THE LITTLE 500 GUIDE

201 1 SPRING SERIES RECAP BY ALEX MCCARTHY alexmcca@indiana.edu

While the Little 500 races this weekend are for the biggest bragging rights, the teams have been competing against each other for weeks leading up to this weekend in the 2011 Spring Series. The best performing men’s and women’s teams across all events win the honor of wearing the white jersey during the actual race. However, this year’s winners, the Cutters for the men and Teter for the women, also have the option of wearing yellow jerseys as the defending champions. QUALIFICATIONS The Spring Series started

with an underdog qualifying first in the men’s competition and a perennial powerhouse taking the pole for the women. The sun had barely risen when the Cutters set the bar at 2:26.46. It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Sigma Nu, the team that finished eighth in the 2010 Little 500 after qualifying 21st, took this year’s pole position with a time of 2:25.91. Delta Gamma, which is paired with Sigma Nu, also qualified first, beating out defending champ Teter by three seconds with a time of 2:44.76. Delta Gamma qualified and finished third in last year’s Little 500 and won the race in 2008.

INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIALS In 2010, the two top finishers in the ITTs were Teter’s Caitlin Van Kooten on the women’s side and Eric Young of the Cutters on the men’s side. The same two riders occupied the top spots in their respective races again in 2011 in a slightly more impressive fashion. Young improved his time by .09 of a second and Van Kooten finished .62 of a second faster than she did in 2010. Both winners had teammates in the top 10 as well: Emma Caughlin of Teter finished ninth and Kevin Depasse of the Cutters was fourth. Top qualifier Delta Gamma had two finishers, Kayce Doogs and Kelsey

2010 RACE IN REVIEW BY ALEX MCCARTHY alexmcca@indiana.edu

In the 2010 Men’s Little 500, weather caused a 50-minute delay and a great deal of frustration for Little 500 officials. For the victorious Cutters, the rain could not possibly dampen their spirits. They became the first team to ever win four consecutive Little 500 championships, bringing their grand total to 11 victories, the most of any team in the race’s 60 years of existence. When the race was delayed, the Cutters were in the lead with more than half the race completed and assumed the victory was theirs. After they had celebrated, they then discovered that 96 laps still stood between them and victory. They finished strong, beating out Phi Delta Theta, which had qualified in sixth and had won the Team Pursuit. A day earlier, the legs of Caitlin Van Kooten and the strategies of coach Chris Woj-

towich had led to a victory for Teter. The women of Teter overcame the curse they had experienced when they qualified for the top spot in 2007, 2008 and 2009 — including a record-breaking run in Quals in 2009 — without winning, and they ended up on top in 2010 after qualifying second.

MISS-N-OUT The top spots in the 2011 Miss-N-Out competition looked similar to those of the ITTs. Van Kooten rolled to victory, as did Young. It was Young’s first Miss-N-Out title, while Van Kooten successfully defended her 2010 victory. Both riders won by significant margins, though for a time, it looked as if the men’s race was going to come down to the final stretch.

TEAM PURSUIT Rain delayed the start of the final event of the Spring Series before the Little 500, but it could not slow down Teter and Delta Tau Delta. The two teams each won the event Saturday, but in different ways. Teter qualified for the finals with a time that was 25 seconds faster than the second-place Delta Gamma team and went on to win the final race by a convincing 10-second margin. Sigma Chi qualified two seconds faster

SPORTS OF RIDERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PAST

Take in every bit of the race You wake up the morning of race day, and it feels like the first day of school. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re anxious, nervous, excited. You know what you are going to wear; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known for weeks. You would be wondering what the other kids are going to wear, except this time you know. You go to school and try to fit in with the other kids. You work with them or ask to sit behind them. You may come away with a few scraped elbows but usually nothing serious. The whole day flies by. The day of the race is like the first day of school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except with a couple of thousand college kids cheering you on. After what seems like hours of class, you put on your IU Student Foundation-issued jersey and head to the track.

Amid the mobs of people, you see your playing field. In 48 hours, IUSF completely transformed the track into the setting for the greatest collegiate bike race on earth, and it is everything you have imagined. Game face on, you get to your pit. The nerves slowly spin away as the stands begin to fill. You go in for your last huddle and choke up as you realize this is it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is the time. Champions will be made. Upsets are certain. In a little more than 60 minutes, it will all be over. Every bit of your blood, sweat and tears comes down to these next 100 laps. All you are waiting to hear are those magical words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mount your Schwinn bicycles.â&#x20AC;?

They wave the green flag. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t time to be scared. There is only time to be fast and alert. The only people you trust more than yourself are the riders in the same jersey color as you and the coach with the dry erase board whose scribes are the most important things you will read. You hope to stay out of wrecks and ahead on yellows. You plan for the worst but expect the best, and those 100 laps fly by. When the dust settles and the trophies are awarded, you reluctantly leave the stadium. You look back and try to take a mental photograph. For seniors it will be the last look, and for those of us lucky to return, the 365-day countdown begins. You have forever been changed for the

better by those last 100 laps. This race is done with work, sacrifice, persistence and most of all, heart. Without heart, the challenge is just too great. It will take years to understand the mark the Little 500 has made on you. Eventually, you will see it in your job, your family, your friends and the stories you can tell. Take in every bit because, after all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60 minutes but feels like 60 seconds, and they are over before you can count them.

The best days of our lives You never forget your first Little 500 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a lifetime of training and months of preparation culminating in what, for many of us riders, will always be remembered as one of the best days of our lives. As you walk around the track, shoulder to shoulder with your teammates itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to not take in the moment and realize the magnitude of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to undertake. You and 131 other riders from 32 other teams battle it out for every inch of 50.98 miles; there truly is nothing like it. Up to this point, the race was just some abstract, faroff concept. In that instance, however, reality strikes you harder than a gusting headwind down the backstretch. Memories of countless hours spent watching race tape come to life in the hopes that you, too, will be able to do something memorable. You walk through turn four, seeing the finish line for the first time and visualize lap 200 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; longing with every fiber in your

body to speed across that narrow, white barrier to victory with arms raised. After the prerace festivities, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show time. The focus is on your strategy, positioning, breathing and the wheel in front of you. People will ask after itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all over if you saw them or heard their cheers, but for upward of two hours the only things you notice are on the track. One split-second lapse and your day is over. Race day is undoubtedly a physical gauntlet, but more grueling is the mental toll it takes on you. The organized chaos that takes place during the Little 500 is impossible to put into words. Thirty-three riders constantly jockeying for position, planning their next attack and trying to anticipate their competitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moves. Ninety-nine other riders, prepared at any second to sprint across the track in the event of a crash, trying to spin their legs and stay relaxed amid all the energy and emotion.

of it all, while the mechanics frantically swap seat posts and check chain tension. With all that can possibly go wrong on race day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing that anyone makes it to the finish line in one piece. But therein lies the beauty of this beast known as the Little 500. No matter what happens, despite all the madness, someone will always have the cards dealt in their favor. Play those cards right, and realize a dream that few will ever know. It is that dream, that one ultimate goal, that gets you out of bed for winter morning rides and pushes you through grueling interval workouts. That same dream drives the thousands of fans every year and will forever keep the spirit and tradition of the Little 500 alive.

Q: WHAT MAKES THE LITTLE 500 BIKES SO SPECIAL? A: THE BIKE THAT IS USED FOR THE LITTLE 500 RACE IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER RACING OR MOUNTAIN BIKE BECAUSE OF ITS VERY BASIC DESIGN. BY MICHAEL NORMAN | mdnorman@indiana.edu

In the beginning of each Little 500 season, each team is issued two bikes from the IU Student Foundation to use throughout training and the competitions. Although the brand of the bike may change from year to year, this year’s Schwinn bikes follow the same single-gear design that has been used in every Little 500.

According to Little 500 Race Director Pam Loebig, the single-gear bike is used to level the playing field for all riders in terms of equipment. “The goal is to provide riders with the exact same equipment and bikes so the race is ultimately decided by the riders on the bike, not the bikes themselves,” Loebig said. “By using a single-gear

bike, riders can’t shift to different gears to get an advantage. The only way you can go faster is by pedaling faster.” While some of the differences between the Little 500 bike and a normal mountain bike are noticeable, here’s a breakdown of some of the things you may have missed about the bikes.

LITTLE 500 BIKE

COURTNEY DECKARD | IDS

MOUNTAIN BIKE

HANDLEBARS Little 500 bikes must use drop-shaped handlebars. The drop bar style is standard in most cycling races and provides a better grip for riders when they choose to stand up on the bike. GRIP While the handlebar grip is provided for each Little 500 bike, each team is allowed to put its own tape on the bikes. Many teams choose to change the color of their grip based on their team colors. RIMS Unlike many modern bikes that use 20 to 24-hole spokes, the Little 500 bike has stuck to the traditional 36-hole spoke rim. While the decision to use the traditional rim is based on keeping the bikes consistent from year to year, the

36-spoke rim provides the bike with more durability, as it must be made of either steel or aluminum. TIRES On race day, one spill could cost a team a chance at the title, which makes the traction from tires crucial. Each Little 500 bike is equipped with tires that are wider and heavier than those on the normal racing or mountain bike. The extra tire width helps give the bikes more traction. FRAMES The frame of the Little 500 bikes is made of aluminum and cannot be altered by the riders. The sturdy aluminum makeup provides the bike with a durability that is needed throughout the season.

BRAKES As opposed to mountain bikes and other bike styles, the Little 500 bike does not utilize hand breaks. Instead, a coaster break — much like the brakes on many childhood bikes — requires the cyclists to pedal backward in order to skid to a stop. The coaster break is useful during exchanges because it allows the rider to stand up and pass the bike off easily. SINGLE GEAR One of the biggest misconceptions of Little 500 bikes is that they have no gears. The truth is the bikes have only one gear. The single-gear bike is used to level the playing field for the competitors. While multi-gear bikes allow the rider to adjust the tension on the chain to go faster, Little 500 cyclists must rely on good old-fashioned leg strength to speed up.

CAROLINE BROWN BY MICHAEL NORMAN mdnorman@indiana.edu If you are looking for Pi Beta Phiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caroline Brown on the track, there are two distinct physical characteristics that set the senior apart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually my helmet is crooked, and I love to wear knee warmers,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. While initially a crooked helmet and knee warmers may help fans find Brown

on race day, the four-year rider has been a staple in the constantly changing Little 500 community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been around long enough to see the riding community change and grow,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My three best female friends all ride for different teams, so I think that speaks volumes about the SEE BROWN, PAGE 11

BY STEPHANIE KUZYDYM skuzydym@indiana.edu Four years ago, Joel Newman wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have dreamed of dressing in a Little 500 kit because four years ago, a tight neoprene suit didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal to him. During his pledgeship in fall 2007, Newman said he remembered hearing the bike team needed fresh talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hell no, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to

be that guy riding around in tights on a bicycle,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Newman said. Not long after, an older brother in the house started talking with the pledge about mountain biking and how much they both really liked the sport. The two decided to go for a ride. At the end of the excursion, the older brother told SEE NEWMAN, PAGE 11

AILEEN OTTENWELLER BY MICHAEL NORMAN mdnorman@indiana.edu While Army Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aileen Ottenweller will only be competing in her second Little 500, teammate Rachel Stark said the juniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership is beyond her years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even last year when she was a rookie, she just came in and had a great presence,â&#x20AC;? Stark said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is really pos-

itive and is really good with all of the rookies this year. She takes them under her wing.â&#x20AC;? Ottenweller, who placed fifth in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Individual Time Trials after finishing 48th last year, said progression from the first to the second year has to do with being more comfortable on the SEE OTTTENWELLER, PAGE 11

ZACH TROGDON BY STEPHANIE KUZYDYM skuzydym@indiana.edu For three years, Gray Goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zach Trogdon has pedaled with the best in the Little 500. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been crammed in a pack with Phi Delta Thetaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Sharp, Phi Gamma Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Ellis and the Cuttersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eric Young. The third-year Goat rider wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

have it any other way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tight-knit community,â&#x20AC;? Trogdon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys are a lot of fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a great time riding Little Five. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change it.â&#x20AC;? At 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, Trogdon has a riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physique.

COLOR CODES THE RACE The women’s race is 100 laps, which is equivalent to 25 miles, while the men’s race is 200 laps, or roughly 50 miles. Both races are held on the quarter-mile cinder track in Bill Armstrong Stadium. Entrants are given one-speed Schwinn bicycles. Teams are made up of as many as four riders. The riders treat the race much like a running relay. When a rider is tired, they exchange the bicycle with a teammate. Any full-time IU undergraduate can ride in the Little 500. PITS Each team will be assigned a pit along the outside of the track according to its qualification position. These pits are approximately 16 feet wide and 6 feet deep. All exchanges and bicycle repairs must be made within these boundaries. An exception is when adjacent teams are exchanging simultaneously; one team may step beyond the restraining line to complete its exchange. Each team is allowed to have a pit crew not exceeding two persons

— one in the pit and one on the infield with the bicycle.

