Cherokee Phoenix and the 12-foot-long constitution of the Confederate States of America.

He also said some of the most important contributions to the library may not be books at all.

“The Walter J. Brown Media Archive and Peabody Awards Collection is the third largest broadcast media archive in the country behind the Library of Congress and UCLA,”

By TUCKER GREENE The Red & Black

ANDREA BRISCOE | The Red & Black

The Special Collections Library on Hull Street will house the constitution of the Confederate States of America, among other documents.

Graham said. “It gets a copy of every submission that’s made for the Peabody awards and has been since the beginning.”

Sniff said he looks forward to the building opening for student use and that the $46-million building is running on schedule and on budget.

“It’s nice that, when a project like this could have gone wrong, it went right,” Sniff said. “It’s a tribute to the architects the contractor and so many people who worked on the project.”

NEARING THE END Since construction of the Special Collections Library began in 2010, Hull Street — which students use as somewhat of a shortcut between Baxter and Broad Streets — has been closed.

Soon, the new library will open, and free up Hull Street once again.

Chemistry professor Charles Atwood is leaving to join the faculty at the University of Utah, capping a 16-year career at the University.

Atwood specializes in nuclear chemistry and frequently taught freshmen general chemistry in his time at the University.

“I’ve really enjoyed my years in Athens at UGA,” Atwood said. “I was very fortunate.

The University gave me opportunities I wouldn’t have had anywhere else and I took advantage of those ATWOOD opportunities as best as I could.”

Atwood will be the Ronald and Eileen Ragsdale Professor in Chemical Education at the University of Utah and will teach mostly general chemistry there.

He began teaching at the University in 1982 as a temporary employee, then moved to teach at Mercer for 10 years. After his predecessor retired, the University needed a new general chemistry coordinator and Atwood, “thought it would be great to come back.”

Atwood said he will take with him fond memories of his time at the University, but is excited about the opportunities that lay ahead.

“This is an endowed chair in chemical education and those are pretty few and far between,” he said. “So it sounded like a really pretty good deal.”

Atwood said he and his wife have never lived out West before.

“We laughingly say the farthest north we’ve lived has been Athens, but now that will be supplanted

by Salt Lake City,” he said.

Atwood said the timing was just right for the move.

“We’re at one of those stages in our lives where we can try and do something different, and we’re doing that,” he said. “It’s just an opportunity that fell into our laps that we had to take.”

Autumn movies to fall for Vacation is almost over and that means so are the major blockbusters — at least until the holidays. So, will the late summer and early fall movies be able to fill the void? That is the decision of you, the paying customer. Here is a guide to help you know how to spend that hard earned cash.

— Gordon Szymanski

COWBOYS & ALIENS (July 29): SEE IT Star Wars and Star Trek, Marvel versus DC, Polly Pocket meets Barbie.

These are the crossovers the fans want, but instead we are given “Cowboys and Aliens.” At first glance it looks more like the title from an episode of Spike TV’s “Deadliest Warrior” than a major motion picture.

However, despite the incredibly random subject matter (based off a graphic novel, so go figure) “Cowboys and Aliens” might not be all that terrible. Helmed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”) and starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford as well as Olivia Wilde there is a degree of talent involved in the proceedings. Therefore “Cowboys and Aliens” could be a surprise hit and halfway decent movie.

THE RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (Aug. 5): HIT OR MISS This is the final chance for the “Planet of the Apes” franchise. The original was a masterpiece of science fiction, but all four sequels were absolute garbage and Tim Burton’s 2001 remake was an abomination of film (Burton is a highly overrated film maker). So, that brings us to “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” Directed by an unknown (Rupert Wyatt) and starring one of the worst Oscar hosts in history (James Franco) this movie has some things working against it. However the film actually looks like it might have a chance due to some nicely CGI rendered apes. Therefore it might be fair to say this film has a good chance at becoming the second best in the series, a left-handed complement to be sure.

ALLISON LOVE | The Red & Black

University students have a wide assortment of locations to study. The Law Library, as well as the main library are two of many locations.

Best locations for quiet study

OUR IDIOT BROTHER (Aug. 22): HIT OR MISS Starring Paul Rudd, this comedy may be better fare than some other recent outings of the genre (“Arthur” and “Bridesmaids” come to mind,) or it could fade from memory as quickly as it came.

The story of a mush-minded relative coming to visit his high-strung family could create a scenario for hilarious situational comedy. Or it could break down to preachy “Pleasantville”-ish dribble about why people should take things slowly and all that kind of nonsense.

MONEYBALL (Sept. 23): SEE IT

We’ve all been there, walking in utter apprehension on the third floor of the Miller Learning Center looking for an open study room. Passing each door with growing fear, each one occupied until there are none left — and you still have a big exam looming So where can you study when the MLC is filled with people and your apartment or dorm is packed with your roommate’s weird friends?

Have no fear, procrastinating academic. These are a few places of sanctuary where you should be able to find a table to sit.

— Gordon Szymanski

“Moneyball,” starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, deals with “the art of winning an unfair game.” Pitt, the manager of Oakland A’s, is trying to make his team competitive with little financing from the owners of the California team.

Generally, baseball has a better track record when it comes to movies (“Bull Durham” beats “The Replacements”) and “Moneyball” has a good chance of upholding the tradition. For anyone who has ever cheered against the New York “Bankees,” this is the movie for you.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS (Oct. 14): HIT OR MISS Porthos, Athos and Aramis have had their fair share of good and bad movies. Richard Lester’s classics from the ‘70s are still great, “The Man in the Iron Mask” was mindless fun, and that Disney movie with Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland was, how you say “le terrible.”

This film has some good casting for the subordinate roles — Christoph Waltz as Cardinal Richelieu, Orlando Bloom as the Duke of Buckingham and Milla Jonovich as Milady de Winter are all excellent.

However with Logan Lerman of “Percy Jackson” fame playing D’Artagnan I’m not going to hold my breath. Neither should you.

The Fourth Floor of the Journalism Building — Nestled in the middle of the labyrinth of stairwells and classrooms that is the Journalism building, lays the fourth floor study area.

An atrium of tables, chairs and sofas, the room is in good condition and most of the furniture appears to be new.

Being located in the middle of a building full of classrooms does mean its occupancy increases as more students go to lectures. However, after classes are over, the place becomes a ghost town and an ever increasing amount of tables are made available for laptops and textbooks.

Memorial Garden. Tucked away behind Joseph Brown Hall on North Campus, the Founders Garden is like a world removed from the rest of the University.

Complete with pebble pathways, lush green grass and a fish pond, this is a great place to study and relax upon mother earth.

Sadly, the garden is close by bus-filled Lumpkin Street, but the trees block out most of the sound making the Founders Garden a great green paradise for study.

The Library — One would think this would be an obvious choice, but it really isn’t. Most students prefer the hustle and bustle of the MLC over the vacant halls of the library.

With a seemingly endless stairway, the library offers literally floor after floor of quiet study areas. To some, the ghostly aisles may be too quiet, but the library is the place for absolute silent studying on campus.

The Basement of Snelling Dining Commons — Ever wonder where those stairs off to the right lead to?

Now you know.

Make no mistake — the comfiest furniture on campus is in this basement, and no matter how crowded the small room may appear, there always seems to be one more La-Z-Boy chair for you.

Now a warning should also come with this information — you may have the best intentions to study for that final, but comfy chairs will destroy even the best resolutions with overwhelming sleepiness.

You’ve been warned.

The Law Library — Now this one is tricky. You need to be law student to get in or have an incoming or outgoing law student hold the door open for you.

However, once you’re in you have found the holy grail of study locations.

Studying in the law library is better than studying anywhere else on campus, even a quiet room in the MLC. Consisting of one big room with a smaller second story and a huge window, this is the stuff dreams are made of.

Relaxing décor, nice tables with those nifty table long lawyer lights — it’s almost like guaranteeing yourself an “A.” Everyone should make an effort to study here at least once in their collegiate career.

Athens producers plentiful

Recording for students easy

By JASON FLYNN The Red & Black

Athens musicians have a number of options for recording ranging from professional studios to the University’s digital labs.

Suny Lyons of Popheart Productions said Athens studios have differences.

“I actually feel like each recording studio in Athens tends to fill certain niches, and that each one sort of compliments the others with regard to what role it fills in producing music,” Lyons said.

Chase Park, and John Keane Studios have the most options.

“We give the artist the opportunity to record in analog or digital. [We] have decades of experience and put out hundreds of records a year,” David Barbe, head of the University Music Business Program and Chase Productions said. “Even so, a huge part of what we

bikeathens.com

do [involves] local bands.”

Many professional studios, such as Popheart Productions and Pigpen Studios, are less focused on the wide array of equipment and space.

“It’s been my experience that many artists don’t actually need or even want a studio filled with every gizmo under the sun, but rather are just looking for an affordable, quality, pro-environment where they can get the job done,” Lyons said.

Artists on a tight budget, or starting their first project, may not be interested in traditional Athens studios.

“I have a professional set up with a live room, control room, separate isolation booth and vocal booth,” said Danny

GETTING THE BANDS BACK TOGETHER Finally, the Georgia Theatre has come back to Athens. This is leaving many music fans wondering which bands deserve their hard earned money. Fear not — The Red & Black has picked out available shows that will give you the most for your music dollar .

AQUARIUM RESCUE UNIT — August 8 ($23) Though Aquarium Rescue Unit may not have the name recognition of Phish or Widespread Panic, they are every bit as talented, and coming with its original lineup. However, this may not be enough to bring non-fans to buy these tickets — though it certainly should.

J. Roddy WaLsTon and the Business and Reptar — August 9 ($10) J. Roddy Walson and the Business may be one of the best new bands coming through Athens. Its blend of gospel, blues and punk are sure to send audiences searching for more. With the recently signed Reptar opening, this is not a show you want to miss.

BÉla Fleck and the Flecktones — August 10 ($30) Jazz pioneers Béla Fleck and The Flecktones are coming with its original lineup.

While the price may seem steep you may never have this opportunity again. Do not leave yourself wondering what could have been.

BIG BOI — August 11 (SOLD OUT) One half of Atlanta hip hop group Outkast, and phenomenal rapper and producer, Big Boi — aka Sir Lucious Left Foot — is set to put on an absolutely amazing show with his signature sound rooted in driving bass, funk rhythms and thoughtful yet catchy rhymes.

DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS — August 12 & 13 (SOLD OUT) The growling southern rockers are retuning to the Classic City, with haunting and rocking songs about the dark recesses of the South. If you did not manage to get tickets — they sold out fast — be on the lookout for the band to come back later in the year.

GILLIAN WELCH — August 14 ($25) With instrumentation and harmonies that echo early bluegrass and Americana, and featuring dark folk lyrics Gillian Welch has developed a sound like no other.

Some may be unwilling to hand over the cost of admission, but they will miss out on great show.

COLT FORD AND FRIENDS — August 16 ($50/$150 VIP) Colt Ford and other artists will be appearing to benefit Athens-Clarke County officers Elmer “Buddy” Christian and Tony Howard. Other artists planning to show include Jason Aldean, Edwin McCain and Rhett Akins. While expensive, the money will go to a good cause.

Courtesy Gillian Welch

New York native Gillian Welch will be one of many artists performing the Georgia Theatre within the first month of the establishment’s reopening.

COREY SMITH — August 19 ($21) Following his June release of “The Broken Record,” the Jackson County native makes his return to the Theatre. While the $21 admission price may be a little high for some, there are plenty of people who would pay much more for this country show. Tickets will sell out fast.

THE WHIGS — August 20 ($15)

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME — August 17 ($15) Formed in Athens, Stockholm Syndrome is comprised of Widespread Panic’s Dave Schools and Jackmormons front-man Jerry Joseph. This set is sure to bring in the Panic fans and delivers a lot of bang for your buck. So if that’s your scene, buy fast.

Athens-based band the Whigs are a Classic City staple. The group released “In The Dark,” in 2009 and are in the process of writing material for an upcoming band. With Jonny Corndawg and Those Darlins opening for the band, $15 will be considered a bargain for the strong lineup.

Escape the downtown bar scene; enjoy the outdoors

By HOLLY YOUNG The Red & Black So you’re tired of the bar scene. Or maybe you aren’t 21. Either way, there’s plenty to do around town that doesn’t involve getting drunk.

Athens is a great place for physical activities such as jogging, biking and hiking.

Instead of breathing in nasty emissions while running along Milledge, try one of the many forested paths in town for better scenery and more challenging terrain.

Memorial Park has miles of forest paths that are perfect for hiking or jogging.

While you’re there, also check out the Bear Hollow Wildlife Trail, a small zoo with more than 100 freeliving animals including

bears, bobcats, owls, river otters and more.

The park also has a playground, grills, a lake and dog park, all open daily during daylight hours and free to the public.

More great trails that span over four miles can be found at the back of the University’s Intramural Fields.

Biking is also allowed on most of the trails.

Other amenities include lit tennis courts, sport fields, batting cages and Lake Herrick.

The local State Botanical Garden, encompassing more than 300 acres, also has numerous jogging trails.

Its paths, weaving around the Middle Oconee River, beautiful gardens, conservatory and fields are definitely worth visiting.

Another outdoor activi-

FILE | The Red & Black

The Georgia Botanical Gardens provide not only beautiful scenery, but numerous walking trails. ty to try is kayaking or canoeing along the Broad River.

The Broad River Outpost (BRO) offers kayak, canoe and bicycle rentals, guided eco-tours and moonlight floats yearround.

If you’re looking for an activity that’s less physical, The Rail is a great hangout.

