Safety of house at issue in case SKULLS from page 1 ball league together. On their way to Penn’s campus, the group stopped at Suds Beer Store — located in Feasterville-Trevose, Pa. — to purchase multiple six-packs of beer. Despite the fact that Crozier was 20 at the time, Suds employees sold him the beer without checking for identification, the suit claims. The Croziers are also suing Suds for more than $50,000 for its alleged role in their son’s death. In multiple response briefs filed over the past 15 months, Suds has denied all liability for the incident. At approximately 3 a.m., according to the lawsuit, Crozier — who had been drinking throughout the night — was approaching the second flight of stairs in the Skulls house when he “tripped and fell over a deficient railing to the ground below and landed on his head.” He sustained extensive brain injuries from the fall, and died a few days later on Jan. 5, 2011. The incident prompted Skulls’ immediate suspension by both its national headquarters and Penn’s Office of Student Affairs/ Fraternity Sorority Life. While the fraternity was not permitted to participate in spring 2011 rush, OFSA lifted the suspension in March 2011. However, on Sunday, PK S Grand Alpha Douglas Opicka posted a video message on the fraternity’s Facebook page informing the brothers of their charter’s removal. “I must regrettably inform you that, as of 3 p.m. today, Sept. 16, 2012, the charter for the Alpha chapter has been suspended and the chapter itself has been closed,” Opicka said in the video. “Last week, it finally reached a point that the fraternity’s executive committee felt we could no longer allow Alpha chapter to operate due to the risk that they posed to the

entire fraternity.… I personally believe that we exhausted all avenues available to try to save and rehabilitate the Alpha chapter.”

Skulls safety

Central to the family’s lawsuit is the claim that the railing in the Skulls house over which Crozier allegedly fell was “in a defective and dangerous condition as [it was] extremely low and insufficient to prevent Matthew from falling.” Penn and the fraternity’s national office declined to comment on the lawsuit, but both have made clear through court documents that they are vigorously denying the Croziers’ claims about their failure to maintain the safety and upkeep of the house. William Pastorick and Michael Fox — attorneys with the firm Nelson, Levine, de Luca & Horst who are representing the PKS International Fraternity and the housing corporation for Alpha chapter — did not respond to multiple requests for comment Wednesday. It is unclear if Pastorick and Fox will continue to represent the chapter’s housing corporation now that Skulls’ charter has been suspended, though Ara Avrigian, an attorney who is working with Mongeluzzi on the suit, believes they will stay on as counsel. Other than a brief, three-sentence email statement provided by OFSA Director Scott Reikofski — which said that Penn “supports Phi Kappa Sigma’s actions” — Vice President for University Communications Stephen MacCarthy said in an email that Penn does not comment on pending litigation. For the University’s part, it wrote in a June 2011 response brief to the lawsuit that “although the University of Pennsylvania recommended to Phi Kappa Sigma House Corporation that certain handrails within their fraternity house should be modified so that they would meet new building code standards, the existing handrails were lawful in their thenexisting configuration.” In 2004, Penn worked with Blackney Hayes Architects to

carry out a study to assess the current state and infrastructure of all of the University’s Greek houses. The decision to conduct the study came a few years after a 1999 incident in which Penn graduate Michael Tobin died after falling several stories at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house. In the report — which was included as an exhibit in the Croziers’ evidence to date — the surveyors wrote that the Skulls house needed to “install hand/ guardrails where they do not comply, are not installed or are inadequate.” They also wrote that “hand and/or guardrails of proper height and configuration [are] needed at the stairs.” Although the chapter house is located on Penn’s campus, it is

