They’re known as the “workhorses” of the Undergraduate Student Government, and this year USG committees will tackle issues ranging from the lack of food diversity at Putnam dining hall to lobbying the state legislature to continue its financial backing of UConn.

USG has five committees: Student Development, Student Services, External Affairs, Funding Board and Academic Affairs. Each committee – except funding board - is backed by $1,000 to work on its initiatives and holds weekly meeting where members hone in on their respective issues.

Elena Innes, chair of Academic Affairs, said what her committee focuses on this year will be largely up to its members, but at an institution as large as UConn, there is no drought for issues.

“We’re going to compile a list and have the student body decide what issues they want us to work on,” Innes said. “We’re open to anything of an academic nature that may come up.”

Innes said the Scholastic Standards Committee of the

Each USG committee has $1,000 to work on initiatives. The committees are Student Development, Student Services, External Affairs and Funding Board and Academic Affairs.

University Senate unanimously passed a motion recently that would cut the maximum number of credits a student can transfer into UConn from 90 to 30. The vote will hop to a few more University Senate committees before the change is

made, but Innes said her committee might jump in on the issue if students are strongly opposed to that change.

Mark Sargent will chair the External Affairs Committee – a committee that rejoiced in the passage of the Next Generation

UConn legislation by the Connecticut General Assembly over the summer. With that came a commitment of $1.5 billion in state bonds over the next 10 years to expand UConn’s science and engineering programs, as well as bolster

infrastructure.

The External Affairs Committee lobbied for the bill’s passage last year, and committee member Kevin Alvarez said the group will continue its focus on the issue by lobbying for the continued passage of operating costs associated with Next Gen, which must be approved annually.

USG also plans to keep feet on the ground at the state capitol in new ways this year.

The over $1 million budget approved by the USG Senate last week allocated $10,000 to hire a lobbyist.

Student Body President Edward Courchaine said USG is working with state Rep. Gregg Haddad of Storrs on “finding someone who is best tuned in to work in the students’ interest and keep [USG] up to date on issues we might want to focus on.”

According to Funding Board Chair Parth Rana, the Funding Board will have the same goal it always does: to smoothly and fairly dole out over $540,000 to on-campus organizations who apply for USG funds. Rana said he hopes to strengthen lines of communication with the organizations his board funds, which

Humans vs. Zombies Job opportunities from Travelers coming to UConn » RHA

Insurance

By Trevor Phillips Campus Correspondent

Zombies are coming back to UConn. The Resident Hall Association (RHA) is bringing back Humans vs. Zombies to UConn for its second year, according to RHA President Jeffrey Braun, a game of tag with a twist that has been popular in the past.

Beyond events coming this year, RHA’s structure is changing. While it has previously had seven seats, RHA added an eighth board member. The Director of Advocacy is a new position this year. The latest addition to RHA’s leadership was established specifically to work with Area Councils and expand advocacy initiatives for UConn students.

RHA is a student-run association that connects students with UConn administrative departments. It governs students living in on-campus housing through the Area Councils, generates new programming for the student body to participate in and provides students with opportunities to engage in leadership roles. It represents UConn on local and national platforms.

RHA members work with the Undergraduate Student Government as well as Resident Assistants to guide the student body.

Additionally, it is very active in student life and activity planning.

Planning for new events starts with the Director of Programming. This officer

Schools in 36 districts to receive security grants

HARTFORD (AP) — Schools in 36 districts across Connecticut will receive $5 million in state grants to improve security in response to the Newtown school shootings, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Wednesday.

Malloy said the funding from the Gun Violence Prevention and Children’s Safety Act will be divided among 169 schools, which are chipping in a total of $3.9 million of their own funds for the projects. He said he expects the State Bond Commission to soon approve additional funding to cover remaining applications for security improvements at 435 schools.

Additionally, Malloy said he plans to ask the General Assembly next year to approve additional funding. In total, the governor said he expects the state will ultimately spend about $21 million on upgrades statewide.

The money will be used to reimburse the schools for infrastructure improvements including bulletproof glass, surveillance cameras, buzzer and card entry systems and panic alarms. The state isn’t providing funding to pay for security guards or police officers in schools.

“There is a desire to upgrade across the state,” Malloy said at a Capitol news conference.

Malloy said the improvements can’t stop every random act of violence, but will help ensure schools are as safe as possible.

Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman said it is unnerving that schools have to take additional measures such as adding bulletproof glass.

But, she added, “Our first obligation is to our children.”

The $5 million announced Wednesday included more than $1 million for Bridgeport schools, $463,000 for Naugatuck schools and $351,000 for Vernon schools.