The Rail has numerous pool tables, several dart boards, poker tables, a full bar and grill. It hosts frequent billiard, dart and poker tournaments, along with free trivia on Tuesdays.

Athens also has two great unconventional theatre choices: Ciné, a downtown bar, cafe and cinema that features hand-picked movies, and Georgia Square 5, a value cinema that costs just $2 per movie.

More nightlife activity ideas can be found at visitathensga.com.

For other outdoor activity ideas, visit the University’s Georgia Outdoor Recreation Program (GORP) website at recsports.uga.edu/out_ gorp.php.

Picture Perfect For artistic residents of Athens who don’t feel up to either the outdoors or the bar scene, but would still like some ideas to fill spare time, Athens offers a plethora of solutions.

Art cafes and bistros such as Sip ‘n’ Strokes and Artinis allow customers to express their creative sides while enjoying food and beverage.

Art galleries such as the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art (ATHICA) and the Georgia Museum of Art host several local and national art galleries available for public viewing. Some even offer public drawing hours for patrons who wish to sketch the art.

Daily drinks for dry wallets Liquid entertainment in Athens can be expensive. Taking advantage the great drink specials around town, however, can help you keep these costs down.

1000 Faces House Blend pour-over: If you aren’t familiar with pour-over coffee, it’s a neat trend in coffee brewing that’s done right in front of you.

First, your chosen beans are weighed out.

In my case, it was the Trappeze Pub coffee shop House Blend.

Next, your beans are ground and placed in a coffee filter held above a cup by a ceramic funnel.

Hot water is then slowly poured over the grounds and fresh coffee drips into the cup.

A couple of minutes later and a sweet French girl then presents you with your robust, flavorful hot cup of coffee.

Okay, I can’t guarantee the French girl part, but I can guarantee the robust and delicious part.

And at less than $3 after tax, it’s a drink — and experience — that’s worth the price.

Espresso Royale Peaches and Ginger tea: This loose-leaf tea from Espresso Royale is a tasty and fruity blend that’s perfectly sweet with an added touch of honey.

Knowing that it’s organic and locally sold makes it even better.

Since it contains real ginger, it’s also got an added bonus of being able to ease an upset stomach.

Being a black tea, it contains twice as much caffeine than its white and green cousins—about the same as a can of soda.

Any size is just $2, so it won’t break the bank either.

8B | Monday, August 8, 2011 | Athenscape | The Red & Black

Fall guys (and gals)

A sporting outlook for months ahead SOCCER Head coach: Steve Holeman (second year) A glance back 2010 record: 11-6-4, 5-3-3 SEC Key win: In the midst of a nine-game winning streak from September to October, Georgia went on the road to Columbia, S.C., and took one from rival and the then-No. 14 Gamecocks in a 1-0 victory.

Key loss: In early September at the Stanford Nike Invitational, the Bulldogs went up a goal against thenNo. 2 Stanford, but were unable to close out the Cardinal, eventually losing 2-1 in overtime.

Biggest change: After former head coach Patrick Baker resigned in spring 2010 and the hiring of Steve Holeman soon after, the Bulldogs changed from a 4-4-2 formation (four defenders, four midfielders and two forwards) to a 4-3-3 formation (four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards), which led to 37 goals on the season.

Key senior losses: Alex Hooker and Marah Falle Hooker, a forward, and Falle, a midfielder, registered a combined four goals and nine points in their last season

for Georgia. Throughout her Georgia career, Falle scored 13 goals and made 44 starts. Hooker, a Littleton, Colo., native, scored nine goals and made 29 starts in her Bulldogs career.

A look forward Key returnees: senior Jamie Pollock and sophomores Alexa Newfield and Meghan Gibbons. Pollock is one of four returning seniors and has made 58 starts throughout the last three seasons. The Powder Springs native has been a consistent midfielder for the Bulldogs, tallying 10 goals and four assists in her time as a Bulldog.

With a freshmen-heavy roster last season, the Bulldogs have 12 sophomores dotting the 2011 roster. Newfield and Gibbons led Georgia in scoring with eight goals apiece. The two combined for five assists and 37 points.

Key stat: Last season, Georgia went 1-3-1 against ranked opponents. In those matches, two went into overtime and the Bulldogs were outscored 5-8.

Key fact: Though the Bulldogs return 89 percent of their scoring this season, they have been unable to advance past the second round of the NCAA Tournament since the 1998 season and missed the tournament last season after qualifying three straight years.

VOLLEYBALL Head coach: Lizzy Stemke A glance back 2010 record: 15-17, 6-14 SEC Key win: In September, the Bulldogs upset thenNo. 8 Tennessee at home, making it the program’s first win over a ranked opponent in just more than two years.

Key loss: Shortly after the upset over Tennessee, the Bulldogs dropped a crucial five-set match to Kentucky, one of Georgia’s nine five-set matches of the season.

Biggest change: Joel McCartney, who had been head coach for the Bulldogs since 2007 and went 62-55 in that span, was fired toward the end of October. In late December, STEMKE athletic director Greg McGarity hired Lizzy Stemke, former assistant coach at Nebraska, to take the reins of the program.

Key senior loss: Valentina Gonzalez. Gonzalez was named preseason All-SEC and ended up on the AllSEC Second Team. The senior finished her last season with 334 kills (which led the team), 128 blocks and 32 serve aces.

Women Head Coach: Jeff Pigg Top Returners Senior Kristie Krueger: Became just the third Lady Bulldog in school history to earn All-America honors after taking 28th (20:40.6) to be the first SEC runner across the finish line at the NCAA Championships; Won the SEC Championships with a time of 20:41.25, becoming just the second Georgia runner in history to win a conference cross country title; Earned a spot on the All-SEC First Team and was named the SEC Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Year; Won Georgia’s first individual NCAA regional title after clocking a 19:52.93 at the NCAA South Regionals; Named the NCAA South Region Female Athlete of the Year; Won the 5K Georgia Cross Country Invitational

Cross country coach Jeff Pigg has plenty Senior Morgan VanGorder: top runners returning Scored for the Lady Bulldogs after taking 144th for both teams. out of 274 competitors at the NCAA Pre-Nationals with a 6k time of 22:14.2; Was Georgia’s sixth finisher at the Greater Louisville Classic after taking 68th (18:15.90); Finished the UGA-GT Dual Meet with an eighth-place finish (18:34.08); Scored and took ninth at the 5K Georgia Cross Country Invitational after crossing the finish line in 18:25.25.

Junior Ashley Shiver: Earned All-Region honors after taking 22nd (20:46.55) at the NCAA South Regionals as she was the second Georgia runner across the line; Finished second for the Lady Bulldogs and 27th overall (21:50.80) at her the SEC Championships; Was the Lady Bulldogs’ No. 2 finisher at the NCAA PreNationals with a 109thplace finish (21:54.3); Finished eighth at the 5K Georgia Cross Country Invitational after registering a time of 18:23.42 Junior Leslie Boozer: Finished 36th at the SEC Championships to score after finishing in 22:06.16; Took 43rd and scored for the Lady Bulldogs in her first trip to the NCAA South Regionals with a time of 21:26.71; Was 115th out of 274 competitors at the NCAA Pre-Nationals after clocking a 21:57.8; Took 14th (18:46.04) at the 5K Georgia Cross Country Invitational; Finished seventh (18:27.23) at the UGA-GT Dual Meet

A look forward Key returnees: senior Kathleen Gates, junior Ann Dylla and sophomore Kathleen Luft Gates tallied 1,268 assists last season, becoming the sixth player in program history to reach 3,000 assists, and was award SEC offensive player of the week in late September.

The Wilmington, N.C., native had 228 digs on the season, good for second on the team, and finished the season with 20 serve aces.

Dylla was second on the team in kills and blocks with 309 and 126, respectively. Dylla has also spent the summer in China working with the BIP/USA Development Team. Luft finished her freshman season with 271 kills, 173 digs and 48 blocks.

Sophomore Stella Christoforou: Finished 67th (23:02.56) at the SEC Championships during her first conference meet; Led the Lady Bulldogs for the first time in her career after taking fourth (18:34) out of 111 competitors at the Furman Invitational; Took 16th at the 5K Georgia Cross Country Invitational with a time of 18:53.01

Key stat: Throughout the last five seasons, the Bulldogs have gone 20-44 on the road and have not tallied a winning road record since 2003.

Outlook The only thing Kristie Krueger hasn’t won in her time at UGA is an NCAA title, but she’s got another season to check that off her list. The returning AllAmerican and SEC and NCAA South Region cross country of 2010, Krueger won the SECs and regionals last year and looks to continue her dominance for her senior season. In five meets leading up to the post-season she finished in the top 10 in all of them and won three. So the Lady Bulldogs have that going for them.

Key fact: As she takes over a middle-of-the-road program, Stemke inherits a strong group of players.

With some of the Bulldogs logging hours on beach courts this summer, Stemke’s youth and energy as well as team experience could prove to be vital.

CROSS COUNTRY

Stemke on this year’s senior class: “We have a really experienced and bigdream type of players in our senior class and we’re gonna look to them a lot as far as looking for not only just kinda lead by example, but also they’re a hungry group to get to the tournament and to compete at the highest level in the SEC and the highest level across the country.

And so we’re gonna be riding a lot of their desires and a lot of their work ethic to start off here.

Pretty much the whole senior class is kinda driv-

Sophomore Sydney Marshall: Returned from an injury to take 58th (22:48.03) at her the SEC Championships; Finished second for the Lady Bulldogs and 37th overall out of 302 competitors at the Greater Louisville Classic with a time of 17:47.50

Overall the Lady Bulldogs took fourth in the SEC in 2010 but look to move up with a solid returning crew joining Krueger. Despite the graduation of Taylor Adams and Kylie Foley, Georgia looks to juniors Ashley Shiver (27th place at SEC, 22nd at NCAA South Regionals to earn All-Region honors) and Leslie Boozer (36th at SEC), as well as sophomore Stella Christoforou, Sarah Hope and Sydney Marshall to lead the charge.

Men Head Coach: Jeff Pigg Top returners: Senior Brett Richardson: Finished second for the Bulldogs at the SEC Championships after registering a 25:15.50 for 28th; Was second for Georgia and took 30th (31:22.29) at the 10k NCAA South Regionals; Won the 8K Georgia Cross Country Invitational last season with a time of 24:33.18; Took second (25:22.84) at the UGA-Georgia Tech Dual Meet; Finished second for Georgia and 72nd overall at the Greater Louisville Classic with a time of 24:52.44.

Junior Brian Detweiler: Took 41st at the SEC Championships with a time of 25:49.55; Took fifth overall at the 8K Georgia Cross Country Invitational after crossing the finish line in 24:52.21.

Sophomore Brandon Lord: Scored for the Bulldogs and was named to the AllSEC Freshmen Team at his first SEC Championships after taking 38th (25:34.46); Finished 167th overall at the NCAA Pre-Nationals to score with a time of 25:41.1; Finished 10th (25:59.77) at the UGA-GT Dual Meet; Was Bulldogs’ top finisher at the Greater Louisville Classic after finishing 44th with a time of 24:38.65 Sophomore Fraser Reade: In his first trip to the NCAA South Regionals, he scored for the Bulldogs after taking 38th (31:39.52); Finished 43rd at the SEC Championships after clocking a 25:54.7; Took 12th at the seasonopening 8K Georgia Cross Country Invitational after crossing the finish line in 25:09.30.

Sophomore Charlie Sparks: Scored and earned All-SEC Freshmen honors at the SEC Championships after finishing 39th (25:38.86); Finished 37th overall (31:36.26) at the 10k NCAA South Regionals; Finished ninth overall and scored for the Bulldogs in his first collegiate meet at the 8K Georgia Cross Country Invitational with a mark of 24:56.23; Was a scorer at the UGA-GT Dual Meet after finishing fifth (25:41.46); Took 82nd (24:58.50) to score for the Bulldogs at the Greater Louisville Classic.

Outlook The Bulldogs lost big man Caleb Vogt (all 6-foot-9 of him) to graduation, but return a core of strong runners. Senior Brett Richardson leads the way, which took sixth place in the SEC Championships last season, recording one win last season as well as a top 30 place in the SEC Championships. Brandon Lord and Charlie Sparks earned spots on the AllSEC Freshmen Team (as did Richardson the year before), and helped the Bulldogs take fifth at the NCAA Cross Country South Regionals last season. With the return of Bill Matthews, who earned AllSEC Freshman honors in 2009 but redshirted the 2010 season for medical reasons, as well as Brian Detwieler, Fraser Reade and senior J.P. Hackney, the Bulldogs have a strong core to move to the top of the SEC.

WATCH LIST

Georgia boasts a bevy of top-rated athletes in every sport, and in the fall football is joined by soccer, volleyball and cross country.

Here’s a look at the top 10 athletes to watch in the months ahead:

Cross Country Kristie Krueger Perhaps the most-celebrated returning athlete in any Bulldog fall sport, Krueger (right)is back for her senior season aiming to be the best cross country runner in the nation. She became just the third Lady Bulldog in school history to earn All-America honors last year, winning the SEC Championships (where she was named SEC women’s cross country athlete of the year) and the NCAA South Regionals (where she was named Female Athlete of the Year) in the process. Krueger has amazed her teammates and coaches with her talent.

“It’s been fun to see her get better and better,” Bulldog distance coach Jeff Pigg said. “When a runner who is primarily a miler steps up like this in cross country, you know it’s a special person that you are working with.” Keep an eye on Kristie, she’s one of the best in the country at what she does.

Brett Richardson With each season Brett Richardson (above) has moved up the running ranks with the cross country team, and now the team captain is aiming to make the most of his senior season.