‘‘

If things had been handled differently, Matt Crozier would still be alive today. That’s the bottom line.” — Ara Avrigian, Attorney for plaintiffs

owned and managed solely by a corporation of Skulls alumni. While Penn said in multiple responses to the lawsuit that it informed the fraternity of the need to install more stable railings, the University is denying liability for claims related to the building’s faulty infrastructure — as well as all claims in general. The fraternity’s national headquarters wrote in a response that “the PKS defendants specifically deny that the handrails on the staircase from which Matthew Crozier is alleged to have fallen were deficient.” It has also claimed that Penn never informed the chapter or the national headquarters that the fraternity needed to raise the guardrails before the incident. Mongeluzzi called these assertions “outrageous.” “It is clear beyond question that the railing over which Matt Crozier fell was woefully defi-

cient, unsafe and hazardous,” he said. “It was noted more than five years before Matt’s death as a safety hazard, yet never made safe by their housing corporation. The adults in charge enabled this to a deadly effect.” Mongeluzzi also noted that the presence of underage drinking at the Skulls party has been central to the case he is putting together. Through about 30 depositions this summer — which included out-of-court testimony by Penn administrators, Skulls brothers who were at the New Year’s party and other fraternity leaders — Mongeluzzi said it became apparent to him that “there has been a long-standing history of illegal service of alcohol at parties at Phi Kappa Sigma going back a number of years.” “We have maintained that the house corporation and national corporation knew about it and never put a stop to it,” he added. Penn and the PKS national office have denied that they had any knowledge of alcohol being consumed by minors in the chapter house. This summer, Mongeluzzi’s team — along with other attorneys representing the various defendants — walked through the Skulls house for an inspection. During the inspection, Mongeluzzi said the group found clear signs of alcohol — for example, beer pong tables downstairs, empty bottles of Jack Daniels resting on windowsills and red Solo cups strewn across the floor. Skulls President and College senior Chuck Schmitt acknowledged that the summer walk-through “didn’t help” the fraternity, though he said the brothers were still shocked by Sunday’s decision to suspend the charter. Although the chapter’s student leadership declined to comment on the lawsuit — most said they have not even seen a copy of it — Skulls Vice President and College junior Chase Lax said there has always been an air of inevitability surrounding the suspension. “The fact that we were open 18 months [after Crozier’s death] is an amazing thing,” he said. “We’ve always been emo-

Despite losing its charter, Skulls will retain its chapter house on Locust Walk for the remainder of the school year.

Moving forward, all parties in the lawsuit are nearing completion of discovery — a pretrial phase in a civil suit during which lawyers from opposing sides share evidence, conduct depositions and exchange other documents. According to Avrigian, discovery for the case must be completed by Oct. 1. If the Croziers do not reach a settlement with all of the parties in the months following that deadline, a jury trial is expected to take place some time early in 2013. While very few civil suits of this nature make their way through an entire trial, Mongeluzzi emphasized that it will be up to the family to decide the course of action. If the case does go to trial,

the defendants will have to deal with the additional possibility of having to pay more in punitive damages, which the Croziers are also requesting. Unlike regular compensatory damages in a civil suit, punitive damages refer to those that are meant to deter a defendant from engaging in behavior similar to what prompted the lawsuit. Mongeluzzi said the requests for punitive damages in this case are meant to underscore an important point about the pervasiveness of underage drinking throughout the country. “The issue of alcohol on campus is one that’s an issue at every fraternity in America,” he said. “It’s an issue that’s quite frankly one of the most important on America’s campuses, and it’s important that we make a clear point about it [in this case].” “If things had been handled differently, Matt Crozier would still be alive today,” Avrigian added. “That’s the bottom line.”

