CONTINUED FROM PAGE B2 difference between rainsoaked, sweat-soaked and s p i l l e d - d r i n k- a l c o h o l soaked as the crowd was so closely tangled. Fans’ wetness was a mix of all three, brought together by the sounds of neo-trance dubstep. Le Castle Vania’s remix of La Roux’s “In for the Kill” was met with screams of approval, taking the atmosphere to an even higher level. “(Le Castle Vania) just hit the deck,” said a deadmau5 tweet soon after the opener took stage. “Insanity ensues.” Seniors Katherine Bihrle and Samantha Skjodt were among 10 people dancing on a bench to the side of the stage when it flipped, throwing them to the floor in a twisted heap of bodies, neon, spandex and glow sticks. “I had no idea what was happening until we hit the floor,” Skjodt said. “People
were just looking around confused, but we were even more confused.” Bihrle said no one was hurt, and everyone simply got back up and started dancing again. “No one was still,” Bihrle said. “It was one of the smallest venues he’s been at for, like, seven years, but that just made everything so personal.” Feed Me took the stage, creating a different tone as they welcomed the crowd in an English accent to a taste of house and what some call “intelligent dance” music. Toward the end of Feed Me’s performance, Joel Thomas Zimmerman walked on to continue the house set before revealing his identity to the crowd by placing his infamous mouse-shaped mask on his head. People went crazy. “The cube and mask are his trademark,” Bihrle said. “So we definitely got a different experience, but I think that’s so cool.” Deadmau5’s “Raise Your
Weapon,” among other fan favorites, escalated the commotion. Toward the end of the set, one girl had to be caught by security as she hopped on stage and ran across. “The show was so close to the audience,” Skjodt said. “He had to have felt the energy of the crowd, and I know it was something he hasn’t felt in awhile.” After the show, deadmau5 tweeted to Bloomington that he “needs more shows like that in his life” and that it was the “BEST CROWD OF ALL TIME,” making up for what he coined “Blowfest.” The status update had nearly 3,000 “likes” on Facebook, and though he promised his return, there was still controversy among his Bloomington fan base. Senior MacGregor Leo said after what he heard and saw from deadmau5’s Twitter feed and GLOWfest volunteers, the DJ will have to earn his attendance back. “IU is a huge audience

hometown started to play the jazz trumpet. The man was David Miller, founder of Jazz Fables, a concert series that began in Bloomington in 1977 and featured many jazz studies students and alumni. Notable names include prominent drummer Shawn Pelton and keyboardist Jim Beard, both of whom visited IU over the weekend to hold free jazz clinics. Baker himself played the cello for regular sets with the band approximately once every school semester since the start of the concert series at Bear’s Place. Brought up in a household that was constantly filled with all kinds of music, Miller was exposed from an early age to the jazz publication “Downbeat Magazine,” in which he read about and explored music by jazz greats, including Miles Davis and a certain David Baker. Miller arrived at IU the

and a Big Ten school, so he better hype us up next time around if he wants us there,” Leo said. “The crowd last night outdid his energy for sure. But he’s one of the best DJs right now, so show us
some love, and I’ll be there.” Leo also gave props to the Bluebird, which played host to a great show despite the time constraints and the venue’s capabilities. And as for GLOWfest’s
reputation? “I’ll be there,” Leo said. “It’ll be Little 5. People will be raging, the weather will be warm and we’ll have some crazy fun to some great electronic music.”
same year Baker succeeded in pushing for jazz studies as a degree-granting program. Despite choosing to pursue a sociology degree, Miller sat in for as many of Baker’s jazz classes as he could. “Even though I continue to try to learn on my own, I don’t think any of the things I’ve accomplished with Jazz Fables would have come about without what David built with the Jazz Studies Department,” Miller said. “He inspires young musicians to learn at the highest level.” “He is the epitome of jazz,” said sophomore Tori Miner, who took Baker’s History of Jazz course in the fall 2011 semester. “He embodies everything that jazz music is,” she said. “Watching him and listening to him talk — his experiences make jazz feel more real than they’ve ever felt for me.” As the original designer of the IU jazz program, Baker continues to teach courses that he has taught for the past 40 years. Despite possessing a
wealth of knowledge and experience regarding topics taught, Baker chooses to keep himself updated by constantly revising class material. “What I do is teach life experience,” Baker said. “For instance, music doesn’t exist in a vacuum. And so when I teach music, I’m teaching people how the world works. At the same time, there’s music, there are wars, there are pestilences, there are illnesses, there are new inventions, old inventions, cellphones, new things. And what I teach is all of that because I’ve lived all of that. So I teach those things that are part of my life experience.” This care for the world around him permeates his entire life. Despite his many glittering accomplishments and connections with important people, Baker remains humble. He credits his success and reputation to his professors at IU, including world-famous Menahem Pressler, János Starker and Josef Gingold, who
commissioned Baker to write classical music scores while he was still in school. But most of all, Baker said he owes it all to God. “Everything I’ve ever needed has been given to me,” said Baker, who sees his talent for performance, composition, writing and pedagogy as gifts from God. He believes everyone has an “expiration date”: His goal in life, above all the honors and recognition, is to leave the world a better place, with no stone left unturned. “Everything I’ve gathered as a jazz musician is credited to what I’ve learned from him and people he’s taught,” said Miller, who has arranged a concert with Pelton, Beard, Robert Hurst, Ralph Bowen and Scott Wendholt — all of whom studied under Baker in the 1980s. “They’re all steeped in the way he’s done things,” Miller said. “David’s an individual that’s so gifted and determined to do what he does. It’s like a diaspora extending from him.”

