10

things we wish we knew before being on our own

Simply being out of your parents’ house is not the same thing as living on your own.

Here’s a list of 10 things we wish someone had told us before we ditched the dorms for apartments and houses.

EXIST, AND THEY CAN ➥ UTILITIES BE PRICEY.

Instead of paying a flat rate once per semester like you do for the dorms, rent and utilities are paid monthly.

Though rent is a flat rate, utilities vary from month to month depending on usage. Use heat and air conditioning smartly, as these can hike up your gas and electricity bills in the winter and summer. Be sure to adjust your budget during months that are especially hot or cold to account for the increased utility prices. For those in apartments, some utilities are usually included, so check with your landlord or leasing agency to see which are and are not accounted for in monthly rent payments.

IF YOU DON’T CLEAN UP, THE CITY

➥ COULD FINE YOU.

If your yard is full of trash, the city has the right to issue you a notice of violation with a $50 fine per day.

Additionally, if you leave trash cans by the curb for more than 24 hours after the designated trash pickup day, a $15 fine per day will be issued. In terms of yard appearance, if grass or weeds grow above 8 inches, the city can fine you $50 per day. If snow and ice aren’t removed from sidewalks within 24 hours of accumulation, the city can fine you $50 per day. All fines must be paid within two weeks of notice.

DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST

➥ MINUTE TO SET THEM UP, EITHER. Most students move into their houses at about the same time in the two weeks leading up to the start of classes each August. This makes for a busy time for utility companies. To ensure you won’t be taking cold showers or living without Internet for a week, schedule these appointments as early as possible. If you have never had a bill under your name, setting it up for the first time is likely to take longer due to a lack of credit history.

NETFLIX RULES IF YOU’RE ON

➥ A BUDGET.

If you don’t have the funds to afford cable on top of all your other monthly bills, alternative TV entertainment through online services like Netflix or Hulu Plus can be a great substitute. This could save you about $90 per month. If you need to catch a game or your favorite show see if one of your friends has a cable box.

HAVE TO MOW YOUR LAWN, ➥ YOU SHOVEL YOUR SNOW AND TAKE OUT YOUR TRASH. If you thought the time of doing chores was over, think again. Unless your landlord lives in town and is kind enough to do it for you, you

will be responsible for maintaining your lawn and making sure your sidewalks are kept clear of snow and ice in the winter if you live in a house.

Additionally, you have to keep trash levels under control, and be sure to take cans to the curb weekly.

➥

THE GROCERY STORE DOESN’T ACCEPT MEAL POINTS. Shocker, we know. Remember that groceries cost real money.

ONE COOKS YOUR FOOD. ➥ NO Neither your mom nor IU Residential Programs and Services are around to feed you. Unless you have an awesome roommate or you eat out for every meal, you’re probably going to have to learn how to cook, or at least heat up ramen noodles.

HAVE A PLAN FOR SHARING

WITH ➥ RESPONSIBILITIES ROOMIES.

If you don’t want it all to fall on one person’s shoulders, be sure to have a plan for delegating tasks. It can be helpful to have a white board to write down bill amounts as they come in each month and plan ahead for who will take the trash out each week and complete other chores.

THERE (GENERALLY) AREN’T

➥ DESIGNATED QUIET HOURS.

Though some apartment complexes have posted quiet hours, there is no resident assistant to tell you or your neighbors to tone it down on weeknights. This can be both a good and bad thing. Noisy neighbors are much more likely to keep you up the night before an exam. However, it makes mid-week fun a lot more feasible. However, . There’s also the risk of noise complaints if you’re too rowdy.

THOUGH FUN, LEAVE ➥ PARTIES, GIANT MESSES.

Though it might be awesome to pack 100 people into your house, cleaning up a 100-person mess the next day with limited help might not be worth it.

“IT’S NOT A FRIDAY NIGHT HOOKUP, IT’S MORE LIKE A MARRIAGE.”

Renting: the right way

BY MEGAN JULA | mjula@indiana.edu

Somewhere amidst a muddle of leases and landlords, you are trying to figure out the logistics of renting. Here are a few tips from Randall Frykberg, director of IU’s Student Legal Services, to consider before you get the keys to your new home.

➥

Do take pictures of your property before you move in.

Inspect the area thoroughly and note any defects. The strongest cases Student Legal Services receives are those with visual evidence, Frykberg said.

“If a defect seems important (windows, door locks, bugs), don’t accept the keys unless your landlord fixes it,” he said.

➥

➥

➥

Do pick your roommates carefully.

“It’s not a Friday night hookup, it’s more like a marriage,” Frykberg said. “It’s important to live with someone cool but, more importantly, someone you are comfortable paying bills with.”

Do purchase renter’s insurance Renter’s insurance protects your belongings in case of fire, flood, theft and other disasters. Frykberg said renter’s insurance is especially important for students with valuable possessions, such as expensive computers, televisions, cameras or other electronics.

It is easy to add renter’s insurance onto your parents’ homeowner’s insurance for about $15 to $20 a month.

Your car insurance provider can also easily add renter’s insurance to your policy.

Don’t allow friends to engage in illegal activities on your property.

As the Student Legal Services website says, “You did a bad deed, hosting friends and their weed.”

Remember, you could end up paying their share of the rent if your lease includes a “joint and several liability” clause.

Keep in mind you can be held accountable for any illegal activities you permit.

HOUSING & LIVING GUIDE | FALL 2012

➥

➥ Don’t give your landlord a reason to report you.

Your landlord, or your neighbors, can report you for a variety of city violations. These include noise , trash and yard maintenance.

Your landlord might require yyou sign g a list of house rules covering pets, quiet hours and so forth.

If you break them, you can be evicted.

MCT CAMPUS

Clauses on your lease might allow your landlord to evict you for certain criminal violations.

These include “use and/or sale of illegal drugs, serving alcohol to a minor and even consumption of alcohol by a minor,” according to Student Legal Services.

THE MAGIC NUMBER

Trying to decide how many roommates is the right amount? It’s a huge choice you’ll probably have to make at least once in your college career. The following viewpoints from three IU seniors in different living situations can help make your decision easier.

HANNAH JONES

LOGAN ELLOWSKY

JORDAN YLAUAN

Roommates: 0

Roommates: 2

Roommates: 4

IDS Why did you decide to get a place for yourself?

IDS What made you decide to live with two roommates?

IDS Why did you decide to live with four other guys?

JONES The last three years of college, I had bad experiences with roommates. First, I lived with Kasie (Kyle). We were friends, but we didn’t really live well together. The year after that, I lived with more of an acquaintance and then a subletter, and that just went straight to hell. I guess I was just tired of roommates letting me down, and I’d rather not have to worry about them anymore and just worry about myself.

ELLOWSKY I think two’s the right amount.

More people would be a lot more hectic, and I feel like it would be a lot more money involved. Living by yourself, it would be kind of depressing. I feel like you’d get a lot more work done, but you wouldn’t have anyone to talk to.

YLAUAN One was money reasons. It’s a lot cheaper to split the cost of everything with five of us. There’s also always someone to hang out with. You’re never really bored.

There’s always someone to play video games with, to watch TV with, to go eat with. So, it’s fun because there’s always people around.

IDS What specific problems did you encounter?

JONES Last year, getting rent on time from my roommates was a big deal. I would pay my half, and then they would say, “Oh, I’ll get it by the end of the week. Can you just pay it? I’ll pay you back.” Living with people who were financially irresponsible was not a very good decision.

IDS Besides avoiding financially irresponsible people, what are the biggest advantages to living by yourself?

JONES You get to watch whatever you want on TV anytime you want. You can make noise in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bedroom. You can do whatever you want because no one’s going to complain.

IDS Do you ever wish you had more or less roommates?

ELLOWSKY It would be more advantageous if you’re having a party or any kind of social gathering. Living alone would be nice to have your own bathroom.

Sharing bathrooms can get a little annoying at times.

IDS Any advice for anyone trying to decide on how many roommates to live with?

ELLOWSKY If you’re really looking into getting stuff done, I suggest you live with as few people as possible. If you just want to coast, living with more people would be awesome.

IDS What are the disadvantages to having so many roommates?

YLAUAN There’s always something to do, so you have to stay disciplined to get homework done. There’s always usually someone around your house, like other friends of people. You really have to stay on top of things. I really have to go to the library a lot to get anything done.

IDS Do you ever wish you lived with fewer people?

YLAUAN Yeah. A lot of times dishes will pile up. There’s so much trash, and it won’t get taken out. It’s just such a pain. We only have two bathrooms, too, and a lot of times a lot of us are getting up at the same time.

Breaking through the legal bull Should you wish to sign a lease in Bloomington, there are a couple things you must remember before putting the pen to paper. The Indiana Daily Student and Randall Frykberg from IU’s Student Legal Services have some tips to consider and clauses to look out for when pondering a place of residence. it. Don’t allow yourself to be charged for something you didn’t break. Sometimes, your leasing agent or landlord will do a walkthrough with you before you move in. Make sure to take notes of any damages so you and your landlord are on the same page.

Ascertainability Almost all leases in Bloomington contain joint and liability clauses. Should one roommate be unable to pay his or her share, all roommates will be responsible. If the lease does not contain this clause, the landlord likely rents individual rooms and will often reserve the right to replace any person who has been evicted with a person of their choosing. Regardless, make sure your roommates can carry their weight.

Subleasing If you’re going out of town for the summer on an internship or returning home, you can choose

to sublet your residence. Make sure that your subletter will not ruin anything and stick you with the bill.

Eviction Contingent upon your landlord, certain rules contained in the lease must be followed.

Leave no room for ambiguity concerning those rules that list eviction as a consequence.

MORE CLAUSES TO LOOK OUT FOR: Savings clause This clause makes tenants liable for rent after eviction. The tenant must pay monthly rent until the lease ends, even though they can’t live in the residence.

Acceleration clause This states that once a tenant breaches the lease terms, he or she immediately owes the rent for the remainder of the lease term. In this situation, the

Legality A lease is a legally binding contract. Your landlord has a lawyer who writes the lease agreement. Before signing anything, bring it to the Student Legal Services office at 703 E. Seventh St. They can help you go over it to find any red flags your landlord may have put in.

Length Most leases in Bloomington are for 12 months, but some are open-ended. In those cases, both the tenant and landlord have the right to terminate the lease at any time. Look for leases that include an automatic-renewal clause, which automatically renews the lease unless tenants give written notice 30 to 60 days prior to the end date.

Entirety Before accepting keys from the landlord, take photo or video of the entire house or apartment.

If something is broken, report

landlord is legally obligated to re-rent the property as soon as possible to minimize the amount of lost profit.

Attorney’s fees clause This is written into most leases and states that if a landlord hires a lawyer for any reason, brings a suit against the tenant and wins, the tenant is responsible for all of the landlord’s attorney fees.

‘Lock-out’ clause This allows a landlord to gain possession of a home without an eviction order. This is rare because lock-outs are illegal under state law.

Cosigner clause This requires a cosigner, typically a student’s parent or guardian, to share responsibility for the terms of the lease. Some landlords require this for international students.

Living eco-friendly DISCOVER THE

Living sustainably cuts costs, damage to environment

BY AUDREY PANGALLO pangalla@indiana.edu

Finding ways to reduce environmental impact can be a challenge for the average college student.

Luckily for IU students, there are many ways to be more ecofriendly without even leaving home.

Emilie Rex, assistant director of sustainability at the IU Office of Sustainability, works student initiatives.

“There are lots of ways for students to evaluate their impact on the environment,” Rex said.

Rex believes students need to focus on reducing the resources they use.

One way Rex recommended students reduce their water consumption is by taking shorter showers.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, people in the United States use 1.2 trillion gallons of water per year while showering.