Abiprabowo said among his intern class of business students, he was the only one who was also studying computer science. However, Abiprabowo said that the jokes were in good humour, and that recruiters “don’t really differentiate between schools.” This openness to all types of candidates is mainly dependent on the type of firms and the recruiting style of a particular field. “It depends on the position they are applying to — we have a technology position, so the applicants there tend to be more engineers rather than Wharton or College students,” said a recruiter at a top consulting firm who has interviewed Penn students for the past few years. “For our analyst position, more Wharton students would apply there.” Engineering and Wharton junior Kevin Zhao said that

while stereotypes are prevalent on campus, he personally believes that “they are just not true.” “Just having conversations over dinner, I can tell that different students from every school have distinct interests outside of their courses,” Zhao said. However, Zhao said there may be a belief that financial services companies only recr uit a specif ic ty pe of student, whereas newer techbased companies are more flexible. Ultimately, it’s in the interview that students have a chance to go beyond the resume, regardless of stereotypes. “In the room, you’re going to have the sufficient problemsolving and communication skills and teamwork skills to convince the recruiter that you would be a good hire,” Rose said.

tionally prepared for this.” The brothers will continue to live in the chapter house for the remainder of the year, Schmitt added. Beyond that, the fraternity remains unsure of the next steps it will take.

A trial on the horizon?

College and Wharton junior Matt Parmett stumbled upon the information on Pastebin. com late Tuesday afternoon. Within half an hour, he created a site that lets users input first and last names to see if their information has been publicized and includes a link to the leak itself. He immediately notified ISC staff, and as of press time has not received a response. Parmett added that students should not rely solely on his website as some of the names in the released file are misspelled. In August, Team GhostShell leaked around 1 million accounts from over 100 companies, including real estate agencies, weapons dealers and police departments. They called the initiative Project HellFire. In their new P roject WestWind, the hackers are looking to expose the hacks and vulnerabilities in higher education and generate conversation about “today’s education.” “We have set out to raise awareness towards the changes made in today’s education, how new laws imposed by politicians affect us, our economy and overall, our way of life,” the group wrote in the post. “How far we have ventured from learning valuable skills that would normally help us be prepared in life, to just, simply memorizing large chunks of text in exchange for good grades,” the post continued. “How our very own traditions are heard less and less, losing touch with who we truly are.

Polykoff left alma mater for Penn Jason Polykoff joined as volunteer assistant after five years at Friends' Central H.S. BY Mike Wisniewski Sports Editor If former Friends’ Central high school basketball coach Jason Polykoff could have ended up anywhere, it would’ve been at a local college with top-notch academics and an established, historically successful basketball program. Fortunately for him, that’s exactly what happened when Penn came calling in June. “In this business you don’t usually get your choice,” Polykoff said. “But if I had my choice, this is where I would’ve been. So the fact that I was asked to join the staff here, I was ecstatic.” Polykoff, entering his first year as the volunteer assistant coach for the men’s basketball team, comes to the Quakers following a highly successful five-year stint as head coach of local Friends’ Central School, his alma mater. There, he led the Phoenix to a 113-28 record and four straight Pennsylvania Independent Schools State Championships from 2009-12. “I’ll always love Friends’ Central,” Polykoff said. “But I was ready to try something different, a new challenge.” At Penn, he’ll face the task of being one of three new men on the bench — along with recent hires Scott Pera and Ira Bowman — in a completely revamped assistant staff under head man Jerome Allen. Together, the group will aim to end the Quakers’ longest NCAA tournament drought since 1988-92. He’ll also face one other potential problem: As a volunteer assistant, he reiterated that he doesn’t get a salary. “I wouldn’t say it doesn’t pay much — it doesn’t pay at all,” he said with a smirk. So Polykoff, who taught middle school math while he coached at FCS, will stick to his “math roots” to keep a steady income by tutoring some of his former students. Like Rudy Wise, the volunteer assistant before him, Polykoff