DNA matches skeleton to missing woman

NEW BRITAIN (AP) — One of four skeletons found near a shopping plaza in New Britain has been identified as an East Hartford woman who went missing in 2003.

New Britain police on Wednesday said they used DNA provided by a relative to identify the remains of Joyvaline Martinez.

Her bones, along with the remains of two other women, were discovered behind a shopping plaza off Hartford Road by a hunter in 2007.

Another set of remains was discovered in the same area in 1995, and linked to a body found in Tolland, Mass.

It’s not clear if all the cases are related.

Two years ago, police identified one of the victims from the 2007 discovery as Diane Cusack, a 52-year-old woman whose last known address was in New Britain.

School bus driver charged with DUI after crash

MANCHESTER (AP) — A school bus driver faces charges of driving under the influence after the bus she was driving crashed into a van in Manchester, police said.

Melissa Forrest, 36, failed a field sobriety test at the scene of Tuesday afternoon’s accident on Main Street, police said. Forrest indicated she had not been drinking, but may have been affected by medication she had been taking, police said.

The school bus was carrying five students from Bolton home from a vocational agriculture program at Rockville High School in Vernon when it struck the rear of a wheel-chair accessible van that was stopped at a red light, authorities said.

Nobody in either vehicle was injured.

Forrest did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment. She was released after posting a $5,000 bond and is due in court on Sept. 30.

Another bus driver was brought in to take the students home, though some were picked up at the scene by their parents, said Bolton School Superintendent Kristin Heckt.

Heckt said the district was not notified until Wednesday morning that the driver had been arrested.

“Our top priority is student safety,” she said in a statement. “We are working closely with our transportation vendor, First Student, to ensure nothing like this happens again.”

Vernon School Superintendent Mary Conway said while transportation of the students is the responsibility of Bolton, she was concerned that her district also was not notified in a timely manner of the accident.

“It was a fender-bender,” she said. “But these are our students. We would have sent an administrator out, even a school nurse to ensure that our students were cared for.”

Olive oil business sues Waterbury over flooding

WATERBURY (AP) — A Waterbury olive oil business and the owner of the building where it leased space are suing the city and others over destructive flooding last year.

The building in which the Olive Oil Factory operated was flooded during an environmental remediation project in September 2012. The company lost equipment, inventory and materials in the flood and moved to another site.

The company and the building owner, Miller Properties, are suing the city, three contractors and the building’s previous owner to recoup their losses.

Dorms serve as a home away from home Travelers

provides job info

By Cheyenne Haslett Campus Correspondent Dorm privacy can be a controversial subject¬– the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure in a persons home, but a question arises over whether a dorm can be considered a student’s “home.”

The National Association of College and University Attorneys describes a student’s university residence as their “home away from home,” but also raises the point that all dorms are owned by the university or college attended by the student.

Pamela Schipani, director of Residential Life, corroborates this point.

“The dorms on campus are owned by the state of Connecticut and managed by the Department of Residential Life.

Students and the University have an agreement about the rights and responsibilities of each party,” she said.

The University has drawn a line between the rights of the resident and the rights of the property owners, which in this case is UConn. These rights are outlined in the On-Campus Housing Contract, specifically in section three, which states that a student has the right to be notified before any staff members enter his or her room. The contract also states that staff members will not enter a student’s room without consent of the student; however, there are exceptions to this policy.

Staff members can enter a student’s room without permission for facility improvements (this includes repairs or maintenance), recovery of University or state owned property, health inspections, during an emergency or when there is “reliable information” that a University policy is being violated.

“Students must agree to the On-Campus Housing Contract with they apply for housing

or the online application cannot be submitted. In addition, Resident Assistant, Assistant Residence Hall Directors, Hall Directors and other staff who work with students living in the residence halls educate students about various topics covered in the contract,” said Schipani.

Yet some incoming freshmen are still working to get a handle on these rights and responsibilities.

include all Tier-II organizations - from club sports to cultural centers.

“We need to make sure we are as efficient as possible and do our best to ensure UConn students get what they want and throw the best events on campus,” Rana said. “I want to be more in contact with [these groups] and get to know them on a personal level.”

Kailee Himes, chair of the Student Services Committee, a new committee that branched off from USG’s previous Student Affairs Committee, said Student Services will focus on issues associated with parking, dining halls and dorms.

“We also want to look into laundry,” Himes said, referring to an issue that USG took up last year. “Work on that project kind of died out over the summer, and we want to pick it back up.”

USG Senators met with UConn administrators last year about potentially switching to an “e-Laundry” system that would link washing machines with a computer program that would allow students to check their laundry’s status remotely.

Himes said she is also planning meetings with Dining Services and ResLife to get her committee’s initiatives rolling.

