Life in dorms provides resources, involvement

By Kyle Mittan Arizona Summer Wildcat

For many incoming freshmen, getting tossed into a residence hall fresh out of high school can be an overwhelming experience, but maintaining a friendly and open-minded attitude can make all the difference in determining an on-campus living experience.

The UA has 23 residence halls collectively capable of housing nearly 7,000 undergraduate students. The Residence Life program itself has several resources that help make life in the dorms a communal experience, including several resident assistants in every hall and the university’s own Residence Hall Association.

Each resident assistant, or RA, lives in the residence hall they serve and is meant to provide assistance to students living within the hall, according to Kristin Mefford, a nutritional sciences junior who served as an RA in the Kaibab-Huachuca residence hall last year.

“Basically, we are in charge of making sure that the residents have a good community while they’re living in their dorms,” Mefford said, adding that hosting several communitybuilding events throughout the year is what

Residence Life is “all about.”

Additionally, the RHA allows students to join a committee of residents within their hall and participate in similar community-focused activities. The student-run organization works

to provide services to each hall by allocating money and working with representatives from each dorm, according to Anthony Salas, the association’s vice president of public relations and a sophomore studying political science.

“The needs of, say, a dorm like Arbol de la Vida, where I have lived, is not going to be the same as Arizona-Sonora, which is right across the street,” Salas said. “(The association) does give the opportunity for people to come and share those experiences because it can be difficult sometimes living on campus and there’s a lot of great things about it also.”

In addition to the sources of involvement and support within the residence hall community, many students who live on campus say there are other benefits to dorm life.

“It’s convenient,” said Bernardo Jimenez, a junior studying astronomy and physics who lived in Posada San Pedro residence hall his freshman and sophomore years. “You can roll out of bed 10 minutes before class starts and still make it on time.”

For others, the people they met and lived with was what made living on campus worthwhile.

“I would say the benefits are that you get to be in close proximity with so many different people that you share interest with and you share classes with,” said Alex Chang, a bio-

Greek Life: ‘Something everyone should try’

By David Weissman Arizona Summer Wildcat

This fall, incoming freshmen will have the opportunity to join the UA’s extensive greek community on campus, which includes more than 50 fraternities and sororities spread over four different governing bodies. With 1,600 men and 2,200 women as members of greek letter organizations on campus, 13 percent of the student population is in Greek Life.

According to some students, being involved in Greek Life can be an intense but rewarding experience. Morgan Abraham, an engineering management junior and president of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, said that joining a fraternity or sorority is something that everyone should try.

“My fraternity experience so far has been unreal,” Abraham said. “Between the people I’ve met, things I’ve done, and things I’ve learned, joining a fraternity has been by far one of the smartest decisions I’ve made. While I have a lot of fun, for me the best part about being in a fraternity is the leadership and business I’ve learned. It’s been an amazing experience and I recommend everyone at least try it.”

Sororities and fraternities are known as social organizations, but they are also very involved in charity and volunteer work. Kim Gould, a psychology sophomore and member of the Sigma Kappa sorority, said that being involved in Greek Life has also influenced her to become more active in volunteer work with both the Arizona Cancer Center and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona.

“I’ve also found some of my best friends at college through my sorority,” she added, “I believe that’s made it 100 percent worthwhile.”

The Interfraternity Council is the governing body for fraternities on campus. There are 20 fraternities affiliated with the council on campus. In addition, there are two organizations returning to campus, Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

The Panhellenic Council, meanwhile, oversees 14 sororities at the UA, 11 of which have houses on campus.

“All of our chapters offer lasting friendships and a place to call home while at the University of Arizona,” said Panhellenic Council President Lexi Shinn. “When you go Greek, you don’t just join a chapter for four years, you gain a lifelong membership. My experience in

Campus IT services keep the UA wired

By Isaac Cox Arizona Summer Wildcat

Living in a technological age brings about new ways to learn in and out of the classroom, and the University Information Technology Services at the UA provides students with everything they need to get connected on campus.

The service works with several departments to provide students with a safe Internet infrastructure and other vital electronic resources. The Office of Student Computing Resources, or OSCR, allows students to reserve multimedia labs, computers, video camcorders, tripods and digital audio recorders.

“Not many people take advantage of the university systems,” said Matt Shepherd, a full-time phone technician for OSCR. “We have a lot of site licensed software.”

This particular service allows students and faculty to use an array of software at a free or reduced cost.

A valid UA NetID allows the user to download anti-virus products such as CounterSpy and Sophos Endpoint Security and Controls.

There are also 24 other programs offered for free that can help students in many different ways.

The service also features a 24-hour-a-day tech support center employed by students

and full-time faculty who are trained to provide technical assistance. Additionally, UAssist is an online support request center that provides over-the-phone technical support, and also serves walk-ins at their office in the Martin Luther King Student Center. The UA’s tech services are funded through the student IT fee, according to Andres Irigoyen-Au, a full-time support specialist and supervisor.

crashes on both Macs or PCs. “Whenever there is (a technological) emergency on campus, we handle it and know what to do to fix it,” said Conor Staples, a technical consultant and a senior studying optical sciences and engineering. “I’ve had a phone call from the tech support at the College of Engineering. They didn’t know what to do.”

The 24-hour tech support center also helps students understand what’s wrong with their computers, working side-by-side to fix it so that students can solve reoccuring issues on their own.

But students shouldn’t expect the tech support center to fix all problems within minutes, Irigoyen-Au added. Technical issues with computers, hardware or software can often take time to get fixed, and computers can be very susceptible to viruses even with antivirus software.

Getting connected UITS offers 24-hour tech support over the phone at (520) 626-TECH (8324). The department also helps walk-ins at their office, located in room 207 of the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center.

Going mobile Complete Furniture Campus programs keep students, faculty in motion

By Kyle Mittan Arizona Summer Wildcat

University departments and clubs are working to keep the campus community moving, with more than a dozen programs currently in place or under development.

In order to accommodate a variety of transportation, Parking and Transportation Services has implemented 17 programs, services and studies in order to help students, faculty and staff get across campus every day.

As a university with heavy bicycle traffic, the UA sees roughly 11,000 to 12,000 bikes on campus on any given day during the regular school year, according to PTS Marketing Specialist Bill Davidson.

Six of the 17 programs implemented by PTS cater to the cycling community. In addition to bike racks situated throughout campus, a number of different service stations, a sharing program and a valet service are also offered.

Since November 2009, the Cat Wheels bike share program has allowed university students

and employees to check out a bike for a 24hour period from any of the seven parking garages throughout campus free of charge. The service has seen a 243 percent user increase from July 2011 to March 2012, according to PTS. At the west end of the UA Mall, a bike valet service has been running since September 2010, serving as a secure location to park bikes on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The valet has a 150-bike capacity and is also free. A station on the Mall near the Science-Engineering Library offers free minor repairs and bicycle registration on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Additionally, the UA Bicycle Area and Pedestrian Study, ending in June, intends to minimize the risk of collisions, as well as improve the university’s current bicyclepedestrian system by collecting feedback from community members at various forums held throughout campus.

Students and employees who use cars as their source of transportation are being accommodated with about 18,000 parking spaces throughout the seven garages and numerous parking lots.

UA departments aim to emphasize safety, wellness TireD of Walking yeT?

By Kyle Mittan Arizona Summer Wildcat

With so many students living within the UA’s square-mile campus and the surrounding community, health and safety can be a primary concern for many people. But several university departments offer resources to keep students, faculty and staff out of harm’s way.

Campus Health Service serves as a “onestop-shop” for addressing the health needs of everyone on campus, and is located in the Highland Commons building on Sixth Street, according to Health Promotion and Preventive Services Director David Salafsky. The department houses a pharmacy, several doctors available to diagnose illnesses and provide prescriptions and counseling services and treatments for depression and anxiety.

In addition to offering medical treatment, the department provides advice to students on a variety of topics, including alcohol and drug consumption, sexual health and maintaining a healthy state of mind amid a semester full of classes.

“The issue of alcohol is obviously probably the biggest drug of choice amongst students, and, as a result, it’s got a lot of potential to get in the way of a lot of the goals students have when they come to campus,” Salafsky said, adding that if students choose to drink, they should

do so with a designated driver, and to practice moderation by setting a limit on how many drinks to have in one sitting.

Lee Ann Hamilton serves as the assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services, and is a writer of the department’s SexTalk column, published weekly in the Daily Wildcat. Hamilton advises that students who choose to have sex should do so safely.

“If you have a penis, or if you have sex with a penis, put a condom on it,” Hamilton said, adding that only about half of the university’s first-year students report being sexually active.

“Not everybody’s having sex — it’s OK if you don’t,” she added.

The University of Arizona Police Department focuses on the well being of people on campus, and provides various services to help students feel safe.

The university has its own network of emergency phones throughout campus, known as blue-light phones, which dispatch calls directly to UAPD, according to Juan Alvarez, the department’s public information officer. Alvarez added that taking certain precautions while on campus can prevent issues in the first place.

“Most of the crimes that occur on campus are property crimes, and those are usually crimes of opportunity” Alvarez said. “What we stress is making sure that we remove that opportunity

With a diverse student body of nearly 40,000, the UA offers a number of services to students within various religions, ethnicities and sexual orientations to make them feel at home on campus.

Part of the university’s diversity statement says “We create opportunities for engagement across communities to increase our creativity, enhance our ability to think critically, and to fully realize our leadership potential,” according to the UA’s diversity website.

For LGBTQ and allied students, ASUA Pride Alliance is the club to join.

Greg Daniels, a Pride Alliance intern, considers the Pride Alliance space, located on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center, a home away from home.

“It’s nice to have a home base to go to between classes and know that someone nice will always greet you with a smile and strike up a conversation,” Daniels said.

Daniels said that the Pride Alliance space is also a great resource center for those who want to become better supporters of the LGBTQ community, or need more information about coming out or transitioning.

For students interested in learning about gender and equality, the Women’s Resource Center is located on the fourth floor of SUMC. According to the WRC’s website, their mission is “[to promote] gender equity through education, leadership development, and advocacy.”

Students from diverse ethic backgrounds, or students who simply want to learn more about other cultures, can visit one of the UA’s four cultural centers, which include African American Student Affairs, Asian Pacific American Student Affairs, Chicano/Hispano Student

Paying for parking can also be done via a smartphone application in certain lots by connecting to several newly installed solarpowered stations. Davidson added that 17,000 permits are currently being used, so there are plans to construct another garage in the coming years. He also advised students looking for places to park to arrive on campus between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., to better the chances of getting a spot.

Much like the Cat Wheels bike share program, a car-sharing service through Hertz On Demand also allows any UA affiliate 18 years or older to rent a car for $8 per hour. The program gives users a choice of several vehicles and the fee also covers fuel. Any UA affiliates who are interested in using the Sun Tran and meet a credit requirement can purchase a UPass from PTS at a subsidized price, allowing them to use any of the system’s routes. The

Affairs, and Native American Student Affairs.

“Our mission here is to serve our individual populations, to help comfort and feel a sense of community.” said Benjamin Mills, the centers’ coordinator.

Mills said that each cultural center has a club council and representatives, who come together to form program outreach activities and events for each heritage month. They also work together to host speakers or presentations on campus.

For students who want to immerse themselves in social justice and culture, they can apply for a space to live in the new Social Justice Wing, a new living community offered in Babcock residence hall.

Andrew Aslaksen, associate director of residential education, said that the Social Justice Wing is a live-and-learn community that offers students an opportunity to live in an accepting environment. According to Aslaksen, dorm room spaces have been filled, but interested students can still apply to be on the wait list.

Where to go African American Student Affairs is located in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center at 1322 E. First St. Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs is housed in the Cesar E. Chavez building, just north of Old Main. Asian Pacific American Student Affairs and Native American Student Affairs offices can be found in the Nugent building, directly across from the student union on the UA Mall.

university’s CatTran bus system is free to users, and stops at 58 locations during weekdays.

Several projects are also in the works to improve mobility on campus. The Tucson Modern Streetcar, which will run through the Warren underpass, then across campus on Second Street, Park Avenue and University Boulevard, is currently under construction and scheduled for completion by the end of 2013.

The streetcar will connect the campus with Tucson’s downtown area.

For anyone staying late on campus, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona offers Safe Ride, a student-run service that gives free rides across campus and to surrounding communities. Safe Ride operates as late as 1 a.m. five nights a week, and sees about 500 passengers on an average night, according to Adam Klever, a philosophy junior and Safe Ride’s administrative director.

UA offers hundreds of clubs

By Isaac Cox Arizona Summer Wildcat

With nearly 600 clubs on campus, the UA caters to just about any hobby or field of interest when it comes to getting involved on campus.

Associated Students of the University of Arizona is the primary organization for clubs and events on and off the UA campus.

“ASUA is run by the students for the students,” said Krystina Nguyen, executive vice president of ASUA and a senior studying biology.

Numerous programs, events, resources and services can be linked back to ASUA, most notably Safe Ride, the Student Health Advocacy Committee, Freshman Class Council, Feminists Organized to Resist, Create and Empower, Pride Alliance and Spring Fling.

“ASUA is a huge umbrella that oversees a lot of really big and cool things,” Nguyen added.

Arizona Allegiance is the only honorary club on campus that is recognized by the Arizona Athletics department and participates heavily

in sports games and UA Bear Down Fridays.

“We’re kind of like a spirit club,” said Joel Torres, a senior studying Spanish. “We promote spirit, overall involvement and provide more of an awareness or visibility to Arizona Athletics.”

For people who like a little adventure mixed in, outdoors club Camp Wildcat fits the bill.

Camp Wildcat takes Tucson youth on three camping trips every semester to promote team-building exercises and the pursuit of a college education. Fourth and fifth graders camp on Mount Lemmon for several days twice a semester, while another special adventure camp for middle schoolers meets at either Cochise Stronghold or Madera Canyon.

“All of the friendships that I’ve made with the people I met at Camp Wildcat have been absolutely amazing,” said Kseniya Efremova, a senior studying sociology, Spanish and Russian. “There are hundreds of other clubs at the UA that you can be involved in, but I think that just getting to go away for the weekend is so refreshing.”

Students make use of on-campus tutoring

By Stephanie Casanova Arizona Summer Wildcat

With three locations on campus, the Think Tank offers students an array of help, be it with an English 101 essay, a cover letter for a job application or math problems.

Tressa Points, a sophomore studying pre-pharmacy and mathematics, said she enjoys going to the Think Tank with a group of classmates, adding that they help keep her focused. Points, as well as molecular and cellular biology student Bridgette Peña, are taking a summer session of Calculus II which condenses a usual semester-long course into five weeks.

“If I do have a question it’s nice to have

someone there who can try to explain it to me and who can help me better understand,” Points said.

The Think Tank provides free drop-in tutoring in math, science, Spanish and writing.

The service also provides weekly reviews for a select number of courses and group study sessions facilitated by UA students for free.

Some fee-based services provided by Think Tank are one-on-one hour-long tutoring sessions, college survival sessions, exam preps and graduate test prep courses.

Since it opened in the fall of 2009, the Think Tank has had over 100,000 visits, 42,424 of which occurred last year, accord-

chemistry sophomore who lived in Arbol de la Vida and will be an RA in Manzanita-Mohave residence hall this upcoming year. “That way you have the great opportunity to meet a lot of people who you can study with or socialize with.”

In terms of academics, several students said that spending the first semesters of college on campus is what likely helped them get good grades, adding that they may not have done as well had they not lived in a dorm. According to the Residence Life website, freshmen living on campus have a grade point average that is 11.8 percent higher than those living off campus, and living on campus for at least one year gives a student a 46 percent higher chance at graduating.

Scotty Thompson, a sophomore studying history and political science, said he earned perfect grades this year, and that living on campus was likely a major factor.

“I was just so close to class and I could just walk back to my dorm and immediately do homework,” Thompson said. “There’s not a disconnect between where you’re living and where you’re learning.”

Although the dorms have many things to offer to residents, some students said that there are a few drawbacks. According to Jimenez, the cost to living on campus is nearly double the cost of living in an apartment near the university. Jimenez also said that there is always less privacy in a dorm room than an apartment.

Thompson agreed, adding that with an

July 25-31, 2012 • News RA constantly monitoring the hall, it feels like someone is always watching.

“It’s basically like you’re living there and you have chaperones the whole time, even though we’re like adults,” he said. “You’re afraid to basically do things because you don’t want to get yelled at or get caught. My specific RA wasn’t very overbearing, but I know a lot of other people’s were.”

In terms of advice for incoming dorm-bound freshmen, many residence hall veterans said the same thing: Keep an open mind.

“Be open to everything,” Jimenez added. “It’s not the end of the world if you have a messy roommate or something small like that. It’s a learning experience, and it’ll benefit you in the long run.”

fraternities.

Recruitment is the week-long process for joining a sorority and is relatively formal.

Prospective sorority members, known as Potential New Members, or PNMs, move in early, on August 12. Recruitment events last from August 13-16. A formal invitation to join a Greek organization, known as bids, are given on Sunday, August 19.

Incoming freshmen who want to participate in recruitment must register by August 1 and pay a registration fee of $100. Late registrations or walk-ons are not allowed.

There is no required grade point average to join a sorority, but the Panhellenic Council recommends a 3.0 high school grade point average, or 2.5 college.

“For both incoming freshman and older girls that may be rushing, the whole recruitment process can definitely be pretty indimidating,” Gould added. “It’s a lot of bouncing, cheering and small talk — until you find the house that’s right for you. It’s like the right shoe; when you find it, you’ll know.”

The process for joining a fraternity is known as rush, and, unlike sorority recruitment, it is informal. Rush events this year last from Aug. 27 to Aug. 31, with fraternity bids being given out on Sept. 1. The registration deadline for rush is Aug. 26, and the fee is $30.

Members of fraternities or sororities who have not yet been initiated are known as “pledges.” Unlike sororities, fraternity pledges

must have a minimum GPA of 2.75 in high school or 2.5 in college.

ASUA also assists students with the process of starting their own clubs.

The recognition procedure is a threestep process: Once a student has an idea about what he or she would like their club to be about, they have to attend one club recognition assembly. Dates of the assembly can be found at clubs.asua.arizona. edu. The assembly provides information on how clubs work and how they should be conducted on campus. The club is then told to make an OrgSync account, which connects their resources to departments across the UA. The club is finally charged a $30 fee by the ASUA, which provides them with opportunities for funding and room use for weekly meetings at the UA. A list of all clubs at the UA can be found at arizonaorgs.orgsync.com.

THINK TANK FROM PAGE 7

ing to Victor Mercado, assistant director of the Think Tank. While most students visit the Think Tank just once, others become frequent visitors, averaging between 60 and 70 visits per year.

In order to be a tutor, the student must have already taken the course they are tutoring in, have gotten an “A” or “B” in that course and have extensive knowledge of that subject.

“They have very different approaches to tutoring,” Mercado said. “Sometimes we let the students drive the session, other times we’ll let the tutor be more involved.”

Points, who took Calculus II last semester and is having to re-take it this summer, said she spent a lot of time in the Think Tank last semester studying math. She explained that some tutors have to teach math a specific way in order to understand what the student is trying to do, while others ask the student to explain the steps and are more flexible with teaching techniques, she added.

“It really does depend on the tutor, whether it’s helpful or not,” Points said.

Online tutoring is also available for math courses up to Calculus II and for writing.

“I don’t think that students should take it as a challenge to their own skills but more as an opportunity to grow and learn something new,” Mercado said.

Other tutoring and studying assistance centers include the SALT Center, CATS Academic services for student-athletes and the

Writing Skills Improvement Program.

The SALT Center helps students with learning and attention challenges by providing individualized learning plans, study sessions, learning strategies instruction, psychological services, assistive technologies and leadership and social programs.

They also have writing, math and science skill development seminars.