JASON POLYKOFF

One of three new Penn assistants and head of the JV squad will also helm the junior varsity team. As such, he’ll be in a more familiar position of head coach. “I’m really looking forward to that part of the job,” he said. “It’s a little bit of extra time on top of my responsibility with the team, but it’s basketball, and I’m okay with that.” As far as gelling with the big guys, Polykoff believes the transition has gone smoothly. Junior captain Fran Dougherty said the team is “embracing the process.” “We understand … it takes a while for the young players to learn the offense and defense,” Dougherty said. “There’s a lot of teaching right now.” On the court in practice, Dougherty described his new coach as an upbeat personality, while fellow junior Steve Rennard offered that Polykoff gets “his fair share of talking time in practice.” Overall, there already appears to be a good relationship forming between players and coaches. “They’ve done a good job in trying to connect to us on and off the court so far,” Rennard said. “I really like them. They’re very enthusiastic.” It’s been especially easy to relate to Polykoff, who’s not even 10 years removed from his playing days at Haverford College and could easily be confused with one of his players if he tossed on a uniform. “He’s a down-to-earth guy, he’s a young guy,” Dougherty said. “He’s cool with us and he hangs out in the locker room and stuff.” Polykoff and his team may be considered young for their respective positions, but it would be unwise to underestimate them. “We do have a young group,” Polykoff said. “But man, they’re talented. They’re athletic. They work hard. “We’re going to surprise some people out there.”

Penn players go from rivals to roommates FOOTBALL | High school nemeses Cameron Countryman, Dylan Muscat are now friends BY kenny kasper Associate Sports Editor In high school, Cameron Countryman and Dylan Muscat faced off at the line of scrimmage, playing on opposite sides of a vicious rivalry between two California public high schools. Now, they share a dorm room at an Ivy League institution more than 2,700 miles from home. These days, if they face off, it’s during practice for the Penn football team or while hanging out in the Quad. The freshmen matched up against one another in high school — Muscat as a defensive back guarded Countryman, a receiver. The competitive intensity of their history is amplified by the fact that their schools are archrivals. Countryman’s alma mater, Beverly Hills High School, and Muscat’s old team, Santa Monica High

School, regularly schedule their homecoming football games against one another, and in the weeks leading up to the game, the taunting and chiding commences, according to Muscat. “For us, it’s like a CelticsLakers rivalry,” Muscat said. Countryman noted that the rivalry extends even beyond the major sports. “It’s not just football,” Countryman said. “Whether it be even volleyball or water polo, we pack the stadiums and we just hate each other from the time the whistle blows ’til it ends.” As exceptional athletes in high school, both Muscat and Countryman had offers from higher-profile football programs. Pac-12 schools pursued Countryman, but he ultimately chose to play at Penn on ac-

count of its educational opportunities. “The schools that I had scholarships from academically could not stand up to the Ivy offers that I had, and academics was pushed from a real young age from both of my parents,” Countryman said. His choice caught the attention of ESPN, and the Wharton freshman was subsequently recognized in ESPN’s “18 Under 18” feature, which identifies “18 male and 18 female teen athletes who are doing remarkable things on the field, in the classroom and in their communities.” Though ESPN’s feature put him in the same discussion as athletes like Olympic gold medalist Jordyn Wieber, Countryman downplays the at-

dylan muscat

Freshman cornerback from rival Santa Monica High School tention. “It was cool to look in the magazine and see myself, but that’s all it is,” he said. “When the next edition comes out, it doesn’t mean anything.” Muscat’s decision to play football for the Quakers was ultimately made for similar reasons, but he took a circuitous route in reaching that choice. After his official visit in January, he verbally committed to Penn. But a week before signing day in early February, Muscat received a call from the University of Wyoming with an offer of its own. Lured by the school’s football program, Muscat then committed to Wyoming. It took a long talk with Penn defensive coordinator Ray Pri-

