A new poll shows President Barack Obama leading Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney by 10 points in Michigan as conservative groups pull back advertising statewide. A poll conducted by EPICMRA for the Detroit Free Press and other media outlets saw Obama take a commanding lead in Romney’s home state following the Democratic National Convention, leading 47 percent to 37 percent. The polling firm’s previous Michigan poll, conducted after the Republican National Convention, showed a much narrower lead for the president, 49 percent to 46 percent. Obama has the lead among independent voters at 36 percent to 27 percent, a big shift from previous EPIC-MRA polls that showed Romney with the lead among that crucial bloc. Obama and other Democrats spent much of the DNC calling the 2009 bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler one of the major successes of the Obama administration, a message that appears to have resonated with Michigan voters. “When the whole theme for the Democrats is Osama bin Laden is dead, and GM is alive … that’s got to help in Michigan and Ohio and a couple other states as well,” EPIC-MRA pollster Bernie Porn told the Free Press. The poll might justify why the Romney campaign and out-

ROSS| conTinUed fRom 1A Mueller patented a chemical compound that filters out 300 times more chemicals from water. CMU’s excellence in teacher education was also a talking point. Ross pointed out that a CMU alum has won Michigan’s teacher of the year award two years in a row. Alum Paul Galbenski, a business, management, marketing and technology teacher at Oakland School’s Technical Campus, earned the award in 2011 and alumna Bobbi Jo Kenyon, a science teacher at Ottawa Hills High School, was this year’s award winner. “Now, that’s a tradition of excellence,” Ross said. Ross spoke about the university’s success in raising 60 percent of the funds needed for the new CMED program, which will open its doors to the public for the first time on Sept. 21. The inaugural class will begin school in 2013. “For the College of Medicine, we’ve raised $14.1 million—56 percent of the $25 million goal,” he said. He also talked about the new bioscience building receiving $30 million from the state. “The facility will serve more than 7,500 students who study and do research in biology every year,” Ross said. “It will provide much-needed research space for our faculty.” The usage of the university’s online courses have increased. “We added 22 new online courses,” Ross said. “We had 22,295 online course registrations — 4,300 more than last year.” Expanding the university’s impact in new fields was the major point of the future.

UNION| conTinUed fRom 1A Ross said CMU will work together toward a common vision of what the university can be. “Our future isn’t just the vision of the Board of Trustees or the cabinet or senior leadership. It’s not just the vision of George Ross,” he said. “This vision reflects what you already are doing. It continues a journey started on this day 120 years ago.” Academic Senate, shared governance and communication are key factors in Ross’ plan to lead CMU to excellence in the future. “We will achieve excellence by redefining shared governance with the Academic Senate. We will achieve excellence through mindful communication, and we will achieve excellence by challenging each other, every day,” he said. university@cm-life.com

“CMU’s future includes superior programs in healthrelated fields,” Ross said. “On a grand scale, CMU’s future is that of a powerhouse in healthrelated careers.” Ross praised the budding programs by noting the 100percent pass rate of CMU students in several College of Health Professions programs. Ross spoke about a $10 million dollar EPA grant that will allow students to help with research that will help keep the Great Lakes healthy and referenced the university’s involvement on Beaver Island. “We’ve completed a landmark mesocosm system at CMU’s Beaver Island Biological Station,” Ross said. “ And to complete the Beaver Island excitement, we’ll soon moor a 32.5-foot research vessel there. The ‘RV Chippewa’ will deploy scientific equipment in deep water and have an on-board laboratory.”
votes are needed to win. That means Romney must win somewhere between five and eight of those nine swing states to be elected. According to the Real Clear Politics polling averages of those nine swing states, he currently leads in two: North Carolina and Virginia. Most scenarios involve Romney winning both Florida and Ohio the two biggest prizes in play. No Republican has ever won the White House without Ohio and no Republican since Calvin Coolidge in 1924 has won without Florida.