THE LINEUP The order of the starting lineup will be determined by the qualification times. The teams will be grouped into rows of three, starting with the No. 1 pole position team on the inside of the track. All No. 1 riders will be mounted and ready five minutes before the pace lap, after which time no crew member will be allowed on the inside of the track. PENALTIES Teams guilty of violating these rules shall be penalized no more than 20 seconds. This time will be spent in the penalty box located near the starting line. A black flag given to the team shall indicate that a penalty has been imposed. Penalties include: » Impeding another team, including riders and pit crew: 10 to 20 seconds » Failing to observe flags: two seconds » Illegal exchange from bicycle A to bicycle B: two seconds

» Using more than three pits for an exchange: two seconds » Unsportsmanlike conduct, depending on severity: five to 20 seconds CHANGING RIDERS Teams will be allowed to change riders as often as they wish, but they must change a minimum of 10 times in the men’s race and five times in the women’s race. Each bike exchange must begin in front of the pit of the team concerned, and it must be completed by the time the rider taking over has reached the far limits of the next pit on the right. Should the incoming rider fail to start the exchange in front of the correct pit, he or she must continue around for one more lap. If the rider backs up, the team will be subject to penalty. The outgoing rider may use the preceding pit to run and gain momentum for the exchange, but the actual exchange of the bike must take place in the correct pit area.

community and camaraderie surrounding the Little 500.” As Brown has progressed both mentally and physically on the track, success has come. After finishing in second place in the Individual Time Trials last year, Brown took third place in this year’s event and took the runnerup spot in this year’s MissN-Out. Brown said her progression has been due to a better understanding of the sport and her body. “My first years, I just rode as hard as I could all the time,” Brown said. “Since working with different people, I have come to better understand training and how your body responds to physical stress.” Although Brown said the level of dedication for Pi Beta Phi Cycling may have been lacking in the past, she believes this year’s team, which qualified seventh, is different. “This is the first year where Pi Phi Cycling really has a cohesive team that are great friends and are working toward the same goals,” Brown said. “The girls on the team this year are amazing and I would do anything for them.”

Newman to ride for the bike team. “As a pledge, you’re like, ‘OK, yes,’” Newman said. Four weeks ago, Newman jumped around the infield of the track, shouting in celebration at his Sigma Nu brothers, dressed in the neoprene of a Little 500 kit. His team astonished the Little 500 community just seconds before when it pedaled and exchanged its way to a 02:25.91 qualification time to take the pole position from the Cutters. “For people who say the reason we won is because

» TROGDON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 but did not compete in ITTs in 2011. His Gray Goat team qualified 12th this year, with a sixthplace finish in the 2010 race. That 2010 race, through rain and restarts, was a learning experience for Gray Goat, a 4-year-old team. “The rain affected everyone because they cooled down when we had to wait out in the rain for the restart,” Trogdon said. “But it wasn’t the rain as much as it was just fatigue.” Beyond that, all the parts

» OTTENWELLER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 track. “You see a lot of good rookies out here, but once they get that year of experience, they will come back even stronger,” Ottenweller said. “Learning how to be more aggressive on the bike and learning how to handle yourself around other riders is really important, and once you understand what that’s like in Little Five, you can really start to manipulate that on the track. Having the awareness is huge.” Ottenweller said track Trogdon said he’s learned about Little 500 blur together from year to year. “It’s just the comfort level of going along,” he said. “Little 500 is such a unique event. The experience of having 20 to 25,000 people watching a bike race in the U.S. is unheard of.” This year’s race will carry the buzz of the Cutters trying for their fifth-straight title. Trogdon is excited by the prospect of trying to stop them. “It’s fun to compete against the best,” he said. “If you’re not competing against the best, then why are you out there?”

the track is more compact, two top Little 500 teams, Sigma Chi and Phi Psi, went after us and they still were behind Cutters,” Newman said. “It’s not a fluke.” The senior is a three-year captain of Sigma Nu’s team. During his time as captain, Newman and Sigma Nu have finished higher on race day each year — 16th in 2009 and eighth in 2010. Since his freshman year, Newman has ridden the most laps in each race for his team. “I’m blessed to have this experience,” Newman said. “I would not be the person I am today had it not been for the Little 500 and Sigma Nu.” awareness comes with experience and dedication. “Like in any sport, the more you work at something, the stronger you will become in it,” Ottenweller said. As Ottenweller and the Army Women look to capitalize on their third-place qualification, Ottenweller said down the road she will look back at the Little 500 as her fondest memory of college. “To be a part of such a unique and special event that no other college has is special,” she said. “Everyone here loves cycling, so it’s really cool to be in a community that really enjoys the sport.”

HOW IT WORKS

1 RFID tags are placed on riders. The tags are virtually weightless. 2 Riders compete in the race with the RFID tags. 3 A signal is sent out from the RFID tag to a receptor on a pole attached to the start/finish line. 4 The signal is transmitted from the pole into a computer that tracks each rider’s time.

BREAKING DOWN

A RIDER Like diamonds and snowflakes, no Little 500 rider is exactly alike, especially when it comes to equipment. Some wear jackets, leg warmers or arm warmers to fend off the cold. Others may wear their road ID — a bracelet that identifies the rider in case he or she is riding alone on the road and gets in an accident. Some teams wear matching socks or hot pink shoes. All riders, however, wear the basics: helmet, eyewear, gloves, jersey, shorts and shoes. Delta Gamma senior Kelsey Kent, whose coach supplies almost all of the equipment, reveals a bit of her track fashion.

EYEWARE She wears: Oakleys, or whatever she can find Popular brands among riders: Tifosi, Polar Tech Cost: $30-$130

HELMET She wears: Giro Popular brands among riders: Bell, Trek, Giro Cost: Anywhere from $35-$135

GUNNERS: THE IUSF ELVES BY STEPHANIE KUZYDYM skuzydym@indiana.edu

They are the elves of the Little 500. They have many jobs and, some nights, only a few hours to complete them. They are the gunners of Indiana University Student Foundation, and they do everything surrounding race day. For this year’s Qualifications, gunner Andrew Dafnos was in charge of changing the standings on the qualifications board. When the entire board was full, Sigma Chi qualified third. Dafnos had to move down 30 team boards, but he didn’t mind. “I enjoy Little Five, and I enjoy the people I’m working with,” Dafnos said. “I do it because I have a passion for Little Five.”

TOP-10 JOBS OF A GUNNER 1. Timing Qualifications and Individual Time Trials on a stopwatch 2. Putting two bikes and a water cooler in every pit 3. Waving a flag for faults 4. Setting up the parade before the race 5. Gridding and painting the infield 6. Calling in times 7. Running the Qualifications board 8. Running the ITTs board 9. Hanging up pit boards 10. Working as a lap counter on race day

A GIRL OF MANY KITS

77 -

LITTLE 500

When she came to IU in 2005, Pam Loebig was a freshman from Cincinnati. Six years later, Little 500 and other aspects of IU have defined her life in Bloomington. She spent time on Little 500’s Riders Council and as a student coach for Dodds House. She’s been a physiology lab assistant and a molecular biology teaching assistant. Loebig is a Hoosier of many kits. CYCLEDELIC Loebig rode for Cycledelics from 2006 to 2008. During

her first two years, she rode with her older sister, Kim. In 2006, the sisters helped the team to a fifth-place finish, the best finish in Cycledelics’ eight-year history. “Little 500 was my undergraduate experience,” Loebig said. “It molded everything I did. It molded the people I met, the decisions I made, my lifestyle. It became the focal point of my time here at IU.” REDSTEPPER During the fall, Loebig still trained on her bike, but she also high-stepped on

the sidelines of the football games. Loebig was a member of the RedStepper dance squad for two years. Whether it was in front of alumni at Memorial Stadium or at the halftime show of an Indianapolis Colts game, her favorite part was performing as part of a team. “It’s just another way to be a part of IU’s traditions,” Loebig said. RACE DIRECTOR A race director doesn’t have a set term, but the demanding schedule of Little 500 causes most directors to

leave the position after two years. Loebig is in her third year as IUSF’s race director. She coordinates everything from rules to race day with some help from the gunners and steering committee. “I realized how much the Little 500 did for me as a student and as a woman in particular,” Loebig said. “It empowered me. It taught me how to push myself further than I thought I was capable. I wanted to help others be involved and to have these opportunities and experiences on campus. It gave me so much. I wanted to give back.”

GETS REAL

Cyclists’ journey, hard work to become reality show BY MICHAEL NORMAN mdnorman@indiana.edu

“Survivor.” “Jersey Shore.” “Little Five”? While the Little 500 may lack the insect eating and designer haircuts of other great reality shows, Junkdrawer Media and 12th Floor Films are currently working on bringing “College’s Greatest Weekend” to the reality TV show world in “Cycle U: The Little 500.” Mary Beth Anderson, an IU alumna and founder of Junkdrawer Media, said the show is still in the early stages of production, as they will gather interviews and film from this year’s Little 500 to put together a trailer that will be pitched to the TV networks during the summer. Anderson said the Little 500 is the perfect cocktail for great, quality programing. “Little Five is about passion,” Anderson said. “It’s about excitement and being

This is the 50th year that race historian Dr. John J. Greenman, M.D. has compiled and presented the Little 500 statistics. He rode for Dodds House from 1959 to 1962.

competitive but also about being a part of a tradition and in something that’s bigger than who you are. (The audience) will feel the high points and the low points but will be inspired by the race and what it is and how it stands for the love of sports.” Four women’s teams will be chosen as the focus of the show, and the teams will be followed throughout the entire academic year, training and race day. The show will present the challenges riders face while juggling their training, classes and finals, along with the desire to keep their college social life at IU. Anderson said she believes the obstacles Little 500 cyclists face make a story that translates to all walks of life because of the constant challenges that the Little 500 provides, whether physical or mental. “I think when you look at the riders, especially in the women’s race, some of them

have not even been on a bike before,” Anderson said. “It’s about taking a risk and proving to yourself that you can do something that you didn’t think was possible. I have a feeling that most women who go across the finish line on race day feel really good about themselves, and I hope that the viewer will be inspired by these women and entertained by them.” After a year of negotiating, the companies signed a three-year contract with the IU Student Foundation for the exclusive rights to produce a Little 500 reality show. Pam Loebig, an assistant director for the IUSF and Little 500 race director, said IUSF is very excited that the TV show will bring the Little 500 race into the national spotlight while providing a unique opportunity for the riders. Loebig said it is important that the reality show can

debunk some people’s perceptions that the Little 500 is just an excuse to party. “It’s frustrating that we have to constantly deal with that,” Loebig said. “People think Little Five and they think of partying, while we (IUSF) are putting on this bike race to raise scholarship money.” Anderson, who admitted she is biased because she is an alumna, said the show will be able to spotlight athletes who do not fit into the traditional collegiate student-athlete mold that most of the country thinks of. “These cyclists are doing it for the love of their school, for their organization and for the love of biking,” Anderson said. “We think more people need to know that an event like this exists within college life because it is one of the most spectacular collegiate events in the country.”

Revived team aims to bring awareness to GLBT community, build for future

BY MICHAEL NORMAN mdnorman@indiana.edu

Every Little 500 cyclist has his or her own reasons for entering the race. Many cyclists enjoy the competitive edge. Others crave the instant feeling of pride that comes with wearing their team’s jersey in front of a stadium filled with their fans. For Rainbow Cycling, the inspiration to compete in the race stems from more than just personal ambitions. The riders for Rainbow Cycling, which is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services, will be riding for an entire community that has never been represented in the women’s Little 500, a community to which some of the riders do not even belong. Junior Rachel Curley of Rainbow Cycling said although not all of the riders on the team personally identify as a part of the GLBT community, supporting GLBT is about more than just sexual orientation. “I hope (riding in the Little 500) shows the GLBT community that there are students at IU that don’t have to identify with them but are allies and that don’t see any division between straight and gay people,” Curley said. “I hope that it can at least show them that there are people out there that are totally for their cause.” While this will be the first women’s team to compete for Rainbow Cycling, the origin of the team can be traced back to 2006, when the first and only Rainbow Cycling men’s team took the track. THE ORIGINAL

Jason Sinex, now the coach of the women’s Rainbow Cycling team, was a founding member of the 2006 Rainbow Cycling team. Originally, the team had no affiliation with the GLBT community. The name Rainbow Cycling came from an unlikely source. “Our friend, who was from San Francisco, where they have a very strong GLBT community, had these rainbow sandals,” Sinex said. “We put those two things together and he said, ‘Call it Rainbow Cycling.’” At first, the name was a bit of a joke, but when the opportunity came to get involved with GLBT through Doug Bauder, the director of the GLBT Office, the team said they knew it would work.

“Doug and the whole community took us in with open arms and really supported us both financially and by giving us a community that we knew we could ride for,” Sinex said. “It really meant a lot to ride for something outside of ourselves.” While the team placed 27th out of 33 teams, Bauder said its result could be felt around the race track as at least 75 people from the GBLT community cheered on the team from the stands. “As we watched the race, other people seemed respectful, but many seemed surprised that the people wearing the Rainbow Cycling shirts were not all gay students,” Bauder said. “There were families, kids and students. I think since it was the first time that GLBT was represented, it must have impacted people to show that diversity matters, no matter where you are.” RAINBOW CYCLING 2.0 While the women’s team qualified in 30th place out of 33 teams, a men’s Rainbow Cycling team did not qualify for this year’s race. Sinex said although it is unfortunate that they could not have both a men’s and women’s team in the race, he hopes being represented in both races in the future will lead to even more support from the GLBT community. “I thought that if we started the team up again, we wanted to have a girls’ and a guys’ team so that we could get even more people that had never been involved with Little Five involved in it to see how much fun it really is.” As for the team, four out of the team’s five cyclists will also be involved in Little 500 for the first time. Sophomore Torrey Byrd, senior Carrie Coon, junior Stacey Schwarz and Curley are all rookies, while junior Meaghan Reed will be riding in her second Little 500. Byrd, a Bloomington native, said she never thought she would be riding in the Little 500, but said when Sinex presented the chance to ride for Rainbow Cycling, she did not hesitate. “I never even thought about riding in Little Five, so when Jacob asked me to join Rainbow Cycling, I just said yes,” Byrd said. “I didn’t even think about it. I am from Bloomington, so I have always seen and heard about the race and watched ‘Breaking Away,’

so I thought it would be cool to actually be in it, especially riding for a cause.” Reed, who rode for the Collins team “Dynamica” last season, said Rainbow Cycling wants to help promote diversity while standing for what is right. “I would say that Rainbow Cycling stands for gay rights in the Bloomington area and around the world,” Reed said. “For people that are in the closet, hopefully they will see that they have a community of support in the Little 500 and throughout Bloomington, so hopefully that will help them show pride in who they are.” Bauder said the buzz is building within the GLBT community. “It’s exciting because we see this as another first because we have never had a women’s team competing before,” Bauder said. “Throughout our fundraisers, we have been very excited with the amount of volunteers that have stepped up to help organize these events and that there are people giving their time and energy to help out.” Curley said she has felt nothing but positive excitement from the very welcoming GBLT community of Bloomington. “I didn’t even realize that the people that work for the GLBT’s office and the whole community were really this excited about us until we had a potluck dinner,” Curley said. “Everyone was coming up to us like, ‘Thank you for doing this.’” THE POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE...