CATS provides student-athletes with advising, tutoring, course selection and individualized study planning, according to its website.

The Writing Skills Improvement Program provides free writing tutoring sessions where students enroll and are matched with a tutor who they work with throughout the semester.

The program also has drop-in tutoring for those who prefer periodic help rather than regularly scheduled sessions all semester.

An appointment is necessary for drop-in tutoring, and students have the option of going to the main program location or one of the cultural student centers.

Departments provide help for high school transition

By Stephanie Casanova Arizona Summer Wildcat

Transitioning from high school to college challenges students to be independent and social as they balance intensive course requirements and a life outside academics. Academic Success and Achievement aids the transition process by overseeing a group of programs, including New Start and Prodigy, that assist students in their academic success and retention at the UA, according to their website.

New Start is a bridge program that allows incoming freshman to obtain college credit the summer before their first semester in college, while Prodigy is a mentoring program where students meet with a peer adviser bi-weekly their freshman year. The program also has weekly workshops for first-year students as well as social events to help students make connections on campus.

“I think it’s just really fantastic to see the students come through and to see how much they grow, how much they develop,” said Mary Frances Kuper, director of New Start and Prodigy.

Students who are first-generation, low income or have a disability qualify for Student Support Services, a federally funded TRiO program, while they work to obtain their bachelor’s degree. Like Prodigy, TRiO students meet with a peer adviser and participate in workshops, as well as cultural and social events.

While Prodigy is a program for first year students, most TRiO students remain in the

program for their undergraduate career. As TRiO students advance in college, they meet with their adviser less often and the workshops focus less on transitioning and the students’ specific situations and more on their college career, graduate school, the workforce and life after college.

“I think the goal is that by the time they get to that stage (senior year), they’re connecting with faculty and have internship opportunities,” said Christine Salvesen, director of Academic Success and Achievement.

TRiO students also see a writing and math skills coach their first year for tutoring, which is mandatory due to statistics suggesting that students who are low-income or first-generation are less likely to go to tutoring, according to Michelle McKelvey, director of TRiO at the UA. Student Affairs Outreach and Early Alert is a program that reaches out to freshmen who live off-campus. The program hires 15 outreach facilitators to help a group of about 100 students find resources and make connections within the school. The program also has office hours to give students the opportunity to meet their facilitator in-person.

“Our students who are living off campus … they sometimes miss out on some of those opportunities (that freshmen who live in residence halls have),” said Jennifer Ludwig, student affairs outreach assistant director. “And it can also be more of a challenge for them to feel a sense of community here on campus.”

One of the program’s goals is that students who live off-campus are as well informed as

those who live in residence halls about events happening on campus, or resources for students on campus, Ludwig said. The program and its facilitators ensure that students get the same information as those who live in the dorms, she added.

Outreach facilitators send out a weekly newsletter informing students about events and resources on campus. They also write blogs so that off-campus students can know what it’s like to go to tutoring or talk to a professor or go to some of the events outlined in the newsletters.

“Talking to a professor … I know can be very scary the first time you do it,” Ludwig said. “But it’s actually much easier than you think and most people don’t die afterwards.”

Student Affairs Outreach and Early Alert also does course-based outreach for larger freshman classes. They send emails to students checking in with them and offer to help with resources or other problems in order to ensure that student keeps their grades up in those classes.

“Sometimes it’s not that you failed the test, it’s that something’s going on at home and you need to deal with that before you can focus on your academics,” Ludwig said.

According to Salveson, Prodigy has a retention rate of 83 to 86 percent, compared to the 77 percent first-year retention rate of the university as a whole.

“It’s a great place to be … It’s a really welcoming environment,” Garcia said. “It only motivates you to work harder every time … the help is always there.”

for a crime to occur as much as we can.”

Maintaining control of property at all times is a key factor in avoiding the loss or theft of personal items.

Additionally, when traveling across campus, Alvarez advises that students travel in well-lit areas, and avoid using cell phones when walking across campus alone as they can distract the user from his or her surroundings.

“Just basically be aware,” he added, “and if you absolutely see anything suspicious, report it to us.”

UA vs. ASU Rivalry

Get to know your enemy: Arizona State scum devils

Courtney L’Ecuyer Arizona Summer Wildcat

Congratulations on choosing to attend the University of Arizona, the best school in the state. Wildcat students are a special breed: we bleed red and blue, our diplomas aren’t counterfeit and we know more than one way to insult our enemy, the Arizona State scum devils. Here’s why it’s so easy to make fun of that “school.”

The UA and ASU rivalry dates back to 1899 when the pair faced off on the football field in the first Territorial Cup, and is listed by the NCAA as the oldest trophy rivalry in all of college football. Needless to say, Arizona leads the series 47-37.

We’re talking decades upon decades of insults, jokes and various demeaning phrases. So read closely and take notes because you have my full permission to regurgitate all of this to your Phoenix friends.

Most people change their name because the one chosen by their mother is deeply mortifying. Take Tempe Normal School

for example, ASU’s original name. They spent too many athletic seasons with “The Normals” printed across their chest that they resorted to changing their name. That’s a confidence booster.

But in fact, they are living up to their original name. Arizona State is known for its quantity of students, not quality. They may have the largest undergraduate student body in the state and nation, but many of the 56,562 scum devils attend for reasons other

“

than seeking academia. They’ve gained reputations for being dumber than cavemen, more promiscuous than Playboy girls and less likely to obtain a degree, with a 32 percent four-year graduation rate, according to a USA Today national college study.

The running joke on campus is that Sparky is Satan and Mario’s troubled offspring. It burns when Sparky pees. The required “ASU 101” colloquial course teaches incoming freshman to memorize, “Would you like fries with that?” Or the classic jab, “Your STD ratio is higher than your literacy rate.”

So with the fall semester upon us, be grateful for choosing such a reputable school. UA is known for ZonaZoo, one of the biggest student fan sections in the country. We have one of the largest Greek Life systems, the best baseball team in Pac12 history, a renowned medical research institution and some of the best hiking trails and sunsets in all of Arizona. We share the colors of our nation’s flag, our mascots Wilbur and Wilma have been happily married for 26 years, and most importantly we love being part of a tradition that values class over ass, intellectuals over “defectuals” and a degree of academic accomplishment over a certificate of participation.

But remember, at the end of the day we are all human. We poke fun in the spirit of college rivalry but we can’t help that some of us just make better college choices than others.

College is the first time many people will live in the same room as another human being, let alone a human being they’ve never met before. It can be a stressful experience and a big adjustment, but coming from an experienced college student, here are some tips to making the experience enjoyable for both roommates.

Share your food

Dorm room mini-fridges are very small and there is little space for refrigerated food. Instead of bickering over space, a simple solution is to just share. Go to

Communication is key

Any good relationship is built on a foundation of openness and understanding.

Keep an open dialogue with your roommate by asking how their day went or how they like their classes so far. Most importantly, communicate any issues that come up immediately, rather than letting the problem fester in your mind all year until the stress of finals causes you to boil over.

The chances are, they didn’t even know there was a problem. Notes, however, do not count as communication. From experience, a sticky note on dirty dishes that reads “unacceptable” is not helpful.

Hang out with each other

Student housing assignments are not

completely random. Roommates can also be paired according to commonalities and shared interests. Find out each others similarities and exploit them. My roommate freshman year loved beating me at NCAA Football 2010; it wasn’t much fun for me and I could never muster more than a touchdown or two, but it kept him happy and me sane. That ended up being the only thing we ever did together, but it was enough. College is unlike anything else you will ever experience in life. Give people a chance.

Be hygenic

A smelly roommate leads to a smelly room, and nobody likes a smelly room.

Load up on body wash and make sure you shower every day. Most people don’t realize they smell bad until someone tells them because they get used to their own

Catch Z’s to earn “A’s” Michael Carolin Arizona Summer Wildcat

The college triangle, a popular concept in college, says students can only choose two of three corners on the triangle — grades, social life or sleep — while the third corner suffers.

Sleep deprivation is an epidemic among college students, and those at the University of Arizona are no different.

A 2011 UA study found that the average student receives less than seven hours of sleep per night, even though the National Sleep Foundation recommends our age group to receive anywhere between 7 and 9.25 hours.

Sleep deprivation has more consequences than just missing out on your nightly dreams. Lack of sleep can severely harm your academics by hindering your productivity, alertness and the ability to remember information.

Your health can suffer too, including heightened risks of weight gain, diabetes, heart disease and depression.

As the number of hours spent sleeping dwindle away, many students turn to coffee, energy drinks, caffeine pills or other sources of energy to compensate for their loss of sleep. For some, caffeine becomes a daily necessity, and the only thing keeping them from falling asleep in class, or worse, at the wheel.

Caffeine may temporarily help to alleviate your fatigue, but don’t mistake it as a substitute for sleep. Full-on rest is the only process that can restore your body to its optimal state, and neglecting that rest comes with many negative side effects.

Caffeine withdrawals will leave you with throbbing headaches, heavy exhaustion and bad moods. It even disrupts the sleep you do get, as the chemicals can linger in your body for up to 10 hours after your first sip of coffee, keeping you awake in the wee hours of night and reducing the duration of vital deep sleep.

If this all sounds intimidating, it should.

Maintaining good sleep habits should be on top of your to-do list if you want to perform well in college. According to the Associated Professional Sleep Society, students who routinely went to sleep early

In addition to avoiding caffeine, here are a few other tips from National Sleep Foundation that can help you obtain the best sleep you need to succeed: • Make a sleep schedule and stick with it.

Whatcha gonna do when the cops come for you?

Max Efrein Arizona Summer Wildcat

The party is popping. The raspy voice of Lil Wayne fills the apartment. Partygoers stand mesmerized as a Ping-Pong ball is thrown back and forth, dance the night away and flood the kitchen to down shots like water. Everyone is having a great time, until a loud knock sounds on the door.

Someone answers: it’s the cops.

The news passes over the party like a fog, gradually weaving its way to the back of the apartment until finally, it hits you.

As if adrenaline was just thrust into your heart, your survival instincts shock you sober.

Now I know what you’re thinking: “I’m drunk, I’m underage, I just got to college, my parents are going to kill me.”

First of all, take a deep breath. Secondly, you’re on the fourth floor, so there’s nowhere to go unless you know parkour.

Thirdly, the cops are letting you walk.

That’s right: you’re free to go.

This is the usual result of a party bust, and it is often due to a noise complaint from a next-door neighbor, according to Sergeant Chris Widmer, a public relations officer with the Tucson Police Department.

“It’s just a matter of resources,” Widmer said. “It would be great if we could check everyone’s ID to see who’s of legal drinking age and who’s not, but if we took the time to do all that, we would be neglecting the 10 million other calls we receive on weekend nights about unruly gatherings.”

The resident of the house or apartment is not so lucky, however. They are issued a red tag, which is an extremely common practice and has recently been added to the TPD’s “general orders” due to the increase in shootings and DUI’s in recent years, according to Widmer. Officially termed an “unruly gathering order,” red tags are in place for 180 days and come

smell. Sometimes, you can’t trust your own nose. This applies to food as well. The food you grew up eating may smell normal to you, but to others it can be overpoweringly bad. Indian food is delicious, but you should probably stick to eating it at the restaurant. Finally, get some Febreze for the bathroom: you know why.

Like any new experience, dorm life is what you make of it. You can either be the

with a minimum $100 fee, as well as a notification that if the resident commits more offenses within the designated time period, they will be fined again.

It’s now creeping into the early hours of the morning. Your party of choice was just busted, what do you do now?

There’s are a number of common scenarios. A group of people, perhaps friends, may wish to hop to another party. This sometimes works out, but it’s only really worth it if you have a designated driver or the party is within walking distance as taking a taxi is a pain. By the time you get to the next party, it may have already died down or been busted as well.

Another option is a late night food venture. These are typically pretty fun, but once again, getting there can be a bit of a hassle. The Taco Shop, Nico’s, and Highland Market tend to be the most popular late night food locations near and on campus, but there is always Subway and Mama’s Hawaiian BBQ located on Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard if you’re looking for something a little more low-key.

The last and most common post-busted party scenario is simply going home. This is sometimes the best choice, because the less time you spend wandering around Tucson intoxicated the better, especially considering there were over 450 minor in possession charges given out by TPD in 2011.

One could say that the solution to not getting an MIP is simply not to drink alcohol before you’re 21, but that would almost be like saying if you don’t want an STD, don’t have sex. Being that this is college we are talking about, many of you will undoubtedly ignore such a suggestion.

No matter what path you end up taking after a late night out, always play it safe if you have been drinking. Don’t drive, don’t get in the car of others who have been drinking, and don’t associate yourself with belligerently drunk people, because you’ll only attract unwanted attention.

Bathroom Diaries: Avoid filthy, crappy UA toilets Robert Alcaraz Arizona Summer Wildcat

Students have to poop, it’s part of campus life. Whether it’s five minutes after eating at Panda Express in the Student Union Memorial Center or during a lecture in the Social Sciences building, going to the bathroom is factored into our daily lives.

Although, if nature calls when you’re on campus, things can sometimes get messy.

The University of Arizona has more than 100 individual toilets on its campus, but

none of those bathrooms are as filthy and all around repulsive as those inside the Main Library.

When walking into one of the bathrooms on any of the five floors of the library, it resembles the aftermath of a malicious attack.

Toilet paper is strung on the floor like a white-trash red carpet at an Oscar premiere and an overwhelming foul smell contaminates the air. There’s graffiti plastered on the walls and the stall doors give users a smack in the face every time they sit down. While the toilets are often clogged from overuse of toilet paper, the trash cans frequently overflow with used paper towels that find their way onto the floor and eventually stick to the bottom of your shoes, resulting in an even more annoying experience.

This could all be tolerated if there wasn’t one thing that pushes me over the edge.

On more than one occasion, I have walked into the bathroom on the fourth floor of the Main Library to find not only urine splattered across the already soiled floor, but also feces laced on toilet seats.

Whether this is the fault of the custodial staff that “sometimes” clean the guts of the library each day, or the fault of a few immature UA students who never learned how to aim, the bowels of the bathrooms are heinous. In fact, it could even be that due to the UA being public and open to everyone, the library could be contaminated with a wide spread profusion of homeless people that can often be spotted doing nothing but drooling over the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center computers to watch porn. The

homeless could be using these toxic waste dumps of bathrooms to not only relieve themselves, but to shower as well. In such a public place, it could be any of these reasons.

Regardless of whose shoulders the fault falls on, these bathrooms are absolutely putrid and should be taped off from the rest of campus. The fact is, the confines of these lavatories are the worst on the entire UA campus and should be avoided at all possible costs.

Students, if you must poop in a public bathroom, don’t use the Main Library bathrooms, because then you might have to throw up too.

Take advantage of campus resources the three locations — in Bear Down Gymnasium, the Park Student Union or the Student Recreation Center — and sign in.

Michael Carolin Arizona Summer Wildcat

Starting college is an intimidating experience, especially when you’re joining more than 40,000 students at a school like the University of Arizona. The campus is much harder to navigate than your average high school, and classes will demand more discipline and hard work from than anything freshman have encountered before. Fortunately, the UA is brimming with resources to serve as a guide for success.

Here is a list of a few important resources students should get familiar with.

The Think Tank

Office of Student Computing Resources Higher education sometimes necessitates the need for higher-end tools.

Whether that’s advanced software or specialty gear such as digital audio recorders, the price can quickly burn a hole in your wallet even with student discounts. The Office of Student Computing Resources allows students with CatCards to freely use a wide range of technology, gear and services that otherwise may have cost them a fortune. OSCR has several labs across campus, each containing powerful computers equipped with over 100 pre-installed software applications like Photoshop and Excel that can suit most of your school needs.

To print from a computer, simply install the print drive from the WEPA website, choose the closest kiosk as your printer, press print, swipe your CatCard to pay at the kiosk and the essay prints instantly. The kiosk is also equipped with USB ports for flash drives.

Some college attendees hold a misconception that only inept students need tutoring. But those who take advantage of all the resources available to them, including tutoring, are the most successful. The Think Tank is a tutoring service that provides relatively quick and easy help for everything from math, to writing, to science. Paid for by a portion of the $80 academic services fee added included in tuition, the Think Tank hires the brightest students of numerous disciplines to offer aid with difficult coursework so that you can obtain the best grades possible.

Choosing which class to take every semester is often a gamble. Students know little about potential teachers besides names, and those certainly won’t tell them whether the teachers are effective or not.

While websites like ratemyprofessor.com can help students hear their classmates’ opinions on teachers, the ratings on those sites are usually biased and inaccurate representations of actual student opinion.

College libraries have become a second home for many students. Libraries here at the University of Arizona are no different, and are prime locations for studying due to their quiet and relaxing atmospheres.

There are five primary libraries: • The Main Library is the largest and contains books, periodicals, microforms, maps and government documents relating to social sciences, humanities, fine arts, business and education. It’s located just south of the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center, next to Bear Down Gymnasium. This is perhaps the ultimate place to study due to its convenient location in the middle of campus and abundant space.

The Honors College is not worth the price Max Efrein Arizona Summer Wildcat

The University of Arizona Honors College is a “home away from home” for some, but others may be better off dedicating their time and money to something that carries more weight in their future.

Quite a few privileges are afforded to honor students, such as the opportunity to live in one of the two honors-only dorms: Yuma and Arbol de la Vida. These dorms are meant to facilitate an environment of like-minded individuals to network with. Another privilege is priority registration, which allows honors students to register for classes at the same time juniors do regardless of their status, making it easier to get into some of the more popular courses before they fill up. A third perk is having access to the more than 200 honors-only courses, which are often the most interesting and unique.

Aside from those major benefits, there are a few other prestigious reasons to be in the honors college. Honors students are eligible for a number of specialized grants, scholarships and clubs, are granted permission to attend special events sponsored by the Honors College — one of which was visiting the Dalai Lama in San Diego last year — and having access to study halls and rooms that ordinary undergrads do not.

“Initially it seems like a good idea, it isn’t that expensive when compared to tuition and your degree looks more prestigious,” said Kaushik Goswami, a junior honors student at the UA. “Once you actually experience it though, it can be underwhelming.”

Unless you take full advantage of the opportunities presented to you by the Honors College by fully immersing yourself in it, it’s probably not worth the extra tedious work and significant fees that come along it, according to

Goswami.

To graduate with honors, you not only have to take up to 30 units of honors courses, which are required to push students beyond the regular class work, but you also have to have a minimum 3.5 grade point averge and produce a thesis before you graduate. This thesis can be seen as a pain, but it can be a unique opportunity to develop something truly representative of your time in college, and can consist of anything that exemplifies your four years of study, such as a paper, a play or even a video. Some students who do make it into the Honors College only stick with it until their junior year due to the priority registration perk. Others are in it for the long haul. It all depends on whether you feel graduating with honors will truly assist you in reaching those goals.

If you plan on applying to graduate school, then yes, graduating with honors will most likely help you get in. But as for its usefulness out in the job market, the label itself doesn’t do you much good.

The top two attributes employers are looking for are what degree you graduated with, and what leadership positions you’ve held according to the 2012 Job Outlook Survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. The same survey also determined that 73 percent of employers plan to screen candidates by GPA and that 74 percent prefer to hire candidates with relevant job experience. Many employers won’t even look at your resume if it indicates that you have below a 3.0.

Being in honors may provide you with a few extra opportunities to develop some of these traits, but it is by no means a determining factor as to whether these traits are obtainable or not.

If you’re after the prestige factor, go for it.

Otherwise, don’t bother. You’re just as well off, if not better, simply focusing on getting good grades, getting a couple internships under your belt and networking.

Top 10 college myths busted 4

Class sizes are outlandishly large

Courtney L’Ecuyer Arizona Summer Wildcat

College is indescribable. No words do it justice until experienced firsthand. But there are some vital things to make clear about the next few years at the University of Arizona.