I think Ross hit everything he needed to hit,” Gawronski said. “I’m very happy, and I loved the historical perspective he gave and having one of our oldest alumna there made it a really great experience.”
Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services David Burdette was happy with what Ross said. “History is always interesting, because it serves as a context for the future,” Burdette said. “It’s uplifting in the sense that he is talking about our future and where we are going.” Trustee Robert Wardrop has a positive outlook for the future of CMU under Ross’ direction. “I think President Ross did an excellent job. He’s a dynamic speaker and a dynamic leader for the university,” Wardrop said. “We’re going to overcome everything from last year and move forward very dynamically.” Trustee Bill Kanine also showed his support for the president’s speech. “It’s a tremendous celebration when you have been

side groups supporting Romney are pulling back advertising in Michigan and instead focusing on other, more competitive states. $4.2 million has been spent on advertising by the Romney campaign in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Iowa and New Hampshire since the end of the conventions, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Despite claims from the campaign otherwise, it appears that Michigan and Pennsylvania, and their combined 36 electoral votes, have been largely ceded to Obama. The Romney campaign is not alone in giving up on Michigan. The pro-Romney super PACs Americans for Prosperity and American Crossroads have also stopped spending money in the state, meaning Michigan is likely Obama’s state to lose. Abandoning Michigan and Pennsylvania and instead focusing on the other nine states means Romney’s path to victory is much narrower. If those two states are put in Obama’s column, the president would have a 237-191 electoral vote lead on his challenger, with 110 votes in play. 270 electoral

Frontcourt plans change in light of recent injuries, suspensions BY MAX MCCOMBS mccombsm@indiana.edu
In a span of less than three weeks in the preseason, IU’s frontcourt post depth off the bench was transformed from a smorgasbord of two talented freshmen and a physical senior veteran to junior walkon forward Jeff Howard. The frontcourt depletion began amid the celebration of Hoosier Hysteria Oct. 20. Somewhere between the night’s dancing, dunking and scrimmaging, senior forward Derek Elston suffered a torn meniscus. The tear, a reaggravation of an injury originally sustained during Elston’s Tipton High School days, was announced days later. Elston had surgery Oct. 26 and will be sidelined for at least several more weeks, though he is likely to return in time for Big Ten play. “He’s been a tremendous leader, without question,” IU Coach Tom Crean said at Big
Ten Media Day. “He’s been as good as anybody in the program at trying to help younger players. I don’t think that will change even if he’s going through the rehab.” Two of those younger players were likely to be freshmen forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea and center Peter Jurkin. However, due to self-reported violations regarding the two freshmen accepting improper benefits from someone who was technically a booster, both begin the season with nine-game suspensions. “There is a high level of disappointment because I know what we do and I know how we have done it,” Crean said. “My greatest concern is for them. It has been and it will remain that way. They don’t deserve this.” The team is appealing the suspensions, though Crean said he himself would remain uninvolved with the process. Nonetheless, in the team’s
Nov. 9 opener in Assembly Hall against Bryant, the two freshmen stood near midcourt with Elston and sophomore guard Jonny Marlin, clapping, but not smiling as their teammates prepared to replace them. “There will be some conventional and there will be some unconventional,” Crean said. “You learn a lot over your period of time at Indiana, from 2008 on, and the one thing that you learn is you don’t sit there and worry about what you don’t have.” Crean said the “conventional” option would be for Howard to see a jump in playing time and become the primary backup to sophomore forward Cody Zeller. Once the game began, it was instead freshman forward Jeremy Hollowell and senior forward Christian Watford, the more “unconventional” options, who picked up the slack in the post. Watford in particular
shined, posting a career high with 15 rebounds to go along with 15 points against the Bryant Bulldogs while wearing Elston’s No. 32 jersey as a tribute to his teammate. “Especially trying to get to the offensive glass and getting on the boards, I just try to choose my spots,” Watford said. “I’m not going to keep the number. Coach Crean may want me to keep it, but I’m not going to.” Crean said Watford is no stranger to playing up at the center position, especially in practice where he is routinely the team’s leading rebounder even while still making some mistakes. Crean said the opener was no different. “He got 15 boards and he’s probably not going to grade out that high on the block outs, so there is a lot of room for improvement with him too,” he said. “He’s a senior and he’s got really strong maturity and an understanding of what this is all about.”
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF TEAM’S DEPTH A much-discussed hallmark of this year’s squad is its depth, with a number of players able to play multiple positions. With three frontcourt players out due to injury and suspension, this flexibility could come in handy early on in IU’s nonconference slate. Here are a few options the team has to pick up slack until the players return.
PLAY ZELLER ALL GAME By all accounts, Cody Zeller can alone probably do this, but it carries with it obvious injury risks. Expect IU to avoid this strategy unless a game is unexpectedly close.
JEFF HOWARD Coined the “conventional” option by IU Coach Tom Crean, Howard is technically the next big man currently available on the roster after Zeller.
NOT-SO-SMALL FORWARDS The “unconventional” option compared to Howard, Crean showed a willingness against Bryant to play freshman Jeremy Hollowell and senior Christian Watford in the post.