Student Development Committee is the other arm of the prior Student Affairs Committee and will be chaired

by Hailey Manfredi.

“We focus on the culture on campus and the social aspect,” Manfredi said. “This year, we want to focus on the relationship with athletics, especially after the logo change, and how to up attendance at games like field hockey and volleyball where there’s not a lot of turnout.”

All USG Senators are required to sit on a committee, but any UConn student can be a member of one. Students can join a committee by contacting USG Chief of Staff John Giardina at chiefofstaff@usg. uconn.edu.

Jordan Ginsberg, a 1st semester biology major, who is used to dorm-style living after four years of boarding school, said that while she knew there were rights, she didn’t read them.

“I have never felt like my space or personal business was intruded upon, but I went to boarding school which had regular room checks so this feels like I have more than enough privacy,” she said.

The 2013-2014 On-Campus Housing Contract can be found on the Department of Residential Life’s website, reslife.uconn.edu.

Military base shootings shake sense of security (AP) Armed guards stand at the gates. IDs are needed to pass through electronic barriers. And uniformed members of the American military — well-trained and battle-tested — are everywhere, smartly saluting as they come and go.

And yet, twice in less than four years, a person with permission to be there passed through the layers of protection at a U.S. base and opened fire, destroying the sense of security at the installations that embody the most powerful military in the world.

“It is earth-shattering. When military bases are no longer safe, where is safe if that even doesn’t exist anymore?” said Col. Kathy Platoni, a reservist who keeps a gun under her desk after witnessing the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, when Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 people.

In the wake of this week’s deadly rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the Pentagon to review security at all U.S. defense installations worldwide and examine the granting of security clearances that allow access to them.

“We will find those gaps and we will fix those gaps,” Hagel vowed on Wednesday.

After Fort Hood, the military tightened security at bases nationwide. Those measures included

issuing security personnel longbarreled weapons, adding an insider-attack scenario to their training, and strengthening ties to local law enforcement, said Peter Daly, a vice admiral who retired from the Navy in 2011. The military also joined an FBI intelligence-sharing program aimed at identifying terror threats.

Then, on Monday, Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist who held a security clearance as an information technology employee at a defense company, used a valid pass to get into the Washington Navy Yard and killed 12 people before dying in a gun battle with police.

The attack has raised questions about the adequacy of the background checks done on government contractors who hold security clearances.

Hagel acknowledged “a lot of red flags” may have been missed in the background of the gunman, who had a history of violent behavior and was said to be hearing voices recently.

Many of the security improvements adopted after 9/11 and Fort Hood were created largely with terrorism in mind, not unstable individuals with no apparent political agenda. Those threats can be more difficult to detect.

Starbucks’ progressive ways draw fire on guns NEW YORK (AP) — Starbucks will run full-page ads in major U.S. newspapers Thursday, telling customers that guns are no longer welcome in its cafes. But the company is stopping short of an outright ban, exposing the fine line it needs to walk on a highly divisive issue.

The Seattle-based company, which has always set itself apart by taking strong positions on progressive political issues, now finds itself at the center of a fight it didn’t start.

In recent months, gun control advocates have been pressuring Starbucks to ban firearms, while supporters of gun rights have celebrated the company’s decision to defer to local laws.

“We are not pro-gun or antigun,” CEO Howard Schultz said in an interview, noting that customers will still be served if they choose to a carry gun.

About a month ago, Starbucks shut down a store in Newtown, Connecticut early to avoid a demonstration by gun rights advocates. The town is home to the elementary school where a gunman killed 20 young children and six educators in December.

The demonstrators had planned to stage a “Starbucks Appreciation Day,” bringing their firearms and turning the company into an unwitting supporter of gun rights.

Support for guns runs counter to the Starbucks image.

The warm feeling Starbucks customers get when they’re sipping lattes doesn’t always come from the coffee. For some, part of the brand’s attraction is the company’s liberal-leaning support of gay marriage and environ-

mental issues. At least some of Starbucks’ more than $13 billion in annual revenue is derived from people who agree with the company’s views.

But with some 7,000 company-owned stores across the country —in both conservative and liberal-leaning states— Starbucks is being forced to tread carefully with its special blend of politics and commerce.

Many states allow people to carry licensed guns in some way, but some businesses exercise their right to ban firearms. They can do so because their locations are considered private property. Starbucks isn’t the only company that doesn’t ban guns, but it has become a target for gun control advocates, in part because of its corporate image.

“This is a coffee company that has championed progressive issues,” said Shannon Watts, founder of the gun reform group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. “They’ve positioned themselves about being about the human spirit — that was so at odds with this policy that allowed guns inside their stores.”