With all of the negative media attention that covered the suicides of gay and lesbian students during the fall semester, Bauder emphasized

the importance of having a GLBT-sponsored team in the Little 500. “Over the years, my sense is that people look for symbols of acceptance. People look for that something that gives them the feeling that this is a safe place to be,” Bauder said. “What saddens me is IU is a big place and people that could use the GLBT may not even know about us. The story of Rainbow Cycling will help highlight the work of the office, and that’s great news.” With the future in sight, Reed and all of the other cyclists said they view the GLBT community’s involvement in the Little 500 as a sign of progress in the battle for equal rights and hope the Rainbow Cycling team will become a staple in the race. “Who knows if Jacob thought this team would happen in 2011? So hopefully in 2021, our team will still be around,” Reed said. “In general, I think we are a lot more open than we used to be, but I still feel like we have a long, long way to go. Now I look and see that the GLBT is a part of the Little 500, and before, who knew when that day would come? Now it’s here, so we are progressing.” While the impact of this year’s Rainbow Cycling team may never be fully known, Sinex said he hopes the team can provide some inspiration for people within any community to see that it’s okay to be who you are and proud of it. “I would want Rainbow Cycling to be thought of as a team that inspired a community that wasn’t particularly involved in the Little Five and sporting events at IU to join in and be welcomed by the existing Little Five community,” he said. “Both groups can definitely learn from each other and share in this experience.”

MEET THE LITTLE 500â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S YOUNG GUNS

KELSEY THARNSTROM BY MICHAEL NORMAN mdnorman@indiana.edu If you were to find Alpha Chi Omegaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelsey Tharnstrom in the moments before a competition, chances are she would have her iPod handy with the one song that always gets her adrenaline pumping: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember the Nameâ&#x20AC;? by Fort Minor. This year as a rookie, Tharnstrom placed her name near the top of the leaderboard in her first Individual Time Trial by placing seventh overall with a time of 2:48.13. Although Tharnstrom has never raced in a Little 500, she is not alone. Every Alpha Chi Omega rider will be riding in the Little 500 for the first time.

While the team will be able to lean on each other for support, Tharnstrom admitted it could be a little intimidating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We joke that we are the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cool Runningsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team on the track,â&#x20AC;? she said. This year, Tharnstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent may help lead her team past some of the inexperience, but she said she believes that growing together with a team of all rookies can help put them ahead after many other top cyclists graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we can have this same core of girls that stick to it so we can build together and learn from each other,â&#x20AC;? Tharnstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next year, the field of racers will change after all the seniors graduate, so this experience will definitely benefit us.â&#x20AC;?

DAN KINN BY STEPHANIE KUZYDYM skuzydym@indiana.edu Dan Kinn has never seen Little 500 race day. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen tapes, but watching a pack of riders on television and being a part of one on a cinder track are different experiences. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Kinn isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to racing in packs. He missed last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race while he was at the University of Pennsylvania competing for the Hoosiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; track and field team, but he decided being an NCAA athlete wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to IU for IU,â&#x20AC;? Kinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give running a chance. It obviously didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out.â&#x20AC;? The triple major and his roommates,

also former IU runners, wanted to stay active, so they joined a Little 500 team. Kinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older brother is a rider for Phi Psi, but Kinn decided a fraternity wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be part of his IU experience. He joined Black Key Bulls and is the new Little 500 rider who provokes the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that guy?â&#x20AC;? The rookie rider, however, has put his name near the top of the Spring Series standings. He placed 12th in Individual Team Trials and made it to the semifinals of Miss-N-Out, one of only three rookie riders to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I could do well,â&#x20AC;? Kinn said about his ITT finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know I could do as well as I did.â&#x20AC;?

EMMA CAUGHLIN BY MICHAEL NORMAN mdnorman@indiana.edu Life as a rookie on defending champion Teter Cycling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to carry the speakers to listen to music when we go on road rides and have to carry some of our teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff,â&#x20AC;? Emma Caughlin said. While the freshman initiation is all in good fun, Caughlin will be one of the key pieces in Teterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title defense, as she placed ninth in the Individual Time Trials with a time of 2:48.59. Although Caughlin admitted she will be battling her nerves on race day, she said she will be able to carry over the confidence she gained with her

success in ITTs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the biggest things ITTs taught me is to not doubt myself,â&#x20AC;? Caughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I placed in the top 10 that means Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a pretty good rider, so hopefully thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll carry over on race day.â&#x20AC;? For a team that will only lose one senior to graduation after this season, Caughlin said Teter will be strong in the years to come. This year her strategy is to keep it simple and safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to go out and ride the best I can without causing any wrecks or getting into any wrecks,â&#x20AC;? Caughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hold anything back.â&#x20AC;?

MILES JOHNSON BY STEPHANIE KUZYDYM skuzydym@indiana.edu Athletics dominated Miles Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life year-round during high school. In fall, it was soccer. In spring, it was golf. Johnson was good at both, but he knew he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Division I university good. When it came time to choose a college his senior year, Johnson based his pick on a tradition from an in-state university: IUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little 500. The Indianapolis native began riding mountain bikes with his dad. He was 14 when he got his first mountain bike, 18 for his first road bike. At 20, the sophomore biology major

is competing in his first Little 500. Although his Phi Kappa Psi team qualified 17th, Johnson placed 10th in Individual Team Trials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a strong racing background at such a young age really provides me with an advantage over others who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as much racing experience,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. Although he has yet to experience the race of the Greatest College Weekend, Johnson picked up tips from last yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top Phi Psi riders, Dan Brown and Adam Mercer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned Little 500 is all about saving energy,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be as lazy as I can be and not lead so I can position myself to go all out.â&#x20AC;?

The greatest college week of all time. Where a campus of 40,000+ students celebrate a seemingly ordinary bike race by engaging in a week of mindblowing, wasted-beyondyour-wildest-dreams, non-stop parties. Where class shuts down and drunken students stumble from bar to bar, frat to frat, street to street, drinking everything in sight and no amount of alcohol poisoning can stop them. Where it is more than acceptable to start drinking the moment you awake, and Slip ‘n’ Slides, mud wrestling, beer pong, live bands, and power hours are a daily occurrence. The greatest college week in America.

No. of Qualiﬁcations

Before the Indianapolis 500 had headsets, the pit crews had to find a way to communicate with their drivers, so they used signals. In the Little 500, headsets aren’t allowed. With 20,000 roaring fans, coaches have to find a quick way to relay information to their cyclists, so they use whiteboards. We compiled our favorites from the past races. Teter’s coach, Chris Wojtowich, gives his riders coded messages that change every year. During last year’s race, one of Teter’s codes was 219. Inside the code, the rider knew what lap she was on and how many laps were left before an exchange. Wojtowich tries to keep the codes

simple so his riders don’t get one message confused with another. “On the video of last year’s race, one of the announcers said to another announcer, ‘Hey Jason, what does 219 mean? I’ve seen that on Teter’s board,’” Wojtowich recalled. “Jason said, ‘I have no idea what Woj is talking about half the time.’” Theta Chi’s coach Chuck Taylor has a totally different whiteboard style. Taylor said there’s no need for code. But there is a need for more than one colored dry erase marker. “I get a little creative with it,” Taylor said. “I might draw a happy face on the board or a thumbs up. Sometimes I write the guy’s girlfriend’s name on there. Give them a laugh and make them feel better and maybe they can get me another lap or two.”

TickeTs To Friday’s game sold ouT By Gwendolyn Tinajero Reporter

The NCAA basketball game on Friday sold out long before game time. Jennifer Cook, assistant director of Hulman Center, said that ISU was allotted 550 tickets for both lower and upper-lever seating. ISU had the option of ordering more, but Quicken Loans Arena sold out before ISU had the opportunity to buy more. Last Tuesday, Cook called the Quicken Loans Arena and they had 300 tickets. Cook called again on Sunday, after the selection party, but the

Quicken Loans Arena was sold out. Quicken Loans Arena has a capacity of 20,562 and the Hulman Center has a capacity of 10,200. In the last NCAA championship that ISU participated in, the facility did not sell out as quickly. Season ticket holders had the chance to place their orders on Monday by 2 p.m. Tuesday, the general public could place orders either by visiting the Hulman Center or calling. The Hulman Center sold their tickets for $79. “At first we realized that there were no tickets available to students,” said Student Government Association (SGA) Vice Presdient Jaden Brown,

a senior P.E. and health education major. Therefore, SGA the decided to buy 18 tickets online, but only bought 16 tickets for $125 each. Later they got in contact with Cook and got an additional 24 tickets from Hulman Center. After the Selection Sunday viewing party, Brown advertised the chance for students to purchase tickets through SGA on Facebook and Twitter. Brown got numerous amounts of responses from students who wanted to go. The SGA decided to give a preference to the “die hard fans” because it would only be fair to them since

they have been going to every game. Brown said these fans are recognizable because they attend every game. “As of right now, we have four tickets, but they are going to be gone [Thursday evening],” Brown said. SGA sold the tickets for $95. They decided to take a $30 loss and give students a chance to go to the game. Students who bought their tickets through SGA picked up their tickets today, but those that bought them from Hulman Center can pick them up at Quicken Loans Arena box office. Brown said that there are at least 40 students guaranteed to be at the game tomorrow.

INDIANA STATESMAN &

WITH JUNIOR MARKETING MAJOR RYAN MCCOY, A SYRACUSE FAN ROOTING FOR ISU

he Indiana Statesman recently talked with Ryan McCoy, a junior marketing major who is a lifelong fan of Syracuse. However, this year he is rooting for ISU. Statesman: Why did you Indiana Statesman Q become a fan of Syracuse?

A Ryan McCoy: Well [...] I started watching basketball when I was younger, and I’ve always watched Syracuse, and I always liked their play style and their tempo, and there was just something I liked about them, so I watch them.

THE BIG DANCE

INDIANA STATESMAN FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2011 DESIGN: HAROLD BOSSTICK

IS: Why are you supporting ISU this year? RM: Well, my reason being, I mean, even though I’m a Syracuse fan, I attended every ISU game that I can here at home. I’ve always been an ISU fan, and I know how great an opportunity this is for our team, and ISU only has a number of entries into the NCAA tournament, and I want them to make the best of it now. Syracuse will probably have other years. IS: How do you think you’ll feel if ISU loses today? RM: If ISU loses [today], I’ll still be pretty pumped. I was thinking about that yesterday. The pain won’t be as bad, I guess if they lost to another 3 seeded team other than Syracuse. At least I’ve still got something still to look forward to in the tournament, so I’d still be really pumped. IS: What if Syracuse loses? RM: If Syracuse loses tomorrow, I probably won’t even think twice about it. I’ll just be so thrilled kinda for ISU and our basketball team. You know, there’s always next year for Syracuse.

The Big Dance 6 Promotions help boost student attendance at games IndIana StateSman FrIday, march 18, 2011 deSIgn: harold BoSStIck

By Caitlin Martin Editor in chief

Editor’s Note: This article originally ran in the March 2 MVC Tournament tab. Student attendance at Sycamore men’s games may have dropped since Jan. 19’s Black Out against Missouri State, but student spirit and involvement continues to be on the rise at Hulman Center, a situation Student Government Association Vice President Jaden Brown attributes to promotions and themes. Brown, who has coordinated game themes with ISU Director of New Media Megan McKenna, said the Black Out was the most successful theme in terms of both student turnout and overall involvement.

Overall attendance for the Sycamores’ 70-69 win over the Bears was 7,230, the highest of any ISU home game with the exception of the soldout Fan Appreciation Day. Of the 7,230, Ace Hunt, director of media relations for athletics, said 2,251 of them were students. That figure amounts to about 35 percent of the game’s overall attendance. Student attendance dropped steadily through the remainder of the season until Saturday’s Senior Day game against Southern Illinois. Brown said the Black Out was the most successful because it was easy for the students and community to participate. “When you do theme games, for the most part, students would go out

and purchase stuff to wear,” he said. “With the Black Out it was easy for every student and community member to find a black shirt to wear.” The “redneck” theme for Jan. 26’s game against the Evansville Purple Aces was the most fun, Brown said. “The students came out in full force with their flannel, jeans, cowboy hats, cut off shirts, etc.,” Brown said. “You could tell the students were enjoying the theme by the way they were socializing and just having fun together.” Attendance for the game against University of Evansville was 5,579, of which 1,416—or about 25 percent— were students, Hunt said. Saturday’s Senior Day game garnered the highest student attendance of all the themed Saturday games since the Black Out. The Superhero-

themed game drew 701 students, compared to the 478 students at Feb. 19’s game against Morehead State. Feb. 12’s game against Drake, which was also Fan Appreciation Day and coincided with Sycamore Hoopla, had 634 students in attendance. On average, attendance at home games for men’s basketball is up approximately 1,000 fans since last season. This year, an average of 5,602 individuals have visited Hulman Center each game. The rise in attendance and themes has had an affect on the team. “The fans have been terrific, and we only hope that it continues,” men’s head basketball coach Greg Lansing said. “I think any time you can generate excitement and something interesting for games it can only help.”