By taking shorter showers, students can conserve a lot of water.

Another resource students consume frequently is electricity.

According to IU’s Integrated Energy Master Plan, 73.1 percent of energy used at IU is electricity.

Electricity consumption can often sneak up on students. Rex said even when electronics are not being used, they can still consume electricity through what is called a canceling charge.

Conserving energy and water not only benefit the environment, but also benefit students’ bills.

“There’s actually a bit of financial payoff to those,” Rex said.

Patricia Peng is an intern at the Office of Sustainability who works with students to find sustainable housing. She had a straightforward message concerning electricity usage for students.

“If you’re not using it, unplug it,” she said.

TIPS AT A GLANCE • Reuse water bottles instead of buying new ones.

• Buy products made from recycled materials.

• Buy food that uses limited packaging.

• Recycle as many materials as possible, including cans, glass and paper.

• Print only what you need, and print double-sided.

• Read documents on a computer instead of printing them.

• Donate unwanted items to local charities.

• Use reusable bags instead of paper or plastic.

• In dining halls, take only what you need of food, condiments and napkins.

For students looking to be eco-friendly off campus, Peng suggested finding places that have updated appliances.

For living on campus, Peng encouraged students to recycle and actively take part in helping dorms reduce energy consumption.

“Tell your RA if something isn’t running right,” she said.

Students can go beyond their apartments and dorms and help the environment by using alternative transportation. This can be done by simply walking to class, taking a bike or using public transportation.

When students need to stock their fridge, Rex said the most sustainable option is to buy local food whenever possible.

If students would like to find more information about living in a sustainable way, there are several websites they can use, including that of the IU Office of Sustainability website indiana.edu/~sustain

Historic houses of IU The average IU student walking to and from classes in a hurry can forget the architecture IU boasts. While each building around campus has its own personality, few can compare to the character and history of the Bryan and Woodburn houses.

Though separate treasures in their own right, they embody the spirit and tradition of IU.

BY TAYLOR GRAYSON tawygray@indiana.edu

IDS FILE PHOTO

BRYAN HOUSE Built in 1924, the William Lowe and Charlotte Lowe Bryan House was commissioned for the president of the University.

William Lowe Bryan, whom the house is named for, served as the 10th president. The house has since been home to every University president except Joseph Lee Stutton.

looking the campus, the stately building certainly emanates a sense of grandeur. Refurbished once Herman B Wells took residence, the house serves not only as a home but as a meeting place. The Bryan House is wellknown for inviting incoming freshmen and outgoing seniors to reflect on their IU journey.

While the Bryan House has seen many gatherings and happy

times, it has also seen some hard ones. Following the firing of men’s basketball Coach Bob Knight, students swarmed the Bryan House to protest former President Myles Brand.

The house has welcomed its fair share of visitors and people of note, and the artifacts and history found inside attest its vibrant history.

HOUSING & LIVING GUIDE | FALL 2012

WOODBURN HOUSE Much the same as the Bryan House in terms of old-time charm, the Woodburn House is another campus jewel.

Located on College Avenue, the Woodburn House is more than 175 years old. Though it started as a modest house with only two rooms, the house has grown into one of the campus’s most well-known houses.

In 1855, political science professor James Woodburn, the house’s namesake, purchased the entire block including the house from its previous owners. The house became Woodburn’s personal home, and it stayed in his family for a considerable amount of time.

The house saw many improvements and additions until his death in 1865.

After Woodburn’s death, his widow began taking in student boarders, and the house

became a hotspot. Former tenants included the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and, at one point, the secretly run student newspaper, the Dagger.

One of the most notable residents was Herman B Wells,

whose memorabilia can still be found in the house, including his Santa suit and spectacles.

The house was retired of its duty as a boarding house in the early 1900s and was officially presented to the University

during Wells’ residency in 1941.

Today, it still serves as a meeting place for campus and alumni events. This is only fitting to its original motto of “hospes genius domi,” meaning “the guest is the spirit of the house.”

The Greek houses RABI ABONOUR | IDS

PHOTO COURTESY OF IU ARCHIVES

A car drives away from the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house in 1964. Beta, founded at IU in 1845, was the University's first greek house.

BETA THETA PI HOUSE Beta Theta Pi, founded in 1845 is the oldest fraternity on campus. The original Beta house, which sat between Alpha Tau Omega and Acacia on Third Street, burned down.

Remnants of the original house can still be seen there, Beta House Manager and senior Adam Onderdonk said.

From there, the house moved

in 1927 to the location that is currently the School of Informatics and Computing.

The fraternity was removed from campus in 2001, and when it recolonized in 2003, members moved into their present location at 1100 N. Jordan Ave. The house consists of two main wings: the North Wing and the Central Wing. The

central wing consists of three floors, the top floor being the “Exec Floor,” where fraternity executives live.

Although there is no basement, the house contains a main great hall, a kitchen, many bedrooms, and conference rooms.

The property received a $40,000 renovation last summer.

DELTA DELTA DELTA HOUSE Prior to the building of the Tri Delt house, the property at 818 E. Third St. was occupied by two private residences. The sorority bought one of homes, but when the group outgrew the living area, members decided to built a larger house on the property.

The house, which still stands today, was built in the late 1920s, Tri Delt House Corporation Board President Michelle Conn Kahlo said, and was inspired by a modified English Tudor house.

Two renovations have taken place since the 1920s – once in the 1950s and once in the 1980s – and the sorority eventually bought the second private residence at the location and removed it from the property.

The members who live in the house stay in cold dorms, a living arrangement in which all the bunk beds are in one large room.

The house also features a formal and informal living room.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE DORMS SHUT DOWN

W

When the dorms close, people who are unable to go home are faced with a dilemma. Here are some tips for avoiding the hassle of being homeless during breaks.

CHANGE DORMS IU Residential Programs and Services allows alternate dorm arrangements for students that need to stay on campus during breaks.

For the upcoming Thanksgiving

break, dorms will close at 10 a.m. Nov. 17 and re-open 8 a.m.

Nov. 25. Students can sign up for temporary housing for the week. Sign up before Nov. 9.

Housing for the weeks costs $50 and is nonrefundable.

Your friends are likely to be on vacation, and many professors leave for research or are otherwise out of their homes when the campus is on break.

Center desks and food and mail services will close during break.

Hospitality exchange websites like couchsurfing.org can also help students locate a place to stay.

HOUSE-SIT Volunteer to get the mail, water the plants, feed the pets or make the house look lived in.

WORK AT A PLACE THAT PROVIDES HOUSING Summer camps and retreat

locations are always looking for workers.

You can often get free housing while making some extra cash and adding to your resume.

TRAVEL The IU Office of Overseas Study offers alternative living plans. In the past, students have travelled to more than 50 countries.

Many student-run organizations offer the opportunity to travel within the United States.

Where can I park?

BY MICHELLE SOKOL mlsokol@indiana.edu

IU Parking Operations Director Doug Porter has one tip for students to avoid tickets on campus: don’t gamble.

In other words, if you’re not sure if you can park in that spot, don’t do it.

We’re here to help you navigate the sometimes murky waters of on- and off-campus parking.

ON CAMPUS Permits There are thousands of parking spots on campus and five different zones of permits. Knowing where your permit allows you to park and at what time can help you avoid a hefty ticket.

A Permit Eligibility: Faculty and staff Where you can park: Any A, C or E spot C Permit Eligibility: Faculty, staff and research assistants Where you can park: Any designated C spot D Permit Eligibility: Students living in residence halls Where you can park: Designated D spaces, zoned depending on residence hall E Permit Eligibility: All students, faculty and staff Where you can park: The most popular location for E permits is Memorial Stadium. A few additional E spots are

located east of the bypass behind the Cyberinfrastructure Building. Cars must be moved from Memorial Stadium the day before home games.

F Permit Eligibility: All students, faculty and staff Where you can park: Any non-24-hour space, but only after 5 p.m. or on weekends No permit Where you can park: Any vehicle may park in any D or E zone from 5 p.m.

Friday through 11 p.m. Sunday, with or without a valid permit unless posted otherwise. Parking is free in all garages on Saturdays and Sundays.

If you need to park on campus during the day without a permit, try one of the many garages. The Indiana Memorial Union pay lots are the cheapest, and you get a 60 percent discount if you present a receipt from the IMU. Tip: If you know you’ll be on campus all day and want your car to drive home, park in one of the garages. You’ll get ticketed if you leave your car in the garage overnight, except on weekends, but wait until closing time, which ranges from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., to get your car out for free.

COMMON TICKETS Expired meter: $25 Fire lane: $40 Handicapped zone: $100 No parking zone: $40 Invalid or no permit: $40 Parking operations can issue tickets if your tires are touching the white lines, so be sure to pull into the spot straight to avoid a $40 ticket.

CampusProwler is an online student ranking service. They ranked IU on parking ease in the following categories.

CampusProwler grade: C Parking enforcement: 6/10 Distance from dorms: 5.8/10 Distance from class: 4/10 Permit cost: 3.6/10 Ease of finding a spot: 3.5/10

OFF CAMPUS The cheapest and easiest option for parking off-campus is to buy a residential permit for $25. If you choose a house outside the residential parking limits, you can park for free, but if you score a place close enough to campus, there’s a chance you’re not eligible for a permit.

First, check the parking zone map at bloomington.in.gov.

Neighborhood Parking Zone There are 10 neighborhood parking zones in Bloomington, and your permit is only good for the zone in which you live. To apply for a permit, you must provide proof of residency, a current lease and current vehicle registration.

Each address is eligible for one visitor’s permit for $25.

Business District Congratulations for scoring an apartment on Kirkwood Avenue, but if you didn’t ask about parking when signing a lease, your options are limited. Check with the City of Bloomington Parking Services for permit availability. Permits are available for some downtown lots and garages, such as the lot at East Sixth St and North Lincoln Street, on a very limited basis.

Many local businesses are willing to lease spaces, but expect to pay upward of $70 a month. Check Craigslist to get started.

Free parking Short-term parking is available in downtown Bloomington in 15-minute to 2-hour intervals. You can park on a single block for only one time period per day, and this means either side of the street. Downtown parking is generally free on weekends, but some spots closer to the square are monitored Saturday mornings. Check the sign before leaving your car.

Free parking is also available on certain streets outside of downtown and neighborhood residential zones. Check out the maps on bloomington.in.gov/ parking to find these locations.

They’ve been there ➥ What these IU students wish they knew before moving out of the dorms.

BY MAKENZIE HOLLAND makholla@indiana.edu

Glenn Graves, senior “I should have figured out how to contact realtors, spent more time looking to rent houses for the following year.”

At IU, dorm living is required of all freshman students entering the University. Transfer students are also sometimes required to live in the dorms during their first year on campus.

From McNutt to Forest quads, the dorms house a range of students, who seek other living arrangements after their year spent on campus.

Erin Angle, sophomore

Simon Weber, junior

The IDS asked, “What is one thing you wish you knew when you left the dorms?”

“You should always check out the rent signs earlier at all of the places, so you know what’s available.”

Charlie Duffy, senior “I guess I would wish to know more locations I could have lived at, so I could have narrowed my search. There are so many options that I didn’t know about.”

“I didn’t find where to live until really late. I wish I knew to look for roommates and a place to live earlier.”

Lounging around Campus overcrowding leaves students without residence hall rooms

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu

Executive Director of Residential Programs and Services Patrick Connor said RPS is hopeful that the new Rose Avenue Residence Hall, opening in fall 2013, will prevent the previous situation of overcrowding in the dorms.

Through this dorm, 440 new beds will be added to campus.

For the past 10 years, IU has required all first-year students to live on campus, unless they meet exemption requirements. At the start of the year, 10,876 students lived in residence halls and some of these students start out in lounges.