Race, politics a ‘dangerous’ combo Policy experts discussed the role race plays in Obama-era elections BY KEVIN STAWICKI Contributing Writer

/redandblue OBAMA’S SURPRISE PICK FOR WORLD BANK Some were shocked when Obama nominated current Da r t mout h president to replace the current World Bank president.
For Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, running for office in the 1980s was “all about representing race.” Discussing the intersection between race and politics is “potentially dangerous” in today’s political culture, the 1979 Wharton graduate said. There were initially 28 students in the Bodek Lounge audience to hear “Race in the Political Arena: The Role of Race in an Obama America” Monday night — also the one-month anniversary of the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. An additional 30 students came to hear the lecture after returning from a march to LOVE Park for Martin. Nutter and co-panelists Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sanchez and Penn political science professor Rogers Smith took a significant portion of the hour to agree that race still plays a role in politics today, though it has come a long way in the past decade. Nutter, along with Sanchez — the first Latina serve on the Philadelphia City Council — took time to reflect on obstacles they experienced when running for office. In the 1980s, Nutter recalled, “I had no union support, no big name support.” When he knocked on peo-

(From left to right) Mayor and 1979 Wharton graduate Michael Nutter, political science professor Rogers Smith and councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez speak in Bodek Lounge at the panel event, “Race in the Political Arena: The Role of Race in an Obama America.” ple’s doors during campaigning, he imagined voters to think, “Who is this AfricanAmerican man standing on my doorstep?” Contextualizing these barriers of race in politics, Smith cited recent, racially charged policies such as felony disenfranchisement laws that have resulted in disproportionate impacts on blacks and Latinos found guilty of nonviolent crimes. Despite these policies barring equal treatment irrespective of race, Smith suggested that neither political parties seem to be willing to discuss
the very social issues fueling them. “Democrats are not as committed to discussing race as they should due to the predominately white electorate,” while Republicans “engage in colorblind policies,” Smith said. Nutter, however, said that realistically, such discussions are “dangerous territory,” adding that racial issues are still a dangerous topic for President Barack Obama. “What you worry about is getting tagged as playing the race card — you will spend all of your time digging your way out of a hole that seemingly
has no end,” Nutter said. While the panel was thorough in its recognition of the obstacles race presents in politics, there was little discussion, and even less consensus regarding ways to move forward to engage race in current political discourse. Sanchez suggested giving more access to minority groups and setting up a base that does not isolate them. Nutter mentioned the need to recruit minorities to run for office and stressed the importance of voting. “We do more promotion of recycling than we do voting,”

he said. The panel seemed to agree that there is a long way to go. For College freshman Nathalie Figueroa, legislative director of Penn Democrats, race relations have evolved over time, but she also recognized the need for more critical conversation. “As a campus we need to have these conversations,” she said. The event was co-sponsored by Penn Democrats and many other minority organizations on campus. Figueroa said this event was a push in the right direction.

KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY | THE SENTINEL
Alexandria Walton Contributor The Student Government Association will change its constitution to include additional requirements to run for election. These new requirements call for prospective candidates to serve in SGA for a full semester before being allowed to run for an executive position. SGA compared its requirements for election to those of Georgia Southern, Georgia State, University of West Georgia and the University of Georgia to get an idea of how other universities operate. Serving for a semester before election could better prepare candidates for their duties within the organization and expose them to the internal
operations of SGA. However, this requirement could also have a negative side. “Some candidates might be deterred from running [for an executive position] because of the number of years they have left at Kennesaw,” Academic Affairs Director Katherine Street said. The amendment to the constitution was unanimously passed by SGA executive members and is awaiting approval from the Student Activities Board and Committee. In other campus news, students are reminded to change their Net ID password before Jan. 21, 2013. If students fail to change their password before this date, they will no
longer be able to login to the Net ID unless they completely reset their account. Last year, the SGA administration pledged to serve more than 300 service hours. More than 150 volunteer hours in the Fall 2012 term helped SGA reach its goal. SGA will be assisted by Bernard McCrary as he takes to the position of assistant director of Student Involvement. The Planning & Budget Advisory Committee found that for every 29.5 students on campus there is one teacher. Other school systems in Georgia average one teacher for every 24.1 students. KSU plans (you can’t maintain andw decrease) to decrease the ratio.