Consignment Stores More Than Everyday Wear By Hanna Johansen, Daily Staff Writer

Consignment stores are a great place to get fashionable clothing at an affordable price. With a wide variety of sizes and selections, it is easy to find the perfect piece to complete an outfit. Consignment stores are not only a great place to find casual wear, but to access clothing for special occasions and costume wear.

occasion, but it can also put a dent in your wallet quickly if you aren’t careful. Between makeup, attire, wigs, masks, shoes, etc., your bill is likely to scare you if you aren’t budget conscious.

Business attire

“Getting your costume at a consignment shop will ensure that your outfit is unique, because no one else will have it,” said Jenny Stites, employee of Random Goods.

Business recruiters expect applicants to bring their A-game to interviews. This includes attire, even if you are on a college student’s budget. A quick fix to this obstacle is to shop at consignment locations.

Random Goods is a great new consignment shop in Ames located in Campus Town that has tons of costume selections.

Special occasions

Have a wedding or formal you need a dress for, but don’t want to throw down the cash? The Loft is a great place to check if you are in search of a fancy dress or nice pants.

“When you are first getting started in the workforce, perusing consignment stores is a great way to get quality brands in like-new condition without having to pay top dollar,” said Katherine Kerns of Miss Meyer’s.

“The Loft takes great care selecting items. We check for snags, rips, working zippers, the works, so the formal wear we carry is in excellent condition,” said Tiffany Walker, manager of The Loft.

“Consignment shops are a great way to get pieces when you are just getting started in the workforce and don’t have a lot of money to spend, but still want that professional look,” Kerns said.

London Underground 212 Main St., Ames

A red telephone booth shipped from Boston adds an electrical focal point for photos and romantic kisses.

Jess Clyde’s bar, London Underground, has been his passion since a trip overseas helped him realize what he wanted to do with his life - bring an English Pub to the city he loves.

Test your skills on our pinball machines!

The bar is clean, the bartenders intelligent and the conversation stimulating. The warm wooded interior, red phone booth, and signature banners provide London Underground with a feel of English authenticity. A great selection of import beer and mid to high range liquor keeps a steady stream of loyal customers coming in all week. For those seeking entertainment, the bar is known for its heated foosball matches, pinball machines and sizeable jukebox selection. And yet, the bar’s strongest asset may be the eclectic mix of patrons and lively conversations the bar attracts. London Underground originally opened without a sign and quickly drew in a crowd as unique as its black facade and bright red door. Clyde, an Ames native, wanted to bring people from all walks of life together in the spirit of a true tavern. He intentionally left televisions out of the pub with the idea that conversations and one-of-a-kindexperiences would be facilitated with fewer distractions. “A bar is only as good as the people that come to it,” Clyde said. Assuming that is true, London Underground is a stimulating English drinking establishment for people of all walks of life. Cheers!

London Underground carries over 75 import and craft beers, with a rotating selection, and a “Beer of the Month.”

Make it a night she’ll never forget!

WHOOPS

first date

horror

stories

I went on a first date with a guy and he took me to “Marley and Me.” I was completely oblivious to what happened in the end and thought it was just an anecdotal story about a man and his dog. But when it came to have Marley put down (having just put my family dog/best friend down a year prior), I did this ugly, full-body sob. He never called or texted me back again. :/

My boyfriend and I were going on our first date at a local snowboarding place. I had never snowboarded before and he thought it would be fun to spend the day on the slopes and teach me how to snowboard. We spent the first part of the day on the “bunny hill” and after a few hours, I was ready for the big slopes. We went down those a few times, and being a young, stupid teenager, I decided I would try and show off and go down a jump. Before my boyfriend could stop me, I was speeding down the mountain. I hit the 6-foot jump full speed and did a half back flip in the air. I came crashing to the ground. My boyfriend came rushing over and flagged down the medics ... I ended up breaking my shoulder.

Themed Parties shake up your social life By Laura Bucklin, Daily Staff Writer

Dollar party – Everyone comes to the party with a dollar. Partygoers can dare others to do something crazy to win their dollar. By the end of the night, you can win quite a bit of money. It’s basically a big night of truth or dare ... minus the truth.

Beach party – Put the

WTF party – Wear the craziest thing you can find. The goal of this party is to have people yell “What the F**k” when you walk into the door. No-service party – No shoes, no shirt, no service, therefore, partygoers can’t wear shoes or a shirt. This is their chance to get creative with their wardrobe.

Stoplight party – At this party, single people wear green, people wearing yellow are “it’s complicated,” and red are taken. Maybe by the end of the night these colors will need to be changed. Walk-of-shame party – Come looking like you do when you’re doing the walk of shame. Those who actually do the “walk of shame” the next day will look that much better. It-used-to-be-cool party – Wear anything retro. Time to dig out the fannypack!

Rubix Cube party – Come to the party wearing a bunch of colors. Ideally, you’ll want colors that are on a Rubix Cube (red, orange, white, blue, green and yellow). Throughout the night, switch clothes with friends. By the end of the night, you should be wearing one color. Kegs and eggs – Wear your pajamas and stay up until you’re ready to have breakfast. It’s perfect because you’re ready to pass out after.

CHALLENGES In Ames

By Laura Bucklin, Daily Staff Writer

Love’s Labor’s Lost Nov. 4-13

A Christmas Carol Dec. 2-11

— Wing Challenges —

Chekhov Short Stories Feb. 9-12

To Kill A Mockingbird Feb. 24- March 4

Stars Over Veishea: Rent April 13-22

Ames offers wing challenges for lovers of all things buffalo. Since its opening in March, Buffalo Wild Wings has already had approximately 70 people complete its Blazin’ Challenge. Participants have six minutes to eat 12 “Blazin” wings, which is Buffalo Wild Wings’ hottest sauce. “About 75 percent [of the] people who try it complete it,” said Bryant Arns, general manager at Buffalo Wild Wings in Ames. Participants are not allowed to drink anything or use dipping sauce. Winners get their picture up on a digital loop within the store, and they win a T-shirt. “The record here is 12 wings in 36 seconds,” Arns said. “I witnessed it with my own eyes. It was crazy.” West Cyde Wings also has a wing challenge called the Inferno Challenge. Participants get 10 minutes and one glass of water to eat 20 of West Cyde Wings’ “inferno” wings, which are the hottest they offer. Winners get their picture up on the wall. “We like to think they’re the hottest wings around, because we have some ghost chiles,” said Mike Anderson, a manager of West Cyde Wings. “I haven’t seen anyone do [the challenge] without sweating.”

— Margarita Challenges —

For more information visit www.theatre.iastate.edu, e-mail isutheatre@iastate.edu, or call (515) 294-2624 Funded by GSB

There are also a few margarita challenges throughout the Ames community. La Fuente has its margarita challenge on Fridays and Saturdays each week. Participants have to drink two monster margaritas, and if they finish them they get a free T-shirt. “We’ve been doing this for 15 years here and we’ve had a great time doing it,” said Benita Tilli, manager at La Fuente, “We’re just a family restaurant that is a fun place to be.”

El Patron offers a similar challenge. Participants have to finish two 48 oz. margaritas any day of the week. Winners get a free T-shirt and can use their win toward one punch on their El Patron drink punch card. Both restaurants offer you as much time as you’d like to finish the margaritas, but you can’t share. “It’s fun and people like it,” said Martin Morales, owner of El Patron. “It’s funny, because girls always finish their drinks before boys.” So now, boys have two challenges — to finish the margaritas at La Fuente and El Patron, and to beat the girls doing it. Good luck.

— Old Chicago’s World Beer Tour —

Arrive in Style.

Beer lovers are in for a treat, because Old Chicago offers the challenge of all challenges — the Old Chicago World Beer Tour. The World Beer Tour is not only a challenge in itself, but it’s also an awesome loyalty and rewards program. Why not be rewarded for drinking a lot of beer? The goal of the World Beer Tour is to drink 110 different beers. Those who complete the tour get a nice gray sweatshirt, their name in the “Hall of Foam,” other prizes and rewards throughout the process and bragging rights. “The World Beer Tour promotes what Old Chicago is all about, which is variety,” said Corey Kewatt, general manager of Ames’ Old Chicago. “We believe people order the same drinks at other restaurants because it’s convenient. Coming here is the opposite. People come here to try something new.”

“A guy from Colorado finished his 200th tour, and he was a huge Cubs fan, so Old Chicago flew him to the Cubs’ training,” Kewatt said. “And he got to throw the first pitch at one of their games.” Therefore, if you like beer, variety and prizes, then Old Chicago’s World Beer Tour is the challenge for you. Visit the Ames Old Chicago or its website for more details on the tour. “If you’re going to go somewhere to drink beer, you might as well have fun with it,” Kewatt said.

Participants are given an electronic World Beer Tour card that tracks every beer they drink at any Old Chicago location. The tour doesn’t stop after the 110th beer, though. The more tours you do, the more rewards and prizes you get. For example, after someone is done with his or her 10th tour, Old Chicago gives you a 25 oz. pewter mug with his or her name engraved on it. They also keep it at the restaurant so it’s ready every time you come in.

...not that!

It’s finally Friday (cue Rebecca Black) and you are ready to enjoy the weekend. Maybe you are going to hit up happy hour or just sit back at home and mix up your favorite cocktail. Regardless of where you plan to spend your evening, danger lurks ahead.

Alcoholic beverages can do serious damage to your diet. Not only do consumers often forget how many calories are in the drinks they are slurping down, drinking can also lead to binge eating due to a drop in blood sugar levels and loss of self control. Don’t let this diet disaster put a damper on your evening. With some careful planning, you can still enjoy your night without exceeding your calorie intake for the entire weekend.

BEER Other than Trailer Choir, there aren’t many supporters of those who “rock the beer gut.” This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a few cold brews with friends. It just means individuals who choose to indulge in this beverage need to be more conscious of how much, and of what, beer they decide to guzzle. “There are a few good low-calorie beers on the market,” said Rarvinder Singh of AJ’s Market. “Most of the girls around here tend to purchase MGD 64 or Miller Select 55,” Singh said.

drink this... With only 64 calories per 12 ounces, MGD Light is the lowest light beer on the market. Pabst Extra Light Low is another good choice when trying to keep calories count low with only 67 calories per 12 ounces.

...not that Dark beers such as Anchor Porter, with 209 calories per 12 ounces, and McEwans Scottish Ale, with an astounding 295 calories per 12 ounces, should be avoided.

WINE Many health specialists and wine connoisseurs believe

that a glass or two of wine a day is actually good for your health. Just remember, too much of one thing is never a good thing, and wine can still lead to weight gain. One problem with wine is that many countries do not require manufacturers to disclose health information, so counting calories in wine can be tricky. One way to determine the amount of calories is to check the alcohol content, which is listed on the label. It’s safe to presume that the higher the alcohol content, the more calories present.

drink this... Light wines such as white zinfandels are always a good choice, most with only 80 calories per 4-ounce glass. Chablis and chardonnay are also good options, both with around 90 calories per 4-ounce glass. ...not that Wines to avoid while being calorie-conscious are sweet dessert wines. With around 185 calories per 4-ounce glass, wines such as Ports are the highest in calories.

LIQUOR & MIXED DRINKS As with wines, most liquor bottles do not list health information, so determining the calorie count is also determined by examining the alcohol content. An average ounce of brandy, whiskey or vodka with 50 percent alcohol contains around 82 calories. Now this isn’t so bad, but when you start mixing liquors and adding other ingredients, the calorie count begins to soar. A recent launch of low calorie or “skinny” liquors and premixed drinks have become popular with those watching their figure. New products include Chi Chi’s Skinny Margarita, 95 calories per 4 ounces, and Firefly’s Skinny Tea Vodka, only 72 calories per 1.5 fluid ounces, are both good options. Both these new items use the same recipes as the originals, but substitute sugar for natural sweeteners such as agave nectar and Truvia, which is made from a naturally sweet herb.

drink this... If none of the options above seem enticing, simple drinks that require low calorie mixers such as vodka cranberries or screwdrivers, vodka and orange juice, are great go-to drinks.

...not that Cocktails that combine multiple liquors or use sweet liqueurs should be avoided. A 10-ounce Long Island Iced Tea will cost you a whopping 543 calories of your daily total, which is a few calories more than a McDonald’s Big Mac® sandwich.