“When a student is placed in temporary accommodations they are provided some information about the

potential length of their temporary assignments,” Connor said in an email. “This year based on our occupancy models and trends, we knew that we would be able to place all students with an initial temporary assignment into a permanent room within the first three weeks of classes. “ Connor said about one percent of students signed up to live in residence halls just don’t show up come fall.

“We find there are many students who fail to communicate with us about their change in plans and it is only when we call them after we have opened that they will confirm they are not planning to live on-campus,” Connor said.

It is at this point that students living in lounges take

“National data supported by on-campus numbers would indicated that at each year in school students who live on campus perform better than their off-campus cohort.”

Patrick Connor, Executive Director of Residential Programs and Services

the unoccupied rooms. Students are also given a small cut in their room and board fees for living in lounges.

“Once a student receives a permanent assignment, they receive a 20 percent credit in their housing charges for the number of days they lived in temporary housing, calculated off the double room rate for the building they had been living in temporarily,” Connor said.

Sometimes students have to live in lounges for an entire semester. When this

occurs, Connor said the lounges are transformed to resemble a typical dorm room and they are also keyed solely for the students living in the lounges.

Connor said students are required to live on campus their first year to help them succeed.

“National data supported by on-campus numbers would indicated that at each year in school students who live on campus perform better than their off-campus cohort,” Connor said.

NEED A HAND?

Bloomington has enough options to fit every student’s moving needs.

BY KIRSTEN CLARK | kirclark@indiana.edu

Every time students have to leave town, they’re stuck with a dilemma: What to do with all that stuff.

While some students decide to haul their stuff home, many will opt to stash their belongings in one of the available storage facilities in Bloomington.

Julie Aton, secretary and treasurer of the Indiana Self Storage Association, a non-profit trade organization, shared some tips for students looking to rent a storage unit.

Don’t just choose the closest storage facility Most people select the closest facility for the sake of convenience, but Aton said for summer storage, that might not necessarily be the best choice.

“It would be important for someone who would be making frequent trips to the storage unit,”

she said, adding most students renting a storage space make only a few trips between their dorm or apartment and the storage facility.

Visit the facility beforehand “A visit to the storage facility should assure the facility is clean and well-maintained,” Aton said.

“The staff should be professional, courteous and accessible. Ideally, you should look for a facility that is fully-fenced with a computerized access gate and surveillance cameras and is well-lit.”

Aton said it is helpful to see the actual storage units beforehand as well.

Aton said potential renters should ask about pest control, gate access hours, payment options and office hours. She said it is also helpful to check online reviews.

Take extra measures to protect

your belongings Most storage facilities offer both climate-controlled and nonclimate-controlled storage units.

“For summer storage, you may prefer temperature-controlled storage, especially if you are storing electronics and nice furniture,” Aton said.

However, if temperature-controlled spaces aren’t available, there are steps students can take to protect their belongings from the heat and humidity. Aton recommended purchasing a chemical moisture absorber, such as DampRid or Dri-Z-Air, for storage units without air conditioning.

She said placing a tarp or wooden pallets on the unit’s concrete floor can further protect belongings.

“It is important that the items you store are dry, clean and protected,” Aton said. “You can also further protect your items by

covering them with plastic.”

Save some money Aton said students should look for special discounts for student storage.

“You may also be able to negotiate a discount if you pay the full amount in advance,” she said.

Storage rental companies will often ask whether your belongings are insured. Some will offer insurance, but students can also check with their current insurance providers to see if they can cover the items going into storage.

Lock up your stuff Most facilities require renters to provide their own locks, although many will sell locks at the facility, Aton said. She suggested a high-quality, maximum-security lock, such as a disc lock.

BUDGET BREAKDOWN

BY SARAH THACKER | sarthack@indiana.edu, SOURCES | Nationwide.com and Apartmentguide.com

Moving out of the dorms is a reality check for most students. Instead of dealing with meal points and a one-time roomand-board payment, suddenly you are budgeting for monthly rent, utilities and groceries in addition to fun.

Tips for success

Discretionary spending dominates the average student’s budget.

Food and random goodies, such as entertainment, clothes, gadgets and personal care products

12% 40%

19%

Room and board

1) Plan ahead – First things first. Know how much income you actually have a month.

2) Delegate, delegate, delegate – Set aside the money you know you need for rent and utilities. Then delegate a certain percentage to groceries, gas and other necessary purchases. You’ll know how much extra you have to spend at the bars, movies, restaurants and other fun things.

3) Save – Even if you save $20 a month, every bit counts. If you have a pool of funds to fall back on when you want to make an important purchase or when your electric bill is through the roof, you can avoid credit card debt or late payments.

4) Live cheaper – Especially in Bloomington, there are tons of ways to save. Shop at thrift stores for apparel. Eat cheap with weekly specials and grocery coupons. Take advantage of all the free and discounted entertainment in town by catching a movie at the Indiana Memorial Union’s Whittenberger Auditorium or seeing a cheap band play at a local venue.

5) Use cash – Swiping the plastic feel like you aren’t really spending at all, but having physical cash will make you more aware and help you budget more wisely.

There’s an app for that We love our smartphones. Why not use yours to help you budget? Check out these finance-tracking apps. iReconcile – This is like a digital check register that breaks down your budget to show you where you’re spending the most. ($2.99) Mint – This free application requires no user input by connecting securely to your bank account. You can access bank statements and track your budget.

Additionally, it’s password-protected for your security and safety. (Free)

Blow your speakers up tonight JUST KIDDING, POLICE SAY DON’T It’s all fun and games until somebody lands a city noise ordinance.

Regarding all reported incidents, the Bloomington Police Department abides by a triage system, meaning noise violations are prioritized by the number of officers available to respond as they come through

to dispatch.

BPD Lt. Faron Lake said noise violations fall somewhere near the bottom of the priority chain.

“Keep it small, keep it inside,” Lake said regarding house parties. “It’s a rarity that we have to knock on a door and someone answers.”

BY MICHAEL MAJCHROWICZ | mmajchro@indiana.edu

Concerning noise violations, BPD operates on a two strikes, you’re out policy.

The first time an ordinance is cited, a $50 fine and a written warning might come into the picture. The second time, more expensive fees and jail time are within the realm of further consequences, Lake said.

INCREASING OFFENSES MEANS INCREASING FINES 1st offense Each person who occupies or controls the residence is subject to a $50 fine.

2nd offense LT. FARON LAKE’S TIPS FOR PARTY-THROWERS » Most complaints stem from an overpowering stereo system.

Enjoy the music, but ease up on the bass. » Keep the invite list small. The smaller the list, the easier it is to take control of the situation, if necessary.

» No wandering about outside or on porch areas. » If a neighbor’s party is out of hand, stick to calling the non-emergency number. Leave the 911 line open for priority calls and those who need more immediate assistance.

Dollar Store gourmet

GOOD DEALS 12-oz. jar roasted red peppers 12-oz. jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in water 2.5-lb. bag long-grain rice

BY JOE STUMPE | MCT Campus

With food prices climbing higher, more grocery shoppers might give dollar stores a look. Here are a few common perceptions about dollar stores and what I actually found:

1-lb. box Barilla pasta 9-oz. jar pimento-stuffed green olives 16-oz. jar salsa 1 bag (15 count) flour fajita-size tortillas

TRUTH

PERCEPTION Dollar stores are good only for bulk goods and pantry basics, such as pasta and canned tomatoes.

Dollar stores sell products that are damaged or have reached their expiration dates.

Dollar stores sell only obscure off brands.

was the happiest surprise, as I found sun-dried ➥ This tomatoes, roasted red peppers and other gourmet products for great prices.

➥

I found no evidence of expired goods. It did seem there were a few more dented cans than you’d find in a supermarket.

products are a pretty good mix of name brands ➥ The and others you probably won’t recognize. Some of the latter are regional brands or come from other countries, but all we sampled passed the taste test.

DOLLAR STORE DRAWBACKS 1) Not everything is actually $1 and/or a good deal.

2) Products are limited and not always available.

3) Dollar stores sell packaged products with long shelf lives. There are no fresh sources of protein or produce, at least not for $1.

4) As for packaged goods, that great deal you found last week might not be on the shelves today.

Dollar Store deluxe pasta

Key lime pie with coconut marshmallow “meringue”

A restaurant might add freshly grated Parmesan to this dish. But with the strong flavors provided by the sun-dried tomatoes, olives and other ingredients, tasters didn’t really miss it. As it is, the cost of the recipe, which makes six to eight servings, is about $2.50.

A quick and easy twist on egg white-based meringue, the marshmallow-and-coconut combo that tops this pie is addictive.

Substitute chocolate pie filling if desired. Cost of pie, which makes eight to 10 servings, is about $3.50.

1 lb. penne pasta

1 graham cracker pie crust

2/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, the kind that come packed in water or oil, chopped

2 cans, 20 oz. each, key lime pie filling

2 whole roasted red bell peppers, from a 12 oz. jar, cut into strips 1/3 cup pimiento-stuffed olives, sliced 1/3 cup chopped roasted almonds or other nuts 3 tablespoons olive oil or olive-vegetable oil blend Minced garlic, from jar, and Italian seasoning to taste Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste 1) Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.

2) Toss pasta with remaining ingredients and serve.

2 cups mini marshmallows 3 tablespoons unsweetened grated coconut 1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2) Spoon pie filling into pie crust. Spread marshmallows evenly over filling and sprinkle with coconut.

3) Bake about 15 minutes or until marshmallows and coconut are lightly browned.

4) Remove pie from oven and cool on rack. Refrigerate at least four hours before serving.

UTILITIES GUIDE Remember these tips for understanding utilities in Bloomington.

➥

What am I responsible for?

With a house you are usually responsible for setting up all utilities including gas, electric and water. With apartments all utilities except the electric bill are generally included in the month’s rent.

Trash collection Curbside trash collection occurs once a week, and recycling collection occurs bi-weekly.

Check online at bloomington. in.gov for your specific pickup day.

Set your bins out the night before because collection crews start their shifts as early as 5 a.m.

Trash stickers are $2 per bin and must be attached each week for pickup. They can be purchased at all Kroger, Marsh and Bloomingfoods locations, as well as some Bloomington municipal buildings.

If it finds an issue with your trash or recycling, the Sanitation

Imagine this: Prince charming sweeping you off your feet and running away with you into a radiant sunset, living happily ever after.

Now as wonderful as that scene might be, let’s flash back to reality and realize that sadly, the chances of Cinderella’s Prince or the Little Mermaid’s Eric coming to sweep us off our feet are — unfortunately — slim.

As much as we encourage you to shoot for the moon when thinking of your prince charming, there are many other eligible bachelors roaming about this very campus.

Ladies, these men need our help to learn how to create the perfect romance.

It is our job to teach them how to show their love, and what better way than through the perfect date?

However, if cooking isn’t your forte and you want to take her out on the town, look up some festivals in the area; you are sure to find a variety of great music, food and entertainment.

Lastly, who wouldn’t love to attend one of our very own Cyclone football games?

Take your lovely lady to the University Book Store to get some Cyclone apparel and enjoy an exciting game at Jack Trice Stadium.

Well, there you have it ladies and gents, a few simple ideas you can take into consideration the next time you ask that lucky guy or gal out.

Guys — who knows, you might be her very own version of prince charming.

So, what exactly do we consider to actually be “The Perfect Date”?

Aside from the cliches such as walking along the beach as the sun sets or sharing cotton candy as you ride on the Ferris wheel, some of the most popular responses I received were the following: homemade dinners taking a day trip with an unknown destination attending a sporting event

5 IOWA STATE DAILY FALL 2012

Now, all of these ideas do not have to be exactly what was just said.

