GRAPHIC DESIGNER OF THE YEAR

January 23, 2013 Dear CNBAM Judges: I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Kim Patishnock for CNBAM’s Designer of the Year. As a matter of fact, I am writing this recommendation for Kim for the third year in a row. Got my fingers crossed that the old adage “third time’s a charm” will indeed come true.

Kim has worked as a graphic designer at Central Michigan Life for more than three years. What incredible luck to have a student with amazing talent for such a long period of time at a college newspaper. Most designers join us in their junior or senior year. Kim was one of those rare finds, and joined us at the beginning of her sophomore year at CMU. I was immediately struck with Kim’s abilities to not only create effective advertising for a broad spectrum of advertisers, but to do so under the pressure of daily deadlines and the demands of 15 advertising sales representatives. And always with an ear-to-ear smile and a big thumbs up. A signature trademark of hers.

One of the things that truly sets Kim apart from the many good designers we’ve had over the years is her sense of “team”. Kim has always approached her role here with the complete understanding of her responsibilities to the advertising department’s success. Kim is a true team player in every sense of the word. With a bonus structure of paying for spec ads created, it would be easy for Kim to simply crank out average, effortless designs. But she understands the investment the advertiser is making in Central Michigan Life. Kim also understands the credibility of our staff to produce designs the customer can not get elsewhere, and the longevity of the relationships we are trying to build with our local businesses. Kim never backs down from taking the time to design ads that go beyond the client’s expectations. She takes the time to find the right art, choose the right font, and present the right design.

And, if Kim can’t find the right art, she creates it. Kim is a phenomenal illustrator. The best we have ever had on staff. When one of our largest clients, Copper Beech Townhomes, was looking for a superhero theme for their apartment complex, Kim created five new characters for their ad series. When given the challenge of creating a mascot for our Best of Central Michigan product, she surpassed our expectations. Thinking out of the box, Kim merged photography with original, color illustrations to create a fun and memorable twist on Godzilla. By the way, our monsters have names like Fred and Red. This gives you a little insight into Kim’s sense of humor. Kim also has taken the time to create additional monsters for an additional 2-3 years, so CM LIFE can carry on the tradition of our Best of Central Michigan theme, well after Kim’s graduation from Central Michigan University.

Kim reminds all of us what in means to be passionate about what we do, and is a role-model to the entire staff when we talk about “bleeding” CM LIFE. She has helped us all understand the important role designers play in our advertising department’s success. It isn’t just about the best sales person, it is about the team.

It is for all these outstanding qualities, and more, I recommend Kim for this award.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Simon Assistant Director, Student Publications Central Michigan Life Central Michigan University

GRAPHIC DESIGNER OF THE YEAR January 23, 2013

CNBAM Selection Committee: I am so excited to recommend Kim Patishnock for Designer of the Year!

I’ve managed the design staff at Central Michigan Life for 12 years, and I’ll tell you in no uncertain terms – Kim is one of the most talented designers that we’ve had. As senior designer at Central Michigan Life, she embodies all of the best characteristics that a manager looks for.

Kim is professional, considerate, and a real team player. She is good natured and an excellent communicator and the sales staff loves to work with her. She is is able to quickly create solid designs, and always finds a little room for her signature “flair” for the unexpected and unique.

She is a great mentor – patient and happy to help teach new techniques to fellow designers. As a collaborator, she excels at helping find a creative solution to even the most unusual design task.

Kim is able to stay focused. Even with our fast-paced production schedule, she keeps the clients’ needs in the foreground, pays attention to detail and makes thoughtful recommendations. She gets the job done. She gets it done fast, and I guarantee you, it’ll be a job well done.

These characteristics alone make her exceptional and truly worthy of this nomination. However, it is her talent as an illustrator that takes her game to an entirely different level of playing field.

Whatever the need, no matter the style... from cute animations to fierce dragons, Kim creates custom illustrations on-the-fly. She can take you on a visual journey that exceeds expectation, and stretches the bounds of your imagination.

It is with admiration, respect, and a true spirit of inspiration that I nominate Kim Patishnock for CNBAM’s Graphic Designer of the Year.

To Whom It May Concern, It is with confidence and pleasure that I professionally recommend Danielle Fritz for Designer of the Year as part of the 2013 CNBAM Advertising Contest. Since Danielle has started her employment with the Grand Valley Lanthorn, the student-run newspaper at Grand Valley State University, she has shown not only tremendous growth, but also an evident aptitude for her craft.

As we move ahead through this semester, Danielle has taken on more than her fair share of work in advertising design, illustration and has extended extra support to the Lanthorn’s layout staff in the past months. Danielle is a self-starting employee, always open to direction and compromise, but never afraid to take the reigns. She has a work ethic that is not only positive, but also infectious, preforming at an above-par professional level that is only rivaled by the product she produces.

I do believe that with excellence, attitude is half the battle, and perhaps what makes Danielle the most unique and qualified contender for this award is that unlike so many other students at this stage in life, she never lets the turmoil of higher education outweigh her forward motion – setbacks give birth not to frustration, but to new approaches, fresh perspective and innovative solutions. I do not think you will find a student more qualified for this honor.

If you have any questions about Danielle’s qualifications, or need further comment, do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

ANYA ZENTMEYER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, GRAND VALLEY LANTHORN EDITORIAL@LANTHORN.COM (616) 331-2464

To Whom It May Concern: I am proud to have the opportunity to recommend Danielle Fritz for the Designer of the Year position at this years CNBAM conference. In my experience at the Grand Valley Lanthorn, I have never had the pleasure of working with such a talented and hardworking individual until Danielle was introduced to the team.

From the moment I first interviewed Danielle, I knew that she was special and would be a wonderful asset to the Grand Valley Lanthorn. Danielle is a very enthusiastic worker who handles pressure well. The Assistant Advertising Manager, Arianna Fuoco, says, “Dani is a hardworking individual, always willing to collaborate with others. Her positive mindset provides a constant helping hand.” Danielle would work extra odd hours to ensure projects where completed at the desired quality and would even volunteer to help with other operations of the newspaper, such as working with the layout team.

As an illustration major, Danielle has a unique skill that is extremely valuable. She has the ability to sketch different designs, scan them into the computer, and modify the images digitally. Because of this, we’ve been able to save money on stock images and have Danielle make custom designs for our clients instead. For example, the cover of our Housing Guide was one of Danielle’s paintings.

If there is one thing that shines through more than her talent and optimistic personality, it’s Danielle’s passion. She spends almost as much time in the office as the Editor-­‐in-­‐Chief and I, the Advertising Manager. I’ll never forget the time when one of our clients needed an advertisement designed right before deadline. Danielle asked me, “Do you need me to miss class and take care of this?” This simply shows how much Danielle works to make a difference at the Grand Valley Lanthorn.

Overall, Danielle is by far the best candidate for this award. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, I would love to tell you.

Best, Angela Carollo Advertising Manager at the Grand Valley Lanthorn advertising@lanthorn.com 616.331.2484

Lakers sweep GLIAC-GLVC tournament

BY ZACH SEPANIK GVL STAFF WRITER

The fifth installment of the GLIAC-GLVC crossover tournament was a thing of beauty for the Grand Valley State University volleyball team as they came away with a perfect 3-0 record, only losing one set in total, on Friday and Saturday in Aurora, Ill. “We wanted to make sure since we have such a young team that they had a solid understanding of where everybody was sitting, seedwise, and the opportunity that was ahead of us,” said GVSU head coach Deanne Scanlon. “That was one of the things we focused on, them not going in blind saying, ‘We have three matches, but we don’t know who these teams are.’ All three teams had very different styles.”

The Lakers (16-4, 6-3 GLIAC) pushed its win streak to seven games with the three victories and have now swept five of its last seven matches.

In the Friday afternoon match, GVSU faced Missouri University of Science and Technology, a team they beat in five sets on Sept. 1 at the Western Oregon Classic.

This time around, after losing the first set, the Lakers turned things around to take it in four sets (17-25, 25-23, 25-21, 28-26), snapping the

Miners’ nine-match winning streak.

Sophomore outside hitter Abby Aiken, senior middle blocker Eno Umoh and freshman outside hitter Betsy Ronda combined for 49 of GVSU’s 61 kills, as Aiken led the way with 19.

Umoh had a very prolific outing, committing no errors in 22 attempts and hitting at a .682 mark.

Sophomore setter Clair Ruhenkamp also had a big time performance, delivering 52 assists and 13 digs Throughout the match, GVSU continually found itself behind, but clawed back each time their back was against the wall.

Down 19-17 in the second set, Umoh came up with a kill and then an attack error by Missouri S&T tied the score. A couple points later, tied at 23, Ronda delivered with a blast of her own and another error by the Miners capped off the Laker comeback. They would carry the momentum into the third set, starting off on a 9-0 run, all with sophomore libero Christina Canepa serving.

“If we get down a set, when we move on to the next set we just know it has to be better. We try to stay calm,” Ruhenkamp said. “It is a turning point for us. It shows that we are resilient and even if we get put in a tough situation, we are still going to come back and

fight hard and give it all we got.”

In their night matchup, the Lakers took out Bellarmine University in straight sets, 25-17, 25-16 and 2521.

Ruhenkamp delivered 34 assists, six digs, three block assists and a kill, while Canepa led the team with 13 digs.

To cap off the road trip, the Lakers defeated William Jewell College on Saturday, 25-22, 25-20, and 25-19.

“Everyone was extremely excited about our 3-0 weekend,” Umoh said. “Coach has been stressing about how important the crossover is to us and how we needed to win these games. We all went in knowing what we had to do to get it done. Just seeing our execution and how we played was very exciting.”

The perfect weekend has the Lakers stringing together some consistency, something Scanlon says is that next step toward GVSU becoming an elite team.

“We knew we could play at a high level and do some really exciting things but we weren’t really doing that early on a consistent basis,” Scanlon said. “We still have a lot of areas we can get better in, but I feel like we are playing more consistent volleyball for longer periods of time.” zsepanik@lanthorn.com

Before Friday, when the University of Findlay snapped their undefeated streak and shutout streak, it had been a long time since the Grand Valley State University women’s soccer team tasted defeat.

On Friday night, after taking a 21st-minute lead from a Kayla Addison goal, the Lakers went into halftime in the same manner they have almost all season — with the lead. A less familiar feeling, however, was the attack that Findlay mounted right after the intermission. Immediately after halftime, GVSU conceded its first goal since Memorial Day to Findlay’s Emily Beddoes, who evened the score at one.

Less than ten minutes later, Findlay found the net again, putting the Lakers behind for the first time all season.

“We played a pretty good first half,” said head coach Dave DiIanni. “But the ball

was in the air most of the second half, and that’s not our game. Anytime you give up a goal in the first minute of a half and give up another one about five minutes later, that’s not a good way to have success.”

The two teams each traded goals in the last ten minutes, with another from Beddoes and a Maria Brown strike for the Lakers. But it wasn’t enough, and GVSU received its first loss of the season.

“It made us realize that we have to work for everything we have,” said sophomore defender Juane Odendaal. “We can’t go out there and know that we’re going to win. We know that people don’t like us and we have a lot of competition.”

Coach DiIanni wasn’t sure how his team would react after their first loss of the season.

“We wanted to make sure that one game didn’t define our season,” DiIanni said.

“The mindset was to be resilient. We wanted to have a little more of a fighter’s mentality, a stronger mentality. We had to ask for a renewed kind of commitment by the whole team to be good teammates and commit to finishing the year as good as we can.”

On Sunday against Tiffin, the team reacted like any perennial Final Four and national powerhouse would.

Motivated by Friday’s defeat, GVSU outshot Tiffin

39-2 and dominated a Tiffin team that is sitting in the middle of the GLIAC standings.

“Any worry I had disappeared,” DiIanni said. “After I saw our team leader rally the troops, they showed a renewed commitment to one another.”

After Friday’s loss, senior forward Ashley Botts made her return to the score-sheet on Sunday, netting a goal in the sixth minute to put the Lakers back in the driver’s seat.

“I haven’t been scoring the opportunities presented to me in the last couple of games,” Botts said. “So to be able to put a couple away today not only gives me confidence but hopefully also reassures the team’s faith in me.”

Botts completed the scoring in the 34th minute, giving the Lakers a 2-0 lead and some breathing room in order to cruise to victory in the second half.

The 2-0 victory could very well put the Lakers back on track for the rest of the season.

“Coming out here today and getting a win was the best feeling ever,” Odendaal said.

“Our mentality was a lot better today than it was on Friday.”

The team will return home this weekend to face GLIACundefeated Michigan Tech on Friday at 7 p.m. and Northern Michigan University on Sunday at 1 p.m. roskampk@lanthorn.com

Mystery of art: Pulitzer Prize winning composer David Lang speaks to a class during his visit to GVSU.

Composer David Lang visits campus, teaches students

BY SHELBY PENDOWSKI GVL STAFF WRITER

When composer David Lang visited Grand Valley State University, he asked a group of viewers waiting to watch a screening of the independent film he composed, “Untitled,” what the difference between art and entertainment was. His response, “Entertainment never posed a problem it couldn’t solve.”

On Nov. 12, the So Very Series film series screened “Untitled” in the GVSU Performing Arts Center’s Sherman Van Solkema Recital Hall with a special performance by Lang.

“A performance of one short piece by Lang will precede the film (and) lend/ lease for piccolo and percussion,” said William Ryan, GVSU music professor.

But seeing Lang perform wasn’t the only thrill for students in attendance.

Ashley Stanley performed at the beginning of the event, and said playing before Lang was exciting because “he is the founding father of contemporary music and that is what I am looking to go into.”

The students opened the screening and event with a performance that Stanley said is different.

“This piece is interesting because it doesn’t involve too many instruments,” Stanley said.

That wasn’t the only opportunity students had while Lang visited GVSU’s campus this week – they performed some of Lang’s work in a Nov. 13 performance.

“This particular piece, we have put in 20-30 hours together plus learning individual parts, so about 40 hours,” Stanley said.

Following the screening’s performance, Lang gave a brief introduction about his involvement with the film and his composition. He said he received a call from the director of “Untitled,” who explained the plot line for the film and then asked Lang to compose the music for it.

He said he responded to the director by saying, “I am not going to be a part of this film if you are going to make fun of composers.”

Lang said it was important that the film expressed a true musician and composer.

“David has many different compositions used throughout the film,” Ryan said. “Some were composed

specifically for the film, other music already existed and were edited to fit.”

Lang wrote all of the music in the film, even the “bad” music in the beginning of the character’s career.

“I don’t like that the character had to have a weird emotional attachment in order to compose,” Lang said. “I hate that you have to suffer in order to compose, I don’t want to suffer.”

Lang watched the film with the audience, and afterward answered questions, during which he gave away a raffle prize.

The winner won a bucket signed by Lang, similar to the bucket that the film’s main character used.

The film ended with the musical composition “Stick Figure,” and the audience sat until the end of the credits to listen to the piece.

“David Lang’s music is brilliant,” Ryan said. “It’s constantly exploring, testing. It can be gritty and grating one moment, and then intimate and quite beautiful the next.”

Lang is proud of the film and said a lot of time went into the production of it. He said it’s appeared in many independent film festivals and is even now on Netflix.

“I love the ending...because it is about the art and music world,” Lang said.

“Music gets to win at the end.”

Ryan said he started the off-beat film festival, So Very Serious, as a dream of his. Future showings include “Die Hard” on Dec. 9, which features a holiday mix preceding the film.

Banding together: The Grand Valley State University Marching Band contributed to the lively atmosphere of the Laker football

BY STACY SABAITIS GVL STAFF WRITER

H

ighlighting their football season as it comes to an end, the Grand Valley State University Laker Marching Band is ending the year with a free season recap performance that pays tribute to the Laker Nation and graduating seniors.

Bandorama, Nov. 18, celebrates the past season’s music in the Kelly Family Sports Center from 8-9:30 p.m., which is a new home for the annual event.

John Martin, GVSU director of athletic bands said it was started before he came to GVSU and thinks it’s been around at least 15-20 years.

Because the Kelly Family Sports Center is a large venue, the marching band has more space to do their normal routines when entering.

“We are going to march in around the track,” Martin said. “Then we will do a sit down concert that will go through every show we did this season, so it’s just a recap.”

Along with the bands, the color guard and baton twirler, Moriah Muscaro, will be on the field performing their routines from this season.