The Red & Black | Athenscape | Monday, August 8, 2011 | 11B

distance coach Jeff Pigg, Richardson transferred to UGA from Georgia State two years ago and has made a winning mark with Georgia. He won his first collegiate meet at after clocking a 24:33.18 at the 8K Georgia Cross Country Invitational to open the last season, and followed that up as the Bulldogs’ top finisher after taking second (25:22.84) at the UGA-GT Dual Meet. At the SEC Championships he placed second for the Bulldogs after registering a 25:15.50 for 28th and was the second Georgia runner across the finish line after taking 30th (31:22.29) at the 10k NCAA South Regionals. “He’s a tough kid and he works hard,” Pigg said, “he expects to be good.”

Football Orson Charles Tight end

Georgia football is known for churning out some of the best tight ends in the country, and Orson Charles (at right) looks to continue that trend. The junior is the second-leading returning receiver for the Bulldogs after starting 12 of 13 games last season, hauling in 26 catches for 422 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

He was named the nation’s fifth-best tight end by Lindy’s this preseason, and was placed on the John Mackey Award Preseason Watch List, an honor given annually to the best collegiate tight end.

Charles was named an All-SEC Second Team performer in 2010, with his top game coming against Florida with a career-high six catches for a 108 yards and a touchdown. With A.J. Green and Kris Durham gone to the NFL, Charles looks to be a go-to guy for Aaron Murray.

Isaiah Crowell Tailback

This one is obvious, especially after the off-season where the Bulldogs saw their top returning rushers either transfer (Washaun Ealey to Jacksonville (Ala.) State, or not make the grade (Caleb King). That leaves five-star recruit Isaiah Crowell holding the ball with the promise the Bulldog nation in his hands. Yes the Bulldogs have other runners – junior Carlton Thomas (suspended for the first game), sophomore walkon Brandon Harton and redshirt freshman Ken “Boo” Malcome – but Crowell is the crown jewel of the Georgia dream team and is expected to produce right away. Can he?

In high school he was as explosive as chemical elements, known for hitting the hole and reaching open creases faster than it says to write “open creases.” He cuts well, bounces off tacklers, can catch the ball out of the backfield and has excellent footwork. If he can learn Georgia’s blocking techniques, he has the capacity to be as good as everyone says he is. Everyone will certainly be watching.

John Jenkins Nose guard

What makes the defensive 3-4 scheme of Bulldog coach Todd Grantham succeed comes down to the man in the middle, and with the addition of nose guard John Jenkins, the Bulldogs may have found the key piece of the puzzle. At 6-foot-4, 340pounds, Jenkins starred for two seasons at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and was ranked the No. 6 junior college player in America, according to Rivals.com. Jenkins is expected to have the effect Nick Fairley and Tarrance Cody had at Auburn and Alabama, respectively, and along with fellow recruit Ray Drew, could make the Georgia front line one of the toughest in the SEC.

Tavarres King Wide receiver

The loss of A.J. Green (taken fourth overall in April’s NFL Draft) and Kris Durham (taken in the fourth round of the Draft) has made Tavarres King (above) the receiver to watch for both the fans and Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray. King appeared in 12 games last season, starting five of them, catching 27 passes for 504 yards and three touchdowns and is only 53 yards shy of recording 1,000 yards receiving in his career at Georgia. He was a key player against the Gators last season, accumulating 104 receiving yards including a 63-yard touchdown reception. King was named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list and is a preseason All-SEC Second Team pick, and for the Bulldogs to succeed offensively he’ll have to reach the potential others see in him. “It all comes down to accountability really,” King has said about his receiving role. “Everybody’s accountable and everyone does their job.”

Soccer Ashley Baker Soccer, goalkeeper

A soccer team is sometimes only as good as its goalie, and in junior Ashley Baker, Georgia has one of the best in the

conference, if not the country. Baker, a second-team All-SEC selection last season, started all 21 games, playing all 2,018 minutes while allowing just 19 goals all season and coming away with nine shutouts. Her save percentage ranked second in the SEC, and at one point last season she posted four shutouts totaling 561 minutes of scoreless soccer, good for the longest such streak in SEC play in Georgia history. A native of Grantham, England, Baker played for England in the U20 women’s World Cup in 2008 and 2010 and joins teammate Alexa Newfield this summer with Atlanta Silverbacks of the W League, where she has started eight games at goal.

Alexa Newfield Soccer, midfielder Electric and persistent, Alexa Newfield turned in one of the finest freshmen performances in Georgia soccer history last season. Playing in every game last season, Newfield (above middle) tied for team lead with eight goals, added four assists and broke the school record for shots in a single season with 87. For her efforts she was named firstteam All-SEC and All-Freshman teams, second team All-South Region and the Soccer America All-Freshman second team. Newfield showed a flair for the dramatic, scoring three-game winners last season against a trio of SEC opponents.

This summer, as she’s done for the past three summers, Newfield played for the Atlanta Silverbacks of the W League, where she’s accumulated key goals for the first-place Silverbacks.

VOLLEYBALL Ann Dylla Volleyball, middle blocker Georgia has an Iron Woman in its midst, and it is Ann Dylla. The senior middle blocker has started every match for the Bulldogs since arriving in Athens, and now ranks ninth in career total blocks per set with 1.02. Last season she started 32 matches playing in all 123 sets, recording 309 kills (2.51 per set) and 126 blocks (1.02 per set), following a sophomore season where she started 31 matches and played in all 114 sets recording 211 kills on a .242 hitting percentage and 126 blocks. As accomplished in the classroom as she is on the court (she’s named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, and Athletic Director’s Honor Roll multiple times), she spent part of her summer in China competing as a member of the Bring It Promotions/USA Development Team at the China-USA Challenge Invitational Tournament in Beijing and Weifang/Shandong.

Kathleen Gates Volleyball, setter

For two seasons Kathleen Gates has captained the volleyball team, and she returns for her senior season aiming to take the Bulldogs to the elusive NCAA Tournament. Gates can do it all on the court – she started 32 matches playing in all 123 sets recording 1,268 assists (10.3

per set), 131 kills, 20 aces, 228 digs and 75 blocks. Gates’ (at right) 10 doubledoubles was best on the team and she led or tied for the team lead in assists in all 32 matches and in aces five times. Off the court she’s just as talented, twice being named to the SEC Community Service Team as well as the ESPN Academic All-District III Third Team and SEC Academic Honor Roll.

“We’re honored you’ve chosen Colorado State, and our entire faculty and staff are here to help you gain the most from your CSU experience.”

A message from President Tony Frank Dear Students: Welcome to Colorado State University, and congratulations on becoming a Ram! Remember this moment — this may turn out to be one of the shortest messages you get from me this year. I try to stay in touch with the CSU student body on a regular basis via e-mail, and let’s just say that I don’t get a lot of compliments for brevity. But my point today is a simple one: We’re glad you’re here and we’re committed to your success at CSU. Having been through college orientations with my own daughters in recent years, I know how overwhelming they can be.

There’s a lot of information to process and you may leave with some of your questions still unanswered. Remember, this is just the beginning of an ongoing process of learning about your university and discovering your place here at Colorado State.

The time you spend in college will be a period of real transformation in your life, and all of the experiences you undertake — starting now — will prepare you for that time a few years down the road when you graduate with the confidence to go out, start a career and make a difference in our world.

So I encourage you to make the most of the opportunities you’ll have this week, and over the coming months, to plan out your first year. Think about how you can get involved and connected as a member of our campus community. Roam a little, stop into different offices and ask questions. If you want to see how some of your peers have made their mark at CSU, visit www. mycsu.colostate.edu. You might be surprised at what CSU students have achieved while pursuing their interests and goals.

As you’ll hear many times over the next few days, your educa-

tion and success are our highest priorities. We’re honored you’ve chosen Colorado State, and our entire faculty and staff are here to help you gain the most from your CSU experience. If you need our help or advice, just ask.

In the meantime, enjoy your

orientation. I look forward to meeting you in the fall at Ram Welcome!

Sincerely,

-tony (Tony Frank) President

The ultimate CSU student welcome A four-day celebration at Ram Welcome

By Laura Esposito College Avenue Starting at 4 p.m. sharp on August 18, new students and their families are in for the biggest campus-wide welcome — Ram style.

Ram Welcome was created for first-year students, transfer students and families alike to show everyone exactly what Colorado State University is all about.

Designed to create a successful transition into the CSU community, students will have opportunities to learn about programs that CSU has to offer, ways to connect with the campus community and fellow peers and ser-

vices to help support him or her throughout their college career.

Each day offers new and exciting endeavors, beginning with a carnival on Thursday night. Students can enjoy carnival games, rides and plenty of free food. Remember to wear your CSU Forever Green T-shirt to sport your school spirit.

On Friday, students can take part in indoor events at Ramapalooza in the Lory Student Center.

Performance artists, informational booths and even more free food and goodies await as students explore every nook of the student center.

Grab a pair of hiking shoes come Saturday and join in the

annual CSU tradition of hiking to the historic “A” at Horsetooth Reservoir. Before CAM the Ram, CSU’s mascot ranged from a black bear to an English bulldog, but our agricultural roots will forever be remembered through the famous white “A” for Aggies.

Students can make their way back down from the hike to relax and enjoy a movie at an outdoor location that has yet to be determined. Later in the evening, jump on a shuttle bus to snag amazing deals during Ram Night at Super Target. Open just for students, Target gives out amazing discounts and goodies late into the night. So if you find yourself in need of a last minute microwave or don’t have enough storage for all of your stuff, don’t miss out on

this one.

To wrap up the weekend, students can participate in class quest –– an adventure around campus for students to locate all of their classrooms. No one wants to carry around a map the first day of class, right?

The journey through CSU is about more than just earning a degree. It’s about building lifelong friendships, bridging connections and discovering new professional opportunities that will carry students throughout their college career and beyond.

Ram Welcome is only the beginning.

Student Legal Services advice What should I know as I hit campus for the first time?

By Kathleen Harward Director of Student Legal Services Your student fees pay for three experienced campus lawyers in the Lory Student Center to help you with nearly any legal issue.

You may need us less, however, if you learn these lessons from students who’ve gone before you: Don’t sign a tanning contract. They are over-priced, lock you in too long and you can’t cancel them.

Same goes for magazines: when you receive that phone solicitation, say NO. The “free” shopping spree is never worth the years of bills.

When the police are knocking on your door, think twice before opening. Consider the United States Supreme Court’s recent words: When law enforcement officers who are not armed with a search warrant knock on a door, the occupant has no obligation to open the door or to speak.

When an occupant chooses to open the door and speak with the officers, the occupant need not allow the officers to enter the premises and may refuse to answer any questions at any time.

Kentucky v. King, May 16, 2011.

Don’t drive after consuming any amount of alcohol. It is illegal for drivers under the age of 21 to drive with a blood alcohol content of .02 or above. You should consider that a zero tolerance level. Choose a safe way home.

than you is not a DD. Police and prosecutors are NOT lenient in this town. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’ll be excused by law enforcement for minor offenses.

A criminal record, even for petty crimes, stays with you and harms your chances in the workplace. Very few criminal convictions can be sealed or wiped from your record.

Beware of scams! If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Don’t fall for the person who engages your services (as a secret shopper, a language tutor, a renter, you name it), and then “mistakenly” sends you a check that is too big, and finally asks you to deposit it and wire back part of the money. The check is fraudulent! Never draw on funds you’ve deposited until you’ve gotten absolute proof from the bank that the funds were good and are soundly sitting in your account.

If you don’t have the money, don’t buy it! It’s hard enough to deal with student loans; you don’t need to graduate with credit card debt, too.

Looking ahead to a summer job? Watch out for the franchisors that show up on campus in the fall (e.g. College Pro Painters). Don’t sign any franchise agreement until you’ve met with your campus lawyers. You probably won’t sign when you realize the thousands you’ll pay to buy out of the agreement when the “golden” opportunity interferes with school or isn’t as lucrative as promised.

Places to eat during Orientation:

Ram’s Horn at Academic Village: If oriental is more your flavor, make your way up the stairs from the Sports Grill into Ram’s Horn to enjoy their Mongolian grill. You can have any type of noodle paired with your choice of veggies, sauces and meats or tofu. Ram’s Horn also offers a “Tex-Mex” bar with burritos and taco salads, as well as a salad bar, pastas, steaks and desserts. With such a variety, this is just the place to go if you can’t make up your mind on what you want to eat.

Corbett Marketplace: Comfort food and healthy living blend together at Corbett’s dining hall.

It has several stations to satisfy taste buds that also includes a “Tex-Mex” bar, a salad and fruit bar and a comfort food station with fried foods and fresh paninis. Corbett also includes the nonallergen food station as well as a vast dessert bar.

Both are open breakfast, lunch and dinner!

7 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.

Braiden also offers a variety of dinner entrees, hamburgers at the grill, desserts and a mashed potato bowl bar.

Allison: Need to eat in a hurry?

Allison Hall’s café has continental breakfast for those on the go, as well as smoothies, bagels and pastries available for your early morning rush. For lunch the café turns into Spoons Soups and Salads with soups-of-the-day, your choice of salad and a large piece of focaccia bread. Allison is not open for dinner.

Sports Grill at Academic Village: With burgers, chicken sandwiches, pizza and fries, snag a seat and watch the game on one of several big screen televisions that line the room. The sports scene is set with booths, tables and antique sports equipment, giving the grill an authentic at-

mosphere.

Parmelee: If Corbett’s offerings don’t satisfy your needs, Parmelee Hall is just a quick trip away. Breakfast is served on weekdays with sausage, bacon, omelets and fried eggs available upon request. For lunch and dinner the pizzeria and grill are open, offering pizza, pasta, burgers, and onion rings or fries.