In fact, we encourage you to add your own unique twist to it that will make it a much more memorable experience for both of you.

Now gentlemen, if you feel that your inner chef happens to be the best way to win your woman’s heart, then head over to a local grocery store and grab some ingredients that will win her over in one bite.

NIGHTLIFE FOR THE NONDRINKER:

FUN AND GAMES IN AMES

by ASHLEY HUNT / Daily staff writer

FALL 2012

IOWA STATE DAILY

Often when we think night life,

we think of going out to a house party or the bars and having a few drinks. Ames has so much more to offer than just going out and getting intoxicated.

So, if you’re underage or just don’t like to drink alcohol, don’t worry about getting bored.

Ames and Iowa State have plenty of fun and games for you to participate in — sober. Iowa State offers ISU AfterDark and West Ames has Perfect Games.

ISU AfterDark is a program offered the last Friday of every month in the Memorial Union, specifically as an alternative to drinking.

The event happens three times each semester and is completely free to Iowa State students. Each AfterDark event is substance free, meaning no alcohol or any illegal drugs are allowed at the event.

“It’s really promoted as an act to do besides going to the bars,” said Chelsea Meyers, bingo director for ISU AfterDark.

ISU AfterDark hosts a large

variety of events. Comedians often serve as the main entertainment. Earlier in the semester, College Humor Live headlined the event, and there was a line to get in going straight out the Memorial Union and around the side of the building.

“We also have bingo at every event,” Meyers said. “There is $1,000 worth of prizes. It’s a free event so when you come to play, chances are you’re going to be winning things.”

Prizes range from toasters to food to ISU theme gifts, such as a Cyclone quilt.

There are also grand prizes “If you’re underage or just don’t like to drink alcohol, don’t worry about getting bored.”

offered, such as an iPad. In addition to these events, smaller things go on throughout the night as well. There are craft tables and photo booths

at the events, so there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Another important thing for students to consider when deciding whether to attend the event is the fact that there is free food. Who doesn’t appreciate a free meal?

In the past, ISU AfterDark has had catering from Panda Express as well as from ISU Dining.

Meyers stressed that ISU AfterDark is a great way to socialize and meet other people.

During her time working with the organization, she said she hasn’t just seen freshmen attend. There is a wide range of attendees, ranging from freshmen to super seniors.

Another option for students wishing to stay away from Campustown and all of its bars is Perfect Games, located in West Ames next to the Hilton Garden Inn. Perfect Games houses fun activities for people of all ages. With 24 lanes of state-of-the-art bowling, a twostory laser tag arena and a huge

arcade, there’s no chance of being bored, even for a second.

For college students, bowling seems to be the most popular.

Of course, the arcade and laser tag arenas are both big hits with students as well.

“With 24 lanes of state-of-theart-bowling, a two-story laser tag arena and a huge arcade, there’s no chance of being bored, even for a second.”

Daily specials indicate which area of the building will see the most popularity. A Wednesday night offers students a deal on bowling, which means more lanes will be filled. And on Thursdays, when laser tag games are cheaper, the laser tag arena is bound to be a bit fuller than usual.

“What makes us unique is that you don’t typically go to a bowling alley where you get full services,” said Jean Kamp, administrative assistant

Whether you’re in for a fun night of bowling or an athletic game of laser tag, Perfect Games serves as a fun — actually a really fun — alternative to going to the bars.

So you underagers — don’t risk a ticket — go ahead and find fun in a legal way, whether that’s right here on campus for ISU AfterDark, or a quick bus ride away to Perfect Games.

NIGHTLIFE FOR THE NONDRINKER:

THE AMES MUSIC SCENE

FALL 2012

We’ve heard it a million times.

You don’t have to drink to have fun. Our parents have said it.

Our grandparents have said it.

Our teachers have said it. Now I’m going to say it too.

Ames has more than enough options for the nondrinking ISU students. Ames has a great local music scene for students of all tastes and preferences to enjoy.

Some of Ames’ most popular venues for live music include the Maintenance Shop, Zeke’s and Stephens Auditorium.

The M-Shop, located in the Memorial Union, is Ames’ longest running night club.

Starting in 1974, the M-Shop has been providing the ISU students and Ames citizens with thousands of opportunities to listen to live music.

Each week, the Maintenance Shop has acts lined up for nearly every night. Whether it’s a local band, a big name band or a comedy act, students can find cheap — or even free — entertainment right here on

campus.

Tickets for concerts at the M-Shop run from about $5 to $15 for ISU students.

Nonstudents can get tickets for a slightly higher price.

The M-Shop hosts approximately 30 musical acts each semester. Usually, there are three bands or artists in the lineup per week.

Comedy shows are also popular at the M-Shop but are more sporadic in frequency.

If you haven’t been to

a show at the M-Shop yet, put it on your to do list. A fun night club atmosphere right in our very own Memorial Union makes for an unforgettable experience. The M-Shop’s lineup has included countless local bands in the past, but there are

some bigger names that have been there as well.

More recently, The Lumineers and The Civil Wars have played at the M-Shop.

Also, in the past — years and years ago — some even more famous acts have played including Jack Johnson and Smashing Pumpkins.

Jordan Garvey, the co-director of the M-Shop, is in charge of booking shows at the shop, running the shows

and taking care of the bands that play at the venue.

Garvey said he and the committee work hard to get bands that are maybe not quite famous yet, but have the likelihood of making it big later on. That way, students can say they’ve seen that particular band play right here in Ames and right here on Iowa State’s campus.

“Ames has more than enough options for the non-drinking ISU students.”

“There is a pretty big local music scene [in Ames] and we try to get them into the M-Shop as often as possible so everyone can help support them,” Garvey said.

Zeke’s concert venue, located on Lincoln Way, is also known for its live music selections.

Zeke’s, a non-profit run solely by volunteers, seats approximately 325 people. Besides concerts featuring nationally known bands, Zeke’s houses art shows, wedding receptions and club meetings as well.

There are also many concert opportunities at Stephens Auditorium. Tickets for these concerts are typically a bit pricier, but give you a variety of music styles. From symphonies and orchestras to hip hop and country, Stephens holds something for every music lover.

So whether you’re looking for a new band or to come support your favorite local artists, the Maintenance Shop has the right atmosphere and the right location to do that.

“We have shows on a lot of nights,” Garvey said. “So whenever there’s not much to do [elsewhere in Ames] there is almost always something to do at the M-Shop.”

HOW TO HAVE FUN

BEING THE DD

by KELSEY ROEHRICH / Daily staff writer Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. Designated

drivers: If you’re drinking, you’ll need one.

When asked to be the designated driver students might dread the idea of having to be sober for one whole night, but these ISU students say it is possible to still have a great night and be safe at the same time.

“I get drunk off of everyone else’s drunkenness, but the difference is I can sober up before I get in a car,” said Gina Sapienza, sophomore in prebusiness.

Sapienza said she chooses not to drink on weekends, and she still finds ways to have a great time going out to parties with her friends that are drinking.

“Don’t take life too seriously,” she said, “because you are

going to get pissed off by some drunk people.”

Sapienza said it does get annoying, however, when people say they respect the fact she doesn’t drink and then five minutes later are trying to get her to drink.

“We don’t judge people who drink at all,” said Jaime Freiburger, sophomore in kinesiology and nutrition.

Sapienza and Freiburger both said they feel their decision not to drink shouldn’t affect anyone else.

It is a personal life choice, and everyone has the right to their own choices, without judgment.

“I’m a people pleaser,” Freiburger said. “Part of having a good time, for me, is making sure that everyone else is having a good time.”

Freiburger said she actually

likes taking care of people and driving them home or to go and get food.

“A bunch of drunk people at Perkins can be pretty entertaining,” Freiburger said.

The car ride itself doesn’t have to be a bore either.

Sapienza suggests always having some good CDs in the car — music can make any road trip exciting.

“Part of having a good time, for me, is making sure that everyone else is having a good time.”

Sapienza said she usually prefers some ‘90s and country tunes to add excitement to the car ride.

“Make sure it’s not your car,” Sapienza said, “because people are going to be puking everywhere, and you are not going to want to clean that up.”

Other than driving around and jamming out, there are also things you can do while physically at a party to ensure

you have a good time among all the other drunk party-goers.

“Water is a life saver,” Sapienza said.

You can play flippy cup with water, take shots of water, do elbow waters and play beer pong with water, Sapienza said.

Any alcohol can be replaced with water — or any other nonalcoholic beverage — so you don’t have to sit out of the fun drinking game everyone else is playing.

“You’re going to have to get yourself some cappuccinos,” Sapienza said. “I prefer french vanilla.”

Coffee keeps you awake and hypes you up so you can keep up with everybody else, Sapienza said.

“It’s easy to meet new people because the ice is already broken,” Freiburger said.

Freiburger said it is so much fun to meet people and make new friends on weekends, because everyone is in such a good mood.

“Let loose at parties but be serious in the car,” Sapienza

said. “It’s a big job: People trust you with their lives.”

There are also a few added bonuses to being the designated driver during weekends.

Most importantly you can avoid looking like a “hot mess” and you know you will be safe from any bad or embarrassing photos of you wasted at that party last weekend getting posted on the Internet, Freiburger said.

Also — just imagine — a Saturday morning with no hangover.

“I just cannot afford to get hangovers,” Freiburger said. “I don’t have the time.”

A student’s main focus should be on doing well in school, and being the DD is a way to ensure you can have fun and still get up in the morning ready to work.

“I should start charging people,” Sapienza said.

A DD can make money, and people are drunk so they actually are willing to pay you, she said.

“I have a rule that everyone in the car has to buy me something from McDonald’s,” Freiburger said.

“I just cannot afford to get hangovers,” Freiburger said.

“I don’t have the time.”

It can be a fun time, as well very rewarding, to be the DD for the night.

Next time it’s up for debate on who has to do the “chore” of being DD, you might want to reconsider your answer and change that “no” to a big fat “yes.”

As much as we hate to admit

it, summer is over, and it is time for fall. With each season comes a change in our go-to fashion trends.

Big trends for women this fall are red lips, blues and earthy tones, military jackets, sparkling trousers, leather, Peplums, padded hips, and fur accents.

For men, there are earthtoned colors, beards, leather pants, all-over prints, highwaisted pants, velvet and fur.

Now the question is how do you incorporate these trends into your going out attire? Here are a few suggestions to get your fall wardrobe up to date.

Let’s start with the ladies.

Fall has begun and before long it will be winter. So the age-old question of how to stay warm and look cute at the same time is back into play. This fall, the answer is fur accents.

You can still wear your tight

skirts and sheer shirts, but add a jacket with some fur on it for extra warmth and a little bit of edge.

If fur just isn’t your thing, you can always add a military jacket to your outfit for a little bit rougher look that will keep you warm in the colder weather.

“This season’s royal blue will look perfect with a black body-con skirt.”

One of this fall’s favorite trends is the sparkling trouser — which you’ll find to be sheer

with shorts underneath.

One way to bring this style from runway to Lincoln Way is by wearing a cute but casual V-neck shirt to tone down the pants a little, while still keeping a modern and edgy look.

The next big trend on the list is the oh-so-coveted peplum style. This season, emphasis on the hips is huge: From padded hips to structured hips to peplums themselves, you won’t see anything else more, well, hip.

The problem is that this is a tough look to pull of in general, and it is by far the hardest to incorporate into your nightlife attire.

With this trend being so far out there, the best thing to do is start small. Go for a tight skirt with a peplum at the top.

And then once you get that look down and feel comfortable, start trying out looks with

padded hips.

Leather is another big trend this season.

For men, it’s leather pants.

For ladies its leather everything.

The all-leather look is definitely in this fall, but if that’s not for you, try a leather bustier underneath a sheer button up top for a fun, but flirty, look.

