CNBAM Best Sales Increase of a Special Section The Daily Vidette is proud to submit the 2011 Homecoming Guide for the 2012 CNBAM Best Sales Increase of a Special Section award. With an increase of revenue of 63.85% sales in comparison to the 2010 Homecoming Guide Supplement, the advertising sales staff also sold advertising to twenty-eight accounts in 2011 versus twenty-one accounts in 2010. This year’s staff nearly doubled the amount grossed and inches sold from $4,612.35 in 2010 to $7,557.51 in 2011 and 461 inches to 738 inches respectively. The increase provided the Illinois State University community with a valuable supplement, improved exposure to clients, and an increase of revenue for the Daily Vidette. The Homecoming Guide ran on the Monday of Homecoming week. This special section received a lot of attention from the community, especially from clients wanting to reach out to students that were planning to participate in the 2011 Homecoming festivities. This is the one time during the year that we are sure that more than just the students are picking up the paper, which gives us a whole different value that we can communicate to our clients. The success of this supplement can be credited to unique incentives and promotions, and staff motivation. One reason the 2011 Homecoming Guide was so profitable was that the advertising sales staff sold the 2011 Homecoming Guide bundled with the 2011 Rental Guide. The bundle package presented both the Homecoming and Rental Guides together. If any clients were interested in doing both guides, the client received a discount of 5% on the Homecoming Guide. By bundling the Homecoming and Rental Guides together, not only did the staff increase the amount of revenue generated for the Homecoming Guide, but they also increased the amount of revenue generated for the Rental Guide as well. While the staff sold $2,945.16 more worth of advertising for the 2011 Homecoming Guide in comparison to the 2010 Homecoming Guide, the staff also increased the revenue brought in for the 2011 Rental Guide by $1,944.49 in comparison to the 2010 Rental Guide. Along with the bundle that we offered advertisers that participated in both the Homecoming and Rental Guides, the advertising sales staff was also offered two different incentives while selling for the Homecoming Guide. The first was an individual incentive that was awarded to the person that obtained the most new clients to run in the Homecoming Guide. The individual that brought in the most new accounts was awarded a $20.00 bonus. The other incentive was a team incentive. The team that sold advertising to the most clients was awarded with a bonus of 50 points each. These incentives promoted competition amongst the staff and increased the desire to the Marketing Consultants to work hard and sell advertising space for these guides. To monitor individual and team successes, a sheet was posted for the consultants to write down their sold advertisements. Posting the sold advertisements on the wall motivated the advertising sales staff to continue to work hard and to see who was selling the most. E-mails were also sent out multiple times per week with Homecoming Guide sales updates.

1990â&#x20AC;&#x201C;present Erin Hogg Daily Vidette Staff Writer
1992 In 1992, the Student Services Building was built as a revenue bond project.
1995 The campus card system began, giving each student a unique ID. The Redbird Card Office opened the same year.
1997 The Science Laboratory Building was built in 1997 and holds teaching and research in the departments of chemistry and biological sciences. It cost $35 million to build.
2000 The Lobby Shop in the Bone Student Center was converted into a walk-in store where students can buy Redbird gear.
2001 Although a bookstore has always been in its location, Barnes & Noble opened its doors in 2001.
2002 In 2002, the Performing Arts Center opened. It includes a 630-830 seat concert hall and a 400-500 seat theater. It cost $18 million to build and it was funded through student fees and private donations. The G-Spot program began in the fall of 2002. It was a joint effort between the Health Promotion Office and the Peer Education student organization, which is now called the Student Wellness Ambassador Team (S.W.A.T.). TechZone moved into its new location across from Barnes & Noble in the Bone Student Center.
2005 The College of Business opened in January 2005. It was designed to allow for the integration of state-of-theart technology into classes, and to encourage a collaborative atmosphere between students, alumni and university business partners. The State Farm Companies Foundation donated funds to build the COB building, and it unites all business faculty and students in one location for the first time in 20 years.

Burger King opened in August 2005 and Pizza Hut opened in January 2005. The Bone Student Center decided to move towards more branded restaurants to increase popularity among students. Dean of Students, University Program Board (UPB) and the programming offices move into the Bone Student Center.
Fun unity of Funk ommunity The Community
2009 The Atrium Lounge opened in April 2009, offering a new place for students to hang out, work on homework and relax. Late Night at the Bone started in 2009 to give students the opportunity to explore the Bone Student Center and learn more about what it has to offer with scavenger hunts, movie showings and other events.

“This isn’t something that people should be competitive to shoot for, Homecoming King or Queen. It kind of negates the spirit of Homecoming.

7DLOJDWH 7LSV Ever wonder how to make your tailgate one to be envious of? Follow these tips, compiled by a tailgate enthusiast, to make yours the talk of the lot. 1. The essentials: A car with a trunk big enough to sit in, at least a 30-pack of beer (no bottles in parking lots), you and your closest friends and family and all of the team memorabilia you can possibly find. 2. FOOD. Burgers, hot dogs, brats, buns, baked beans, potato salad, pop, every potato chip ever invented, condiments and anything else you can think of. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the paper plates, silverware and, of course, the grill. 3. Bags and a football. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the wooden planks and a healthy confidence in your ability to get it in the hole. Have the football there so the guys can to pretend theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Tom Brady for an hour (even if they hate Tom Brady). 4. Music. Bring something you can play some beats with. It might help you get in the zone for the bags game. 5. Clean-up materials. Bring heavy-duty foil to line your grill, which makes clean up a breeze when you pack it in and head into the game. Bring zip-lock bags to organize your food, napkins to keep hands and faces clean and a roll of toilet paper in case the porta-potty is out (your neighbors will thank you for that one). 6. Second-string saviors. Antacids, sun block, First Aid Kits and jumper cables. Enough said. 7. Coolers and ice. Pack the drinks in one cooler and the food in the other. Some tailgating tip websites suggest freezing your water the night before and letting it keep your beer and food cold so the cooler doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become a tiny swimming pool. You can drink the water as it melts to keep hydrated (youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably drinking lots of beer thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dehydrating you) and even use it as an ice-pack if you pull a hammie during bags or beer pong. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a serious competitor; pack like one. 8. Lawn chairs. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be tired after all the walking around, throwing a beanbag or football and drinking. 9. Try a laminated tailgating checklist. Write down everything you plan to bring down to the last plastic red cup and check it off with a dry erase marker as you pack. 10. Good sportsmanship. Tailgating is the ultimate social gathering between sports fans. Use it as an opportunity to walk around, swap stories and food and meet other people as fanatical as you are about your team.

When family comes around... During Homecoming Week, family is always invited to share in the festivities. Here are some ways to keep them (and you) entertained! 1. Talk a walk around the Quad. Fall is a beautiful time to take your family out to see the campus you rush through to get to class and activities. 2. Visit the Alamo II. As it is Homecoming Week, everyone in your family could use a new t-shirt or hoodie to celebrate. 3. Take the family tailgating with your friends. Introduce your parents to the people who have made your years in college the most memorable. Also, show mom and dad the ropes of playing bags and cooking out on a mini grill. 4. Bring them into the game! Wear your new shirt and show your school pride with your family. 5. Go out to dinner. What better a weekend to milk mom and dad for free food? Try someplace in Uptown Normal like Firehouse, Medici or Maggie Mileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or head out into Bloomington for a fancy dinner at Destihl. 6. Go to the parade. What better way to act like a kid? 7. If you have a relative that is an alum, take them around campus to show them all the new changes to campus, like the new Student Fitness Center. What alum wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see the conveniences they missed out on for four years? 8. Take a stroll through classic Uptown Normal. Take your parents to a nice restaurant or casually walk around and enjoy time with good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mom and dad. 9. Convince them to go to Walmart with you. Milk them for some free groceries. 10. Go see a movie at the Normal Theater in Uptown or go see a 3D movie, because us college kids know we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the extra money to see those.

4a. Best Sales Increase of a Special Section CNBAM 2012 Mackenzie Davis, Sales Director The Minnesota Daily
Survival Guide 2011 The Survival Guide is a magazine-style publication that is targeted towards new students on campus in hopes of orienting them during their first few weeks on campus. Like most orientation publications, the editorial content focuses on information pertaining to life at the University of Minnesota like where to eat, places to go, transportation, Minneapolis attractionsâ&#x20AC;Śetc. Historically, this publication has been in high demand for clients because 5,000 issues are distributed to all incoming freshmen at orientations throughout the summer and then 20,000 copies are inserted in the Back to School Issue in the fall. Before this past year, the deadline had to be before summer freshmen orientation in order to distribute them to dorms for each session, so around late May. Because of this, we had to turn down advertisers who wanted to target the freshmen for the remainder of the summer because the issue had already been to print, even though the bulk of them wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be distributed until September. Realizing that printing all 25,000 Survival Guides just to distribute 5,000 for summer orientation was costing the Minnesota Daily some serious potential advertising revenue, we decided to take a different approach for the 2011 Survival Guide. In order to increase the revenue from the Survival Guide publication, the Minnesota Daily worked with Orientations & First Year Programs to come up with a better solution that would make selling ads more efficient and the publication more accessible to advertisers who inquired about it throughout the summer. We decided that as long as we did not decrease the circulation size or neglect to ensure that freshmen specifically were receiving this publication that it would not compromise the issue and have only positive effects. Our solution came with the idea to have two separate publication deadlines, one for the 5,000 Survival Guides that would be distributed at orientation and a second deadline for the 20,000 Survival Guides inserted in the Back to School issue. The first round of the publication would be printed in June and include all advertisers who got in before the May 23rd deadline, while the second round included the same editorial content and initial advertisers but with added advertisements that could be placed up until July 27th. This did mean that the cost of printing the publication increased slightly (by about $1,400), but it was a risk that we were willing to take in order to have an extra two months of selling. This ensured that the extra 5,000 publications would be guaranteed in the hands of freshmen while still distributing 20,000 to the racks with the Back to School issue, changing almost nothing except the advertising deadline and our printing cost. The results of the 2011 Survival Guide sales are as follows: .

2010 to 2011 Increase Percentage
Additional Revenue Generated
51%
$16,359.05
Before the second survival guide deadline even occurred, we had already seen an increase in Survival Guide sales by $2,553.35, up 14% from 2010. This was most likely because we had less turnover in our sales department in May of 2011 than we did in May of 2010 and also because we sent out client information sheets earlier than the previous year. The significant increase was generated with the second run, adding another $13,805 that we would not have collected without changing the print date of the 20,000 Back to School Survival Guides. When totaled, the 2011 Minnesota Daily Survival Guide generated 51% more advertising revenue than the 2010 Survival Guide, seeing an increase of $16,359.05.

Column
Through the eyes of a freshman A former freshman offers a look back on personal growth in the first year of college. BY ERIN LENGAS Editor’s Note: This column originally appeared in the May 5, 2011 issue of the Daily.
Freshman year of college is a rite of passage, a huge transition for all students. It is a time to leave behind a sheltered life at home, take on new responsibilities and truly discover yourself. As my first year winds down, I have been thinking about the ways this school has helped me grow. I have opened my mind to new ideas, and in the end, I am leaving for summer as a better version of myself. Ever yone has a dif ferent college experience. I came to the University of Minnesota with no one from my high school to fall back on. There were more students in the incoming freshman class than people in my town. Like all students who move away from home, I looked for ward to a fresh start and a chance to prove my maturity to my parents and to myself. Living on my own gave me the choice to act responsibly — or not — and make decisions for myself. I quickly learned how to sensibly use my newfound independence, and luckily, I figured it out faster than most. It was not until I was buying my books a month before moving into the dorms that I realized college is school. I had been so busy dreaming about a new start that I never even thought about attending class. It did not take long after the semester began, though, for reality to hit. When reminiscing, students rarely mention the stress of college. They
would rather dish about their out-ofcontrol neighbors in the dorms or relive the parties they frequented on the weekends. I complained to my parents on multiple occasions that no one ever told me college would be so hard. Managing stress was never my strong suit, and starting college challenged me in that sense. Juggling classes, homework and socializing is something students learn to do at their own paces. It took almost all year, but I am finally beginning to find the balance. There were times when I was so overcome with stress that I panicked at the thought of only being one-fourth of the way finished with college. I have begun to realize, though, that I can take my education seriously and still enjoy myself. Busy students need to find that balance in order to stay sane. These moments of realization help reassure me that I am sur viving here, because every day, I know I am learning new things about myself. It is incredible to think that ever y person entering college will come out a changed person — for better or worse. Some thrive under pressure; others crack or get caught up in the par tying scene. This year alone, I witnessed President Barack Obama’s uplifting rally on our campus and inter viewed a homeless man whose optimistic attitude forever altered my perspective of what is important in life. Ever y walk to class provides an oppor tunity to appreciate the beauty of our campus. I make a conscious ef fort to not take this time in my life for granted.
What I am most thankful for, besides the endless opportunities for academic growth, are the relationships I have formed. At home, I knew ever y person in my class and had not had to make friends since kindergarten. Leaving my friends behind taught me two things: how to appreciate the strong relationships I have in my life and how to step out of my comfor t zone and open up to new people. Without fail, ever y student settles in to her own niche. The most amazing part about my ex-
perience is that I have had the chance to meet people who I am truly compatible with, who never cease to teach me new things and who help me become a better person. This growth does not stop after freshman year. We all have the opportunity to learn each day. I am confident that I will carr y these lessons, experiences and changes with me in the future.