“It’s a performance to give back to our fans, to the Laker Nation, just a quick sizing up of a season,” Martin said. “It’s also good because we also say goodbye to our graduating seniors and the folks who have marched with us and are leaving for whatever reason, whether it’s student teaching or graduation or just can’t fit it into the schedule anymore, so it’s a big deal. It’s sort of a closing up of everything.”

Martin said the marching band performed five shows this season, beginning with a positive performance that featured the songs “All of the Lights” made famous by Kanye West, and “Ode to Joy.” Throughout the season, the band also played song tributes to modern day bands such as the Offspring and LMFAO, and several country music classics.

As GVSU’s baton twirler, Muscaro said she enjoys being a part of the marching band.

“I mean I have to find a spot around the band and

obviously stay away from the band, but the band director’s do such a great job at writing me into the drill and giving me positions that I need so that I can do what I do,” Muscaro said.

Even though this is an indoor concert, some of the elements that fans would expect to hear and see at a football game will be incorporated into the evening.

“It’s not just going to be

straight playing the whole time, it’s going to be some talking as well and different announcements and things like that just to make it more exciting,” Muscaro said.

Mark Gotberg, a member of the trombone section, said that this concert gives his family, along with others who didn’t make it to all the football games, a chance to hear all of the shows from the season.

“A lot of my family comes to Bandorama that can’t necessarily make it to football games, so we kind of get to play the music for them, and then they get to hear it even though they couldn’t come to all of the football games and that kind of stuff,” Gotberg said.

“It gives us the opportunity to show off too, which is kind of cool.”

HAAS SIGNS ON FOR VIRTUAL OFFICE HOURS

BY LIZZY BALBOA GVL NEWS EDITOR

I

n a fashion almost contrary to his iconic stature, President Thomas J. Haas did not perch in his office atop Grand Valley State University Thursday and man his virtual office hours alone.

In fact, 13 university figures huddled around a conference table in the basement of Zumberge Library on the Allendale CAmpus and contributed to Haas’ responses, which were then dictated to a typist.

While the president framed the bulk of the answers, he called upon the expertise of the others in the group to offer perspectives from their departments.

Many of the questions required special knowledge of university procedures, like the development of living communities, the requirements for financial aid and the preservation of studentprofessor relationships in cost-saving plans. For these posts, Haas collaborated with the others.

Jon Jellema, associate vice president of Academic Affairs, provided input for many academic questions, and when a student perspective was called for, Student Senate President Jack Iott was there to offer his.

“It’s a little bit like a game show,” said Mary Ei-

leen Lyon of GVSU News and Information Services.

“Everyone just starts yelling out the answers.”

Haas said the group worked together to do some “wordsmithing” to make sure that the answers were as clear as possible. Even in the fast-paced atmosphere, the construction of responses was deliberate and tentative. Every period and every comma was dictated to the typist, and individual words were carefully chosen for concision and accuracy.

While the president typically only has time for one or two-sentence replies, site inactivity allowed him to spend more time on each post this time. His virtual office hours saw fewer visitors and questions this fall than it has in the past. A total of 40 people logged into the chat, but only 16 questions were asked and many came from the same users. The president said he usually responds to about 50 or 60 posts, and he has even more to choose from.

Lyon added that there are typically a few questions ready to go when the chat begins, but this event was much slower to start than it had been in past semesters.

She attributed the inactivity to midterms, which may have preoccupied many students, staff and faculty.

While some took advantage of Haas’s attention by

voicing their concerns and questions about the future of GVSU, others used the opportunity to come to know the president on a more personal level.

After all, how often can a student ask “T. Haas” about his favorite memories at GVSU and get an honest answer? (His reception of the nickname “T. Haas” two hours into his presidency was his reply).

Haas even opened up about his personal college

questions Q: Do you think it’s possible for us to get more 50 routes on the weekend because it overcrowded in one bus running each way is not going to be able to handle the capacity of students.

experiences and athletic endeavors. Again, in a fashion contrary to his powerful position, the president ordered the typist to include a “smiley face” at the end of his response.

“It is very special that our president communicates so willingly and frequently with students,” Iott said. “The focus on students and learning at GV is what makes the GV experience so excellent.” news@lanthorn.com

from President Haas’ virtual office hours

Q: I see you at a majority of the sporting events here at GV. So my question is what was your athletic background?

Q: What is a favorite memory of yours from college and what is one of your favorite memories of your time here at Grand Valley?

Q: What is your favorite part of being president of Grand Valley? Are there any little known perks?

Just curious!

A: While in college I played basketball and baseball.

Later I had the opportunity to coach baseball, women’s basketball and softball at the collegiate level. I am still known to be able to throw in a 3-pointer now and then, but don’t ask me to dunk it. PS Now my contact sport is golf.

A: My favorite memory of Grand Valley was 2 hours into my job when 210 students gave me my nickname, aka T. Haas. My favorite memory in college was how my roommate helped me out when I was ill and needed his help to keep me on track with my classes.

A: My favorite part of being the president at Grand Valley is without a doubt the students with whom I interact. Whether it be in class, walking on the Allendale campus, in the buildings in Grand Rapids and other locations, I have a great sense of optimism because of the students who have chosen to come here. I think that the Presidents’ Ball that Jack and I will host on the first of February is not only a perk, but another opportunity to interact with our students.

Q: Do you ever miss being in the classroom teaching?

A: No because I stay active in the classroom. Just yesterday I had a chance to lecture in Chem 115 and Chem 241. I always enjoy interacting with our students in and outside of the classroom. My experiences at Grand Valley reinforce my passion for the teaching and learning that goes on at this university. Our students are remarkable.

POST SEASON PUSH Men’s club soccer team makes history with postseason berth

BY ZACH SEPANIK GVL STAFF WRITER

T

here is a first time for everything.

For the Grand Valley State University men’s club soccer team, coming up short of making the national tournament the past few years has been heartbreaking. Never giving up though, this year’s squad accomplished something no other team before them had.

A phone call to GVSU head coach Jeff Crooks late Monday night let him know his team qualified for the 2012 NIRSA NCCS National Soccer Championships.

The Lakers will be one of 24 teams competing in the championships, taking place Nov. 15-17 at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex in Memphis, Tenn.

“It says a lot for the players,” Crooks said. “I am so happy right now I can’t even tell you how pleased I am. It is just so exciting.”

Their accomplishments this season earned the Lakers an at-large bid to the national tournament. With the country broken-up into six regions, the top-three

teams from each region automatically qualify for the tournament. Then, based on the season’s results, six at-large teams are given a bid to round out the field.

“They definitely took a look at our scores, that we are up there, competing against the best teams and beating some of the best teams,” said junior defenseman Alec Lanigan, a team captain and also the club president. “We may not have won the whole thing, but we are in one of the toughest conferences in the nation.”

GVSU competes in the Midwest Alliance Soccer Conference. The league is split into four divisions with the Lakers a member of the Central Division. With an overall record of 15-4 this year, and 8-2 in the conference, the team finished third behind Western Michigan University and Michigan State University. Other top teams in the conference include the University of Illinois, the University of Cincinnati and Ohio State University.

“We have a lot of seniors on the team and it will be our last time playing competitively,” said senior midfielder Dan Radosevich, also a team captain. “Most

of us have been playing since we were little, so to be one of the 24 teams to get to the national tournament, it is a real cool accomplishment.”

Thanks to facilities like the Kelly Family Sports Center, as well as the turf athletic fields, GVSU has the resources in place to prepare and challenge defending champion Weber State University for the title.

“Compared to every other school we play, you can go from U-M and Michigan State, we have by far the best support and the best facilities in the country,” Crooks said. “That is a testament to the school in general and how supportive they are of every program. We are always very appreciative of that.”

The Lakers will learn of the pool they are in and their first opponent when the schedule is released on Nov. 8. All teams have two games on Thursday, Nov. 15, with action starting at 8 a.m. The National Championship final will be played on Saturday, Nov. 17 at 5 p.m. zsepanik@lanthorn.com

Women’s club rugby ends dominant regular season

BY EVAN MCMILLIN GVL STAFF WRITER

Rarely do teams come out of the gates at the start of season as a polished work of art, firing on all cylinders, and dominating every opponent they face.

The Grand Valley women’s club rugby team has been every bit an exception to that rule. With a perfect 6-0 record for the season, and just one win coming by less than 50 points, the Lakers are putting together one of the most memorable women’s rugby seasons in recent memory.

The Lakers are a tight-knit

group, as evidenced by their focused game plans and familiarity with one another as they interact on the field of play “Team play. We’ve played as a team from the start to the end of each game. Everybody is humble, but hungry,” said head coach Bob Richthammer. “Losing in nationals last was a humbling experience for a lot of the returning people, so we truly take it one game at a time.

Our goal is to improve each game on the mistakes from the previous game and we really work hard in practice to do that.”

Though every player on the team is as important to the team’s overall

success as the next, all successful teams have star players they can rely on when the going gets tough.

And while the Laker’s rugby squad is oozing with talent, players like senior fullback Amanda Godfrey have stepped up their game and shown why they deserve some of the spotlight for their excellent play.

“I think the most improved part of my game is that I have become a more aggressive and fearless player,” Godfrey said. “I tried to lift weights as much as possible this summer to increase my size and strength as well as running to keep up with my fitness.”

The regular season is now over

for the Lakers after their final game against Wayne State University was canceled due to forfeit, and now they’re looking at a fivemonth layoff until nationals begin in April. With such a long layoff, players know that dedication is what it will take to maintain their focus and sharpness going into to the playoff picture.

“We are going to do our best to keep everyone in shape and work on the areas that need it. Continuing to workout as a team is going to be important,” said sophomore Caitlyn Kiraly. “If everyone works together and motivates each other to improve before nationals, we should do great

when we get there.”

During the regular season the Lakers scored a total of 355 points, 177 more points than their closest competition in their conference as Western Michigan University has scored 178 points. The Lakers have quite the point differential on the year, scoring 355 points while only giving up 31 points. Only three teams in the conference have a positive point differential: Ferris State at plus-six, Western Michigan at plus-77 and GVSU leading the way at plus-324. mcmilline@lanthorn.com

ey for medicine and patient services, and be a support system to those who have blood cancer, GVSU student Jacqueline Dospil has planned an event to raise money and awareness for the cause. Dospil has arranged for GVSU to host a 5K run/walk on campus Sept. 9. Registration has already begun and is taking place on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/335563106537905/.

Purple wristbands similar to those distributed by Livestrong will be sold at the event to raise money for leukemia and lymphoma research, outreach and patient services. Dospil’s goal for this event is $2,000, and she will be accepting donations from those who do not wish to participate in the event.

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures makes new magazine—“Waves” Since languages touch so many people throughout the world and are ubiquitous, just like water and waves, the Department of Languages and Literatures decided to name their new magazine “Waves.” An online version of the magazine is available to everyone through the MLL Department website, and the department members hope for it to spark an interest in students taking languages around GVSU. The magazine includes the work of students, faculty, staff and alumni from the MLL department languages. The idea was conceived by MLL Chair Majd Al-Mallah, who is an associate professor of Arabic at “learning a language and a culture can open the door to a wide range of career options. Employers are seeking well-rounded individuals, particularly those with a second language.”

n Saturday at 7 p.m., the Grand Valley State University football team will go head-to-head with Notre Dame College at Lubbers Stadium in the Lakers’ first home game of the season.

With that in mind, Capt. Brandon DeHaan, assistant director of the Grand Valley Police Department, said students can expect an increased police presence before, during and after the football game.

The increased police force is a re-

sult of an annual grant of $13,000, awarded to GVPD by the Office of Highway Safety and Planning. Activation of the grant allows for university police to bring in officers from the Ottawa County Sherriff’s Department to aid GVPD to monitor underage drinking during events with a “greater likelihood of underage alcohol consumption.”

The grant pays OCSD officers timeand-a-half for their work plus regular benefits when activated. Event-oriented dates like the first week of school, home football games, St. Patrick’s Day and Halloween, to name a few, spur the activation of the grant. “(The grant is activated often enough) to cover the vast majority of those event dates that have historically had a higher preponderance of underage drinking,” DeHaan said.

Per usual, tailgating for GVSU’s first home game will begin no more than three hours immediately before the scheduled kick-off, and within an hour of the game’s completion, in lots C, F and G. Alcohol consumption is prohibited throughout campus during the actual game itself, with the exception of the Corporate Suites and the

President’s Suite.

GVSU’s tailgating policies explicitly state that any violation of tailgating regulations “may result in immediate termination of tailgating privileges and criminal prosecution or disciplinary action through the GVSU Office of Student Life.”

Police officers will be checking student IDs, DeHaan said, and added that officers gravitate toward those exhibiting “attention drawing behavior.”

“People engaging in criminal activity, assaultive behavior – people trying to run away from the officers… anything that draws attention to themselves,” DeHaan said.

Students consuming alcohol who are identified by officers as underage will be cited for minor in possession violations, referred to the Dean of Students Office and required to attend GVSU’s Alcohol Campus Education Services.

Parking in Lot C, F and G will cost patrons $5 per car and $20 for motor coaches/homes. Overnight parking is prohibited in any GVSU parking lot.

Charmaine Martinez // recommendation: JOH N L A RWO OD

20 November 2012

Dear CNBAM Selection Committee: I am writing on behalf of John Larwood, who is currently a graphic design student in the B.F.A. program at Cal Poly. John has taken a number of graphic design, typography, and web design classes with me over the past two years. I have also worked with John in the capacity of faculty advisor to the AIGA (Professional Association for Design) Student Chapter, of which John has been both an active member and an officer. It is via this association that I make the following observations and base my recommendation.

From day one, John has shown enthusiasm for class material and diligence in his work. He never fails to make helpful suggestions for fellow students regarding their work, has an infectious positive attitude and contributes greatly to the class as a creative community. During critiques, John is an active and articulate participator. In working on his own projects, he has shown the initiative and self-motivation to work at a high level. The work that he has accomplished in my classes has been consistently well done, both conceptually and technically. He takes pride in his work: it is refined, polished, and professional. He is also intelligent, detail-oriented, and is quick to embrace new challenges.

In addition to taking a full course load in a demanding major, John is currently the Arts Director for the Mustang Daily. In this capacity, he has created a robust body of work, including Special Edition covers, mobile app icons, and an extensive Media Kit for potential advertisers. His promotional work for the Mustang Daily is a model of clarity and consistency—with highly legible typography, user-friendly layouts, and bright, engaging illustrations. You can see from his work that he goes above and beyond on each and every design project. I cannot imagine you will find a more deserving candidate for the CNBAM “Best Designer” of the year.

We are lucky to have a student of John’s caliber in our program, and I look forward to following what I am sure will be a promising career and watching his professional achievements. John has my highest recommendation and I ask that you give his application every consideration.

Sincerely,

Charmaine Martinez Associate Professor, Department of Art and Design

audio system will be replaced by line array technology by Meyer Sound, consisting of banana-shaped speakers. These replacements will “enable the audio controller to better direct sound so it has a broader and more even coverage,” Regier said.

The next part of the audio project will be the constellation system, a network of small speakers and microphones. Although the original system of speakers did not negatively affect audience members, instrument players on stage would not be able to hear one another, which Regier said posed a big inconvenience.

When deployed, the constellation system’s network will come down from the ceiling to situate above the stage. The sound from performers will be captured by the microphones, digitally transmitted to and processed through a computer program, distributed back to the speakers and finally back to the players in a nearly in-

stantaneous period, Regier said.

The consolidated audio project cost $1,480,000, funded by the Foundation for the Performing Arts Center (FPAC) and the PAC MEMRRP. The FPAC raised $731,000 for the constellation system through donations from the San Luis Obispo community, FPAC’s Heather Cochrane said.

“We’ve waited patiently for the best possible acoustic system, and it’s really thrilling that (donors will) be able to hear the things they’ve donated to for so long,” Cochrane said.

In addition to renovations to the building itself, the PAC is now sponsoring parking so that patrons will not need to pay the previous charge of $6, Cal Poly Arts director Steven Lerian said.

Lerian said that as a client of the PAC, he appreciates the constant work the PAC staff puts in to upgrading the facility.

“They maintain it in a way that makes it feel like new every time we go in,” he said.

“That’s what means the most to me.”

Wednesday, September 12, 2012 Jim Chernoff, technical services manager for the PAC, said the efforts in the renovation will benefit Cal Poly Arts as well as many campus organizations and community members that use the building.

