Hokies face lineup changes
BY RACHEL FRANKS | sports editor The Hokies were dealt a damaging blow after the first practice of the season this week as they learned that corner Antone Exum had been ruled out for the season opener against Alabama. Exum, who was a key piece of the Hokies defense last season, tore his ACL last spring while playing pickup basketball. It was hoped that he would be recovered in time for him to play in the opener against national powerhouse Alabama, but after a visit with his orthopedic surgeon, it was determined that Exum’s knee is not ready. “It’s just one of those things that takes time,” head coach

what’s inside:
Frank Beamer said. “I think in a couple months they’re going to re-evaluate, and it just needs to be right for him and for us. It is what it is.” This news, while not unexpected, is a big blow for Tech’s secondary. Exum was named the MVP of the Russell Athletic Bowl last December after his interception led to the Hokie’s victory. The most likely candidates to replace Exum are Brandon Facyson, a true freshman, and Donaldven Manning, a sophomore. Right now the players are listed as co-starters on the depth chart.

While Blacksburg is mainly devoid of students in the summer, local businesses including a few of Virginia Tech’s own retail outlets, suffer from fewer customers. However, the three weeks of July scheduled for new student orientation is a widely welcomed change of pace during those slow summer breaks.
According to Jessica Johns, Assistant Director of the New Students and Families Program, this year’s orientation in particular yielded over 14,000 visitors to the Blacksburg area over the sessions. Although Johns emphasizes that the focus of orientation is to acclimate new students and families to their new and large university, the sudden influx of people is undoubtedly help-
ful to consumerism in local Blacksburg, and Johns recognizes the “very strong relationship” between the university and the town of Blacksburg. “They kind of go hand in hand,” Johns said. “When you think about Virginia Tech as an institution, you think about Blacksburg.” As business around Blacksburg received a boost in clientele this past July, Tech’s very own Squires Food Court,
which houses Au Bon Pain, welcomed the spur in summer operations. “Our business was up. I’d say 75 percent versus the rest of the summer,” said Donna Rogers, Assistant Manager for Squires Food Court, who added that orientation not only brought in relatively heavy-paced traffic, but a fresh customer base that the Squires team reveled in. see RETAIL / page three

Blacksburg supports cancer patient 200 miles away JESSICA GROVES

The Cherry family of Richmond, Virginia knows all about the power of positivity. Their daughter Lauren was diagnosed with a rare cancer called blastoma at the young age of three years old. Since then, their community has been working hard to bring a smile to her face. Even though one of Lauren’s pediatricians fi rst thought she had a virus, her mother Marissa’s instincts said differently this past July. When Lauren kept saying the back of her head was the source of her pain, Marissa made an early appointment for a CT scan, and they waited for what they hoped would be good news. “I had jumped in the shower, and when I jumped out I had missed six calls,” said Lauren’s father, Stephen Cherry. “You don’t call six times if it’s good news.”
The scan had revealed a mass in the center of Lauren’s brain, and later she was diagnosed with a rare blastoma, a type of cancer that is found more commonly in children than adults. Less than one percent of children in America have the kind of cancer Lauren has. Surgeons at Virginia Commonwealth University’s hospital were able to remove most of the primary tumor in Lauren’s brain, which can be a difficult spot to operate on. Lauren spent ten hours in surgery that day as doctors worked to remove the eggsized mass. “If you’re on an airplane and something’s happening, you look at the flight attendants to see if they’re concerned or not,” Stephen Cherry said. “When the surgeons came back, we saw lots of smiles and a lot of relieved attitudes.” As if spending ten hours in surgery wasn’t hard enough, Lauren underwent four more

With ties to the Blacksburg community, the Cherry family began receiving an influx of support for Lauren’s struggle. “Lauren’s favorite color is purple,” her father said. “Everyone was saying ‘how can we help?’ and we just told them, ‘wear something purple.’” Travis Bishop, owner of downtown Blacksburg’s High Peak Sportswear, didn’t waste a minute to jump in and help. When he heard news of Lauren’s illness, he made purple T-shirts that ended up being displayed in the store. At the time, he couldn’t have known how big of an impact his small gesture would make. Bishop grew up playing varsity soccer with Cherry at Blacksburg High School. The bond between the two families grew tighter as responses to Bishop’s act of support flew in. “There wasn’t really an elaborate plan,” Bishop said. “Every day, people post pictures of them wearing the shirts or wearing purple and Lauren gets to see those pictures on an iPad.” Lauren’s father says the family has received an outpouring of support from all over the world, including Brazil and Iraq.
Those closest to Lauren in Richmond have also found unique ways to bring a smile to her face. Her older siblings, Jackson and Ava Cherry, were given a unique opportunity to show their support for Lauren in a different way— with a football. “Lauren’s a die-hard Redskin’s fan, and she has this little pink football,” Cherry said. “Her brother Jackson has about ten thousand football cards and he and his sister decided to get it all signed for Lauren at training camp.” And despite the odds, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III headed straight for the Cherry children when he walked across the field to the kids’ zone at the training camp in Richmond that day, two days after Lauren’s post-op. Cherry said that his family is at a loss for words when it comes to the support Lauren has received from both near and far. Both Blacksburg and Richmond feel like home to the Cherry family, and Cherry knows the power of community is strong in both. Stephen Cherry believes that Blacksburg will continue to prove to be a special place for him and his family, no matter what the future holds.