A look at University scholarships BY EVELINA SMIRNITSKAYA esmirnitskaya@mndaily.com
Financing an education cost a pretty penny. At the University of Minnesota tuition and fees will run about $13,000 a year — and that amount is likely to increase. But here are a few options to ensure a fiscally worry-free academic career. The University has an extensive student aid program and about 75 percent of students receive some sort of aid. The first and key step is to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid said Kris Wright, the University’s director of student finance. Major scholarships are available through the application, like the University’s Promise Scholarship or the
need-based Federal Pell Grant. Loans like Federal Perkins Loan for lowincome students are also given through FAFSA. But there is also a variety of scholarships awarded across eight schools and numerous departments for students willing to put in a few hours hunting and filling out paperwork. “Think about it this way,” Wright said, “if you spend 10 hours on scholarship search and received $500 — you just paid yourself $50 an hour.” A majority of University-wide scholarships are given to entering freshmen, but some, like the Study Abroad Scholarship, are set aside for specific activities. Students can also receive money through athletic programs or research opportunities.
A majority of these scholarships are awarded to entering freshmen for the duration of their academic careers, though some are available to transfer students. The Maroon and Gold Leadership Award provides $12,000 a year for four academic years to incoming freshmen who are distinguished high school graduates. The Bentson Family Scholarship awards $5,000 a year for four academic years to incoming freshmen who demonstrate academic performance and potential, with preference to students of Jewish faith. The need-based University of Minnesota Alumni Association Freshman Leadership Incentive Scholarship is $2,000 to $2,500 for one year to students with high academic potential, with pref-
5
erence given to first-generation college students. Individual colleges also give out their own awards. College of Liberal Arts students can apply for the Selmer Birkelo Scholarship — an award of up to $4,000 for an academic year in fields like history, modern languages, classics or social and behavioral sciences. The James R. & Carmen Campbell Undergraduate Scholarship awards $5,000 to Carlson School of Management students based on academic performance. The College of Design Legacy Scholarship is for up to $5,000 a year for four years to students studying apparel design, graphic design, housing studies, interior design or retail merchandising.

Get involved in student groups The University offers more than 700 student groups to explore and join. BY SALLY HUNTER shunter@mndaily.com
With more than 50,000 students, the University of Minnesota may seem like a daunting place. But by joining student groups and making new friends, creating a smaller community within campus becomes easier. Finding other students with similar interests is simple with more than 700 registered student groups to choose from — and it’s easy to star t a new group as well. Whether you’re interested in forensic science, anime, juggling or
zombies, there’s a place for you at the University. Joining a student group makes the University feel smaller and presents oppor tunities to tr y new things, said Maggie Towle, director of Student Unions and Activities, a resource for student groups. Towle also said surveys have shown that students that are involved also do well academically. One way to discover new groups is by attending one of the Student Activities Fairs, which will take place Sept. 14 at the front plaza of Cof fman Union and Sept. 20 at the front terrace of the St. Paul Student Center. Several student organizations have booths at these fairs to share their groups’ activities and interests. There is also one of these fairs at
the Mariucci Arena during Welcome Week in early September. Another way to learn about student groups is browsing the Student Unions and Activities website, where all registered groups are listed. Sor ted both alphabetically and by categor y, each group provides a description of the organization and contact information. The website is also the place to go to form a new group. All that’s needed are five students star ting the group, a constitution to turn in at the registration session and a $25 fee, Towle said. After applying, SUA must approve the group. The Graduate and Professional Student Assembly is the Univer sity’s graduate student gover nment. GAPSA’s purpose is to “advocate for,
represent and inform graduate and professional students,” as posted on their group website. The Minnesota Student Association is the undergraduate equivalent and holds public for ums and committee meetings. Spring graduate Sarah Abdelwahab said she made her strongest friendships through student groups. She worked her way up to vice president of Al-Madinah, the Muslim student cultural center. Abdelwahab found out about the group during the activities fair at Mariucci her freshman year. She then joined MSA. “Explore dif ferent groups,” Abdelwahab said. “Pick one or two you’re passionate about and stick with those.”

‘The most’ Minneapolis Minneapolis has made a name for itself in the rankings. BY SALLY HUNTER shunter@mndaily.com
Minneapolis came out on top among other cities when it came to being the most gay friendly, bike friendly, healthiest and most hipster in the nation this year. With endless bikeways and a huge cycling community, Bicycling Magazine named Minneapolis the number one bike city. The city is full of bike shops — Freewheel Bike Shop, Calhoun Cy-
cle, The Hub Bicycle Co-op,Penn Cycle and Fitness and Erik’s Bikes and Board to name a few. One shop, called One on One, is a combination of a bike shop, coffee house, restaurant and, at times, a galler y. The Twin Cities is also home to the expanding bike share system Nice Ride Minnesota, which allows users to rent bicycles at stations throughout the cities. Along with the best bicycling community, Minneapolis was named the most gay-friendly city by the Advocate, a nationwide gay news magazine. The magazine reviewed online dating profiles, the number of gay elected offi-
cials, lesbian bars and gay yellow page listings, among other criteria, to make the decision. The Lavender, Minnesota’s GLBT magazine, can be found throughout the Twin Cities. There are also several gay bars and night clubs around town, including the Saloon and the Gay 90s. Minneapolis sure played a role when Minnesota was rated the most hipster city according to BuzzFeed.com. The state had the highest number of searches for the term “hipster” throughout the country. The city embraces the “lumberjack look,” BuzzFeed reported. Plus, food coops, farmers’ markets and live theater
fill the state, keeping hipsters busy. Bike obsession and prominent musicians like Bob Dylan played into the rating system, along with the film Juno and its Minnesota setting. This year, the annual American Fitness Index ranked Minneapolis and its surrounding area as the No. 1 healthiest and fittest region in the nation. The study was based on obesity, percentage of people who exercise, number of smokers and number of parks, USA Today reported. Together, the rankings make Minneapolis a vibrant city that embraces the cycling community, the gay community, hipsters and health.

MIMO offers free furniture to students The Southeast Como-based “store” opens September 1. BY KAITLIN WALKER kwalker@mndaily.com
University of Minnesota Students who need to furnish an apartment can look no further than the Move-In/Move-Out Neighborhood Free Store in Southeast Como. MIMO offers students a chance to donate old furniture and small appliances, and take up to three large items, from furniture to microwaves, for free. The volunteer-run store opens Sept. 1 and will run Thursdays and Fridays for the first two weeks of September, and will wrap up at the Southeast Como Cookout on Sept. 18. MIMO, usually held at the University’s ReUse center, will be held in the Southeast Como Improvement Association’s parking lot at 1170 15th Ave. SE. A full schedule and a list of what will be accepted can be found on the neighborhood’s website Residents looking to donate items can fill out an online form for pickup, or can call SECIA to set up a time. The first free store was held on May 2010. SECIA has held MIMO twice since then, once in the fall of 2010 and again in the spring of 2011. SECIA started planning the free store six or seven years ago to deal with the large piles of garbage left on the streets by renters moving out at the end of their lease. Justin Eibenholzl, the environmental coordinator at SECIA, said the piles mostly consisted of reusable furniture and items, some of which were close to brand new. “They were tossed out because the lease ends and everything has to be out,” Eibenholzl said. “And the students there can’t find a friend, or roommate or some-
one else that wants it. A lot of the time it just got thrown out curbside.” The curbside piles were more than just a waste of reusable goods — they became a hazard for pedestrians, and attracted rodents, Eibenholzl said. MIMO has recycled more than 19,000 pounds of usable household items so far, and almost 2,200 people have visited the store. Eibenholzl said that anything left over at the end of the store is donated to other organizations, like the Universitys ReUse program. The store benefits more than just the students — long-term residents are able to donate locally, and the city has less garbage to pick up, Eibenholzl said “It saves everyone money,” Eibenholzl said. While anyone can shop at MIMO, SECIA does limit the number of items people can take. Eibenholzl said they implemented the limit to stop non-residents from bringing in trucks and loading up. “We want to tr y to have [the items] being reused locally,” Eibenholzl said. “Collected locally, reused locally; that’s the whole idea of this project.” SECIA was awarded $3,000 this year from the University’s Good Neighbor Fund, which Eibenholzl said will go toward renting the space and equipment, feeding volunteers and advertising. MIMO only has funding through the fall, but Eibenholzl said SECIA is looking to grow the store to several locations around the University and possibly keep it open year-round. “Who doesn’t love free stuff?” Eibenholzl said. “We like doing this. We’re going to try to look at ways to keep doing it, and we’re trying to figure out how to master doing it so it’s sustainable.”

Know your University administration BY EVELINA SMIRNITSKAYA esmirnitskaya@mndaily.com
With 18 schools and colleges and more than 51,000 students, the University of Minnesota can seem intimidating and complex. But like all large institutions, there is a method to its madness. The University, including the four other campuses, is headed by the president — the incoming president is Eric Kaler — who reports directly to the Board of Regents, the governing body. The board consists of 12 members elected by the Minnesota Legislature from each of the state’s eight congressional districts, along with four members representing the state at large. As the University’s head authority, the board creates all administrative,
academic and fiscal policies — from tuition costs to the student code of conduct. These policies provide the framework for the University’s function and all other administrative policies. The president is appointed by the board as the University’s top executive officer to oversee system-wide operations. There are 14 major administrative offices, all of which are split into smaller units. Here are a few that are important to know:
University Services Stating its purpose simply as “to make the University work,” University Services supervises operations on campus from facilities management to security. The units include University police, Parking and Transportation Services, campus housing, bookstores and capital projects. Simply put,
if its non-academic, University Services is probably in charge of it.
Office of Student Affairs A one-stop shop for all student services and programs, the OSA is a subdivision of the Academic Affairs and Provost’s office. The OSA works with student development, safety and health. Vice Provost for Student Affairs Jerry Rinehart and his team supervise student groups, the greek community, Boynton Health Service and more.
Office of Budget and Finance As the title suggests, each year this office is in charge as the University plans two separate budgets — overall operations, and building and facility improvement projects.
University Senate The University Senate deals with general educational and administrative questions and issues within the University, following the Board of Regents policies. It is headed by the University president, and consists of members of faculty and student senates, academic professionals and civil service staff.
Other Campuses While considered the flagship of the University, the Twin Cities is only one location of a five-campus system. Duluth, Crookston, Morris and Rochester schools all have chancellors who report to the president, who in turn reports to the regents. Coordination among the five campuses is ensured through the Office for Systems of Academic Administration.

U’s best study spaces BY KATHRYN ELLIOTT kelliott@mndaily.com
Engineer study spaces
The Minnesota Daily has compiled a list of study locations for the everyman as well as for the hardcore academic. Incoming students can test out the smorgasbord of study spots the University offers and learn what atmosphere — quiet, cluttered or quirky — gets their cranial jets puffing.
Kenneth H. Keller Hall has an open, three-level area with all sorts of furniture to suit your taste. The vending is overpriced, but it’s centrally located. Lind Hall’s old library is a large study room on the north wing of the first floor, with a stunning balcony and ballroom-type staircase. There are great study nooks. The Ackerman Hall Hangar is modern and sleek, with wide open spaces.
Medical study spaces
Quiet study spaces
Diehl Hall’s second floor has a few tables outside the library. It’s a good spot for reading. Outside In in the Phillips-Wangensteen Building near the tunnel offers food and some bustle if you need a break. Java City in the basement of Moos Tower combines the caffeine you need to get through a long day with just the right noise level.
Walter Library sub-basement features silence that makes you want to sneeze. Cellphone service is questionable but distractions are nonexistent. Nicholson Hall 1 features typical lounge seating, vending and wireless access. No windows. The (literally) shiny new Science Teaching and Student Services building has updated, pod-like chairs in unique configurations.
It has plenty of floors and lots of options.
Any ol’ study spaces Nolte Center 20 boasts real charm, with chandeliers and banisters for the classic minded. Tables and chairs abound, nes tled on rich, red carpet. Burton Hall is open late and is always empty. The main room has weird acoustics, tables and desks that can be pushed together. Plus there’s a bust of Burton himself. Coffman Union’s The Whole in the basement looks like a garage band lair because it is. Chalkboard walls, ’70s couches and a piano draw cool crowds.
Outdoor study spaces The Education Sciences Building over by the suspension bridge has upper-floor conference rooms that are first come, first serve. Check out the outside deck with iron tables and chairs and take in the river view. Take the elevator to the basement for cof-

Park yourself under a tree and open up your laptop. Outside McNamara Alumni Center is a great picnic and study spot. It has wide green spaces, benches and frequent foot traffic.
St. Paul study spaces Biological Sciences Center 15 is newly renovated with hard plastic chairs that will keep you focused. McNeal Hall 190 is ready for the all-nighters, providing microwaves, several couches, interesting light fixtures and windows. Borlaug Hall has an industrial, unapologetic feel. Its cement benches are carpeted, and the tables are mostly for one or two people.