We call them gaps in education. Important subjects that were taught inaccurately throughout our childhood and high school years. The belief that college is like Animal House, that class will be a walk in the park or that it’s a great idea to pursue that hot English teacher. Counterfeit notions, misconceptions, shams, and falsities, otherwise known as myths. To save you embarrassment on campus, in class or at a party, here are the 10 college myths every UA student should know.

1

Without a major, you’re a failure

Don’t fret about declaring the perfect major or having a road map of your life planned out. Most students change their major three to four times. The first two semesters are filled up with general education classes, so don’t rush into a major until you have to. The first year of college is to find new interests, expand your horizons and you’ll have the rest of your life to find a career.

The “Freshman 15” exists

You will not gain 15 extra pounds unless you religiously eat junk food and cement yourself to your bunk.

New studies suggest the new term is the “Freshman 3” where the Social Science Quarterly estimates new college students’ gain on average three pounds. The best way to avoid weight gain is to avoid sugary drinks, eat healthy 80 percent of the time, take advantage of intramural sports and utilize the Student Recreation Center, which stays open until midnight during the school year.

3

All fraternities and sororities have houses

UA Greek Life consists of more than 51 chapters but only 13 fraternities and 11 sororities are housed on campus.

Besides social fraternities there are business fraternities such as Alpha Kappa Psi, agricultural fraternities such as Alpha Gamma Rho and even an engineering fraternity, like Theta Tau, a chapter since 1930. UA has one of the largest Greek Life systems in the nation and while many stereotypes exist, a good majority of them are also myths.

The UA has a 30:1 student to teacher ratio according to The Princeton Review.

Granted this is an average of all students freshman through senior year, but the class size is not nearly as grandoise as imagined.

There will be those select general education courses held in Centennial Hall that are giant, but courses after the first semester become increasingly smaller. Teachers will know you by name if you sit near the front, participate in discussions and visit office hours. All of which will improve your grade, guaranteed.

5

All Tucson’s Mexican food is made equal

Arizona is filled with amazing Mexican restaurants, but take caution as not all taste delicious. Chips and salsa, enchiladas, giant burritos and steak fajitas are on most menus but the joints that do it the best are St. Mary’s on Saint Mary’s Road, Guadalajara Grill on Prince Road, Mariscos Chihuahua on Grant Road and Blanco Tacos and Tequila up at La Encantada Mall, a favorite for their fish tacos. For cheaper middle of the road Mexican grub students hit up The Taco Shop on Broadway, El Guero Canelo on 22nd Street or Nico’s Taco Shop on Grant Road.

6

You should study 24/7

Most students perform better academically when they give their brains a break. The best advice for how to structure the week is to treat it like a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. job. Be as productive as possible in the eight core hours of your day and then in the evenings there will be time to relax, work out, socialize or explore Tucson. There will always be those exceptions when extra evening studying is mandatory to prepare for an exam, but don’t make yourself do that every single day of the week.

7

College is affordable

Your parents might have an abundance of wealth. Money may grow on trees, but guess what? In Tucson, trees don’t grow very well, and eventually we as students need to sustain a livable income independently. College is expensive.

Academic scholarships will only cover so much. For those lucky students on them, tuition increases are not included, food is expensive, boutiques on University Boulevard are enticing and nails look better painted by professionals. Kiss goodbye hundreds of dollars faster than one can say “Oh my gosh, are those Steve Maddens?”

College is a time to live frugally. Find more

Letter from the editor Welcome to the Wildcat Miranda Butler Arizona Summer Wildcat

The first time I picked up a copy of the Wildcat wasn’t for the noblest of purposes. It was my first week of classes as a freshman, and I saw that many of the students in my English and creative writing courses liked to do the daily crossword puzzles. Eager to join them, I grabbed my first issue.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much when I picked up the Wildcat that day. I mostly just assumed that it was put out by the journalism school, or even the university itself. And as a more creatively inclined writer, I had always viewed newspapers as generic and bland, as if written by nameless automatons.

Needless to say, I was wrong.

Though I never did complete that crossword, some of the articles piqued my interest. When I began to actually read the paper, I realized that it wasn’t just the same news I could get anywhere else. Instead, it was actually relevant to my life as a student, because these stories were written by students like me.

In fact, a few months later I learned that the Wildcat was looking for opinions columnists, and by the second semester of my freshman year, I myself was contributing to the paper.

It’s been three years since then, and in that

Invest in a piggy bank, volunteer at a nonprofit or suntan on the mall with your friends.

It will pay off in the long run.

It’s OK to skip class

Self-control is a skill that develops over time. It takes practice, discipline and doesn’t come naturally to most. This is where skipping class becomes a bad idea.

For example, you’re up late preparing for a chemistry exam and want a full eight hours of sleep, but one thing stands in the way, your lecture class at 9 a.m. Instances like these happen and often we skip. But then excuses will start to pile up and rationalizing becomes a habit. Even if the class doesn’t take attendance, study time will be saved if you buck it up, attend class and listen to the professor. Don’t trust your self-control radar just yet and don’t have more than three absences in classes.

Everyone drinks

Peer pressure changes from high school to college. It is no longer cool to

time I’ve had the privilege of working with many different aspects of the Wildcat, from opinions to arts and life to editor in chief.

Contrary to my original misconception that college papers were boring, I’ve learned what it really means to be a journalist, and part of “The independent voice of the university since 1899.”

Every Monday through Friday, more than a hundred student employees work tirelessly to make the Daily Wildcat happen. In order for each issue to come together, student employees from many backgrounds collaborate in order to share UA’s student perspective on what’s going on in the world.

But there’s another element to the Wildcat in addition to our hard-working team: you. In order to truly represent our community, we welcome feedback and interaction from all our readers. As the journalism industry evolves past traditional print newspapers, and moves into its new home on the Internet and social media sites, it’s easier than ever to get involved with the Wildcat, and help us stay true to our goal of fully representing the UA student body.

So as you gain exposure to the Wildcat this year, take a lesson from me and read more than just the crosswords. Have a news tip? An opinion that you’d like to share via letter to the editor? Whether it’s through social media, email or carrier pigeon, we want you to be part of the Wildcat, too.

make fun of the person who decides not to drink. In fact, that person might become your best friend and your designated driver. A poll showed that 30 percent of college students chose not to drink alcohol at all. Freshman year parties will be a mix of sober, tipsy, and highly intoxicated nerds, jocks, greeks and the party crashers that no one knows. Whichever category you find yourself in keep in mind one thing, jungle juice is not a Capri Sun flavor and drunk driving is never a good idea.

Tucson is dirty

Tucson is a gem. It just takes a little polishing to find the beauty. Mountains are visible from every part of the UA campus. Fourth Avenue screams with culture, sidewalk music, aromatic coffee shops, family-owned restaurants, energetic bars and soon, a new light rail system.

Downtown has historical theaters, hotels and music halls. Travel up to Mount Lemmon to feel a 20-degree drop in temperature or hike Sabino Canyon to feel on top of the world.

Tucson is not dirty, and if you see dirt or trash, do something other than repeating that phrase to your Phoenix friends. Clean it up, recycle, be a humanitarian for a day.

Don’t be a nuisance

Examples of the annoying people you’ll meet in class, so you won’t be one

By Morgan Toone

It’s impossible to avoid annoying people in class. They’re distracting, they’re a waste of perfectly good air and they happen to be very persistent. You can, however, avoid becoming one of these people, by doing your part to make a class a semi-pleasant experience for all.

row with every intention of answering every question before the professor even finishes their sentence. After the first 20 minutes of lecture, they proceed to debate on each point mentioned for the rest of class while the rest of us surf the web or doodle aimlessly wishing their voice box would malfunction. Taking up the entire class time with your incessant babble is not going to get you participation points, it will get everyone in class to hate you.

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

We’ve all been stuck next to that person who will not stop drumming a pen at hummingbird speed, tapping their foot on the tile or bouncing their leg a mile a minute as if they’re temporarily possessed by the Energizer Bunny. That’s not making class go by any faster, in fact, such incessant tweaking makes it much slower for the rest of us with each tap, tick and shake. Do us all a favor and sit still, shut up and space out in silence like the rest of us.

The over-achiever is somewhat like the Know-It-All in the sense that they both need to take a giant chill pill.

They waddle in on a Monday morning and make proclamations like, “Man, I’m so hungover,” or, “Oh my gosh, I’m never drinking again,” at which point they proceed to recap every event of their entire weekend. Once class begins, they decrease the volume of their voice only slightly and continue to brag about their recent alcohol consumption.

Get a life: We all party, and you’re probably a lightweight anyway.

The Sniffler

The sniffler is that severely sick student who should have stayed in bed, but decided to grace us all with their germs instead.

They cough and blow their nose through the duration of class, and are most apt to attend on a test day when the air is silent — minus the turning of pages and unrelenting sniffling. If you’re lucky, you might get a chorus of snifflers, who seem to sniffle on cue like a round of “Row Your Boat.” DayQuil up, stay home or cram tissues up your nose, but don’t be a sniffler.

Goodbye high school, hello university life Courtney L’Ecuyer ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Click your ruby red Toms together three times and repeat, “There’s no place like high school, there’s no place like high school.”

Dorothy was right. College is a completely different beast with starkly different values than those ingrained in high school. So start changing your mindset now.

Throw away the idea of popularity. First of all, whoever coined the term “popular” was probably talking about themselves, which is conceited and self-absorbed. In college, “popular” people are replaced by social ones, who are open, outgoing, amicable and sincerely interested in others’ lives. Social people are attractive. A social person enjoys meeting all types of people regardless of their appearance, upbringing, income status or interests.

Social people care about substance of conversation over the substances in your make-up. Social people thrive off of intellectual debate or witty humor, not immature jokes and caddy remarks. Social people can be extroverts and introverts. There is always a time for both. In college, don’t be afraid to let go of whatever is holding you back from being social.

The University of Arizona is a premiere college destination for 40,000 other undergraduates from all over the United States,

North America and across the globe. There is not a single individual with the same high school experience as you. It’s a chance to share, open up and learn about yourself and others.

It will severely hinder your college experience if you only associate with similar individuals. College is about expanding your academic horizons and adding to your list of first-time experiences. So what if the girl that sits next to you in class looks like a complete freak? Be social, find out why she is the way she is. Half of the fun in college, besides parties and football games, is learning why people are the way that they are. To put it simply, what makes people tick. In the process, you will find out what makes you tick too.

Try a yoga class with a new friend from the dorms, attend a new club meeting in the student union, start up a conversation with a stranger in a coffee shop or go to a new sporting event. Find out your passions and pursue them head on. Venture out of your norm and embrace new cultures.

And lastly, be kind. Your friend count will skyrocket and more academic doors will open if you treat people with kindness.

Professors will happily answer questions in office hours if you take a kind approach, peers will show the kind person respect, and employers will hire the kind employee.

At the end of your four years at UA if you can be confident that you were social and kind to the fullest degree, then you have figured out the greater purpose of college.

YOUR SUMMER GUIDE TO TUCSON MUSIC, MOVIES AND ART

EPIC ENTERTAINMENT EVERYWHERE How to live on campus and not go insane from boredom At Park Student Union:

By Brenton Woodward ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

CODE Gaming Lounge Right next to the east entrance of the Park Student Union, this gamer’s haven has all the major consoles and a good selection of games.

Single player rates are $2 per hour or $1 if you bring your own game and controller.

It’s easy to think of the UA campus as simply where you go to class or sleep away your day, but there are ample opportunities for entertainment on campus as well. Whether you’re in the mood for comedy or tragedy, video games or real-life competition, student or professional performances, there’s something to hold your interest within walking distance of your freshman algebra class. Here are some of your options:

KAMP Student Radio The KAMP Radio studio is on the southwest corner of the PSU courtyard. It’s a student-run radio station, and one of the partners within Arizona Student Media. Listen to the station’s broadcast on the speakers outside, or go in for a visit and see how college radio works.

At the Student Union Memorial Center: Gallagher Theater On the west side of the food court is the UA’s very own movie theater. Recently released movies are shown weekly and special events, like guest speakers and indie film premiers, are easy to come by. The Charles Darwin Experience, a comedy improv troupe, performs free shows there every Tuesday at 10:10 p.m.

The Cellar Games Room In the basement of the SUMC is the Games Room, with pool tables, a snooker table, ping pong tables, arcade games and Wii games. The Cellar Games Room is open 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Thursday through Saturday, and 10 a.m. to midnight the rest of the week. It’s cheaper with more people in your group, and even cheaper with your CatCard. There are also weekly pool, poker and Xbox tournaments.

Around campus:

SHELDON SMITH / DAILY WILDCAT FILE PHOTO

“Further off the Straight and Narrow,” a documentary by Katherine Sender, about LGBTQ representation in contemporary television, was screened at Gallagher Theater last semester as part of Coming Out Week.

The Cellar Bistro Right across from the Cellar Games Room is the Cellar Bistro — a restaurant and miniperformance venue. The Bistro hosts The Comedy Corner every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. with other occasional events, including concerts, benefit shows and poetry readings.

Preacher/Student Debates A perennial figure of campus life is the fundamentalist Christian preacher, known as Brother Jed, who harangues students on the grassy knoll just east of the SUMC. If you’re lucky, you might witness one or more students engaging this man in a civilized, philosophical shouting match.

Centennial Hall When top-billing artists, plays, musicals or personages come to UA, they’re presented in Centennial Hall. Events are scheduled throughout the academic year, and range from hip-hop concerts to guest lectures by Nobel laureates. Tickets are available at the box office or online through UA Presents.

Holsclaw Hall The music building, located near the northwest corner of campus, hosts musical performances, such as the annual Tucson Guitar Festival, student recitals and resident musicians. Some shows are free, while others

Save your car and yourself from the heat

By Alyssa Reilly ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Tucson living means once you leave the comfort of your air-conditioned house, you’ll be attacked by the blazing sun, which will similarly bake the interior of your car to alarming temperatures.

After just a few minutes in your oven on wheels, you’ll probably need to take another shower. And be careful, your seatbelt will probably leave a burn mark on

your arm.

If you don’t have the luxury of a garage or covered parking, here are some tips to keep the sun — and wear-and-tear on your AC system — at bay.

Find a tree

Sure, this is the desert, but hard-working landscapers have spent hours planting trees all over Arizona to camouflage the brownness of the Sonoran landscape.

Parking under a tree, even if it more closely

resembles a scrawny shrub, will help, because some shade is better than no shade.

Splurge on a sunshade

Trying to break down one of these indestructible monsters is time-consuming, but it really cuts down on the heat while protecting the interior of your car.

Vent before A/C

When you get into your car, roll down

the windows to allow the hot air to vent out quickly. Once you’ve cruised for a while, set the air conditioning to full blast: with the hot air out of the car, the cool air can circulate efficiently.

Tint your windows

Window tint is the most helpful of all, as it blocks thermal rays from entering your car. Thermal rays are produced by sunlight and cause interior spaces heat up.

Effectiveness varies with the shade of tint

How to live with a total stranger

screaming down the road and have a nice talk with your roommate about how it really rustles your jimmies when they slam the door after their 3 a.m. bathroom trip every night. Issues will arise, but it’s how you address them that dictates whether they become problems.

By Brenton Woodward Arizona Summer Wildcat

By far, one of the most important aspects of settling into college life is figuring out how to share a room with someone else for an entire school year. Some of you may be rooming with someone you already know, but many will be living with strangers they’ve never met. Just like an arranged marriage, with communication and perseverance the two (or more) of you can learn to live in harmony and rise above the chaos of other random-roommate pairings.

Have each other’s backs

Lay down some ground rules

Establish some basic do’s and don’ts from day one: When and what kind of visitors are allowed, which items can be shared and what the procedure is when one of you has a romantic rendezvous. If you’re in a dorm, your resident assistant will go over these types of things at the beginning of the year in your Roommate Agreement, but if you’re in an apartment, you’ll need to take this type of structure into your own hands.

Be flexible

Expect your roommate to have a far different personality and lifestyle than your own. You may also have different

photo illustration by kyle wasson / arizona summer Wildcat

expectations of each other. Some people want to be best friends with their roommates, while others are fine with rarely speaking to theirs. Be ready to compromise on various aspects of your living situation by respecting each other’s needs, instead of expecting them to completely change their habits for your benefit.

Share your feelings

Being flexible doesn’t mean bending over backwards to avoid confrontation. Instead of letting problems fester in your mind until you find yourself doing passive-aggressive things like hiding their toothpaste in the freezer, talk to your roommate outright about things that are bothering you. It’s amazing what can be solved with civil, reasoned discussion, so save the

Having a “survival of the fittest” attitude toward living with a roommate will hardly result in a positive relationship. What happens to one resident affects everyone living there, so don’t leave your roommate to fend for themself. Do each other small favors, build trust and come through in times of need if you expect to be treated the same way. You take their laundry down with you when you do yours, and they might just pick up that book you need from the library. You remind them to take their keys when they leave, they use their Congressional influence to bail you out when your Fortune 500 company goes bankrupt in the housing market collapse. Tit for tat.

Don’t be an asshole

Seriously, just be considerate. Try to put yourself in your roommate’s shoes. The worst roommates are the ones who do what they want and don’t even stop to think about whether it might be inconveniencing the person they share living space with.

Save money and eat well Stay thirsty, my friends

By Alyssa DeMember Arizona Summer Wildcat

So, you now have your CatCard — and if your parents pay for a meal plan, it seems almost like Monopoly money.

There’s a food court that you can go to whenever you want, without emptying your pockets to do so. However, all of those fast-food delights are going to lose their appeal after a few months, and on top of that, are way overpriced. Even students with a fixed meal plan can be smart about what they buy and get plenty of mileage on every dollar. Here is a bit of guidance on eating as a college student:

Be aware of “Happy Hour” and other savings

While the Student Union Memorial Center may change their weekly food discounts from year to year, there is usually some sort of deal going on. Sometimes it will reduce the price on a specific day or time. This is a great way to save money while slyly allowing for more frozen yogurt outings.

Go to Park Student Union

Many incoming freshmen who don’t live in Coronado, Arizona Sonora or Árbol de la Vida residence halls don’t even know this place exists — on Park Avenue,

north of Sixth Street — and it’s a hell of a lot better than SUMC. PSU’s crowd is much more sparse during the afternoon, and offers superior food choices for those bored with Chick-fil-A and Burger King.

The top level of PSU has a large, comfortable seating area and a few good food options, with custom sandwiches, wraps, burgers, chicken strips, fries and smoothies. The bottom level includes Bagel Talk and La Petite Patisserie, a quaint booth that serves up both sweet and savory crepes.

Try not to always depend on campus food or dining out

Going out to eat can be fun, and it’s great when you don’t feel like cooking.

University Boulevard, just off campus, has some nice restaurant options, including Pei Wei, Paradise Bakery and Frog & Firkin. Give Pasco a try, especially if you’re looking for vegetarian options.

That being said, it’s also good to cook for yourself every so often. Safeway, on Broadway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue, and Fry’s, on Grant Road and First Avenue, are fairly close by, so pick up some groceries and spend a night in the kitchen with a few friends for a refreshing change. Also, the amount of money saved going to the grocery store for food makes it all the more worth while.

By Morgan Toone Arizona Summer Wildcat

Messed up Monday

Head out to the historic Hotel Congress for $1 well drinks, $3 Dos Equis, and $4 vodka Red Bull from 9 p.m. to midnight. This renovated 1919 hotel-meets-nightclub is one of the hottest rock clubs in town and can be found at 311 E. Congress St. For more information, call 622-8848.