Technology professors receive NSF grant to create educational device
Austin Arceo ISU Communications and Marketing
A team of Indiana State University professors received a National Science Foundation grant of more than $190,000 to create an innovative device they hope will transform automotive engineering technology education. The ISU researchers received the funding for their project, “CULMINATE: Customized Laboratory using Microcontroller for New Automotive Technology Education.” They propose to create a microcontroller board, a device that looks like a computer motherboard featuring different components, that would help teach automotive engineering technology students how microcontrollers function in vehicles. The devices are becoming more prominent in automobiles, underscoring the need for students to learn about them, said Yuetong Lin, associate professor in the department of electronics and computer engineering technology. He is the lead researcher on the project. “The idea of the microcontroller board is that it has the core of any commercial products out there, but it’s also going to integrate some key components for some automotive sensing and controls,” Lin said. “With the commercial board, everything is fixed on.”
The team first received the idea after Xiaolong Li, assistant professor of electronics and computer engineering technology, attended an NSF conference and saw that a friend had created a different kind of customized microcontroller board. “They are mainly used for computer engineering or electrical engineering programs,” Li said. “We wanted to develop a different board which is specifically for an automotive engineering program.” The customized board would allow for the different components used in microcontrollers in vehicles to be included in the educational board so that students could learn about them. A customized board also will allow for components to be interchanged; the commercial boards available for purchase have components that are soldered onto the board, Lin said, so they can’t be taken off. The National Science Foundation promotes interdisciplinary work among engineering and technology fields, Lin said.