Central Corridor light-rail construction comes to University In May, a section of Washington Avenue was permanently closed to personal vehicle traffic.
The roundabout at this intersection will be eliminated, and a stoplight will be added late this summer.
BY JOHN HAGEMAN jhageman@mndaily.com
The end of 2011’s spring semester marked the beginning of construction on the largest public works project in Minnesota’s histor y: The Central Corridor light-rail line.
The new line will connect downtown St. Paul to Minneapolis via Washington and University avenues. The first trains will start to roll in 2014. In mid-May, Washington Avenue — between Pleasant and Oak streets — was closed to traf fic, and buses were also rerouted around the construction.
The section of Washington Avenue between Pleasant and Walnut streets will eventually be transformed into a transit-pedestrian mall, and will be permanently closed to personal vehicle traffic. Here’s a more detailed look at what’s in store for campus this summer:
KEY Two-way traffic
One-way traffic
Closed to traffic
Expected increased traffic
Pedestrian crossing East Bank light-rail station
The intersection will be halved during construction, but will remain open to two-way traffic
The south side of the Washington Avenue Bridge will remain closed until late this year or early 2012.
Either the Harvard or the Walnut intersection will remain open at all times.

Where to find cheap theater fun People can still enjoy the delight of a theater production without putting huge dents in their wallets. BY MARK BRENDEN mbrenden@mndaily.com
To some fr eshmen, a theater might only be that place where you have popcorn-flavored make-out sessions while wearing 3D glasses. Others, however, may be in love with the beauty of a tragedy, the delight of a comedy and the romance of the stage. But as freshmen, the tragedy may come from a bank statement and the comedy from a meek wallet size. Not to worry, fledglings of the University, what follows is a short list of places where you can see a quality play on the cheap.
Mixed Blood Theatre 1601 S. Fourth St. Price: Free
The Southern Theater 1420 Washington Ave. S. Price: $12.50-$25
Positioned smack-dab in the middle of one of Minneapolis’ richest cultural districts, the Mixed Blood Theatre is just a stone’s throw away from campus. If you live in Middlebrook Hall, you’ve got it made. Star ting this year, Mixed Blood offers a rare first-come , first-ser ved admission policy. If you register online or in the lobby generally at least 30 minutes before the show, you’re looking at a free play. If you’re not a gambling frosh (as you shouldn’t be, save it for the quar ter-life crisis), and you want a sure-thing Mixed Blood fix, season passes are available for $60.
The Southern Theater, also on the West Bank (Middlebrook, you dogs!), is a tad pricier than Mixed Blood in that they do charge, but it’s wor th your money. They also are rare in that they spell “theater” the American way, so they get bonus points from Uncle Sam. Ticket prices usually range from $12.50-25, so you can easily take the cheap-seats option for a date for two. However, in this 21st century culture, social norms often don’t require one dater to shoulder the entire load, so a better seat may be affordable.
Bryant-Lake Bowl 810 W. Lake St. Price: $10 Bryant-Lake Bowl is a bit off the beaten path if you’re one who doesn’t like to leave campus. But, if that’s the case you oughta change your ways anyway. Believe it or not, there is a city that exists around you, one rich in art, culture and bowling. Br yant-Lake Bowl encompasses all those things. At the music-theater-bowling hub, there’s a new local production nearly every weekend, and you can usually catch one for $10. The bonus, of course, is that once you leave the aisles you can hit the lanes for some strikes, spares and turkeys ya turkeys.

Where to have the best sober night The Twin Cities offer a variety of places to enjoy a night out, even if you don’t want to drink. BY ANDREW PENKALSKI apenkalski@mndaily.com
The University of Minnesota has gotten pretty damn good at keeping your noses clean and tongues dr y prior to the start of the fall semester. That notso-subtle Welcome Week 2011 — full of early mornings and mandator y checkins — probably will keep you on a pretty short leash. It’s not much better in the dorms these days. Leaving the lobby of Territorial Hall on a Friday night can at times involve a search procedure similar to that of post-9/11 airpor ts. So if you find yourself utterly exhausted with fighting for your right to party, here are some of the best local spots where you can roll over in defeat.
Midnight Madness
Uptown Theatre; 2906 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis
Goldy’s Gameroom
Coffman Union; 300 Washington Ave. SE., Minneapolis
Comedy Sportz
3001 Hennepin Ave. S., Minneapolis
Just because you haven’t had a single drop of firewater doesn’t mean you don’t value the leisurely wee hours of the weekend. That’s why the Uptown Theatre keeps its reels spinning well past any multiplex offerings. Their Friday and Saturday midnight movies range from golden-era Hollywood classics to b-movie schlock. With a batch of horror films for October and monthly “Rocky Horror Picture Show” screenings, the Uptown Theatre will quench the thirst of any cinephile.
Goldy’s Gameroom has long been the campus sanctuar y and poster-locale for good, honest sobriety. It’s relentlessly promoted throughout orientations and campus tours as absolutely the most fun place ever. And it actually does promise a pretty good time at unquestionably reasonable rates. A game only costs a buck on Thursday. Their menu is unique enough to quell the boredom of dining hall burgers and salads. They also have board games available for free. But if you’re playing those it really probably is because you’re too broke to go out and drink.
Parties are easy. 19-year-olds can hoot and holler until the morning light peaks over TCF Bank Stadium so long as they have all the illicit fuel that was barely out of reach one autumn ago. Comedy Sportz takes the high road. Simply put, raunchy fun is easy fun. Good clean fun is harder. It is a balancing act that this improvisational group tackles each weekend. With an admirable lack of smut but wealth of humor, you may leave their Uptown location with an ache in your side. But at least it won’t be from drinking.

Music hotspots for the under-21 crowd By Raghav Mehta rmehta@mndaily.com
It’s just plain unfair. Your favorite band is headlining the Fine Line Music Cafe this Friday, but there’s a problem: You’re not 21 and your Alaskan-issued fake ID just hasn’t been as reliable as you’d hoped. Don’t fret, my child, not everything good and fun in this world is out of your reach. Minneapolis boasts plenty of 18+ hotspots for you newly independent city dwellers.
Varsity Theater 1308 Fourth St. SE, Minneapolis
Located in the heart of Dinkytown, the Varsity Theater is the premiere oncampus concert venue, and whoever does booking for them has good taste. In the past the Varsity has hosted shows for everyone from indie buzz bands like Surfer Blood and Best Coast to big-ticket comic sensations that include Michael Showalter and Adam Carolla. It’s accessible, affordable and there’s plenty of space. Check it out at least once this year.
Triple Rock Social Club 629 Cedar Ave., Minneapolis
OK, so you might not have the opportunity to (legally) experience Triple-Double Tuesdays for a few years, but not one of the West Bank’s Triple Rock shindigs car r y the dreaded 21-plus tag. The venue is a historic rite of passage for both local up-and-comers and breakthrough indie outfits. Recent shows include YACHT, Diamond Rings and the Smith Westerns.
Cedar Cultural Center 416 Cedar Ave., Minneapolis
Don’t let the cafeteria-meets-highschool-gymnasium turn you off. What the Cedar Cultural Center lacks in size and glamour it more than makes up for in diversity. Located just down the street from the Triple Rock in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the nonprofit theater is a 465-seat concert hall that promises a truly intimate musical experience.
First Avenue 701 First Ave., Minneapolis
Unless you’re a Top-40-only junkie, chances are at least one of your favorite bands will be headlining First Ave this year. Whether you’re looking to see progressive jamband rockers Umphrey’s McGee or local rhymeslayers like Brother Ali and Doomtree, the legendar y venue has been Minneapolis’ musical center for more than four decades.

FALL SPORTS ’10
BY DAILY SPORTS STAFF
T
he buzz around the fall sports scene on cam-
pus was dominated by the shor tcomings of the football team. Catch up on what you may have missed in the sports community last fall, with the Daily sports staff’s season recaps and previews.
After promising a “big name coach,” athletic director Joel Maturi hired former Northern Illinois head coach Jerr y Kill to take over the program, leaving many vocal Gophers fans outraged. However, the personable coach’s team-first approach, emphasis on discipline and the willingness to connect with fans seems to be a winning combination around campus and around the state. Junior MarQueis Gray will make his long-awaited debut as the starting quarterback. Gray brings elite athleticism to the position and will be instrumental if Kill’s run-heavy pistol offense is to be successful. The new Minnesota regime will be tested immediately, as the Gophers will travel to California in week one to take on perennial powerhouse USC in a nationally televised game.

C
Footbal
alling the 2010 Minnesota football season a disappointment would be understatement. After a season-opening victor y against Middle Tennessee State, the Gophers dropped four consecutive home games — none more embarrassing than a three-point loss to the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly D-1AA) University of South Dakota. A humiliating road loss to archrival Wisconsin dropped Minnesota’s record to 1-5 and led to speculation about the future of Tim Brewster as head coach of the Gophers. Brewster was fired after a Minnesota loss to Purdue, their sixth straight, and former assistant coach Jef f Hor ton was named interim head coach for the remainder for the season. Horton did well in leading the Gophers to consecutive victories over Illinois and Iowa to end the season, but Minnesota finished with a 3-10 record.
MEN’S C COUN ROSSTRY
A
fter suffering a collapsed lung in September and struggling in his recovery from a bum Achilles tendon, three-time All-American Hassan Mead was forced to sit out the entire cross-country season last year. Even without its marquee runner, the team rallied to finish third at the Big Ten Championships and third at the NCAA Midwest Region Championship, with the latter accomplishment earning the Gophers an at-large ber th in the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., where they finished 27th out of 31 teams. In Mead’s absence, senior Ben Blankenship stepped up as the Gophers’ most critical runner in 2010, earning All-America, All-Midwest Region and All-Big Ten First Team honors. Expect to see juniors Pieter Gagnon and Kevin Lachowitzer lead the way this year. The two fin-
ished 18th and 39th, respectively, in the 10-kilometer NCAA Midwest Region race to help the Gophers earn their trip to Terre Haute. The return of Mead for his final season of eligibility also could be a boon to the squad, who graduated top runners Blankenship and Mike Torchia.
Women ’s Coun Crosstry
A
fter earning All-America and First Team All-Big Ten honors as a junior last year, senior Stephanie Price will enter the 2011-12 season as the unquestioned leader of the Gophers’ women’s cross-country team. Behind the leadership of Price and head coach Gary Wilson, the team — coincidentally, just like their male counterparts — finished third at the Big Ten Championships, third at the NCAA Midwest Region and 27th at the NCAA Championships last year. Along with Price in 2010-11, redshir t freshmen Missa Varpness earned All-Big Ten Second Team and All-NCAA Midwest region honors, while true freshman Ashlie Decker finished 19th at the Big Ten Championships and 124th at the NCAA Championships. With such an abundance of young talent and Price leading the way, another strong showing likely lies ahead for the Gophers in 2011-12. Nikki Swenson, who has graduated and was a standout on the track, will return to the team as a graduate assistant coach in the fall.

SOCCE
L
ed by seventh-year coach Mikki Denney Wright, last year’s Gophers soccer team reached the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years — and the second time ever. The veteran-laden squad led the
Big Ten in goals (43), points (145) and assists (59). The team graduated seven seniors, but in February signed seven highpowered high school recruits for 20112012, including three All-Americans. Forward Taylor Uhl of Eden Prairie, Minn., headlines the star-studded incoming class. Look for Uhl, Minnesota’s Ms. Soccer and Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year, to make an immediate impact. “Hopefully we’re to the point where we don’t have to rebuild,” Denney Wright told the Daily after national signing day in February. “We want to just reload.”
VOLLEYBALL
I
n his 15th and final season with the Gophers, head volleyball coach Mike Hebert led the team to the NCAA tournament for the 14th time in 2010-11 before announcing his retirement in December. As the Minnesota’s head coach, Hebert finished 381-125, guiding the team to three Final Fours and one trip to the National Championship in 2004 against Stanford. In Febr uar y, the University named U.S. Women’s National Volleyball Team head coach Hugh McCutcheon as Hebert’s successor. Though officially the Gophers’ current coach, McCutcheon will continue to ser ve full-time as the U.S. national team’s coach through the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In the interim, Gophers assistant Laura Bush will act as Minnesota’s head coach. The team will lose last year’s senior leader Lauren Gibbemeyer and sophomore Tabitha Love, who transferred to UCLA. It will, however, feature 2010 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Jessica Granquist, senior setter Mia Tabberson and tough middle blockers Tori Dixon and Ariana Filho.