Tipsy Tuesday

Dirtbag’s Bar and Grill claims not only to be a Wildcat Tradition, but also “a part of growing up,” which makes it our Tipsy Tuesday location of choice. Pabst Blue Ribbon 10 ounce drafts are just one dollar from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Make sure you stop in before the kitchen closes at 11 p.m. for The Famous Dirtburger. Dirtbag’s is located at 1800 E. Speedway Blvd. just behind Greek Row. Call 326-2600 to ask about any other specials.

Wasted Wednesday

The week is half over, and that means Ladies’ Night at Cactus Moon. Drinks are $0.25 for the ladies from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and then $1.50 from 10 p.m. to close. Ten lucky ladies will win $100 each. The women love it and the men love the number of women. Cactus Moon is at 5470 E. Broadway Blvd. at the corner of Craycroft Road. You can call at 748-0049.

Thirsty Thursday

After a long week of hangovers, Thirsty Thursday is the perfect night to rage mildly and rest up for the weekend. Come to Boca Tacos y Tequila for $1 carne asada tacos and $1 beers.

Boca boasts 17 types of tacos and 40 types of tequila — definitely not for the weak of heart — and they are located at 828 E. Speedway Blvd.

Boca is open until 3 a.m. and offers delivery service. Be sure to call about their exotic taco night at 777-8134.

Fucked up Friday

Kick off the weekend at Bumsted’s Diner and Bar for Reverse Happy Hour. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Bumsted’s offers $2 wells and $3 drafts, as well as $4 car bombs all day long. Stop in at 500 N. Fourth Ave. at the corner of Sixth Street. For questions, contact at 622-1413.

Shit-faced Saturday

It is now mid-weekend and you should all be in full rage-mode. For a tropical getaway, head down to The Hut at 305 N. Fourth Ave. Here you will find the largest Moai tiki head in North America, as well as $2.50 Malibu cocktails and $5 Mai Tais from 9 p.m to 2 a.m. To learn more, call at 623-3200.

Join the club

By Alyssa Reilly

Arizona Summer Wildcat

As an incoming freshman, an unfamiliar place can be intimidating. You may find yourself wanting to curl up into a ball because you are afraid to venture out, afraid of change. But it is important to look past that to find the unknown. Exploring the unknown is crucial to growing up and having fun in life. Novelty keeps things fresh and this can begin with campus clubs.

Campus clubs are an opportunity to meet new faces and get your mind off missing your friends and family back at home.

“It makes a large university feel much smaller,” said Krystina Nguyen, executive vice president of Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

Last year, Nguyen counted approximately 585 clubs on campus. This campus has clubs ranging from Greek Life to any type of special interest group you can possibly think of.

But finding a club isn’t always easy.

In fact, you might want to go to a couple events which will allow you to meet club members and browse clubs before you join.

After the Freshman Convocation, head over to the Convocation Celebration, which will have a number of clubs

propped up for display. The event is on Sunday, Aug. 19 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the UA Mall across from McKale Center.

Another event to check out is the ASUA Fall Club Fair, gracing the Mall on Aug. 22. The annual event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and clubs will lined up for your convenience.

“It’s a great way to get their feet into the door and see everything the university has to offer,” Nguyen said.

Check out more information about the clubs on campus, including the very long list of clubs, at http://www.clubs.arizona. edu/.

Sunday Funday

All right, you’ve been partying for a week straight. It’s time to get an early start to your Sunday Funday before a brief study session (yeah, right) and calling it a night. At Trident Bar and Grill you will find seafood, sandwiches, burgers, 24 beers on tap — and on Sundays, happy hour lasts all day. So all beer and well drinks are $3, all day. Trident is located at 2033 E. Speedway Blvd. just east of Campbell Avenue. For more info, give ‘em a ring at 795-5755.

How to stay away from annoying hall mates

By Alyssa DeMember

to hang out. The sleepier you act, the sooner he’ll leave.

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Moving into a dorm is an exciting and adventurous rollercoaster of an experience, and as a freshman, it’s inevitable that you’re going to meet new people. A few of them will immediately stand out as best friendmaterial, but there’s always going to be that omnipresent person in your hall that you cannot stand. They’re most likely completely harmless, but more often than not, he or she is going to show up at bad times and try to push into your plans. Here’s a guilt-free avoidance plan that’ll keep them off your case.

The “just woke up” trick

Let’s say Annoying Guy comes knocking at your door at some random time of the day. If he continuously knocks and you just want to crush that flicker of hope that you’ll agree to hang out, make a loud, irritated groan, take about fifteen seconds, and then finally open the door. Make sure you are slouched against the door and be sure to put on a “half awake” routine: sleepy eyes, limp arms and slow, groggy responses. He will immediately feel bad that he “woke you up,” and since you are apparently not fully awake yet, he won’t keep asking you questions about whether you want

The last-minute homework excuse If Annoying Guy catches you somewhere in the dorm and asks what you’re up to, no matter where you are actually planning on going, tell him that you are headed straight for your room to finish a huge assignment that’s due in a few hours. He will probably try to set up some sort of homework hangout session, but you can immediately squash this by insisting that you are really stressed out and need to work alone in complete silence.

Annoying Guy can’t argue with a major assignment that’s supposedly due in a few hours. This is a pretty standard evasive tactic, but it works nonetheless.

Out of the loop

It’s probably a good idea not to mention your plans around Annoying Guy. Thinking of going out with your roommate for some special “roomie time”? He might take it as an immediate invitation to join in if you talk about it in front of him. If that fails, just let them hang out with you for a bit: the person you’ve tried so hard to avoid may not be all that bad after all.

when it’s time, you’ll forget and be the person who leaves their laundry in the machine for two days. Don’t be that person.

Know the Process

The campus washing machines take high-efficiency detergent, so make sure you use that kind. For regular laundry loads you shouldn’t need more than a quarter of a cap-full of liquid. Once you have the right soap, it’s pretty easy to figure out how to use the machines, even if you’ve never done this before. There are self-explanatory buttons on the machines themselves and helpful diagrams posted around the laundry room, including awesome stain removal tips. In the event that you do find yourself hopelessly befuddled by the prospect of washing clothes, ask someone for help.

Munchie cures within walking distance

By Razanne Chatila

Arizona Summer Wildcat

The late-night munchies overcome us all.

Whether you’re spending a late night in the library, hanging out with friends or partying until sunrise, hunger is bound to hit. Satisfy an insatiable appetite with a visit to these tasty — and convenient — spots near campus.

Highland Market

No meal is more memorable your freshman year than an oversized, warm, fluffy tortilla stuffed with eggs, potato, meat and salsa from

Highland. Crowds of students fill the small market, many wandering home after a night out and scarfing down customizable burritos of happiness that curb all types of cravings.

Burritos are served most of the day, and a whole store is available to browse. Since it’s located on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Highland Avenue, you can stop by Highland for a protein shake after a good workout in the Student Recreation Center across the street.

Grandma’s, but since it’s fresh — and delivered to your door — it’s pretty close. If a bountiful breakfast is what’s on your mind, Bacon and Craeegs at 601 N. Fourth Ave. will seem like the perfect choice. Open from midnight to noon, this small shop has everything from deliciously buttered pancakes to Eggs Benedict, sirloin to parfaits. Their wide variety makes Bacon and Craeggs an ideal place to rid yourself of those breakfast food munchies.

In desperate need of a home-cooked meal? This breakfast spot’s cooking may not be better than

Cheba Hut

Bacon and Craeggs

Being family-owned and operated — and

dedicated to all things cannabis — this is a great location for those pursuing a chill, laid-back atmosphere. About a 10 minute walk from campus, at 1820 Sixth St., it’s only a stoned throw away from campus. The staff is friendly and and serve an assortment of toasted subs, with names ranging from Ak-47 to Trainwreck to the (out of stock) Schwag, until 3 a.m. Cheba Hut is a good option if you don’t have a specific craving, and even have a special menu section for incredible munchies: rice krispie treats, “goo balls,” peanut butter and jelly and brownies abound.

ARIZONA ATHLETICS A-Z Your guide to UA and Pac-12 athletics

A

Andy Lopez

The baseball head coach has been at Arizona for 11 years now, but perhaps no season in recent past has seen such a huge rise in popularity as this spring with the Wildcats winning the 2012 College World Series. With the move to Hi Corbett Field, the Wildcats saw a record-setting rise in attendance levels. The team is one of the best of the country, thanks in large part, to Lopez.

B

Butts, Niya

The women’s basketball coach has the perfect personality and wit for the UA. Known for cracking jokes in interviews, Butts isn’t a half-bad coach either. Under her tutelage, former Wildcat Ify Ibekwe made it to the WNBA.

C

Carey, Ka’Deem

Arizona’s starting running back is a native Tucsonan, having graduated from Canyon del Oro High School as a four-star prospect. He had a solid freshman season with six touchdowns, but is expected to break out in a big way under new head coach Rich Rodriguez.

Don’t be surprised if he’s one of the best rushers in the Pac-12 by the fall comes to a close.

D

Davellyn Whyte

The junior guard has been a dominant player since she stepped on the UA campus three years ago. The prolific scorer, rebounder and passer has been named to an All-Pac-10/12 conference team in all of her three seasons so far. Entering the 2012-13 season, Whyte is the sixth all-time leading scorer in UA history, needing 684 points to top the list.

E

ESPN

The Pac-12 Conference signed a huge contract with ESPN that begins this year and is worth more than $2.7 billion over 12 years. Combined with the formation of the Pac-12 Network, every major Arizona sporting event — football

and basketball — will be on national TV. A number of smaller sports will also be shown on the Pac-12 Network.

F

Fischer, Jake

The junior linebacker from Oro Valley is considered one of the football team’s main leaders. After missing out on the 2011 season due to an ACL injury, Fischer is ready to bounce back and lead the Wildcats defense after its struggles last season.

Fischer had 58 tackles in 2010, 7.5 for loss, along with a sack and two pass deflections.

G

Gabe York and Grant Jerrett

Head basketball coach Sean Miller has one of the best recruiting classes in the nation so far, and York and Jerrett are a big reason why. Jerrett is a McDonald’s All-American and the 6-foot-10 power forward from La Verne, Calif., is expected to contribute this season for the Wildcats.

If you need to know what Arizona is getting with York, look on YouTube for video of what the high-flying guard is capable of doing when he leaves his feet.

H

Hill, Solomon

The junior forward led the Wildcats in multiple categories last season, including scoring (12.9 points per game), rebounding (7.7) and assists (2.6). Hill was expected to take on a larger role with his pal Derrick Williams through the NBA Draft, and he stepped up to the challenge.

His best performance of the season came against UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament when he scored 25 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and had three steals.

I

Internet

Now more than ever, athletes are using the Internet to interact with fans.

Facebook and Twitter have become commonplace for Arizona athletes to interact with fans. Greg Byrne, the UA athletics director, even used Twitter to announce the hiring of Rich Rodriguez as his new head coach. Some recommended Twitter accounts to follow include Byrne (@Greg_Byrne), Rich Rodriguez

(@CoachRodAZ), and the official Arizona athletics twitter (@AZATHLETICS).

J

Jeff Casteel

When Rich Rodriguez was hired as the new head football coach, one of his first priorities was getting the right defensive coordinator to revamp the defense.

Enter Casteel, considered one of the top defensive minds in all of college football for his unique 3-3-5 defensive scheme.

Casteel and Rodriguez coached together at West Virginia for seven seasons, and with Casteel’s tutelage, the Mountaineers consistently had one of the top defensive teams in the nation. Top Arizona defensive players like Tra’Mayne Bondurant and Jake Fischer should be excited to be coached by one of the best in the business.

K

Kick the shit out of ASU

An alteration of the line “hit them hard, let them know who’s who!” in “Bear Down, Arizona,” to emphasize the love that the Wildcats have for their northern rival.

L

Lalang, Lawi

Last year the Kenyan freshmen cross country phenom finished the season undefeated, and became the first Arizona runner to win a men’s cross country national title since 1994. Lalang finished the season with four course records and the Pac-12 title as well.

M

Money

After expanding from the Pac10 to the Pac-12, the conference set up a deal with ESPN and Fox for 12 years. The deal is expected to be worth up to $4.3 billion, and each school in the Pac-12 is expected to gain an additional $21 million worth of revenue each year.

N

No. 3

Sean Miller has managed to bring in the No. 3 recruiting class in the nation for the Arizona basketball team’s

2012-13 season, according to ESPN. Miller had the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation since last August, but with UCLA’s recent recruiting bender, the UA moved down two spots. Regardless, the additions of guard Gabe York and big men Kaleb Tarczewski, Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett will be invaluable when Wildcat basketball tips off in November.

O

Offense

Expect the Arizona offense to undergo major changes during the fall season. For example, the addition of Rich Rodriquez to the football program and senior Matt Scott taking over the quarterback position and incoming five-star center Kaleb Tarczewski to help basketball in the paint along with four other top recruits.

P

Pac-12 Conference

The Pac-12 Conference is now well on its way with a successful inaugural year. The conference provides the most elite level of competition in the country and attracts Division I athletes from all over the world. Utah and Colorado have been contending competitors across all sports with their addition to the conference breeding new rivalries and hopefully lasting traditions.

Q

Quarterback

With former Arizona quarterback Nick Foles now with the Philadelphia Eagles, the new up-and-coming spotlight will fall on 6-foot-3 senior Matt Scott. The other quarterbacks sitting in the lineup are sophomores Richard Morrison, Tyler D’Amore, and Alex Cappellini.

R

Rich Rodriguez Era

Head Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez is about to embark on his first year with the Wildcats. He is the 30th coach for Arizona football with previous gigs at Michigan and West Virginia. His approach to the game includes an emphasis on a quicker, no-huddle spread offense.

Scouting the UA’s signal callers Meet the masterminds behind UA athletics — the head coaches

By Cameron Moon Arizona Summer Wildcat

Cream of the crop

Andy Lopez: Lopez has coached baseball at Arizona for 11 seasons, with a record of 402-246-1. In 2012, the Wildcats’ baseball team won the College World Series under the leadership of Lopez, who had taken one other Arizona team to the CWS in 2004.

Sean Miller: The head of the men’s basketball program, Miller led Arizona to its ninth Elite Eight in 2011. Miller has a .696 winning percentage in his three seasons at the University of Arizona (68-35), but no season is as promising as the upcoming 2012 slate, as Miller and his staff have recruited one of the best recruiting classes in the country, according to ESPN.com and Scout.com.

Mike Candrea: As the face of collegiate softball on the West Coast, Candrea is

entering his 27th season in charge. Under his direction, Arizona softball has become a destination for top recruits. Candrea has led Arizona softball to eight national championships and over 1,200 wins in his career.

Eric Hansen: Hansen took over the UA swim program for current USA Swimming director Frank Busch, and despite only coaching for a year, led the Wildcats to an undefeated dual meet season and qualified 14 individuals plus three relay teams for NCAA championships in March before coaching 10 current and former Wildcat athletes to Olympic berths in this summers Olympic swim trials.

Fred Harvey: The director of both the cross country and track programs, Harvey enters his 10th season as the head man at Arizona with three current student Olympians in his back pocket. Harvey has molded the careers of high jumper Brigetta Barrett (USA), shot putter Julie Labonté (Canada)

and hurdler Georganne Moline (USA).

Under Harvey’s coaching, 22 men and 20 women have combined for 110 All-America honors and six Wildcat athletes have earned 11 NCAA individual championships in the process.

was one of the most sought after coaching hires in the country in 2008 before joining Arizona. Butts, who played for Pat Summitt at Tennessee, led the Wildcats to a 13-2 start in 2011 before an eight game losing streak decimated the Wildcats’ season, which they finished at 15-17.

Legacy in progress

Dave Rubio: A 20-year Arizona coaching veteran, Rubio has transformed the volleyball team into a conference contender and national threat. Since 2002, the Wildcat volleyball program has been to five Sweet Sixteen’s, four Elite Eights and one Final Four. In the process, Rubio’s teams have won over 200 games. Under Rubio’s leadership, this year’s mix of youth and experience is eager to move past the first round of the NCAA tournament, where their 2011 season ended.

Rich Rodriguez: As the head football coach, he may be the most well known man in Tucson by the end of this season, no matter the result.

What we do know about Rodriguez as he enters his first season is that he is in the process of changing the mindset of an entire program. In spring practice, “RichRod” spoke publicly about the mental and physical inadequacies his players possessed.

Niya Butts: The eighth women’s basketball coach in program history, Butts

Vicky Maes: Maes, a Belgian native, has been at the UA since 1994. She began as a student-athlete and coordinator of the Life Skills Program, and Maes’ women’s tennis team boasts a 100 percent graduation rate.

Five Arizona players made the 2012 pac-12 All-Academic Team. Despite their failure to advance past the super regionals in the postseason this year, women’s tennis returns five of its eight player team.

Football and basketball are headliners, but the UA athletic department has more to offer Cameron Moon Arizona Summer Wildcat

Let me guess. You’re incredibly excited for the start of school, and a big reason is Arizona athletics, right?

The tradition and expectations of men’s basketball, the excitement of not knowing how new head football coach, Rich Rodriguez, will do in his first season, coupled with the women’s basketball team looking to rebound from a 15-17 season and a volleyball team trying to make it past the first round of the NCAA tournament makes for a very busy first semester.

That’s a good thing though isn’t it? Half the reason we come to a school like Arizona is to become engulfed in everything that the Wildcats represent.

The Wildcats have an uncanny ability to unite not just students, alumni and faculty,

but the entire city of Tucson. That being said, the power the Wildcats hold over Tucson and its citizens during football and basketball season may result in you being unable to attend one of the eight home football games or 18 home basketball starts.

If the situation arises, feel free to explore one of Arizona’s other, less popular sports, guaranteed to show you the same good time as football or basketball in a much more relaxed atmosphere.

For a change of pace, head over to the McKale Center and watch rising sophomore Madi Kingdon, an All Pac-12 freshman selection a season ago, lead the Wildcats in digs and kills as they attempt to move out of the first round of the NCAA tournament.

In November and December, spend a chilly winter night in McKale for the beginning of women’s basketball season. Head coach Niya Butts is an electrifying personality whose creative marketing ploys always make for a good game.

Even if the Wildcats are down, the individual efforts of last season’s leading scorer Davellyn Whyte, who averaged 17

points per game a season ago, never fails to provide fans with SportCenter-worthy plays and games.

Before it’s time to break out the leggings and boots however, fall softball and swimming are two simple ways to spend a Saturday or Sunday.

The tradition of softball arguably outweighs that of any other sport on campus, and Arizona softball is a brand name for high school softball players across the country. In the fall, the competition might not be the best, but Hillenbrand Stadium is one of the biggest and best softball facilities in America and has hosted some of the all-time great softball players in the sport’s history.

Before 2010, the Wildcats had made 24 consecutive trips to the Women’s College World Series, winning eight national titles in the process. The fall slate will give fans a preview of how former All-American Kenzie Fowler has improved heading into her senior year after a disappointing season, as well as the progress of sophomore Shelby Pendley, who led the team in home runs and slugging percentage.

Swimming, cross-country and the indoor track and field seasons may not be regular stops as a college sports fan looking for some entertainment, but 11 of Arizona’s 18 2012 Olympians are swimmers or runners.

Hurdler Georganne Moline, who holds the school record for her event and high jumper Brigetta Barrett, who owns the NCAA record for high jump highlight the representatives from the track team.

All-American swimmer Alyssa Anderson and head of USA swimming and a UA sports Hall of Fame member Frank Busch will help represent the United States in the relays (Anderson) as well as the rest of the competition (Busch).

Attending more than just the football and basketball games can only increase your love and passion for the Wildcats and will expose you to some of the best athletes and coaches at Arizona.

With former UA standouts now in NFL, senior QB Scott ready to lead the show

By Roberto Payne Arizona Summer Wildcat

Matt Scott has been through a lot in his four years at the UA. He showed promise out of Centennial High School in Corona, Calif., but never could grab the starting quarterback job.