There is the so-called fashion rule that says you can’t wear blue and black together.

However, this season’s royal blue will look perfect with a black body-con skirt. Turquoise will play into the nightlife perfectly: You might even wear it with those sparkly trousers we talked about earlier.

Earth tones are always in for fall, just make sure you choose rich shades that don’t wash you out.

Last but not least are those sexy, red lips.

Guys: When you want to class things up a little bit, try throwing on a velvet blazer or overcoat.

High-waisted pants and all-over prints may be a little obnoxious for the nightlife scene, but don’t let that stop you from trying those looks out during the day. Leather pants, however, are perfect for night time. [PHOTO] KELSEY KREMER

FALL 2012

by KORRIE BYSTED / Daily staff writer We all know we can walk into any bar in jeans and a nice shirt and not be criticized too much for what we’re wearing.

But what is it that makes it acceptable for most bars but then in some you feel like you

need to dress up a little more?

Well, here in Ames, we have quite a few bars, and I’m sure many of you know each of them pulls in a different crowd.

While it is definitely possible to wear the same thing to Cafe

Mood and Outlaws, you might get some funny looks from some people.

Here’s a little guide to help you dress appropriately for each bar and to help avoid those funny looks.

Lets begin at Outlaws: A place known for their country music and cowboy boots.

In order to “fit in” with this crowd, you’re going to want to wear jeans. And ladies, the more rhinestones the better.

Now to go with your jeans I would suggest a flannel shirt for the fall/winter months and maybe just a nice T-shirt for when it’s a little warmer out.

Guys: don’t forget your hats.

Girls love guys who wear cowboy hats, but baseball caps are acceptable too.

Moorman Clothiers

. . . . .

“Girls love guys who wear cowboy hats but baseball caps are acceptable too.”

Now let’s move on to those good ol’ Irish and low key bars: Charlie Yokes, Paddy’s, and Mickey’s, just to name a few.

Here, to match your style to the typical crowd, stick with the jeans, but dress them up a little more with a dressy top and some cute flats or heels.

Guys, try wearing a nicer pair of jeans with a nice shirt.

Next lets talk about Welch Ave. Station and Es Tas. The male crowd often times likes to show up in colored pants or khakis and a nice shirt.

Think stereotypical “preppy” style for these bars.

“Don’t worry too much about what you’re wearing and whether you’re going to “fit in” at your favorite bar.”

Moving on to the slightly dressier bars, Cy’s, Cafe Mood and Sips.

These places have more of a club atmosphere, so wear your high heels and dress up in a cute body-con skirt or dress and get ready to dance the night away.

Folks: Just remember that this is Ames.

So don’t worry too much about what you’re wearing and whether you’re going to “fit in” at your favorite bar.

You’ll honestly see just about everything anywhere.

Either way, just go out and enjoy the night.

bold oversized necklace can also take the bland outfit you wore all day to class to going-out material.

Make sure if you are to use a statement piece, to only wear one at a time. Many statement pieces at once can look busy and be overwhelming.

With these easy tips, you can easily take your look from a casual outfit to one fit for a night on the town.

For men it can be even more simple to take an outfit from day to night.

Just change into a denim with a darker wash: This makes your whole outfit look more put together and less casual.

Put on a button down shirt or a nice T-shirt.

Then add on a dab of cologne and maybe a little product in your hair, and you will be ready for a great night out to remember.

It is no secret that students are extremely busy. With meetings, class and homework, it seems there is never a free moment in the day.

There are just some nights when you do not have time to change your outfit before you go out with your friends. And luckily with these tips, you will not need to.

We are happy to offer some helpful hints to elevate your look from day time casual to the perfect look for a night on the town.

When trying to take a look from daytime to night, makeup is a great way to elevate your look.

Adding a bold lip or a smoky eye easily changes your look from casual daytime to a great night time look.

Adding heels is another simple way to give any outfit a more formal feel.

It is Friday night. You’re ready for a night out. We don’t know about you, but our first thought is always what to wear.

Whether you are going out with a couple of girlfriends or meeting up with the cute guy from your economics class, there are some definite “dos” and “don’ts” of downtown dress.

To wear:

Modesty is a good thing. Try a leather jacket with a flowing top and your best jeans.

THE DOS AND tank Wear your hair down, and you DON’TS OF FRIDAY certainly will turn a few heads.

but need to be chosen wisely. If you have to keep pulling the hem down, it’s too short. If you’d be upset if beer was spilled on it, then it is too expensive for the bars. Just be practical.

Not to wear:

Do not, under any circumstances, wear your Uggs. Correct us if we are wrong, but we are pretty sure there are not any snow drifts in Mickey’s.

To wear:

Pick one statement item. This one is very simple: If you are wearing dangling earrings, skip the necklace and vice versa.

If you have awesome purple pants, pair it with a neutral top.

If your outfit is too busy, people will not know where to look.

Not to wear:

Lose the ballerina bun. Unless your day job is an extra in Black Swan, ditch it. Letting your hair down is a much better look.

by Ashley Hunt / Daily staff writer

MAIN STREET MIGHT BE AN UNTAPPED RESOURCE FOR MANY ISU STUDENTS. IT’S NOT CLOSE TO CAMPUS LIKE CAMPUSTOWN AND WELCH AVENUE, BUT IT REALLY ISN’T TOO FAR EITHER. MAIN STREET NOT ONLY HAS SEVERAL BUSINESSES LINING THE SIDEWALKS, BUT IT’S HISTORIC AND BEAUTIFUL TOO.

LET’S SAY YOU’RE GOING TO SPEND A DAY ON MAIN STREET. HOW WOULD YOU DO IT? HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF A FULL DAY IN AMES’ MOST HISTORICAL AREA.

MORNING Start out your day by checking out one of the cafes on Main.

There are plenty to choose from, including Cafe Diem and the Vinyl Cafe.

Cafe Diem opens each and every day at 7 a.m. for you early risers. Enjoy a cup of coffee, a latte or a mocha while sitting down in a booth or on a couch. You can also enjoy free high speed Wi-Fi while sipping on your cup of joe.

If you’re looking for something a bit edgier, just off of Main Street is the Vinyl Cafe. Although technically not on Main, it’s less than a block away and worth the quick walk from Main Street.

The Vinyl Cafe is also open most days at 7 a.m., besides

Saturdays when it opens at 8 a.m. and Sundays, when it is not open.

Visiting the Vinyl Cafe will give you a completely unique experience unlike anything else you will get in Ames.

While sipping on your favorite coffee or espresso drink, you can browse the extensive record selection and purchase whichever one catches your eye. Also unique to the Vinyl Cafe is the display of local art and jewelry.

Customers can find jewelry made by local designers, clocks made from real records, record players and handbags for sale just inside the cafe. [ PHOTO] FILE

London Underground 212 Main St., Ames

A red telephone booth shipped from Boston adds an eclectic focal point for photos and romantic kisses.

Jess Clyde’s bar, London Underground, has been his passion since a trip overseas helped him realize what he wanted to do with his life - bring an English Pub to the city he loves.

The bar is clean, the bartenders intelligent and the conversation stimulating. The warm wooded interior, red phone booth, and signature banners provide London Underground with a feel of English authenticity. A great selection of import beer and mid to high range liquor keeps a steady stream of loyal customers coming in all week. For those seeking entertainment, the bar is known for its heated foosball matches, pinball machines and sizeable jukebox selection. And yet, the bar’s strongest asset may be the eclectic mix of patrons and lively conversations the bar attracts.

London Underground carries over 75 import and craft beers, with a rotating selection, and a “Beer of the Month.”

23 IOWA STATE DAILY FALL 2012

London Underground originally opened without a sign and quickly drew in a crowd as unique as its black facade and bright red door. Clyde, an Ames native, wanted to bring people from all walks of life together in the spirit of a true tavern. He intentionally left televisions out of the pub with the idea that conversations and one-of-a-kind-experiences would be facilitated with fewer distractions. “A bar is only as good as the people that come to it,” Clyde said.

Assuming that is true, London Underground is a stimulating English drinking establishment for people of all walks of life. Cheers!

The foosball & pinball tables at London Underground are some of the highest grossing in Ames.

After enjoying your morning coffee, head on over to the Grove Cafe for a one-of-a-kind breakfast.

Grove Cafe, known for their delicious pancakes, has been voted the “Best Kept Local Secret” award for Story County by the Ames Tribune for three years — 2009, 2010 and 2011.

It was also voted “Best Breakfast” by the Tribune in 2011 and received the Daily’s Student Choice Award for “The Best Place to get Breakfast” in 2012.

Perhaps the Grove Cafe’s greatest claim to fame is its feature in Food Network Magazine in the July/August 2010 edition. It was voted best breakfast in the state of Iowa in Food Network Magazine’s article titled “50 States, 50 Breakfasts.”

Owner Larry Goodale is loved among customers.

Customers really get the chance to meet and know Goodale as they get the opportunity to watch Goodale cook their food right in front of them.

and not feel bloated at the same time?

Instead of a sugary margarita or pina colada, which can be up to 500 calories, try sipping a rum and diet coke, which is 64 calories per ounce.

A tequila on the rocks with a splash of club soda or ginger ale would be another low calorie option with only 64 calories. Avoid syrups to liven up your tequila drink. They can be loaded with calories.

Instead add a slice of lime for a refreshing flavor.

Interested in a healthy alternative to your standard beer? A good choice is a shandy or Michelada.

To make your own shandy, add one part lemon-flavored seltzer to two parts beer, adding a squirt of lemon.

The Michelada is a beer cocktail that originated in Mexico.

Start by placing lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce, to taste, into a pint glass. Add ice, pour a lager of Mexican beer on top and sip slowly.

If you’re looking for a nonalcoholic drink, mulled cider or spiced apple juice seasoning packets are sold in your local grocery store.

Try adding a few cinnamon sticks to a gallon of cider or apple juice, stir in the flavoring, and heat in a crock pot: The perfect beverage for a cool autumn day.

Remember to always drink responsibly, even when staying in for the night.

at night, you might as well do it right. After being out and about, possibly drinking some alcohol, socializing with friends and walking around, you may work up an appetite.

Although you may be tempted to indulge in some Jeff’s Pizza or a Super Dog, you could spare yourself a little money and go for a few healthier options that will prevent that hangover before it even happens.

First and foremost, water is the best option after a night out.

It really is the most important thing for your body.

Before tending to those hunger pains, drink some water or a noncarbonated, non-caffeinated sports drink to rehydrate your body.

The sports drinks will give you electrolytes and replenish your sodium levels. Since alcohol is a diuretic, you will end up depleting your body’s potassium and magnesium levels. Sports

drinks, along with bananas, work great to bring these levels back up in order to fight the negative effects of alcohol.

Fruits and fiber-filled foods are great options for an end-ofthe-night snack.

The fruits will provide your body with vitamins B and C, helping to combat any nutrient loss.

First and foremost, water is the best option and after a long night out.

When drinking and burning off those calories on the dance floor, it’s important to repair your worn out body with amino acids to keep up your stamina.

You will find amino acids in proteins such as nuts, cheese and eggs. Since yeast doesn’t mix well with alcohol, it’s a good idea to not overindulge in the carbohydrates as a late night treat.

Some healthy and satisfying combinations are trail mix, an apple or banana with peanut butter, a few crackers and cheese or — if you’re able to run a stove — scrambled eggs.

Make it a night she’ll never forget!

THE STORY BEHIND YOUR

by KELSEY ROEHRICH / Daily staff writer

FALL 2012

IOWA STATE DAILY

30

It’s 2 o’clock in the morning

on a Saturday, and pretty much everyone is thinking about the same thing: food.

Students storm down the street in a drunken haze ready to get that late night snack.