WINTER SPORTS ’11
BY DAILY SPORTS STAFF
T
here’s a lot going on in the winter sports scene on campus — so much that it’s easy to lose track. If you missed anything or are looking for a refresher, the Daily sports staff has assembled some season recaps and previews. Men’s Hockey
D
espite a bitterly cold winter, the Gophers men’s hockey season was relatively lukewarm last season. Though they won or tied 11 of their last 15 regular season games, the Gophers were upset in the first round of the WCHA playoffs by No. 8 seed University of Alaska-Anchorage, which beat Minnesota twice in a row at Mariucci Arena, abruptly ending the Gophers’ season. Minnesota finished the regular season 16-14-6 overall and 13-10-5 against the WCHA, good enough for fifth place against the conference. Though they played more consistent hockey in the second half of the season, the Gophers failed to reach the WCHA Final Five for the second straight year and missed the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season. To be fair, some of the factors which led to the team’s shortcomings were beyond the Gophers’ control and the team often played admirably, particularly during the second half of the season. Senior captain Jay Barriball missed a month with a leg injury and returned in the midst of a Gophers winning streak, only to see teammates Taylor Matson and Aaron Ness both go down with injuries of their own in Barriball’s first game back. When venerable goaltender Alex Kangas underwent season-ending knee surgery in January, Lucia called on junior Kent Patterson to step up and fill the void. Patterson answered, and his .926 save percentage was the best in the WCHA, and his goals-against the average of 2.31 was second-best. Patterson earned All-WCHA Second Team and team MVP honors for his efforts. Despite the team’s anticlimactic finish last year, with a recruiting class that includes Minnesota’s 2010 Mr. Hockey, Kyle Rau, and with Patterson and sophomore sensations Erik Haula and Nick Bjugstad returning, there are plenty of reasons to make the short trek from the superblock to Mariucci Arena this year.
Men’s Basketball
T
ubby Smith couldn’t have asked for a better start to his fourth year as head coach of the Gophers. And he certainly couldn’t have imagined a more horrific finish. Minnesota made a huge splash early in the season by winning the Puerto Rico Tip-Off in impressive fashion, with wins over then-highly-ranked teams North Carolina and West Virginia. Soon, the Gophers found themselves ranked as high as 14th nationally and appeared to be a lock for an NCAA Tournament berth, with a 16-4 record through 20 games. Then senior point guard Al Nolen suffered what proved to be a season-ending ankle injury in January against Michigan, and the downward spiral began. The Gophers dropped nine of their final 11 games and, not only failed to make the Big Dance but the far less prestigious National Invitational Tournament as well. Minnesota graduated starters Nolen and Blake Hoffarber, but All-Big Ten forward Trevor Mbakwe leads a group of returning contributors that will be joined by a talented recruiting class that includes Minnesota Mr. Basketball honoree Joe Coleman and Tennessee’s Mr. Basketball Andre Hollins. Minnesota could soon find itself near the top of the Big Ten, as top programs Purdue, Michigan State and Wisconsin all graduated some of the conference’s best players.
who, as a senior at Lakeville North High School, earned Miss Basketball Minnesota and Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year honors in 2011. Given these facts, Borton’s histor y of winning and the fact that the Gophers lost eight conference games by single-digit margins last year, things could be looking up for the team this year. Still, the amount of late-game collapses a season ago is disconcerting for the team. Buford’s play was one positive aspect of an otherwise-disappointing year for the Gophers in 201011. She led the Gophers in scoring with 14.9 points per game — good enough for ninth in the Big Ten — and scored her 1,000th career point on Feb. 17. Despite reaching this milestone, the Gophers — as they were wont to do last year — blew a secondhalf lead to lose the game to Northwestern. If the Gophers don’t want to repeat last year’s failures, they will have to learn how to close out games.
Women’s HOCKEY
O
ne of the premier programs in the nation, Minnesota fell short of its goal of a National Championship, losing to Boston College in the first round of last year’s NCAA Championships. The Gophers still finished second in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association behind Wisconsin. With only five seniors graduating from last year’s team, the Gophers should make another push at a National Championship behind All-American goalie Noora Räty.
Women’s basketball
I
n 2004, head coach Pam Borton led the Gophers women’s basketball team to its first Final Four appearance. Future WNBA All-Star Lindsay Whalen led the way, cementing herself a permanent spot in Minnesota basketball lore. For the team’s fans, that season probably seems like a lifetime ago. As the coach with the most wins in team history, Borton experienced her first two losing campaigns in the last two seasons since taking over as head coach in 2002. The team finished 13-17 in 2009-10 and 12-18 last year. Fans can take comfort, though, in the fact that this very young team will be led by All-Big Ten Honorable Mention award-winner Kiara Buford (the team’s only senior) and will feature freshman guard Rachel Banham,

WRESTLING
T
he Gophers enjoyed a successful 2010-11 campaign, spending the entire season ranked no lower than fifth nationally. Head coach J Robinson is very hesitant to call anything short of a national title a success, though. Having built the program, essentially, from scratch and turning it into a perennial powerhouse, Robinson was rewarded this past season with a five-year contract. Minnesota finished seventh at the 2011 NCAA National Championships, and five Gopher wrestlers earned All-America honors in 2010-11. Four of the aforementioned All-Americans will return to lead Minnesota in 2011-12 in the talented Big Ten Conference, including Zach Sanders (125 pounds), Sonny Yohn (197), Kevin Steinhaus (184) and Tony Nelson (heavyweight).

he defending Big Ten season and tournament champion Gophers baseball team entered the 2010-11 season with high expectations and without a home stadium. Due to the Dec. 12, 2010 collapse of the Metrodome’s Teflon cover and the decrepit state of the University of Minnesota’s Sieber t Field, the Gophers — ranked No. 1 in a Big Ten preseason coaches’ poll — were forced to shuffle their schedule two months before the start of the season. They moved some home games to the road, others to Target Field or Siebert Field (where they had not played since 2009) and canceled other home games altogether. It’s hard to quantify the extent to which the stadium issue af fected the team, which last year finished the regular season ranked fourth in the Big Ten and placed third in the conference tournament. Numerous rainouts and other weather cancellations also had an impact on the team’s staff and players who basically lived out of their suitcases for the season’s first eight weeks. Minnesota prides itself annually on pitching and defense and save for a few defensive lapses and bullpen gaffes, lived up to that expectation. It was the inconsistent of fense that was a burden and never really quite sustained the fortitude head coach John Anderson was looking for. The team’s top three hitters from last year (Justin Gominsky, A.J. Pettersen and Nick O’Shea) will all be seniors this year and have not indicated that they will not rejoin the team. Look for left-handed sophomore pitchers Tom Windle and D.J. Snelten to have expanded roles this season, possibly becoming star ters as the team addressed bullpen needs through
T
he Gophers men’s track team won its fifth conference title in a row at last year’s Big Ten Indoor Championships in Champaign, Ill. At the Outdoor Championships in Iowa City, Iowa, the team finished 2.5 team points shy of making it six in a row, placing second behind host Iowa. The team, led by four th-year head coach Steve Plasencia, who also has led the cross countr y team for 16 years, is a juggernaut in the Big Ten. Plasencia has said his goal is to entrench Minnesota as one of the most renowned and storied programs in the countr y. Some of the team’s returning stars include distance standouts Hassan Mead and Pieter Gagnon, 800-meter specialists Har un Abda and Nick Hutton and the formidable hammerthrowing duo of Micah Hegerle and Quentin Mege. Gophers track athletes who talked to the Minnesota Daily after their close second-place finish at the Big Ten outdoor meet expressed bitter disappointment over the seemingly impressive showing. Success has become a habit under Plasencia, so expect to see it this year.
WOMEN’s TRACK
E
ntering his sixth year as head coach of the Gophers women’s track team, Matt Bingle already has coached it to three Big Ten indoor titles. Like their male counterpar ts, the Gophers women hold themselves to a high standard, which was why their seventh-place showing at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships last year came as a surprise. Making the finish extra perplexing was the
fact that the team finished third at the conference indoor meet less than three months earlier. Whatever the reason for the disappointing outdoor meet, assistant coach Gar y Wilson — who was the team’s head coach for 21 years before passing the reins to Bingle — said adversity and disappointment simply come with the territor y and provide motivation to improve in the future. Keep an eye out for middle-distance speedster Alena Brooks and cross-countr y AllAmerican Stephanie Price, among others.
GOLF
T
he men’s team finished eighth at the Big Ten Championships last season but have lost the ser vices of senior standout Donald Constable to graduation. However, talented junior Erik van Rooyen returns and will look to lead the Gophers to success next season. The women’s team had a great 2011 campaign. After qualifying for the National Championships for only the second time in school histor y, it finished 19th making it the most successful season in the last 20 years. Unfortunately for Minnesota, it has lost its top four players to graduation, leaving the underclassman with a big load to shoulder in the upcoming year.

Freshman standout Sara Moulton earned 2011 Big Ten Freshman of the Year as well as All-Great Lakes Region honors.

Don’t engage in distracting activities such as texting or listening to your iPod while walking, especially at night, the University of Minnesota Police Department warns. Doing so makes you unaware of your surroundings and possible danger. “iPod nanos are distractions to people,” University police Deputy Chief Chuck Miner said. “Listening to music while walking down the street and while doing a text message to your friend” makes a student susceptible to robbery. The University has its own police force, an escort service available 24/7 and more than 1,200 security cameras. The University is equipped with 21
Code Blue Emergency phones across the East Bank, West Bank and St. Paul campuses. The phones connect directly to a 911 operator on campus who sends an officer to the scene within 90 seconds. The phones emit a bright, flashing light when used so the responder can find the caller easily. When securing a bicycle, a U-lock is far more secure than a cable or chain lock, Miner said. “Very few bikes are stolen when they are locked with a U-shaped lock,” Miner said. “It’s very hard to get through those locks.” Students should not leave their laptops unattended, and should always plan for the worst-case scenario, Miner said. Most thefts on campus take place in public areas, such as libraries, “where the students go to the restroom and they leave their laptop unattended on a desk, and come back and it’s gone,” Miner said, adding that this type of theft is simple for criminals. Students who want to ensure their
computer is recovered if it is stolen can install tracking software such as Computrace LoJack. The service tracks a stolen laptop when it connects to the Internet and works with local police to recover it. The University of Minnesota Bookstore sells a two-year subscription to the service for about $80. “We have had some successful cases of laptops being recovered when students and others have had the software installed on it,” Miner said. When walking on or off campus at night, it’s important to walk with others, drive or use the University’s free escort service, Miner said. “We never had a person be the victim of a crime when they are being escorted by a student security monitor,” Miner said. “It’s a good service.” Although sexual assaults are rare, the University sees about four to six per year, Miner said. The majority of the sexual assault victims are acquaintances of the
offenders, he said. Use “good judgment about your socializing,” University police Chief Greg Hestness warned in a YouTube video in which he gave campus safety tips. Hestness also said students should avoid overconsuming alcohol and recommended that groups of friends designate a sober chaperone when they go out. The University’s Gopher Chauf fer service, formerly the MSA Express, operates Friday and Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Students on campus or in the surrounding neighborhoods can call the free transportation ser vice for rides home. To stay up-to-date on what is happening on campus, students can register for TXT-U, the University’s emergency notification text messaging system. Despite events that make people believe the contrar y, the University “is a safer place than what most people think it is,” Miner said.