Adam Suderman staff writer The K-State track team has found early success this season that continued on Saturday when the team hosted the Wildcat Invitational at Ahearn Field House. K-State won 16 different events, but seniors Mantas Silkauskas and Boglarka Bozzay highlighted the day’s events with recordbreaking performances. Silkauskas broke both the school and meet record by running the men’s 60-meter hurdles in 7.69 seconds. Bozzay added two more meet records in the 1,000-meter run and the mile run. She clocked in at 2:48.01 in the women’s 1,000-meter and 4:55.45 in the women’s mile. Bozzay’s achievements in the 1,000-meter did not break her personal best time but it did help reach the goal of breaking the meet record of 2:49.06 held by former K-Stater Amy Mortimer. “I wanted to break the meet record,” Bozzay said. “I was totally by myself toward the end of the race and I was able to run at
my own pace. I was really happy with my time.” Silkauskas’ performance not only placed him ahead of the NCAA automatic qualifying mark of 7.70 seconds, but is also the fastest time run through this point of the season. “Mantas’ performance was pretty spectacular,” said K-State head coach Cliff Rovelto. “It was his first hurdle race of the year. To run not only a PR [personal record] but to run that fast is very, very good.” Rovelto recognizes that there were factors that contributed to the results and that it’ll be important for Silkauskas to build upon Saturday’s performances. “You’ll go through the entire indoor season and there won’t be more than five or six guys running that fast in the entire country,” Rovelto said. “He was running at home in an atmosphere he could relax in. It really was an outstanding performance though.” Teammate Jeffrey Julmis came in second in the men’s 60-meter hurdles with a time of 7.83 sec-
onds but Rovelto sees Julmis getting under 7.80 soon. “Jeff had a pretty poor start,” Rovelto said. “He would have probably fallen in the low 70s, but he still performed well.” Freshmen Tyler Tilton and Logan Smith took home first and second in the men’s 800-meter run. Tilton came in first with a time of 1:57.16, which was only .01 seconds ahead of Smith’s time. Senior Tomaz Bogovic finished first in the men’s weight throw with a distance of 59-8 1/4. On the women’s side, senior Ali Pistoria broke her personal record for the second time this season with a mark of 61-1 1/2. The Wildcats got a clean sweep in the throwing events by winning the titles in the shot put with junior Jacquelyne Leffler and sophomore Ryan Hershberger. Leffler won with a throw of 49-5 and Hershberger had a throw of 54-1/2. Cameron Savage cleared 16-6 3/4 in the pole vault giving him a victory and a season’s best performance.
“We moved him back to a longer run then from what the other guys were jumping from,” Rovelto said. “Given that, what he jumped today is quite good.” Freshman high jumper Alyx Treasure added another win to her season total with a jump of 5-10. The mark fell just short of her winning height from last week. Senior Jacob Davies anchored a group that took the top four spots in the men’s 600-yard run. Davies won with a time of 1:13.10. The day ended with a pair of victories for the 4x400 relays on both the men’s and women’s side. Rovelto was pleased with Saturday’s performances but sees a couple of spots where improvements need to be made. “We’ve got to get better in long sprints and middle distances,” Rovelto said. “Overall though I think we’re in pretty good shape. Everyone is finding their spot and where they need to be.” K-State returns to action Jan. 26-28 to compete in the Bill Bergen Invitational in Ames, Iowa at Iowa State University.
K-State women’s basketball falls to No. 1 Baylor Kelly McHugh sports editor K-State women’s basketball (13-5, 4-2) traveled to Waco, Texas, on Saturday afternoon to take on the number one team in the nation, Baylor (19-0, 6-0). K-State suffered a 76-41 loss and the Baylor Bears continued their perfect season with yet another win. K-State struggled to hold on to their top 25 ranking, but after a loss to the Oklahoma Sooners on Tuesday night and their loss to Baylor on Saturday, their chances of hanging on to that No. 23 position look slim. The opening minutes of the game were the only time the Wildcats saw a lead. Junior guard Brittany Chambers put a quick 11 points
on the board for K-State and the Wildcats started strong, capitalizing on Baylor’s four shaky turnovers in the opening five minutes. However, K-State was unable to sustain that lead, and when the Bears stepped back onto the court after the first media timeout, there was no stopping them. Baylor’s junior forward Brittney Griner proved to be a defensive challenge for the Wildcats as she continued to block their shots, and, along with junior forward Destiny Williams, would only allow K-State 22 points at the close of the first half. Griner went on to finish the game with her 36th career double-double as she recorded 12 rebounds and 22 points. Baylor’s Ferrell Center
held its second largest crowd of the year for their women’s basketball team with 9,380 people in attendance. The atmosphere was loud from the very beginning, and the Baylor fans stood behind their team until the end as they continued to dominate K-State. The second half and the first half were almost identical for K-State’s shooting percentage from the field, and they closed the game with their lowest of the season at 24.6 percent. When the Wildcats