Scott started out the 2009 season as the starter, but the emergence of Michigan State transfer Nick Foles knocked Scott out of the starting spot by the week four matchup at Oregon State. Scott played sparingly the rest of the season.

The 2010 season rolled along with Foles firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback, but he was hurt early in a contest against the Washington State Cougars.

Scott filled in, gaining wins in week seven and eight. Once Foles recovered, Scott was forced back to the bench.

Foles materialized as one of the better quarterbacks in Arizona football history and the unquestioned leader of the 2011 squad. Scott, entering his senior season, chose to redshirt in order to be replacement for Foles, who was also entering his

senior year.

“I really didn’t get that shot (to start) right away,” Scott said. “Now I want to take full advantage of every opportunity I get.

(Being the backup) was a real humbling experience for me, and it really made me

“

Coach Rodriguez coming in here with this offense is a good fit for me.

“

­— Matt Scott UA senior quarterback

realize that not everything is given to you.

It’s making me work a lot harder already.”

After head coach Mike Stoops was fired during the 2011 season, Arizona hired Rich Rodriguez to be the new coach, and Scott looked like the perfect player to lead the run based offense set to be installed by Rodriguez.

“I couldn’t have asked for anything better,” Scott said. “Coach Rodriguez coming in

here with this offense is a good fit for me.”

Rodriguez’s dynamic spread-option offense seems like an ideal fit for Scott, who is an exceptionally mobile quarterback.

His ability to run is key, as a dual threat quarterback is needed in a spread-option offense. Scott will have plenty of opportunities to get out of the pocket and make a play with both his feet and arm.

“We’ve got a new system but he (Scott) fits it really well,” wide receiver Dan Buckner said. “Having a quarterback that’s been out there and seasoned makes it that much easier for the offense. Me and Matt have been practicing together for three years, the connection is there. He’s a real student of the game.”

Scott is being counted on to successfully usher in a new era under Rodriguez. If the spring practices are any indication, Scott is ready to carry that burden to a successful season.

“He’s a great passer, he can move and he can extend the play outside the pocket,” Buckner said. “Whether that means throwing or running the zone read. He’s going to add an extra dimension to the offense.”

Arizona Stadium construction update A-Z from page 39

By Cameron Moon

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Just six weeks away from the start of the 2012 University of Arizonafootball season, the north end zone construction project in Arizona Stadium is finally starting to look like something.

The $72.3 million facelift, which will include a four-story football headquarters attached to the back of the north end zone stands, broke ground in December 2011 and is not expected to be completed until July of 2013.

Arizona Stadium is now an enclosed facility, meaning the family section of the stadium has

been torn out and seats are already in place that will expand Arizona Stadium’s capacity from 51,811 to 57,800 at completion.

Football headquarters, previously held in McKale Center will be moved into the recently named Lowell-Stevens Football Facility in August 2013. The new facility will hold coaches’ offices, locker rooms, a weight room, dining rooms, luxury boxes, a concourse that connects the west and east sides of the stadium and will also be a hangout area for donors on game day.

Private donations funded the majority of the renovations and is 31 percent complete, according to the Planning, Construction and Design department website.

Wilbur and Wilma: The mascots for Arizona, Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat, were married in 1986 and even have a certificate to prove it. While Wilbur and Wilma’s furry appearances get the crowd going, they’ve got to give props to the first real Arizona mascot — a live desert wildcat named Rufus Arizona who made his appearance in 1915.

Welcome to college; don’t be afraid to explore, Aaron McMann Summer Editor-in-Chief

test yourself

Many of you reading this today are about to embark on the most important four years of your entire life.

There, did I grab your attention?

Welcome, and thanks for picking up this special edition of Central Michigan Life, geared directly toward you – the student. In it, we hope you find valuable information, advice and, most importantly, an idea of what to expect during your tenure on campus.

Four years ago, I was in your shoes. A high school graduate leaving home for the first time, unsure of what to expect.

Five classes in five different buildings.

Five times the number of students as high school. Having to do laundry and cooking on my own.

How would I ever survive?

But I’m here to tell you, about 90 credits in, an internship under my belt and a boat-load of memorable experiences, it’s worth it.

Worth it to your family, worth it to your education and, ultimately, worth it to yourself.

But here’s the key: don’t get lazy or slack off. There’s room to have fun – a lot

of it, believe me – but that doesn’t mean you can forget about your grades.

I can count on both hands the number of people I’ve met in my four years here who have left CMU to improve their GPA at a community college or dropped out altogether. They were the kids who got lazy and never went to class, or were too hung over in the morning to wake up.

Don’t be one of those kids.

At the same time, enjoy yourself. Make friends. Try new things. Don’t restrict yourself to just spending most of your time with roommates or friends from high school. Some of my best friends now are not the ones I hung out with freshman year, and that isn’t a knock at anyone.

You live, you mature and you find others with similar interests as you. That’s the beauty of college.

I challenge you to explore campus, the city of Mount Pleasant and surrounding area.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you continue to read CM Life during your time on campus.

S T A FF P I C K S Everyone has their go-to place in town, whether it be to relax or find something good to eat. Either way, it might take exploring the area before freshmen find theirs. Here are some from the summer 2012 CM Life editorial staff: Aaron McMann Editor in Chief Favorite place to study: My apartment.

While the library can be nice at times, it does very little when crowded, especially at the end of the fall and spring semesters. At home, I’m able to control the environment and freely do what I want. After studying for a while, my unprescribed ADHD kicks in and I want to go do something or eat. I can’t really do that at the library.

Favorite place to go on a date: While the obvious choices here are Celebration! Cinema or going out to eat, I’ve found the most enjoyable times with my girlfriend are spent at Island Park. During non-winter months, nothing beats taking walk through the park, throwing the baseball around and just enjoying the outdoors. Oh, and it’s free, too.

Favorite place to eat: Buffalo Wild Wings, by and far. Not only is it conveniently located near campus, but the food is good and beverage selection even better. I often find myself going there with friends and family and I have never heard one complaint about the restaurant up here.

Favorite extra-curricular activity: Working at CM Life. I’m a journalist at heart and find myself working in the office (or at home) more than anything else. My grades probably suffer because of it, but I know that I’m doing what I love and wouldn’t change it for anything else. I also enjoy the occasional night out on the town, but which college student doesn’t?

Mike Nichols Managing Editor Favorite place to study: The Charles V. Park Library has been my home away from home for most of college. As far as libraries go, it’s got a great book selection, it’s quiet (when there isn’t a flash mob) and it has moving bookshelves that make you feel like you’re at Hogwarts. There’s a circular window on the fourth floor that overlooks the whole south campus. That’s my favorite spot to cozy up with a book and get work done.

Favorite place to go on a date: The Italian Oven has proven to me over and over to be first-rate, first-date dining. They make legit, delicious Italian food with a taste straight out of downtown Chicago. It’s a relaxed, classy setting, perfect for a good impression without coming on too strong. The

meal is a bit pricier than fast food, but totally worth it. Try the Alfredo.

Favorite place to eat: When I’m starving for a big meal, I’ll flip a coin between Great Wall Chinese food and LaZeez Indian Restaurant. If I’m looking for a midnight or later meal, Lil’ Chef is a cheap, tasty and friendly option. Los Azteca’s meets my Mexican food cravings and Stan’s meets my breakfast cravings. Enjoy finding your own favorites.

Favorite place to do an extra curricular activity: Do you like Whose Line is it Anyways? Have you ever wanted to try doing that in a safe environment where everyone will laugh at you in a good way? Well, you can. After Hours Improv is an RSO that allows anyone who wants to, talent or none, to practice and play improv. They meet every week and put on fantastic annual shows. I spent every year in college with them; they’re the funniest nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Chuck Miller Photo Editor Favorite place to study: For me studying at home seems like an impossible challenge to be conquered rather than a way to get ahead and learn something new. That’s why, when the unfortunate event such as an exam, project, or paper arises, I take my brain to Woldt Lab. It’s quiet, peaceful, no one bothers you and there are many resources at your disposal. Best of all, it’s open all day and all night, so no one is kicking you out at the wrong time.

Favorite place to go on a date: Women are a treasure and an honor to have by your side and if you’re lucky enough to find a genuine, caring, classy lady, treat her right. That’s why you can’t go wrong with Mountain Town restaurant. Amazing atmosphere, food, drinks, and service. It’s the great place to take out an even greater girl.

Favorite place to eat: My biggest regret in my four years at Central was only eating at Max and Emily’s for the first time last spring. The sandwiches there are second to none, and I would take a ham, turkey, and bacon on ciabatta bread over anything else Mount Pleasant has to offer.

Favorite extracurricular activity: Intramurals are the best. I love all sports, but football will always be my favorite. Since I’m not a real competitive person, but still love to play, intramural football is something I look forward to every fall. You choose whom you play with and when you play. It’s organized fun with a championship up for grabs.

Mike Nichols Summer Managing Editor

In college, try to understand people Congratulations. You’ve made it to college.

You are entering a university filled with people. People are imperfect, and that inescapable flaw in all of us will lead you down the very interesting adventures you will have in college.

At CMU, you will meet people you will love, people you will hate, people you will admire, people you will wish you had gotten to know better, people you will regret having gotten to know better, people you will live with, study with, play with, fight with, cry with and people you will make memories with that will last you the rest of your life.

Your most important experiences in college will involve people. Accept and embrace that unavoidable fact.

While you are on a college campus, you have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and all different walks of life. Be open to understanding them. Sincerely try to walk a mile in their shoes without judging them. In the end, it’s OK to discern between right and wrong, but make sure

you do it after you’ve listened.

My first roommate in the dorms was a KKK-supporting drug dealer from Detroit. He was a nightmare, but he also had a huge hand in breaking me out of my shell. I never did drugs with him, but I learned enough to know I never want to.

In a way, you could say he unwittingly did more to promote drug prevention in me than any high school program.

People don’t follow the rules. If you look hard enough, you find ones who break every stereotype you’re told to believe in. You’ll meet Christians who support gay marriage, Democrats who can’t stand Obama, athlete superstars who want to be virgins until marriage and “open-minded” hipsters who are just as judgmental as they accuse “the man” of being.

People’s neurotic double binds, styles and personalities are all over the map on this campus. If you commit yourself to understanding people in college, you will have a powerful gift necessary in every are of your life.

All it takes is a little empathy.

“If you commit yourself to understanding people in college, you will have a powerful gift necessary in every area of your life. ”

Everyone is welcome at the chapel!

Dayglow paint party attracts thousands to Finch Fieldhouse

By Paulina Lee Staff Reporter This story was originally posted Feb. 25 on cm-life.com.

Splashed gallons of paint, raging music, acrobats and laser lights brought 3,330 dancing participants to Finch Fieldhouse for the second Dayglow event this year.

The sold-out show lasted five hours, with some lining up outside as early as 6 p.m, braving 30-degree weather.

“Let’s get weird, let’s get weird, let’s get weird,” chanted Clio freshmen Cody Kline and Conner Crabtree and Grand Rapids Community College freshman Reece Cooper, revving up the crowd as they waited in line.

Electronic music artists Crespo, headliner 3LAU (pronounced “Blau”) and David Solano spun a mixture of house, dubstep and mash-ups surrounded by dancers, acrobatic acts and laser lights.

The “L!fe in Color Tour,” self-titled “America’s largest paint party,” featured cannons, guns and squeeze bottles raining a paint shower of blue, neon green and hot pink paint on the crowd.

The mosh pits at the front of the stage were more than crowded — a tightly jammed space of sweaty people dancing and jumping.

Zach Sampson is the CEO and president of Chicago-based promotion company Hottest College Parties, which helped bring Dayglow to CMU. “CMU’s one of the best Dayglows we’ve ever had; the kids there are the best,” Sampson said. “I love CMU.” Security guards surveyed the crowd to maintain organized chaos within the mosh pit. The crowd was a rowdy one with a number of arrests and tickets given out, said CMU Police Sergeant Mike Morrow.

Fifteen people were sent to jail because of various crimes and misdemeanors and

Dayglow, promoted as “The World’s Largest Paint Party,” made its second stop at CMU in February.

four misdemeanor citations (i.e. minors in possession, disorderly conduct). Seven people were transported to CMCH for medical treatment, and 35 people were treated on-site for medical issues. There were 49 ejected from the event for various policy violations and/or disruptive behavior.

“People get thrown out for disorderly conduct, fighting and touching girls inappropriately,” said a security guard. “I personally pulled out two people, but over 50 were probably pulled out.”

University officials later said DayGlow would not be invited back, citing unsafe conditions and the number of arrests.

ADS ADVICE

Do the big things. Don’t forget about the small ones.

First to fourth grade seemed like they took forever to get through. Which you’ll find isn’t the case for the four (five, six) short years you’ll be in college. While life has certainly picked up the pace since you were seven, there’s a lot that hasn’t change from our elementary selves.

Math still sucks. Bad haircuts happen.

You might go through a few groups of friends until you meet some solid ones.

But most importantly, the little things matter. Even when you get to college.

Like when they serve your favorite dish at the cafeteria. Get excited about that. Or passing notes during class. Not recommended, but still fun. Or deciding that you want to be someone’s best friend. Or more than a friend. Hopefully more valid now, but still worth celebrating.

So when you get to campus, by all means take care of those big things. Pick your major. Change your major. Change it once more (it’s OK). Join that organization. Develop those professional skills. Reach for that dream job. Strive for that 4.0. But don’t stop there.

Becca’s favorites To study: Outside. Always outside. Well, minus those five freezing months we must endure, of course. But when I can, I’ll spread a blanket in the middle of campus and soak up the sun and required readings. I like to think the fresh air does wonders for my studies. Looking forward to those sunshiny study days gets me through winter. Not to mention exams.

To take a date: On an adventure. We’re too young and have too many opportunities at hand to settle for getting to know someone over a plate of spaghetti. No offense to the traditional. But campus is brimming with events and activities from new movies, inspirational speakers, concerts, cultural food tasters, to Chippewa athletics. Grab that cutie and take them along.

To eat: I love to try new places. And they always seem to be popping up. Be open and get out of your food comfort zone, which for me is Taco Bell. While a delicious $2 meal is always tempting, I’ve enjoyed Sure Shot’s BBQ, Max & Emily’s home-town feel, and even conquered the Pixie challenge.

To exercise/do an activity: We have a solid disc golf course. And while I’ve only played a few times, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Even when I lost my disc in the water. The SAC is my go-to for exercise though, suiting everyone with a gym, pool, track, basketball/volleyball courts and more.

Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses

*BD906NAOTH*

Becca Baiers Summer Advertising Manager

Take yourself back to when money was only good for lunchtime. And enjoy getting to know people. Or literally stopping to smell those roses by the sidewalk. Which might mean slowing down long enough to care. Because there are some things we should never outgrow.

The big decisions may shape your future, but the small experiences change your perspective. They’re both important.

Find the balance. And enjoy these few years that will fly by.

Livonia junior returns to school after near-fatal fall from balcony

By Mike Nichols Summer News Editor Matt Herrod has no memory of the party he attended on April 2, 2011 or of the two-story fall that put him in a coma for the following three weeks.

One year after the accident that almost took his life, the Livonia junior is opening up about his journey of recovery. Although much of what happened remains a mystery because of his memory loss, Herrod has put together some pieces of his accident.

“I had a lot going for me in life, and this one incident happened and it was all put on hold,” he said. “But that is why I firmly believe I was given a second chance for a reason.”

He went with a friend that night to a party at a second-story apartment at the Village at Bluegrass, 4300 Collegiate Way. Katie Kendall, a junior from Florida, lived

there but had never met Herrod. About 75 to 100 people were crammed into the apartment, she said, which brought the police to break up the party. Those on the balcony jumped down to avoid the police at the door.

Kendall said Herrod, who had been drinking heavily, must have made a bad leap over the railing.

“It’s really not that high, but I feel if you jump the wrong way, it can end bad,” she said. “I thought of every possibility of what could have happened, and the only thing I could come to is that he jumped.”

Herrod said he believes he landed on his feet but fell forward, face planting into the icy ground. The impact fractured his skull and caused internal bleeding and swelling in his brain. Herrod said the fracture allowed the blood to drain and, ironically, saved his life. Had he not received immediate care, he said he could A STUDENT | 28

Ron Paul packs Plachta in call for Americans ‘to wake up’

By John Irwin Elections Coordinator This story originally appeared Feb. 27 on cm-life.com.

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul visited Central Michigan University Saturday evening in front of a crowd of more than 1,450, looking to gain traction before Tuesday’s Michigan Republican primary.

Paul, a congressman from Texas, said he believes a “revolution is going on,” adding the people are “waking up” and growing tired of war, debt and government spending.

“We need to wake up Washington D.C., because they are sound asleep, and they need to hear our voices loud and clear,” Paul said during his speech held in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium.

Paul was joined on stage by veterans of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent much of the speech decrying war and its impact on the federal deficit and America’s image abroad, saying the United States should consider a “golden rule” in foreign policy.

“Americans by a large majority have come around and said the wars we’re fighting in the Middle East make no sense whatsoever,” Paul said. “In the last 10 years, these wars have caused us to build up $4 trillion in debt, and quite frankly, I don’t feel safer because of it.”

Paul said the U.S. has stretched its military resources too thin.

“We have over-expanded ourselves,” Paul said. “We should just mind our own

business and just come home.”

He drew parallels to the calls for war with Iran from his fellow Republican candidates to those made for the Iraq War a decade ago.

“The war drums are beating,” Paul said.

“We are not under threat from the Iranians. We need to wake up and tell our representatives that we don’t need another war. We need less war.”

Paul said sanctions similar to the ones President Barack Obama and the United Nations have placed on Iran “solidify support for their dictator.”

He went after Obama’s expanded drone program overseas, saying it is increasing animosity abroad.

“We have drones all around the world, and they (the federal government) wonder why (other nations) might be annoyed?” Paul said.

He criticized the Patriot Act, a law passed in 2001 that, among other things, authorized warrant-less wiretaps, and the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes a controversial and vague provision that may allow the military to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial.

“The worst criminals in the world have been given trials,” Paul said. “Now to assume that we can do this ... is a challenge.”

Paul criticized government spending and federal debt and called for a return to laissez-faire economics and an eventual end to entitlement programs to counteract it.

“We have perpetuated our debt,” Paul said. “We are now in the biggest debt crisis in the history of the world.”

SPORTS

Football, men’s hoops struggle

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter CMU athletics has gone through some ups and downs over the past year.

Most notable have been the downs, with the two most recognizable programs on campus — football and men’s basketball — ­ struggling to win games behind sparse support.

The biggest story of the year came after another 20-plus loss season, when CMU athletics director Dave Heeke fired men’s basketball head coach Ernie Zeigler.

With Zeigler gone, his son, Trey, a sophomore at CMU, also left. Trey has since signed to play for the University of Pittsburgh, while a few other players have also looked into transferring.

After finishing 3-9 his first season at the helm of the CMU football team, Dan Enos followed that up last season with an identical record. Many fans became frustrated with the team and it showed by the end of the season when you could hand count the numbers of fans in the student section.

Enos enters this season with pressure to turn things around, especially after given a 1-year contract extension in the offseason, but fan support is expected at an all-time high because of the high profile schedule the Chippewas have to offer. The schedule includes home games against Michigan State, Navy and rival Western Michigan.

With the two biggest programs at the university struggling fans forget about the other sports, which have found success.

CMU had three Mid-American Conference Championships this season, with wrestling, gymnastics and volleyball all taking home titles.

The program also finished runner-up in four sports, including both men’s and women’s cross-country and softball and women’s basketball after entertaining postseason runs.

Baseball is rich with tradition and it is in the mix for not only its third-straight MAC West championship, but it’s looking to make a run for a MAC Tournament run and an NCAA Tournament berth.