Change in formation boosted ‘D’ M. SOCCER from page 10 from being able to play its best 11. E v e r si nc e t he R id e r game, when the team shifted defensive for mations, the Red and Blue have been healthy for the most part. Both factors have led to a boost in their defense. In the four games including Rider and since, they’ve

ore to reaffirm Muscat’s confidence in the Quakers as the right choice. “He told me that Wyoming is like the pretty girl that walks down the street and she caught your eye, but you still have a good girl back home and that’s Penn,” Muscat recalled. Muscat then re-committed to the Quakers after considering that “a scholarship to Wyoming is for four years, but a scholarship to Penn is for your life.” Apart from playing against one another, Countryman and Muscat first became acquainted with each other when they learned they were both getting interest from Penn. In January, they took their official visits to Philadelphia at the same time and roomed together. After that experience, living together during the school year was an easy decision. At their dorm room in the Quad, they relax and unwind and “freestyle” at least three times a week, according to

allowed eight goals for a two goal per game average, down from the average they held for the first seven games of the season, which was just under three per game. Despite the injuries and the youth, the Quakers still p l ay e d t he i r o p p o ne nt s close, losing to then-No. 12 Georgetown and then-No. 22 Cornell by just one goal apiece. “There isn’t a game on the schedule where we wouldn’t love another chance to play them again,” Fuller said. Last week’s match against Columbia serves as a perfect example. The Quakers played a strong 90 minutes,

Countryman. Often, they’ll talk about how practice went that day. With both players working to get playing time, they can closely relate to each other’s experiences on the field. “It’s always good to have someone right there just to talk to and kind of get it out of your mind,” Countryman said. While Muscat’s old teammates are skeptical about him rooming with someone from Beverly Hills, they’re gradually coming to terms with the idea. Countryman and Muscat’s high school teammates have spoken to each other since the two have become roommates. “I guess they’re getting to know each other,” Muscat said. Though Muscat and Countryman are close friends now, the rivalry will momentarily be revived this week — Beverly Hills and Santa Monica meet on the gridiron Friday evening. “There’s going to be a lot of [trash] talking,” Muscat said.

and even though they allowed a goal, Dolezal believes it wasn’t like the goals they had been giving up at the beginning of the season, when the ball often crept too deep in their end. Fuller feels the second half of the Columbia game was the best the team has played all season. While the result was a loss, if the Quakers have learned anything from this tr ying year, it’s that Rome — or in this case, a winning season — wasn’t built in a day. “You don’t dig yourself out of a hole with a giant leap,” Fuller said. “Just one step at a time.”

And indeed, thus far, Berdini has proven that she deserves her playing time.

“I’m really excited because I didn’t really expect it,” she said. “All the other forwards and centers are great, so I’m just happy to be a part of the attack.” If Berdini reaches her potential, then one can only imagine how far she and the Quakers could go. “She’s a very dynamic player, she’s going to grow within our program,” Ambrose said. “We’re very excited that she’s here.”

BAMAKO, Mali — A new Tuareg rebel group, whose members include former proGadhafi fighters, launched its first attack on Tuesday on at least one town in Mali. Government forces fought back, including with helicopters. Many ethnic Tuareg fighters who had fought for Moammar Gadhafi returned home with their weapons to Mali after the Libyan strongman was killed in October. Some joined a rebel group called the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, or NMLA, which was formed that same month. Most of the fighting was in Menaka, a town in eastern Mali, said Moussa Ag Acharatoumane, an NMLA leader who spoke to The Associated Press by telephone from Paris. The attack broke two years of relative peace in the area. “Operations are continuing in Menaka and some other towns as well. Our aim is to liberate these towns,” Ag Acharatoumane said. He said he was talking to fighters on the ground by satellite phone. Bakine Ag Bambalo, a trader in Menaka, said residents heard gunfire and explosions erupt in the morning. “We heard ri f les being fired and some heavy weapons too,” the trader said, adding that Malian helicopters then came and fired at the attackers. Two reconnaissance planes also f lew overhead, he said. The fighting tapered off by midday and people returned to the streets, he told AP.