tried to play rough against the Bears they ended up with 21 personal fouls as opposed to Baylor’s 11. K-State’s senior guard Tasha Dickey and sophomore guard Chantay Caron both had four fouls at the end of the game. Chambers finished the game with the most points for K-State at 16, and Dickey also scored in the double figures with 10 points on the board. Senior forward Jalana Childs closed the game with only four recorded points, not connecting her first shot until the final minutes of the
game. K-State will take on the Iowa State Cyclones on Jan. 25, at 7 p.m. in Bramlage Coliseum and look to go 5-2 in the Big 12 Conference season. Jan. 25 is National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and K-State will hold special meet-and-greets and demonstrations from the women’s cross country and track teams, the women’s golf team, equestrian, rowing and volleyball student athletes and coaches beginning at 6 p.m. in the Bramlage Concourse.
The last time K-State (14-4, 3-3) won at Oklahoma State (9-10, 2-4) was in 1993, and freshman starter Thomas Gipson was not even born. However, this losing streak in Stillwater, Okla. came to a halt on Saturday afternoon as the Wildcats beat Oklahoma State 66-58 and came away with their first on-the-road win during the Big 12 Conference season. “Kansas State hadn’t won here since 1993,” said K-State head coach Frank Martin about Oklahoma State’s GallagherIba Arena. “This is one of the most intimidating places that I’ve ever coached a basketball game at. The crowd, the way it sits right on top of you, it seems like the court is smaller because it is so congested and it’s awesome. It’s incredible.” Despite playing without junior forward Jordan Henriquez, who has been suspended from the team indefinitely, the Wildcats stepped onto the court strong and determined to take on the Cowboys and come home with a win. Martin started the game with the same lineup he used when the Wildcats beat Texas on Wednesday night: freshman guard Angel Rodriguez, junior guard Rodney McGruder, senior forward Jamar Samuels, freshman forward Thomas Gipson and sophomore guard Will Spradling. A dunk from McGruder put the first points of the game on the board, and in the opening five minutes, the score bounced back and forth between the teams. At the first media timeout, Oklahoma State led the Wildcats at a close 7-6. However, as the first half continued, the Wildcats took a 13-point run over the Cowboys and stole the lead, which they would not give up the remainder of the game. With 35 seconds left in the first half, a technical foul was called against Oklahoma State’s coach, Travis Ford. Spradling took the two free throws that came with the technical, and wound up missing both shots. Missing free throws for the Wildcats trended the first half as they went in to half time with an unimpressive 4-14 from the free-throw line. Despite the missed free throws, the Wildcats were able to come away with a lead of 31-24 as the first half came to a close. The second half opened with a layup from Samuels, and K-State continued to play strong and held a 10-point lead for the majority of the remainder of the game. With 10 minutes left to play, Gipson was sent to the bench as he fouled out of the game. Samuels and Diaz both finished the game sitting at four personal fouls each. “We fouled too much, but that is more Oklahoma State,” Martin said. “They attacked us; they took it right at us and they didn’t back up a step. They were as aggressive as I’ve seen them all year.” While Spradling gave K-State their largest lead of the game at 13 points with two free throws and a layup, these points were his first points of the game with only nine minutes left to play. Spradling went on to finish the game with eight points on the board for the Wildcats. In the final five minutes, Oklahoma State fans cheered and K-State fans held their breath when the Cowboys brought the score as close as three points. While they were unable to take the lead, and had two key players foul out, Oklahoma State swallowed their first home-court loss of conference play, as K-State took their first on-the-road win. “We’re practicing the things that are important to us; the things that make us who we are as a team rather than trying to recreate the wheel or do some other things,” Martin said. “That’s two games in a row that our attention to detail is good and our enthusiasm is good.” Three players for K-State scored in the double digits against Oklahoma State. Rodriguez and McGruder led in points for the Wildcats with 14 each, and McGruder put away two dunks. Following in the scoring was Samuels, who scored 12 points and recorded 12 rebounds for his fourth doubledouble this season. “It’s good to get a road win in the Big 12. And to be in Stillwater makes it a lot better,” Samuels said. “I’ve never won in this place. It feels good to win here.” The Wildcats are about to hit the road again as they are scheduled to take on Texas Tech on Jan. 25, at 8 p.m. The game will be held at Texas Tech’s United Sprint Arena in Lubbock, Texas. The game will be aired on ESPNU.