“It was nice to have it busy in here and to meet all the new parents and students that came through,” Rogers said. “They were all really nice people.” Dave Wilson, Associate Director for the University Bookstore located on-campus, also said that even though the bookstore kept busy with demand from summer classes, orientation usually brought “the three busiest weeks during the summer.” While it still wasn’t as busy as when classes start, according
to Wilson, bookstore employees had to make themselves readily available to assist with the confusion accompanied by newcomers’ orientation. “(Orientation) brings a whole new group of students and families into town,” Wilson said. “We’re always pretty involved with that. We’re here to answer any questions that the students or families have related to textbooks, computers, or anything else.” As businesses experience a sluggish August, they’re all preparing for what’s to come— the craziness of back to school Hokies returning for the fall.

LIFESTYLES

Sci-fi film parallels modern-day political debates
“Elysium,” the second movie from writer-director Neill Blomkamp, isn’t quite as inventive or fresh as his knockout debut, 2009’s “District 9.” But the new picture is cut from the same cloth — furiously exciting sci-fi, carefully considered and loaded with allegories and social commentary. In his fi rst foray into Hollywood studio filmmaking, Blomkamp has stayed true to his artistic instincts while delivering all the flash and pow required by a $100 million budget. Th is is a mean and dirty little B-movie, made with the gloss and scope of a grade-A blockbuster. Like “District 9,” the central premise is storybooksimple: In the year 2154, Earth’s wealthiest elite have migrated to the eponymous space station, a luxurious and pristine utopia, leaving the rest of mankind behind on a ruined, crime-ridden planet policed by robots where forced labor and slave wages are the norm. One of those factory workers, the ex-convict Max (Matt Damon), grew up looking at Elysium floating in the sky and dreamed of going there someday. But after he’s exposed to a lethal dose of radiation on the job and is given five days to live, that dream becomes a life-ordeath mission: The medical pods that can cure him exist only in Elysium. Blomkamp isn’t interested in the 1 percentile that literally floats above the lower class. With the exception of Elysium’s power-hungry secretary of defense (Jodie Foster), who ruthlessly shoots down shuttles carrying illegal immigrants trying to flee Earth, the rest of the space station’s inhabitants are faceless extras lurking in the background. The supposedly idyllic paradise, too, is rendered as an opulent playground of extravagant wealth, elegance and termi-
nal boredom, a never-ending series of dull cocktail and dinner parties hosted by bland, impeccably mannered billionaires. If this is the good life, I’d take my chances on Earth any day. At least things are exciting there. “Elysium” would have been a better, more complex film if Blomkamp hadn’t used such broad strokes in his depiction of the upper class (even Foster can’t do much but glare and give off villainous vibes). But there isn’t much time in this lean, fast-paced picture to focus on anything outside of Max’s desperate quest, which is made more difficult by an unhinged government agent (“District 9’s” Sharlto Copley) in relentless pursuit. Damon is so likable and charismatic as Max that you
always root for the character, even when he makes morally questionable decisions. The visuals and effects in “Elysium” are state-ofthe-art — the movie looks fantastic — and although Blomkamp isn’t subtle with his subtexts of class differences, racism and the importance of universal health care, he does leave them open to interpretation. “Elysium” could be read as either pro or con on opening borders for immigrants: “Look at the good that comes when you help the downtrodden!” or “Well, there goes the neighborhood!”