Gift-giving guide for women: helpful tips to finding the perfect present

Lindsay Beardall The holidays hit like a tornado and there’s always the challenge of picking out the perfect gift for those near and dear. A monumental task is the “What should I get her?” question guys always need the answer to. As for why this task is difficult for men, “There are many reasons,” said Tim Gardener, resident of Independence, Mo. and Sales Associate of Macy’s. “We worry. Is it too cheesy? Will her friends make fun of it? And of course there is price: is it too cheap?” However, gifts for women do not need to be expensive or extravagant. In fact, it seems that the more thoughtful the gift is, the more impressive. “I love getting flowers randomly from my husband. It means that he randomly thinks of me,” said Shandi Hayhurst, manager of Loan Max in Manhattan. As a woman who has received terrible gifts on holidays or birthdays, I’m going to give you some ideas, men of K-State. Manicure/pedicure/spa gift card: Almost every girl will appreciate this. It’s relaxing and fun. However, it can be expensive so we don’t often treat ourselves and it is sweet when you think we deserve it and give it as a gift. Gift cards for clothing, handbags, or jewlery: The old standby. If it seems too impersonal, write a note inside the card and say it reminded

you of something specific she mentioned like a new pair of jeans or top. It shows that you listen and care about what she needs which makes you look awesome. CD of her favorite band or concert tickets: My friend made me a CD of songs that he thought I would like and even made a cover for it. Inexpensive and made me feel like he took the time to make me something special. This also works if you know a specific band she likes, you can order a t-shirt or poster online from its website. Concert tickets are also a great gift. A movie or season of a show you’ve seen together: Maybe you remember the first movie you saw together or one of her favorites. Either way, you’ve already put thought into this gift, which is great. If not, you can get her a season or poster of her favorite TV show. Body Lotion and/or Perfume: Check out her bathroom and find out what scents she likes. You can’t go wrong with lotion or good smelling things when it comes to the ladies. Bath & Body Works is a good place to start. Framed pictures: Completely underrated. Framing pictures of the two of you or family members is always appropriate and thoughtful. Snapfish.com has a way to create a scrapbook online and have it put together and shipped to you. Also, it means you, as a man, don’t have to touch a piece of scrapbooking paper or stickers with cutesy sayings on them. Bake her something: I know this sounds out of a man’s element but there are really simple things that can be made like pretzels dipped in chocolate or melting chocolate and sticking pieces of peppermint in it

Lauren Gocken | Collegian

Turquoise jewelry is trendy gift to give to that special lady you know. to make bark. You cannot go wrong with chocolate. A giftcard for Eyes Lips Face or elf.com: Instead of picking out her favorite eye shadow as electrifying green, let her decide from a variety of well priced products online. Electronics: Ipads, Kindles, iPods and other products are always a good choice for the she-reader or tech savvy chick. The book “Porn for Women:” If you know a married or older

woman (with a good sense of humor) in your life in need of a present this holiday season, this book is perfect. The pages are filled with gorgeous men doing household chores. Steer clear of guessing which jewelry, clothing or handbags you think she might like. It’s not worth the hassle of having to take the gift and receipt back to the store and pick out something else. When women’s fashion is concerned, there are

varying tastes that make individual styles hard to predict. However, guys, you’re not alone in your struggle this holiday season. Women have a difficult time picking out gifts, too. “I guess it’s kind of hard to buy a present for anyone. I can never figure out what they want or if they already have something,” said Emma Faulkner, junior in animal science. Don’t be afraid to ask her

friends about gifts ideas, they are a valuable database for her likes and dislikes. Put effort into your gift. Anything that proves it was thought about for more than 10 minutes is a home run in our book. So get to holiday shopping and/or making your gifts without fear.

Gift-giving guide for men: hints that assist in finding a great holiday goodie the most troubling holiday gift problem of all: What do you give the person whom you know or love the most? How many times have you wondered what to give to your best friend? How about the number of times a friend has come to you in distress, asking what they should get for their boyfriend or girlfriend? This seems like the hardest problem to overcome in the holiday time. As corny as it seems, guys appreciate simple, cheap and homemade gifts more than anything you could break the bank for. “My girlfriend loves to make things,” said PT Mahoney, senior at Belton High School and resident of Belton, Mo. “Gifts like that are the best, and neither of us have to spend any money.” When the holidays roll around this year, keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be a master at getting the best gifts for the special men in your life.

Darrington Clark staff writer When the holidays roll around at the end of another year, men find themselves in a fairly common problem: what gift they should get the girl in their life. Whether it’s a girlfriend, sister, mother, or good friend, guys will ask the opinion of everyone they know to get a good idea. Getting the perfect gift for your girl is notorious for being tough, but we usually forget that the ladies have it just as rough. Guys always go back to the perfume, roses or even jewelry if we can’t find something very creative. What, however, can you default to if you’re shopping for a guy? Finding the best gifts for the man in your life might seem a challenge, but having a bit of valuable knowledge can make the task a breeze. Ladies shopping for men will find themselves facing three common problems. The most troubling problem of the three is shopping for the man who already has everything. When your brother already has the latest phone, or your beau already sporting the flashiest watch, what else is left? Contrary to typical beliefs about guys’ preferences, everyday items are actually welcome. “Clothing accessories like scarves, watches, belts or wallets would make for a good gift,” said Austin Strassle, senior at Ruskin High School and resident of Kansas City, Mo. “And every man needs a good razor set.” Clothing makes for a great holiday gift for the guy who has it all for many reasons. Nobody has all of the latest clothes and accessories, so there’s a good chance

Lauren Gocken | Collegian

Solid-color, rubber-banded watches are a good gift for the hip man in your life. you’ll surprise him with something new. More functional gifts are also better choices due to their cost effective nature. Grabbing a razor set or a new belt is much easier on the wallet than trying to gift something fancy. Even this strategy may not be enough to conquer the next guy gift problem: How do you shop for a man whose interests are different than yours? Say your best guy friend is a mechanic, or your man is really into video games.

Sometimes it’s hazardous to take a guess at what he may like. People who find themselves in this precarious predicament are better off appealing to their guy’s sense of interest, rather than the interest itself. “I like books, I like learning about things that interest me,” said Brendon Dale, resident of Raytown, Mo. “Sometimes somebody will try to get me a tool and I either can’t use it or I have a million of them. Just being able to learn more makes it a

great gift for me.” Guys who have specific interests will also go for gifts that are more spontaneous than others. “Not many people think about it, but I love to get things that I can put around my house, like pictures and things,” Dale said. Even if you can overcome the obstacle of gift-getting for the guy who has it all, and finding an off-the-wall gift for your off-the-wall guy, there’s still

Homemade presents share creativity, give meaning to gift-giving during holidays Kelly Mchugh When it comes to handmade gifts, there are plenty of ideas ready to be tried. There are many ways to be crafty, whether it’s sewing, knitting, watercoloring or scrapbooking. With the Internet and its resources for handmade gift ideas, one does not have to be artsy to give a good homemade gift. Not only are handmade gifts a unique way to express how much you care about someone, it also keeps you from breaking the bank this holiday season. The measure of the time and thought put into a homemade gift cannot be bought at any store. With numerous search engines on the Internet, all you have to do is type “crafting” and a cornucopia of websites offering ideas and advice are at your service.

While, of course, there are homemade gifts that could cost just as much to make as they would at the store, by using ideas and websites offered online, there are plenty of ways to save on needed craft items. If looking for things like frames or jars, dollar stores offer a great variety for a great price. If you are going for a rustic looking craft, secondhand shops are a handy place to start. Melanie Simpson, owner of Front Porch Quilt Shop in Ozark, Ala., spent Black Friday in her store selling her many vibrant fabrics to customers looking to start new projects. As Simpson leaned on her store’s large, worn fabric cutting board, she said that she has seen a growth this year in people who are looking to make handcrafted gifts. “People are getting more and more into wanting to do hand made things so that they can give something that’s unique and share a part of their creativity with someone else,” Simpson said. Simpson also said many people come in to the quilt shop and share their gift ideas. A mother and daughter were in

the store looking for fabric to make quilts for their friends for the holidays. A young woman searched through the green fabric to find the perfect shade to make a purse for her best friend. According to Simpson, using the Internet to search for creative projects and ideas has been a help to the growth of handmade gifting. “Sharing your ideas and your creativity just spurs more ideas and people are able to feed off of each other,” Simpson said. Pinterest, a new craze among social-networkers, is one of many ways to find fun, cute and easy crafting ideas to give as gifts. ‘Pinners’ can find crafts from various websites and ‘pin’ them onto their boards. Most crafts show a picture of the item and, when you click on the link, offer directions to follow to make it. From spray-painting mason jars to making homemade jewelry out of every-day items, it has tons of unique ideas to fulfill your holiday giftgiving abilities. Through people’s ‘Do It Yourself ’ and Craft pins on Pinterest there are an uncountable amount of crafts with

Holidays are a time to donate to charities, help community

Holly Grannis The holiday season is a time of gifting and giving - not only to your family and friends, but also to the people in your community who do not always have food on the table or a warm jacket for winter. It is rewarding for both the giver and the receiver to participate in the spirit of generosity. There are several ways to help people and organizations in the Manhattan community during the holiday season. Not having a winter coat could be grueling during the winter months. The United Way of Riley County is hosting a Winter Warm-Up Coat Drive, a charity where you can donate your unused winter coats to the families who cannot afford to buy their own. Donating unused winter-wear is easy and more helpful than you think. The last day to donate a coat is Nov. 30. Go to unitedwayrc.org for more information. K-State’s annual United Way

making levels from simple to difficult waiting to be made and given as gifts. You could spend hours searching through the ideas and, most likely, will find something cool to make for almost everyone on your gift-giving list. When you make a specific gift for someone you are forced to think about them; if their favorite color is blue, you are not going to use pink ribbons and if you are making a decoration for their country-style living room, you would not make something too metro looking. A homemade gift is a gift that says, “I care enough about you and your taste that I took the time to think about it.” Time is money these days, and spending time on someone is a great way to show you really care. “I would love for someone to make something handmade and give it to me for Christmas,” Simpson said. “Because I can appreciate all the hard work that goes into them.” Kelly McHugh is a junior in journalism and digital media.

campaign is ongoing through Dec. 9. The goal of the campaign is to raise $200,000 to support education, income and health programs in Manhattan. Any amount of donation is accepted. More information about the campaign can be found on the K-State website. The Flinthills Breadbasket in Manhattan has a holiday program called “Adopt a Family” where you can donate warm clothes and necessary household items to families in need. Also, a community fundraiser called the Mayor’s Holiday Food and Fund Drive provides breadbaskets and necessities for families who do not have enough food to feed their family. Both Flinthills Breadbasket events are ongoing through November and December. Go to breadbasket.manhattanks. org for more information. Out of the kindness of your heart, take time to donate money, food or clothes to any organization or person in need during the holidays. It is a privilege to have all the required necessities in life therefore it is our obligation to share with people who are not as lucky.

Christmas gift wrapping made easy in simple 7-step process

4. 5.

Take the little triangles and fold them flat against the box. The remaining flap of paper that isn’t pressed against the box will be a trapezoid.

STEP

1. Before you begin wrapping, you should assemble all your wrapping gear. The essentials for a simple and attractively wrapped present are: wrapping paper, tissue paper, ribbons, a gift box, to/from tags, scissors and tape. Black Friday and the day after Christmas are great times to get wrapping supplies because they are usually 25-50 percent off.

STEP

Lauren Gocken photo editor

Fold the rough edge of the trapezoid to make a straight, smooth edge and fold the whole thing flat against the box. Tape both sides to the box. Do these steps for both sides of the box. And the wrapping is done.

STEP

2. Wrap the gift in tissue paper and settle it in the box. You can use gift boxes to hold shirts and sweaters, as well as DVDs, video games and jewelry.

STEP

Now you can turn the box right side up. Cut at least a yard of ribbon, you can combine two or more strands to give the ribbon around the box a thicker look. Try to tie the ribbons into two knots— the kind you use to tie your shoe. For this step it’s helpful to have a friend around to put their finger on the first knot while you tighten the second knot, otherwise the first knot tends to slip loose. The knots should make the ribbon tight against the box. Open your scissors as wide as they open and hold them in your hand, blades facing out. Hold a piece of ribbon against the blade with your thumb, with the non-shiny side on the blade. Now move the scissors swiftly up to curl the ribbon. Applying even pressure and not moving your thumb will prevent you from cutting yourself. Keep tying on ribbons around the original knot to make the curls as big as you want.

Lay your sheet of wrapping paper out. After you secure the top of the gift box with tape, flip it over on the wrapping paper. Tape one side of the wrapping paper on the box, then fold the jagged edge of the remaining side of paper and tape it to the box; fold the paper under so all you see is a smooth line. Fold the ends down flat against the side of the box so that little triangles are formed at the ends. You may need to trim a bit off the end so that the paper stops at the edge of the box.

Add your gift tags, whether it be a sticker, a tag, or a card and you’re done.

DAVID W. BURCHAM

FIFTEENTH PRESIDENT LOYOLA MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY

FIRST-PERSON FEATURE

Senior Editor José Martinez takes an inside look at a day in the life of LMU President David W. Burcham. By José Martinez Senior Editor

Two and a half hours of University President David W. Burcham’s time – or any university president’s time, probably – is a tall order. But Burcham’s not any university president. Even though his typical day begins at 4:30 a.m. and ends when he gets home from whatever evening event he needs to attend on a given day, I find my request to conduct a long interview with him for the Loyolan’s special inauguration edition approved. And that’s how it’s always been with Burcham. He doesn’t have the time – so he makes it. For him, that’s one of the best parts of the job, and the University: connecting with people. “Every day that I get myself out of the office talking to faculty, students or staff,” he said, “I think cumulatively, those have been such interactions that people ask me, ‘What’s the best thing about the University,’ and I don’t say the view. I don’t say the new library. I don’t say we look like one of the 10 most beautiful campuses. I always say the people. That’s to me what makes it so special.” Without a doubt, that’s why Burcham takes his job so seriously.