Awaiting this craze are all of the employees working on Welch Avenue each night.

“It is pretty entertaining at the beginning of the night,” said Brie Morreale, sophomore in animal ecology and employee at Jimmy John’s.

When people are drunk, they will yell a lot and forget their sandwiches and pretty much blame you for everything, Morreale said. They will watch the employees make their sandwiches and try to get them to give them extras and free things.

“Time goes by faster when you have that adrenaline rush,” Morreale. “It becomes almost second nature as the night goes on.”

Morreale said she has seen fights in the door of Jimmy John’s where people have fought police officers, as well as people walking into the store smoking cigarettes.

“One guy passed out in a booth with a mouthful of pizza and when I tried to tell him to go home he said: ‘I am home,’

and started to munch on the table,” said Meredith Witcher, junior in special education and employee of Jeff’s Pizza.

People have passed out on tables and in the bathroom and have knocked over the pizza slice box, Witcher said.

Jeff Weig, assistant manager of Jeff’s Pizza, said about 80 percent of customers that come in on a normal night are drunk.

“Most people come out looking for a good time, if you’re having fun with them its not so bad.”

“On football game [days,] pretty much everyone is drunk,” Weig said.

He also said that on a weekend night all of the employees can make up to $75 in tips.

“The good thing is when people are drunk, they don’t pay attention to what they are signing,” Witcher said. “I have gotten a $17 tip before.”

During the night, employees play games with the drunk people to keep themselves entertained, Witcher said.

Jeff’s Pizza has what they

like to call “the sausage dance,” and if a customer does the dance, they will get a discount.

“Most people come out looking for a good time. If you’re having fun with them, it’s not so bad,” said Vincent Geerts, employee of Super Dog. It takes a strong will to work at the Super Dog stand, and the job can be very mentally rigorous when you have people constantly yelling at you, Geerts said.

“You have to know how to deal with people who aren’t in their right mind and deal with them in the nicest way possible,” Geerts said.

Dan Albright, Super Dog employee, said unless temperatures are fewer than 6 degrees or the weather seems threatening, Super Dog will be on Welch.

“Thursday nights are the worst because of mug night,” Geerts said.

With countless intoxicated customers lining up to get their late night Super Dog fix, there are bound to be some interesting experiences.

Albright said one night a man tried to pay for his Super Dog using a Sam’s Club card.

“I said: “Sir, we don’t take Sam’s Club cards; you might want to try that at Sam’s Club.”

The man proceeded to try the card at Jimmy John’s and the gyro stand about three times.

After being turned down multiple times, he tried taking cash out at the ATM using the Sam’s Club card.

It is safe to say that he was unsuccessful, Albright said.

Geerts and Albright said they have had instances where they needed to call people cabs or call the cops because somebody is in a dangerous situation.

Geerts said: “People can be unreasonable, but you just serve them with a smile.”

Spring Break

An ideal location TREVOR ZAKOV Staff Writer

Spring Break is, by far, the best respite incorporated into the academic calendar.

We are lucky to study and reside in a place that most in the world view as the ideal Spring Break getaway spot. As a result, it proves to be quite challenging to suggest alternative settings for a week of relaxation.

The stereotypes associated with Spring Break continue to manifest year after year. Presumably, the most renowned stories are those that incorporate the words “Las Vegas.â€? Needless to say, the juxtaposition of most universities’ Spring Break schedules alongside the NCA A’s March Madness Tournament only adds fuel to the ďŹ re for this sophomoric annual tradition.

Nonetheless, there are downsides to a Spring Break in Vegas: First, both traveling to Las Vegas and entertaining yourself there

are problematic on a college budget. Second, if you are not yet 21, the whole Vegas experience turns into one big “no can do.�

Another Spring Break alternative could be going skiing or snowboarding “out West.â€? On paper, this idea sounds fun, diverse and downright exotic – but the reality is something different. Those who want this must actually y at least 3,000 miles east to arrive in Salt Lake City or Denver. The expenses pile up upon arrival, between transportation costs, lodging, food and lift tickets at resorts. The ďŹ nal deal breaker is the rental or purchase of equipment and winter clothing that, upon completion of this vacation, have no use. And let’s not forget that after having lived in Hawai‘i so long, who would want to endure a week’s worth of wintry conditions? A trip like this is simply not worth all the effort involved.

One other suggestion would be to y to Bora Bora, American Samoa,

DFDL ERZOV ‡ VPRRWKLHV ‡ VDQGZLFKHV ‡ ZUDSV ‡ VRXSV ‡ VDODGV

Red Ginger

Fiji, or some other PaciďŹ c paradise.

But what are we doing in Hawai‘i, if not exploring the island chain? Thus, the Spring Break predicament turns out to have quite a simple solution: it was right in front of our eyes and under our feet the whole time.

Staying in Hawai‘i, either on O‘ahu or traveling to neighbor islands, is the best way to make use of the time allotted to us during the holiday. Spring Break is the perfect time to make plans with friends to go to the North Shore and camp during the week, or take advantage of seasonal surďŹ ng conditions. There is no better time to wean yourself off the training-wheel waves of WaikÄŤkÄŤ and onto bigger, better locales.

Spring Break is a unique time to reconnect and refresh. Traveling away from the islands might initially sound like the better adventure. But friendships and budget-friendly options are reason enough to make plans right here.

If you’re driving there, be sure to leave early, as parking fi lls up quickly.

Scuba diving is the best way to explore hidden treasures below the ocean’s surface. Reef Pirates Diving prides itself on having smaller scuba tours for a more personal scuba experience, as well as visiting some of the best underwater sites.

Beginner divers don’t have to be certified. Turtles, fish, white-tip sharks and spotted eagle rays are a few of the marine life you can expect to see.

Spring Break bucket list M AILE THOMAS Staff Writer

Midterms this time of the year mean two things: you’re probably walking around in

a zombie -like fashion due to the lack of sleep, and Spring Break is right around the corner. Here’s a list of some of the many things you can do during break to shake of f the midterm blues.

HIKING: If you’re feeling daring, the Kahekili-Manamana Loop Hike, which also goes by the names Death Ridge, Devil’s Horseshoe and Crouching Lion Death Plunge, may be just the thing for you. There are enough narrow pathways, with steep cliffs on either side of you to keep you entertained and scared out of your wits for a good five hours or so. This isn’t a hike for beginners – make sure to wear gripping shoes and comfortable clothes.

Spring Break A Spring Break for your budget CANDACE C HANG Associate Chief Copy Editor

This spring, junior David McCaskey and his friends Scott Cumming and Zack Acker will be traipsing through Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and South Korea on a nine-day journey. And they will be doing all this for just $1,900 a person. But not all of us have the planning abilities of these gentlemen – or the impressive budget to enjoy ourselves with. Don’t lose hope; here are three different types of Spring Breaks you can still have.

T H E S P L U RG E ($2,000 and less for traveling March 25 to 30) Bangkok, Thailand – On kayak.com, roundtrip airfare from Honolulu to Bangkok is $998. Four-star hotels are available for as low as $46/night, making the hotel budget $215 for the entire trip. Finally, food

is really cheap in Thailand, especially from the street vendors, so a measly 500 baht ($17) is the recommended daily budget.

Total estimated cost is roughly $1,300.

Manila, Philippines – Roundtrip airfare can be as low as $798. The fi ve-star Manila Grand Opera Hotel is listed at $38/ night, coming out to $186, including fees.

The cost of a meal ranges from $4 to $11, so the total estimated cost is roughly $1,200.

T H E MO D E R AT E S P E N D E R ($400 or less for the week, pick and choose events) Whale watching – The Star of Honolulu offers early morning whale watching for just $27 without breakfast.

Kualoa Ranch – This is the site of “Jurassic Park,” “50 First Dates” and “Godzilla.” With a valid Hawai‘i driver’s license, the movie sites tour is available for only $19.

Horseback riding begins at $59 for an hour.

MICHAEL JUSTA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Electric Beach, Hanauma Bay and Shark’s Cove are all well-known snorkeling spots on O’ahu.

THE PENNY PINCHER ($50 or less for the week) Snorkeling – Just pick a beach. You can boost this idea with a waterproof camera ($8.50) and create an underwater album.

ASUH offers graduate test prep awards and research grants.

Applications are available at our office.

Campus Center 211A 808-956-4822 ASUH@hawaii.edu asuh.hawaii.edu

Classes at the Leisure Center – Beginning March 22 and extending into April, the Leisure Center will be offering free classes on kundalini yoga, hula aerobics and zumba. Paid lessons for bodyboarding ($15), kayaking ($25) and introductory sailing ($20) are also available.

Throw a Spring Break rager WILL CARON Editor in Chief Throwing a party in the dorms requires some additional considerations due to student housing regulations and guidelines. Some of those may limit your options, but it is still possible, and even easy, to throw a successful party in the dorms over break.

PLANNING rules and guidelines Student Housing publishes a rules and guidelines book that is also available online. Familiarizing yourself with these rules is an essential part of planning your party.

It is imperative that you know what you are allowed to do, what is against the rules and what your rights are.

Knowledge is power, especially if you end up needing to speak to the authorities during your party.

COURTESY OF LAUREN TSUGAWA

The UHM Student Conduct Code is available at http://www.studentaffairs. manoa.hawaii.edu/policies/conduct_code/. A PDF can also be downloaded here.

Location Decide where your party will take place. This year, all resident halls are technically “wet” (other than the freshman towers), but all residents and guests at your party must be 21 or older if alcohol is to be present.

and neighbors factor. If your roommates are staying for break, clear the party with them first. Parties run much more smoothly when all the residents of the venue are on the same page about what is supposed to happen. Let your neighbors know that you’ll be throwing a party. As long as it’s during regular hours, you’re allowed to have guests over, but parties usually extend into quiet hours, and being courteous to your neighbors may mean the difference between noise complaints and a funfilled evening.

Roommates and neighbors An often-overlooked aspect of planning a party is the roommates

Invitations Make and send out your invitation list. It’s been my experience that

only half the people you invite will show up, so decide how many people will fit comfortably in your dorm and plan to invite almost double that.

Give them enough time to respond, and if you want to theme your party, make sure your guests have enough time to plan for that as well. Using Facebook is by far the easiest and most effective way to get college students to show up anywhere, and you can also use Facebook to include other information your guests might need to know, like the time and address of the party and whether or not they need to bring anything (booze/food/attire).

SETUP

Food If there’s food that needs to get cooked, do your shopping before the day of the party. Start early on any dishes that can be frozen or refrigerated.

Cancel at any time by replying “Stop” back to any text.

WILL CARON / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The International Gateway dorm, though currently under renovation, is a good location for mellow get-togethers with a few friends and a great view.

Clean up your dorm No one wants to hang out in a mess. Make sure there are plenty of seats available and that floor space is clear for mingling. An important part of this is also securing personal belongings.Anything fragile should be placed in a safe place, valuables should be locked up or hidden and electronics should be secured from potential liquid-related accidents.

Spring Break HOSTING Set the mood It’s your party, you set the tone for the night. Be relaxed and amiable. Make sure you talk to everyone and do your best to mingle and check up on people, especially if your party is raging in multiple rooms.

Regulating Monitoring who is coming in and out of your dorm and who is getting sloppy is crucial. The most common causes of both party drama and party busting are unwelcome guests (randoms) or

out-of-control guests (sloppies). Being overly confrontational won’t help when dealing with randoms, especially if he or she just wandered in to check it out or thought the party was open to anyone. Most people like this will leave quietly if you ask them to.

Sloppies can jeopardize your party just as easily as randoms. Start out polite; try to ďŹ nd whomever they came with and have that person take their too-drunk friends home. If a sloppy is your friend, arrange a ride for him or her. Be warned though: some sloppies, when asked to leave, will become belligerent. At this point, it may be time to just throw them out.