“Overall I think everyone will come out ahead over this,” Chernoff said.

Considering the changes are still under maintenance, Harman Hall will remain closed until Aug. 7. Various scheduled performances will take place for about a week, until Aug. 15, when it will close again until Sept. 23, the scheduled reopening date.

Regier anticipates the completely renovated facility for the upcoming school year.

“We’re finally bringing major components up to the high standards that were set initially,” he said. “I think and hope that performers and audience will appreciate the fact that they’re experiencing a performance in a state of the art facility. We want to have the very highest level of experience for them as possible, and I think these improvements will help accomplish that.”

Summer hits high and low notes

Kyle Loomis is a journalism senior and Mustang Daily music columnist.

Greetings, music fans! I trust that you have enjoyed summer as much as I have. With music festival season still in full-swing, I am here to help guide you toward your inner music fanatic. After all, there’s all kinds of weird sounds out there, and you probably need all the help you can get.

A lot of music was released these past months, making my summer soundtrack as enjoyable as it was diverse. Granted, some tunes have been better than others, but there’s plenty to be excited about for fans of all genres. Let us remember some of the notable albums that dropped over summer, and look forward to a new school year that will surely provide us music lovers with even more beats and jams to bother our neighbors with.

“Wild Ones” - Flo Rida - Atlantic Records - hip-hop/pop

3.O Rapper Flo Rida released his fourth studio album — the much-anticipated “Wild Ones” — at the top of the summer, providing Las Vegas DJs with plenty of songs to play over and over and over.

This album’s invasively catchy songs are a shining example of the unfortunate drift of electronic dance music into the mainstream. On “Wild Ones,” tracks produced by house-music giants Avicii and Axwell are tainted by superficial and shallow lyrical content. The album’s title track typifies Flo Rida’s rapping ability: “After bottle, we all get bit and again tomorrow/ Gotta break loose cause that’s the motto/Club shuts down, I

heard you’re super models.”

Tragically, the raps and rhymes on the album do no favors for the hip-hop genre either. But anyone who has visited The Library downtown can figure out that drunk nightclubbers love to hear songs like these about — you guessed it — getting drunk in the club (though this is an improvement from topics such as Apple Bottom jeans and boots with the fur). It’s an artist-fan relationship that I’m glad to take no part in … not before a few drinks, anyway.

“Gossamer” - Passion Pit - Colombia Records - electronic/indie

7.5 On July 16, just a week before the album’s release, Passion Pit fans held their breath in worry when lead singer Michael Angelakos announced on the band’s website that the group decided to cancel six tour dates so that Angelakos could “take the time to work on improving (his) mental health.” In an interview with Rolling Stone in August, Angelakos admitted that the difficulties of the touring lifestyle while living with bipolar disorder can be overwhelming.

Amidst the chaos of these events, I was pleasantly surprised to find the songs on “Gossamer” more enjoyable than those on Passion Pit’s previous album “Manners.” Even though I’ve never been a fan of Angelakos’ wailing falsetto (“Sleepyhead” was grossly overplayed for far too long), the vocals from songs such as “Constant Conversations” and “Cry Like a Ghost” go down smoother. Passion Pit brings back its characteristic bouncy synths and thumping rhythms in “Take a Walk” and “Carried Away.”

“Channel Orange” - Frank Ocean - Def Jam - R&B

6.75 I’m not a fan of R&B, so I didn’t think I was going to be impressed with Frank Ocean’s “Channel ORANGE” when it came out in July, but the Odd Future member changed my opinions about the direction of the genre.

The most intriguing part of “Channel ORANGE” is Ocean’s knack for being an engaging storyteller. His songs have been under intense scrutiny ever since Ocean shared a post on his Tumblr that involved him having romantic feelings for a man — a rather unprecedented move for a member of the hiphop community. This revelation inspires a new appreciation for Ocean’s lyrics, particularly in the popular single, “Thinkin Bout You,” which has emotionally powerful verses.

Ocean also demonstrates his storytelling prowess in “Super Rich Kids,” a track that reflects on the impacts of a materialistic lifestyle with shallow interactions: “Too many joy rides in daddy’s Jaguar/Too many white lies and white lines/Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends/Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends.” The lyrics are flavored with dry humor and complimented with a piano rhythm reminiscent of Elton John’s “Benny and the Jets.”

Lastly, I really enjoyed “Pyramids,” which is tinged with electronic influences, displaying the New Orleans native’s willingness to branch out into other genres. With a groovy bass line and dream-like synths, it’s a little more upbeat than the rest of the album.

Keep an eye out for this young talent.

“The Temper Trap” - The Temper Trap - Liberation Music - indie rock

“Shrines” - Purity Ring - 4AD - electronic

8.5

7.5

I harbored some doubts as to whether The Temper Trap’s second album would repeat the success of the Aussies’ debut, “Conditons” (2009) and its hugely popular single “Sweet Disposition.” I remember seeing them perform at Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in 2010, and was impressed with the energetic “Fader,” among others.

The band’s self-titled sophomore effort absolutely exceeded my expectations. Track one, “Need Your Love,” explodes with a rush of trumpeting synths and singer Dougy Mandagi’s piercing voice. Mandagi’s vocals, the driving force behind the band’s scintillating sounds, are impeccable in the album’s second single “Trembling Hands.” The album’s seventh and eighth tracks “Where Do We Go From Here” and “Never Again” are surprisingly danceable and upbeat.

Strangely entrancing, Purity Ring’s space-age, synth-pop tunes left me unable to properly describe what I was hearing when I first heard the band’s debut album. The Canadian group merely consists of vocalist Megan James and her beat-composing counterpart Corin Roddick, but that’s where the group’s simplicity ends.

Characterized by ghostly synths and the disparate trap-style beats made famous by southern rap tunes (and currently seeing a revival in electronic dance music), Shrines takes listeners on a seemingly underwater journey with bizarre songs that I’m eager to see performed live. “Ungirthed,” “Fineshrine” and “Crawlersout” are all fantastic tracks that play with the senses.

Five must-have classic rock albums Kyle Loomis is a journalism senior and Mustang Daily music columnist.

A sure sign of good music is that it endures the test of time and remains popular for generations. Music that persists, with songs that speak to us and inspire us. Artists who change everything.

This week’s Polyphonic is devoted to some of the best classic rock that influenced the artists we love today. These rock legends introduced new sounds and opened doors for other musicians to explore and experiment, resulting in the vast diversity of genres we have now.

The ’60s was a period of time that inspired such a large quantity of innovative musicians. Regrettably, I am unable to include everything I think deserves to be mentioned here (expect a continuation of this list at a later date). There is just too much to tell for one edition of this column.

Here are five of my favorite classic rock albums: 1. “Rubber Soul” (1965) — The Beatles Any discussion of great classic rock is incomplete if the “fab four” aren’t mentioned. The influence John, Paul, George and Ringo have had on music cannot be understated, and “Rubber Soul” ranks among their most popular and critically acclaimed works.

The Beatles began a cultural revolution in the U.S. after the band’s famously remembered performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in February 1964, then known for boyishly-charming pop hits

such as “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Two years and several albums later, the Beatles released “Rubber Soul” — with a dramatically different sound driven by the members’ urge to experiment with new instruments and lyrically drift away from the conventional love songs that had dominated their style.

Tracks such as “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Had Flown),” which featured the Indian sitar played by lead guitarist George Harrison, and “I’m Looking Through You” offer a more pessimistic view of romance, and the then-unique distortion on “Think For Yourself ” introduced a new aspect to music that laid the foundation for psychedelic rock.

Out of the countless groundbreaking albums that made the Beatles rock ‘n’ roll legends, I consider “Rubber Soul” to be the most important. This album marked the start of a new breed of rock music and has influenced musicians of all genres since. That is why I include this album on this list, rather than other iconic works such as “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

2. “The Doors” (1967) — The Doors Coming out of Los Angeles, The Doors immediately built a popular, albeit controversial reputation after the release of the group’s debut, self-titled album in 1967.

(In)famously known for lead singer Jim Morrison’s vocal prowess, unsettling poetry and unpredictable on-stage antics, The Doors were the shining example of why parents in the

’60s likely tried their hardest to keep their kids away from rock ‘n’ roll.

When it came to creating controversy, there was no better example than Morrison’s (possibly blatant) refusal to censor the drugimplicated lyric, “Baby, we couldn’t get much higher” during the band’s performance of “Light My Fire” on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

Rebelliousness aside, The Doors have deservedly become a staple in classic rock.

The band’s use of keyboards, especially in “Light My Fire” and “Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar),” and the haunting bellows of Morrison make its music truly unique and timeless.

3. “Disraeli Gears” (1967) — Cream Third on my list is “Disraeli Gears,” the second album release by the British psychedelic rock group Cream, composed of guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker.

With a catchy guitar hook and Bruce’s transcendent vocals, the popular single “Sunshine of Your Love” continues to be a symbol of the classic rock genre. But Clapton’s proficiency at guitar is even more evident in the lesser-known tracks of “Disraeli Gears.”

Arguably the most gifted guitarist of all time, Clapton explored beyond the boundaries of conventional guitarplaying with trippy riffs on tracks like “Tales of Brave Ulysses,” “Strange Brew,” and “SWLABR.” Clapton played a huge role in the evolution of the guitarist, and his time with Cream was the catalyst for his

polyPHONIC extremely successful career.

When it comes to pure, organic talent, it’s hard to beat the individual members of Cream, which makes their music essential to have in your library.

4. “Are You Experienced?”

(1967) — The Jimi Hendrix Experience As one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most tragic stories, the world will always treasure the short-lived but extraordinary career of Jimi Hendrix. Despite being in the national spotlight for only four years, the Seattle, Wash. native is celebrated as one of the most influential and adept guitarists in history.

His band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, only released three studio albums, and each has a superb collection of blues-influenced psychedelic rock tracks. My favorite is the

band’s debut release, “Are You Experienced?”

The album not only features Hendrix’s incendiary playing (characterized by amplifier feedback, sound oscillation and the “wah-wah” pedal), but also delves into imaginative (some would say hallucinogenic) themes lyrically, as seen in the title track, as well as “The Wind Cries Mary” and “Third Stone from the Sun.” “Are You Experienced?” is an album that is an absolute necessity to any classic rock collection. Hendrix will leave a lasting impression, both as a master guitarist and as a singer-songwriter.

5. “Beggars Banquet” (1968) — The Rolling Stones There are so many Rolling Stones albums it was almost impossible to choose just one for this list. After meticulous

deliberation, I chose “Beggars Banquet” because of its diversity in content and the popularity of a couple of its songs, namely “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Street Fighting Man.” “Sympathy for the Devil” explores the evil nature of humanity with contrastingly upbeat instrumentals, including percussion reminiscent of samba, and “Street Fighting Man” uses an urgent, acoustic guitar melody to accentuate its politically motivated themes of social activism.

Other tracks on “Beggars Banquet” are tinged with country influences, such as “No Expectations” and “Dear Doctor.” “Parachute Woman” is a fun blues tune with some subtle sexual innuendo.

These supporting tracks accompany the two hits well and make the album worthy of mentioning.

Niki Prestel

UNC Charlotte Student Niner Media Best Designer

January 14, 2013 This letter serves to nominate Niki Prestel for CNBAM’s Designer of the Year.

To whom it may concern: Niki Prestel joined the Media Marketing department of Student Niner Media in August of 2011. In her time in our production department she has made her presence known with professional quality work and her positive ‘team first’ attitude.

As our Creative Director, Niki has excelled in her daily duties, which include creating ads, posters, promotion materials and working with students and clients on a regular basis. In addition to her daily tasks, she has also taken the helm in overseeing production of most of our special sections including our Housing Guide and Basketball Preview. She was recognized for her work when she was named the Student Niner Media Employee of the Month for October of 2012.

Her design work is top notch; it is both professional and geared toward students at the same time. Professional staff and peers alike have positive things to say about her design work and work ethic. This was proven at our end of year banquet as her fellow staff voted her the “2012 Rookie of the year.”

Always willing to lend a helping hand, Niki has helped promote the marketing department by handing out papers at promotional events, as well as designing revenue generating theme pages. Her friendly demeanor has eased communication between creative and sales and improved the overall look of our printed material.

In short Niki deserves to be Designer of the Year based on merit alone but her cando attitude and desire to create set her apart from her peers.

Respectfully submitted, Pete Hurdle Graphics & Production Coordination, Student Niner Media The University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Student Niner Media • UNC Charlotte 9201 University City Blvd. • Charlotte, NC 28223 • 704-687-7140

January 24, 2012 To whom it may concern: This letter is written to express my belief that Niki Prestel should be awarded the title of Designer of the Year at CNBAM 2013.

I work closely with Niki in Student Niner Media at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Niki is the Creative Director in our Media Marketing department, and oversees the design process of our school’s newspaper, the Niner Times, where she acts as the Layout Editor.

As the Editor-in-Chief of the Niner Times, I work with Niki quite a bit. She designs the advertisements that go into every issue of our twice-weekly newspaper, combining the preferences and wants of the advertisers with professional, creative designs. Her advertisement designs are appealing to the readers of our paper, which are mostly college-aged students.

Niki is known in Media Marketing for her clean designs and modern graphics. Those techniques are apparent in the 2012 editions of the Housing Guide and the Basketball Preview, both of which Niki creatively lead. Not only did she design the advertisements for both of those special issues, but she also chose eye-appealing, bright color schemes, attention-grabbing typography and created fun and readable graphics with her audience in mind.

For example, a spread in the Basketball Preview designed by Niki featured seven photos of senior basketball players along with quick, interesting facts about them. In this spread Niki played up the photography, emphasizing the action shots of the players, and used sleek arrows to guide the readers eyes to the factual information.

For holidays and other special times of the year, Niki designs theme pages that act as center spreads for the Niner Times. These are always colorful, bright designs that work extremely well with the advertisements she places on those pages. Because of the playful designs, these theme pages are always a favorite of our readers.

In her designs at the Niner Times as the Layout Editor, Niki emphasizes typography, placing text in bold ways to let it speak for itself. Because of this, she has improved upon the way we display our headlines and other page headers. She has also designed various graphics, including images for columns, weather forecasts and more.

Niki always has her audience in mind, aiming to please both the advertisers and the readers of the newspaper. She does so by designing professional, modern advertisements. These are designs that please and impress on both ends of the spectrum.

As a peer of Niki’s, I look to her for graphic design advice all the time, and I’m always thrilled and proud to run her designs in the Niner Times.

Because of her excellent work in Student Niner Media, Niki should be awarded with the title of Designer of the Year.

CSU Lory Student Center, Box 13 Fort Collins, CO 80526 • collegian.com

January 22, 2013 Dear CNBAM Awards Committee: It is with a great deal of pleasure that I submit this letter of nomination for Sarah Thomsen as CNBAM’s 2013 designer of the year.

Sarah is an excellent candidate for this honor because of her strong personal attributes, extraordinary design skills, outstanding organizational skills, excellent work ethic, and demonstrated loyalty and dedication to Rocky Mountain Student Media.

Each spring Student Media awards scholarships to six high school seniors as an opportunity to explore college media as freshman at CSU. Most students apply for editorial and broadcast positions but Sarah applied, and became our first Creative Services stipend winner joining the Collegian staff as an incoming freshman. Her quiet and unassuming approach to work made me wonder if she would succeed in our crazy, fast-paced world but those fears diminished quickly and today I have nothing but admiration for a student I find simply amazing. Without doubt Sarah was become one of the most talented designers and thoughtful leaders I have seen in my twenty years at Student Media. Her pursuit for excellence and dedication to learning has become the solid foundation for her success as both a designer and manager.

ACHIEVEMENT Last January 2012, due to budget cuts, our full-time Creative Services manager position was eliminated. For more than thirty years this position had been filled with a professional designer who mentored design students, managed advertising production and trained staff on design software. The position would be filled with a student. Although doable, having a student take on this workload was both frightening and almost unconceivable. Fortunately, Sarah accepted the challenge and was our unanimous choice for Student Creative Services Manager. Sarah not only revolutionized the Creative Services department, she led the staff in creative design, organized the computer design files and took on quite possibly the largest design project our department has ever seen. Keep in mind Sarah is a fulltime student taking 18+ hours per semester, on the dean’s list, and also interns as a designer in the athletic department.