Durrell: Looking for a surprise?

Durrell hosts an action grill, where there is something different every night. Durrell also has a lush dessert bar, hosting varieties of cakes and desserts like Bananas Foster on special occasions.

burgers, pizza and milkshakes.

For one meal swipe you are able to get one main course, a slice of pizza, burger or milkshake, with three sides like French fries, gushers or pop tarts. With RamCash, you are also able to buy fresh sushi, drinks and Love’s burritos.

Ram’s Horn Express: Also open late, Ram’s Horn Express has much more than just food.

While freshly made smoothies and espresso drinks are available, there are other shopping ventures for your needs. From T-shirts and water bottles to condoms and cough syrup, Ram’s Horn Express is as convenient as you can get without making your way to the Lory Student Center.

Finding free times in Fort Collins Summertime events that won’t pinch your pennies

By Laura Esposito College Avenue There’s a saying that there’s no such thing as a free lunch — unless you live in Fort Collins that is.

Summertime means gorgeous Colorado weather. And with good weather comes a ton of outdoor events that won’t cost a thing. From free music, to food, to theatrical performances, FoCo has it all.

Old Town Square, in the heart of Old Town, is the place to be May through August. With live music, shopping, events and free performance artists, there is something for everyone.

Tuesday afternoons will be music to your ears with the Noontime Notes Concert Series in the

Student Orientation Guide

Oak Street Plaza (Oak Street and College Avenue). Listeners can enjoy Jazz, Blues, Latin, Folk and other artists beginning the first Tuesday in June until the second week of August from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Ben and Jerry’s FAC Concert series will continue to appease your inner music lover every Friday night from 7 to 9 p.m. in Old Town Square. This summer’s line up of live performances already includes blues-rock, swing, classic party songs and good old rock n’ roll.

For even more events in Old Town, Streetmosphere, a program sponsored by Beet Street, promises a, “surprise around every corner.” After May 13, visitors can expect up to five different artistic experiences per day

from painters, to dancers, to magicians. Each day brings a new surprise, so keep an eye out for Streetmosphere signs.

This year is also the exciting launch of Global Village Museum World Rhythms in Old Town Square on July 30. With free food, music and an array of cultural experiences, this event will take you around the globe without ever leaving Fort Collins.

Just down the road from Old Town you can step into the wild side of Fort Collins at the Swetsville Zoo, located at 4801 E. Harmony Road. Don’t let the name fool you; this “zoo” is made up of sculpture animals, uniquely crafted out of scrap metals.

There are more than 160 “creatures” that are open for viewing

on free self guided tours. So grab a camera and say, “cheese” next to your favorite sculpted creation.

If you’re looking for a little bit of everything, including art, music, food, dance and more, then Bohemian Nights at New West Fest is the ultimate free destination.

This year from August 12 to 14, New West Fest is Fort Collins’ “largest community festival”.

There are nine musical stages, two beer gardens, a children’s festival and more. Even though you usually have to fork over money for food, many places will give out enough free samples to keep your stomach happy.

For more details about all of the events listed and more, check out downtownfortcollins.com.

Modernizing Morgan over the years

by Erin Udell The Rocky Mountain Collegian As one of the most visited

and well-known buildings on campus, the Morgan Library offers students a quiet place to study, meet with friends and

find books for projects, papers or pleasure.

But with the recent expansion project beginning this past

spring, Rams can expect a whole new library experience — ushering in a fresh and inn ovative era for the 46-year-old building.

morgan library throughout the years

From 1880 to 1928 The first library on campus was opened in 1880 as a small reading room in the Old Main Building. Throughout the years, as the collection grew from its original 27 books and 32 newspaper periodicals, the library eventually moved to Laurel Hall from 1904 to 1928 and then to the “Oval” library — the building now housing the Institute for Learning and Teaching (TILT).

1995 The first addition to Morgan Library began in 1995 after President Albert Yates designated more than $20 million toward the project as part of the “A Promise Fulfilled” campaign.

The expansion added 109,000 square feet of space for an additional 350,000 books and 900 user seats, including computer labs, an electronic information center and 300 public access computer terminals.

July 1997 Only two years after the renovation plans were unveiled, the library experienced massive damage in the infamous July 1997 flood, which ruined thousands of books.

1965 In 1965, after years of preparation and months of construction, the William E. Morgan Library opened its doors to the CSU campus. With a price tag around $2.5 million, the new building had the capacity to house 600,000 books and accommodate 2,000 people.

Courtesy of morgan library archives and special collections

20

In March 2011, major phases of the library redesign began, including the construction of many new and improved elements.

The commons: This redesigned area will offer improved assistive technology rooms, a larger computer lab and a help desk. Estimated completion date: September 2011.

The cube: This 4,500-square foot, two-story glass structure will allow students a 24-hour study center.

Estimated completion date: May 2012.

The collaboratory: In place of the fourth floor, this area will allow space for students to work in groups, offering study rooms and an open group-study space.

Estimated completion date: August 2011.

Know the ‘who’s who’ on campus Names on campus that every Ram should know Joe Blake

Chancellor of the CSU System Thought the university president was important?

Think again –– Blake’s his boss. This Colorado native is in charge of the entire Colorado State University system, which includes CSU – Ft. Collins, CSU – Pueblo and CSU – Global Campus, an online university serving nontraditional students.

He oversees the system’s $800 million budget, $328 million research expenditures and 120,000 students.

Fundraising efforts also rest on his shoulders. As one former CSU system official once said to the Collegian, “Joe will be able to know all the doors and all the issues –– if there’s a dollar that can be sent to education Joe will be there to get it.”

Anthony ‘tony’ frank President of CSU

The head honcho, big cheese and academicin-chief, President Tony Frank is the most important person at CSU–Ft. Collins.

He’s responsible for firing and hiring crucial campus employees, crafts the university’s budget and is at the center of any major changes made to CSU.

By Andrew Carrera The Rocky Mountain Collegian

Henry ‘rick’ miranda

Provost and Executive Vice President The provost holds deans and department chairs accountable, approves the promotion of professors, signs off on the validity of academic programs and reviews student appeals.

Want to create a class for underwater basket weaving and get credit for it? Go through Miranda. Disagree with a grade you got in class? Go through Miranda. He’s the university’s top academic officer who oversees 150 programs of study, and is second in command at CSU after Pres. Frank.

Blanche hughes

Jody Donovan

Eric Berlinberg

The Campus Recreation Center, Lory Student Center, diversity offices, Housing and Dining Services, Career Center and Student Leadership, Involvement, and Civic Engagement all fall under the student affairs division at CSU, which is headed up

by Hughes.

Rams participating in alternative spring break programs whisking them to places like Samburu, Kenya, or taking advantage of sushi night at a given dining hall have various officials to thank –– all of whom report to Hughes.

Donovan commands a large portion of the student affairs division at CSU. Campus life, Adult Learner and Veteran Services, Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct Services, Greek life, Off-Campus Life and Student Legal Services all fall under her jurisdiction.

For example, fraternities and sororities host the annual “Greek Week” at CSU, a seven-day celebration consisting of various activities for Greek students like chariot races sponsored by Red Bull. All activities, however, have to be approved by Donovan.

The Associated Students of CSU president has the unmatched responsibility of managing the university’s student government, which oversees $31 million in student fees, representing the university off campus and deciding whether or not to fund events like the annual American Indian Science and Engineering Society Pow Wow. Berlinberg made more than 40 campaign promises during the 2011 campaign season, including providing free blue books for exams, a shuttle service to Denver International Airport as well as the city and a large concert at Hughes Stadium as part of a multiple-day festival called “CSU Days.”

Rachel Roberson

Chase Eckerdt

Roberson will serve as speaker of the Associated Students of CSU Senate in addition to fulfilling other roles within student government. Last year’s vice-president was the driving force behind passing a $4 student fee that provides resources to campus survivors of domestic violence, which now funds a new male advocate position within the Women and Gender Advocacy Center.

As head of one of the Associated Students of CSU’s most important departments, Eckerdt will track legislation affecting students as well as lobby for the passage of bills that benefit the university.

Eckerdt can decide which items to support or work against, potentially giving him control over the fate of certain vital bills as well as the image of the university at the Colorado State Capitol.

Tom Hilbert

Steve Fairchild

Vice President of the Associate Students of CSU

Head Women’s Volleyball Coach The university maintains a NCAA Division 1 volleyball program that attracts an average of 2,180 Rams to each game. The team consistently finishes as one of the best in the nation each year. Hilbert made history on Nov. 4, 2010 when the Rams defeated UNLV at Moby Arena. The win marked the 353rd victory in his CSU career, leading him past legendary basketball coach Jim Williams for the most wins in CSU history.

Tim Miles

Head Men’s Basketball Coach

As Ram Football heads into the 2011-2012 season, coming off of two consecutive 3-9 finishes, it is up to Fairchild to improve the university’s best-attended program.

Meet me at the Recreation Center Campus rec has opportunities for everyone

LEFT: Hunter Hayes climbs the rock wall in the Student Recreation Center.

by Erin Eastburn)

By Jason Pohl The Rocky Mountain Collegian Part of what makes Fort Collins and Colorado State University so great is its emphasis on recreation and athletics. And after years of planning and progress, the Campus Recreation Center’s construction is complete.

All facilities are now open, and all you have to do to get into the Rec Center is present your Colorado State University ID card to the front desk. Hours vary, so check out the Campus Recreation website.

What follows are some of the biggest improvements to recreation at CSU.

Pool

Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of the construction process is the redesigned pool and hot tub areas. Whether you want to race in one of four lap lanes, use the aquatic climbing wall or simply wade the day away, there is an option for everyone.

Also now open is the 40-person spa where students can often be seen lounging around. If crowds aren’t your thing, take a step into the steam room or sauna to get your sweat on.

The pool opens with the Rec Center and closes 30 minutes before the main building.

Climbing Wall

If water isn’t for you, pick up rock climbing or bouldering instead.

Located near the main entrance to the Rec Center, you will likely see people racing up the 40-foot rock wall or contemplating their next move on one of the new routes. Harnesses, shoes and chalk are available for checkout at the Outdoor Adventure Program’s desk nearby.

All wall climbers must get 38

checked off for belay certification before tying in.

If heights are not for you, tackle one of the many challenges on the new 55-foot-long bouldering wall. The bouldering wall and cave are open any time the building is, and crash pads accompany the 12-to-14-foot-high wall.

There is something for everyone, and difficulties range from beginning level to more advanced and open ones.

Basketball Courts, Track

Indoor basketball courts provide a chance for anyone wanting to play a game of HORSE or 3-on3 to do so, even if the weather outside has other plans. Check out a ball, get your friends together and come take over one of eight hoops in the main gym.

If you get tired of hoops, take a walk upstairs and do some laps on the 1/8-mile long track that loops above the basketball courts.

It attracts runners of all calibers including those who just want to take a break from benching and buffing up.

Fitness Center

Another key to the recent-

ly renovated Rec Center was adding space, and the fitness center benefited greatly from this. Separated onto two levels, treadmills, stationary bikes and rowing machines accompany the bench presses, free weights and virtually every other piece of exercise equipment available.

The Rec Center also offers numerous classes for anyone want-

ing to get into shape, learn a new skill like kick-boxing, participate in a triathlon or simply relax after a long day of classes.

Be sure to check out the website for updated information on classes and opportunities at the newly renovated Colorado State University Rec Center.

Coping with campus construction Don’t let summer work projects slow you down

By Kelly Sterner College Avenue Summer is here again, which means the weather is warm, summer classes are on track, the bustle of the school year has settled down and construction projects are officially underway.

A few key areas of campus are undergoing construction this summer that may change how you commute though Colorado State University. Here’s a list of summer 2011 construction projects and road closures to be aware of.

Morgan Library addition and renovation A two-story, 13,000 gross square feet addition at the north entrance 24-hour study and computing space Expanded cafe space Extensive renovation of the first floor Expected Completion: May 2012 Temporary entrance to the library is on the East side

updated LSC Master Plan Expected Completion: February 2012

Engineering II

Parmelee Hall renovation

A three-story, 105,000 gross square foot classroom and laboratory building Located north of Green Hall at the corner of Laurel Street and Meridian Avenue Expected completion: February 2013

Lory Student Center Theatre renovation A complete renovation of the interior of the Lory Student Center (LSC) Theatre Over 20,000 square feet on three levels First phase of the recently

Construction moves across the streets near the Morgan Library. Meridian Street will become the primary route for construction traffic over the summer and will close to thru traffic from South Drive to Laurel Street.

Addition of a fourth floor to each of the four residential wings Additional community and academic support spaces Addition will add approximately 30,000 gross square feet with 80 residential rooms per building Modernizing the exterior to bring cohesiveness to campus housing Expected Completion: August 2012

Braiden Hall renovation Addition of a fourth floor to each of the four residential

wings Additional community and academic support spaces Addition will add approximately 30,000 gross square feet with 80 residential rooms per building Modernizing the exterior to bring cohesiveness to campus housing Expected Completion: August 2013 Starting May 16, 2011, Meridian Street will close to thru traffic from South Drive to Laurel Street. Meridian Street will become the primary route for construction traffic for the Parmelee Hall, library addition, Engineering II and LSC Theatre renovation projects. It will only be open to construction traf-

fic, Transfort and emergency and service vehicles until the end of construction, which will be sometime in summer or fall of 2013. University Avenue will also be closed from Meridian Street to Morgan Library. Separate marked lanes will be available for pedestrian and bike traffic outside of the construction routes.