FU N PAR T Y I DE A S Tacos and Coronas night

Toga party

Coronas aren’t the cheapest beer, but sometimes Longs puts six packs on sale for $7, and tacos are one of the cheapest and easiest dishes to make for a lot of people. Whatever meat you want can generally be cooked right before the arrival of guests – who can then construct their tacos themselves, leaving less work for you. If you’ve got a lot of guests coming, you can reasonably ask for $3 for two of either. When I threw this party last semester, there were only 12 guests, so I charged $10 per guest for a guarantee of two tacos and two Coronas plus leftovers.

Friends, Romans and party people, there is perhaps no more quintessential form of bacchanalia than the ancient tradition of tying bedsheets around yourself and parading around like a drunken fool.

Though it’s not good wine, consider replacing the traditional beer pong game with a rousing round of Franzia pong. Franzia usually comes in 5-liter boxes and averages a paltry $11 at most stores, making it excellent for dorm parties of the Roman variety.

Frat night Whether you love ’em or hate ’em, you have to admit – frat boys think of some great ways to get wasted. This idea will be difficult without multiple rooms and a kitchen, but is still doable.

My favorite set-up is to have one dorm room set up with a beer pong table and a lot of floor towels. Remember that water can be substituted for beer to make for an easier cleanup. In the other room, set up a card table for people to play king's cup, taxi, up and down the river, pyramid or whatever your favorite fratty card game is.

Jungle juice recipe (serves 20-30) Get a large cooler or plastic tub and fill it with two large packs of ice.

Over the ice, pour a 30 rack of Bud Light (or another light beer without too much flavor – you really just want the beer for its fizziness anyway), two handles (3.5 liters total) of unflavored vodka (don’t go cheaper than Smirnoff, or the vodka might not get covered up as well), and 6 gallons of guava juice, passionorange-guava juice, orange juice or some combination of the three.

The result should be a giant tub of fizzy juice-flavored drink that will seriously get you hammered.

Spring Break staycationing

JAIMIE K IM Managing Editor Spring Break is only a week, which for many people means an off-island trip is out of the question.

Planning a staycation is an affordable way to ensure that you and your significant other take advantage of the quality time that Spring Break allows. Below are some tips to ease the stress of planning a mini-trip to Waikīkī, just a few miles from campus.

D E C I D I N G T H E L E N G T H O F YO U R S TAY Discuss with your partner the length of your stay. For some couples, one night is enough, while others would rather spend a little more for a few days which will definitely allow for quality time and hours that can be spent playing tourist.

BOOKING THE HOTEL Instead of booking your room directly through the hotel, scour the Internet for a good deal that won’t have you cringing when you hand over your credit card at check-in. Use sites like kayak.com to compare costs on a variety of different booking sites. If you’re a resident, be sure to call the hotel for their kama‘āina rates; sometimes these are cheaper than those online.

GETTING THERE It’s a staycation, so taking your car is not a necessity. Don’t find yourself forking over extra money for overnight parking fees; instead, ask a friend or family member to drop you off and pick you up. Remember to gift him or her with some little local gem.

www.hawaiistudentsuites.com JAIMIE KIM/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

TheBus is also an affordable (free to students with validated IDs) mode of transportation, with many stops located directly outside of major hotels.

FOOD Staying at a hotel for a couple of nights means you won’t be able to rely on mom for dinner. Since you’ll probably be spending the bulk of your money on ensuring your stomach isn’t growling in the middle of the night, budgeting properly is a must. Many dining options in Waikīkī can be on the pricier side.

Utilize popular apps like Yelp to your advantage so that you know you are getting your money’s worth.

B R I N G YO U R OW N B O OZ E For those of you who are of age and planning on doing some late-night wine tasting, be sure to pack your own bottles. Alcohol at the convenience stores located throughout Waikīkī is generally a few dollars more than what you can find at markets closer to your house. Just don’t forget to pack a bottle opener.

W H AT T O D O, W H AT T O D O In an area like Waikīkī, it is completely possible to fi nd something to do at all hours of the day. Aside from the multitude of stores, there are also free art galleries open to the public located in some of the malls, a zoo and aquarium within walking distance and a shooting range for the more adventurous. For some free late-night entertainment, walk the strip and catch one of the many street performances. Don’t forget the beach is right down the road – and most hotels provide towels for those who use their pools and hot tubs.

The Campus Center construction woes got you down?

Read on to see what all the fuss is about.

Why do we need the Renovation & Expansion?

Campus Center is over 30 years old and has not gone through major renovations to replace equipment and repair the building: • To create access to recreational facilities and programming on upper campus • To meet the demand for more study spaces and areas to gather • To upgrade technology, equipment, energy-efficient lighting systems, etc.

• To meet student demand for a better student union • To create a community where student organizations can network and partner together to meet student needs

What do we get out of this Campus Center Renovation & Expansion Project?

Convenient access to recreational facilities with extended evening and weekend hours: • Showers and lockers • Weight training and cardio equipment • Multi-purpose gyms and studios • Multi-sport gyms for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and indoor soccer

• Brand new areas for more programming (e.g. concerts, performances, intramural sports) • Late-Night café & juice bar • More study areas and lounges • Greater variety of food choices • New and improved facilities (e.g. computer labs, bathrooms, meeting rooms, etc.)

When will the Recreational Center be built and how long will it take?

Construction began at the end of summer 2010 and will last for about 24 months.

How is the Recreational Center being financed?

The financing of the Rec Center is coming from a combination of Capital Improvement Monies from the state and revenue bonds financed through student activity fees.

Will I have to pay to use the Recreational Center?

If you are a University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa fee-paying student, your membership is inclusive of the Campus Center operations fee. Membership for others will be available.

Why build the Recreational Center when the economy is bad?

What will happen to the historic buildings at the Engineering Quad?

We are able to build the Rec Center because the funding source is separate from the university’s operating budget.

Th is project will actually help the economy by providing jobs. In addition, once the building is constructed, we anticipate more student employee positions.

Two of the Engineering Quad buildings will be preserved; the Ka Leo and Duplicating Services buildings. These buildings will be part of the Recreational Center and function as multipurpose rooms.

Will the Rec Center be a studentdriven center?

Like the Campus Center Board, a student organization that governs the Campus Center, the Recreational Center will also be governed by students.

How will the building of the Recreational Center affect the landscape?

As much of the existing, including historical, landscape as possible will be preserved. Trees and plants that can be preserved will remain and those that can be relocated will be relocated either on site or somewhere on campus. Unfortunately, the Ficus benjamina tree or Weeping Fig was in the center of the Recreational Center footprint and was too large to relocate. The Ficus benjamina has been propagated. The monkey pod tree at the Campus Center will be preserved.

Will the Recreational Center be a “green” building?

Sustainability is one of the priorities for this project. Such efforts that will be included in the building of the Rec Center are: • Use of storm water for irrigation • Use of natural ventilation • Maximizing natural lights • Use of four modes of air circulation: from natural air to air conditioning • Rooftops being prepared for green roofs • Use of energy-efficient light fi xtures and equipments • Use of light sensors and sprinklers with rain sensors • Upgrading and centralizing the HVac system • Use of tinted glass to prevent overheating

Techno-junkies burnt out on buzzing, beeping gadgets can wake up and smell the fresh Hawaiian air by camping at one of the 53 state parks that make up the Hawai‘i State Park system. Many people utilize the recreational camping areas to take a break from the stress of work or school and spend time with family or friends.

Keep in mind that certain reservation dates tend to fi ll quickly.

It’s wise to make reservations as soon as you know what date you’re planning on heading out into the

great outdoors. One of the beaches that tends to fi ll up quickly is Hāpuna Beach, frequently voted as one of the best beaches in America. If you are lucky enough to reserve a spot, the recreation area has A-frame shelters available for $30 per night for residents or $50 per night for nonresidents.

The 25,000 acres that make up the Hawai‘i State Park system have all that Hawai‘i can offer: scenic trails for hiking and turquoise ocean waters for swimming, wading and fishing. In addition to park descriptions and photographs, park rules and safety tips can be found on the website (www.hawaiistateparks.org/camp-

ing). The pages are short and only take a couple of minutes to review.

The safety tips are especially useful for those unfamiliar with Hawai‘i’s surf or terrain.

Prior to April 2010, the only way to obtain camping permits was inperson, calling on the telephone, or through a mail-in process. But the accessibility of the new e-reservation system really begs the question, “Well, why not?” You might just find that the technology-free environment alleviates the pressures of everyday life.

Spring Break Not all wanderers are lost: couch surfing your way around the world

“Creating a better world, one couch at a time” – that’s the motto of Casey Fenton’s brainchild CouchSurfi ng.org, a hospitality exchange and social networking site that allows individuals from around the world to connect with one another to share ideas, homes and adventures.

It began in 1999 when Fenton amassed 1,500 email addresses from the University of Iceland’s public student directory and sent messages to the Icelandic strangers asking if he could stay with them; within 24 hours Fenton had 100 invitations. “I knew it was how I wanted to travel … but I didn’t know if other people would. I thought, I’ll take a chance and see if there are other people like me. And, wow, do they exist.” Since then, CouchSurfing.org has grown to include nearly 4 million members in more than 200 countries and territories throughout the world.

ANTON GLAMB / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

SHERLEY WETHERHOLD Special Issues Editor

In Yelp-esque style, couch surfers have reference sections on their profi les where fellow couch surfers can vouch for or against them. Unlike most Facebookers and Yelpers, couch surfers halfway around the world that have never met you expect

to be contacted and hopefully meet in person. CouchSurfi ng.org also gives its members the option of setting a couch status — whether or not they can host you overnight, when they can host, for how long, and what their couches are like (sometimes a couch

isn’t a couch at all, but a blow-up mattress in the hall, a hammock in a treehouse or the keys to a boathouse on the French Riviera).

Here are a few t ips on how to get st ar ted and some things to keep in mind while couch sur f ing:

• Make an account.

CouchSurfi ng.org will walk you through the process and suggest different ways to fi ll out various parts of your profi le.

• Couch request with utmost care.

Read profi les thoroughly before you request a potential host. It’s helpful to write a personal message and identify things you share in common and things you would like to learn or could teach your host.

SHERLEY WETHERHOLD Special Issues Editor Think about the last time you felt like you wasted a long weekend or a break. Of course, for many, part of the college experience is wasting time in the company of good friends.

But if it is at all possible for a college student to be partied out or just want to try something new, there are plenty of ways to spend an enriching break giving back to the community.

Honolulu Habitat for Humanity has various building sites throughout O‘ahu, and its volunteers help “to directly bring the dream of a decent, affordable home to a family [in] need.” The cost of living in Hawai‘i is usually at least 30 percent higher than most places in the continental U.S., and figures suggest that it is on the rise. According to a survey conducted by the National Allegiance to End Homelessness in 2009, Hawai‘i’s overall homeless population per 10,000 people is the second highest in the U.S. One of the biggest problems residents of Hawai‘i face is the economic disparity between how much a family makes and how

much has to go toward h off that h h housing. In 2010, with a median monthly rent of $1,291 (as compared to the national average of $855), Hawai‘i was the nation’s most expensive state to lease a domicile in. The percentage of mortgaged homeowners in Hawai‘i that are expected to spend over 30 percent of their household incomes on owner costs is the second highest in the nation. This, combined with the higher costs of food and gas, means that there are many families on O‘ahu struggling to keep up.

Founded in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped build over 500,000 homes for 2.5 million people worldwide. If you would like to do some traveling, you can fi nd a complete list of sites and contacts around the world at www. habitat.org. Habitat for Humanity has various programs tailored to the interests and skills of its volunteers. Log on to www.honoluluhabitat.org or call 808-380-8616 to register yourself as a volunteer.