Ag Acharatoumane said he had no information about casualties and refused to give details about the other towns the group purportedly attacked. “We’ve taken this action because we tried to open a dialogue with the government but they reacted by denying there’s a real problem and sending their army to occupy our towns,” Ag Acharatoumane said. The group is fighting for the independence of north Mali, he said. Ag Acharatoumane said later Tuesday that the Tuareg rebels controlled Menaka and the military barracks there. The army denied the claim. “I can confirm there was an attack on the town of Menaka early this morning. Our forces returned fire and we are now in control of the situation,” Army Col. Idrissa Traore told the AP by phone in Bamako, the capital. “The rumors circulating that the rebels control the military barracks at Menaka are not true.” Ag Bambalo, the trader, said helicopters were still f lying overhead late in that same day. The National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad was created when a number of Tuareg groups that were

hostile to the government came together. Azawad, a name mainly used by Tuareg nationalists, refers to the Tuareg-speaking zone covering northern Mali, northern Niger, and southern Algeria where many of the blue-turbaned nomads live. The Malian government has expressed concern since the start of the war in Libya about its effects on security in Mali, a nation at the foot of the Sahara in northwest Africa. The Tuaregs have long complained that Mali’s central government — which is dominated by ethnic groups from the country’s south — has ignored the nation’s impoverished north. Successive peace deals signed with the Tuaregs, including several that were mediated by Gadhafi himself, were supposed to give a greater share of the nation’s resources to the Tuaregs but some factions have said the government did not fulfill its promises. Gadhafi counted the Tuaregs among his most loyal supporters. He had created an entire battalion led exclusively by Tuaregs, who come from the nations at the feet of the Sahara desert including Libya, Niger, Mali and Chad. When Gadhafi’s son and three of his generals fled to Niger, it was Tuaregs who arranged the convoy and drove the cars. Mali and Niger have voiced concerns over the inf lux of the armed Tuareg fighters. Both countries battled Tuareg-led insurgencies in the 1990s, and Mali faced a rebellion which flared in 2006. The last attack on a major Malian town happened in December 2008.

The Vibe’s ‘Move’ coming to Provo By Emma Johnson After performing on “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Dancing With The Stars,” and CBS’ “Live to Dance,” the dance company The Vibe has produced some of America’s favorite dancers. The dance group, which includes Tadd Gadduang, top four finalist of SYTYCD, and top six finalist Caitlynn Lawson, said they are proud to bring their talent to Provo in the show “Move!” Michelle Brockbank, coowner of The Vibe, spoke about the different styles of dance in

the upcoming show. “It’s a diverse, high-energy show,” Brockbank said. “There’s a variety from hip-hop, to jazz, to contemporary, to ballroom. We will be performing a lot of dance numbers that have been on TV, some aired and some not.” The group’s recent popularity and TV performances have helped the dancers progress both individually and as a group. “As individuals go on shows like ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and dance in professional dance companies, they fulfill the dreams that they have,” Brockbank said. “This is an incredibly talented group. As they

have embarked on different adventures in the dance world, they’ve grown as a whole.” Rick Robinson, choreographer and co-owner of The Vibe, described the eclectic combination of performances in “Move!” “The show is The Vibe reliving it’s great moments, especially from live TV,” he said. “We will be performing different numbers we have done over the years, from ‘Dancing With The Stars’ to ‘Live to Dance.’ Some from the audition process, one from the finale.” Robinson said The Vibe produces original and versatile dance numbers that entertain

the audience from start to finish. “We’ve taken these numbers and expanded them to show the versatility of the group,” Robinson said. “The audience will experience contemporary, jazz, ballroom, hip-hop, tumbling, lifts, live props. It’s a good mixture and a good way for people to see The Vibe.” Lindsay Arnold, 18, a Provo native, has been dancing since the age of 5. Although this is hardly her first performance, she said she is anticipating the exciting new show. “We’ve been doing these kinds of shows for about three years and I’ve been involved in

every one,” she said. “But this show is big for us.” Although she has performed in many shows, Arnold is excited to perform and improve as a dancer and as a group. “I feel like in this show, we’re improving upon what we had in past years,” she said. “It’s exciting to make each show unique and something the audience hasn’t seen before.” The group has evolved as it has gained popularity and publicity in recent years. “Ever since we’ve done the TV shows and had these amazing experiences, we’ve become so much more professional and

learned how to become better performers,” Arnold said. “We definitely know how to entertain an audience.” Tickets for “Move!” are available for purchase online at coveycenter.org, or through their box office, located at 425 W. Center St. in downtown Provo. Show performances are Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for balcony and $18 for main floor. The Vibe is offering special student discounts for the Saturday matinee performance; with student ID, tickets are only $5 at the door.