“The best way to get around is to use Lake or Prospect,” Sam Woolsey, a junior economics major and summer student, said. “I always avoid Pitkin, Laurel and College and Meridian, even when it’s open.”

That’s on Saturday just outside the UC [University Center].”

But the biggest change this year involves Rangers baseball tickets for anyone and a new program called “Success U.” On Aug. 1, Student Activities started selling $5 tickets for Welcome Week’s UT Arlington Student Night with the Rangers. Nagy said the tickets were going quickly.

While the baseball game is for anyone, “Success U” is geared toward freshmen, Nagy said. Newcomers will hear from faculty and staff about UTA expectations and what it takes to succeed in class.

“That’s a two-day program for incoming students to get kicked off on the academic side — studying skills, balancing, time management, those kinds of things,” she said.

Ultimately, Welcome Week is for everyone who wants to have fun, meet new people or get reacquainted with old friends, Nagy said.

“More of our non-traditional students can find events they can bring their kids to as well,” she said.

UTA is about to host a two-weeklong bash throughout the campus.

As part of Welcome Week and Maverick Stampede, students, friends and family, faculty and staff can participate in more than 50 events from Aug. 22 to Sept. 10 , starting with Move-In Day, where the Apartment and Residence Life staff volunteers to help students move their belongings in.

“These first couple of weeks are to not only to meet new people, but to see old friends you haven’t seen all summer,” said Lisa Nagy, coordinator of Welcome Week and Student Affairs assistant vice president. “It’s not just for one population. It’s for all of our students, not just our new ones, or graduate students.”

Events for Welcome Week have been going on for more than 20 years, Nagy said, but the two-week event wasn’t dubbed Welcome Week/ Maverick Stampede until about five years ago. That’s when UTA really started to bring a calendar of events together.

What used to be only a week has

become two weeks because of the amount of participation, Nagy said, with sometimes an estimated 2,000 people at an event.

“You’ve got Student Activities, Campus Recreations, Multicultural Affairs that do some of the events, and then you’ve got some of the academic colleges that are involved,” she said.

“The library sponsors some events, the international office sponsors some events. Welcome Week/Maverick Stampede is really a campus-wide community.”

This will be business finance senior Gita Christy’s second year attending Welcome Week.

“Last year, it was crowded ­— hot,” the international orientation leader said. “I didn’t get into convocation, but I did go to the after-party. That was a lot of fun. Then I pretty much went around school to see what they had.”

After convocation, the university hosts various games, activities and free food on the Central Library mall.

Nagy said students could look forward to getting free food for about two weeks, especially with almost all events free. The only time students may have to pay is at the Activities Fair, and that’s $2 for a hot dog or drink.

“Our first event in Welcome Week for our department is Wings, Wieners and Water on Aug. 27,” said Carter Bedford, Student Governance and

Student Life

Smoke clears on tobacco ban reality The UTA will not give tickets to smokers, but other students can report them.

By Monica S. Nagy The Shorthorn senior staff

Students stepping on campus for the first time since spring semester will notice it’s smoke-free, for the most part.

As of Aug. 1, the campus became tobacco free. A move Jeff Jones said began more than 18 months ago with surveys, research and Town Hall meetings, “overwhelmingly” supporting the ban. Jones is the Human Resources learning and development manager.

“We are by no means on the cutting edge,” Jones said. “There are 531 campuses in the U.S. to model this after.”

He said UTA looked to the University of Michigan as a school that effectively made the change.

The UTA community and its guests are now prohibited from using any type of tobacco product on any part of the university – its sidewalks, parking lots and housing to name some areas.

This also includes the building in Fort Worth and leased places such as research and development sites.

Smokers can only do so in their vehicles with the windows up.

The UTA Police Department has not and will not give out citations, assistant police chief Rick Gomez said.

“I don’t even think a ticket would do it,” said English senior Amy Tuttle as she took a drag of her cigarette. “I would probably just be sneakier the next time.”

Tuttle said she spends much of her time on campus with her full class load and working two on-campus jobs.

“If someone asks me to put it out, I will,” she said. “It’s just courteous to not smoke, but to say there’s no place we can smoke is ridiculous.”

Smoking Cessation Class

TOBACCO-BAN POLICY

The university offers a smoking cessation program to those interested in quitting smoking.

A. Effective Aug. 1, 2011, the use of tobacco products (including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco and other tobacco products) by students, faculty, staff and visitors are prohibited on all UTA properties.

The classes are divided into four sections — Understanding Addiction, Steps to Quitting, How to Cope and There is Help.

B. The use of tobacco products (including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco or other tobacco products) is prohibited:

Classes are offered every third Tuesday and Wednesday of each month.

The university’s Health Services requires that classes be taken in sequential order.

The next classes are Sept. 20 and 21.

To register call Health Services at 817-272-2711.

Enforcement will come in the form of self-policing. Jones said regardless of who is in violation, someone can speak up and say, “Do you know there is a new policy?”

Students can contact the Office of Student Affairs or a professor to report someone in violation. They’ll address it through the student judicial code.

“Unless there is an absolute egregious refusal, I don’t know if there will be an immediate citation and ticket,” Jones said.

“What we’re really trying to create is a culture of compliance.”

The Christian Campus Center and Baptist Student Ministry across from the University Center are not owned by the university, but the owners say they’re on board with the tobacco ban.

“We had a smoking ban here before the university,” center director Bob Frazier said.

Frazier said he used to let students smoke on the property several years ago, but it became littered with cigarette butts, so he changed his mind.

“We had to police our ground ourselves,” Frazier said.

He said all he’s had to do is

1. In all interior space on UT Arlington campuses; 2. On all outside property or grounds of UTA campus* including partially enclosed areas such as walkways, breezeways and bus shelters; 3. In UTA vehicles, including buses, vans and all other university vehicles; 4. In all indoor and outdoor athletic facilities, as well as the grandstands of outdoor facilities.

C. The use of tobacco products (including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco or other tobacco products) is allowed for use in personal vehicles, provided:

1. the windows are closed; 2. all tobacco waste products are properly disposed of.

D. The university prohibits the campus-controlled advertising, sale or free sampling of tobacco products on campus.

E. Littering the campus with remains of tobacco products or any other disposable product is prohibited.

As part of the tobacco ban, the university removed ashtrays around the campus before Aug. 1. In addition to cigarettes, all tobacco products are banned.

kindly ask someone to stop, and they’ve complied.

Center office manager Doris Frazier said she used to smoke and understands the difficulty in quitting.

“I do understand why these students want to smoke,” she said. “It’s social. It’s a true addiction.”

Gary Stidham, BSM director, said via email they too already

have a smoke-free policy that has been in effect and will continue.

Jones said there are cessation courses people can go through and take advantage of for help with the transition.

“It’s not just we’ve gone tobacco free and you’re on your own,” Jones said.

Monica S. Nagy

F. Organizers and attendees at public events, such as conferences, meetings, public lectures, social events, cultural events and sporting events using UTA facilities will be required to abide by the tobacco-free policy and procedure. Organizers of such events are responsible for communicating the policy to attendees and for enforcing this policy.

G. Campus organizations are prohibited from accepting money or gifts from tobacco companies. * Main Campus, all satellite locations and all other buildings or facilities leased off the main UT Arlington campus Source: UTA

Fox said businesses can update the website with daily specials.

Merchants are given stickers to display on their windows and little plaques to put by the register that reads they are a Maverick Discount Program participant.

Genghis Grill manager Richie Labarbera said they have been on the discount program for two years.

Labarbera said the restaurant, which offers 10 percent discounts to the UTA community, gets a lot of traffic from students taking advantage of the program.

Music media sophomore Ross Owen said he hasn’t heard of the program during his two and a half years here.

“I think they should advertise on signs around campus,” Owen said.

“I think that would help make it stand out.”

Besides the website, SC advertises the program by listing the website on all of their brochures and by telling students about it at meetings. University Communications advertises to local businesses and university updates.

Fox said if there are any merchants that students want to see discounts from that aren’t on the website, they can visit SC offices at the University Center lower level or email her at sc-pres@uta.edu.

Start looking ahead While it’s tempting to be nostalgic, pay attention to where we are now — UTA Since late July, I’ve been forcing myself to stay up later so I can watch my favorite ’90s Nickelodeon television shows. I grew up watching Kenan and Kel , All That , Doug and Clarissa Explains It All. The cable network Teen Nick started a special block of shows for the summer called “The ’90s Are All That.” During this block that starts at 11 p.m., the network plays their best DUSTIN L. DANGLI shows from the decade.

It’s the perfect formula to cash in on nostalgia.

Lunchable and seeing flashes of the care I would take to stack the perfect cracker sandwiches. It’s reading old love letters that set my heart aflutter with the joys and downfalls of puppy love. It’s watching my favorite childhood shows that make me feel like a kid.

But like any vice, nostalgia is only good in moderation.

Take this semester to focus on the world around you and the future.

For incoming freshmen, this means taking advantage of your new setting at UTA. Maybe you were the coolest thing in high school. Maybe you weren’t. It doesn’t matter. As you start a new chapter in your life, it’s a point where you can be the person you want to be.

Transfer students, don’t focus on what the college experience has been, think about what it can be here at UTA. College doesn’t have to be class after class until graduation, UTA offers much more. There’s an organization to fit your liking so you can be the person you want to be.

Returning students, you’ve heard it all before. But don’t hold on to the nostalgia of what UTA was. The university is changing, a lot of it is physical — new structures, new features and more improvements. But as the university strives to be recognized as a national research institution, students’s experiences are being impacted. Give UTA a fresh look this semester and be the person you want to be.

EDITORIAL/OUR VIEW

Take the time, save money Use your Maverick discount at local businesses That shiny Mav Express card does more than open doors and keep you in the Central Library past midnight, it can also save you money around campus.

More than 120 businesses in Arlington offer discounts that you can only receive by flashing the blue and orange ID card, or for those that joined UTA before 2008, the card with the fountain background.

This may sound like an outrageous suggestion, but students: use it.

The first step is researching what businesses offer student discounts.

Some places advertise their discount, but many don’t. The university’s Maverick Discount Program webpage features a robust list of companies and their discounts.

The next step to retrieving a dis-

count is to let an employee know you’re a UTA student. Don’t be afraid to ask if a location offers student discounts. The reason a lot of businesses offer the deals in the first place is because they want student business.

One strategy is to ask, “You offer a UTA discount, right?” Another is to hand the employee at the register your Mav Express card with your credit card like it’s business as usual.

If saving money isn’t enough incentive to do the work, there are intangible benefits of taking advantage of the discounts offered exclusively to the UTA community.

The city, especially around campus, houses local businesses you can only experience here in Arlington.

Especially when it comes to eateries, student discounts make trying a new

burger or taco less damaging to your wallet.

But the discounts don’t stop at eateries. In addition to restaurants; retail, services, entertainment and personal-care businesses offer student discounts as well. That means students can save in most avenues of purchases from daily meals to the larger investments or emergencies.

All that’s left is to find out where you would like to save money.

Students play flag football at Maverick Stadium on Sept. 9, 2010. Intramural sports offer a variety of activities including softball, sand volleyball, soccer, poker, raquetball and tennis.

Unique opportunities are available for freshmen learning the ropes. by josh bowe The Shorthorn sports editor

UTA intramural sports is making itself more open to all students at UTA, whether it is a freshman looking to fit in, a senior wanting to try something new or everyone else in between.

Drew Barfield, intramural sports assistant director, said the goal for intramural sports this year was to give everyone an option. That means more emphasis on freshman-exclusive leagues and lower-level leagues. Starting this year, there will be a freshman league for every intramural team sport.

Barfield believes many of the veteran flag football teams were too dominant for any freshmen to join and compete. Thus, the freshman league was developed to give new students a more competitively balanced playing field.

The freshman league for last year wasn’t as big as Barfield hoped, he said. Barfield didn’t think enough freshmen knew about the opportunity.

The intramural program allows students to stay active in their favorite sport even if they don’t have the ability to play on a NCAA team.

Intramural sports coordinator Tak Momose said the program is a great way to become acquainted with UTA. “You can meet a lot of new people,” he said. “That’s one of the biggest things about playing.”

Criminal justice senior Billy Miller had enough trouble making new friends when he first started at UTA, commuting from Bedford — a 20-minute drive from campus — with

a part-time job as well.

But after playing flag football for several seasons, that problem began to evaporate.

“There are a lot of good guys that play the game,” Miller said. “It was very open for someone not as familiar with UTA as a freshman.”

That openness has allowed a wide range of students to participate.

Barfield said one of the things he finds most remarkable is the diversity of students involved.

“It’s very interesting to go out and see all the different types of people,” Barfield said. “Seeing all the interactions that are, for the most part, positive.”

UTA will be offering eight different team sports to go along with 12 individual events. Being an athlete isn’t even required. If you prefer to do battle on the virtual field or in the recreation room, UTA offers a tournament for the video game “Madden 12,” fantasy football, foosball and poker.

Barfield wants to make sure freshmen take advantage of the unique opportunity — they are the only group allowed to join more than one flag football league.

“This gives freshmen more options,” Barfield said. “They have a league for them, so it’s not as competitive without more experienced teams.”

Regardless of what sport or league a student chooses, Barfield believes the entertainment of intramural sports is second to none at UTA. Miller certainly agrees.

“It’s the best thing I’ve done at UTA,” he said. “I can’t imagine having more fun with any other program.”

Enrolled in a UTA SCUBA class?

The move will demand more for UTA sports programs, coaches say.

By Josh Bowe The Shorthorn sports editor

Darin Thomas was both surprised and excited.