Getting to know David Burcham by Senior Editor José Martinez Journey to the presidency

A day in the life of a university president The general consensus of LMU’s students is that 8 a.m. classes are not ideal, but after a look at President David Burcham’s schedule, those early class times start to look a little more attractive. Burcham generally wakes up at 4:30 a.m., has a coffee and a bagel, and leaves by 5:30 a.m. for a 30-minute commute from Long Beach to LMU. He gets to work by 6 a.m. – “sometimes as late as 6:30,” Burcham added. He’ll tackle e-mails until approximately 8 a.m., when his meetings for the day usually begin. “I’ll usually have back-to-back meetings with various people,” he said. Those people are wide-ranging and can include senior vice presidents, faculty, staff, students – “whoever has to see me,” said Burcham. “Whoever has urgent business.” He’ll usually have lunch with somebody – a donor, a student, a group of students – and then he’ll resume the meetings. Once the evening rolls around, he’ll frequently attend evening events, usually getting home by 9 or 10 p.m., sometimes earlier. Weekends aren’t necessarily free either – especially this time of year, said Burcham, since there are day meeting events. “So it’s a full job,” he said. “No doubt about it.” His “full job” might account for his ability to “be in bed and asleep by 8:30 or 9 p.m.” Burcham admits that

he’s still working on finding time for leisure, and that his workout schedule has taken a bit of a hit ever since he became president. But as far as finding time to spend with his wife Chris, who works as a public library administrator in Long Beach, Burcham said that’s not a problem at all. “You just have to make sure that you keep your priorities straight and make time whenever you can. So that’s what I do,” he said matter-of-factly. Burcham started the day of this interview by answering e-mails at 6:30 a.m. Then, in order: breakfast with another university president, a meeting with the chair of the inauguration committee, a meeting with Senior Vice President of University Relations Dennis Slon, a couple of phone calls, an interview with the Loyolan, an interview with the Los Angeles archdiocese’s official newspaper, The Tidings, lunch with a Loyolan reporter, a meeting with Chief Financial Officer Thomas Fleming, a cabinet meeting with all the senior vice presidents, another meeting (at the time of this interview, he wasn’t sure what it was about), a meeting with Dean of the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts Paul Zeleza and the LMU-Pepperdine men’s basketball game in the evening. “But today’s a light day,” said Burcham.

David Burcham didn’t take up the deanship at Loyola Law School with his eye on the LMU presidency. In fact, he didn’t even enter looking to become provost, which is what happened in 2008. “Law is my academic love,” said Burcham. “It was an out-of-the-blue dinner at his request that [then-president Fr. Robert B. Lawton, S.J.] had with me over three years ago now where he asked me to come over as provost. That was like a lightning bolt.” It wasn’t an easy decision for Burcham, who wasn’t sure if it was the right move. He took a long time in deciding to say yes, primarily out of loyalty to and respect for Fr. Lawton. Once he was here, Burcham “fell in love.” “The students here are unbelievable. Their commitment to the mission of the University is just palpable as you walk around campus and talk to them,” he said. That kind of statement is typical for Burcham, who often expresses admiration for his fellow LMU community members, whether they’re students, staff, faculty or members of religious communities. The first phase of another unanticipated career shift for Burcham was set into motion in March 2010 when Fr. Lawton announced his resignation during his 11th year as LMU’s president, citing health as one of the major reasons. As provost and executive vice president, Burcham stepped in as acting and then interim president; he was also what he called the “natural person to step in there” as LMU’s 15th president. That would make him the first lay president in LMU’s history, as well as the first non-Catholic to take the position at any Jesuit university. But the last thing Burcham wanted was to be a point of division in the University. “At that point, I didn’t think I’d ever be a candidate, because it would be a break in tradition, and I didn’t want to divide the campus,” he said. “And so I told the [presidential] search committee and anybody else that would

listen to me that I wasn’t going to be a candidate initially. I wasn’t sure it was right for the University. I didn’t want to be a lightning rod … I didn’t want to cause a big split.” Burcham said he wanted to give recruiters a period of time – which turned out to be several months – where they could tell prospective candidates that no inside candidates had applied “because that would dissuade others from applying.” He wanted to give the selection committee as wide a candidate pool as possible. Burcham said that in order for him to apply, he said he would need a coalition that included Jesuits, women religious and a broad base of faculty to encourage him to apply to know that’s what the community wanted. “And that coalition actually developed over last summer, and in August I ended up sending the letter and applying. And then it was out of my hands and the rest was up to the search committee and the Board of Trustees,” said Burcham. Any of his worries about that were assuaged on Oct. 4, 2010, when Chairman of the Board of Trustees R. Chad Dreier sent an e-mail to the LMU community that said Burcham had been unanimously elected by the Board of Trustees as LMU’s 15th president. Burcham, who called Fr. Lawton’s medical leave/resignation in the first place a “shock” especially to him, said the strong support he was shown in the first moments of Fr. Lawton’s absence and his taking the reins of LMU’s top leadership position comprised one of his defining moments here. “If it had been an experience that was different, I probably would have decided that I didn’t want to be president,” he said. “But it had the opposite effect.” And after all of that, Burcham can pretty concisely express how the overall process played out. “It worked out fine,” he laughed.

Two proud passions

Kenzie O’Keefe | Loyolan

Loyolan Senior Editor José Martinez spent two and a half hours with LMU President David W. Burcham, getting a closer look at Burcham as a university president and Burcham as a person.

Supreme Court past

Perhaps one of the most attention-grabbing lines on David Burcham’s long résumé reads thus: “Law Clerk to Byron R. White, Associate Justice, United States Supreme Court.” Perhaps even more remarkably, Burcham filled that position just two years after graduating first in his class at Loyola Law School in 1984. Each of the nine justices of the Supreme Court are allowed up to four clerks; according to Burcham, almost all of them do take four. Before being selected by White, though, Burcham was already clerking for Ruggero J. Aldisert, then-chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and had started that position just three months after graduating from Loyola Law School. Burcham vividly remembers where he was when he was offered the Supreme Court Clerkship – and even that it happened on the first Monday of October, 1986. “I got a call – direct line, they didn’t have any screens – [to] my desk at the Third Circuit. I’d already gone down and had an interview with Justice White, and I got a call that said, ‘This is Justice White.’ I thought it was

my co-clerk next door playing a trick on me. And I said ‘Cut the BS, John,’ – except I didn’t say BS,” said Burcham, laughing. “There was a pause and it said, ‘This is Justice White in Washington,’ and I thought ‘Uh-oh.’” Clerks’ tasks vary, according to Burcham. They write memos, argue cases and sometimes write drafts of opinions that get assigned to their justice. “It’s seven days a week, long hours every day, but it was absolutely terrific,” said Burcham. “You learn to write very quickly and pretty well, because you’re writing all day long and all night long.” Burcham called it a “very heady job to have for a recent alum of a law school,” citing the fact that clerks are involved with some of the most contemporary important legal issues. So considering that kind of workday, it’s a good thing that, according to Burcham, he and White “got along great.” “We agreed on some things and disagreed on some things. That’s pretty typical,” he said. “He loved to argue. He was brutal. He would show no mercy, and that was my style, so it was incredibly rewarding.”

David Burcham went from high school to college and then back to high school. Burcham attended Occidental College (“Oxy”) beginning in 1979, during a time when “there were a lot of things going on in the world, Vietnam being the chief one,” he said. “A lot of people came of age during that period of time and were disillusioned with our government, disillusioned with the way we treated other nations and our foreign policy. It was a great time academically to grow up.” But after graduating with a bachelor’s in political science, Burcham was unsure of what to do. “I graduated from Oxy thinking about going to the School of Advanced International Studies [at Johns Hopkins University],” he said. “I thought a little bit about law school, but I wasn’t sure, and I ended up teaching high school, which I loved. I love teaching.” Burcham taught U.S. Government, U.S History and Ethnic Studies. “I taught Ethnic Studies because I was in a school that had a fair amount of Latino students, but no Latino faculty, and I was the only one that said they would teach it,” he said. So he learned Mexican-American history and “a little bit about Ethnic Studies.” Further pressing Burcham on why he decided to teach Ethnic Studies revealed more about his passion for education and what would eventually become a passion for law. “During that period of time – this was 1974, 1975 – one of the domestic issues in educational policy, one of the really focused issues, was desegregation and integration,” he said. “I became really interested in that subject, spe-

cifically to what diversity in the classroom does to the educational program and how it affects teaching and learning. And so I became very involved in efforts to have successful integration of the Long Beach public schools, and I thought [Ethnic Studies] would be a natural course for me.” His love for law runs in the same vein. “In my doctoral work at UCLA, I came to realize through my coursework that at the time, the significant educational policy issues of the day really weren’t being decided by educators, but they were being decided by lawyers and judges,” Burcham said. That’s why he put his dissertation on hold to go to law school, which ultimately resulted in his choosing a Supreme Court clerkship over completing his doctoral work. His love for education seems to run in the family – his mother Esther was a schoolteacher – and in moving from teacher to professor to LMU president, his values haven’t changed. “[Diversity] is part and parcel to the academic excellence,” Burcham said, referring to LMU. “It is how an individual grows and how an individual becomes, in my mind, a fully realized human being: to understand differences, to embrace differences, to not be threatened by differences, and to be able to work with differences. That can only happen in a diverse environment. You can’t get it from a book; you can’t get it from a lecture.” Burcham’s passion for teaching, in fact, runs so deep that he’s going to add one more thing to his already-packed schedule during the next academic year: a class that he teaches. “Well,” he added, laughing, “I’m going to try.”

Donald Burcham On President David W. Burcham’s bookshelf in his office on the fourth floor of U-Hall, there’s a framed photo of a younger Burcham standing with his arm around a man, three and a half years younger than him, who has Down syndrome [see “A glimpse of a presidential bookcase,” p. 6]. That man in the photo is Burcham’s younger brother, Donald. He passed away approximately a year and a half ago. “He was the soul of our family for a long time,” said Burcham. “He was a terrific, terrific person.” Burcham said that although Donald “was functioning,” he grew up needing a lot of special assistance and “had to have special programs all of his life.” “He had a heart of gold,” Burcham said, a smile forming on his face. “As any special-needs family will attest, they become the center of a lot of attention. A lot of things are structured around them.” The president said he and his brother had a special bond, being the two brothers of his parents’ four children. He told one particularly poignant story that has clearly had a profound effect on him. “I’ve been in very few fights in my life – the last one was in fifth grade. The kid behind us where we lived was making fun of my brother,” he said. “So I pummeled him!” Burcham added with a laugh. “And I got in big trouble.” And would he do it again? “I hope I would find something besides violence to deal with that issue now,” he said. “I’m pretty much a pacifist, and that was out of character for me, so I’ve always thought about it, [about] what it was that triggered that. I think it was just this deep sense of injustice and cruelty that a fifthgrader could feel.” And although he was defending his brother, Burcham said that he learned something from that fight. “My dad, at that point, said there is no justification for violence. None whatsoever. And that stuck with me,” said Burcham. Burcham’s voice swells with a gentle pride and love when talking about Donald, especially when recounting how when Donald was born, the doctor told Burcham’s mother, Esther, that he wouldn’t live for more than five years. Donald was 53 years old when he died. “He could read at the fifth-grade level, could read music, play the piano, knew all the president’s birth dates by memory, all their wives’ birth dates, where they were buried, and he knew more about U.S. history in terms of presidential succession than I did,” said Burcham. “And that always used to be amazing to me.” “He had a special life,” said Burcham.

David W. Burcham: a biography Burcham’s life experiences help him stay grounded in education, law and faith. By José Martinez Senior Editor