In February 2012 the Colorado State University public relations department approached me about the possibility of partnering on a publication that would serve as a visitors guide to the campus and Fort Collins’ community. Student Media has produced a visitor’s guide to the city for more than 20 years. The University produced a visitor’s guide to the CSU campus the previous year that didn’t produce the results they had hoped for so they came to us to propose publishing a publication that would combine both audiences. The design expectations for this project far exceeded anything our office had ever done but the opportunity was too good to pass up. A designer was assigned to the project however, after several meetings, revisions and redesigns we realized we would need to assign a new designer or abandon the project. Knowing the importance of this project and fully understanding a client relationship model, Sarah asked if she could take on the project. The results exceeded both my and the public relations department’s expectations. The 48 page, full color glossy publication is beautiful and has become the premier information publication for our campus community. Sarah’s patience, professionalism and expert design skills, proved once again, that her ability far exceeded her years. Did I mention Sarah was a sophomore last year?

CREATIVE STRATEGY Journalism with a concentration in convergence media is Sarah’s major. Her expertise in graphic design has been, for the most part, self-taught. Her passion for learning and desire to consistently produce quality work is what drives her creativity. If Sarah is unfamiliar with a software technique or needs inspiration, she will explore online resources and/or teach herself new skills by watching how-to videos. She learns creative design by doing. Her designs are fresh and unique. So fresh as a matter of fact, that Sarah created her own font for a recent project when she could not find one to suit her vision. The font looks like stitching on jeans and was created in December for the cover of our spring semester coupon book. Although she made it look effortless, the font took time to develop. It did not discourage her however, as she wanted to create a unique cover, unlike any published before.

Advertisers appreciate that Sarah takes time to know them and their business before creating an ad or campaign. She checks their web site and asks questions so she can get a feel for their style before jumping into a design. She is professional beyond her years when dealing with the sales staff and their clients. Although it rarely happens, Sarah keeps a positive attitude when her ads come back with radical changes. She understands our business and knows clients may not share the same creative vision. Many times ads will come to us “already designed” but need to be resized or adjusted for print. Sarah will work her magic to make the ad ready for publication and enhance the quality without compromising the original designers work.

INTERACTION Sarah is an excellent communicator. Her positive attitude and approachability contribute to her success in motivating and inspiring other staff members and earning the trust of our clients. She has an excellent working relationship with all Collegian departments and consistently performs above and beyond the call of duty.

This past fall Sarah created a “whale done” board in the newsroom to post the best ad designs of the week marked with a whale’s tail and message “WHALE DONE”! Although reluctant to put them on the wall, many of the designs are Sarah’s. I believe her ability to lead by example has challenged our designers to do better work. Sarah holds weekly meetings with the design staff to talk about the past week’s work, upcoming projects and to share design tips. Although not a new idea, the design staff has responded positively and I believe the result is a happier, more unified staff.

In summary, Sarah’s professionalism, outstanding eye for graphic design and leadership skills have contributed greatly to the success of our graphic design department and our success in moving forward without a full time manager. I can’t imagine a person more deserving of CNBAM’s Designer of the Year than Sarah Thomsen. She is an amazing student who I believe truly exemplifies the high standards you set for the recipient of this outstanding award.

Sincerely,

Kim Blumhardt Director of Advertising, Rocky Mountain Student Media Kim.blumhardt@colostate.edu

January 24, 2013

Dear CNBAM Awards Committee,

Sarah Thomsen is without a doubt one of the most talented designers I have had the pleasure of working with. Not only is she dedicated to our organization; she is committed to creative excellence. She completely deserves the award for best designer.

Sarah joined our staff as a freshman and began creating unparalleled work. During that time we still had a creative staff media head but she was planning on leaving at the end of the year. This posed a very hard question, who would take on that huge role. We opened it up to the students on the creative staff and out of the three that applied Sarah got it. Since then, I can’t imagine a day without her leading and working on the staff. As student advertising manager I turn to her for so many different projects and last minute ads. She works well under pressure and keeps me sane during crazy workdays.

What stands out the most about Sarah is her body of work. Whenever I need an ad done (and done well) I go to her. She creates work that is professional and innovative, something that I feel is rare to many students. She understands the meaning of balance and can look at a client’s website and create and ad that is perfect for their business. I love the fact that I can give Sarah and ad and let her run with it. I am no creative mastermind and when I give her an ad to be created with minimal instructions, she runs with it and makes something better than I could have imagined.

She is a strong leader and fun staff member. I am happy to have gotten the chance to work with her. She is positive and lighthearted and one of the most genuinely professional members on staff. Sarah deserves the award for best designer 2013.

Sincerely,

Laura Adams Student Advertising Manager

Clark stated in the release.

“We wanted to know if that meant that certain subgroups might be more likely to benefit from reducing those air pollution exposures. Are some people more likely to see health benefits as compared to the rest of the population?”

Specifically, the benefits include reductions in

blood pressure, particularly among older women.

“Cleaner burning stoves have the potential to have a huge impact on global public health,” Peel said. “We need to find a solution that will reduce exposures but also one that meets the families’ needs.”

Stay thirsty, Colorado State University Beverage Business Institute looking to expand its influence

By SEAN MEEDS The Rocky Mountain Collegian

THE DETAILS

As the Beverage Business Institute celebrates its first birthday at CSU this year, the program’s directors have one wish in mind –– that the program will one day have an Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program for students looking to enter the beverage industry.

Currently, the program offers a certificate in Beverage Business Management, with two tracks for participants to choose from: an emphasis in wholesale/distribution management or a focus in brewing operations management.

“As the program first started, the need for a certificate arose,” BBI Director James Francis said. “It eventually morphed into a certificate for professionals who are in the beverage industry.”

In order to obtain a certificate, participants must attend four different workshops set up by the Institute. The workshops are two and a half days in length and feature seminars, guest speakers and tours of local breweries and beverage distributors. Francis also said that they tour the Wal-Mart distribution center to look at their distribution methods.

One factor contributing to the BBI’s need for formal education in the beverage industry comes from its placement in the middle of the “Napa Valley of Beer.”

Northern Colorado has more craft breweries per capita than almost any other region in the US, and according to Francis, there are around 140 microbreweries in the state of Colorado, with 70 more in the planning stages.

He also said that Colorado produces more beer than any other state.

In an email, Assistant Director of the Center for Professional Development and Business Research at the College of Business, Felicia Zamora, said that the BBI is proud to be located where it is.

“There is a reason that this region is called the ‘Napa of Beer,’” she said. “The Beverage Business Institute is another means for this specific niche of industry to remain educated and competitive.”

The BBI is not only expanding its education opportunities, but is also working to further its reach into the Fort Collins and CSU communities. With a grant from High Country Brewing, the BBI will be launching a responsible drinking program to encourage safe drinking practices for students and the Fort Collins community. Francis called it the BBI’s “corporate social responsibility” to spread messages of responsible drinking to students and community members.

Eric Smith, director of sales and marketing at Odell Brewing Company and one of the founding donors of the BBI said that the Institute has the full support of the company when it comes to responsible drinking initiatives.

“We are fully behind any and all responsible drinking measures,” he said.

One other way the BBI has been using its influence to strengthen members of the brewing industry, according to Smith, is by bring-

ing in new people from outside of Fort Collins.

“This allows people to try new beers they never had the chance to drink before,” Smith said. “It gets people used to drinking new drinks.”

Zamora said that if one sector of the beverage industry is successful, everyone else benefits.

“If one craft brewery does well, it brings more attention to the beer industry in general and to the community,” she said. “An entire

city and its other businesses thrive from the success of an individual brewery, and collectively from what breweries offer to the area in terms of exposure, tourism, and community experience.”

The BBI started in the summer of 2011, with its first set of workshops and certificates completed on Aug. 24. The next workshop is scheduled for Nov. 7-9.

He said that Prieto had talent for getting people interested in chemistry, making it more enjoyable.

“It’s been a great experience,” Bates said. “It’s always fun when you can learn together with your advisor as opposed to them teaching you.”

Discipline, execution needed for Rams to improve

By ANDREW SCHALLER The Rocky Mountain Collegian The growing pains early on for the CSU football team and new head coach Jim McElwain have been noticeable throughout the first four games of the season.

On both sides of the ball, the Rams still have a lot of work to do in order to erase the memory of three straight 3-9 seasons.

And what does McElwain say the team needs to work on?

“The fundamentals,” McElwain said. “Match the execution (of other teams), match the effort, match the discipline and detail and exceed that, that’s what we

need to do.”

Particularly on offense, the Rams have struggled to execute — especially in the first half. The Rams scripted the first offensive plays for the upcoming game all week, but still failed to send a man in motion on the first play of the game last week against Utah State, in what was the start of a night to forget for CSU’s offense.

“By the time the game comes, they’ve actually done it nine times,” McElwain said. “Is that an excuse for play one forgetting the motion? Well, maybe we shoulda done it 10.

But I guess (why) I say that is you know, (scripting plays is) something that

we’ve done everywhere I’ve been and we’ve been real successful getting off to fast starts.”

The Rams have yet to get off to a fast start in any of their first four games as their combined score in first quarters this year stands at only 10 points, an average of 2.5 points per game.

According to wide receiver Marquise Law, much of the Rams’ struggles early on in the game have come at the hands of complacency and a lack of urgency when CSU has the ball early on in games.

“I think if we can change our mindsets to either realize that we need to get things going early or to realize like

‘Hey, we’re already down’ at the beginning of the game when it’s 0-0 I think that would make a huge difference,” he said.

Defensively, the Rams have shown what McElwain has referred to as “flashes” of good play, forcing three turnovers last weekend.

However, the defense has failed to consistently stop an opponent for an entire game.

The Rams are ranked No. 86 in pass defense and tied for No. 67 in rushing defense this season among division-I FBS schools.

“We as a defensive core have to be sound for the run and the pass no matter what team we play or what big rivalry game it is,” de-

fensive back Trent Matthews said. “No matter what, we still have to do our job even though in the past we have given up rushing yards or passing yards or so forth, we still have to go out there and try our best, and we will.”

Although the Rams have struggled getting out of the gate in 2012, the season is still only four weeks old, and Mountain West Conference play begins next week against Air Force which will be an opportunity for CSU to get its season back on track.

“Right now, I’m bound and determined to give this fan base some excitement in the win column,” McElwain said. “And that’s the direction we’re headed.”

Redefining the Rams’ big band Largest marching band ever at CSU looks to make history

By CHRISTOPHER BOAN The Rocky Mountain Collegian If the CSU marching band seems a bit louder at Hughes Stadium this year it might be for good reason — the 300 member band is the largest it’s been since its inception in 1901.

One reason for the band’s growth is the scholarship drive that helps more prospective students join the band, which increased by 40 members from the 2011-2012 school year. The growth follows a trend. Each of the past four years have seen record enrollment, a fact that excites Band Director Christopher Nicholas.

“Our enrollment figures in 2009, 2010 and 2011 each set records as the largest (or second largest) band in CSU’s history,” Nicholas said in an email to the Collegian.

“Each year we have been delighted to write a new chapter in the growth of this tradition-rich organization.”

Scholarships have been given to each band member eligible for financial aid since 2009, according to Nicholas. Additionally, 2012 marks the third year that band members in their sec-

ond, third and fourth years of service are provided extra scholarship funding.

Band members say this year will mark a new era, as they try and mesh together new songs with the pageantry and spirit of the past.

“The 2012 CSU Marching Band has taken upon themselves to enhance the game day experience at Hughes Stadium,” said drum major and senior political sciences major Steven Contreras in an email to the Collegian.

“This new initiative gives the crowd new music to enjoy and allows the band members to learn more exciting music throughout the entirety of the fall performance season.”

This enhanced experience includes added shows at the Lincoln Center on Sept. 29 and a trip to perform in the 2013 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland.

“We play many events already, and try to select a repertoire that is adaptable to each of those environments,” said Associate Band Director Richard Frey in an email to the Collegian. “The band started here over 100 years ago, they have worked incredibly hard with the sole

purpose of supporting our teams, entertaining crowds and representing CSU in the very best way.”

The band’s storied history includes numerous awards and performances with bands like the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Contreras believes the band’s future is bright and to expect more and more major events in the future.

“The 2012 season is setting the foundation for a

new exciting time for the CSU Marching Band,” Contreras said. “Our future is a chapter that we are truly excited about and will be a testament to our hard work and performance of today.”

This foundation has been built around a sense of school pride that aims at showing off CSU to a new audience.

“We want the CSU student body to know that we take the mission of representing them and the university to heart in everything we

do,” Contreras added. “We hope that our efforts and recognition does not only showcase the marching band, but introduces the power of CSU to a new audience of fans.”

Senior Assistant Melissa Gross says CSU students should support the band either at an event or during rehearsals.

“The band is a great organization to be part of here at CSU! The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive,” Gross said. “We love supporting the

The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Thursday, September 20, 2012

“I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody has a shot.”

Barrack Obama | U.S. President

Redistribution of wealth fuels campaign’s divide

By STEVEN THOMMA The McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney moved Wednesday to broaden the presidential campaign into a debate over the redistribution of wealth from one group to another, a move aided by the release of a recording of a young Barack Obama supporting that goal.

Born of Romney’s need to pivot out of the brouhaha over a recording of his own remarks, the move nonetheless highlighted a fundamental question over spending that underlies the election choice between Obama and the Democrats, who favor an expansive role for government, and Romney and the Republicans, who want to curb the government’s role.

The debate over how much to tax some Americans and how much to give to others is hardly new, dating at least to the birth of the progressive income tax a century ago and the New Deal creation of a government safety net for the needy in the 1930s.

But it comes now at a time when the number of American households receiving help from the government has jumped — and the issue drives the biggest wedge between Democrats and Republicans in an already polarized electorate.

It was aggravated by the release of a video showing Romney earlier this year disparaging the Americans who receive government

help, and then a recording of Obama in 1998 saying he supported the idea of redistribution of wealth.

“Under President Obama, we have a stagnant economy that fosters government dependency,” Romney said in an op-ed article Wednesday in USA Today. “My policies will create a growing economy that fosters upward mobility.”

His running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, was more pointed.

“Mitt Romney and I are not running to redistribute the wealth, Mitt Romney and I are running to help Americans create wealth,” Ryan said at a rally in Danville, Va. They were referring to the recording released this week of Obama talking about government spending while a state senator in Illinois.

“The trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources, and hence facilitate some redistribution, because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody has a shot,” Obama said.

Though he does not now use the term “redistribution,” Obama does broadly embrace the idea of government marshaling money from others to help the needy. “We’ve got some obligations to each other,” he said this week on CBS’s “Late Show With David Letterman.”

“And there’s nothing wrong with us giving each

other a helping hand.”

Government spending to help people has shot up over the last three decades, through administrations of both political parties.

By one measure, 49.1 percent of Americans lived last year in a household that received some government benefits, according to a study of census data by the Wall Street Journal. That was up from 30 percent in the 1980s and even from the 44.4 percent in the third quarter of 2008.

Some get checks from programs such as Social Security and Medicare, which are financially supported by payroll taxes from younger Americans.

Others get checks or help from programs tied to income, such as Medicaid, food stamps and housing assistance. About 92 million Americans, nearly one out of three, lived in a household receiving those types of government help in 2009, according to the census.

One of the fastest growing programs is food stamps, now issued to nearly 47 million Americans.

Spending for food stamps has more than doubled over the last four years to a record $76 billion.

That increase was driven in part by the recession and the drop of incomes since then. Also, eligibility or benefits were expanded, under both parties, in 2002, 2008 and 2009.

The spike in food stamp costs has stymied Congress, where a dispute between the House and the Senate

over how to cut back has stalled the farm bill.

White House press secretary Jay Carney sidestepped questions Wednesday about Obama’s comments supporting redistribution of wealth, suggesting it was all part of a “desperate” attempt by Romney to change the subject from his own recorded comments.

He said that Obama “believed then and believes now that there are steps we can take to promote opportunity and ensure that all Americans have a fair shot if they work hard.”

However, few federal programs require work. And Carney referred to popular programs such as Medicare and Social Security, which mostly target the retired and the elderly. He did not mention federal programs aimed at the poor or working poor.

Ultimately, what Carney was trying to avoid was a debate that is one of the most divisive in U.S. politics.

In a recent survey, the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found 65 percent of Democrats believe the government should spend more to help needy people even if it means more debt, while 20 percent of Republicans feel the same way.

That 45-point gap is among the widest between regular people who call themselves Democrat or Republican.