The UTA baseball head coach knew immediately what his program had to live up to and what level of excellence his program needed to meet with the announcement of the move to the Western Athletic Conference.

“I knew we were getting into a great conference,” Thomas said. “Since 2003, they have two national championships in baseball (Rice, 2003, and Fresno State, 2008).”

UTA formally accepted an invitation to the WAC on July 14. The 14 teams here at UTA will compete in the Southland Conference for its last season before officially changing conferences on July 1, 2012.

With that change comes the higher expectations that Thomas believes will change the way he handles his program. That means more hours spent scouting and recruiting players to raise the level of play for his baseball team. Thomas said he has to raise the level of work that he expects from himself.

“No question. We’d be fooling ourselves if we were to follow the same routine,” he said.

“It’s going to be a challenge.”

Thomas isn’t alone in that sentiment. Other UTA coaches are planning to step up their games up, as well.

Volleyball head coach Diane Seymour said she’ll have to continue to improve at molding young players. In the WAC, she said, the players aren’t necessarily bigger or overwhelming, but faster and well-coached.

“It is a step up for sure,” Seymour said. “They will be faster athletically. That’ll be an exciting change of pace.”

The benefits of moving from the SLC to the WAC won’t only be competition for UTA coaches. Although the move was made official a month ago, coaches have already seen the effects on their recruiting.

“We’re talking to players we’ve never talked to before,” women’s basketball head coach Samantha Morrow said. “It’s just a stronger conference. It has traditionally a lot more NCAA appearances as far as women’s basketball goes.”

Seymour agrees. She’s already had some potential recruits change their tune after hearing about UTA’s move.

“There have been a couple of kids that have said ‘Yeah, I’ll get over there and visit at some point,’ ” Seymour said. “Then you mention that we’re making a move to the WAC and they

Five things to know about the WAC: 1. Originally conceived on July 12, 1962, the WAC is the sixth oldest conference among the 11 Division I conferences.

2. The WAC was the starting ground for some of the nation’s top athletic programs.

Some teams that spent time in the WAC: Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University, Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young University, New Mexico, San Diego State, University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Boise State.

3. In 2001, the WAC signed a TV deal with ESPN to broadcast select games for both football and basketball.

4. The conference headquarters has been in Denver since its inception and ironically, the University of Denver will finally be joining the conference along with Seattle University in 2012.

5. The WAC is a non-automatic qualifier for the Bowl Championship series.

go ‘Oh, really? When can I get over there to visit?’ The tone definitely changes, and they seem to be more receptive.”

But even with the more high-profile competition, more talented recruits and more attention, Seymour recalled how well the SLC treated UTA. UTA and the SLC have gone hand-in-hand since the Mavericks opened as one of the SLC’s charter members in 1963.

“I’ve been a member of the Southland conference as a player and a coach for 20 years,” Seymour said. “I’ll miss those coaches because they’ve become friends in my life.”

Seymour and other UTA coaches won’t be saying goodbye to all of their coaching colleagues. Texas State and UTSan Antonio will join UTA in the WAC in 2012, as well.

The schools will have room to make their own names in the conference as the WAC is seeing some of its teams leave.

The headlining school, Boise State — most known for its football teams’s rise from Cinderella to perennial contender — has jumped to the Mountain West Conference.

Boise State won’t be alone, because Fresno State, Hawaii and Nevada will all leave the WAC in 2012, leaving the door open for UTA to grab a spot in the limelight. For Thomas, to get there, he knows his program will have to grow.

“I knew that we had to raise the level of the entire program,” Thomas said. “The level of play, recruiting – all of it. We have to keep it up.”

Police: School bomb plot aimed for mass casualties

Turkey PM compares Syrian leader to Gadhafi

17-year-old Jared Cano faces felony charges for possession of bomb-making materials.

Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Police were already keeping an eye on 17-year-old expelled student Jared Cano when they were tipped off that he was allegedly planning to bomb his old high school when classes resumed. In his apartment, they found shrapnel, plastic tubing, and timing and fuse devices that he was amassing in a plot he intended to be worse than the Columbine mass killings, police said Wednesday.

Before Tuesday’s discovery, Cano had been arrested several times, and most recently accused of breaking into a house and stealing a handgun, Tampa police said.

He had a court-ordered curfew and was on a police watch list.

Officers checked up on him from time to time.

“We’ve been very, very familiar with him,” police Maj. John Newman said.

Besides the bomb-making materials, officers said they also found a journal with schematic drawings of rooms inside Freedom High School and statements about Cano’s intent to kill specific administrators and any students who happened to be nearby next week.

His juvenile arrests included burglary, carrying a concealed weapon, altering serial numbers on a firearm and drug possession.

None had stuck. They had been either dismissed or no action had been taken, beyond putting his name on the police watch list.

The school scheme was mapped out minute-by-minute and he wanted to cause more casualties than the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, which killed 13 before the two shooters killed themselves, said Police Chief Jane Castor.

Jared Cano, 17, center, is led out of the courtroom in Tampa, Fla., Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2011after being charged with possession of bomb-making materials in connection with a plot for an attack at Freedom High School on the first day of school. He was arrested Tuesday night, after a confidential informant told Tampa police the teen was planning to blow up Freedom High School on the first day of class. Cano, an expelled student, faces felony charges of possessing bomb-making materials, cultivating marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possessing of marijuana and threatening to throw, project, place or discharge a destructive device.

“were probably able to thwart a potentially catastrophic event, the likes of which the city of Tampa has not seen, and hopefully never will,” Castor said.

He also had a marijuana-growing operation, police said. On his Facebook page, he says he attends the “University of Marijuana,” where he is studying “how to grow weed.”

Principal Chris Farkas and other administrators knew Cano, too. He’d been expelled in April 2010. Farkas said Tuesday that Cano likely would have been “redflagged” as soon as he stepped on campus and probably would not have been able to pull off his plan.

Farkas said he is accustomed to all sorts of threats at a school

of 2,100 on a large campus in the northern suburbs. Still, he was spooked about what might have been.

“My first response was shock,” he said. “I wanted to see if it was a real threat.”

“Once I found out and saw the information and saw what was taken from the apartment complex, that was when the reality and the fear set in that this was a real situation,” he said.

The St. Petersburg Times reported that prosecutors at a hearing Wednesday said that when Cano was arrested, he repeated his plan to detonate a bomb and cause mass casualties at Freedom High School, which opened in 2002 and was named to honor

BEIRUT — Turkey’s prime minister compared Syria’s president to Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi on Wednesday, as Damascus defied international calls to end the crackdown on a 5-month-old uprising.

the victims of 9/11.

Cano tried to speak when he appeared before a judge but was quickly hushed by a public defender standing beside him.

“The plot wasn’t...” Cano said, before the public defender stopped him and told the judge that “he has no comment,” according to the Times.

Police told Farkas that Cano worked alone. Parents of every student got a recorded call informing them about Cano’s arrest, said the principal of the highperforming school built to handle the overflowing northern suburbs in an area some locals refer to as New Tampa.

Authorities did not name the administrators targeted nor would they disclose who tipped them off.

After Cano was expelled from Freedom, he attended a charter school and left voluntarily in March, according to Hillsborough County schools spokeswoman Linda Cobbe. At that point he was 16 and could have chosen to drop out. He was not registered to attend classes this upcoming school year.

Cano faces felony charges of possessing bomb-making materials, cultivating marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possessing of marijuana and threatening to throw, project, place or discharge a destructive device.

The Department of Children and Families said the agency investigated Cano’s family in 2009.

A spokesman gave no other details except to say DCF found no evidence of abuse or neglect.

Police said his mother let them search the apartment in a modest complex just a few miles from the school. The Tampa Tribune reported that Cano’s great-grandfather Elliot Horning said that Cano’s mother, Michelle, was divorced from his dad and worked as a math teacher at another Tampa high school. His mother was not at the apartment Wednesday.

Volunteer planned gas attack on protestors MADRID — A chemistry student working as a volunteer for the pope’s visit to Madrid was arrested on suspicion of planning a gas attack targeting protesters opposed to the pontiff’s stay, officials said Wednesday. Pope Benedict XVI is due to arrive Thursday for a nearly four-day visit to celebrate World Youth Day, and thousands of protesters railing against his visit staged their march Wednesday night to Madrid’s central Sol plaza where they have held months of demonstrations against Spanish politicians and the government’s antiausterity policies.

Obama’s plan: New jobs proposals, challenging GOP WASHINGTON — Under fire in a nation desperate for jobs, President Barack Obama will soon announce a broad package of tax cuts, construction work and help for the millions of Americans who have been unemployed for months, a White House official said Wednesday.

Republicans immediately cast doubt about any such plan, setting up a fresh economic showdown as the presidential campaign intensifies. Obama will unveil his economic strategy in a speech right after Labor Day, hoping to frame the autumn jobs debate by pressuring Republicans in Congress to act or face the voters’ wrath. The country is in a deep state of disgust about Washington politics, piling urgency on both parties to help the economy quickly — or somehow position the other side to take the blame.

there’s a huge portion of our residents who can’t afford to do those things.”

She said the fact that events at the Levitt Pavilion are free is what’s most important.

The Levitt Pavilion starts its fall series with the mosh-pit polka band, Brave Combo, on Sept. 1. O’Neal said kicking off every fall concert series with this band has become a tradition.

From there, artists such as blues musician Ruthie Foster, contemporary Christian band Luminate and indie rockers The Burning Hotels and Calhoun will also perform.

From the fall concert series, Zarmbinski is most interested in Jeff Coffin’s performance, the Grammywinning saxophonist from Dave

Matthews Band, with the UTA Jazz Orchestra, on Sept. 25.

Coffin will also come to UTA Sept.

24 to do a music clinic with the university’s Jazz Orchestra.

“This is a collaboration we do every year,” she said. “It’s become tradition.”

Last year, jazz saxophonist Bob Mintzer performed with the orchestra at the pavilion.

O’Neal said several performers will appeal to the UTA crowd this fall, including post-punk revivalist The Burning Hotels and Texasbased indie-pop band Calhoun.

Levitt Pavilion has released its fall concert calendar with 18 performers on the docket.

The pavilion, which is located in Founder’s Plaza on Abram Street in downtown Arlington, has lined up everything from reckless rock to a Grammy-winning saxophone player to perform for its 2011 Texas Power Concert Series.

Levitt Pavilion currently hosts 50 free concerts per year. This summer more than 66,000 people attended a concert in the park.

Economics junior Aaron Zarmbinski said he first found out about the pavilion this summer at the Independence Day concert.

“I was surprised because I had never heard of any concerts going on at the Levitt Pavilion,” he said. “It looked like all of Arlington showed up.”

Because the Independence Day concert was the last concert of the summer, Zarmbinski said he is already planning to attend in the fall.

He said attractions like the Levitt Pavilion help make UTA have that “college-town feel.” “It is all about becoming part of the community.”

Cathy O’Neal, Levitt Pavilion communications director, said before the venue arrived in October 2008, there was no reason for people to come to

downtown Arlington at night.

“A lot of attention has been paid to try to revitalize the downtown Arlington area,” she said. “Part of the reason they had trouble getting that going is because there was no reason for people to come.”

O’Neal said she and executive director Patti Diou did not expect the pavilion to grow as quickly as it has.

During the first mini series, she said, they questioned how many people would show up.

“We both decided we’d be thrilled if 500 people came to the concert,” she said. “Now, we’ve gotten so jaded.

We’re disappointed if there is not 2,000 people on the lawn.”

Diou said they are excited to see the pavilion building a community.

“It’s so nice to see families sitting together, people that don’t know each other laughing and kids playing together,” she said. “It’s very rewarding to look out and see that — people enjoying the music.”

All four current staff members of the Levitt Pavilion are UTA alumni and have strong ties to the community. O’Neal said watching the revitalization of the area has been very important for them.

In Arlington, she said, there are a lot of great activities such as watching the Texas Rangers and visiting Six Flags Over Texas.

“But,” O’Neal said, “The reality is

Health Services offers medical programs Smoking cessation and HIV testing are just a few of the programs for students.

Free HIV Testing When: 3-6 p.m., Friday Where: University Center Palo Duro Lounge

By Bianca Montes The Shorthorn senior staff

UT Arlington Health Services will have 13 outreach programs on campus this fall to educate students on health related-issues.

Health Services is available to all students as part of the flat-rate tuition. Office visits are typically free to students, and the clinic provides discounts to uninsured students for other services. All pricing is available on the Health Services website.

Donielle Smith, health promotion and substance abuse coordinator, said the clinic would provide free HIV testing 3-6 p.m. Friday in the University Center Palo Duro Lounge. The testing is offered on a first-come-first-served basis to the first 125 students.

Students need to bring a valid Mav Express card to verify enrollment, but results remain confidential.

Smith said the testing encourages students to raise their awareness and know their status.

“Don’t be afraid,” she said. “Just get tested.”

During the fall, Health Services outreach will provide awareness events covering topics including prescription drug awareness, Love Your Body Day, a DUI simulator event and World AIDS Day. The outreach center will officially begin its events Sept. 26 to raise awareness for World Heart Day. Groups will raise money from noon to midnight for the American Heart Association with a 12-hour cycling marathon in the Maverick Activities Center.

In October, the outreach program, along with the Women’s Clinic will host an event for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Smith said the date is still tentative, but the event always takes place in October.

Stephanie Johnson, director of nurse practitioners, said in previous years the event had informed students about the risks of breast

Testing is provided on a first-comefirst-serve basis for 125 students.

Each student tested will receive free concert tickets to the fourth annual Hip Hop 4 HIV event Aug. 21 at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas.