The men’s basketball team is already making strides after four days of full team practice, with veterans stepping up and new players improving each day. The team’s first full fiveon-five practice was held Friday, and the team is holding two and a half hour practices five days a week. Returning starters such as junior point guard Shaquille White-Miller, senior center Jordan Reves and senior forward Kevin Butler already know the playbook after spending time in the system. The experienced veterans can often help incoming players pick up the college game faster. “They’re like having another coach on the floor,” head coach Scott Cross said. “They know the plays and where people are going.” Cross said intensity and game speed are usually the two biggest adjustments for a player coming from high school or junior college. The skills involved usually don’t change much, but going up against the best players from each high school makes the physical aspect more difficult. Cross is impressed with his team’s effort in the early stages of practice. “I think the overall intensity has been good. Guys are really getting after it,” Cross said. “I think that’s where it starts, is with the passion, enthusiasm and effort.” Along with last year’s three returning starters, returning forwards Brandon Edwards and Karol Gruszecki have been consistent in the early practices.

Head coach Scott Cross points toward freshman guard Drew Charles during practice Monday at the College Park Center. The men’s basketball team has it’s home opener against Oklahoma University.
Edwards has shown good shooting range while also being aggressive near the basket, and Gruszecki is proving to be a sharpshooter from three-point range. Vincent Dillard, Deon Rodgers, Greg Gainey and Drew Charles are some new players who have already made an impact early in camp. However, Jamel Outler is the newcomer who has had the biggest impact on Cross. “He’s been really good all the way around. He should be able to come in and contend to start for us this year,” Cross said. Outler, a sophomore transfer from Texas Tech, is entering his first year of eligibility after sitting out last year because of NCAA transfer rules. The talented sophomore has shown an ability to drive to the basket, hit long jumpers and use quickness to play solid defense.
Gainey has consistently showed his ability to explode and finish shots near the basket. Freshman Rodgers has shown a nice touch jump shot and solid post game from the paint, and freshman Charles hustles on every play and likes to take open threes. Dillard, a junior, can often be seen sprinting all over the floor trying to make aggressive plays. Dillard is learning how to play point guard, which Cross said is a hard transition because he has to learn new offensive and defensive schemes. He is also going against returning starter White-Miller, who Cross said was one of the best defenders on the team. Practice is where everything gets put into motion, but White-Miller said great players are made off the court. “We can go through
plays all day and do different things, but if you’re not going home and studying the playbook and doing the little things, the game will be a totally different thing from practice,” he said. White-Miller tells players to stay under control and try to play smart. He also gives his advice to the big men, telling them to use an aggressive approach. For Rodgers, a freshman from Dunbar, he already has an idea of the system after playing for a similar style of offense in high school. The intensity is still different though. “The first day, it was difficult. Coming into the first practice not really knowing what to expect,” Rodgers said. “But after the first couple practices, you learn the transition a little more.” @REALSWIFTMCVAY sports-editor.shorthorn@mavs.uta.edu
As accounting sophomore Nikie Hogan and her friend walked through the Activities Fair, the sound of music blaring brought their attention to the Women’s Ultimate Frisbee booth. “At first, I thought Ultimate was overwhelming because you’re thinking all the time, and it requires eye contact and good communication between players,” Hogan said. “I’m the most unconditioned person in the world,” Hogan said. “So if I can play this sport, anybody can. Ultimate is a good experience, gives me a different kind of thrill and keeps me in shape.” According to USA Ultimate, the national governing body for Ultimate Frisbee, the sport is considered as the second-fastest growing sport next to lacrosse. Founded in 2003, the Men’s and Women’s Ultimate Sport Club teams prepare for tournaments at the University of Texas-Dallas and Texas State University, respectively, this weekend. However, Ultimate Frisbee is still a fairly unknown game. Even players have trouble describing the sport. “It’s like the undiscovered gem in the sports world,” said film senior Samantha Zonana, one of the captains on the women’s team. Ultimate Frisbee, according to USA Ultimate, is the combination of nonstop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football. Played by two sevenplayer teams, the object of the game is to score by catching
a pass in the opponent’s end zone. The rules state that a player must stop running while holding the disc but can pivot and pass to any of the receivers. Turnovers occur when a pass is dropped, intercepted, a pass goes out of bounds or when a player holds the disc for more than 10 seconds. Physics senior Thad Loftis said resting is not an option. “It’s like the fourth quarter of a football game,” Loftis said. “You are giving everything you’ve got, and the games are so fast-paced that there’s no time to rest.” President Isaac Johnson said that anybody on the field has the capability of being the “game-changer” in Ultimate Frisbee. “Anybody on the field has the ability to take over a game,” Johnson said. “It’s not like other sports where there is just one playmaker.” There are misconceptions that people have about Ultimate Frisbee, though. Physics senior Lee Baker, the other field captain for the men’s team, addressed those issues. “People have incorrect thoughts about Ultimate Frisbee,” Baker said. “They think it’s like disc golf, but requires more athleticism, skill and power than people think but can also be serious and fun at the same time.” Being in shape and conditioning are a big part of the sport. Math junior Eric Morrow said conditioning is needed to play the sport well. “We’re always doing conditioning drills to keep us in shape. Running and throwing drills happen all the time during practice,” Morrow said. @KILLAKEV41 kluong@mavs.uta.edu