David Burcham still commutes to LMU from the city he grew up in. Born on Sept. 29, 1951 in Long Beach, Calif. to parents H. David and Esther, both of whom are now deceased, Burcham was the third of four children. His two older sisters, Cathy and Mary, currently work as a lawyer and as an accountant, respectively. His younger brother, Donald, whom Burcham called “the soul of” his family, had Down syndrome, and died about a year and a half ago at the age of 53. “When [Donald] was born,” Burcham said, “the doctor told my mom that he wouldn’t live past five years old. So he had a special life.” [Read more about Burcham’s brother on page 3.] None of the Burchams’ lives were exactly typical, though. H. David was a Presbyterian pastor, to which Burcham, also Presbyterian, attributes a large part of the role that faith plays in his life. “We were raised in the church,” said Burcham. “In the Presbyterian tradition, the family of the pastor is the first family of the church, and so you grow up in the church. You’re at all the services, and you’re at the Wednesday night dinners. I grew up in youth groups and going to church camp, so it was a really solid grounding that has taken hold and served me all my life.” That grounding, says Burcham, was challenged a bit when he enrolled in Occidental College in 1969, especially because growing up in his church’s first family was “necessarily pretty restrictive.” “My first year of college, I felt the freedom,” he said. “Probably abused it a bit, but not terribly. During that first year and a half, I grew a lot into adulthood, dealing with the freedom, dealing with all the

things freshmen have to deal with.” Burcham said that process was probably more acute in his life because of the strict way he was raised. When he was a sophomore, Burcham met someone who would become an extremely important part of his life. “My second year, I met a cute little blonde girl who became a girlfriend, and eventually my wife,” he said. Burcham and his wife, Chris, just celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary in December. Burcham graduated from Occidental unsure of what his next step would be. Eventually he decided to go back to high school: He taught at Long Beach Wilson High School for three years (U.S. Government, U.S. History and Ethnic Studies) and worked in administration for four years, first as a director of student activities at Long Beach Poly High School and then as vice principal of Tustin High School. While he worked in the high school arena, Burcham also got his Master’s in educational administration at CSU Long Beach and completed all but the dissertation requirement of a doctoral program at UCLA. After taking a class that was crosslisted in UCLA’s law school, though, Burcham realized law was a passion that he wanted to pursue. [For more on Burcham’s passion for education and law, see “Two proud passions” on page 3.] He quit as Tustin High’s vice principal and enrolled in Loyola Law School, from which he graduated first in his class in 1984. That’s when judges started calling him. “I had an opportunity upon my graduation to clerk for a very important judge in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Pittsburgh, Penn.,” he said. “And so I moved our family to Pittsburgh for two years to do that.” He got a two-year extension on his doctoral dissertation so he could pick up where he left off after the clerkship ended, but then he got another call. “I got an offer from the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White to clerk for him for a year. And that’s when I realized that, you know what, this dissertation isn’t go-

ing to happen,” Burcham said, laughing. [See “Supreme Court past” on page 2 for more on Burcham’s clerkship.] Burcham stayed with law for a while after that, moving back to Los Angeles to be in private practice (employment/labor) from 1987-1991. He then returned to Loyola Law School to work as a professor, and eventually dean, until 2008, when he began work as LMU’s provost at the behest of then-University President Fr. Robert B. Lawton, S.J. “It took a long time for me to decide to accept his offer because it wasn’t clear to me that it was right for me, but basically out of loyalty and respect for Fr. Lawton and because he’s a pretty effective arm-twister, I finally said yes,” said Burcham. “And then, once here, I fell in love with this campus.” Good thing, too, because when Fr. Lawton fell ill in 2010, it was Burcham who took up the position of acting president, interim president and, ultimately, with a unanimous vote from the presidential selection committee and LMU’s Board of Trustees in October 2010, LMU’s 15th University president. “It’s very humbling,” said Burcham. “And you realize that this place is so much bigger than any one person or group of people and that you really have to make sure you always keep that in the forefront of your mind as you make decisions and do things.” [For more on Burcham’s journey to the presidency, see “Journey to the presidency” on page 3.] And though the new job is keeping him plenty busy, Burcham still tries to find time to do the things he likes: fly-fishing, hiking, reading, gardening. He and his wife Chris – who have two grown children, David and Stacy – have a cabin “up in the middle of nowhere in the Sierra Nevadas,” where Burcham said he’s looking forward to spending some time once the snow melts. But for now, he’s fine with a busy schedule. [See page 2 for “A day in the life of a university president.”] “Hey,” he said. “This is a labor of love.”

His 3 goals for office: Academic excellence

• “We need to make sure that we are serving our students well, particularly as the world changes so rapidly around us. I want to see an increased focus on interdisciplinary work, both with faculty and with the curriculum. I want to see an increased focus on internationalization. I’m making sure that we’re preparing our students to be of service or work in a more globalized economy and more globalized society. I want to make sure that, as part of academic excellence, we stay true to our commitment to diversity, and to interfaith, interethnic and intercultural dialogue.”

Education of the whole person

• “Much of higher education focuses on facilitating the intellectual development of students for fairly instrumental purposes – preparing for graduate or professional schools or becoming employable. Education of the whole person is a much broader concept, focusing on the encouragement of students to integrate all important dimensions of their lives – the intellectual, the spiritual, the social – so that their lives can have greater meaning and fulfillment.”

Fundraising

• “We’re not going to be able to do much of anything in terms of serious advancement without a lot more resources, and so that’s sort of the coldwater-in-the-face reality check. We can say whatever [we] want, have lots and lots of goals and lots and lots of vision, but if we don’t have the resources, it’s not going to happen. I take really seriously my responsibility to raise lots of money.”

A president who is not putting up any fronts Burcham from page 1 “I have a tremendous responsibility and obligation to make sure that the University continues to prosper,” he said. “There are a lot of different people and a lot of different groups that have put their trust into me, and I have a really strong desire not to let them down.” Statements like this are reflective of what many in the community say about him: He’s a down-to-earth, honest guy who’s not putting up any fronts. His guard isn’t up because I’m a student – he jokes with Loyolan Editor in Chief Kenzie O’Keefe, who’s snapping photos during our interview, and me about his not being photogenic and the unruliness of his hair. He doesn’t maintain propriety for the sake of propriety; instead, he focuses on being, in his own words, an agenda-setter, a consensus-builder and a problem-solver. Everything else falls into place. And the candor that results can be moving. Hearing Burcham talk about his brother with Down syndrome, Donald, who passed away a year and a half ago, is powerful, because the bond he shared with his only brother is still clearly very much a part of who he is today. He also has no qualms about being honest about his current position: When former University President Fr. Robert B. Lawton, S.J. asked him to leave the deanship at Loyola Law School to be LMU’s provost, Burcham wasn’t sure right away if he should. He eventually did, and when Fr. Lawton resigned due to medical reasons, Burcham wasn’t sure if he was going to throw his name in the ring. Of course, he did, and the gravity of being appointed as LMU’s 15th president isn’t lost on him. “It’s very humbling,” he said. “You realize that this place is so much bigger than any one person or group of people and that you have to really make sure you always keep that in

the forefront of your mind as you make decisions and do things.” Taking all of the opinions that are present in a university setting is a daunting task, which can be compounded by the fact that Burcham does in fact represent a break in tradition: He is LMU’s first lay president in a long line of Jesuits. Also, he’s Presbyterian. But while that may be at the root of some of the antagonistic sentiment he’s gotten, he still seeks to build consensus, something that wouldn’t be nearly as successful of an endeavor without his passion, which goes back to his love for teaching. “A president is, in many ways, a teacher,” he said. “You just have a larger classroom. I think for any job, a leadership job in particular, passion is very important, because as a leader, you need to motivate people and need to inspire people. That passion is one vehicle for doing that.” Burcham’s experience has taught him that, in addition to a teacher, he’s also a learner. I’ve seen this play out in the interviews I’ve conducted with him in the past; as often as he’s answering questions, he’s asking me questions and asking what I think about a certain issue or event. (Then he listens.) One learning experience stood out to Burcham in particular. “I think it was first semester last year [Fall 2009] where there were some incidents involving race, and the students did a march and a rally for tolerance,” he said. “I spoke just very briefly to the crowd, but when you looked out over the crowd in Sunken Garden, there were like 500 or 600 students. It just reinforced in my head how special this student body is, because it was all studentrun. And so I realized that I could learn a lot, actually, from the students, which has always been the case.” Mid-interview, we moved from Burcham’s office on the fourth floor of U-Hall to the Crimson Lion for

President Burcham looks out of his U-Hall office window during his interview with Loyolan Senior Editor José Martinez. lunch. As we discuss some of the more abstract questions – what the presidency means, what qualities are important – I think about some of things he’s said. LMU’s 15th president is someone who’s accidentally called BS on a Supreme Court Justice over the phone; who gets nervous because he knows he can’t always “control events and sometimes events are bad”; who lives in admiration of his deceased brother who lived with Down syndrome for 53 years; who admits to, for a time, abusing the newfound freedom of college during his days at Occidental; who admits that he sometimes struggles finding time for leisure with his presidential schedule; who speaks lovingly of his wife, Chris, with whom he just celebrated a

37th wedding anniversary. In other words, he’s human, and he hasn’t tried to make LMU believe otherwise. The students are why he’s here. So I ask him straight out: Why does he care so much about the students? “Because they’re our future,” he said, without missing a beat. “The education profession is a noble profession because it involves a transmission of culture, of knowledge, of values from one generation to the next. And the reason it’s noble is because there’s nothing more important that a community does [than that].” As lunch hour winds down, Burcham pays for my lunch, and then tells the waitress that he’d like to pay for the lunch of the group that’s

a couple of tables down. Throughout our time there, there’s been a steady stream of incoming and outgoing diners waving to Burcham or stopping by to say something. They’ve all been graciously received by him. “Students have to be, to me, the only reason you’re in this business,” he tells me as we wrap up the interview. “This very important enterprise that we’re involved in, if it’s not centered on the students, it seems to me that we’re going to be adrift; we’re going to lose our mooring. So by necessity, as well as by just the way I look at things, they’re at the center.” LMU can look forward to years of Burcham’s actions speaking even louder than his words in that regard.

Former University President Fr. Robert B. Lawton, S.J., is a big fan of soon-to-be-inaugurated David Burcham. After all, according to Burcham himself, loyalty to and respect for Fr. Lawton were the primary reasons Burcham accepted Fr. Lawton’s offer to leave his deanship at Loyola Law School for the provost position at LMU, which Burcham began in 2008. Then, when Fr. Lawton resigned in March 2010, it was Burcham who was to step in as acting president and interim president. After a lengthy search process, the Board of Trustees announced that Burcham had been appointed as the University’s 15th president. Fr. Lawton’s reaction to the Loyolan was enthusiastic, as he said that Burcham had proven himself capable in every job he’d done at the University. “He’s really enthusiastic for the mission of the University, which is extremely important,” Fr. Lawton told the Loyolan. “[He] is dedicated to carrying out the mission of LMU.” At the time, Fr. Lawton declined to offer Burcham any advice. “He doesn’t need words of wisdom from me,” the 14th president said. “He’s terrific!” With Burcham’s inauguration approaching, the Loyolan tried once more to ask Fr. Lawton to share any advice he has for Burcham. Fr. Lawton’s response was similar. “I worked closely with Dave both when he was dean of Loyola Law School and when he was University provost,” Fr. Lawton said. “He is awesome and doesn’t need any advice from me. Indeed, he more frequently gave me advice! The one thing I would say is: ‘Dave, you are a hard worker. Just be sure to take care of yourself.’ I’m certain that his wonderful wife Christine will help him with that!”

Thoughts from the community “As both the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and a proud alum of Loyola Marymount University, I am very excited about the future of the university with President Burcham. I have worked with David in his various positions at LMU and have always known him to be ethical, motivated, innovative and determined. I am confident he will continue to be a strong leader and is the ideal president to lead LMU in its commitment to excellence, diversity and expansion.” -R. Chad Dreier, Chair of Board of Trustees

“What I have come to see about David Burcham’s presidency is that it is firmly rooted in LMU’s mission; it capitalizes on Fr. Lawton’s vision of becoming one of the premier Catholic institutions of higher education in America, and it places a high premium on excellence and forward thinking. It doesn’t get much better than that!” -Elena M. Bove, Senior Vice President for Student Affairs “First, having served as provost and then as acting president, [David Burcham] already had exhibited his sincere dedication to LMU’s mission and identity. Many people cited examples of how he lives the mission … not just in words, but in actions. Second, his administrative style was commended by many ... I see a renewed sense of community and enthusiasm among the faculty, exciting them to take steps to ensure even greater scholarship and academic success among LMU’s students. Third, President Burcham is committed to LMU and to enhancing LMU’s reputation. For him, being president is not just a job. He arrives at the crack of dawn, and he stays late. During his hours on-campus and off-campus, he meets with influential community leaders to enhance LMU’s visibility, yet he never is too busy to stop and greet students. David Burcham has a broad, aggressive goal for LMU as we enter our next century, and he already has demonstrated his commitment, skills and experience to take us there. -Kathleen H. Aikenhead, Vice-Chairmen Board of Trustees and Chair of the Presidential Search Committee

“This presidency is such a watershed moment because President Burcham is a lay Presbyterian succeeding a line of Jesuits. He knows, though, that the power of LMU’s mission statement is that it transcends denominations to help create people who live with and for others, regardless of whether they’re Catholic or not. He cares about maintaining and strengthening that, and he knows that LMU’s success starts with the people that are here, whether that means students, faculty or staff.” -José Martinez, Loyolan Senior Editor and Member of the Presidential Search Committee

“The AJCU [Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities] certainly welcomes President Burcham and we’re really happy to be working with him as he assumes that leadership position at Loyola Marymount.” -Fr. Charles Currie, S.J., President of the AJCU

“My experience with President Burcham is that he is smart and decisive and really cares about the safety of the campus. He made a commitment to emergency preparedness that has made my job so much easier. He is a pretty inspirational guy.” -Hampton Cantrell, Chief of Public Safety

“This is an exciting time for LMU: our first lay president and our Centennial year. It feels like now is the time when we will build on our history and move forward in new ways. You often see President Burcham with his sleeves rolled up, ready to focus on what’s in front of him and take action. With his leadership, we will move on to be the best LMU that we can be.” -Pam Rector, Director of the Center for Service and Action

The Loyolan would like to congratulate President David W. Burcham on his inauguration as the 15th president of Loyola Marymount University. President Burcham’s installment marks a historical moment – he is LMU’s first non-Jesuit president, and the first non-Catholic to hold the presidency of any Jesuit university nationwide.

About the inauguration issue With this special edition, the Loyolan hopes to celebrate that and what it means for the University. LMU’s mission and identity does not rest solely in the figure of the president. Instead, it entails a collaborative effort between students, faculty and staff, all led by the president, to live up to the three tenets of the mission statement: the edu-

cation of the whole person, the encouragement of learning and the service of faith and promotion of justice. As can be easily gleaned from the content of this issue of the Loyolan, the LMU community believes President Burcham to be a man who is more than capable of that kind of leadership. Members of the community describe

him as someone whose commitment to the mission is palpable, who truly cares about the people he leads – whether they’re students, faculty or staff – and someone who is well aware of the challenges facing higher education today, particularly at a Catholic University. Perhaps most importantly, he’s someone who loves what

he’s doing. Effectively, that makes this special edition a celebration of President Burcham’s being officially installed into a job that he looks forward to every day. The Loyolan is proud to represent a University that’s led by President Burcham and would like to wish him well in what the paper is confident will be a successful term.