“We are really being proactive in providing our smoking cessation classes because of the new anti-tobacco ban that’s on campus.”

cancer and how to administer a self-exam.

Office visits to the Women’s Clinic are free. The clinic also has paid services for birth control counseling and management, family planning, Pap smears and sexually transmitted infection screenings.

Health Services director Robert Blum said from Sept. 1, 2010, through Aug. 16, 2011, approximately 13,000 students visited various departments of the health center.

At the Medical Clinic, students can receive medical attention for general medical and mental health services, immunizations and women’s health services.

The clinic also is offering free classes to assist students who are looking to quit smoking.

“We are really being proactive in providing our smoking cessation classes because of the new anti-to-

bacco ban that’s on campus,” Blum said.

On Aug. 1, the university instilled its tobacco-free campus policy on campus.

He said the classes would be beneficial for students, and the clinic will provide nicotine replacements such as patches and lozenges, free of charge, for students who complete the classes.

Smith said the program is designed to give students a fresh start from tobacco and is broken down into four sessions: Understanding Addiction, Steps to Quitting, How to Cope and There is Help.

August classes are finished, but classes will resume Sept. 20 and 21.

To get an appointment for the health center, students can call the front desk at 817-272-2771.

Student Life

Group exercise classes to kick students into shape by natalie webster The Shorthorn copy desk chief

After New Year’s Eve, many people hit the gyms with hopes of spending the new year getting fit. According to group exercise instructor Elsa Apilado, the same applies for coming back to school after breaks.

“At the beginning of the semester, there’s a lot [of students] because everyone wants to get in shape,” she said. “Because classes overlap, they can be quite full. Especially yoga, Latin fusion and kickboxing. Mid-semester, it starts falling. There’s about 10-15 [in each class] at the end.”

Apilado has been teaching exercise classes for 28 years, eight of which have been at UTA, and is one of three or four non-student instructors at the Maverick Activities Center.

During the first week of classes each semester, the group exercise classes at the MAC are free of charge.

Alumna Kathryn Garner, who has took the yoga and kickboxing classes while she was a student, advises students to attend classes during this time.

“Try as many as you can and find out what you like,” she said. “It is a fun, easy way to work off some calories with your friends.”

Kim Gray, Earth and Environmental Science senior office assistant, has taken group exercise classes at the MAC for about four or five years.

When deciding which classes to take, she checked the schedules online and attended the classes she thought she’d enjoy.

“I’ll go, and if it worked out, then I would come back,” she said. “I’d get to know the

instructors and go to their classes.”

She couldn’t decide on a favorite class, though.

“I don’t know. I like the core pole,” she said. “I like Elsa’s class.”

Adjusting her microphone for the class she was about to teach, Apilado laughed.

“Because I talk a lot,” she interjected.

Apilado says the classes are predominately female, but jokes that the classes are deceptively hard.

“Guys come to kickboxing and don’t realize how hard it is,” she said. “They get here and go, ‘Wow! That’s hard!’

We’d like more guys to come.”

Every year, she plans to retire, but can’t bring herself to, she said.

“The exercise class students are absolutely wonderful here,” she said. “I keep thinking I’m going to retire, but I love teaching here.”

Although the fall schedule for the group exercise schedules has not been released, Apilado said she will be teaching four classes, two of which will be free all semester.

1. COLLEGE PARK DISTRICT The district, sitting on the east side of campus, will house College Park Center, The Green at College Park, and residence and retail space.

Updates on the district’s construction will be news throughout the fall because the center is expected to be complete in December. Men’s and women’s basketball teams and the women’s volleyball team will play in the new venue. The entire district is slated to be ready August 2012.

The Green at College Park is already open. The outdoor area, south of the College Park Center, has a butterfly garden and a walkway made of crushed and tumbled glass.

2. TIER ONE The university is pursuing Tier One status, or national recognition for research. This phrase will be used a lot during the fall as the university actively seeks funds for research.

A clear definition of the phrase is not set or agreed upon, university spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said. Generally, though, Tier One institutions spend more than $100 million annually on research, have distinguished faculty who are members of national academies, more than 1,000 tenured or tenure-track faculty, and offer more than 200 doctoral degrees a year.

Such institutions are also members of the Association of American Universities, an elite group of American and Canadian public and private research universities. Membership is by invitation only. UT-Austin, Texas A&M University, Columbia University and the University of Chicago are a few of the 61 institutions in the association.

UTA is aiming high with hopes of getting more research dollars, distinguished faculty and students who excel academically.

Having national recognition would make degrees from UTA more valuable, Sullivan said. “It’s the difference between your university being recognized on a regional stage, and a national and international stage,� she said.

university.

The program reaches out to the local community through online media, newsletters and invitations to campus events.

And through the Paint the Town Blue program, College Town, UTA helps businesses reach a university audience.

The Grease Monkey Burger Shop and Social Club reached out to College Town, UTA to advertise its opening and find potential employees, Amy Schultz used as an example. Schultz is UTA’s assistant vice president for communications and community relations.

The program also benefits students, Schultz said.

She said, for example, if people in the community like classical music and classical music students on campus are performing, the program would promote it.

“The more the business community understands the range of talent our students have, the more they will look for opportunities to these students into their place of business as interns or permanent employees,” she said.

College Town, UTA also helps build university pride, Schultz said. Seeing UTA posters, stickers and other memorabilia in local businesses makes for a positive, uplifting college-town environment, she said.

4. BUDGET Following the Texas legislative session, UTA received $10.2 million less in state funding for the next two years. Since before then, the university has made cuts in personnel and services.

University administrators stressed that the cuts

were tough to make, but UTA fared better than many other Texas institutions.

Effective Aug. 31, faculty and staff services will end at the Student Health Center. The university administration made the cut to save money and continue a strict focus on student services.

5. SUSTAINABILITY Though the university is focused on making cuts, it has also given sustainability on campus a high priority.

Sustainability at UTA means teaching the campus community about the

importance of conservation, changing behavior, energy-efficient buildings and waste reduction, Sustainability Office director Meghna Tare said.

The university incorporates sustainability practices through construction projects, on-campus dining, recycling and degree programs, Tare added.

During an open forum for Campus Sustainability Day on Oct. 20, students, faculty and staff can talk about sustainability issues and give ideas about what they’d like to see on campus. Attendees also will learn about opportunities to join the University Sustainability Committee.

Libraries

Students find solace in resources and renovations Libraries offer everything from computers for student use to tutors and research help.

by Christian Keitt The Shorthorn staff

UTA has five libraries, each offering different facilities and resources to students. The Central Library, the Architecture and Fine Arts Library, the Electronic Business Library, the Social Work Electronic Library and the Science and Engineering Library are spread across campus and available to students.

CENTRAL LIBRARY The Central Library, UTA’s primary campus library, has undergone a face-lift this summer. The second floor of the library has been closed for construction, but Tommie Wingfield, assistant to the dean for marketing and external relations at the Central Library, said it will reopen for students by the time school starts.

“They removed some books and are putting in a research area,” Wingfield said. “They’re repainting it and putting in new carpet. The new thing is the research area on the north end of the building.”

On the first floor, Sam’s Click Internet Cafe contains both PC and Mac computers for students, as well as study areas.

The Central Library Cafe and a Starbucks are also available for students on the first floor.

“The circulation desk is also on the first floor,” Wingfield said.

Social work senior Monet Leighman works as a circulation desk assistant at the Central Library.

“I like interacting with people at the library,” Leighman said. “It’s very laid back.”

Computer workstations are also available on floors two through five, according to the library’s website.

The second floor contains a reference desk where Wingfield said students should go if they need research help.

For education majors, the second floor has an education collection with state-approved textbooks and children’s books.

Students can also find government documents and a map collection on the second floor, as well as the newly renovated research area.

The third and fifth floors are designated “Quiet Study” spaces.

The fourth floor houses the writing center, run by the English Department.

Here, tutors help students with class essays, projects, reports, applications for scholarships or graduate programs, job application letters and resumes, or personal writing, according to the library’s website.

Special Collections is located on the sixth floor of the Central Library and contains more than shelves of books. The library hosts exhibits which everyone, not just students, can view.

“Right now, we have the best-attended exhibit we’ve ever had on the history of Six Flags [Over Texas], celebrating their fiftieth anniversary,” said Ann Hodges, special collections program coordinator. “Normally, we have something from our own collections, but this one has a lot of borrowed items in it.”

The library also has more than four million photographic images, along with older forms of graphics, and a map collection that Hodges said is “well known in certain research circles.”

“We don’t have just books, we have visual things of various sorts,” Hodges said. “We’ve got information in every possible format you could think of.”

The Special Collections library’s hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.

The sixth floor is an administrative space and also houses the Center for Greater Southwestern Studies and the History of Cartography.

The basement contains a digital media studio.

“You can go there to get music and videos and create posters, and whatever you do with multimedia projects,” Wingfield said.

ARCHITECTURE AND FINE ARTS The Architecture and Fine Arts Library provides computers, an image scanning work station, laptops for checkout and two library catalog work stations, according to the library’s website.

“Everything’s not on Google,” said Beverly Carver, Architecture and Fine Arts Library branch manager. “We have access to information that people need in order to do their research and learn.”

“I’ll begin to study the contemporary architecture of the current projects that are going on around the world,” he said.

ELECTRONIC BUSINESS LIBRARY The Electronic Business Library is located on the first floor of the Business Building.

It has seven computers available for students to access the Library’s online catalog and electronic resources, according to the library’s website.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Thursday and by appointment only Friday.

SOCIAL WORK LIBRARY The Social Work Electronic Library provides access to electronic resources dealing with social work disciplines.

The library is located in the Social Work Complex, Building A, on the first floor.

It has eight computers and provides access to several digital research tools and databases, according to the library’s website.

The library’s hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday.

ENGINEERING LIBRARY

The Shorthorn: Casey Holder

The second floor of the Central Library was closed for the summer sessions to undergo major renovations but has reopened in time for the fall semester. The second floor of the Central Library houses computers and a map collection.

The library also has a conference room with a computer projections system available for student use.

“Our busiest time here seems to be mid-afternoon, between noon and 6 p.m.,” Carver said.

Carver said she urges students in the Architecture and Fine Arts Library not to be afraid to ask for help.

“I hate to see students struggling when they could ask one of us, who do this for a living, for help,” she said.

Although fall library hours haven’t officially been approved yet, Carver said the proposed hours are 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6

p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 1-9 p.m. Sunday.

Architecture senior Mario Izquierdo works at the Architecture and Fine Arts Library.

“I help patrons if they need help finding a book or with research,” Izquierdo said. “Usually I help art and music majors. That’s the population that comes here most of the time.”

He said his favorite part about working at the library is helping and meeting other students.

When it isn’t busy, Izquierdo said he takes advantage of the library’s architecture books and magazines.

Like other libraries on campus, the Science and Engineering Library provides computer workstations and books available for reference and checkout.

This library is the only library on campus that allows students to borrow graphing calculators for 24 hours, said C.D. Walter, reference assistant at the Science and Engineering Library.

“It’s fairly quiet here. A lot of nonengineering people like to come here and study because it’s a lot quieter than the Central Library,” Walter said.

“It’s a lot smaller and a lot more homey.”

Library hours aren’t yet approved for the fall, but Walter said it will probably be 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 1-9 p.m. Sunday.

Art history senior Kathleen Forrest has a money-saving process when she buys books each semester.

She prints off her schedule and goes to the UTA Bookstore. Once there, she looks at the books she needs, writes down titles and prices, then she searches online for the best price.

“If I can find it on Amazon, I do that,” she said. “Otherwise, I rent it from the cheapest place I can find.”

Each semester, students have to figure out a way to pay for classes, their place of residence if they are living away from home, a parking spot if they have a car, food and books.

Because most students are struggling with money, books can be the easiest area to look at when trying to cut expenses.

Architecture senior William Rojas said he normally tries to ask friends who have taken similar classes if they have the books.

“There are a lot of people I know on campus who are a couple classes ahead of me,” he said. “Borrowing their’s is easy and free.”

He said he avoids buying books at the UTA Bookstore because of how expensive each text can get.

Another choice students have is to go to bookstores off campus such as The College Store and Half Price Books, though management senior Zabreion Moore doesn’t think they are the best options.

As she walked out of The College Store on Doug Russell Road, she said she felt a little frustrated after trying to sell a book back.

“I bought this book for over $60,” she said holding up an economics book. “They said they would only give me $6. No, thank you.”

Moore said she normally rents

“I can end up saving over $100 per semester,” she said.

UTA Bookstore director Paul Beaulieu said the prices the store charges for books isn’t up to the bookstore, but governed by a contractual obligation with the university. He said students don’t understand what the bookstore does for the campus.

“See all the people walking around working?” he asked. “Those are students. The bookstore provides jobs, gives a portion of its earning back to the campus, and has a direct interaction with professors.”

Beaulieu said in the event that a professor decides to change a book they use in the class, the bookstore would know immediately about the change and take care of any issues as

soon as possible.

“Here, we would refund or exchange the book,” he said. “Good luck trying to do that online.”

He said ordering books online comes with many risks, like getting the wrong edition of a book, whereas the bookstore does not.

“People think that the bookstore is out to gouge you, but that’s just not the case,” he said.

Last year, students saved more than $2.7 million by buying used books and more than $788,000 by using the Rent-A-Text program, according to a

UTA Bookstore pamphlet.

At the UTA Bookstore, students also can buy or rent books digitally, putting the book on any electronic device they want.

“The digital books are about half the price of new books and have a lot of features,” Beaulieu said.

He said he knows students get books at other places, but advises them to come to the campus bookstore instead.