Easter takes over as president of U of I URBANA, Ill. (AP) — New University of Illinois President Robert Easter shares one key challenge with two presidents before him: balancing the problem of dwindling state support with the need to hold tuition down. But in his first day on the job, Easter listed a new priority, one created by the rocky previous three years that ended with Easter in the president’s office: to calm the storms that have become a regular part of university life since 2009. The 64-year-old Easter was named president in March when SPONSORED BY

Michael Hogan resigned under intense pressure from faculty. Hogan himself had been on the job less than two years, hired in 2010 to replace B. Joseph White after White resigned during an admissions scandal. “I think clearly one of the immediate issues is to bring some sense of stability and a sense of positive approach to the office,” Easter told reporters Monday in his office on the Urbana-Champaign campus. Easter is a longtime administrator on the flagship campus,
serving for years as dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences in Urbana before taking on several interim leadership roles in the past few years. When Hogan resigned as president, Easter was a popular pick among faculty who had called for Hogan to step down. Easter has agreed to stay on the job two years at $450,000 a year, $170,000 less than Hogan was paid. In talking about finances and tuition, the new president acknowledged Monday that he’s looking at many of the same challenges his
most immediate predecessors faced and believes administrators, faculty and others are ready to work through those with him. “I sense a desire to make tough decisions, adult decisions, about our future,” Easter said. The state government budget just passed includes a six percent cut in money for the university. State funding accounted for only about 15 percent of the last school year’s $5 billion university budget. It isn’t clear how much the cut for the next school year will drop that percentage.

PAC,

“He just has a lively wit and chatters to the audience,” Thompson said. This year’s show, 101 Years of Broadway, is a show of its own that travels in its own right, Thompson said. Available Broadway celebrities that performed live on Broadway are bringing their talents with them to GSU to perform for students, faculty and the community. Everyone is invited to the event and music students will especially enjoy the show, Thompson said. “All the music students should be here,” Thompson said. “Just if nothing else, just to see and hear.” Thompson said she looks forward to the production this year and that the audience will get to witness a real life romance during the Phantom of the Opera performance. Two of the lead characters, the Phantom and Christine, came to the show last year as single people. This year, the play couple is an actual couple, Thompson said. “It’s a very romantic story,” Thompson said. Last year, the production was titled, 100 Years of Broadway, and ran for the first time on a GSU stage.

As the director of the PAC, Thompson brought the show to GSU after attending a regional conference. Keeping the audience in mind is important and productions that the audience will enjoy most, Thompson said. “It was wonderful,” Thompson said. “The audience went wild for it.” 101 Years of Broadway is only the opening show for the 2012-2013 season. The PAC plans to bring Cirque Chinois to the PAC for a
performance from the National Circus of the People’s Republic of China for the show following 101 Years of Broadway. Cirque Chinois is like a spin off of the acrobatic performance of Cirque de Soleil, Thompson said. The opening show of the season, 101 Years of Broadway, will be at the PAC this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets to all shows this season are $10 for GSU students and vary for community members.
The Buzz List Kate Middleton is rumored to be pregnant. It’s no coincidence this occurs in a time Gianna Carme when Prince Harry needs the spotlight off of him. Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s baby daddy, welcomed his second child into the world, Breeze Beretta, with his current girlfriend. Breeze Beretta was born already a member of the NRA. Miley Cyrus sat front row for an 82-year-old stripper prior to becoming a suspect in a criminal battery in the same nightclub. I think we’d all go a little cray after watching an 82-year-old woman strip.