A Fresh Market for Sundance B y A m b e r ly A s ay The Sundance Film Festival is known for attracting celebrities, locals and tourists to the snow-covered mountains for 10 days out of the year. The local Fresh Market in Park City has been struggling this winter because of the lack of snow. Last weekend, however, the city received almost four feet of snow and that, combined with the film festival, has brought in considerably more traffic. Even in a place like Fresh Market, there’s a diverse cross-section one could find in the Sundance films themselves The crowds contained the press, Sundance volunteers, skiers and locals. One woman, Sophie Brown, was dressed in a short skirt with gray tights and boots. She had a fur coat, a silver nose ring and was busy picking out vegetables. In Sophie Brown’s posh English accent, she shared the film experiences that brought her

here. Brown is from Brighton, England, an oceanside city full of theaters and entertainment. This was her third time to the festival. She works in film, writes about film, studies film, goes to festivals and makes film. “The festival is great,” Brown said. “It’s a mixed emotion of little film snow globes.” Locals have different feelings about the festival. Some avoid the festival and others enjoy it. Chastity Seliga and her son Jett moved to Park City four months ago and said they are loving the experience. “It hasn’t been that bad,” Seliga said, referring to the festival crowds. “We just went to the library and didn’t have any problems parking. Really we have just been waiting for the snow. I am learning to ski but Jett is pretty good.” Jett is 6 and the move from Arkansas to Park City has been a big one. He said he loves skiing though. “I like that you get to go over jumps,” Jett said. The locals are not the only ones with experience. Karen

and Karly Fregenti, mother and daughter, are from New York and here for the festival. Karen is in her ninth year of festival attendance and said she has learned so much in each stay here. “Do your homework before you come,” Karen said. “Look up transportation, lodging, restaurants. … You need to be prepared because there are so many people here.” Christy Rees, a Fresh Market employee from Coalville, described the difference in the shoppers. “The store is definitely busier,” Rees said. “I think we get different people, it’s just a different clientele.” Rees said it’s fun to try to spot celebrities or famous people who come in the store during the festival. “You can always tell who they are,” Rees said. “They are dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.” The festival is great for seeing all different types of people and it is easy to spot them in the craziest of places, including a grocery store.

Women In Film promotes female filmmakers Associated Press The Sundance Institute and Women In Film are working together to track female filmmakers who are showing their work at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and plan to use the data to increase women’s presence in

all areas of filmmaking. The aim of the joint effort is to “initiate a real hard look at why this constant lack of parity seems to exist in terms of the amount of women working in film and media and the amount of men,” said Cathy Shulman, president of Women in Film. “What does it really mean and why is it happening, and instead of talking about it every

year as a fact, start to see if we could be part of a solution.” Keri Putnam, president of the Sundance Institute, said the organizations were motivated by statistics that show that only 5 percent of the top 250 films last year were directed by women. That figure hasn’t changed since 1998. At Sundance, 27 percent of the films presented were made by women.

With Apt, Provo hip-hop gets eclectic I

By Mason Porter A ta l l, thin Caucasian man wears a well-tailored red gingham, buttoned to the top, with a chain and combination lock peeking out from beneath the collar. His black jeans are close-fitting and held up by skinny, black Y-back suspenders. He wears his dark hair perfectly coiffed, parted from right to left. This is Apt, the unlikely face of Provo hip-hop. Apt is the stage name of Adam Hochhalter (pronou nc e d “ Ho -h a lter ” ) , a 29 -year-old native of Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago. He moved to Provo in 2002 and became a part of the local music community when a roommate invited him to rap on a couple of songs with his band, “Deadlocked.” “They won the BYU battle of the bands two years in a row … but it didn’t really mean all that much back then either,” said Hochhalter, tongue-in-cheek.