Concluded Pew: “There already were sizeable partisan gaps … these differences have widened considerably.”

HP takes huge quarterly earnings hit from low demand

By PETE CAREY and BRANDON BAILEY The McClatchy Tribune SAN JOSE, Calif. _ Hewlett-Packard Co. delivered a sobering earnings report Wednesday, as accounting charges forced it to declare the biggest quarterly loss in its history. And with sales down in all its major divisions, CEO Meg Whitman warned of tough times ahead.

"We're on a journey here," said Whitman, who has repeatedly warned that HP will need several years to turn its business around.

HP, the world's largest PC-maker, has struggled with slowing demand as more consumers opt to buy tablets and mobile phones instead of computers. Its other business divisions are also challenged. Since taking over as CEO 11 months ago, Whitman has vowed to push the company to develop new tech products that are both innovative and profitable, but she has not yet reversed a steady decline in the company's revenue.

Whitman said Wednesday that the company has

made progress but also faces many challenges, among them organizational issues, economic conditions in western Europe and Asia, a sales effort that is "not where it should be" and competitive difficulties in its software, networking and services businesses.

The $8.9 billion third-quarter loss was not unexpected. The Palo Alto, Calif., company disclosed last month that it would be taking a massive loss because of one-time charges, including a $9.2 billion write-down on paper related to its 2008 acquisition of tech services provider EDS and its earlier purchase of PC-maker Compaq. Under accounting rules, companies typically must take a write-down on what's called "goodwill" when the business value of a large acquisition declines from the price for which it was purchased.

The loss also includes $1.8 billion in restructuring charges, primarily severance payments related to cutting its workforce. More people are taking early retirements than expected this year. Ul-

timately, the company plans to trim 27,000 jobs by 2014.

Absent those charges, HP said it would have earned $2 billion in profit on its $29.7

exceeding guidance by delivering adjusted earnings of $1 per share.

HP's stock fell more than 4 percent in late trading af-

“Overall we have a very long way to go but we are taking steps to fix the problem and help Autonomy succeed.”

Meg Whitman | (CEO of HP) billion in revenue for the quarter.

A more recent problem with an acquisition is the performance of the British software company Autonomy, bought for $10.3 billion under prior CEO Leo Apotheker. HP has struggled to increase sales and profit in that unit. "Overall we have a very long way to go, but we are taking steps to fix the problem and help Autonomy succeed," Whitman said.

Despite these issues, Whitman called it "a decent quarter," with the company

ter the report. Analyst Jayson Noland at the Robert W. Baird & Co. investment firm said investors were reacting to grim news on several fronts.

The company revised its earnings forecast for the rest of the year, saying it expects to earn between $4.05 and $4.07 a share, excluding

one-time costs, which is at the lower end of its previous target.

Even the greater-than-expected number of employees who opted for early retirement was a good-news, bad-news situation, Noland said. While that will help HP lower its costs, he explained, "you'd rather hear that employees are really committed and think there are wonderful opportunities ahead and they don't want to leave."

Whitman is attempting a major remake of the company and "she generally seems to be doing the right things, given the cards she's been dealt," Noland said, adding that Whitman appears to be streamlining the company's consumer business and investing strategically in expanding the "enterprise" segments that sell hardware, software and services to big corporate

customers.

But he agreed with Whitman that a turnaround "doesn't happen overnight."

"There are companies with a lower cost structure, like Lenovo, and there are companies that have been much more innovative, like Apple," he said. HP is "kind of caught in the middle, trying to invest in innovation and cut costs at the same time."

While HP's earnings were better than Wall Street expected, the company reported sales were down in all of its major segments. Its PC sales fell 10 percent. Revenue from commercial computing hardware was down 4 percent. And sales for both the printing and technology services divisions fell 3 percent.

Only the software division, which contributes a tiny slice of HP's revenue, saw sales rise 18 percent, to $973 million.

“I think Joe and Regina are a little more conscious about how students look at things and how our role impacts them.”

Robert Harris | Senator from the College of Natural Science

ASCSU |

Promises kept by ASCSU leadership this year

Continued from Page 1 campus stadium and report them to university officials.

Student government said it will continue to provide additional opportunities for students to voice concerns about CSU President Tony Frank’s decision to build the facility.

“We really want to make sure that all concerns are voiced,” Martel said. “We have a great relationship with Dr. Frank currently and as problems arise we will be sure to voice those concerns to him.”

The administration has also collected student opinion by holding a finance forum Oct. 1 on the Lory Student Center Plaza, designed to give ASCSU an idea of CSU’s thoughts on subjects like tuition and fees. Martel said ASCSU did not record how many students participated and hasn’t yet reflected on the forum’s findings, having focused instead on preparing for the most recent Homecoming Weekend.

Another finance forum will be held on Oct. 17.

“I think Joe and Regina are a little more conscious about how students look at things and how our role impacts them,” said Robert Harris, a senator from the College of Natural Science.

“They have taken steps necessary to make sure student voice is being heard.”

Student government has also reformed the Student Fee Review Board –– a group of students that approves or denies fee increase proposals –– to have 50 percent of its staff belong to the ASCSU Senate.

The change is part of a larger push on behalf of Martel and Eden to encourage student senators to take their positions more seriously. On top of giving the ASCSU officials more responsibility, the administration has also strictly enforced senate attendance and start times, said Chelsey Green, a senator from the College of Natural Science.

“In the past, that's been a problem of people just meandering in after talking on

their phones or something,” she said.

Promises still in the works include bringing a bike share program, also known as the Bike Library, to CSU’s campus, creating a “green, greener, greenest” rubric by which to grade student government-funded events’ environmental friendliness, creating a new dispatch system for RamRide, improving campus Wi-Fi, putting the Test File online and creating a syllabi sharing website.

Martel said she hopes to complete the remaining promises by the beginning of next semester.

“We know there are a lot of flaws in the student government right now,” Green said. “I feel as though they have made good grounds in improvement and I believe they are striving toward that goal of having a better functioning student government as a whole.”

Dining halls cater to students with restricted diets DEVIN O’BRIEN Rocky Mountain Collegian The dining halls are negotiating peace between allergies and bellies.

CSU Housing and Dining Services has a variety of different foods and resources available on-campus for students with restricted diets or food allergies –– but it hasn’t always been that way and sometimes, it isn’t enough.

Frustration was sophomore biology major Emily Mohr’s dining companion last year. Allergic to wheat and tree nuts, Mohr talked about her dismay at the lack of a way to identify foods with allergens during the 20112012 academic year. This has changed this semester.

“This year they’re a lot better because they have an icon system,” Mohr said.

The six labels used in this icon system are vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, local product, eat well and contains nuts.

Some dining halls also have an allergen-free line in addition to a refrigerator containing gluten-free foods.

However, in Mohr’s experience, the fare on most nights consist mostly of chicken and rice. She also said sometimes the line would only have veg-

Many dining halls have incorporated several ways of ensuring that students with allergies are safe from having their food contaminated by allergens.

The Worry Free Line such as this one at Ram’s Horn is one of the many ways the dining halls are keeping their students safe.

etables available due to lack of other food.

One option for students with dietary restrictions is to meet with Brittney Stuard, nutrition and employment manager for Residential Dining Services. During

these free consultations, Stuard helps students create lists of foods they’re able to eat and can provide a full menu to plan daily meals.

Specialized and restricted diets are important to planning menu items. Se-

nior Executive Chef Cynthia Lategan said peanuts are used only in bakeshop items. Peanuts are replaced with a similar food, like cashews.

In the Edwards building bakeshop, the gluten-free

baked goods are made late at night in a separate room, to avoid contamination, according to Senior Executive Chef Peter Testory.

This consideration for preparation extends beyond baked goods. Students can

get special sandwiches at the Sports Grill, Braiden and Corbett.

“We whip out a special board and a special knife that we use for gluten-free sandwiches,” Lategan said.

Foods for religious diets are also being developed.

Testory and Lategan are currently conducting research on how to prepare, and train employees in the preparation of, Halal food. The cuisine is meat “slaughtered or prepared in the manner prescribed by Islamic law” according to dictionary.com.

A tool for students provided by the Housing and Dining Services website is the Nutritional Calculator.

This program lets students see nutritional information of both individual and grouped items.

Allergen-free lines are located in Corbett and Ram’s Horn. Nutrition Center computer terminals can be found in the Ram’s Horn, Braiden and Corbett dining halls, according to Lategan.

Off-campus housing at CSU

BY AMANDA ZETAH The Rocky Mountain Collegian After the first year in the dorms, students are on their own. They are faced with the overwhelming task of finding a place to live for the next three years of college. Some students stay in the same place for the rest of their college careers, but others shop around.

“We have about a 15 percent renewal rate each year and I believe we have 4 to 5 residents who are onto their third and fourth years with us,” said Rachael Carlberg, the accounts manager at Rams’ Pointe apartments.

The Off-Campus Life office is located in the Lory Student Center and is available to make the transition easier for students. They provide a wide variety of services for students to prepare them for renting their first house or apartment, like party registration and information about U+2, the Fort Collins law forbidding more than three unrelated people to live in the same home. According to the Fort Collins website, 37.69 percent of students live in an apartment, while 33.85 percent live in an off-campus house.

Although the numbers are not far off, it appears that apartments are the more popular choice. Jeannie Ortega, the director of off-campus life at CSU, said “apartment complexes attract huge numbers of students.”

By AUSTIN BRIGGS The Rocky Mountain Collegian The 2,225 proposals for research money that CSU faculty sent out last year was time well spent. The university hauled in a record $340 million in research funding ending fiscal year 2012.

The $340 million is up $10 million from the previous record of $330 million recorded in 2011.

The record-breaking year also puts CSU on the map nationally. The $340 million makes it second in the nation in research expenditures among public universities without a medical school.

“Seeing research expenditures continue to grow is an important indicator of success at CSU,” said university spokesman Mike Hooker. “Even at a time when other resources have shrunk, this shows that people are confident in CSU to continue to provide world class research in a variety of fields.”

Senate seats empty

STRIP CLUB

Torrential rains are not very common in Colorado.

At most the state gets a few inches over the course of a few weeks, or none at all. It is a downside to living in a desert.

But, on those rare occasions where we do get rain, there are some things that you can do.

By CARRIE MOBLEY The Rocky Mountain Collegian About 30 percent of the seats in the Associated Students of CSU Senate remain unfilled after the student government made an effort to boost involvement this semester.

Currently, there are two colleges still struggling to fill seats. Applied Human Sciences has one seat out of five filled, and Intra-University has one out of four filled, according to ASCSU President Regina Martel.

Earlier in the year Billy Raddell, director of university affairs and academics at ASCSU, had reported that an entire college, Applied Human Sciences, had not filled any Senate seats, which reflected a need in a change of atmosphere in the student government.

Raddell said that after he pointed this out, student government made an effort to fill these seats.

“We made a conscious decision at our retreat that we needed to close the gap between Senate and the college councils,” he said. “We ultimately decided to do that by visiting each college council individually and speaking to them about it.”

The senate started off the year with 17 of the 39 seats filled, and since then has filled 10 open seats. At this time last year 16 of the seats were filled.

“We had Dr. Frank speak at our senate meeting last Wednesday, and I was worried that the senate room would look empty,” Martel said. “I think it was more full that night than I’ve ever seen it.”

Other ASCSU members have noticed the change as well.

Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan speaks for his campaign at Walker Manufacturing, a local lawn mower manufacture, on E. Harmony Rd. in Fort Collins Wednesday. Ryan spoke in support of small businesses and the state of the nation’s economy.

Ryan campaigns for a ‘Real Recovery’

By KATE SIMMONS The Rocky Mountain Collegian On a campaign stop in Timnath Wednesday, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan spoke to a crowd of hundreds under a sign reading “We Need Real Recovery.”

A long line of cold Coloradans twisted through the parking lot at Walker Mowers, a family-owned tractor manufacturing warehouse on East Harmony. Vendors hawked buttons and t-shirts reading, “We Built It” and “OMG: Obama Must Go.” Volunteers walked the line with voter registration sheets.

Attendees who made it inside to see Ryan speak, passed through security and cramped into the warehouse.

A stage had been set up between scaffolding that still held plastic wrapped tractor equipment.

“I think he chose this venue to target the whole community, not just CSU students,” said Amanda McGowan, a sophomore biology major.

Campus Republicans passed out 120 tickets to students on campus the day before Ryan’s speech, McGowan said.

The crowd consisted mostly of middle-aged people but some children stood with their parents gripping Romney/Ryan campaign signs and a few college-aged attendees were scattered through the crowd. There was also an area designated at the back for wheelchairs.

“I would have liked to see more students here,” freshman social work major Caitlin Riggs said. “This is one of the most important elections in history and I don’t think 18-24 year-olds understand the impact of their vote. I really didn’t see many college students here.”

Before speeches began, Jamie O’Neil sang hits like “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. She also changed the words of her own song, “When I Think About Angels” to fit the campaign message.

As attendees arrived, “When I think of angels I think of Paul Ryan,” could be heard echoing through the rafters.

Rachel Drechsler, senior political

science major and treasurer for CSU Campus Republicans, was one of the people that introduced Mitt Romney’s running mate. Campus Republicans President Brad Dick and Vice President Tyler Marr also spoke.

“His values line up with what I believe,” Drechsler told the Collegian after the speech. “Romney and Ryan are going to help create a better America for tomorrow.”

Before elaborating on campaign goals, Ryan talked about how important it is for people to vote.

This election, he said, is especially

Roy explained that the reason behind the focus on cancer was because it’s a disease that can be unnerving for anyone involved, be it family members or family pets.

Homecoming and Family Weekend

The first Homecoming was October 30, 1914, founded by then President Charles Lory as a banquet for alumni. According to the 1914 Collegian, it was a relatively small affair, and the theme was “1944”, where everyone dressed up as if it were 30 years in the future.

Homecoming became a more prominent event for students and alumni in the 1930s. The weekend festivities started with a morning assembly, a freshmen initiation to the campus, the announcement of Homecoming royalty, a parade, and an evening dance. All of this preceded the main event of the weekend, the Homecoming football game.

In the years since, Homecoming has blossomed into a much broader event that includes: ➤ Family Weekend activities ➤ Class and organizational reunions ➤ The 50 Year Club ➤ Reunion on the Oval ➤ The parade, which starts in Old Town and concludes on campus ➤ Bonfire, fireworks, and the lighting of the ‘A’ ➤ 5K race ➤ Football tailgate

High altitude – be aware Fort Collins sits 4,984 feet above sea level, so visitors should take some precautions. There’s less oxygen at high altitude, so take it easy and remember to drink plenty of water. If you’re going to be outdoors for any length of time, particularly during the spring and summer months, remember to apply sunscreen. Skin burns easily in the thin air.

Colorado State University | Fort Collins 21

Bicycling Love bikes? Great news, you’re going to love Fort Collins’ bike culture. With over 30 miles of paved bike trails within the Fort Collins city limits, most of which are connected to each other; it’s possible to bike just about anywhere without ever hitting busy streets.

In Town Trails Fossil Creek Trail The Fossil Creek Trails runs, for more than five miles, between the Spring Creek Trail and Fossil Creek Reservoir. This trail is perfect if you are hoping to spot some wildlife during your visit as the trail cuts through the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area.

Mason Trail This trail is best if you are looking for a safe way to navigate Fort Collins on your bike without encountering motorists. Running for almost four miles from Prospect Road to South of Harmony Road this is a great option for those who prefer to bike instead of drive.

Poudre Trail This scenic trail stretches for more than 10 miles from Overland Trail at Lyons Park to East Drake at the Environmental Learning Center along the Cache la Poudre River. This trail is expected to expand towards I-25 over the next several years.

Power Trail The Power Trail begins at Edora Park in east Fort Collins and continues south to Golden Meadows Park, north of Harmony road for more than three miles.

This scenic trail runs along the historic Union Pacific Railroad.

Bike Safe - be aware

If you’re planning to ride your bicycle while in Fort Collins, which we highly recommend, keep Colorado bike laws in mind. Share the road. Never assume a car can see you. Headlights, tail lights, and reflectors are required at night. Also remember that under Colorado State Law riding a bike intoxicated can still result in a DUI.

