He would like to see programs that cut down plastic used on campus, or that have bottle deposits to encourage recycling.

Each professor who chooses to teach a Maymester course has different reasons for choosing the shorter format.

Sarah Stanley loves teaching English and says that the first time she taught a Maymester course it was her first year at UAF, and “it was a way to teach the one course that I'm most passionate about and don't get to teach on the regular schedule.” She isn’t teaching that course this year, but the experience teaching in shorter forStudents practice theater.

Bergman appreciates the leadership from Chancellor Brian Rogers, and tries to rise to the challenge given in 2010 to the entire UAF community to make sustainability “more than just recycling or growing our own food,” and instead make it “a philosophy and way of life that we should be living each and every day.”

Parker also sees Rogers as a vital part of moving the UAF community towards more sustainable models with his words and money backing them up.

"Most documentary shorts in the professional world have less than three weeks to shoot, so students experience the real pressures of creating a documentary," Prince said.

When students voted in 2009 for the $20 per student sustainability fee, the chancellor matched the money, and has continued to make sure the university matches the amounts raised through the fee.

The Nanooks' only goal of the game was scored by junior left wing and Communication student Garrick Perry five minutes into the second period.

"It's kind of weird when you're celebrating even though you lost 3-1," Kunyk said. "But we had the same feeling two years ago when we won in Anchorage so it's still sweet that we got to keep the cup in Fairbanks."

The Nanooks finished the regular season with an overall record of 17-13-4 and 14-12-2 in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

Because of Friday's win, the Nanooks clinched a playoff series at the Carlson Center.

Letter to the Editor

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, In the news is “Campus gun bill before committee.”

There is nothing more important in the world for a student to get an A in their class.

An armed student is in a much better position to negotiate with the teacher to get an A in class than an unarmed student.

Have something to say?

Say it here.

The Sun Star welcomes reader commentary.

A student has to do whatever they have to do to get that A in class.

Alaska needs their students to get as many A’s as possible and if that means arming students to get an A, well so be it.

This will give the students a chance to demonstrate that they know how to guard their network against malicious attacks while still being able to handle requests handed down to them from the corporate administration.

“The CCDC gives students the opportunity to experience real world security challenges and deal with them accordingly,” said Dr. Brian Hay, a professor in the Computer Science Department and the main organizer of the event.

Students prepare for the event nearly six months before the competition date and meet frequently to discuss preparation, event rules and procedures.

Students must prepare themselves with knowledge of network hardening(securing a network against attackers), securing resources, and competition rules.

Within the groups of people who operate the competition, each group has a designation based on a color that helps define them and their function.

The white team is administration and helps monitor the security teams and the software that enables the teams to compete.