How to navigate the University of Minnesota Students have a variety of options, including riding the bus, riding a bicycle, walking or driving. BY aSHLEY bRAY abray@mndaily.com
Let’s face it: The University of Minnesota is a big place. With more than 51,000 students, it’s one of the largest public universities in the nation — so navigating campus for the first time may feel daunting. But never fear, first-years, the University’s Parking and Transportation Services has devised an easy and effective four-point approach to address students’ transportation needs. The first option is simply to hoof it. More than 40 percent of undergraduate students walk to campus. Not only is it beneficial to students’ health, but walking is environmentally sound. In case of rain or snow, students can take advantage of the Gopher Way, the University’s tunnel and skyway system, by simply looking for signs that say “Gopher Way.” Students can also pick up a campus walking map at the Coffman Memorial Union Information Desk and at other places around campus. Option two: bus. The University’s Campus Shuttles are free and run between the East and West banks, the St. Paul campus and other places such as Seven Corners in the Cedar-Riverside area. The shuttles are easily identified by their maroon and gold exteriors. The Twin Cities has an expansive transit system in place for students who live off-campus. The U-Pass is a discounted, reloadable bus pass just for students that can be used for unlimited bus or light-rail rides throughout a semester. While Metro Transit is the largest provider, there are many buses running to and from the various suburbs that surround the city, PTS spokeswoman Jacqueline Brudlos said. Students living off campus can commute to one of many park-and-rides and taking a bus to campus from there.
Students interested in taking the bus can plan their routes by visiting metrotransit.org and using the “trip planner,” Brudlos said. Many students value the transit system at the University. Laura Stone, a doctoral student, recommends taking the city bus or the campus connector. “It’s good for the environment,” she said, “and pretty easy to get around.” But students should be prepared to make room on the bus when it gets crowded during the winter, which often means standing in the aisle between the seats.
“Cyclists fare best when they act as drivers of vehicles, and need to follow the same rules that a vehicle does.” Steve Sanders PTS administrative professional
Many consider biking to be the best option to get to class on time, and it’s third in PTS’s four-pronged approach to transportation. Between 5,500 and 6,000 students bike to class on any given day, Steve Sanders, a PTS administrative professional said. There are 6,500 bike racks on campus to accommodate bicyclists. The University works with city officials to provide thousands of trails, paths and lanes throughout campus and Minneapolis. During the summer of 2010, the University will work with the city to improve access routes to campus and will add additional bike lanes, Sanders said. The University will implement changes in time for fall classes that will cater especially to bicyclists. One of the most noteworthy changes will be the addition of a bike center in the Oak Street Parking Ramp. Paying members can use the center’s amenities, such as showers and a bike repair shop, and attend educational classes u See Transportation Page 8

There’s plenty to see in the Twin Cities Students can explore the Twin Cities’ endless number of cultural and recreational offerings. BY TARA BANNOW tbannow@mndaily.com
Welcome to Minneapolis! Your new (or perhaps old) home is brimming with places to explore. Don’t be afraid to venture off campus to some of the landmarks that have made this city the famous metropolitan destination it is today. The options are endless, but to name a few:
The Mill District This hodgepodge of delights just northeast of downtown Minneapolis includes theater, scener y, histor y and an expansive market. Having moved to its new location on the Mississippi River in 2006, the
Guthrie Theater has added a wealth of culture to the district. A longtime highlight of the city’s theater community, the Guthrie includes three stages and has held plays like “Hamlet,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “A Christmas Carol” and model pieces. The area is characterized by the historic Stone Arch Bridge, constructed in 1883 to connect the city’s flour mills with wheat from Midwestern farmers. The bridge is adjacent to St. Anthony Falls, the only major water fall on the Mississippi River. Visitors can also explore the Mill City Museum, which provides an interactive look into the city’s historic flour milling industry, all within a renovated eight-story flour mill with flour bins, milling machinery and an engine house still intact. The Mill City Farmers Market, held Saturdays near the riverfront, offers a variety of locally-grown produce and other goods.
Minnehaha Falls
With more than 180 parks, Minneapolis locals have little trouble finding the one closest to them for a picnic or a jog. But those who prefer a more scenic experience might travel to the city’s majestic Minnehaha Falls. The 53-foot waterfall is located in the heart of Minnehaha Park, one of the city’s oldest parks. The 193-acre tract features an array of limestone bluffs and scenic views from above the river. Explorers of the park will run into several sculptures, including a giant mask of Chief Little Crow, the Sioux leader who lived in the Mille Lacs region. Visitors to Minnehaha Park can take in a concert, have a picnic or play disc golf or volleyball.
Target Field Maybe you’ve heard about the city’s newest shining star, Target Field. The new home of Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins, this decked-out facility is a far
cry from its predecessor, the Metrodome. This April marked the first outdoor Twins game since 1981. With seating for 39,504 people, the $500 million stadium holds a few thousand fewer people than the Metrodome, which held 55,300 at its peak. Students traveling to see the Twins will have a number of transpor tation options, including about 20,000 parking spaces, several bus routes or a light-rail stop that will eventually go straight to the ballpark. Those who built the venue didn’t skip the details. With its Minnesota limestone, canopy to shade the upper deck seating, Kentucky bluegrass and even spruce trees, Target Field boasts an array of delicacies for the senses. Expect the team on the field to be pretty good, too. Baseball experts have said that come September, the Twins should be right in the thick of the playoff hunt. u See landmarks Page 8

about biking, Brudlos said. Another change catering to cyclists will be the addition of the citywide bike share program sponsored by Nice Ride Minnesota. The program will feature 10 kiosks around campus and more throughout the city where members can pick up a bike, ride to another kiosk and drop it off. The program is slated to run until October each year. Students who bike on campus, however, should be aware of their actions and know the rules of the road, Sanders said. “Cyclists fare best when they act as drivers of vehicles,” he said, “and need to follow the same r ules that a vehicle does.” The final transpor tation option for students is to drive their cars to campus. While the University encourages students to leave their cars at home, there are several parking options around campus.
Landmarks u from Page 6
Midtown Global Market At night, a neon green “MIDTOWN” sign in the heart of south Minneapolis marks the Midtown Global Market. The market boasts an array of cultural offerings that’s as diverse as the city it resides in. It’s an indoor market featuring a variety of fresh and prepared foods, restaurants and international crafts. The goods, sold by locally owned and independent businesses, originate from places like Mexico, Italy, the Middle East, Scandinavia, Asia, East Africa, Tibet and across the United States. The creators of the Global Market designed it to facilitate interactions between the customers and the vendors, providing each with a rich cultural experience. For students, the Global Market offers an invaluable opportunity to expand their minds — and their bellies.
Survival Guide 2010 Students who drive must first get a parking contract, Brudlos said. Parking contracts are awarded to students through a random online lotter y that students can enter at parklot.umn.edu. A motorist assistance program is available to anyone who is legally parked at a University meter, lot or garage. If students have a flat, need a jump or lock their keys in their car, the University’s motorist assistance program will take care of it for free. Students who choose to drive should not park in the garages or ramps, because they charge by the hour and are too expensive, Brudlos said. Instead, she recommends that students park in the daily lots around campus, including the lot by the fairgrounds, which costs $3.75 per day. No matter what method of transportation students choose, they should always put safety first, Brudlos said. “The most impor tant thing is to always be aware of your surroundings,” she said. —Miranda Taylor contributed to this report.
The lakes One doesn’t need to travel too far from campus to visit some of the city’s most vibrant lakes, bustling with bikers, windsur fers, swimmers, joggers and volleyball players. Perhaps the most sought-after destination is Lake Calhoun. The popular hangout near Uptown is a member of the city’s Chain of Lakes — a collection of five lakes that together drew more than 5.5 million visitors in 1999 — making it the second most popular visitor’s destination after the Mall of America. Lake Calhoun is surrounded by three miles of bike and pedestrian paths. It’s a popular spot for fishing, picnics, soccer, softball and even archery. Boasting 67 acres of land and 344 acres of water, Lake Harriet is a picturesque spot known for its summer concerts held in the park’s band shell. The lake is surrounded by bike and pedestrian paths and visitors can rent a number of contraptions to cruise around in, including scooters, kayaks, canoes, bumper boats and bikes.

Get out of your dorm and eat some real food —An expert guide to your eating needs BY RAGHAV MEHTA rmehta@mndaily.com
After nearly two decades of sordid school lunches and home-cooked dinners, taking responsibility for your daily diet can be a daunting task. And let’s face it: The novelty of dorm food wears thin quickly, and one can only consume so much Ramen and microwavable popcorn before internally combusting. But don’t fret, my children, because our sprawling Minneapolis campus offers a wide selection of restaurants for the uninspired or just plain stovetop-less first-years like you.
Loring Pasta Bar 327 14th Ave. SE Located in the heart of Dinkytown, the cozy elegance of the Loring Pasta Bar is an affordable and comfortable escape for newcomers. Loring’s menu is brimming with rich Italian entrees that include seafood spaghetti, cheese tortellini and portabella-based pasta dishes. Live music throughout the week and Saturday salsa dancing enlivens Loring’s atmosphere, making for an experience that is as delicious as it is entertaining. If that’s not enough, it’s rumored that Bob Dylan lived in an upper-floor apartment there in the early 1960s when the building housed Gray’s Drug.
Red Sea 320 Cedar Ave. If you’re willing to venture a little further from the safe confines of Stadium Village and Dinkytown, amble on over to Cedar-Riverside to
find an area filled with music venues, restaurants and bars. The Red Sea restaurant and bar is a local favorite, known for scrumptious Ethiopian finger food such as beef, chicken and fish cotelettes, as well as numerous vegetarian dishes. For those less daring, the Red Sea also offers hamburger and turkey sandwiches as well as (gasp) spaghetti! Like Loring Pasta Bar, the Red Sea also features live music.
Wally’s Falafel and Hummus 423 14th Ave. SE For you fiscally strained first-years, a pricey night out at a restaurant may not be your first choice. Luckily, Wally’s in Dinkytown is an accessible Middle Eastern eatery serving everything from hummus and deluxe falafels to chicken kabobs. Be sure to check out the chicken shawarma, a pocket bread delight stuffed with fried potatoes, spiced chicken and pickles, topped with garlic sauce. Wally’s items come at a reasonable price, with appetizers as low as $2.99 and sandwiches no higher than $4.99.
Hard Times Café 1821 Cedar Ave. With an affable ambience, fair trade coffee and high abundance of vegan and vegetarian food, the West Bank’s Hard Times Café is a Minneapolis hipster mecca. Hard Times is great for those looking for a cheap bite to eat or those who just want to sip on some coffee. It’s only closed between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., so there’s plenty of time to swing by to get your veggie or vegan fix.

An insider’s guide to local art BY BECKY LANG · blang@mndaily.com
Congratulations! You are going to college in a city with not only a thriving underground art scene, but also with enough big-name museums to keep bus-loads of school kids gazing at Monet haystacks for decades. Sure, there’s the Walker Art Center, where you can look at contemporary art, catch festivals of obscure films and stroll outside under a giant cherry spoon, and sure, there’s the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, packed with ancient Chinese jade sculptures and a few naked Greek statues, but we’re not going to worry about those. We’re going to clue you in on what you might not find while reading the Lonely Planet guide to Minneapolis.
The best place to see installation art you won’t believe
The Soap Factory on St. Anthony Main is literally a remodeled Soap Factory, complete with enough spooky, old-timey
lore that they produce arguably the scariest haunted house in town every Halloween. Their expansive space is twice that of other galleries within its smaller budget category, requiring art that leaves the 2-D realm and incorporates itself with its pipes and natural internal structure. The result ranges from ethereal to gothic twee, with chandeliers made of candy next to freakish light bulbs with plants crawling out of their centers.
The best art hipster hangout The Q.arma Building in northeast Minneapolis is one of the best places to spend your Saturday night. Start with an exhibition opening at Altered Esthetics, a gallery which houses contemporary art focused on street art, comic art and digitally-inspired art. Upstairs from Altered Esthetics are two screen printing studios to get to know, stat. The first is Anthem Heart, a multi-media group that throws
music events, creates psychedelic videos and makes ’80s-inspired T-shirts for you to take home. Their parties often go late into the night, allowing art fans to sip a vodka Red Bull, check out the latest band and doodle on a collaborative graffiti poster all at once. Their next-door neighbor is noteworthy fellow screen printer Kevin Hayes, a.k.a. LovelyMpls.
The best place to get involved
The 1419 on Washington Avenue South is a student-run art collective that welcomes collaborative events that you can cook up yourself and pitch to the artists in residence. To get involved, become a fan of the 1419 on Facebook and receive invites to their many themed exhibitions and parties. To visit, walk around to the back of the building. When you see a bunch of straightoutta-high school kids smoking cigarettes and freestyle rapping, you’ve found it. A&E

Go beyond the big museums and check out the best of the underground art scene. recommends checking out the roof for a romantic view of Minneapolis.
The best hidden plethora of art
Forget shopping at North Face or Urban Outfitters in Uptown. The best place for original gifts is in the artist studios, of which there are hundreds. Minneapolis’ arts district is located in Northeast, spanning from Surdyk’s to Psycho Suzi’s, while St. Paul’s is in the Lowertown part of downtown. Check out Northeast’s First Thursdays and Lowertown’s First Fridays, when visitors can peek inside the studios and shop around. In Minneapolis, start with the Northrup King Building, which will keep you busy for hours, and in St. Paul, the Northern Warehouse Building is an A&E favorite. —For more info about local art events, check out mnartists.org.