Beet Street’s “Streetmosphere” keeps the summer humming with dozens of local musicians performing classical, jazz, country, bluegrass, and pop as well as “dancers, actors, comedians, jugglers, magicians, painters, weavers, and even a cowboy poet.” Those smaller events are a nice addition to what seems like an never-ending list of outdoor concerts and festivals, including Bohemian Nights, a late-summer mashup of 80 local and national music acts playing across the downtown area over three nights.

But it doesn’t end there, because Fort Collins is considered Colorado’s new hotspot for live music year-round. Venues in and around Old Town feature everything from country and acoustic to dubstep, hiphop and indie rock. Many local bars, cafes and restaurants also showcase local talent, including musicians, poets, and comedians.

January 16, 2013 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing a letter of recommendation for Tricia Dunn for the 2013 CNBAM Best Designer title. I currently work alongside Tricia at The Daily Athenaeum as the Student Business Manager for the Sales Department and have known her both in and outside of work for over two years.

In the time that I have worked with Tricia she has handled two positions one being a designer and the other as a head student position of Foreman. Both positions require different daily tasks and responsibilities that Tricia has mastered and achieved new techniques to make them run smoothly.

As a Designer Tricia has shown outstanding talent and has risen above and beyond the everyday requirements to create great advertisements that are visually appealing while delivering the advertiser’s message in a creative way. She has personally designed a majority of my client’s ads and I have only ever received good comments from them. The thing that sets Tricia apart is that she never turns her creativity off and always thinks of new ways to improve different types of ads to make them trendy and catchy to the student body. She is notorious for making Spec ads before an advertiser even thinks of running. With these Spec ads I have been able to display the graphic design quality of the DA Designing staff and bring in a substantial amount of new clients.

As a Foreman Tricia makes sure that the layout process of the newspaper stays on track and doesn’t run into any type of rut. If something is missing or does go array she personally will approach the problem and make sure it is resolved from start to finish. She is able to manage the Designing Staff with equal fairness and always offering to help in any way she can. When Tricia is Foreman we work as a great team to get the layout completed for the upcoming day. She has become close with the entire Sales Staff and always helps me out with making sure ads are where they need to be and set properly.

During this past summer Tricia took on the project to design our new Media Kit which hasn’t had any real changes made to it for the past seven years. She stayed in Morgantown to make sure it was completed on time and had a completely new look. What she came up with was both artistic and displayed our selling medias in a clear and new visual aspect that was easier for the client to read and the Sales Representative to sell. She created certain graphics from scratch and arranged each bit of information in a specific order that seemed to flow together like a good book.

I believe Tricia to be the best possible choice for the title of Best Designer for the 2013 CNBAM Conference because of her strong commitment to excellence in the field along with her creative passion for designing new ways of advertisement even when she is off the clock, which to me is the definition of a great Designer.

Sincerely, Valerie K. Bennett Student Business Manager The Daily Athenaeum 304-293-4141

January 14, 2013 Best Designer CNBAM 2013 Category: It is with great pleasure to recommend Tricia Dunn for the Best Designer, 2013 CNBAM AWARDS. Tricia has worked, in the Advertising Production Department for the last 2 years. Tricia started working for me as a designer and quickly moved to the position of foreman designer. As a foreman Tricia is required to manage the day’s work by assigning ads to other designers, to ensure the day’s work flow does just that, “flows smoothly” and is completed by deadline and sending the pages to the news department.

Tricia is always eager to help with any procedure of the advertising process here at The Daily Athenaeum.

From helping the other designers with the computer programs we use, to design concepts. The other designers seem to feed off of her passion of the graphics design field.

As an Artist/Designer Tricia has an outstanding talent and unlimited creativity. Tricia is always coming up with stylish and appealing ads for our clients. Her creativity seems endless, it always amazes me with the concepts she comes up with. Tricia is the one designer that the entire sales staff as well as our customers request to do their ads.

Tricia has taken on several other projects over the past year to help improve The Daily Athenaeum, and promote the paper in a more modern image. The largest project was redesigning our Media Kit which includes our Rate Card, Special Event Flyers, and our 125th Year logo as well as participating in the promotional events The Daily Athenaeum attended across campus. Tricia also took on the challenge of taking photographs for some of our customers, even though she just started photography in her design classes, our customers were very pleased with her work. I am confident that Tricia will excel in the design world after her graduation and don’t be surprised if you are not reading about her designs.

With all the talent and professionalism Tricia displays here at The Daily Athenaeum I can whole heartedly recommend her for the 2013 CNBAM Best Designer Award.

Sincerely,

Jami A. Christopher Production & Systems Manager The Daily Athenaeum 304-293-0082

WVU grad set to reveal, redefine W.Va.

BY CARLEE LAMMERS CITY EDITOR

When Elaine McMillion sees McDowell County she sees beyond a hollow and broken community – she sees potential to empower and redefine rural America.

McMillion, a southern West Virginia native and West Virginia University alumna, along with five other W.Va. natives will live and work in McDowell County this summer and produce the interactive documentary “Hollow.” “‘Hollow’ will be an interac-

“These issues will be faced, and these stories will be told

through the eyes of the people that live there.”

Community members will take part in the filmmaking process by learning how to create their own documentaries and balloon maps to tell their personal stories.

In 1950, when the coal market was booming, McDowell County was named “the nation’s coal bin” and home to nearly 100,000 people. Today, only 22,000 remain.

According to demographers, the 10 communities that make up McDowell County are just years away

from extinction, McMillion said.

“When industry abandons the people who made it great, it leaves behind a lot more questions than answers,” McMillion said. “The population loss is just too severe in my opinion. It’s a personal issue for all of us, and we want to do what we can to help the future generations.”

“Hollow” will also aim to empower and give voice to those who in the past have had none, she said.

“A lot of people are curious as to why we chose McDowell

County. It can’t seem to catch a break. If they’re not the third unhealthiest in the state, they’re the highest for overdose rates. This is a place to defy stereotypes and engage in joining together on these serious issues,” she said. “This is a chance to empower citizens and let them know that they can tell their own stories.”

With all of the hardship this area has endured, McMillion said she hopes “Hollow” will spark communication and trust within the local community – and ultimately the nation.

WVU Gender Equality Movement Takes Back the Night, demands a safer campus

BY CARLEE LAMMERS CITY EDITOR

Shatter the silence and stop the violence.

Members of the West Virginia University Gender Equality Movement hosted a “Take Back the Night” event Thursday to raise awareness of sexual assault, domestic abuse and rape, as well as demand a safer campus. “ Violence on college campuses is so prevalent,”

said GEM coordinator Melissa Chesanko. “One in four women will survive a sexual assault on a college campus, and it doesn’t help them to have that feeling of ‘I feel alone’, so we try to build a community.”

The event included a performance by spoken word artist Crystal Leigh Endsley, a march to end violence, a candlelight vigil to honor survivors and victims and a speak out in which participants had

the opportunity to share their personal stories.

Senior criminology student Brittany Andrews said she believes the issues of rape and sexual assault are not stressed heavily enough.

“This is an issue that is so serious, but not a lot of people bring attention to it, so I think it’s good to raise awareness,” she said. “I feel like there just isn’t a lot of information about it on this campus.”

Chesanko said she believes

in order to eliminate violence on campus, students must undergo a shift in perspective on sexuality.

“I think a shift in perspective is necessary. We need to change our attitude on gender culture that is prevalent on so many college campuses. We need to eliminate sexism,” she said. “It’s a much bigger picture than just teaching people something – that’s

“Lots of students get job offers through alumni. You never know where you could meet someone who can land you a job,” she said.

Admission was free for the event, and dinner was provided.

Students also received vouchers for two free drinks at the bar, and beer on tap was available.

Participants’ names were put into a raffle for prizes including season basketball and football tickets, WVU apparel and an iPad.

The Morgantown event was the first to feature two new keynote speakers of the series, Candace Bahr and Ginita Wall.

Bahr has been named one of the top ten financial advisors by Registered Rep., a leading financial industry magazine.

She is the managing partner of Bahr Investment Group, and she is a successful entrepreneur and wealth manager with more than twenty years of experience.

Wall was named one of the top 250 financial advisors in the country by “Worth” magazine eight years in a row and specializes in guiding people through difficult life transitions including divorce and widowhood.

The two women created the Women’s Institute for Financial Education and cowrote a book titled “It’s More Than Money – It’s Your Life!”

Free copies of the book were handed out at the event.

Huggins’ cancer fund receives local grant

BY JESSICA LEAR STAFF WRITER

The Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at West Virginia University has received $6,250 for the Norma Mae Huggins Endowment Fund from Little General Stores, Inc., which received a grant from British Petroleum.

Little General received money for the Huggins Cancer Research Fund and Toys for Tots as part of BP’s Fueling Communities program, which provides local organizations with money to promote health, education, youth, food or housing.

The money from Little General and funds Coach Huggins has already raised will go directly toward supporting cancer clinical trials at the MBRCC, said Scot Remick, director of the Cancer Center.

Conference gives women financial tips, confidence The West Virginia University Erickson Alumni Center hosted the 29th annual Women & Money conference Thursday morning for more than 100 women eager to learn how to have a successful financial future.

The conference was designed to empower the attendees to make smart financial decisions. Presentations at the event covered topics like retirement, getting out of debt, saving for college and creating a balanced budget.

West Virginia State Treasurer John Perdue said he brought the series to Morgantown to reach University students.

“I think it’s critical that students start learning at a very young age about how to put a budget together, that a credit card is not their answer and a new car when they get out of college is not their answer,” Perdue said.

“They have to figure out how to manage their money and save for their future. By doing that, they would be able to take care of themselves in

TODAY’S PUZZLE SOLVED

“The problems in McDowell County are far too severe, but we hope it starts to spark dialogue. We think that communication builds trust, and the more neighbors talk to each other, the better sense of community it builds,” she said.

“Th e social fabric has been ripped there. We want to get the community to start talking together again, then take their ideas and use them to empower those in other places.”

Remick said Huggins has undoubtedly played a big part in getting the community involved.

“Coach Huggins has raised nearly one million dollars through the Norma Mae Huggins Endowment Fund to support cancer clinical trials at MBRCC,” Remick said.

“A significant portion of these funds has been matched by the West Virginia Research Trust Fund.”

Remick said the money raised by the Norma Mae Huggins Endowment Fund will be put to good use as the health care professionals at the center diligently search for an end to cancer.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

appearance.

Tonight: Enjoy the one you are with.

BORN TODAY You have a very appealing manner that draws many people to you. However, because you are surrounded by so many admirers, often jealousy comes into play. Be careful as to what you promise, and make sure you are clear about your expectations and desires. If you are single, you might commit to someone, only to suddenly find the bond volatile. Try to avoid commitment this year. If you are attached, the two of you often find that you disagree.

Learn to respect your sweetie’s perspective, and peace will be restored. PISCES spends money differently than you do.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★★ You see a situation much differently than a partner. Through what might be animated conversation, you come to terms.

If you detach, you see this person’s caring. Otherwise, anger could be the result. Know you are cared about. Tonight: Catch up on calls.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★ Take a serious look at a schedule change.

You clearly cannot do as you desire with your present commitments. Though you may not see the path immediately, it is there. Brainstorm with a buddy. Tonight: Buy something for your home or roommate.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★ Be sensitive to your needs financially. A close partner might have a different perspective and interests. This person has a very caring manner that often ropes you in.

Know your limits, and be willing to say “no.” Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★★ Make calls, schedule meetings and do not forget to make or confirm weekend plans. You could be overwhelmed by all that you have to do. News coming in from a distance could trigger a strong reaction.

Sort fact from fiction. Tonight: You don’t have to go far,

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ You might want to pull back and get a better understanding of a friendship. This person sometimes goes overboard. Anger develops when you least expect it.

Could someone expect more than you can give? Tonight: Get some R and R. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★★★ Being driven points a venture toward success. Another person’s creative idea might backfire. No matter how nice you are when you nix this concept, the end results could be volatile. Do not spend too much energy on this issue. Tonight: Find your friends.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★ Be as upbeat as you can when dealing with a higher-up or boss. Listen to feedback.

On a personal level, your home life could be disruptive. Do not take the events here into your professional life. Focus on your public image. Tonight: A must

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★ Recognize how easily triggered you are. Pull back rather than lose your temper. Words spoken could cause a problem and cannot be taken back. A partner or another person you are financially tied to triggers strong reactions. Tonight: The only answer is yes.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★ Sitting on strong feelings could be difficult.

Pick and choose the timing to release your aggravation. Go back to the original issue. Others keep requesting your help with various projects. Toss yourself into at least one. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★★ You are all smiles, no matter how you look at a situation. A friend might be aggressive about you pursuing a certain path. You know how to say no, but in this case, it might not be heard. Trust your judgment.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★ Only you can decide what to do with your funds. You do not always have to defer to a partner. You care a lot about this person, regardless of how volatile he or she might be, yet you do not have to say yes all the time. Tonight: Make sure your budget is in the plus column.

Pearls Before Swine

CROSSWORD

by Stephan Pastis

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★★ Beam in others. Make a decision about who would be best to go to an event or begin a project with. Honor what you feel, and it all works out. One person could become quite irritated. You cannot change his or her reaction, but you also do not need to react! Tonight: Do your own thing.

BORN TODAY Army general Douglas MacArthur (1880), black activist Angela Davis (1944), guitarist Eddie Van Halen (1955)

TERMS AND POLICIES Out-of-town and new advertising accounts must pre-pay for advertising until credit is established. All political, “closing”, and “going out of business” advertising must be prepaid. To establish a credit account, an advertiser is required to complete a credit application and pre-pay until credit has been verified. (Please allow 30 days for approval.)

All accounts which have been granted billing privileges are allowed 30 days past the billing date to pay the balance in full. All balances not paid in 30 days are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month. Any errors on billing invoices must be brought to management’s attention within 30 days of receipt of invoice. In the case of a disputed charge, the remainder of the balance due should be paid along with written notification for the reason of the amount withheld. No adjustment will be made for errors that do not materially affect the value of the advertisement. Advertising which has minor discrepancies such as misspelling or small type transposition, but which do not affect the ability of the reader to respond to the ad will be considered substantially correct and full payment will be required. The Daily Athenaeum is not responsible for advertisements which do not appear. All negotiations regarding a complaint are dealt with on an individual basis and must be personally approved by the director.

Accounts not paid in 120 days from billing date are considered delinquent and will be turned over for collection at the accountant’s discretion. No advertising will be accepted on delinquent accounts until the balance is paid.

The Daily Athenaeum retains the right to refuse any ad for any reason. All advertising phraseology and/or subject matter is subject to editing, altering, approval, or rejection by the student business manager and the student ad/editorial board of The Daily Athenaeum.

Ads created by The Daily Athenaeum will be available for proofing prior to publication. Proof service is to correct typographical errors and deviations from the original layout- not for alterations, size changes, or additions of new copy. When proofs are delivered, responsibility for correction is that of the advertiser. Upon approval, The Daily Athenaeum is no longer liable for errors. Additional charges may be assessed for more than two proof changes.

Positioning of advertisements in the paper will be done on a request basis and handled as such. Requests for positions will be honored when possible but no page position can be guaranteed. Any standard advertising position may be purchased at 25% of the cost of said advertisement when possible (minimum advertising size will be 10 inches). Positions will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.

Advertising simulating news can be set in body type, but must carry the word “advertisement”. Normally, no display advertising will be published upside down, sideways, or in any other manner that is not in the keeping with good, traditional newspaper make-up.

DISTRIBUTION The Daily Athenaeum is distributed at 378 locations in and around both the Evansdale and Downtown campuses, reaching the entire University community of some 35,000. Our market includes students, faculty, staff, Morgantown residents, and visitors to campus.

WVU officially joins Big 12

BY NICK ARTHUR

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

After months of anticipation, it finally became official Sunday.

West Virginia University departed from the Big East Conference to join the Big 12 Conference.

Hundreds of Mountaineer athletes, coaches and guests gathered to celebrate the memorable day in institution history.

“It’s a great day to be a

Mountaineer in Morgantown,” said newly named Mountaineer Mascot Jonathan Kimble. “All the athletes and coaches have been excited for this for a long time.

It’s going to be a great year.”

In attendance were not only the athletes and coaches, but also WVU President James P. Clements, Athletic Director Oliver Luck and Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.

Luck was the first of the three to address the crowd and feels the Mountaineers

are prepared both academically and athletically to contend in their new conference.

“We’re embarking on a big adventure, and we’re going to have a lot of fun doing it,” Luck said. “I feel very comfortable that as we raise the bar for athletic programs at our University that we will be able to compete and compete very well.”