Student Organizations

Students use groups for more than fun Director challenges every student to find something they don’t know anything about and try it.

By Shelly Williams The Shorthorn staff

With school starting, marketing senior Phillip Truong said there are a number of ways for students to get involved in something they want to do at UTA. He’s been a part of the Multicultural Affairs department since his sophomore year and is currently chairman for Asian Heritage Month.

Growing up in Texas, Truong said people were losing connections to their roots even though the state is full of diversity.

“I was kind of under the realization that with this position, I could help re-establish the roots, where we’re actually becoming more Americanized,” he said. “It’s a unique opportunity to help others learn more about themselves, and also share that culture with everybody else.”

Carter Bedford, Student Government and Organizations director, said the keys for students to get involved are finding something which relates to their major, finding something they enjoy on campus, volunteering, attempting something new and using the MavOrgs website.

Bedford said he challenges every student to find something they don’t know anything about, and try it at least once.

“A personal thing, I used to hate ballet and dance, but I had a fraternity brother who sang opera,” he said. “We were sitting in the back [at the opera], with hats on, and at one point

I was like ‘Oh, shoot, I’m too into it, people can see me.’ But now, I really do have a new appreciation for art, for all types of music, just because I went to one performance.”

For business law senior Cedric Radford III, the best way to get involved and learn about organizations was joining one.

“My favorite part about being involved in any organization at UTA is meeting new people, and listening and learning about the different area of study they focus on,” he said.

“My advice on how others can get involved at UTA is find at least two organizations in your college, be it business, math, engineering, or student [related], and get involved. Supporting fundraisers is how I learned about many organizations on campus and got a good meal.”

Joining an organization or activity that relates to a career field of choice can help students learn more about that field from an outside-the-classroom perspective, Bedford said.

“I’m not saying necessarily being the president, but you want to join something related to your major,” he said. “Because you want to get those connections, you want to be with students who are in that field and who are hopefully older, upperclassmen who can give you advice.”

Student Affairs is currently working to update all the organization websites, but Bedford said not all the contact information may be up yet because it’s the beginning of the semester. Bedford said he wants stu-

dents to keep in mind one thing before they join activities and organizations this fall.

“Of course, it builds up your co-curricular experiences and gives you some wonderful things outside of the classroom,” he said. “But this is a key point, your academics come first. You can’t do all this other stuff if you’re not going to class — you’re not doing well.”

Safety

Students can help prevent campus crime Crime Prevention Officer Ron Cook offers tips on how to stay away from dangerous situations.

By Nicole Luna The Shorthorn staff

Students in need should not hesitate to call the UTA Police out of fear of disturbing them, Crime Prevention Officer Ron Cook said.

However, there are some things students can do to avoid becoming victims of crime on campus.

The crime that occurs the most throughout the fall semester is the theft of unattended items, Cook said.

Most textbook thefts occur in the beginning of the semester because that is what students are looking for, and people who steal them can make a profit, Cook said.

“Generally, people, at any time, leave their items unattended,” he said. “Students [should] be aware of their surroundings and their items and belongings, especially in their cars.”

Cook said sometimes people who are looking to steal will just walk by cars in the parking lot, looking into windows to see if there is anything they can take.

“Students should not leave their expensive items such as a GPS and laptops out in the open,” Cook said.

If students want to leave their items in the car, they should put it away where it can’t be seen, he said.

Cook said the police department is the official lost and found of the university. “Students should mark their belongings with their driver‘s license number so that if someone turns in a lost item, the police department can look up the number and find the person that lost the

item,” he said.

Bike theft is another crime that happens often. Cook said that students should buy “U-locks” for their bikes because they are more secure than chain locks.

He also said students should register their bikes online. If a student’s bike was stolen but it was registered, there is a greater chance for it to be returned. UTA Police offers a bike registration service online.

Cook also suggested students not walk alone on campus especially if they are not familiar with it.

“Students should walk with a friend who knows the campus or they can request a police escort by calling the dispatch number,” Cook said. The dispatch number is 817272-3381.

Students may use the MAV Escort Ride for free from SundayThursday 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.

“The MAV Ride escorts are generally made by student employees,” Cook said. “But any university patron who has a safety concern may call the UTA Police Department at any time for an escort by a member of the UTA Police Department.”

Biology junior Tina Vu took a 6-10 p.m. lab class in the summer and said she takes necessary precaution.

“As a young woman, I think it’s extremely important to be aware of your surroundings wherever you go,” she said. “I do have UTA Police’s number stored in my phone in case of an emergency. And I make sure to carry Mace around with me just in case and I always avoid dark areas if possible.”

Journalism senior Kim Bauer says it is extremely important to be aware of one’s surroundings and she tries not to walk alone at night.

Parking

3 Things to know about cruising lots at UTA From shuttling to stalking, students have different ways and places to park.

“My strategy is to get here early in the morning, leave home at 6, get here at 7. I have classes at 8 or 10, but it’s better to come in early than to spend time circling around looking for a spot.”

By Vidwan Raghavan The Shorthorn copy editor

Before classes start, many students have to manage finding a parking spot on campus.

The Shorthorn has compiled three things to know that can make parking a better experience.

PARKING STRATEGY Every student has a different approach to finding the coveted “best” parking spot, be it circling around until they find one, or coming to school early.

Biology senior Akash Sharma said he thinks the parking facilities on campus are inadequate but he has a plan to get a good spot.

“My strategy is to get here early in the morning, leave home at 6, get here at 7,” he said. “I have classes at 8 or 10, but it’s better to come in early than to spend time circling around looking for a spot.”

Sharma said he usually parks in Lot 49 or by Pickard Hall because those lots are close to his classes in the Life Science Building.

Criminal justice sophomore Steven Tanuz said parking is a problem even though he lives in Arlington Hall.

“Eventually, you’ll learn the timings of classes and know when people get in and out.

You’ll learn when you can get a spot up front,” he said. “If I’m getting in at a bad time, I’ll head straight to the back of the lot.”

Tanuz said he hopes the reserved space for Arlington Hall residents in the College Park Garage would ease the

situation for him.

NO GRACE PERIOD Starting last fall, students lost a one week grace period to buy their parking decals. Since then, cars without a decal receive a citation from day one of the semester.

“We allowed the grace period from a customer service aspect, because the lines were long in the parking office,” assistant police chief Rick Gomez said.

He said it wasn’t an op-

tion anymore because students have to buy decals online. People who come to the parking office are directed to a kiosk to get a permit. It can be done anytime via MyMav. Students who don’t receive their decals by the first day of class can display their receipt to avoid a citation.

“Students have the opportunity to order permits and get them well in advance,” Gomez said. “They should take the opportunity to get them online.”

An annual Student Parking permit costs $130 and remote

parking costs $50.

SHUTTLE SERVICES Students can get to different parts of campus for free by using the shuttle service.

Students who choose to buy remote parking decals, which are $80 cheaper annually than regular ones, can park on the far edge of campus and ride the shuttle to class. Remote decals are available to students with only day-time classes.

According to the Shuttle Services website, there are four

Friends and family of two UTA employees killed in a Saturday shooting are planning their memorial and funeral.

Sisters Trini Do and Michelle Ta, along with three of their family members, were shot dead by Do’s estranged husband, Tran Do, Saturday night at a birthday party for Tran and Trini Do’s 11-year-old son at the Grand Prairie Forum Roller World skating rink. Four others were injured. Tran Do shot and killed himself at the end of the rampage, police say. A public visitation is scheduled for today at 7 p.m. at Moore Funeral Home in Arlington.

A candlelight vigil will follow at 8:30 p.m. outside the funeral home.

Do, 29, filed a protective order against her husband in December claiming he threatened her with a gun three times last year. She asked that it be dismissed weeks later, saying, “My husband promised to change and will work on our marriage for the kids,� according to Tarrant County court documents.

Trini Do joined TMAC, former-

ly the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center at UTA, in 2002 and had worked as a research associate handling financial records. Ta, 28, joined the TMAC staff in October 2004 and earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from UTA in August 2008. She also managed financial records for the center, which is based at UTA’s Automation & Robotics Research Institute campus in Fort Worth.

The sisters were good employees, Drew Casani, TMAC regional director, said in a statement. He helped organize a small wedding reception for Ta when she married about a year ago. “They were, without a doubt, two of the hardest workers and best people I have ever worked with,� he said in the statement.

The sisters attended Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church. Members expressed sorrow for the family. The women had many friends in the congregation. Ta was youth leader.

Accounting junior Si Nguyen was close friends with Ta. He organized the vigil. “I was speechless,� he said, referring to when he learned about the shooting. “I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t want to believe it.�

Conversation and coffee at Free Bucks The Keeslers intern at the Christian Campus Center’s shop and set up the free food.

BY VALLARI GUPTE The Shorthorn staff

Tom and Chelsea Keesler moved into their apartment in the Christian Campus Center building last spring.

They decided to do an unpaid internship at Free Bucks and at least one of them is there throughout the day. “If people need something and drop by, we are here,� said Tom Keesler, kinesiology and physical education sophomore.

The Keeslers wake up early each morning to make sure students have enough coffee and snacks by 7:30 a.m. Free Bucks, a part of the Chris-

tian Campus Center located across the University Center Starbucks, offers free food and a place for students to gather.

More than a hundred students go to the center every day during spring and fall, Tom Keesler said.

It is hard to build a personal relationship with each and every person because there are many students going in and out of the center, he said.

The Keeslers also read and talk with international students who may want to learn English or become fluent in it.

Mechanical engineering alumnus Hui Wang loves to meet strangers. “I like to meet people of different cultures and learn more about them,� Wang said.

While preparations for a proposed Honors dorm are definite, plans for construction of the building are not in the near future.

Honors Dean Robert McMahon said although the dorm is just a proposal, it will still happen. Right now,

“The students seem to be really happy,� she said.

UTA’s proposed dorm was a recommendation from McMahon. It’s one of two major goals he has for the college before his retirement in August, along with increasing space in College Hall.

President James Spaniolo said he would like to have an honors dorm or residence hall at some point. “There are a lot of things that we

Designs for a refresher of the University Center’s lower level are almost complete.

The refresher will affect Student Affairs entities that work from the lower level, or basement. The majority of the update includes new carpeting, paint, branding, and

some furniture and cabinet space by the first few weeks of fall.

Jeff Hazelrigs, Student Congress vice president, works in the basement and said the update will help make the workspace more of a destination. “Student groups suffer from a lack of exposure,� the business junior said. “Making it brighter and bringing it up to date will help.�

Hazelrigs said he’s worked in the basement since he was a freshman and calls it his “home on campus.�

A teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research may reduce the average consumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s software prices.

Jeff Lei, assistant computer science professor, has spent the last two years researching ways to reduce product testing that software developers perform. The research will help increase productivity by reducing the time used to test software.

Software is tested to see if the code used to write the software will perform the tasks it was designed Eachâ&#x20AC;&#x160;weekâ&#x20AC;&#x160;Theâ&#x20AC;&#x160;Shorthornâ&#x20AC;&#x160;willâ&#x20AC;&#x160;coverâ&#x20AC;&#x160; for, Lei said. researchâ&#x20AC;&#x160;projectsâ&#x20AC;&#x160;fromâ&#x20AC;&#x160;schools,â&#x20AC;&#x160;â&#x20AC;&#x160; Software collegesâ&#x20AC;&#x160;acrossâ&#x20AC;&#x160;campus. companies can spend as much as 50 percent of their development costs on testing, a factor that increases software prices. He said the process can be extremely timeconsuming.

But Lei and his team of computer science graduate students designed a combinatorial testing approach that, he said, would reduce the testing time. Combinatorial testing is a way to set up the number of parameters being tested and combining them to reduce steps in the testing process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our application will make testing easier,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Opara, computer science graduate student and research team member.

She said she wanted to support him to be successful in whatever he loves.

ous majors make up the Honors College, McMahon said. Of the 600 students, the proposed dorm will be able to hold up to 55 residents.

The National Collegiate Honor College considers an honors dorm an important characteristic for an Honors College. The University of North Texas added an honors dorm to its campus a few years ago in an attempt to have students live on campus long-term, said Sharon Miller, UNT honors dorm resident life coordinator.

several other construction projects will need to be finished before the honors dorm will be allowed to start, he said.

He said the dorm is a part of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-year Campus Master Plan and funding for the new dorm will come from building funds from the state.

The dorm may be located near the Thermal Energy Plant and College Hall but no concrete plans have been made at this time, he said.

As the mercury soared past the 100-degree mark, cars roared to action during Texas Autocross Weekend races. Twelve universities competed Saturday for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fastest Time of the Dayâ&#x20AC;? on UTA Parking Lot 49.

The University of Kansas made the laps in the least time in two races, followed closely by UTA. University of Kansas driver Nick Roberts completed the morning lap in 51.273 seconds, and UTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driver Chris Moulckers took 51.886 seconds. Roberts completed the afternoon track in 38.613 seconds and Moulckers in 38.909 seconds. Some cars sped 80 miles per hour.

During the afternoon race, UTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Formula Society of Automotive Engineers team members participating in the friendly competition threw ice cubes down each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shirts to beat the heat.

But the heat didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow anyone down.

Students had been preparing for the 11th Texas Autocross Weekend with an unprecedented passion throughout last week. UTA Formula SAE is a group of car enthusiasts who design and drive race cars that they build themselves.

Formula SAE is a collegiate engineering design competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers.

Moulckers, a mechanical engineering junior, started racing with his father when he was 16. He has been on the UTA Formula SAE team for three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have this hobby, and I would like to make it a lifestyle and even get paid for it,â&#x20AC;? he said.