When you’re living in Minneapolis, it’s best to buy your music like you buy your food: locally. The sooner the better for you to realize that going to a rambunctiously priced U2 show at a rambunctiously sized stadium when there’s a show at brosky’s basement for five bucks is the same as reaching for a Heineken case when the Grain Belt is plentiful. What follows is a list of four of Minneapolis’ most stellar bands, chosen with the assumption that you’re plenty aware of P.O.S., Mark Mallman, Jeremy Messersmith, Midwest supergroup Gayngs, as well as all of the other faces on The Current’s radiotelographic Mount Rushmore. Of course, the allotted space is not sufficient to do the vast and talentheavy spectrum of Minneapolis music justice, but it is enough to get your firstyear rump a-groovin’ on the right track.
if to say, “I know something you don’t know.” The players aren’t overwhelmingly intimidating (they’re actually nice dudes), but these tunes could kick your ass up and down the street — or, at the very least, make you listen up.
Chelsea Boys
Velvet Davenport
If you find yourself standing still at a Chelsea Boys show, either you have no ears or you have no soul. Wild, reckless and belligerently shirtless, these dancepunkers (for lack of a worse term) are the champions of the party. Their rowdy, electrically charged ho-downs are the stuff over which authorities get called. And for ladies who like skinnyjeans-men, they’re pretty sexy, too.
These Ariel Pink-endorsed psychpoppers are a rare example of a local band that has grazed the pastures of national acclaim but hasn’t abandoned their old terra firma. For example, they have a show in Brooklyn on June 18, but on June 27 it’s home sweet home for a show at The Triple Rock Social Club. Their melodies are entrancing — mystical as a dream and lucid as a creek. Don’t pass up a chance to see these guys, who may just be the best band in Minneapolis.
Leisure Birds Perhaps the biggest draw to these psychedelic-tune pounders is just how comfortable they appear in their own skin. Everything about them — their truck-driver appearance, their ain’t-thatAmerica moustaches, their Kinks-meetSteppenwolf tunes — is completely unabashed. Singer (and Gayngs member) Jake Luck’s sardonic wails jeer and sneer atop the meat-and-potato rhythms as
Black Blondie With whispers of “make soulful music” seemingly seeping from the soil of indie music in 2010, Black Blondie has keener ears than just about anyone. Singer Samahra’s deeply lush and thick vocals could fill the Coliseum, while the feetshuffling rhythm section (self-dubbed “Lil’ Black Blondie”) could get gladiators to do the electric slide.

Fitness around the U: Not all dumbbells and deltoids Staying fit around campus goes beyond the gym. BY Ian Larson ilarson@mndaily.com
Whether you’re looking to avoid the “Freshman 15” or simply to find a place to play ball, facilities on and off campus can meet your exercise needs. University of Minnesota students looking to pump some iron or run on treadmills and ellipticals will find a home at the University Recreation Center on the East Bank. All fee-paying students have memberships to the gym and its basketball courts and swimming pool. For those looking to extend their high school sports days or pick up new athletic hobbies, intramural leagues may be an outlet. A dozen intramural leagues, from the $1,600-per-team full-checking hockey league to the $10 racquetball tournament, run throughout the semester. “There’s a lot of different sports,” said Andrea Grams, who works for Intramural Sports, a program within the University’s Department of Recreational Sports. “Just about any individual could probably find something.” More than 6,400 students registered for intramurals in the fall of 2009, Grams said. Students must register as a team, but those who cannot dress a full squad can also register individually for free agent teams with other individuals and groups. Many free agent teams “have gone on to form teams for the following season,” Grams said. Students registering as free agents pay a flat rate of $10 in all sports except the checking hockey league, she said.
Need a little incentive to get out and get moving? University studies have shown that exercise increases students’ ability to stay focused and may be correlated with better grades. So you may want to check out the more than 20 physical education courses, from broomball to scuba diving, which the University will offer in the fall of 2010. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that Americans perform at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise as often as five times per week. A 2009 survey of 10,000 students by Boynton Health Service found that nearly half of Minnesota college students were overweight, despite its findings that more than 60 percent of students reached the CDC-recommended levels of activity. Physical activity isn’t all barbells and bench presses. If treadmills and weights leave the outdoorsman in you feeling blue, the University Center for Outdoor Adventure runs a 25-foot climbing wall in the St. Paul Gymnasium and a free bouldering wall in the basement of the East Bank’s Recreation Center. A single trip to the climbing wall costs $4, but a 15-week climbing pass is $25. The group also organizes dayto week-long hiking, dog-sledding or canoeing trips throughout the semester. Past destinations include the Minnesota Boundary Waters, Glacier National Park and the Scottish Highlands. Danielle Diessner, a graphic design major who works for the COA, said that many people who go on the trips have little or no experience outdoors. “We encourage anybody who’s ever been curious or doesn’t have a social network to go camping with to call us,” Diessner said. “That’s who we’re kind of there for.”

Sports outlook and review: Fall Even before students begin streaming on campus this September, University of Minnesota sports teams will have begun their pursuit of pride and glory on the playing field. In your time on campus, it’s all but required that you cheer on Tubby Smith and the men’s basketball team at Williams Arena, take in a match of the University’s impressive volleyball team and watch outdoor football at TCF Bank Stadium in its sophomore year. Here’s a recap of how the Golden Gophers did last season and what to look for in 2010-11.
Football
In its first season back on campus since 1981, the Gophers had a somewhat
mediocre year under third-year head coach Tim Brewster, finishing 6-7 overall and 3-5 in the Big Ten, culminating in a 14-13 loss at the Insight Bowl against Iowa State. Minnesota started the year out with an overtime victory in Syracuse and a 20-13 win over Air Force to christen TCF Bank Stadium on September 12. But the Gophers struggled against the Big Ten’s elite, scoring a combined seven points against Ohio State, Penn State and Iowa. Minnesota’s all-time leading receiver senior Eric Decker had his career ended early with a foot injury in Ohio State. He would go on to get drafted in the third of the NFL draft round
by the Denver Broncos. Brewster brought in Jef f Horton as co-offensive coordinator — after Jedd Fisch left for the NFL and the Seattle Seahawks — with an immediate focus on fixing the Minnesota offense, which was last in the Big Ten. With a tough non-conference schedule next season and several key departures last season, Sporting News has Minnesota ranked as the No. 98 team in the nation.
Soccer
After an unlikely r un through the NCAA tournament two years ago, which ended in a 1-0 overtime lost to No. 1 Notre Dame, the Gophers had a decent 2009 season, finishing
12-5-3 and narrowly missing the NCAA tournament. This season will likely be defined, one way or another, by the notably difficult schedule the Gophers will play. In their 20 games they will face (going on 2009 results) 10 NCAA tournament qualifiers, five conference champions, four conference runners-up, and 12 away games. They open the season Aug. 20 against, fittingly, Notre Dame. The Gophers will return all 11 starters from 2009.
Volleyball
The volleyball team made it all the way to the NCAA semifinals last season for the first time since 2004, only to be defeated by Texas in three sets. The
Gophers finished the year at 289 and ranked No. 4. The team experienced a mid-season hurdle when junior Brook Dieter, who at the time was leading the team in kills, abruptly quit the team. But the team recovered in time for a NCAA tournament run. Junior Laura Gibbemeyer finished the season with a team record 181 blocks as well as 161 block assists. Senior Christine Tan finished her career second in Gophers history with 1,927 digs. The team finished the season at 15-5 in the Big Ten, good enough for third place behind Illinois and NCAA champion Penn State. — Daily sports staff

Sports outlook and review: Winter Men’s basketball
After bringing in a top-25 recruiting class in 2009, according to Rivals. com, the Gophers could be without several of those top recruits. Freshman Royce White, who came to the Gophers as one of the top recruits in the nation and was expected to be a main contributor, withdrew from the program after legal troubles. St. Paul native Trevor Mbakwe, who originally went to Marquette and transferred to the Gophers from a Miami community college, sat out the entire season due to pending legal issues stemming from an assault charge in Miami, which remain unresolved. Point guard Justin Cobbs transferred to the University of California to be closer to his home in Los Angeles and consistent of f-the-bench forward Paul Carter. While not a part of the 2009 recruiting class, Carter transferred to the University of Illinois at Chicago to be closer to his family while his sister battles cancer.
Women’s basketball To say the Gophers women’s basketball 2009-10 season was anything other than a disappointment would be misleading. The team finished 1317 for head coach Pam Borton, its first losing season in nine years and first under Borton. Minnesota made an early exit in this year’s Big Ten tournament, losing to Penn State in the first round. On the positive side, leading scorer Kiara Buford returns for next season as a junior and will attempt to turn the team’s fortunes around.
Women’s hockey The Minnesota women’s hockey team fell just shor t of its NCAA
championship aspirations in March, falling to in-state rival MinnesotaDuluth in the semifinals of the NCAA Frozen Four at Ridder Arena. Ranked as No. 2 in the countr y for most of the season and No. 1 for a short time, the Gophers overcame the losses of their top-three goal scorers from the previous season with the emergence of junior Emily West and a strong defense led by First Team All-Americans Anne Schleper and Noora Räty.
Men’s hockey The 2009-10 Gophers men’s hockey season was marked by inconsistent play that failed to back up lofty expectations. Minnesota finished the year 18-19-2 [12-14-2 in the WCHA], for the first losing season since 1997-98. The program has been so strong for so long that it was just the 16th losing season in the program’s 89-year history. The MVP of the team, Tony Lucia, son of head coach Don Lucia, is graduating and the Gophers will look to fill the scoring he provided. Lucia tallied a team-leading 28 points on the year.
Wrestling The 2009-10 Gophers wrestling team enjoyed a successful season, finishing second in the Big Ten tournament to perennial powerhouse Iowa. The team was lead by two outstanding seniors, Jayson Ness and Dustin Schlatter. Ness finished the season undefeated and received the Hodge Trophy as well as Big Ten wrestler of the year, winning a national title in the process. — Daily Sports Staff

Golf
Softball
After starting the season at a disappointing 9-17, the University of Minnesota baseball team was able to turn around its season in time to win the Big Ten regular season title with a 15-9 conference record on the final day of the season in a 4-3 win over Ohio State. The Gophers then swept the Big Ten tournament, beating Iowa 15-5 in the championship to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. While the Gophers will likely lose pitcher Seth Rosin and outfielder Mike Kvasnicka to the MLB draft, the Gophers will return many of their starters next season.
In what would be director of golf Brad James’ final year with the Gophers, the men’s golf team struggled mightily, failing to win a tournament and finishing last in two separate tournaments. The team also finished eighth at the Big Ten championships. After three seasons of overseeing both the men’s and women’s golf programs, James took a position with Golf Australia effective at the end of the season. While the men struggled all season, the women set new lows in stroke average (75.95) and combined score (303.8). The team finished seventh at the Big Ten championships.
For the first time in almost two decades, the Gophers softball program is searching for a new coaching staff. Athletics Director Joel Maturi announced in late May that he will not renew the contracts of co-head coaches Lisa Bernstein and Julie Standering, which expire June 30. He cited a need for new leadership for the struggling program, particularly after a dismal 2-17, lastplace finish last season — their fourth bottom-three finish in six years. A nationwide coaching search has begun, Maturi said.
Track
The Gophers men’s track
and field team has been on a tear since head coach Steve Plasencia took over two years ago. He has led the team to four straight Big Ten titles — two indoor and two outdoor. The current team is a blend of upperclassmen leadership and promising youth. The women str uggled a bit during the indoor season, finishing 39th in the countr y at the NCAA championships. They had a more impressive outdoor season, finishing second in the Big Ten at the Big Ten championships.
Tennis
The men’s tennis team pl a yed a br u tal 2009- ’10 schedule, playing 20 of its 25
matches against ranked opponents. They managed to eek out a 14-11 record, with all 11 losses coming to teams in the top 30. They will be led this season by seniors Sebastian Gallego and Tobias Wernet, who each had 20 victories last season. The women’s team finished a disappointing 10-14 overall, and 3-7 in the Big Ten, but spent the entire season in the national rankings, playing a dif ficult schedule and losing six of its matches by a score of 4-3. They will be led this season by senior Alessandra Ferrazzi, who lead the team with 24 wins at singles and 21 wins at doubles. — Daily Sports Staff.