President Clements didn’t take long at the podium to compliment Luck on his hard work to help guide the Uni-

versity in the difficult times of conference realignment in collegiate athletics.

“How about a round of applause for the best athletic director in the country,” Clements said.

With athletics as the main determinant of the destination for universities around the country during realignment, Clements doesn’t feel the other side of the equation should be overlooked.

“We’re a partner in athletics, but we’re also a partner in

academics,” he said. “The Big 12 is thrilled to have us. They know we’re a wonderful fit…

We will make the Big 12 very proud to have West Virginia as a member.”

Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who was named to his position in early May, is also new to the Big 12.

But, with stints in conferences such as the Big 10 and the Pac-12 as an athletic director, Bowlsby understands what it takes to compete at a high level and realizes the

PART OF THE FAMILY

Mountaineers will have to make adjustments.

“We are very excited to have TCU and West Virginia joining this league. You’re joining a very rich heritage, and you bring your own rich heritage along with it,” Bowlsby said.

“It isn’t going to be easy.

You will find the competition in every sport, on every day, from top to bottom in the league, is first grade.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

A look at WVU’s uniform options

WEB

Senior guard Matt Humphrey decided to come to West Virginia after finishing second in scoring at Boston College last season. WVU will be the third school Humphrey has played for during his college career.

There have been a lot of changes with the leadership of West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck and head football coach Dana Holgorsen.

Luck has successfully guided the Mountaineers to the Big 12 Conference, while Holgorsen has implemented an explosive “Air Raid” offense. Between West Virginia’s move away from the stagnant Big East Conference and Holgorsen’s new high-flying offense, higherquality recruits beginning to think about joining the WVU football program.

One approach Luck and Holgorsen took this season to attract prospects to Morgantown was introducing new gray uniforms. There have also been talks about a complete new line of WVU uniforms next season.

“It’s a recruiting thing,” Holgorsen said to the Charleston Daily Mail. “If

Matt Humphrey fitting in at West Virginia

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS EDITOR

Matt Humphrey is in very exclusive company, but not for anything he’s done on the basketball court.

He’s part of a small group of college basketball players to transfer twice during their career.

After spending his first two seasons at Oregon, he left for Boston College when head coach Ernie Kent was fired. Humphrey sat out a season before being looked at to lead a young Boston College team that struggled to a 9-22 season. He decided to transfer again shortly after the end of the season.

“Transferring is not something that you want to do,” Humphrey said. “It’s not something I was happy about, but I was in two really difficult situations. You just have to do what’s best for you moving forward.”

Once he made the decision to leave Boston College, Humphrey began hearing from schools who were interested in adding

him for his final season of eligibility. One of the teams that were on the 6-foot-5 guard, who was eligible to play immediately after completing his undergraduate degree at Boston College last season, was West Virginia.

“You do your homework on schools. You’re not going to be interested in a school where you might not have an opportunity to

play, but you have to understand that there are guys who have been there, performed well and earned their right to play next year,” Humphrey said.

“There’s an opportunity here to make an impact right away. We’ve got some young guys, and they definitely need some more experience, and I just appreciate them coming after me and giving me the opportu-

NEW YORK (AP) — Asked to characterize “Shut Up and Play the Hits,” a concert film that documents LCD Soundsystem’s final, oft-mythologized show at Madison Square Garden, James Murphy deadpans a television promo.

“Middle-age guy stops band. Pictures at 11.”

The film, which plays in theaters for one night Wednesday, is a kind of “The Last Waltz” for a new generation: an adored band going out with a self-induced, possibly premature bang. But it’s also, as the filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace say, “a character study” of Murphy, whose decision to end LCD Soundsystem is as curious to the man who made it as it is to anybody.

“I still don’t know if it’s the right decision,” says Murphy.

“I felt like it was the right decision for the moment and you only have that. And I’m OK with that. I regret it sometimes. I don’t know if I regret it, but I’m sad sometimes. I’m like, `Oh, it would be fun to play with those guys.’ Or I see a band that stinks and I’m like, `Let’s go wipe them off, stop them from playing.’”

The movie is an occasion not only to lead new ears to LCD Soundsystem and let their fans relive a concert that seemed to define an era of New York music, but a chance to unpack LCD Soundsystem – an alternatively ironic and sincere groove-based outfit that made cerebral electronic dance music with pristine production and propulsive rhythms.

“We did a bunch of things that I’m only figuring out now,” Murphy says. “We were cooler than I thought we were. But we didn’t rest on it because I didn’t think we were cool. So I don’t feel like we sold out too bad.”

In a recent interview at his newly purchased Williamsburg loft, Murphy, a kickboxing enthusiast, had the restlessness of a fighter without a bout on the horizon. “I’m not retired,” he says, feigning a golf swing. But a kind of post-LCD limbo has taken hold. Recalling the day’s decisions, he says, “I forgot to eat. Should I make a juice or should I fry an egg? I don’t have eggs. Should I rent a Zip car?”

“That’s kind of what’s going on now,” says Murphy, laughing.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you could experience an inordinate amount of pressure, as often what you feel could be in conflict with what you think or must do. People pick up on your mixed messages. You are better off explaining your internal battle to others, even though they likely will know about it anyway.

If you are single, check out someone you meet with care. This person might not be everything he or she portrays him- or herself to be.

Take a full year to get to know each other. If you are attached, the two of you will learn to communicate far better, which allows you to open up more. Caring flows between you.

VIRGO can be demanding.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ Focus on a project that you must complete. A partner or an associate could act like a taskmaster and frustrate you to no end. Understand your limits here, and tap into your ingenuity. You just might find a way to lighten up the situation.

Tonight: To the wee hours.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★★★ Your imagination knows no limits, and it opens you up to a new way of thinking. You could find that a friend wants more, which confuses you on some level, as you have kept romance and friendship separate. Be true to yourself. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★ You might decide to call it an early day and head home; on the other hand, some of you will decide to just enjoy a day off. Of all the signs, you have the least amount of toler-

ance for boredom. Take up a new hobby to invigorate your daily life.

Tonight: Make it easy.

do. Meetings could be quite important. Use them for networking. Tonight: Only where people are.

C ANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★★★ Express yourself in a clear and succinct manner. Realize your limits within a discussion. No matter how creative you get, there are some things that are best left unsaid. Take time for a child or a new friend. Tonight: Catch up on a neighbor’s news.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★★ Carefully rethink a situation involving a boss or higher-up.

You could feel quite restricted, as you sense this person’s negativity.

The question remains: Is there really negativity here, or are you projecting it onto the situation? Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★ You no longer can avoid taking a hard look at your budget. You might feel uncomfortable at first, but it is better than not having enough money for the holidays. You’ll come up with some good ideas that could make the next few weeks even more special. Tonight: Buy a gift on the way home.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★★ Listen to your sixth sense.

You know when something is off.

You need to honor those feelings, as they could prevent a problem before it happens. Someone at a distance or on a trip could rain on your parade. Tonight: Detach, and you will see more.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★★ Confusion surrounds a project, and possibly even a loved one. A misunderstanding might not be all that bad, as perhaps you have not yet heard the whole story. You’ll feel happier when you do. Your creativity surges as a result. Tonight: Whatever makes you smile.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★ A partner whispers in your ear and has a lot to share. You listen, though you might want more information. A boss or an older friend could be challenging. Though you get feedback, your sixth sense tells you something different. Follow your instincts. Tonight: Be a team player.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★ Know when you want to pull back.

You could be taken aback by the assumptions someone close to you makes. You might not be sure what direction to head in. Do not worry so much. Try to think positively. Tonight: Make an adjustment to your thinking.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★★ Think carefully about what is being proposed. The problem lies in how much is being thrown on your plate. Not one person approaches you to help, either. You have to choose with whom and on what project you want to be involved. Tonight: Join friends.

SCORPIO (OC T. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★★★ Emphasize others. You understand your own strength and where it comes from. You need less support than many other people

CAMP HOLGS: PART II

WVU kicks off second camp under Holgorsen after victory in Orange Bowl

BY DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER

After West Virginia’s romp of Clemson in January’s Orange Bowl and being inducted into the notorious Big 12 Conference this July, the Mountaineers’ expectations for 2012 have reached a pinnacle heading into the first practice of fall preseason camp.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen acknowledged the palpable excitement and wasted no time discussing the weight of the lofty outlooks following his first official practice with the team.

“We addressed expectations,” Holgorsen said. “We basically told them we’re going to ignore expectations, just like we did last year going into the Clemson game. We didn’t really care what you guys wrote or what the media was saying on TV – it’s the same thing

now. Expectations are high, which we like, but we’re not going to pay any attention to it.”

No pads were allowed during the first four practices, an NCAA-mandated acclimation period, but it was evident the addition of helmets and shoulder pads beginning the third practice ignited an element of raw physicality that has been prevalent in the Mountaineers’ preseason camp ever since.

Holgorsen reported after the fourth day of practices one of the biggest changes from last year’s preseason was the fact that this year they simply had more healthy bodies to endure the simmering physical play that occasionally boiled over into a few skirmishes among teammates.

“We’re not fighting because we hate each other,” Holgorsen said follow-

ing the fourth day of team practices. “We’re fighting because of the aggressive nature of what these kids are like. We had more fights than I would like today, but there’s some people across the country that would like to trade places with me, because they can’t get their guys to fight. That’s just intensity and competing. If it starts hurting the drill, that’s when I say something about it.”

On the fifth day of practice, the team welcomed U.S. Senator Joe Manchin.

It was reported that he talked to the team about their importance to the state of West Virginia and the countless inspirations cultivated by the program.

After the physical initiation to WVU’s fall camp, the second-year head coach claimed even more competition and energy was developing in practices

four through eight, but he still wasn’t ready to narrow down any particular positions yet.

Holgorsen also reported his overall satisfaction with significant developments and improvements from offensive-linemen Pat Eger, Curtis Feigt and Quinton Spain, who will all likely play a vital role in protecting quarterback Geno Smith, incumbent starting quarterback and preseason Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

Big 12 referees also joined the players in camp during the week to clarify some of the newest changes to the rules, such as the new helmet rule, as well as tweaks to the kickoff procedures.

After ten practices, Holgorsen told reporters he was about a week away from learning a significant amount about his team,

and although he wasn’t planning to alter the format of practice, the team would be participating in many more live snaps from there on out.

He also informed the media the few players he kept on the scout team in practice, because of some concern they might not pass summer classes, had actually managed to do so by what Holgorsen deemed “the first miracle of the season.”

Those in attendance during the 10th practice were treated to one brief but impressive series featuring Geno Smith and the first team offense airing it out against the defense on the practice field. Smith moved the first team down the field and into the end zone in a matter of minutes, much to the delight of his secondyear head coach.

“We’ll continue to put

them in a lot of situations like that,” Holgorsen said.

“Still like the energy, still like the effort, and I like what I see from an attitude standpoint. Now we just have to play a bunch of ball.”

Again, the Mountaineers haven’t even completed half of their 29 NCAA-allowed preseason practices, but Holgorsen has been adamant since WVU’s fall camp opened that he’s been overly satisfied with the overall energy, excitement and intensity he’s seen from all sides of the ball. As the season continues to inch closer, Holgorsen will also move closer to a more finalized version of the depth-chart, where a number of positions are certainly still up for grabs. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

BIG 12 CONFERENCE TEAM PREVIEWS

Florence poised to replace Griffin at Baylor

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

Stepping in for the Heisman Trophy winner is no easy task, but Baylor senior Nick Florence has been waiting to do just that. Florence has been Robert Griffin’s backup since arriving at Baylor in 2009. When Griffin has gotten hurt, Florence has stepped up, appearing in 18 games and starting seven, while throwing for 1,992 yards and nine touchdowns.

Florence, veteran guy with that much experience, gives Coach Art Briles confidence.

“I have a tremendous amount of confidence in the passion, the energy, the drive, the fearlessness that he’s going to bring to the table for us,” Briles said at Big 12 Media Day. Cyclones loaded with defensive star power It is clear that the Cyclones aren’t the offensive juggernaut that the majority of the teams in the conference are.

Iowa State’s best players are on defense with lineback-

ers Jake Knott and A.J. Klein.

Last season, Klein piled up 116 tackles and two sacks, while Knott had 115 tackles and two interceptions.

Their head coach Paul Rhoads knows these are the guys who will take the program to the next level.

“They’re prototype.

They’re 6-foot-2, 6-foot-3, 245 pounds. They can run, and they’re intelligent, and they are tough, and the expectations are high for good reason,” Rhoads said.

Doege has had some big wins, like the upset last season against Oklahoma, but also some ugly losses, like a 60-point blowout loss to Oklahoma State. Doege has been in the middle of it all – some good like the four touchdowns against the Sooners and some bad like the three interceptions against Kansas State.

Consistency key to success for Mountaineers

BY AMIT BATRA SPORTS WRITER

For the No. 25 West Virginia women’s basketball team, the ability to knock down open shots will be key for consistency this season.

The Mountaineers were able to get the looks they wanted throughout the game against Iowa on Nov. 25, but the lack of productivity was the Mountaineers’ downfall in their loss to the Hawkeyes.

West Virginia shot 29.2 percent from the floor against Iowa (21-of-72). It was only able to make 6-of28 attempts from 3-point range for a 21.4 percent mark. WVU is getting the looks it wants, but the shots haven’t been dropping.

“There were spurts in both games (Iowa/LSU) that we looked really, really good, and there were spurts in both games that we looked really, really bad,” said head coach Mike Carey. “We have to become consistent. We’re going to struggle a while until we become consistent. You can’t shoot 20-something percent from wide-open shots.

Hopefully, we’ll start hitting some of them shots.

“It’s not like they’re bad shots. Where I was disappointed is when we weren’t making those shots; at times, we broke down defensively. When you’re not scoring, you can’t break down defensively.”

In the past, West Virginia would tighten up defensively when the shots weren’t falling the right way. Carey has all the confidence in his players shooting from the perimeter and the confidence the shots will start to fall as the season progresses. WVU has allowed more points recently, which is atypical of its defensive style.

“We’re playing a lot of young people and a lot of people off the bench,” he

said. “We took some quick shots. When you take those quick shots, and you’re not hitting them, it leads to a fast break the other way.

We just got to get our feet set, and don’t take hurried shots. I think we’re hurrying our offense a little bit.”

The Mountaineers have taken care of the ball extremely well this season – Carey mentioned the lack of turnovers and taking care of the ball are the best he’s seen in the past five seasons. WVU continues to get its looks for point opportunities, but until it can consistently knock those shots in the basket, consistency in winning games will be questioned.

Junior guards Christal Caldwell and Taylor Palmer bounced back from an early struggle in the season with strong performances in the FIU Thanksgiving Classic against Iowa and LSU. Caldwell had 17 points and went 6-of-6 from the charity stripe against the Hawkeyes, while Palmer was named to the FIU Classic All-Tournament team after averaging 19.0 points per game.

Palmer believes West Virginia will need to hit those open shots in order to defeat teams this season. The junior feels the team is just rushing instead of letting the game come to them.

“Coach Carey has told me that some of my shots have been rushed,” she said. “When I set my feet and take my time, those shots are way better than the ones I’m rushing. I think we’re just anxious. I think we’re getting a lot of good looks; we just need to take our time and knock them down.”

The team felt two games were given away last week against Iowa and LSU. Losses like those could be mentally frustrating and lead to a lack of confidence, but the Mountaineers have

Letter of Recommendation

I am pleased to nominate George Hinchliffe for the CNBAM Designer of the Year.

George has worked in the Creative Services Department for The Daily Gamecock since January 2011 and has been a tremendous asset to our team.

George is an incredibly dedicated member of our design team and has worked on a variety of projects. His keen eye for detail and creative style have been instrumental in the success of our department. He has naturally grown into a leadership role within the office and enjoys training new students and generally helping in any way he can.

He also serves as Design Director for the editorial side of the paper where he manages a group of designers to create the final version of each issue.

George relates well to people and enjoys working not only with the account representatives but also with clients. His strong sense of design, positive attitude and determination have served him well and have helped him to develop into the leader that he is today.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sarah Scarborough Advertising Manager The Daily Gamecock

Letter of Recommendation

To whom it may concern: I would like to nominate George Hinchliffe for CNBAM’s Designer of the Year award. In 2012, Mr. Hinchliffe was crucial in the planning and design of ads, posters and special projects for Student Media.