FILE PHOTO BY ANDREW KUHN

CMU quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw for 3,286 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2011. The Chippewas finished the season 3-9.

The softball team was on the brink of not making the MAC Tournament, but after a nine-game winning streak it found itself one game from winning the championship.

The MAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships were held on campus and the men’s team finished in third be-

hind Most Outstanding Field Performer senior thrower Ryan McCullough.

Although the two biggest programs on campus are in fact struggling, CMU athletics is not necessarily in a bad place with most of the programs succeeding on and off the court.

CMU hires Keno Davis to replace Zeigler

By Matt Thompson Spring Sports Editor This story was published on April 4.

When Keno Davis asked his wife Krista about taking the Central Michigan men’s basketball position, she had one answer: “Go for it,” she said she told her husband. “If you love it, I love it.”

Keno met three times in New Orleans last weekend during the NCAA Final Four with CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke before agreeing on a 5-year, $300,000 total yearly salary.

“We’re going to build the program in the appropriate way,” Keno Davis said. “Everyone wants a ton of wins and to win championships.”

Krista Davis said she was excited about the opening since Keno was so excited about it.

“He was excited about it,” she said.

“He took this job without seeing the community, without seeing the uni-

versity. He said the athletic director is awesome; he sounds great. I like what he’s talking about it. It’s a great institution that. I want to work at.”

Davis was previously the head coach for three years at Providence College from 2008-11 before being fired and was the head coach at Drake the season before. He spent last year as a Big Ten Network analyst.

“Today, we introduce the right individual,” Heeke said. “It’s about people, philosophy and fit. We found the right person.”

During the 07-08 season, Davis was the head coach at Drake. He went 285, making the NCAA tournament before being hired at Providence. In his first season at Providence, he went 19-14 and took them to the NIT postseason tournament.

“He’s been to the tournament; he’s actually done what we’re trying to do,” sophomore guard Derek Jackson said.

His record as head coach at Drake and Providence was 74-55.

In the 2009-10 season, Davis and Providence had the third-best offense in the country averaging 82.4 points per game.

“Running, getting on the run, lot of fast breaks is what he was saying,” Jackson said about what Davis talked about during his meeting with the team after the press conference introducing him as head coach.

During his season at Drake, six organizations voted Davis as the National Coach of the Year, including the Associated Press and Sporting News.

“What got me here at Central Michigan? Why do I believe there’s success here athletically and academically?” Davis asked. “I’m very aware of the tradition of Central Michigan.

At Drake, we did a lot of recruiting up here.”

Davis was the assistant coach at Drake for five seasons before being hired as head coach.

Quran-burning pastor pushes First Amendment

By Mike Nichols Managing Editor This story first appeared Nov. 11 on cm-life. com.

Rev. Terry Jones stood at the front of the class defending his infamous Quran burning to journalism students.

Invited by Associate Professor of Journalism Tim Boudreau, Jones spoke to Boudreau’s JRN 102: Introduction to Journalism and JRN 404: Law of Mass Communication classes in November.

Boudreau said he brings in a controversial speaker every year to illustrate how offensive speech is protected by the First Amendment.

Jones was the first of several controversial speakers Boudreau invited to CMU this past academic year.

Jones, pastor of DoveWorld Outreach Center, sparked mass protests after he pledged to burn about 200 Qurans on the 2010 anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Jones made no apologies and told students to observe how freedom of speech exists only for

mainstream opinions.

“Even if you do not like it, it needs to be tolerated,” he said. “It needs to be thought about without fear.”

Jones said there is currently a $2.4 million on his life. After receiving hundreds of death threats, mass protest and objection from both Christian and Islamic groups, and even personal requests from President Barack Obama and General David Petraeus, Jones agreed to cancel the 2010 burning, giving his word they would never burn a Quran.

His word ended on March 20 when Jones served as judge over a mock trial of the Quran at his church. After a jury with no Muslim members found the book guilty, an assistant pastor burned the book in the sanctuary.

Jones said he had not planned to burn the Quran, but he changed his mind.

“I lied,” Jones said. “It was not on purpose, but I lied.”

The mock trial was streamed live and resulted in mob protests in Afghanistan, killing 30 people and injuring 150 more.

Saudi Arabia freshman Ammar Assiri is a Muslim and said he remembers the day

when his class saw Jones on the news. He said he felt like crying.

Jones said what he did in burning a book was not comparable to radical Muslims killing innocent people. Assiri agreed the mobs were not right in murdering, but said Jones burning a holy book he has only partially read was still crossing a line.

“I would never do that to their book,” Assiri said. “I just want (Jones) to seek the truth.

We’re not the ones you thought we were.”

Jones said he supports Herman Cain as a presidential candidate in the 2012 election because he is a “businessman who tells it like it is.”

Jones said he believes President Obama is a Muslim who was not born in the U.S. Rochester Hills junior Kelsey Houghtlin said she was glad Boudreau brought someone to campus with an interesting perspective.

Although Houghtlin, who attends His House Christian Fellowship, 211 W. Broomfield St., said she does not agree with Jones’

Jane Goodall brings monkey, wisdom to CMU

By Jessica Fecteau Student Life Editor This story was originally published on March 30.

“Every single person makes an impact every day, and we have the choice for what kind of impact we’re going to make,” Jane Goodall told a capacity crowd March 28 in McGuirk Arena.

More than 4,700 free tickets were given out to people of all ages to hear the world-renowned primatologist, anthropologist and conservationist speak for more than an hour about her life of research and discovery with primates.

Goodall came to Central Michigan University as part of the intermittent Speaker Series at a cost of $60,000, said University Events Director Bob Ebner.

Contribution for the sponsorship of Goodall’s visit came largely from the Provost’s Office and the Council of Deans.

Prior to her speech, Goodall hosted a private question-and-answer panel

with about 100 selected CMU students from multiple programs.

“I wanted to hear the words of a woman who brings so much hope to us turning around all the damage that we’ve done to the environment,” said St. Johns graduate assistant Sarah Murphy, who attended the panel. “And maybe take my own little bit of hope from her to make my own mission in life easier.”

Murphy said it was fascinating to hear that Goodall started off in the field with no experience.

“You don’t see those sort of stories very often, and her story is more of a reminder and a warning to us that if we follow these (safer) paths, we close ourselves off to all sorts of opportunities,” she said.

Goodall spoke about her experiences within her field to a much larger crowd following the student panel.

After Goodall was welcomed with a standing ovation, she greeted the audi-

actions, she does believe he has the legal right to protest and burn the books.

“I think he has the freedom of speech to do it, but I don’t think he’s right,” she said. “It doesn’t demonstrate Christian beliefs.”

Jones said he plans to run for president in the 2012 U.S. election.

His campaign, Stand Up America Now, has a seven-point platform, including deporting all illegal aliens, reducing military spending and reducing corporate taxes.

“It’s funny when someone tries to stump ( Jones), and you can tell he’s stumped, he tries to turn around the question,” said White Lake sophomore Neil Barris.

Jones said the Bible is a holy book to him, but it is still just that: a book.

To Muslims like Assiri, however, the Quran is more than a book.

“We cannot live without it,” Assiri said. “It’s everything.”

In his first season as Providence head coach in 2009-10, he helped them beat No. 1 ranked Pittsburgh 81-73. That season, the Friars finished seventh in the Big East after being picked 12th in the preseason polls.

“The greatest highlight of my career wasn’t the 2008 season where we finished 14th in the country at Drake,” Davis said.

“It was the chance to come in where they haven’t had a winning season in 20 years and be able to build it. The way you build it first is with the young men a part of the program. You challenge them.”

Davis is taking over a CMU team that has had four winning seasons since 1980.

“You look at the commitment and the investment to the student athletes here. You can see it’s at a level beyond where its ever been,” Davis said. “When you put those things together you’re talking about the potential for great success.”

He is a 1995 graduate of Iowa. In 1995, he began his coaching career as an assistant for Bruce Pearl at Southern Indiana. He was there for two seasons before going to Southeast Missouri State.

Davis said those midwest ties will help re-

cruiting and spoke about Michigan players helping him have success as a head coach on the east coast.

Davis has written two books, one called Pressure Defense, where he was the coauthor — published in 1994 — and the other was Camp Success, which came out in 2004.

He said he is looking forward to meeting with the current and future student athletes and expects them to “continue to build upon the great Chippewa pride.”

From 1991 to 1995, he was an undergraduate assistant at Iowa. Davis’ father Tom Davis was the head coach at Iowa from 1986-1999. He then took over Drake from 2003-2007. Tom Davis had a 598-355 record as a head coach.

Heeke said he felt confident with his ability to recruit; Davis said he will focus on instate kids.

“Recruiting is going to start in Michigan,” Davis said. “We aren’t going to get outworked in our back yard.”

Davis will focus on recruiting and meeting with his current players the next few weeks. Recruiting will pull him from his family.

“Oh no, he’s going to be gone for the next couple months,” Krista said. “We won’t see him. He has a program to build, and he’ll do it with his whole heart.”

CMU, faculty end squabble, agree on new contract

By Theresa Clift Staff Reporter This story was originally reported on Jan. 12.

The Central Michigan University Faculty Association ratified its 2011-14 contract after 10 p.m. on Jan. 12 after more than seven months of bargaining with the university that included a strike on the first day of fall semester.

Nearly three quarters of the members cast a vote, FA President Laura Frey said in an email obtained by Central Michigan Life.

The FA has no plans to release the vote count, Frey said when reached for comment. The numbers were not being released to members.

The contract was tentatively agreed upon Dec. 1 at the Isabella County Courthouse after about 14 hours of bargaining. The agreement allows the FA to keep MESSA for health care if

TL

members absorb premium increases but includes no salary changes from the university’s original offer made before the fall semester began.

CMU’s Nov. 11 offer allowed FA members to keep MESSA only until June 30 and under certain conditions.

CMU Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said the university was pleased to see the contract ratified.

“Without question, the extended process that ultimately resulted in this agreement was challenging and, at times, divisive,” Smith said. “We must now move forward as one university and do all that we can do — together — to make this institution even stronger.”

The contract freezes salary for this year, with a 2.25-percent increase in year two and a 2.5-percent increase in 2013-14.

have died on the spot.

Redford sophomore David Brimhall lived in the apartment above the party.

Looking down on the scene, he saw Herrod lying in a pool of blood with an officer cradling his neck.

Brimhall said he could no longer watch when he heard a first responder say, “He’s almost gone.”

“I went in my room, closed my door and called my mom,” Brimhall said.

“I told her, ‘There’s a kid who fell off this balcony. I think he’s going to die. I just wanted to let you know I love you, Mom.’” Herrod was taken to Mount Pleasant Community Hospital, then airlifted to Saint Mary’s of Michigan Medical Center in Saginaw. He remained in a coma for three weeks with 13 IV bags keeping him alive. His mother, Laura Herrod, stayed by his side the entire time he was unconscious.

“It was the worst thing any mom could go through,” she said. “At that point, we didn’t know if he was going to live or die, and (the doctors) didn’t either.”

Support for the family came in from all over Michigan. Laura said friends, family and even mere acquaintances sent sympathy cards, gift cards, made meals and brought groceries. A friend made a Facebook group, Prayers for Matt Herrod, which at one point had more than 800 members. Laura Herrod said it felt like she won the lottery in friends.

Herrod turned 21 while he was in the coma.

“My grandma told me it’s the birthday I’ll never remember, but one I’ll never forget,” he said.

On Easter Sunday, he awoke from his coma. Laura said she remembered his limbs moved sporadically like octopus tentacles as the drugs slowly brought him back to consciousness.

“I remember waking up and thinking, ‘All this is a dream,’” he said. “But then I realized, ‘Oh dang, this is real.’”

One week later, Herrod was starting physical therapy at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan. Brain damage had left him unable to speak or walk. He communicated by spelling words on a keyboard. He said the loss of control over his own body frustrated him endlessly.

“I’ve been talking and walking for 20 years, and it’s all taken away and you

have to learn from square one all over again,” he said. “I feel like people don’t really understand freedom until it’s taken away from you ... it sucks.”

Herrod said he wanted to be back in school so badly; he said he once tried “escaping” therapy in his wheelchair. He finished rehab on June 9 but took the fall semester off to continue therapy. Since then, he has returned to CMU and re-

gained full use of his body, although his speech is still slurred. He said he hopes to be completely back to normal by fall of 2012.

On the one-year anniversary of the fall, Herrod celebrated with his friends. This time, however, he said he was going to limit his alcohol intake.

“It’s not worth it,” he said. “Life matters too much now.”

ence with a “primate hello” by imitating the noise chimps make when they greet her.

Roots and Shoots, a youth program founded by Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute, was a major topic of her speech, especially the conservation and advocacy work it does in developing countries.

Goodall said previous generations, including her own, have done serious damage to the Earth, but she finds hope in human ingenuity and the energy for change she sees in youth.

The indomitable human spirit, the human brain, the resilience of nature and the determination of young people are Goodall’s four reasons of hope.

“My greatest reason for hope is what is happening among the young people,” Goodall said. “The tremendous enthusiasm and the willingness to roll up their sleeves and get out there, work hard and not to give up.”

She said people are beginning to think about their own ecologcical footprint and use their brains to think how they can leave a lighter footprint as

they go from day to day.

Middleville senior Grace Welton said hearing Jane Goodall’s speech was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Her work is really inspiring,” Welton said. “For a woman to go to Africa and study what she did is incredible.”

As a fan of her work, retired CMU General Counsel Eileen Jennings said Goodall’s visit to campus was fantastic.

“She is certainly among the biggest ones,” Jennings said referring to the other women who have spoken on campus. “What’s different about her is she is the biggest name who isn’t in politics or entertainment.”

Before walking off stage to do a book signing with her fans, Goodall took a few questions from audience members. When she was told there was only time for one last question, she insisted on allowing all of the children in line a chance to ask theirs.

“Do you think you’ll ever go back to Africa?” asked one young girl.

Goodall and the rest of the crowd let out a chuckle, and she responded that she returns at least twice a year to “recharge her batteries” for a few days.

“And maybe one day you will be able to go as well,” Goodall said.

accept a salary freeze during the fall 2011 semester, with a 2.2-percent increase spring semester, a 3.7-percent increase in year two and a 3.9-percent increase in 2013-14. On Nov. 22, the FA proposed a one-year contract, which included a pay freeze for the 2011-12 year.

At the university’s request, the contract also excludes College of Medicine faculty from the bargaining unit. Originally, CMU proposed to also exclude coaches hired after July 1, 2011 and faculty in any other “professional program.”

Under the contract, CMED tuition remission is capped at the in-state doctoral graduate cost. Tuition remission refers to faculty and other full-time employees at CMU receiving 24 free credit hours per year for themselves, their spouses or their dependent children.

The FA originally wanted to increase the cap from 24 to 30 credit hours and offer reimbursement for courses unavailable at CMU but taken at other schools. Also included in

“We must now move forward as one university and do all that we can do — together — to make this institution even stronger.”

the contract is a study committee to review issues related to ProfEd will be created.

In addition, the contract states that if a faculty member goes on total disability leave, the member’s college will only be obligated to hold a tenure-track position available for two years, instead of four, in case the member returns to work.

Faculty salary for supplemental activity such as summer sessions, offcampus/online courses and overload work will be capped at $2,750 per credit hour. However, the earnings formula will remain unchanged.

The contract will also allow CMU to void a course development contract if the course is not completed within the contracted timeframe.

Alma Mater Originally written by 16-year-old schoolgirl Mary Frances Bradley as a poem to be entered in a contest on WKU’s campus in 1924, “College Heights” was first performed by Bradley at a chapel assembly in Van Meter Hall in 1925. There is a notation on the music that the song, composed by Bradley’s father, is dedicated to WKU’s first president, Henry Hardin Cherry.

Herald Staff Report news@wkuherald.com

Big Red, the red towel, and the Hilltopper name are just a few words thrown around on campus that might be unfamiliar to new students.

Big Red, Western's mascot and favorite Hilltopper, has been around since 1979 when WKU student Ralph Carey ('80) of Cincinnati designed him, according to Western's Web site.

But University Archivist Suellyn Lathrop said the Big Red that Toppers know today looks quite a bit different than Carey's original.

Western's legendary basketball coach, the late E. A. Diddle, is the originator of the "red towel" tradition.

Diddle, who coached 1,062 basketball games, was known for clutching a red towel.

In 1971, the towel became the athletics logo, according to the web site.

Diddle chewed on, threw and cried into his red towel and used it to wave at fans and signal players.

When Diddle retired in 1964, he had won more games than any other coach in NCAA history with 756 wins, according to the book.

Rubbing the foot of Diddle’s statue before

games is supposed to ensure Hilltopper victory.

Guthrie Tower, a 125-foot bell tower completed in 2002, was built in memory of Sgt. 1st Class Robert Guthrie, who was killed in the Korean War, and all those associated with Western who lost their lives fighting for their country, according to the Web site.

Guthrie's brother, Lowell Guthrie, funded the tower. A statue of Robert Guthrie stands at the base of the tower, according to the Web site.

Cherry Hall has stood at the top of College Street since 1937, and was named for Western's first president, Henry Hardin Cherry. The cupola at the top of the building's dome has become the official symbol of Western, according to the Web site.

It was Cherry who said, "The spirit makes the master."

Western's campus rises 232 feet above the nearby Barren River, making it no surprise Western is home to the Hilltoppers.

However, according to the university archives web site, no one has taken credit for the name.

College Heights, we hail thee; We shall never fail thee Falter never, live forever, Hail! Hail! Hail!

College Heights with living soul And purpose strong and true, Service ever is thy goal Thy spirit ever new.

College Heights, we hail thee; We shall never fail thee Falter never, live forever, Hail! Hail! Hail!

College Heights they noble life, Shall e’er our pattern be, Teaching us through joy and strife To love humanity.

College Heights we hail thee, We shall never fail thee, Falter never, live forever, Hail! Hail! Hail!

Guthrie Bell Tower

The 125-foot bell tower near South Lawn honors Sgt. 1st Class Robert Guthrie, killed during the Korean War, as well as all those associated with WKU who lost their lives. The Lowell Guthrie family funded the project, completed in 2002. The surrounding courtyard, featuring benches and a garden, was named in honor of Lowell Guthrie’s wife, Judith Carolyn. The dome of the tower resembles that of Cherry Hall, and the bells ring out songs such as “Edelweiss” and “America the Beautiful.”

Hilltopper Nickname

In 1911, President Henry Hardin Cherry moved the campus to two new buildings atop a prominent hill, rising 232 feet above Barren River and surrounding the Bowling Green community. During the 1920s, WKU’s athletic teams adopted the nickname Hilltoppers, and it appeared on the first WKU uniform in 1927.

When Diddle retired in 1964, he had won more games than any other coach in NCAA history 4 View of the Hill 2012

Western Kentucky University began in 1906 as the Western Kentucky State Normal School, with Henry Hardin Cherry as its first president.

Cherry introduced the motto of the school, “The Spirit Makes the Master,” as an inspiration to students, faculty and staff. Cherry Hall and its cupola have become the universal symbol for WKU, with a statue of the first president standing sentinel in front of the building crowning the Hill.

Big Red

Big Red, WKU’s mascot and favorite Hilltopper, has been around since 1979 when student Ralph Carey (’80) created the original costume. Since then, Big Red has been named one of USA Today’s Top Mascots in College and Professional Sports and frequently appears on the annual Capital One All-America Mascot Team. Big Red was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2007, one of seven college mascots now in the hall. The big, furry creature can be seen spreading the WKU spirit at athletic games and other events across campus and throughout Big Red Country. Big Red has become an award-winning mascot and one of the most well known in the nation.

The Red Towel

It began innocently enough as a cloth to wipe off sweat. It became a trademark of Edgar Allan Diddle, one the national’s most successful basketball coaches.