Our 2011 “Best of MSU” tabloid is the result of an ongoing effort to develop a well-known annual “best of” event for the college student demographic. Back in 2010, one of the special sections we targeted for improvement was a tabloid called “The Ultimate Everything.” It was meant to be a “best of” issue, but the name didnʼt convey that to our readers or to our advertisers, so we changed the name, and created “The Standardʼs “Best of MSU.” The new name clearly conveyed to readers and advertisers what the issue was about, and it branded the tabloid with the name of the college, allowing us to borrow brand equity from Missouri State University. Our strategy for this annual tabloid is to create excitement on campus and among our advertisers about who the winners will be each year. We create voting categories in order to (1) make the information useful to our readers and (2) increase the number of advertisers or potential advertisers who could win. For example, instead of a “best bar” category, we included “best beer specials,” “best happy hour” and “best bar food.” Instead of “best bookstore,” we included “best place to buy textbooks” and “best place to sell textbooks.” We included categories specific to campus, such as “best place to eat on campus” or “best campus/student ministry.” And we included categories that let people vote for their favorite teams, Greek organizations and service organizations, too. We used a free online survey tool to create our “Best of MSU” survey. The questions were completely open-ended, and we did not suggest any answers—just “fill-in-the-blank” format. In order to encourage students to vote, we offered a prize: A $50 gift card good at MSU Bookstore. Everyone who voted was given the option of providing their MSU email address in order to be entered into the drawing for the gift card. (We promised not to use their email address for any other purpose.) The survey was available online for three weeks, and during that time we promoted it in print, on our website and on our Twitter and Facebook pages. We also encouraged our advertisers to promote it on their Twitter and
Facebook pages so they could suggest that customers vote for them. Results were tabulated by on online survey tool. The results of the survey helped us in two ways: First, when an advertiser won in a category, it gave our ad sales reps tangible proof that the advertiserʼs message is getting through on campus—proof that they share with their clients. And second, when a business thatʼs not an advertiser won a category, we know thatʼs someone we need to contact in the future about advertising with us. Itʼs not a “you won, now you have to advertise” thing—but itʼs a valuable tool for our sales team. Winners and runners-up in each category received a framed certificate that they can hang in their store to let customers know they were chosen as the “Best of MSU.” Businesses like the recognition. Some businesses have two certificates now, one from 2010 and one from 2011, and theyʼre anxious to keep their streak going. And, of course, we like that The Standardʼs “Best of MSU” logo is on display in businesses all over Springfield, all year long. It helps define our brand: Weʼre the resource for college students who need information about campus life, and weʼre the place for businesses to connect with their college-student customers. Sales for the 2011 issue were $10,890.50, up 182% from 2010 sales, which were $3855.00. (Sales for 2010 increased 166% over 2009ʼs “Ultimate Everything, which was $1,445.50.) Weʼve taken this special section from $1,445.50 to $10,890.50 in two years! In 2011, we wanted to increase revenue, build on the foundation we created by rebranding this special section in 2010, and grow the “Best of MSU” so that readers and advertisers anticipate each year. Our goals for next yearʼs issue (in addition to increasing revenue) is to continue to increase the number of voters, continue to increase advertiser participation in recruiting voters, and to include advertorials as part of our sales package.

Best Sales Increase of a Special Section Homecoming Guide In 2010, the homecoming edition was just a handful of ads that paid for placement on pages with homecoming themed content. Over the last year it has transformed into its own section complete with editorial content centered around homecoming events and the football team. This special section got readers excited for the homecoming game and informed students about the different events that would occur throughout homecoming week. It reflected on previous years and what 'homecoming' means to students and alumni. This section was also an opportunity for local businesses to show their support for the MSU and the MSU football team. What Made the Difference? Team competition and a bit of fun. The account executives had been working hard to sell three different promotions at the same time. The advertising manager thought it would be good to dedicate a specific day to focus on individual promotions and create some competitions to make the day fun while still selling ads. Thus, we created the TSN Tailgate Day. The day began with a team spirit competition; the whole department was divided into teams of five and they came into the office dressed in their best MSU football apparel; they were decked out with their beads and foam Sparty hats. The professional staff judged which team had the most â&#x20AC;&#x153;team spiritâ&#x20AC;? and that team won a small prize. The advertising manager challenged the staff to see which team could pitch the Homecoming Guide to the most clients in one afternoon. Throughout the morning, teams spent time searching for suitable prospects, calling to set up meetings for that afternoon and devising routes to cover the most ground. After a short lunch break, complete with hot dogs off the grill, the teams took to the streets to pitch the Homecoming Guide. As teams started to trickle back into the office we heard exclamations about how much fun they had going out and pitching as a team. Teams agreed that going out and discussing the promotions in person was much more effective then pitching by phone. All of the teams pitched to at least three new businesses and some of our regular advertisers. By the end of the day, we had pitched the promotion to 24 businesses. The Results At the next staff meeting AEs were asked to give feedback on the day and the competition. The staff had been thrilled by the day; they reported that they had fun and it helped relieve the stress from all the other promotions. They were able to work as a team and support one another in their pitches. Many of our clients told the AEs that they were glad to see them out of the office and that they were having fun with the job. By the time the edition went to print we had 11 new advertisers in the promotion, which made up the majority of the revenue. The exciting part is that 8 out of the 11 new advertisers were advertisers the AEs talked to on the day of the TSN Tailgate Competition. Our revenue saw an increase of 269% from last year to this year and we earned 11 new clients in the Homecoming Guide. The success of this promotion cannot be attributed to one specific event. However, based on feedback from the staff and the numbers, adding a competition into the mix helped keep things fun and morale high. The only thing better than seeing an influx of revenue is seeing a staff excited by the success that is the fruit of their hard work.
Helpful Tip Sheet: The advertising manager provides helpful tips to the account executives to help them formulate their pitches.

The University Daily Kansan Category 4c: Best Sales Increase of a Special Section At the end of every fall semester, The University Daily Kansan publishes one final product to reach out to students before they leave Lawrence for winter break; Finals Guide. This section is built around the idea that students need to let off some steam during final exams. The stories within point out some of the few peaceful parts of campus left to study, study break methods and provides students with light-hearted games to take their minds off tests. The Fall 2010 Finals Guide finished at only 49% to the previous year (a decrease of nearly $6300) due to a lack of excitement from both clients and Kansan account executives surrounding the section. However this year, due to increased sales efforts, better packaging, and realignment of content, The Kansan’s Fall Finals Guide saw sales of 203% to the previous year (an increase of $6476.08 overall) as the section was better tailored to address the needs of the sales staff, the student audience and The Kansan’s clientele. The end of the semester is a challenging time for sales as to start with client budgets have either been either been exhausted or nearly exhausted for the calendar year. Kansan account executives are students first so they find themselves swamped by the end of the semester demands of classes. Therefore, the first item that needed to be addressed in creating a better environment for Finals Guide to live and be sold in was to make it more convenient. For our clients and sales staff, this meant bundling the section with two other special sections and thus incentivizing clients to buy into all three at the outset and receive a discount for doing so. Clients who bought ads simultaneously into our Top of The Hill section, 100 Years of the Jayhawk section and Finals Guide would receive a 25% discount. This allowed our sales staff to focus on making a single packaged sale that would also provide fantastic exposure for our clients as well and promote frequency to them. For our student audience, convenience for Finals Guide meant bringing the paper to their doorstep. On the Monday of Finals Guide’s release 12,000 copies were dropped at our normal distribution locations. But in addition The Kansan staff distributed 2,700 extra copies to student oriented apartment complexes around Lawrence, hanging each copy in a branded sponsor bag on apartment doors. The increased distribution was icing on the cake for our clients. By doing these things, excitement was generated around sales both internally and externally for The Kansan. Secondly, there was an organized effort between the news staff and advertising staff in realigning content based off of what students and clients wanted to see. From interviews with both, conducted by The Kansan marketing team, we saw that students tended to focus on the “games” section of this product (Sudoku, crossword, cryptoquip, etc.). Clients, knowing that student focus more on these sections, wanted to buy placements next to them. So, while retaining the light-heartedness of stories focused on stress relief, we increased the pages allotted for these types of games to satisfy the needs of both student and client in a very direct way.
And finally, we internally motivated our staff by offering a $50 per staff member holiday bonus if total sales numbers hit the cumulative goal for November and December. While it was not explicitly for Finals Guide, the amount required to reach that goal dictated that account executives find news businesses for Finals Guide and up-sell current clients who had already laid out December plans. The semester as a whole had been an uphill battle with 19 new staff members learning their sales craft in the midst of a very challenging economy. A daily countdown of how much more was needed to be sold The holiday bonus incentive provided that extra needed kick to finish in a stellar manner and build the necessary momentum and confidence for the staff going into the Spring semester as well. When all was said and done total sales on Finals Guide were at 203% to the previous year and an overall increase of over $6476 for total sales of $12,704. Not only did this shatter last year’s sales numbers but it also was the highest amount of revenue for Finals Guide since 2008. These numbers were instrumental in The Kansan achieving its cumulative November/December goal and in particular helping us finish December at 138% to last December’s numbers. In addition the bundling helped us pre-sell over $13,000 in revenue for our “100 Years of The Jayhawk” section which will be released in February 2012. The extra effort and strategy put into Finals Guide helped provide a great finish for our organization for the Fall semester but has also provided the momentum to hopefully achieve even greater things in the Spring 2012 semester.

EDITOR’S NOTE
his week, I’m taking final exams for the last time. They’re my final finals. After three and a half years at the University and another misguided year at Arizona State, I’m finally graduating. I know it sounds crazy, but Finals Week is my easiest week of the semester. Without class and work, I can finally focus on the studying I’ve been neglecting for months. It’s the only time of year when I drink coffee, and the only time I feel like a good student. You, too, can enjoy Finals Week zen. Just use my mantra: “It’s only a test.” Finals Week alway makes me wonder if I did everything I could have. The looming end of my college career compounds that nagging doubt. Have I made the most of my time here? In August, I made a KU bucket list. See a comedian perform live: check (Aziz Ansari). Write a Morning Brew column for The Kansan: check. I took pictures with my friends on Kivisto Field when Kansas beat Georgia Tech. I saw Cole Aldrich and Nick Collison play against LeBron James. And, after multiple trips to the bustling metropolis of Medicine Lodge, I finally mastered highway driving (a little late, I know). I scored free concert tickets, attended my first

“tacky Christmas sweater” event, and lost my camera at least five times. I still haven’t been to The Bull or joined a basketball camping group or seen the KU Bar Band play, but I have a few months left in Lawrence. As far as fun goes, I’m satisfied with my KU experience. Whether I’ve learned enough in “First Amendment and Society” remains to be seen. But, like I said, it’s only a test. So don’t freak out. All you can do is roll up your sleeves, get to work, and hope for the best. Go learn and create and have a blast. Hurry. Every second counts. If you get to the end of your time at the University and you miss it as much as I do, you’ll know you did it right.

Many distractions can present themselves when it comes time to study for finals. The Academic Achievement and Access center advises that students find an environment that limits distractions, and to plan out their studying time.
How to avoid finals distractions By Victoria Pitcher
editor@kansan.com
Finals Week consists of cramming, late nights, and excluding yourself from the world for hours on end to pull off a passing grade for the semester — if you can minimize your distractions. Taylor Huhn, a freshman from Overland Park, says his biggest distraction is Facebook. “It’s a disease,” Huhn said, “I’ll check my newsfeed every couple of minutes. [Facebook] is always open … Always.” According to the Facebook press room, there are more than 500 million active Facebook users, making it an easy way to get off task for almost everyone. However, John Stratton, an associate
librarian for business and economics, sees students come and go in Anschutz Library and believes Facebook is not only for social networking. “It’s an informative tool,” Stratton said, “I think a lot of people are using Facebook for other kinds of things as well as socially.” With finals coming up, this popular past time may be something to worry about when it comes time to study. Whether or not you use Facebook, it is still hard to keep on task while studying. “The biggest problem is getting focused in the first place,” Huhn said. Kristin Scott, the director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, advises students that environment is important to studying. “Ideally, you want to study in a place where
MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2010
you have the least amount of distractions,” Scott said. “The atmosphere is very crucial to your being efficient and productive in studying, you need to find that place whether it’s a library on campus or a study room in a residence hall.” Scott recommends turning off your cell phone while studying and to choose a place where if you do not need a computer so it is not there to distract you. “My hall’s living room is quiet and comfortable,” Huhn said, “It’s a good atmosphere for studying.” Students can also reserve rooms in Anschutz or find “quiet zones” within the library. Scott also advises that students create a study plan to avoid spending too much time on Facebook. Allow time for social networking sites such as Facebook, but keep it in balance
with everything else in the plan. The Academic Achievement and Access Center offers workshops every semester around finals time to help students prepare. These workshops help students develop a study plan. Students can also schedule an individual appointment with the AAAC. These appointments are free and last one hour. Another thing for students to remember is to maintain a support system. If you have a roommate, hold each other accountable. It can also be helpful to study in groups. Most importantly, students must remember to get enough sleep, eat well and exercise in order to maintain their health and lower stress. — Edited by David Cawthon