No prior experience is necessary, and your week’s worth of contributions could mean providing a family with the house it needs.

Spring Break

Have a studious Spring Break K ARLEANNE M AT THEWS Chief Copy Editor

The fantasy of Spring Break is a full nine days of lying in the sun and partying all night. But in realit y, many of us have major papers and projects that we’ll need to work on over the holiday. If this is your fate, here are five tips to make your studying as painless as possible:

1. M A K E A S C H E D U L E (A N D S T I C K T O I T )

List the tasks you need to get accomplished and break them down into one -hour chunks.

Then take the time to physica lly place these study blocks

on your calendar, whether it ’s paper, dr y-erase or digital.

Throughout the week, cross off tasks as you finish them, allowing you to track your progress and hold yourself accountable.

On the f lipside, make sure you schedule time to set your work aside and enjoy the vacation with your friends. nds.

2 . STAY OFF FAC E B O O K W H I L E YO U S T U DY Surfi ng Faceacebook durr i ng your study tudy time does more than waste precious moments that could be spent outside: Ever y time your friends post a beach photo or check in at a bar, you’ll be reminded that (seemingly) ever yone else is

having fun while you’re stuck at home. Instead of moping, focus on your work so you can go out and join them.

3. TA K E A DVA N TAG E O F U N E X P E C T E D D OW N T I M E While the bulk of your heavy research and paper pap writing will have to be d do ne in longer time blocks, done p pr o problem-based homework, m memorization and readi ing can often be done a f few minutes at a time. So w when your friend texts you that she’ll be 15 miny utes late picking you up, u use that time to read a chapter chapt or f lip through vocab notecards.

4. MAKE A S T U DY PAC T Agree with a friend to hold each other accountable to your studying calendars. Cre ate a reward system for yourselves, such as giving each other a $25 gift or treating yourselves to a fancy meal out if you both stick to your schedules. If you live with others who also need to do homework, consider hours” and setting house “quiet qu studying together. togethe

will leave w you feely ing like you didn’t y get a break at all when you stumy ble into class come Monday.

Instead, l M d leave the final weekend of Spring Break entirely study-free when you’re scheduling. You’ll show up to school on Monday relaxed, well-rested and full of good memories – and knowing you truly earned the holiday.

5. G I V E YO U R S E L F Y T I M E O F F AT THE END It ’s temptiing to leave all your homework y for the th final weekend of the break. But this

Consent is not the absence of a no, but the presence of a yes.

Ala Mo Moana oana Sho Shopping opping Center 1450 145 50 Ala Mo Moana oana Blvd.

In light of recent attacks, such as those that took place on Feb. 24 and March 10, it is important to address the topic of sexual consent. Because alcohol has been involved in both of the recent incidents, it is essential to include alcohol in this discussion. In some cases, such as those above, it is clear that the incidents were nonconsensual. But at times it can be more difficult to determine what constitutes consent.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa provides no easily accessible information defining consent. It does provide information on sexual harassment and sexual assault, but it has no an-

swer as to what consent is, how to obtain it or why it is important, as other universities do.

According to Washington State University’s website, “Consent can only be given when both parties have equal power in de termining the level of sexual intimacy that will/will not occur in a sexual relationship. …

Consent cannot truly be given if a person is incapacitated, asleep or unconscious.”

Similarly, Student Health Ser vices at Illinois State University informs students, “If someone is intoxicated they cannot legally consent to sex. Having sex with someone who is intoxicated is rape.”

But how many of us have had sex drunk? How do people begin to responsibly obtain sexual consent when they, the other person or both parties are drunk?

One approach is to tell individuals that they are responsible for their own safety. But simply telling women “don’t drink and don’t go out after dark if you are a female,” isn’t realistic or fair.

Brett Sokolow, an attorney featured in the documentar y “ The Line” (which addresses consent and the blurr y line that exists when alcohol is involved) discusses the way that alcohol use can be twisted to blame the victims of sexual assaults.

“If you have done anything that places you in a position of vulnerability, that makes you something less than a ‘perfect victim,’ you’re doomed … you’re not going to have a successful prosecution. If you drank, if you f lirted, if you had sex with someone before – I mean you literally have to have the profile of a perfect victim.”

Opinions@kaleo.org | Boaz Rosen Editor | Justin Francisco Associate

Page 15 | Ka Leo | Monday, March 19 2012

Spring Break A greater focus on education and communication is what is in order. Women need to know and be aware of potential risks involved in drinking and being out alone. I wish the world were safe enough that this weren’t the case, but it isn’t. We need to continue to inform young women of the necessary precautions. But also, men need to be educated about rape and sexual assault.

Ultimately, only those commiting the crimes can stop sexual assault.

Both sexes, listen to potential sexual partners. W hen it comes to consent, always ask when you’re unsure. Be verbal; say things such as “are you sure you want to do this?” or “I want you to feel comfortable.” W hatever he or she answers, always respect the other person’s decision. Attempting to persuade or coerce someone – especially if he or she is inebriated – is not only deceitful, but illegal.

Finally, UH must establish a definition and criteria for consent that is easily accessible to students.

We all want to have fun at school, and it ’s unrealistic to think that alcohol will never play a part in consensual sexual encounters. But we need to educate ourselves about consent and communicate with one another to ensure that sexual encounters are mutually understood and desired.

Immediately after a sexual assault: DO:

DONʼ T:

- Go somewhere safe, such as a close friend or family member’s house.

- Tell someone you trust what has hap pened. If you want, you can also speak to someone at a crisis center or hotline.

- Seek medical attention even if there are no visible injuries. You will need to be examined for any injuries, possible sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy.

- Call 911 if you wish to fi le a police report.

- Wash, bathe or douche, in order to preserve evidence. Don’t change or wash your clothes either.

- Change anything at the scene of the assault.

- Blame yourself. Your attacker is responsible for the assualt, not you.

- Be afraid to ask for help. Many organizations provide free, confidential services to victims.

TAYLOR MORRIS Staff Writer

Most students envision Spring Break as a week full of relaxing, partying, and beachgoing with no other commitments in the way. For many of us this fantasy will come true, but for athletes it is a very different story. Although academia is put on pause for one week, collegiate athletes retain their rigorous schedules. Athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;week offâ&#x20AC;? will consist of practicing, traveling and competing.

The idea of spending the

week without a care in the world is extremely unrealistic when you have to practice daily, spend six hours in mandatory study halls, play four games in a row and travel to the mainland to compete.

Wahine Softball catcher Kayla Wartner commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love softball, but sometimes it is nice to get away and just have time to myself. Either or â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind either [having the week off or not].â&#x20AC;?

Music is an expression of the human experience. So for Spring Break, whether you’re the type of person who will spend it studying, at the beach, working out or at a party, here are the beginnings of playlists for whichever scene you might find yourself in.

AT T H E B E AC H :

S E A S O N O F L OV E :

“The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars “Kokomo” by The Beach Boys “Dome epais” by Delibes, from “Lakme” “Zambezi on mbira” by Tinashe “Cool Down” by Kolohe Kai Finally, after a grueling first half of the semester, we have time to go back to the beach. Kolohe Kai’s song captures the sentiment: “School is pau, let’s go now and hele out the door.” This band knows what’s up. Have fun at the beach as the relaxed Jawaiian beats accentuate the pounding surf. And while you’re at it, you might as well jump in the water and “cool down” – because a week from now, and we’ll all have to be back in school again.

“The Man That Can’t Be Moved” by The Script “Drunk Off Your Love” by Shwayze and d Cisco “Glorybox” by Portishead “Falling” by Iration “Up” by Jason Mraz Got a little Spring Break romance going ing on? In thiss cute love song, Mraz brings back childhood images of joy and ties them in with the refreshing feelings of new love as his lyrics set an image of Willy Wonka’s elevator being buoyed “Up” by love. So, set the volume on low, take your loved one by the hand, and go for a bike ride or something. Get back to that old school sort of romance that’s become vintage these days by taking things slow and giving each other time.

PA R T Y I N G : “Technologic” by Daft Punk “Egyptic” by Beats Antique “She Doesn’t Mind” by Sean Paull “No. 5” by Hollywood Undead “Beer” by Reel Big Fish As my comrade put it, “Beer” epitomizes “The first beer of the day … the first song of the party.” Although not every party has to feature alcohol, beer remains the symbol of relaxation and casual get-togethers with friends. Singing about relationship troubles, the song is all about forgetting those things and just having a good time at a party. With midterms behind us, what better way to express the deep need to just relax with friends, some music and maybe a cold drink or two?

S T U DY I N G : “Empty Streets” by Late Night Alumni “Eat to Live” by Talib Kweli “Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini-Variation 18”

by Rachmaninov “The Truth” by Handsome Boy Modeling School “Teardrop” by Massive Attack

C A R C RU I S I N G :

“If I Could Do It Again” by Corey Smith “Photograph” by Nickelback “All Star” by Smash Mouth “Fly” by Sugar Ray “We Are Young” by Fun Made famous by a car commercial, Fun’s song is Spring 2012’s anthem for college kids. The catchy carpe diem tune has bittersweet lyrics, with reminders of our youth accompanied by the image of these fl aming years of our lives burning out. As a graduating senior, hell, as any young adult facing the world today, these words ring true. So this Spring Break, as you drive down Kamehameha Highway past the North Shore’s beaches, take the chance to do something spectacular. “Set the world on fi re” because tonight, “we can burn brighter than the sun.”

Fifteen years ago, three young surfers from San Diego formed a rock band called Chin Up that quickly became popular in the Christian rock market. Two brothers, Jon and Tim Foreman, and their friend Chad Butler changed the band name to Switchfoot – and by its third album, “Learning to Breathe,” expanded its audience to the mainstream scene. In 2000, keyboardist and guitarist Jerome Fontamillas joined the band to help shape Switchfoot into the alternative rock band it is today.

“I think the songs that we write are not just Christian,” said Fontamillas during a phone interview. “I feel like our songs are for everyone. They’re songs about life, and faith is a big part of it.” The band’s most successful song, “Dare You To Move,” reached number 17 on the Billboard music charts and received a gold record award in 2005.

Switchfoot’s newest album, “Vice Verses,” is its second album since it broke away from the Columbia record label to make music as an independent band. “It’s influenced our sound in a way that we’re freer to create and expand our creativity,” said Fontamillas. Filled with thought-provoking lyrics about media corruption and the purpose of life and humanity, the album has harsh guitars, psychedelic ambience and even some unexpected semi-rapping by Foreman. “It’s awesome,” Fontamillas laughed.

The album will be followed on May 1 with a remix album “Vice Re Verses,” featuring bands like Mute Math, Owl City and Darren King.

“We have a few friends who said, ‘Hey, we like that

song and we want to remix it,’” said Fontamillas. “It’s more electronic, more what you’ll see at a dance club.”

With eight albums since 1996, what keeps the band going? In response, Fontamillas spoke about last year’s Grammys, when Switchfoot received the award for Best Rock Gospel Album. “We were at the studio recording at the time for the album ‘Vice Verses,’ and we took a day off to go into LA,” he said. “It’s awesome that we got a Grammy, but at the end of the night, we were like, ‘I cannot wait to go back into the studio and record music.’”

For Fontamillas, this story defi nes why Switchfoot works cohesively as a band. “We have a common bond that we love to perform and create music.

We’ve been together for so long and we help each other.” Fontamillas was in Hawai‘i last year, and he hopes to go surfi ng again – a sport that he said helps bring the band members together.

Aside from catching waves, Fontamillas wants to bring his family and meet his friends on the island. He said, “We hope to bring a lot of energy and a ‘San Diego’ way of a rock concert.”