” guarantee there’s somebody in Provo right now who’s way better than both of us, rapping in their bedroom over some beats on the Internet, but they just don’t know that people would come to rap shows in Provo.” Adam Hochhalter Provo hip-hop artist

Over the years, Hochhalter has forged friendships with some of Provo’s elite musicians, contributing to his status as one of the most familiar faces in Provo’s music scene. That familiarity, however, has caused many to mistakenly associate him with bands of which he isn’t a member.

“I hang out with Scott ( Book on Tapewor m and The New Nervous) and Tyler (Neon Trees) a lot,” Hochhalter said. “Anywhere I’d go, I’d be with one of them, so a lot of people thought I was in The New Nervous or Neon Trees.” According to Chance Clift, Hochhalter’s friend and collaborator on his forthcoming debut “Do Yourself In,” that mistake is justifiable. “Adam has the look, where if you see him out in public, you don’t know what he does, but you know he does something,” Clift said. “He’s not just like a regular dude, you know?” Hochhalter’s brazen style has prodded friends to refer to him as “#kinghipster” on Twitter, but the dichotomy between his appearance and musical stylings has also garnered him lots of attention when he steps onto the stage. “At first I would ask myself, ‘Is this going to be weird?’ but now I prefer there to be a disconnect,” Hochhalter said. “I kind of like when people will see a set, and then tell me, ‘I didn’t know what you were doing getting up there and I

didn’t expect you to be good, but you were awesome.’” Donning his typical peculiar apparel plays an almost ritualistic role in Hochhalter’s pre-show preparation, similar to an athlete pulling a jersey over his head. “In general, I’m pretty shy,” Hochhalter said. “But when I change into what I’m going to wear for a set, it’s like, ‘OK, now it’s time for me to rock.’” Working with collaborators, especially Clift — whose emcee name is Chance Lewis — is another way Hochhalter overcomes his reticence, but it also stems from his desire to make music in a cooperative environment. The two are constantly looking for new talent in Provo that might be interested in working on a song or participating in a show. “I guarantee there’s somebody in Provo right now who’s way better than both of us, rapping in their bedroom over some beats on the Internet, but they just don’t know that people would come to rap shows in Provo,” Hochhalter said. “We’ve been trying to find those people and say, ‘Let’s do a show, let’s show people that this exists.’” Clift, who also fronted the punk band Abby Normal, has converted part of his Provo home into a studio, where various Provo musicians have come to contribute to his and Hochhalter’s new records. Their creative environment is seemingly full of laughter and good times, but Hochhalter insists his music is far from novelty or joke rap. “The music is really emotional and serious,” he said. “It’s not party rap at all.” Both Hochhalter and Clift have worked hard to establish the roots of a hip-hop scene. Many in Provo’s music community recognize the

Gilbert Cisneros, an employee of Muse Music Cafe, is one such supporter. He said he first started listening to the duo’s music because he was a fan of Clift’s band, Abby Normal. The fact that Cisneros, who is a punk-rock enthusiast, has embraced local hip-hop is a realization of part of Hochhalter’s vision. As a fan, Hochhalter frequents concerts in a variety of genres, supporting the local music scene

as a whole instead of dissecting it into diverse and rivalrous parts. He is optimistic that concert-goers in Provo can enjoy his rap shows as much as a rock show. “I have a wide spectrum of musical taste,” he said. “I enjoy rap and dance music, pop music, rock, whatever — and I think other people can have that too.” Hochhalter will release “Do Yourself In” on Saturday at Muse Music Cafe.