Now it is the symbol of the athletic tradition at WKU. The university’s official version of the legend is that Diddle clutched the red towel through 1,062 Hilltopper basketball games – 759 of them victories. The fact is that the red towel was introduced in the fall of 1946, midway through Diddle’s coaching career. Like most legends, the legacy can’t be traced to an exact beginning. The stories are as numerous as the storytellers. Each can vividly recall how the red towel got its start. But each version varies just enough to give the proper mystique to the legend.

–excerpts from “Legend of the Red Towel” by Bob Adams, Sun Belt magazine, Spring 1985

Fight Song

Stand up and cheer Stand up and cheer For dear old Western For today we raise The red and white Above the rest Rah-rah-rah Our boys are fighting And we’re bound to win the fray We’ve got the team We’ve got the steam For this is dear old Western’s day.

WKU students, alumni celebrate Homecoming

By Lucas Aulbach

sports@wkuherald.com

on this le p o e p 0 0 ,0 alone.” d n “We’ll see 25 e k e e w t a st on th campus ju

Students and faculty celebrate Homecoming weekend every year and with the buzz around the football team this season, 2012 looks to be no different.

“Red, White, and WKU” has been selected as the theme for Homecoming 2012 activities Oct. 15-21.

Homecoming is an annual celebration where the university welcomes back alumni, and alumni certainly come back for it, according to Ginny Hensley, director of alumni programming at WKU. With the presendential election a few weeks away, this year’s Homecoming Committee chose the patriotic theme of ‘Red, White, and WKU’ to not only show pride in WKU, but also to show pride in our country.

“We’ll see 25,000 people on this campus just on that weekend alone,” she said. “It’s the largest reunion weekend of the year, so it’s great for students, it’s great for faculty and staff, and it’s great for alumni.”

WKU has several annual traditions which go along with Homecoming, culminating with a home football game that Saturday, falling this year on Oct. 20.

The Toppers will take on Sun Belt Conference opponent Louisiana-Monroe.

While Saturday is the biggest day for the celebration, activities go on all week leading up to the

weekend.

Hensley said the festivities really start on Thursday, though.

“Student competitions go on all week but most of the bigger events really get started on Thursday,” she said. “There’s a pep rally downtown for the community and students to kick the weekend off.”

The celebration continues into the weekend.

Hensley said there are many traditional activities that happen on Friday, as well as several Greek competitions and events.

“We’ll have our Homecoming parade on Friday night, which will be downtown, and we’ll have a concert in the park following the parade,” she said.

“There are plenty of other things going on all day, too.”

Exact plans for the parade and concert have not been made yet.

The football game kicks off at 3 p.m.

Saturday in HouchensSmith Stadium but there will be several activities before, during and after the game including

special breakfasts, luncheons, tents and, of course, tailgating. One of the long-standing traditions is the Step Show in Diddle Arena on Saturday night.

Students and alumni participate in tailgating before the game across campus, and several celebrations take place on Saturday night to close out the weekend.

Hensley said Homecoming weekend is an important experience for every college student.

“It’s something that every student should try to stay here and participate in,” Hensley said. “To really experience college in the right way, you want to be here for Homecoming weekend.”

“There’s a pep rally downtown for the community and students to kick the weekend off.”

I will never forget my first night as a WKU student. After a long day of moving into my dorm, saying goodbye to my parents and participating in MASTER Plan activities, I was exhausted.

I pulled back my brand-new purple sheets, ready to retreat to my bed, and saw a large, black cockroach crawling around in a sea of purple.

I grabbed what was nearest to me, a flip-flop, and tried my best to beat the cockroach to a pulp, but it disappeared before I could do anything to it.

Even though I didn’t know where the cockroach had gone, I still slept in my bed that night.

My cockroach trauma wasn’t my only “first” as a freshman. I’ve experienced multiple firsts that have defined my first year at WKU, and I guarantee you’ll experience more than one during your freshman year as well.

Another first I experienced was my first flat tire. While most people get a flat driving, I managed to get a flat tire as I was pulling into Parking Structure 1.

Yes, you read that right — I was pulling into a parking structure and got a flat tire.

How does someone do this, you ask? Read on.

I was going through the entrance closest to McLean Hall, where there are two lanes you can go through to enter. As I went through the lane on the right, I hit the curb, and the next thing I knew, my tire was deflated, and I was afraid that there could be more damage to my car.

I got my car parked inside the structure, assessed the damage and called my dad.

Per his instructions, the next week entailed having someone replace the flat tire with my spare tire and getting a new tire on my car.

The only thing damaged besides the tire was a sensor that tells whether or not the tire is flat, and the tire and sensor were both easily replaced.

For someone who knows nothing about cars, I got an education on flat tires that week.

My other firsts, thankfully, were a little less traumatic and were more enjoyable.

The first, and actually only, WKU men’s basketball game I attended as a freshman was at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville.

The Hilltoppers were playing against the University of Louisville, my hometown team that I had grown up cheering for.

I was slightly torn as to which team to cheer for that night. It not only was my first WKU game but also my first game watching UofL play in the KFC Yum! Center.

I wore a UofL shirt to that game and, yes, cheered for Louisville.

My mom, a WKU alum, made up for my lack of Hilltopper spirit that night by waving her red towel and cheering as loud as she could for WKU. Even though I didn’t cheer for WKU that night, I am very proud to be a Hilltopper, and I’ve enjoyed my freshman year, my firsts included.

While my firsts won’t be exactly like your own firsts, it’s important to embrace them all, the good and the bad.

Firsts are a part of the freshman experience in college. Some will make you happy, and some will make you cringe, but they all will be good memories to look back at on graduation day.

Five things I should’ve known as a freshman

By Michael McKay

news@wkuherald.com

I was a freshman in 2010, when the world was young and full of promise.

The Facebook guy was the person of the year. Angelina left the Jersey Shore house and would later be replaced by Deena. There was a Winter Olympics that year.

I hope you’re getting that not much has changed in two years — except for the huge metal structure in front of the Preston Center.

Still, when I first came here, there were a few changes I had to make on my own that no one warned me about. Here’s my friendly advice for all of you incoming freshmen.

1. Stay out of your room as much as possible.

It will be much easier for you to make new friends if they can actually find you. The temptation to stay in your room and call home or Facebook-stalk an ex will be much higher in the first couple of weeks.

WKU has a really nice campus. If you’re bored or homesick, just walk around. I still do this.

2. Don’t wait for people to make the effort.

During MASTER Plan, I sat by myself at lunch the first day until two people I had never met sat down with me. I’m still really close with both of them. But don’t sit around alone like I did. Go introduce yourself to as many people as you can — even if you don’t want to.

While you don’t have to be best friends with everyone you see, meeting a lot of people makes a huge campus like WKU seem much smaller.

3. You’re not going to be friends with everyone.

If you’re a new student, you are going to meet a lot of new people whether you want to or not. You aren’t going to like all of these people, and that’s OK. Don’t try to force a connection that isn’t there. There are thousands of people here. Thousands.

4. Your roommate is not here to entertain you.

Even if you’ve known your roommate since third grade, you’re sharing a room now. Give each other space — don’t crowd them because you’re bored and need a ride.

Your roommate can be the best friend you’ve ever had or a dirty, annoying jerk — I’ve had both. Just be respectful. You’re both adjusting to sharing a small space, so maybe put that bag of Doritos in the trash can instead of the bottom of your closet, OK? 5. Don’t wear your lanyard.

The moment I remember most vividly from my first month here was a conversation with an upperclassman over those fashionable I.D.-carrying strings.

“Wearing a lanyard is like a freshman wearing a bullseye,” he said. “What’s the point of those things anyway?”

I stopped wearing mine immediately.

I think my friend had a point, though. By October, only a handful of people are still going to have lanyards around their necks.

Renovating DUC

Debit card a green alternative

By Herald Staff diversions@wkuherald.com

The WKU Debit Card allows a paperless method for the university to return money to students.

From residual money to student employee wages, it’s an efficient way to get your money without receiving a paper check.

Students have the option of using the free account associated with the card or having the money transferred to their own bank.

Commonly asked questions about the card: How do students get the WKU Debit Card?

The cards are mailed to students after they are registered with the university. Students should contact the WKU Debit Card office at (270) 745-5551 or stop by Potter Hall, Room 208, if there are any issues receiving the card.

Are there any fees for using the card?

The only fees that students need to worry about are the overdraft charges and ATM fees. The card comes with a free checking account that has no service fees. half page ad:Layout 1

How can students get a replacement card?

Students should contact the WKU Debit Card office, and the staff there will help determine the best way to receive another one. They should also be contacted if the card needs to be re-activated.

Do students have to use the card or are there other ways to get their money?

Students need the card to access their money. Refunds and wages are handled through wkudebitcard.com. Options include putting the money on the card or getting it deposited directly into a bank account.

What are the benefits of the card?

The card can be used anywhere that accepts MasterCard just like a normal debit card. Parents can send the student money online using Higher One’s “Send Money” feature. Mobile alerts can be set up to keep tabs on the card’s balance from a cell phone, too.

The start of the Downing University Center's renovation plan forced spaces being used in DUC to relocate in the middle of March, marking the start of the first phase of construction.

President Gary Ransdell said information regarding the renovation plan is important to get to students.

"It's a massive, temporary transition plan," Ransdell said. "With all the student services, all the offices, all the functions in the Downing University Center, most of them having to relocate, some for a year, some for two years, in order for this work to be done as quickly as possible, students need to know where to find those services in this transition."

Most of the project should be finished by July 15, 2014.

The postal office, I.D. center, Students in Free Enterprise and the Student Government Association have moved into Garrett Conference Center and will be there at least a year before moving back to DUC. Subway has moved to a permanent location at

the bottom of Bates-Runner Hall in the space that previously housed N-Style Hair and Tanning Salon.

Dining Services and Catering have relocated to the Carroll Knicely Conference Center.

The floors of DUC will be renumbered and referred to as Ground, First, Second, and Third as part of the renovation.

Fencing from the bottom floor of DUC extends into one lane of the Avenue of Champions for the construction, causing the road to be closed temporarily.

The WKU Store relocated to the Garrett Ballroom and Nashville Road near South Campus while Fresh Foods Company moved into a "temporary structure" next to the Preston Health and Activities Center.

"This project is gonna really take a lot of cooperation from everybody, and patience," said Bryan Russell, director of Planning, Design and Construction.

Home away from home

By Michael McKay news@wkuherald.com

For a lot of students arriving on the Hill this fall, a couple of colorful forms and a room key are all that separates them from their first opportunity to live on their own.

Brian Kuster, director of Housing and Residence Life, said living in a dorm can expose students to new ideas and new people.

“It’s a great way to meet new people from different countries and cultures,” Kuster said. “You meet a whole different group of people that you wouldn’t if you lived at home.”

Kuster said students who live on campus tend to

be more involved in activities around WKU because of the convenience.

“I’ve found that students who live on campus are more satisfied with their college experience,” he said.

Assistant HRL Director Steve Briggs said freshmen aren’t the only students who can benefit from living in a dorm.

“We've found that students living off campus as sophomores have lower GPAs than students who live on campus as a sophomore,” Briggs said.

Louisville sophomore Katie Strotman has lived in Gilbert Hall for two years.

Strotman said she likes how close her classes and dining options are and likes not having to worry about finding a parking space.

“I love living on campus because you are so close to everything you can need, including friends,” Strotman said. “The thing I think I like the most is the campus. It’s beautiful, especially in spring.”

Strotman said that at first, she thought living in a dorm as a sophomore would be weird.

“But when I came back, I recognized most of the people there, so it made things a lot easier, knowing they were there too,” she said.

Greek philanthropy deserves praise

By Herald Staff

Mention the word “Greek” to some college students and it may conjure up images of the one-dimensional characters they’ve been portrayed as on TV shows and movies.

The stereotypical men in togas drinking from kegs and ditzy sorority girls have become an unfortunate staple in the minds of many college students and the general public.

However, the past several years have seen many Greeks at WKU go against the grain and do huge philanthropy events for the Bowling Green community and organizations across the country that have turned out to be successful, both in attendance and finances.

The Unity Step-Off raised more than $3,700 for the March of the Dimes. Phi Gamma Delta, or Fiji, had a Spring Luau for the Bowling Green Family Enrichment Center that raised more than $1,000. Omega Phi Alpha’s St. Baldrick’s event raised $10,000 for the foundation. The Kappa Delta Shamrock Shootout raised more than $20,000 for the Enrichment Center.

WKU students involved in Up ‘til Dawn raised $88,844.31 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., during the 2011-12 fundraising year and ranked No. 2 in the nation behind Chico State. Nearly 850 students participated in the letter writing fundraising efforts during the fall and spring semester.

Philanthropy around campus has even made national waves.

The Interfraternity Council recently hosted Walk a Mile in Her Shoes to raise awareness for violence against women, and the event gained national attention by being picked up by the Huffington Post.

This event is notable because it was more than just playing a sport or performing — the men walked a mile in red high heels, which put them in a position that, while funny, made an important statement about violence against women.

The Greek organizations on campus have shown what an impact a group of people can make when they work collectively, and they have realized there is strength in numbers.

One can conclude that the reason Greek philanthropy has been so successful is because the organizations are not only attending their own events but also because the organizations support each other. When there is such a large network across campus, it makes it hard to fail.

The best part is that there are many more philanthropy events coming up with the chance to do more good and raise more money.

While it’s easy to point out and criticize the mistakes and incidents that the Greeks have had over the years (rush week violations, hazing, etc.), it’s also important to recognize the hard work and effort it takes to come up with and plan philanthropy events.

With that, the Herald commends the Greek organizations that are doing good across campus.

This editorial represents the majority opinion of the Herald’s 10-member editorial board.

Formal recruitment is the main process that the National Panhellenic Conference and the Inter-Fraternity Council at WKU use to recruit new members. Sorority rush begins Tuesday, Aug. 21, and ends with Bid Day on Sunday, Aug. 26. Fraternity recruitment begins Monday, Aug. 27, and ends with Bid Day on Friday, Aug. 31.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council that governs predominately black sororities and fraternities has structured membership intake programs with screening of prospective members occuring throughout the year.

Big Red Bikes gives students a ride across campus

By Lucas Aulbach

sports@wkuherald.com

A relatively new program on campus gives incoming freshmen without a car a way to travel across campus or around town.

Big Red Bikes is a bike rental program sponsored by WKU which allows people in the community to borrow a bike for three days free of charge.

Sustainability coordinator Christian Ryan-Downing said many WKU students take advantage of the program all year.

“It’s an awesome program,” she said. “Not very many people know about it but the people that do use the heck out of it.”

Big Red Bikes was started by students and faculty members in 2007. The parking and transportation department gives the program confiscated or abandoned bikes found across campus, which are

Study Away A unit of DELO

refurbished and then used by students.

In order to rent a bike, a user has to give the program contact information and sign a release. Each bike comes with a lock and key as well as a helmet.

The school has a bike mechanic who oversees the refurbishing, but much of the work is done by student volunteers.

“We’re always looking for people to volunteer,” RyanDowning said. “We can’t keep up with demand and the bikes we get often need some TLC (Tender Loving Care) before they’re ready.”

Ryan-Downing said another benefit of the program is the chance it gives to students to work with a professional and learn basic bike mechanics.

“The nice thing about the program is you don’t have to have any mechanic experience — our mechanic will teach you on the job,” she said. “There’s plenty of work the bikes need that doesn’t require any mechanical knowledge, too.

There are plenty of things people can do.”

Big Red Bikes is located

at Facilities Management Parking Structure 1, across the street from the Downing University Center in the heart of campus. Incoming freshmen looking to rent a bike or volunteer can apply there.

The chance to use a bike is open to anyone, not exclusively WKU students.“Anybody can borrow a bike, even a visitor,” Ryan-Downing said. “If a prospective student came with their parents and they wanted to bike around campus, they could absolutely come in and get bikes.”

Ryan-Downing said she believes the program is a unique opportunity for students at WKU. “Big Red Bikes is the cleanest, easiest way to travel,” she said. “It’s a great chance for students to get around and exercise.”

WKU police officials and Housing and Residence Life are urging students to lock their doors.

Mandi Johnson, public information officer for campus police, said the thefts happen “because people don’t lock their doors.”

Johnson said Pearce-Ford Tower is the hot spot of burglaries and thefts. “Once people find out their doors are unlocked, they figure out it’s an easy way to steal stuff.”

“The majority of crimes are crimes of opportunities,” Johnson said. “When more people are concentrated in one area, the crime rate goes up.”

Sometimes the burglaries are solved, she said.

Sometimes police receive a tip, obtain a warrant for a room and find a stack of stolen laptops. After that, police run the serial numbers through a national database to determine whether or not the items were stolen goods.

Johnson advised students to keep dorm room and vehicle doors locked, to keep an eye on belongings and not to leave anything unattended.

“Students need to take responsibility for themselves and lock their doors.”

Johnson said she visits all of the University Experience classes, Academic Transitions Program panels and other events, stressing the need to lock doors, she said.

According to campus police records, WKU experienced 79 burglaries in 2009, 71 burglaries in 2010 and 33 burglaries in 2011. Johnson said she expects the number will be in the 70s again in 2012.

Steve Briggs, assistant director of HRL, said the first question HRL asks a student after a burglary is, “Was your door locked?”

Like Johnson, he said he can’t stress enough the importance of keeping doors locked.

He said he encourages students to let HRL and the police know if they’ve become a victim of a burglary. He also encourages students to ask people who don’t look like they belong at their dorm why they are there.

Part of living on campus is learning responsibility and locking doors is part of it, he said.

“The lock mechanisms work just fine if the student uses them,” he said.

Park Smart

By Michael McKay and Lindsay Kriz

Campus dining isn’t the only thing at WKU that will be affected by the $49 million renovation project to the Downing University Center.

The project will close half of the South Lawn parking lot. More visitor spots will be installed to accommodate the move of some of the facilities in DUC to Garrett Conference Center.

And with the changes in parking comes an increased likelihood of students getting tickets.

Dennis Cain, transportation analyst for Parking and Transportation Services, said just a small percentage of WKU students make it through college without having to pay a parking ticket fine.

Students with a ticket can either pay or appeal.

Cain said previously that 26.3 percent of students who appeal their parking tickets are successful.

news@wkuherald.com

“That means 74 percent either pay what was suggested or have the price reduced,” he said.

Students who live on campus can buy a housing parking pass for $90, allowing them to park in housing lots, while students who live off campus can buy commuter passes for $90.

Cain had some advice for freshmen, which included buying a permit only from Parking and Transportation Services. “Freshmen have bought (permits) from someone else,” he said. “No one but us can sell them. Anyone else who does is trouble waiting to happen.”

Cain said that another problem that freshmen seem to have is knowing when and where to park their cars. “They don’t know what their options are,” he said. “They can’t find a spot when they come to

school right before class, so they park illegally. They may even be taking the spot of the professor who is teaching.”

Another type of illegal parking is when students park in a space that is not a parking spot. “If a space is not clearly marked or defined, it is not a spot or a space,” he said. “Just because your car can fit there doesn’t mean it’s legally parked.”

According to Cain, some freshmen, including those who live off campus, won’t register their cars, so they rack up parking tickets.

“Be smart,” he said. “Register your car with us even if you don’t buy a permit. There is no such thing as free parking.”

Students who don’t have a car still have ways to get around Bowling Green.

Topper Transit has five fixed routes that can take students around WKU and the city. The Green Line, or Shopping Shuttle, takes riders up and down the Hill and also to places like Kroger, Barnes and Noble, and the Greenwood Mall, according to the PTS website.

The Big Red Bikes program is another way for students to get around. Students can rent bicycles for free for a three-day period in the office of Facilities Management in Parking Structure 1.

Sustainability Coordinator Christian RyanDowning said the program may make students realize they want to buy a bike.