From student to president: a brief history After graduating first in his class from Loyola Law School in 1984, David Burcham worked in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit for Chief Judge Ruggero J. Aldisert and as a clerk in the U.S. Supreme Court for Justice Byron White before going into private practice at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Dedicating his life to education, Burcham became senior vice president and dean of the Loyola Law School in 2000 (pictured right and bottom). He continued his long-lasting relationship with the University when he took the job of executive vice president and provost for Loyola Marymount University in 2008. Following the retirement of former president Fr. Robert B. Lawton, S.J., last year, Burcham was named acting president of the University and then interim president last March. Today, Burcham is officially inaugurated as LMUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15th president, and first lay president, in a ceremony at 3:15 p.m. in Albert Gerten Pavillion after an inauguration Mass and luncheon.

Last season the 49ers men’s basketball team faced some depth issues right from the start of the 2010-2011 campaign, when they had only seven active players in their opening game against Gardner Webb.Charlotte welcomes back four starts in their leading scorer Derrio Green, Mr.double-double Chris Braswell. Head Coach Alan Major was forced to deal with adversity right from the get go, as the team managed to win just 10 games in 2011. The 49ers look to improve upon last year, as they did have some glimmers of hope in defeating then No.7 Tennessee at Time Warner Cable Arena and they also handed Xavier their only loss in the A-10 Conference. This year Charlotte is young, with only two seniors on the active roster, but they do have something they didn’t have a year ago: depth.

The Charlotte 49ers women’s basketball team comes into the 2011-2012 season with a lot of hope, after their successful run to the WNIT Final Four last March. Last season, the 27-10 Niners averaged 69.8 points a game, and were led by the scoring power of Shannon McCallum and Epiphany Woodson. In the Atlantic-10, the Niners went 9-5, winning several big games including Dayton (73-52) and Richmond (68-63). Against Dayton, Epiphany Woodson, dropped 22 points, sparking the Niners five game win streak. Charlotte graduated their leading scorers from a year ago in Shannon McCallum and Kendria Holmes. Coming back this season are seniors Epiphany Woodson, Jennifer Hailey, Amanda Dowe and Paige McCallum.

menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top 5 Head Coach Bob McKillopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wildcats possess a very strong team who made an appearance in the College Basketball Invitational last season,where they fell to the Creighton Bluejays 102-92. The Wildcats are coming off an 18-15 season, with a 10-8 record in the SoCon. The 49ers and Wildcats look to cause a buzz around the city, as the Battle for the Hornets Nest Trophy resumes.

Charlotte fans better postpone their holiday plans as a Hurricane will be brewing inside Halton Arena, the 49ers host Miami for a little pre-holiday hoops action in the seventh overall meeting between the two schools. The 49ers hold a 4-2 edge in the series, with their last meeting occurring a decade ago in 2002.

Charlotte meets the Razorbacks for the first time, as the Southeast meets the Southwest in a late Dec. showdown. Charlotte and Arkansas look even when it comes to experience on their rosters as the 49ers, like the Razorbacks have just two seniors. Arkansas graduated their leading scorer Rotnei Clarke, who averaged 15.2 points-per-game.

Fresh off a disappointing 77-75 loss to the Arizona Wildcats last fall, the Tigers are primed and ready to make yet another postseason run in 2011-2012. Charlotte and Memphis are familiar opponents as the 49ers were a member of the C-USA from 1995-2005, where they met the Tigers thirteen times.

The Musketeers captured a share of the regular season title last year, finishing with a record of 24-8 overall and 8-1 in the Atlantic-10 conference with their only loss coming to Charlotte inside Halton Arena. In the series with Xavier, the Musketeers have the overwhelming edge the 49ers 2-9 overall.

At the Courtyard LaGuardia Turkey Classic, the 49ers are set to play previous Charlotte head coach Amanda Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Florida Gators. The 49ers will be tested against a team that returns five starters, who were ranked fourth in scoring in the SEC last year. The Gators defeated the Niners 76-70 at the beginning of the season, but fell to Charlotte 81-77 in the WNIT.

The Seminoles return a team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament last year. Florida State posted a record of 24-8 last season and ended the year ranked No.15 in the nation, and are currently ranked No.20 going into the season. Charlotte is 1-1 all time against the Seminoles, their last meeting was back in the 2004-2006 season.

Playing at Ohio State, Charlotte will face a Buckeye team that finished 24-10 last year, including a NCAA run into the Sweet 16. The 49ers need to watch out for the lone Buckeye senior Samantha Prahalis, who scored 14.5 points a game, and is the Ohio State all-time assist leader with 707. This will be the first meeting between the two teams.

Taking on the Tigers, the 49ers will battle a team with two returning seniors, and who finished in the middle of the pack in the SEC last season. In the first meeting between the two schools, Charlotte will have to watch for junior Blanch Alverson, who as a sophomore was second on the team in scoring averaging 10.2 points per game.

Ranked No.11 in the nation, the Xavier Musketeers will be in the 49ers line of fire this season. Coming of the heels of a 29-3 season with seven letterwiners returning, the only returning starter is senior guard Tyeasha Moss, who averaged 10.4 points a game, and led the A-10 in threepointers. Charlotte possesses a 3-7 record against the Musketeers, falling 82-61 last

Corey Conner Executive Editor Athletes don’t just exist on the court, but like other students must participate in academic life on top of their athletic commitments. In a recent interview with WFAE Chancellor Dubois said, “There are the NCAA standards and then there are the institutional standards. If students don’t meet on a regular basis both with respect to the credit hours they complete each semester and how much progress they’re making towards their major. If they don’t meet those bench-

marks, they don’t play.” Charlotte 49er athletes have the assistance of Athletic Academic Center in meeting those requirements. The center provides advising services, study hall, tutoring services, and more. Student athletes also participate in the 49er Life Skills program. Founded in 1999 the program is meant to provide “a balanced program, promoting a total person concept. There are five areas that make up the program, academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal development, career development, and service.

I think the big thing, when you bring a guy into your program is that you want guys who will tackle things in a championship fashion. Whether it be academics, off the court, or handling themselves in the community and as a player.” EN: How do the new guys fit into your system? AM: “I think buying into how hard you have to play is the one thing you can demand and expect along with capturing the effort you need to succeed. The Number one thing is buying in and understanding defensively and understanding effort and hustle. Now that you have that as your baseline, you can work on the X’s and O’s later.” EN: What are you some of your hardest nonconference games this season?

rivalryhornet’s nest

UNC CHARLOTTE

The rivalry between the two schools is genuinely fierce...the games are always sloppy, fun and frantic. Joel Hanel Asst. Sports Editor With the return of 49er Basketball this year, comes the 31st ‘Battle for the Hornet’s Nest.’ The decisive game for bragging rights in Mecklenburg County has taken place between the Charlotte 49ers and the Davidson Wildcats since the 1979-80 season, and has been one of the biggest 49er games each season. Continuing the tradition, the Niners will once again take the court against their county rivals in their fight to return the Hornet’s Nest Trophy to its true owners. To a Charlotte fan, the Davidson game is often the highlight of a season, especially as the Niners currently lead the rivalry 20-10. Sadly, the Davidson Wildcats took The Hornet’s Nest Trophy last season in Davidson’s Belk Gym, but with the game being played in Halton Arena, things might change. As previously stated, the Niners lead the “Battle for the Hornet’s Nest” 20-10, but also have led all games played 26-10. As journalist Scott Fowler said in 2007, “the rivalry between the two schools is genuinely fierce. I go to this game every year if I’m in town. You should too if you like basketball, for it is invariably a December gift that keeps on giving. The games are always sloppy, fun and frantic.” One big advantage that plays a part in the rivalry is that the Niners are undefeated (6-0) in Halton Arena against the Wildcats. Home court advantage helped the Niners win the last meeting on Charlotte’s home floor in 2007, as the Niners with the shooting skills of Leemire Goldwire defeated Stephen Curry’s Wildcats. What has been remarked as one of the greatest Niner victories, the two three-point shooters battled it out, Goldwire sinking nine three-pointers, and Curry making seven. In the end, a Charlie Coley dunk and reverse lay-up sealed the deal, and the Niners contin-

ued their unblemished home record in Halton. The rivalry between the Charlotte 49ers and the Davidson Wildcats was much anticipated after the 1977 Final Four appearance by the 49ers. Talk around the city of Charlotte grew to an all time high, when “The Rivalry That Isn’t” aired on local television, talking about the possibility for a matchup. Said 49er Coach Lee Rose in the show, “We think the people in Charlotte would like to see the game, and we have made certain proposals that haven’t been acted upon. One day, they would like to play us, but we are ready to play as soon as we can get together.” On December 10th, the Charlotte 49ers and Davidson Wildcats will once again meet on the paint of Halton Arena. Though it has been four years since the two teams have met on the campus of UNC Charlotte, the tradition continues. The Niners and Wildcats have played ever since the rivalry began but after the 2007 loss to Charlotte, both teams failed to take the court until last year, when the tradition continued at Davidson’s campus. For those who have been at UNC Charlotte for four years, and are graduating this spring, this will the one and only chance to witness a Davidson game as a student played in Halton Arena. Being able to quote accurate statistics about the Davidson rivalry is a highlight of being a Niner fan. This season prepare with quotes of knowledge such as, “Charlotte has won all three overtime games against Davidson,” and or flaunt your knowledge with “Did you know the Niners kept the Hornet’s Nest Trophy from 1986 until 1993, and that is three times longer than Davidson’s longest record?” Attending the Davidson game will be a highlight of your time at UNC Charlotte, and for freshmen or transfer students; it is not something to miss.

Charlotte picked to finish 11th Kevin Tatum The Philidelphia Inquirer Oct. 14--NEW YORK -- With college basketball teams around the nation officially opening preseason practice Friday, coaches Fran Dunphy of Temple, John Giannini of La Salle, and Phil Martelli of St. Joseph’s were at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge on Thursday to take care of one more bit of off-thecourt business. It was Atlantic Ten media day, which was held in the town where the league will begin holding its conference tournament in 2012-13 at the nearby Barclays Center. The event will return to Atlantic City for this season. Among other things, the A-10 released its preseason poll, which had Temple finishing second behind defending champ Xavier. St. Joseph’s was in the seventh slot, and La Salle was picked 13th in the 14-team league. For Temple to live up to that promise or better, Dunphy has to devise a way for the Owls to get along without forward Lavoy Allen’s presence around the basket to spearhead the team’s defensive play. The 6-foot-9 Allen, who was selected by the 76ers in the second round of the NBA draft last spring, led Temple to a 26-8 season that

ended with a 71-64 loss to San Diego State in the third round of the NCAA tournament. The Owls finished second in the A-10 with a 14-2 record. “It’s going to be interesting to not play with Lavoy,” said Dunphy, who under new NCAA rules has been able to work with his players two days a week in recent weeks. “We’re working on that. We’ve already had a number of different practices where we’re putting defensive philosophies together. “Losing Lavoy is a huge thing for us, but hopefully, we can make up for it by being a better team defensive group. We left a lot of the defensive philosophy and execution to Lavoy, and now we don’t have that. We’re going to have to reinvent ourselves a little bit.” For St. Joseph’s coach Phil Martelli, whose team finished 11-22 overall and 4-12 in the A-10, getting his players to show growth from last season is Job One. The Hawks do not have a senior on the roster. “We’re still young, but we’re no longer naive,” Martelli said. “Last year, we were young and naive. We have work to do, and I think the youthfulness of our team could be an advantage.” Contact staff writer Kevin Tatum at (215) 854-2583 or ktatum@phillynews.com.

The Gold Mine:

49ers get basketball started David Scott Charlotte Observer Oct. 14--Observations from the Charlotte 49ers’ first basketball practice, which tipped off today at 5 p.m. Charlotte is coming off a 1020 season in which the 49ers failed to qualify for the Atlantic 10 tournament. Four starters return, with seven new scholarship players also coming into the program. -- “Options.” That was the word coach Alan Major used to describe the 15 players he saw on the court. Last season -- due to suspension, eligibility issues and injuries -- Major often had just two scholarship players on the bench. Now, with freshmen Pierria Henry, E. Victor Nickerson, Mike Thorne and Terrence Williams, transfers DeMario Mayfield and Ilija Ivankovic and sophomore Luka Voncina (who sat out last year due to eligibility issues), Major has a lot from which to choose. -- Many of those options come from players like Mayfield, Nickerson and Williams, who can all play on the wing. The starting backcourt of Deuce Briscoe and Derrio Green is back. Both

guards played heavy minutes last year, which might be why they each averaged about three turnovers per game and shot less than 40 percent. Henry and Voncina will provide depth -- if not push for those starting spots. -- If there’s a spot where the 49ers are thin, it’s in the post. Starter Chris Braswell is back, as is K.J. Sherrill. The only other guys with any size are Ivankovic (6-10) and Thorne (6-10), but they’ll need to develop quickly to contribute. Senior Javarris Barnett (6-7) might be asked to play some power forward, but he’s more of a perimeter player. -- Green, the team’s leading returning scorer (13.0), worked on his shooting a lot over the summer. That’s good, because he made just 33.4 percent of his shots last season and is a 34.9 percent shooter for his career. -- The nonconference schedule, which opens at home against N.C. Central on Nov. 11, lacks pizazz. Most attractive home games are Dec. 10 against Davidson and Dec. 22 against Miami. The end of December brings two compelling games -- at Arkansas on Dec. 28 and at Memphis on Dec. 31.