Though Facyson is only a freshman, he has already impressed coaches with his skills. “Facyson had a good practice tonight,” Beamer said. “I noticed him a couple of times. I think he is a sharp guy that has some height and ability… Exum is playing at such a high level, but another guy just needs to step up and play at that level too.” Freshman Kendall Fuller is also looking to get a lot of playing time. He comes to Tech as the No. 2 cornerback in the nation and many thought he would fi ll in while Exum is injured. However, defensive coordinator Bud Foster wants to start Fuller out at nickelback. “We want a guy who can be a cover guy and who can run our defense, someone we can bring pressure with – just like his brother (Kyle) did,” Foster said. “Th at’s when we’ve played our best football, when that guy is a playmaker and can run our defense.” Beamer agrees with Foster and wants to use talented players like Fuller early on before they can leave for the NFL. “I think he is a bright, smart guy and the family genes all point to him being a really good player,” Beamer said. “We are going to put him in that position and let him go… When you got good players you need to go ahead and play them.” Also annouced after practice was that wide receiver Joel Caleb may be taking some snaps as a running back this season, but not in the Alabama game. Caleb has been suspended for one game for breaking team rules. Caleb has been able to practice with the team and is working on learning the new position of tailback. Shane Beamer, running backs coach, explained that since the team lost Michael Holmes they are in need of another big back. “It was a little bit of a situation when we lost
Michael,” Beamer said. “Trey (Edmunds) was the only big back that we had… Good things happen when the ball is in Joel’s hands.” New offensive line coach Jeff Grimes is willing to mix things up to get the best possible players on the field. “There will still be a lot of musical chairs going on in the offensive line… You will see the depth chart change, almost daily,” he said. “I’m still not in a position where I’m ready to say that this guy is best at this spot. I’m certainly not ready to say who our best five are yet. That was the fi rst thing I told them at our meeting - nobody’s earned a spot yet. That’s what training camp is for.” Grimes stuck by his word, as the depth chart has already been switched around since Monday’s practice. Corey Marshall will spend training camp working as BRAD KLODOWSKI / FOR THE COLLEGIATE TIMES both defensive end and tack- Freshman cornerback Brandon Facyson (31, at left) closes in to tackle fullback Greg Gadell (47). le. He is learning the tackle position to help with depth. “We talked to Corey as a defensive staff yesterday,” Foster said. “I like where we are with our ends. We’ve got some experience, and I like the emergence of Dadi Nicholas, so I think we’ve got four guys (at end), and we’re trying to get our eight best defensive linemen out there. With returning stars like James Gayle, Luther Maddy, Derrick Hopkins and J.R. Collins and some new, but impressive players like Dadi Nicholas the defensive line is looking strong and experienced. However, right now the fi rst string spots are still undecided. Beamer was very pleased with how the kicking game is coming along. He took time to mention how impressed he was with walk-on kicker Mitchell Ludwig’s performance. “If Ludwig can continue the way he did tonight … I mean he was knocking them to the back of the end zone and out of the end zone,” he said. “So that takes care of the kickoff return.”

Cable TV declines as prices climb
collegiatetimes.com
O
ver the years, the popularity of cable television has increased dramatically. Likewise, the price for “triple play” services increased more exorbitantly. “Triple play” is a bundle of phone, television, and internet services provided by cable companies, such as Comcast, Verizon, and Time Warner Cable. According to an article on CNN, “The cost of those "triple-play" services has jumped about 6.3 percent on an annual basis for the past three years, a time when overall inflation was running barely 2 percent.” With disputes between broadcast networks and greedy cable providers, cable television begins to decline in popularity. The article states, “When Macquarie asked consumers which service they would cut first if they had to save money, a whopping 76 percent said they would get rid of their payTV service. The remaining
24 percent were split evenly between broadband Internet and wireless phone service.” However despite cables popularity, with the rise of Netflix and other streaming television options online, cable continues to become a necessity of the past. Yet cable providers want to hike prices up for their own selfish desires. This will lead to more people unable to pay their monthly cable or “triple play” payments. For example, Comcast’s television packages are considered expensive. They attempt to draw customers in by giving deals for the first six or twelve months. Most people do not read that once that set trial is finished, “regular rates will apply.” For example, the Digital Preferred package costs $49.99 per month for the fi rst six months. Th is package gives the customer around 150 channels and On Demand service. However, once the six month period
elapses, “the price ranges between $73 to $86” with extra for HBO. All of these prices do not account for Internet and phone, the other two legs of the “triple play” plan. Instead of paying these steep prices for cable television, one can buy a Netflix account for $8.99 a month. Although they do not have every television show out there, they have several original shows and many favorites. The moment that Netfl ix expands their programming, cable television will take a massive hit. Many cable networks have pulled programming from several broadcasters due to conflicts in negotiations. According to the article, “CBS blocked out its channel for Time Warner Cable customers after the cable provider refused to meet the broadcaster's rate increase demands.” The networks are the problem, and they are the largest reason why rates for cable
continue to increase. This leads to unhappy customers and broadcasters bundling the programming together, making customers pay more for the one channel they may want and several others they will never watch. One way to improve upon this situation is to allow customers to handpick the channels that they want. In that case, each person or household is paying a specific amount for only the channels they know that they will watch. There is no sense in paying extra for the “sports tier package” if the only channel you will watch on it is NFL Network. Cable television needs to watch their next step because video streaming continues to make the climb to customer satisfaction. RYAN TURK - regular columnist - junior - BIT major