Throughout 2012, George’s dedication and talent were evident not only in the layout and design work he did while creating ads for clients of The Daily Gamecock newspaper, but also while being an editorial design staff leader and a Resident Mentor with the university housing. To say the least, George was a very busy student on campus.

In spring 2012, George worked to design and revise two lengthy publications called the Student Organization brochure and Discover Carolina magazine. He collaborated with another designer to ensure the designs were successful and the clients received final PDF files on time. There were 10,000 Student Organization brochures and 7,500 Discover Carolina magazines printed and sent to in-coming first-year students.

Over summer 2012, he worked closely with the Advertising Manager to create a special promotional campaign called the Garnet Ticket. This campaign consisted of designing a ticket that was to be inserted into select issues of the newspaper. Special prizes were denoted on each ticket.

George created a design and template for both the tickets and print ads that were used throughout the fall 2012 semester.

All through the year, George used his talent as a designer to elevate the work in our office and was a dedicated employee committed to the university. He was able to get things done with minimal supervision. I wholeheartedly recommend him for CNBAM’s Designer of the Year award.

Persons of interest identified in Wheat Street assault Police: 3 men may be connected with attack Thad Moore

TMOORE@DAILYGAMECOCK.COM

Police have identified three persons of interest they think may be connected to last week’s assault near Five Points.

At about 2:15 a.m. on Aug. 19, a 23-year-old man and his girlfriend were walk ing up W heat Street from Five Points when three white men yelled for his attention, according to an incident report.

T he v ic t i m t u r ne d a r ou nd a nd reached out to shake one of the men’s hand. That man grabbed his arm, took him to the ground and began punching him in the face, the report said.

The victim’s girlfriend jumped on the suspect’s back, and he threw her off, according to the report. The other two men stood by and watched, she told police.

Police an nou nced Thursday t hey were lo ok i ng for t h ree men t he y spotted in Five Points sur veillance video. They appeared to be following t he couple in t he v ideo, Colu mbia police spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons said.

“We can’t say 100 percent that these are the people who did it,” Timmons said.

The suspect is thought to be between 20 and 25 years old, with a shaved head, according to the report . He was last seen in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, the report said.

The v ict im was taken to t he emergency room at Palmetto Baptist Hospital , where he was t reated for bruising and swelling on his left eye and later released, according to a release.

Police are offering up to a $1,000 reward for t ips subm it ted on Crimestoppers that help track down the suspect, according to the release.

RAISES â—? Continued from 1 taking his salary to $262,896.

For others, this year wasn’t the first time they’d gotten a raise in recent years.

Ed Walton, USC’s chief fi nancial of f icer, received a $43,542 (18.5 percent) raise this year, taking his salary to $279,542 after getting a $72,000 (43.9 percent) increase last year. Leslie Brunelli, an associate vice president for finance, earned $23,926 (12.3 percent) more, making her salary $218,926, up from 155,639 in 2010. Byrd, the vice president for human resources, made $31,150 (17.3 percent) more, increasing his salary to $211,150, up from $124,230 in 2010.

The Daily Gamecock’s analysis compared the Budget and Control Board’s data for employees’ salaries as of Aug. 31 in those years.

T h i s s e m e s t e r, M a r y A n n e Fitzpatrick, the dean of the College of A rts and Sciences, received an additional $25,000 in pay when she was named a vice provost, taking her salary to $310,897.

And earlier this month, the board of t r ustees approved a $125,000 pay increase — 21 percent — for Past ides, tak ing his base pay to $724,000. The board also gave him a $250,000 retention bonus over five years.

On the whole, USC’s top-paid employees weren’t much more likely to receive a raise than other workers.

T h i s y e a r, 15. 7 p e r c e n t o f employees making at least $100,000 got a raise, compared to 15.6 percent of employees making less than that, according to data provided by Byrd.

Last year, 18.3 percent of the bestpaid employees earned more, versus 17.4 percent in t he latter group, according to the data.

I n t hose cases, Past ides sa id, administrators usually took on new responsibilities or absorbed other positions. Walton, for example, took

over the role of vice president for facilities, he said.

Fo r o t h e r s , i t ’s a n i s s u e o f retention, Pastides said.

An analysis of faculty salaries in the U.S. by the Chronicle of Higher Educat ion shows t hat USC falls below the national median in faculty wages. The university is in the 48th percentile for pay for full professors and assistant professors, and in the 28th percentile for instructors.

The u n iversit y w ill star t r e q u e s t i n g f u r t h e r “ r e g u l a r, moderate raises� across the board from t he state legislat ure in t he coming years, Pastides said.

Bar r i ng t hat , ra ises wou ld be f u nde d b y US C ’s E d u c at io n a l Fo u n d a t i o n , w i t h m o n e y t h e university’s endowment generates from interest on investments, or by its billion-dollar Carolina’s Promise capital campaign, Pastides said.

Pastides said that the university would avoid using tuition money to give universitywide raises, in light of growing tuition costs at USC. Over the summer, the board of trustees increased USC’s tuition by 3.15 percent for in-state students and 4.9 percent for non-resident students. For residents of the state, it was the smallest tuition increase in more than a decade.

But t u it ion a nd en rol l ment increases play a part in an ongoing struggle at the university, Byrd said — to retain its staff and make the most of its money as state funding shrinks and the economy continues on a slow recovery. “It’s ver y important t hat even during difficult economic times to be able to assemble a strong team of highly qualified, motivated and competent f ac u lt y a nd st af f so that we can deliver a high-quality product to the students,� Byrd said.

We’re introduced to the main players in the closing minutes of one of the most patriotic ways to open an American fi lm: a high school football game.

Impetuous home team quarterback Matt ( Josh Peck) loses t he f inal g a me of t he s e a s on while his father (Brett Cu l len) a nd brot her Jed ( Hem s wor t h), a war veteran home on leave from Iraq, watch.

it comes to the characters. A ll of the minor characters get at least three lines every now and then, but they play out like disposable extras in a crappy teen horror franchise. The females (Isabel Lucas and Adrianne Palicki, two actresses I’ve never heard of ) receive the least development of all, as they spend the ent ire f ilm st a ndi ng around looking pretty and only occasionally speaking.

Most of t he screen time centers on Hemsworth and Peck and t he sibling r ival r y t hey sha re.

Hemsworth gives Peck a couple of pep talks about responsibi l it y and the team coming f i rst before h is ow n w ishes. But all Peck wants to do is rescue his girlfriend from the North Koreans, which he keeps reminding us of through sequences of overactive emoting.

T he d ia log ue, t he plot , t he cha rac ter development and pretty much everything else a re where t h i s f i l m topples, except for a n u nex pected t w ist toward the end. This is defi nitely not a great s t a r t f o r f i r s t- t i m e director Bradley.

McHaffie said that since the Five Points Association had the Statewide Security cameras installed two years ago , “about eight out of 10” crimes committed in the hospitality district have been solved, many with help from these cameras. She said visitors will soon be made even more aware of the surveillance employed to keep them safe.

“Within the next week or so, there will be signs and stickers all over Five Points that say ‘Have f un, be safe, cameras are watching for your safety,’ to let everybody understand that they are being watched and that we’re not going to put up with this stuff,” McHaffie said.

Lane: Football fans feeling confident Gamecock faithful surprisingly calm about possible collapse There is something very strange going on in the Capital City.

Football season is arou nd t he c o r ne r a nd S o ut h C a r ol i n a i s expected to be good. Really good.

So good t hat some brave sou ls a re t h row i ng out a ph rase t hat hasn’t been used in regards to the G amecock football team i n ma ny, ma ny yea rs. A ph rase t hat rhymes with “rational stamp eon dip.”

W it h a l l of t h is g o i n g o n , a l l t he s e h igh ex pect at ions, Rixon somet hing is notably Lane missing from the voices Sports Editor of USC football fans.

Panic.

G a mecock football fa ns are usually petrified when expectations are even slightly raised. They have good reason to feel that way. USC football has historically experienced collapses of monumental proportions when faced with the possibility of historic success.

USC was ranked No. 2 in t he countr y with a 9-0 record going into a Nov. 17 meeting with Navy in 1984. South Carolina was one win from a potential Orange Bowl berth and t wo victories from an undefeated regular season. Nav y was 3-5-1 coming into the match.

Final score: Navy 38, USC 21.

A y e a r a f t er t he G a me c o c k s we nt 10 -2 i n 19 8 4, w h ic h w a s

Follow us! thegamecock

then a school record for wins in a single season, USC limped to a 5-6 record in 1985, in a year that has been regarded as one of the most disappointing in the history of the program.

USC looked poised for a potentially great season again in 2007, when the Gamecocks stormed out of the gate to a 6-1 record and a No. 6 nat iona l r a n k i ng. T he Gamecocks then dropped a home contest to a 4-3 Vanderbilt team that had not beaten Steve Spurrier in 14 tries. The Commodores upset USC 17- 6, a loss t hat put Sout h Carolina in a tailspin that derailed their season. Five consecutive losses to end the year kept the Gamecocks home for the holidays.

Now, South Carolina, on the heels of t he most successf ul season in program history, seems primed to have a season for the record books, and USC fans aren’t reaching for their defibrillators. With a season t hat ha s so much potent ia l for heartbreak , G amecock diehards seem almost relaxed. This could either be the year that USC fans venture to the paradise of a BCS bowl, the land of milk and money, or a year where they see their hearts ripped f rom t heir chest and put through a cheese grater, and no one sounds worried about it.

This team could be on the verge of shaking a barrel of monkeys off the program’s back. There is the possibility of laying the fi nal piece of g rou ndwork for a rock-sol id program that could last a decade, an opportunity for revenge against an

Arkansas team that has humiliated USC in recent years, a chance to put a choke hold on the recruiting edge in the Palmetto State and a shot at the school’s fi rst football conference championship since 1969.

This is a time where Gamecock fans should be horrified, petrified, cowering under their easy chairs f rom t he sheer prospect of a disappointing 2012 campaign.

And the fact that they aren’t could be the biggest sign that the culture is changing at USC. Not too long ago, Gamecock fans applauded the team’s 24-17 loss to No. 2 Auburn in 2006. Spurrier put a swift end to that. The Head Ball Coach let it be k nown that there would be no moral victories at USC, that applause was to be reserved for winning. He told fans that there were more important things than beat i ng Clem son. He sa id t hat

South Carolina had every resource to be a competitive football program and that fans should expect them to compete at the highest level.

Well, now they do.

If USC fans don’t seem worried about this year, maybe it’s because t h e y a r e n’t . M a y b e t h e y ’v e looked at the talent on the field, t he stabilit y at quarterback, t he ret u r n of a Heisma n ca nd idate and the reloading of a tenacious defense and they have decided that there is no reason to worry about disappointment.

Maybe this could be the year of a passion full camp eon strip.

Dear CNBAM Voting Committee, I am greatly honored to recommend Mary Seale for the Designer of the Year award. As the Print Sales Manager, I have worked very closely with Mary and I am always extremely pleased with her work ethic and ability to produce results. Mary is an enthusiastic and dedicated employee who has extraordinary design talents and superb leadership skills.

From the time Mary started at LSU Student Media, she was enthusiastic about every design she was asked to do. This upbeat attitude she brought everyday was refreshing and encouraging, not only the other designers, but the sales team as well. Mary has a true passion for advertising design and fully commits to every design she does.

As Design Manager, Mary exceeds expectations and always encourages her design team to produce at their highest potential. She is always open with her employees and is thrilled to help them learn new techniques or skills. Her openness and attitude in the design office has definitely made a hardworking and dedicated work environment.

Mary is not only excited to see growth in the design office, but is also excited to help the advertising office grow as a whole. Over the summer Mary took it upon herself to go through and create a new spec ads database for the sales representatives to use for potential clients took it upon herself to create and build a usable database of spec ads for the sales representatives to use for potential clients. As a veteran employee of the office who works in both design and layout, Mary has extensive knowledge of our client’s past and present ads and campaigns. Mary uses her knowledge to help sales representatives and designers come up with new campaigns and designs for clients. Mary also sacrifices a lot of her personal time to help the office in “crunch� time. She has stayed late or come in early, outside of office hours to finish ads, numerous times and never complains about the extra work. Mary is not only an important part of the design team but also an essential part of the sales office as well.

Over the past year and a half, I have not only come to know Mary as an extraordinary designer but as a esteemed colleague and friend. She is the best designer I have seen come through LSU Student Media. I am extremely proud of her achievements and am thrilled to recommend her for Designer of the Year. Her leadership, loyalty, talents make her an extremely deserving candidate of this award.

Thank you for your time,

Annabel Mellon Print Sales Manager LSU Student Media Louisiana State University national@tigers.lsu.edu

Best Designer HUGO ARCEO 2012

Manager Recommendation

January 1, 2012 To whom it may concern: Hugo Arceo is an outstanding production executive and a very talented artist who has distinguished himself at the Daily Titan as our hardest working employee. He is always working in the office, turning in projects far ahead in advance compared to their deadlines, and whatever is asked of him he does immediately. His work ethic is strong, commendable, and a model for all to emulate.

As a professor and student publication’s advisor, I have been impressed by Hugo’s dedication to his work. He displays a remarkable sense for creativity and the drive for nothing short of pure success.

Hugo is a true friend to all of his co-workers, shows a deep appreciation for his job, and genuinely cares about putting together the best quality ads. His in house promotional ads have been a cohesive theme and have helped our paper look more professional.

Hugo will be an asset anywhere he is employed in life. I can guarantee he has a strong career ahead of him. His willingness to accept criticism, ideas, and corrections make him an ideal candidate. He has the talent and skills to excel beyond measures.

On a personal level, he is a good person, with a fantastic sense of humor, who genuinely cares about people. He’s one of those people that come into your life and you know you will never forget them.

If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Robert Sage Professor, Communications Department Faculty Advisor--Business Manager, Daily Titan

Manager Recommendation

To the Judges of CNBAM: Hugo Arceo is more than worthy of the award for Best Designer because his creative, work ethic far exceeds anyone I have ever come across. His diligence to complete projects, close issues, and create ads surpasses any Ads Director’s expectations.

He was new to our team this past fall 2012, but his eagerness to learn and excel at the Daily Titan has placed him on the ranks of any production executive we have ever had in this office. He works great with everyone in the office, has a great sense of humor, and knows when to get down to business. The amount of hours he puts in shows his genuine “go-getter” personality.

Whatever we need from production, he is the first one to volunteer and dive into any project. He won employee of the semester due to his hard work and his innovative creativity for Daily Titan ads and promotional items. He shaped our entire year around a beautiful, retro theme; making the Daily Titan a cohesive brand.

When faced with an overwhelmingly amount of work to accomplish, Hugo handles it with grace, strength, and perseverance. We couldn’t be happier with having him on our team and look forward to his work for the rest of the academic year.

If, further assistance is needed please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely, Amanda Fessenden Director of Advertising Afessenden@dailytitan.com

Jan.10, 2013 College Newspaper Business and Advertising Managers (CNBAM) Contest Committee To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Jose Gil, a talented and dedicated designer for Georgia Southern University’s Office of Student Media, an organization that oversees our award-winning George-Anne student newspaper, Southern Reflector general interest magazine, thegeorgeanne.com, Miscellany magazine for the arts and several other publications. Jose has been a highly sought-after and productive designer, creating a variety of print and web-based ads quickly and without complaint. It is because of this effort that I believe he is an excellent candidate for the Best Designer Award.

I’ve been at Student Media for two years now, and Jose has been here pretty much from the beginning.

He started in the News Division, but was transferred to the Business Division last year to fill a void left by the departure of the past ad designer. Very quickly Jose established his credibility with clients and our sales representatives, as he became the go-to guy for sharp, clean and effective ads.

We also discovered early on what a joy it is to work with Jose. His greatest strength is that he remains patient when all around him (translation: clients and sales representatives) are pushing to get that one last ad in the paper -- often past deadline, but close enough that we have a hard time saying no. Jose understands the customer service aspect of advertisement design and is always there to handle the workload.

Next year we see big things for Jose. His calm demeanor and design skills make him a top candidate for our production manager position, a role that would place him on the Board of Student Executives at the top of our hierarchy chart. His potential to lead and teach is limitless.

For these reasons and many, many more, I believe Jose Gil is a most deserving candidate for the Best Designer of the Year Award.

Sincerely,

John Harvey