General Parking Guidelines In general, a WKU parking permit is required to park on the Bowling Green main and south campuses, Monday through Friday.

Permit eligibility is determined by employment status for faculty/staff members, and residency status for students. The type of permit issued determines where you may park.

Only purchase WKU parking permits from Parking & Transportation Services. Ownership of permits is not transferable. A permit purchased from an outside source may have been lost, stolen or forged.

To purchase your permit online: • Have your student ID number and email password.

• Have your vehicle's make, model, year, color and license plate number.

• Log into your online parking account using your WKU NetID and password.

• Select "Purchase a Parking Permit" from the menu.

Dining on the hill

By Michael McKay news@wkuherald.com

32 View of the Hill 2012

A $49 million renovation to Downing University Center will shake up campus dining options this fall, but hungry students won’t have to go far to grab a bite to eat.

The Fresh Food Company, which features home-style comfort food, pizza, a deli and a salad bar, among other menu items, has moved to a temporary structure on the South Lawn, while DUC Subway has moved to a new location under BatesRunner Hall.

Starting this fall, Panda Express will open in the Garrett Conference Center, while a second P.O.D. Mini Mart will open underneath the new campus apartments on Kentucky Street.

Gary Meszaros, assistant vice president of Auxiliary Services, said having an Asian restaurant, like Panda Express, was something students have been asking for.

Meszaros said Mini Mart will give students living in the apartments access to fresh fruit and other groceries.

Other DUC dining spots, including Red Zone, Chick-Fil-A and Izzi’s, will remain open. Students can also get food at Bates, the Garrett food court, Snell Hall, the Kentucky Museum, Mass Media and Technology Hall, the Tower Food Court and South Campus.

Freshmen coming into WKU who are required to live on campus are required to have a meal plan, according to the Restaurant and Catering Group website.

Meal plans come in 10, 12, 14, 19 and 21 meals per week.

Students have a three-week window at the beginning of each semester to purchase or upgrade their plan, said Nena Shomler, dining services marketing director.

Meal plan members will

Meal pla 14, 19 an ns come in 10 , d 21 me als per w12, eek.

automatically be re-enrolled for the same plan in the spring semester that they chose in the fall, she said.

Students with residential meal plans can use up to four meals per day.

Students can also purchase commuter meal plans, with 30, 50 and 75 “block” meals to use for the semester, according to the website. Those meals can be used at any time and in any amount.

Meals can be used for predetermined amounts at most places.

Some places, like Einstein Bagel Brothers, will not accept meal plans but will accept Meal Plan Dollars.

Meal Plan Dollars are included in all residential meal plans and can be used at any location on campus.

Meal Plan Dollars can only be purchased with a meal plan, Shomler said.

Students can’t add more Meal Plan Dollars onto their plans, she said. Meal Plan Dollars roll over from the fall semester but expire at the end of the spring semester.

Students using Meal Plan Dollars will get an 11 percent discount on purchases at dining locations, according to the website.

Dining Dollars, which work like a debit card, roll over from year to year and also give students an 11 percent discount on purchases at dining locations, according to the website. Students can add Dining Dollars to their accounts at any time throughout the year.

Big Red Dollars also work like a debit card and can be used on campus as well as at many other off-campus locations (For a list, go to http:// bigreddollars.ugrydnetwork.com/). They can be added at any time in an any amount and roll over from year to year, according to the website.

Students using Big Red Dollars don’t get a discount but they can use the money to pay parking tickets, use vending machines on campus and in several other ways, Shomler said. The best plan for a student depends on that student’s eating habits.

WKU takes new measures to boost retention

By Natalie Hayden news@wkuherald.com When it comes to retention, WKU is implementing new procedures and revamping old ones.

The retention task force, created last fall, is focused on improving WKU’s retention rates. Currently, WKU retains 73.5 percent of students from freshman to sophomore year. The goal is 80 percent, said Brian Meredith, associate vice president of Enrollment Management.

In order to meet this goal, programs such as the Best Expectations Program are in full swing. The BEP has been in place for a few years and requires at-risk students to participate in events that will improve their academic experience.

Some of the requirements of the BEP are monthly academic advising sessions, academic workshops and mandated study hours. There were 868 students enrolled in the BEP for the spring semester, said Kevin Thomas, director of the Academic Advising and Retention Center.

“These students have not done well (previously),” Thomas said.

“We know that by coming in and studying in the center, they can be successful with more support than what they’ve had in the past.”

Meredith said that one of the biggest academic difficulties students face is math. Starting last fall, students with developmental needs must take math their first semester and immediately take their first collegelevel course the next semester.

The other developmental classes students need may be spread out between semesters.

“When you put all in at one term, it can scare people off,” Meredith said.

While the task force knew some students were leaving because of academic reasons, the MAP-Works survey was created to learn other reasons students leave, said Sharon Hunter, coordinator of college readiness.

The survey was first administered in the fall semester, with 3,528 students participating, Hunter said. It was emailed to first-time freshmen and transfer students, and asked about money, friendships and homesickness.

“We wanted to get our hands around information we couldn’t get by looking at your class schedule,” Hunter said. “We can look at what actually works and what doesn’t.”

Meredith said that these measures are a “wonderful example of WKU putting its money where its mouth is” in regards to retention.

“This institution has a culture here that is much like a private school,” he said. “It’s a very user-friendly campus, and we want to continue to create a culture to break down perceived barriers students have.”

Hunter agreed, saying that the university wants students to let someone know when they need help.

“We know the cost of a college education,” she said. “We want students to come in and for it to pay off.”

When it comes to schoolwork, I prefer to work alone.

I’ve never been a fan of study groups or group projects, or anything that requires me to work with another person with my grade on the line.

There’s a number of reasons for this. The first being my ego, one that I don’t consider to be big but is large enough for me to think there is nothing a peer can help me with that I can’t already do myself. The second being I get distracted easily, and I know putting me with another person will lead to a lot of conversation not related to what we were supposed to be studying in the first place.

Although I think study groups work for a lot of people and can be a great asset, I never considered myself to be the person who needed another person to help me achieve when it comes to school work.

That was until last semester.

I took a required course called Elementary Logic. When I signed up for it, it seemed simple and intriguing enough. I would become better at constructing and winning arguments, I would reason better, and all this would help me write better.

It wasn’t until after I got into the class that I started to hear the rumors about how hard it was or how people regularly drop the class because of the difficulty.

Despite this, I ignored the naysayers and thought the class would be a challenge, but I would ultimately hit my stride, make an A and move on. But it was the opposite of that.

Someone called it “Hell on Earth,” and I find that idiom dripping with the right amount of dramatic negativity to aptly describe it.

Simply put, the class was hard.

I didn’t know what my professor was talking about or what the material meant, no matter how many times he tried to explain it to me after class.

I couldn’t drop the class because I was taking 14 hours, and dropping would put me under the full-time student hours, opening a whole other can of worms. I was stuck with it.

Halfway through the semester, I thought I was going to actually fail the class. I don’t mean I would make a C and consider that failing. No, I mean legitimately fail the class, have to repeat it and go through that agony again. At the time, a C was the stuff my dreams were made of.

One night, I sat down to begin working on the homework for that week, and I had no idea what the book was talking about. I kept turning it over to make sure I didn’t mistakenly pick up a book in Farsi instead ­— because what I was reading wasn’t English.

It was then that it hit me I wasn’t going to get through this class just by myself. So, I opened up the Blackboard class list and sent an email to everyone enrolled that I was having trouble with the material and asked if anyone wanted to form a study group where we did homework together.

To my surprise, nearly a third of the class responded within minutes. We figured out a time that worked best for everyone and decided to meet up.

For the rest of the semester we met multiple times a week in the library for hours at a time and struggled over homework.

Granted, we all didn’t know the material any better, but it was something about struggling together that made the experience more enjoyable. We would take deep sighs and talk about how much we hated the class, how stupid it was and how we would burn our books when it was all said and done.

I ended up passing my Logic class and can’t say that it was because of the people in my study group, but in the middle of our frustrations, we became really good friends.

My advice to taking a class that turns out to be painstakingly difficult: try to form a study group. Chances are the other students are struggling just as much as you are. Study groups may not lead you to all the answers, but multiple minds are better than one, and sometimes that’s what it takes to get through a course.

Sometimes your peers can be your best help

Take advantage of academic advising support One of the biggest hurdles incoming freshmen face in college is adjusting to their classes and a demanding homework and study schedule.

WKU’s Academic Advising and Retention Center exists to provide students the ability to succeed in their classes.

AARC director Kevin Thomas said the main benefit students get from visiting AARC is support.

“We offer support on advising questions and appointments, supplemental education support, tutoring a variety of courses and extra support for at-risk students,” Thomas said.

Thomas said that while student success has a variety of forms, “the AARC sets students on the right path” to achieve their goals.

“I firmly believe that every student can succeed at WKU,” Thomas said. “They ask for help, and we’ll do all we can to get students to succeed.”

The Learning Center is a subset of the AARC, specializing in peer-to-peer class specific tutoring sessions. Enrolled students can make appointments for one-on-one tutoring for available courses, as well as get tutoring in note-taking, time management and test-taking skills.

Jessica Staten, assistant director of supplemental education at TLC, said supplementing students’ educations outside of the classroom “is vital to the success of college students in the 21st century.”

“TLC provides a supportive and engaged atmosphere for learning which supplements the concepts and theories taught in the classroom,” Staten said via email. “TLC is heavily utilized as a quiet study facility prided on maintaining an academic focus.

TLC employs undergraduate students to provide free peer-to-peer tutoring in over 200 WKU courses and eight academic skill

By Shelby Rogers areas.”

TLC also provides the Academic Advantage Series: Workshops for Success, which are targeted at basic skills collegiate students should have but might be poorly developed, according to the TLC website.

“Each session provides hands-on, expert instruction from professionals at WKU who are dedicated to student success,” Staten said.

Thomas had three key tips for incoming freshmen to get off on the right academic footing.

“Firstly, they need to be organizing their life from the start of the first semester,” he said. “Set a study routine early on.

“Secondly, they need to find the right place to study. College isn’t like high school… You have to build studying into the schedule, and finding the proper place is key.

“Third, and most importantly, students should start to build a relationship with faculty and staff. Faculty really do want to be engaged with students… It’s good to build rapport.”

The study abroad ambassadors at WKU are quick to explain how studying abroad has impacted them.

“Well, certainly one of the most rewarding parts of study abroad is just getting to a point where you can understand yourself. I know it sounds silly, but when you study abroad, you have to be independent,” said Paintsville senior Nate Hovee, an ambassador who will be studying abroad for the third time in Fall 2012.

Centertown junior Leslie Ford, an ambassador who has studied in Greece and England, says studying abroad broadened her perspectives.

“Being from Kentucky and being from a rural area and a relatively small town, it just really opened your eyes to how much is out there,” she said.

Ford also said that studying abroad has also allowed her to realize the opportunities to work abroad after college.

Once a student has decided that he or she wants to study abroad and thought about what they want to get out of the experience, the next step is to fill out an initial interest form and meet with a study abroad adviser.

While meeting with a study abroad adviser, students will discuss program options available to them and fill out a program selection form once the student decides where he or she wants to travel.

There are 45 different countries students can choose from, but while location is important, Sakiba Dzelil, an administrative assistant in the study abroad office, said students also need to consider what they wish to gain from the experience.

“If learning, for example, Spanish is the goal,

then the student should study abroad in Spain,” she said. “However, if a student is a business student that wishes to earn credits toward his or her degree, the St. Etienne France Exchange program is the better option.”

Application deadlines vary with the length of the program.

“A good guideline is to start thinking about it one year in advance, but start the paperwork six to eight months prior to going, usually for semester-length programs,” Dzelil said. “Shorter programs require less planning and can usually be planned out within three months.”

Students also must consider how they will finance their study abroad trip.

There are scholarships available, including World Topper, a scholarship funded by SGA, and for Honors students, a travel abroad grant.

Hovee has reaped the benefits of WKU’s financial support for study abroad students.

“I honestly didn’t realize how much support was out there,” he said.

“Every time I give a presentation, I tell students there is so much academic support and so much financial support.”

The final step is to fill out pre-departure forms and attend pre-departure orientation.

In addition, students must stay in contact with the study abroad office during their program and attend a re-entry session when they return to WKU. For more information, visit the Study Abroad and Global Learning Office in Grise Hall Room 128.

Exploring the BG music scene

By Chris Rutledge news@wkuherald.com The local music scene is an evolving and expanding part of Bowling Green.

Until recently, the most popular music to come out of the area was Sam Bush.

Bush, a mandolin player known for helping pioneer the genre known as newgrass, is one of the key things Bowling Green is associated with.

In fact, in March 2010, legislation passed in Kentucky that officially named Bowling Green the “Birthplace of Newgrass” and Bush the “Father of Newgrass.”

But these days, Bowling Green is popping up in magazines like Rolling Stone and Spin, and bands from the area are playing late-night talk shows and national music festivals such as Coachella.

One of the things that makes Bowling Green’s music scene so special is the sense of community. Band members work together to help establish and maintain a scene that boasts a selection of concerts almost every night of the week.

One of the town’s biggest supporters has been its most popular draw: Cage the Elephant. Since the band gained national acclaim in 2007, it has helped launch local acts like Sleeper Agent and Morning Teleportation and regularly promotes local bands via social media.

Guitarist Brad Shultz said that the help the band gives is well deserved.

“Bowling Green has always had a great music scene that’s been underappreciated by people outside of Bowling Green,” Shultz said. “There are so many great bands in Bowling Green — you have Sleeper Agent, Schools, Morning Teleportation, Canago, Buffalo Rodeo, Rainbow Kitty Kitty… I don’t want to leave anybody out. There’s just tons of great music that needs to be exposed.”

Shultz said that one of the big reasons Cage the Elephant continues to give back to the music community is because of long-standing friendships.

“You naturally want to help your friends out,” he said.

But Shultz said there is another line of thought behind the band’s generosity.

“We go by the theory of paying it forward,” he said. “We think if we help other bands, then other bands are going to help bands that they love once they’re able to.”

Shultz said that the hot spot for music in town is at a bar called Tidball’s, located just off the square.

Egypt Creason Street parking lot FAC Ivan Wilson Fine Arts Center Fresh Fresh Food Company — buffet style meals Gare Bear Hall Gary Ransdell Hall Herald College Heights Herald, WKU’s student-produced newspaper Hilltoppers Nickname for WKU’s sports teams since 1927 Kissing Bridge Bridge at the top of the Hill Israel Normal Street parking lot Mass, MMTH Mass Media and Technology Hall, 24/7 computer lab The Nick Nick Denes baseball field

“For me, Tidball’s is the CBGB of the South,” Shultz said. “It doesn’t matter that it’s in a little town. It has everybody from Sam Bush, Cage the Elephant, Sleeper Agent, Morning Teleportation — all of the bands that have been doing stuff. You can find something at Tidball’s pretty much any night of the week. It’s the hub of the Bowling Green music scene.”

Shultz said that one of the things that makes Tidball’s so great is its history.

“For a lot of bands in Bowling Green, it’s been their first show that they ever played at Tidball’s,” he said. “Tidball’s was our first show, at a venue, that we ever played.”

Back then, Cage was called Perfect Confusion, and lead singer Matt Shultz was underage and not

allowed to stay at the bar after the show.

This is one of the downsides of Tidball’s — since it is a bar, it is a 21-and-up venue. But younger students shouldn’t fret, because two new venues recently opened:, The Twisted Tap and the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center.

The Twisted Tap is a bar and grill in the square that features free shows and open mic nights regularly.

Because they are a bar “and grill,” they allow 18-and-up until 10 p.m.

The Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center, or SKyPAC, houses an 1,800-seat performance hall, which features everything from concerts to plays to Sesame Street Live.

Bowling Green may be known as the “Birthplace of Newgrass,” but it’s quickly becoming a birthplace of opportunity.

“There’s just tons of great music that needs to be exposed.”

The destruction of Allen, Boomer, and Wright halls, also known as the Triads, took place this summer after the SIU Board of Trustees deemed them to be structurally unfit.

The demolition of the buildings was budgeted to cost approximately $3 million, and will eventually be replaced with new housing.

Construction is predicted to be completed by 2023 and will also include the demolition of the Brush Towers.

ouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have students and families drive into the front door of our campus and see where they need to go immediately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be so much better for students.

tips for

college students from the

1. Take the time to find your classrooms before the first day of school so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get lost and end up missing anything.

2. Make a mental note of Debit Dawg machine locations when you find them so you can put money on it when you need to.

3. Watch out for trendy bicyclers and longboarders when driving around campus. They usually have earbuds in and might not hear your horn!

4. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own your own computer? There are computer labs in some academic buildings around campus.

5. Sometimes it is a better idea to attend classes first and figure out which textbooks you will actually need to purchase before reserving them.

6. All the washers and dryers taken up in your residence halls? There are laundry facilities on the bottom levels of the dining halls on campus.

7. Keep a couple dollars on your Debit Dawg at all times for printing.

8. Prevent any chance of being struck by a car while on your way to class. Walk your bikes across the crosswalks and look up from your phones.

9. Double check your academic records for your own sake. Everyone makes mistakes. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your advisers do it all for you.

10. Refrigerate leftover pizza so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get food poisoning.

11. You can paddleboat or canoe on campus lake for free with your student I.D. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall in, the water is questionable.

12. Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend lecture? Need help understanding an assignment? Take advantage of professorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office hours. They exist for your advantage and your instructor will appreciate you using your resources.

13. Lock your bikes securely to the racks around campus. One loop around the front tire isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough.

14. Take the parking signs seriously. You will get a ticket. For those of you with green stickers, just stay put in your lot.

15. Forget your keys in the ignition of your locked car? SIU Police can unlock it for free as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on campus.

16. Classes can start pretty early sometimes. Find a good nap spot somewhere around campus to recharge if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to go back home. The chairs in Morris Library are pretty comfortable.

17. Make at least one friend in each class so you can get any homework or notes you might have missed if you are ever absent.

18. There is more than fast food in Carbondale. Try the area restaurants. And everyone should experience a Winstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bagel.

19. Get involved in a Registered Student Organization, or five. They look great on resumes, and you can make awesome friends.

20. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election season. Be sure to register to vote so you can help decide who should run our country. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain about the outcome if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contribute to it!

21. Give yourself ample time to get to class. No one likes sitting in the front row when those are the only seats left open.

22. Keep your student I.D. on you at all times. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need it for more things than you probably anticipate.

23. Try to get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest. We know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempting to hang out with friends and procrastinate on assignments, but sleep is key.

24. If your roommate arrangements arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working out, talk to University Housing. They really will help you.

25. A large portion of campus living is time spent outside of class. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a homebody. Get out and explore whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around you.

couple things that I would recommend for students is to be in a registered student organization, one or two is good, but if you are only going to be in one, make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a registered student organization that is somehow aligned with your major or career path. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michelle Garrett Career Services Specialist

A Muslim man prays alone after a day of fasting during Ramadan July 21 at the Carbondale Muslim Center. As part of the Islamic faith, Muslims are encouraged to fast from dawn to sunset and refrain from eating, drinking and sex. Imam Moustafa Morsy, spiritual leader of the Islamic Center of Carbondale, said Ramadan is a time to resist temptation, grow as a person and develop empathy towards people who have nothing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we kill the material desires in ourselves,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You feel very light and close to God.â&#x20AC;?

A If you want to have a good time in a rural setting, you have to go out into the woods and find it. Southern Illinois is nestled between our nations two largest river systems and is dissimilar to the rest of the state in both topography and population. In Carbondale, hiking, climbing, and canoeing are only a quick bike or car ride away. With 280,000 acres of the Shawnee National Forest spanning southern Illinois, Carbondale is near 25 State Parks, 15 Lakes and seven Wilderness Areas waiting to be discovered.