Happy early Homecoming! In just a few days, there will be an entire week full of Panther Pride. Some students are probably wondering how they can join in on this week of fun events. Take a look at how you can wear and even eat purple and gold. This week has step-by-step instructions on braided t-shirt headbands, purple Rice Krispie treats, fruit skewers and dip and bow hair clips. Enjoy! Don’t forget to follow us on Pinterest at www.pinterest.com/northerniowan and visit our website at www.northern-iowan.org!
Braided t-shirt headband
Materials:
Microwaveable purple Rice Krispies Treats Ingredients:
• Old t-shirts • Hot glue gun and glue • Scissors
Step 1
Cut five long strips from the bottom of the t-shirt.
• • • •
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal 2 cups mini marshmallows 1 ½ tbs. butter Food coloring
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, add butter and marshmallows.
Step 2
Cut one of the sides of each strip so that it makes a straight line.
Step 2
Step 3
Step 3
Step 4
Step 4
Stretch t-shirt strips.
Microwave for 60 seconds and stir. Microwave for 60 more seconds and stir.
Gather the strips together and glue all five pieces at one end.
Step 5
Add red and blue food coloring and stir.
Step 5
Stir in Rice Krispies.
Duct tape the glued side to table.
Step 6
Step 6
Press mixture in 5-by-11-inch pan. Makes 8-10 treats.
Braid strips.
Step 7
Measure your head with the headband and make sure it fits.
I cut the recipe in half, but if you want the regular recipe just double everything. I made this easily in the dorm, just find cheap utensils at the dollar store and you will be set.
Step 8
Tip: Make sure you have all of your ingredients out and ready to
Hot-glue end pieces of both sides of braids. Then glue together.
Step 9
Take a strip of the excess t-shirt, wrap it around the two glued ends and glue it in place.
Tip: Make sure the headband isn’t too loose because it will stretch out over time.
go before you get the marshmallow mix out of the microwave. Your hands get very sticky from the marshmallows, so you won’t be able to open packages very well.
Cute Panther pride bows Step 1
Cut felt in a strip about 3 inches by 1.5 inches.
Fruit skewers and fruit dip
Step 2
Make a mark with permanent marker in center (optional).
Ingredients: • 8 oz Puffed Marshmallow Crème • 6 oz cream cheese • 1 tbs. milk • Purple grapes • Pineapple • Skewers or toothpicks
Step 1
Combine marshmallow crème, cream cheese and milk. Stir.
Step 2
Put grapes and pineapple on skewers.
Tip: If you have chunks in the fruit dip, you can use a fork
to smash them. Also, for more flavor, you could add vanilla or substitute a different flavor of cream cheese.
Step 3
Materials: • • • • •
Felt (purple and gold) Hair clips Hot glue gun and glue Scissors Permanent marker (optional)
Tip: The measurements are
changeable depending on what size of bow you want. Also, I found the felt and hairclips at Hobby Lobby. Make sure you use the online coupon!
Pinch felt together at the mark (if you made one) like farfalle pasta.
Step 4
Hot glue on either side of the mark in the upper and lower creases.
Step 5
Repeat step 4 on back of felt.
Step 6
Wrap a small piece of felt (about .5 inches by 1.5 inches) around the center.

used the term ‘brilliant.’ She’s full of ideas. I think she can accomplish big things for the College of Business in the future.” Croson has no prior relationship with UTA, except for being in the UT System. “The College of Business faculty is really fabulous and they are of high quality. They are also engaged with its students,” Croson said. Croson said there is nothing specifically she would change about the College of Business going forward. “There’s always room for change and the college has strong organizations to work with. I will also try to help UTA toward Tier One status,” Croson said. Dunn said the search for the new dean was a lot of work but it was a very enjoyable process.
“We got to meet a lot of strong and interesting scholars and it’s always a pleasure to hear their viewpoints,” Dunn said. “It’s always an exciting process because when you’re hiring a new dean, you’re basically shaping the future of the college.” Croson will replace interim dean David Gray, who took over the position on July 1 after Dan Himarios left to become the vice provost and executive director for UTA’s Center for Global Initiatives. “She’s very high energy and has lots of ideas. She’s a great public speaker and she’ll be a great representative for not only the college, but for the university as well,” Gray said. James Murdoch, the UTDallas Economics Department head, jokingly said the selection of Croson is UT-Dallas’ loss and UTA’s gain. “She was a great professor here. She was very productive and worked with a lot of graduate students,” Murdoch said. “She was a great recruiter
and mentor for our faculty.” Murdoch said she was an outgoing person to work with. “She’s an extrovert and she’ll be the first person to tell you that,” Murdoch said. “She’s very friendly and she’s fun to be around.” Before working at UT-Dallas, Croson was an assistant and associate professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where she also earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and philosophy of science. She also has a master’s and doctoral degree in economics from Harvard University. Croson’s career studies focused on areas such as investigating how people make economic decisions and improving them. Croson was selected over the other three college of business dean candidates: Devanthan Sudharshan, Frank Buckless and Jarjisu Sa-Aadu. @TRAVISDETHERAGE william.detherage@mavs.uta.edu