Hit the sack after a long night in the stacks Experts say your brain needs sleep to learn By Geoffrey Calvert
editor@kansan.com
Many college students prepare for Finals Week by spending hours in a campus library frantically cramming in one last attempt to boost, salvage or maintain a grade. While students may feel it is tradition to stay up all night studying for finals, depriving oneself of sleep to study more is not a beneficial practice. “Benefits of a good night’s rest include alertness, being cognitively sharp, as well as the ability to concentrate, remember, make critical and creative decisions and be productive,” said Jenny McKee, Health Educator at the Wellness Resource Center, via e-mail. “All of these qualities are important for test taking. If an individual has had a full night’s sleep they will be much more likely to be able to perform optimally on their test.” Collin Stephens, a sophomore from Overland Park, said that although he tends to study in the afternoon, he pulled three allnighters last year when studying for finals. He noted the effects that losing sleep had on his body. “It hurt my sleep pattern and energy level,” Stephens said, “But it didn’t kill me. I can survive pulling all-nighters.” By sticking to a set sleeping schedule students allow their memory to better retain information the student has studied even though it means sacrificing late night study hours. The later into the night that a student studies, however, the less information the brain digests. According to McKee, staying up to cram for a test would be counterproductive. “It would not work because our memory of newly learned stuff improves only after sleeping at least six hours. The brain needs time to file new information and skills away in the proper slots so that it can be retrieved later,” McKee said. “Without enough sleep to do all this ‘filing’, the new information does not get properly encoded into the brain’s memory circuits.” Stephens took a different perspective from McKee, however. “For me, it’s different studying all night than it is staying up to write a paper,” he said. Students who stay up late to study can improve their chances of retaining information by napping during the day, but only if

Staying up all night to study may do more harm than good. Experts say the brain needs at least six hours of sleep to retain new information. they dream. In a study conducted by Robert Stickgold, director of the Center for Sleep and Cognition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, 99 college students were asked to memorize an intricate maze. Stickgold inserted the students into a virtual representation of the maze, and the students were instructed to navigate through the virtual maze. After this, half of the students took a 90-minute nap, while the other participants were kept awake. Five hours later, all the participants were given the maze again. The students who had napped navigated the maze better than the students who stayed awake, and the nappers who dreamt fared about ten times better than those who did not dream. “When you dream, your brain is trying to look at connections that you might not think of or notice when awake,” Stickgold wrote in the study. Applying this to studying, by napping after studying during the day, your mind stays refreshed and is not taxed by late night studying, and it works to process information on a deeper level than when one is awake. “The sleeping brain seems to be processing information on one level, but on a higher level it helps evolve your memory network,” Michael Breus, the clinical director of Arrowhead Health’s sleep division, told CNN Health.

Incomplete offers alternative to failing grade By Noopur Goel
editor@kansan.com
In Spring 2009, Uzma Fardeen, a senior from Lenexa, was struck by the devastating news that her father had passed away. “He died of a heart attack,” Fardeen said. “He was in the hospital for about three weeks, and came home for four days, then passed away. So it was pretty sudden.” After missing three days of school to mourn her loss, Fardeen returned less than two weeks before her final exams. Ill-prepared and unmotivated, she was willing to risk the grade and take her finals anyway. As a last resort she e-mailed her Biology 152 professor, Tara Marriage. To Fardeen’s surprise, her professor offered several alternatives to simply failing the course. The most fitting seemed to be an incomplete. “I would’ve failed my finals if I didn’t take incompletes,” Fardeen said. This would allow her to receive an “I,” rather than a letter grade, until she retook the course. The retake had to be within a year of the original incomplete, but could have set the deadline closer than that. If another grade was never recorded to replace the incomplete, then she
would receive an “F” at graduation. Fardeen was lucky enough to be granted an incomplete for her special circumstance, but many students may not be offered the same option. “A student not passing a class is not grounds for an incomplete,” said Kim McNeley, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences assistant dean for student academic services. “It’s not to be used as an avoidance of a failing grade. It should be something that prevented the student from meeting the expectations of the course.” If a professor does not believe that a student is deserving of any lenience, the student would have only two options: drop or fail the course. Fortunately, the University takes into account the fact that students make mistakes. “We realize that adjusting to the rigor of academics is sometimes a challenge,” McNeley said. Such was the case with Amanda Peters, a sophomore from Wamego. “I never had to study in high school, so I didn’t study on the tests, and it definitely showed.” Peters said. Peters, referring to her freshman year psychology class, feels that it was her own lack of
preparation that led to her less than desirable grade. Both because a passing grade in that course is required for admission into the School of Education (where she will be pursuing an exercise science degree), and because it dropped her GPA significantly, she decided to retake the class this semester. “Transitioning to a large university like KU sometimes presents some challenge, and we wanted to have a policy that encourages students to build a strong foundation, even if they’ve struggled with it the first time through,” McNeley said. This policy allows a student to replace a “D” or an “F” with a passing grade if they retake the class. This must be a course taken originally before the fall of 2001, and be at the 100 or 200 level. There is a five time limit on these replacements. “If they wanted to they could apply it over, and over, and over to the same course until they completed it, or five different courses,” McNeley said. The initial letter grade will still appear on the transcript, but will not be calculated into the GPA. Some feel that this is not the best approach.
“I think it should be on your cumulative GPA,” graduate teaching assistant Jennifer Hackett said. “For your graduating GPA I guess if you failed a class you’d have to retake it, but it should be on your cumulative because if you failed the class, it should say it on there.” Some graduate schools may feel that way, and end up recalculating GPAs adding in the failing grades. “Graduate schools get to set their own weight to evaluate GPA,” McNeley said. “Typically graduate schools are looking at an overall GPA, and, in my experience, more specialized junior/ senior coursework. If it’s an extremely competitive program they may look more closely at a student’s earlier point in their career, they may recalculate the GPA putting all those courses in. It’s at their discretion.” The alternative to having a failing grade on a transcript is to withdraw from the course altogether. This must be done by the deadline, which is generally sometime in mid-November. Although these Ws do not calculate into the GPA, they may also have some bearing on how a graduate school views a student. — Edited by David Cawthon

Healthy snacks for crunch time Students should avoid foods high in sugar and fat, along with drinks high in caffeine By Jacklyn Baillergeon
editor@kansan.com
As exams and papers grow closer to their due dates, many students find themselves working and studying for hours at a time, which often changes their eating and drinking habits. Leslie Sear, a junior from Overland Park, said she tends to eat and drink the same things every finals week. “I eat pancakes three times a day for all five days. I’m not even kidding,” she said. Sear says her habits during finals week aren’t very healthy but have become a tradition. “Pancakes are easy to make and I love them,” she said. “When I get back from a bad final I can eat delicious pancakes and my day is better.” On the other side of the food spectrum, Kristen Hadjis, a sophomore from Colorado Springs, Colo., said that during finals week she likes to eat healthy foods. “During finals week I eat a lot of hummus, eggs, peanut butter, bananas and pasta. I stray away from candy and junk food because I know that just gives you a sugar crash and doesn’t help you retain information,” Hadjis said. Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutritional services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, agrees that eating foods high in sugar and fat, which are common “cramming” foods, may not help with mental performance during finals time. “Those aren’t healthy choices, whether you’re studying or not,” she said. “They may make you feel more sluggish and drowsy, which won’t help you when you’re trying to study.” Chapman suggested planning snack times to prevent cravings for unhealthy foods and to control portion sizes. “Building in a study break with a pre-portioned snack is a good idea,” she said. “The best snack is one with a combination of protein and carbs, which can be eaten before, during, or after study.” Eating fresh foods is best, Chapman said, but snacks such as whole grain cereal, pretzels or popcorn are also good choices.

Foods high in protein are the best types of food for your study session. Caffeine should be consumed in moderation so that your mind will be ready to rest. For those looking for a “super food” to help them study better, Chapman said that no foods have been proven to increase mental aptitude, concentration or performance, but certain foods can still help students. Many students also consume caffeine while they study. Sear and Hadjis, like many college students, drink Diet Coke while staying up late to study. “I live off caffeine during the school year,

even though I know it’s probably bad,” Hadjis said. Chapman said that drinking caffeine is an acceptable way to help a student study if it’s consumed in moderation. “Small amounts of caffeine can help you feel more alert, but too much can be counter-productive. Instead of helping you study, drinking too much caffeine can give you headaches or prevent you from falling asleep when you’re
ready to rest,” she said. Chapman said to practice healthy eating and drinking habits and be sure to get enough sleep to maximize performance on exams. For more information on healthy eating visit Watkins Health Center’s Wellness Resource Center or go to hawkhealth.ku.edu. — Edited by Lisa Curran

editor’s note
After finally learning how to study, college is coming to a smooth end I have never been good at studying. What I am skilled at is making excuses. I tell myself that I take good notes throughout the semester or that I have a adequate memory. It’s as if those reasons let me off the hook from ever reviewing those notes or trying to remember the lectures. Then finals roll around — and I have no more excuses. Without fail, this always leads to a rather ugly breakdown. “Why didn’t I care about this more throughout the year?” I wonder. (By the way, the answer is The Kansan. It’s all consuming.) Then, I spend one glorious weekend poring back through my books and trying to decipher my notes. My friends tell me about this event called “Stop Day Eve,” during which they go out and have fun. It’s a foreign concept to me. However, because I’ve made it this far in college, I suppose it’s at least a semi-effective system. However, it’s not a process that I would suggest.

eglover@kansan.com pursuitofhealthfulness.com That’s why I made a point of turning things around this year. I studied. I kept up with my readings. In more appropriate terms: I gave it the good ol’ college try. Now, I’m sitting pretty. It’s an incredible, unstressed feeling that I haven’t felt in years. Not to rub it in or anything. The real point I’m making is that I will be taking advantage of this entire section during finals week. With puzzles, cartoons and coloring pages, it’s like a college student’s dream — or a Kindergartner’s. Same thing, right?

Procrastination has ugly consequences alexa rush
arush@kansan.com All-nighters are usually considered synonymous with college. Whether it’s that big project that was put off until last minute or the huge midterm that snuck up and now needs to be crammed for, almost every college student experiences this dreaded episode where junk food and energy drinks become your best friends. Whitney Slater, a freshman Master of Architecture major from Wichita, has to frequently work late in the lab, also referred to as a studio, to build her models. These projects are very time consuming and Slater has learned the hard way that time management is a must. “I always wait to do them until I absolutely have to. The worst night so far was when I was in my studio until 5 a.m. working on a model for the next morning,” Slater said. “Doing it so late was slightly scary and frustrating.” Patrick Frey-Frankenfield, a junior
from Corvallis, Or., has taken on the challenge of double majoring in Sports Management and Accounting. With two years of college already under his belt, he has figured out how to stay motivated and organized so that he can avoid those unforgiving all-nighters. “I have the planner that KU gives us and I put pretty much everything in it. I also try to keep track of all of my syllabi and reference those every once in a while just to make sure I know where I am in my class and what assignments are coming up,” said Frey-Frankenfield. There are many different opinions when it comes to the matter of how much studying one should do and when. Some say that studying for two hours a day, for each class is sufficient and that you should review your notes immediately following the class. Others feel that these issues vary for each student. Slater states that she would highly recommend the two hours per subject suggestion, but that this may not work for everyone. “I think that it completely depends on
the type of student and learner you are,” Slater said. “I never do my homework right after the class, mainly because my brain needs a break from the subject that I was working on. So, normally my homework and study time is on alternate days from when I have that class.” Although it’s a good idea to study with peers at times to get a different outlook on things learned, it can also become quite the distraction. Finding a happy medium between study groups and individual study time can make all the difference when it comes to a possible all-nighter. “I try to isolate myself from other people, either in my dorm room or the library, because they’ll end up being a distraction no matter what,” Frey-Frankenfield said. Believe it or not, all-nighters do not plague everyone. As Robert Christie, a senior Biochemistry major from Chicago, Ill., has learned over the years, the control is completely in the hands of the student.
“I’ve never had to pull an all-nighter. The latest I have stayed up is 2 a.m. Have a plan of action on what you’re going to study,” Christie said. “That way you’re not scrambling to figure out what to study, and you can devote more time to productive studying.” Avoiding all-nighters is crucial when it comes to decent work output. Unfortunately, professors may be able to pinpoint who actually attempted some thought and the slackers who waited until last minute. Christie has some words of wisdom for the freshmen class about academic success. “My advice would be to approach your classes professionally. This means taking your classes seriously and not halfassing it on projects, papers, or tests,” Christie said.