Starbucks’ mission statement is to “inspire and nurture the human spirit” and over the years, it has taken strong positions on a number of thorny issues. Earlier this year, the company banned smoking within 25 feet (7.62 meters) of its stores, wherever its leases allowed. The idea was to extend its no-smoking policy to the outdoor seating areas, regardless of state laws on the matter.

At the company’s annual meeting in March, a shareholder stood to criticize Starbucks’

support of marriage equality.

Schultz told the man it was a free country and that he could sell his shares.

Starbucks has also been vocal about its health-care benefits for workers. And the company says it only does business with coffee farmers who pay workers decent wages and farm in an environmentally friendly way.

Such stances explain why Moms Demand Action, which was founded the day after the

mass shootings in Newtown has been urging Starbucks to ban guns with its “Skip Starbucks Saturdays.”

In turn, gun rights advocates have been galvanized by the company’s decision to defer to local laws and staged the “Starbucks Appreciation Days.”

Schultz said the events mischaracterized the company’s stance on the issue and the demonstrations “have made our customers uncomfort-

able.”

He said he hopes people will honor the request not to bring in guns but says the company will nevertheless serve those who do.

The Seattle-based company plans to buy ad space in major national newspapers including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and USA Today to run an open letter from Schultz explaining the decision.

Phillip Hofmeister, presi-

dent of gun rights group Michigan Open Carry Inc., said he respects the right of private businesses such as Starbucks to determine its own gun policies. But he noted that the message was confusing.

“They’re trying to make people like myself feel unwelcome but it’s not an outright ban,” said Hofmeister, who said he has been carrying a gun in public where permitted for the past several years.

ELLENWOOD, Ga. (AP) — A 14-year-old Georgia girl abducted in a home invasion robbery was found alive on Wednesday after a wide search by several law enforcement agencies, and two suspects were in custody, police said.

Ayvani Hope Perez had been taken from her suburban Atlanta home early Tuesday after authorities said armed robbers broke in, demanded money and jewelry and were told there was none.

Authorities said Wednesday they hadn’t established a motive for the abduction.

Clayton County Police Chief Gregory Porter said the girl was found in a nearby community, Conyers, and has since been reunited with her family.

“She’s in good health, she’s being evaluated as we speak,” Porter said.

Wildrego Jackson, 29, faces a federal charge of conspiracy to kidnap. The police chief also said Juan Alberto Contreras-Rodriguez, a 40-year-old Mexican national, has been arrested on immigration-related charges.

He did not elaborate further.

It was not immediately known if the two men had lawyers. Henry County sheriff ’s records indicate that a man named Juan Alberto Contreras-Ramirez was arrested on drug trafficking charges in December of 2012, but the charges were later dropped. A federal official confirmed that man was Contreras-Rodriguez.

He and Jackson were not the men identified in police sketches released Tuesday, FBI Special Agent Rick Maxwell said. Investigators are still looking for tips about the two men pictured in the sketches, Maxwell added.

When asked at a news conference whether the suspects in custody knew Ayvani and her family, Maxwell said only that “we have not determined the relationship between those people.”

The FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted Clayton County police in the search.

Authorities have said two men wearing black clothing and armed with handguns pried open a back door of the

home in the Ellenwood area around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday, demanding the family’s valuables, authorities said.

Police said the armed men fatally shot the family’s dog during the home invasion.

The family had moved in about a month ago and apparently didn’t know the suspects, authorities said.

Ayvani’s mother had her daughter and her 15-year-old son hiding inside the home, but the intruders were able to find them, police said in a statement. The men abducted Ayvani with no explanation, police added.

The crime occurred on a culde-sac in Ellenwood, a small community about 10 miles southeast of Atlanta populated by two-story homes, police said.

Voyager missions to space are a global achievement

O

ne week ago, one of the most improbable feats in human history occurred. The Voyager 1 spacecraft left the solar system, which NASA confirmed after almost a year of debate. In 36 years, Voyager 1 has traveled about 12 billion miles, making it the farthest man-made object from earth and the first man-made object to enter interstellar space. Voyager 2, its twin, should enter interstellar space soon.

The fact that the human race has a presence outside our solar system is truly incredible- the stuff of science fiction. Almost every aspect of the Voyager program has been similarly unbelievable.

Voyager 1 and 2 are success stories of epic proportions.

The twin probes were designed to last five years, just long enough to study Saturn and Jupiter, but instead they have lasted decades and were able to explore Neptune, Uranus, and 48 of their moons as well. 11,000 work years went into the Voyager mission just between its inception and the probe’s encounter with Jupiter, which is estimated to be about one third of the work hours it took to build the Great Pyramid at Giza. While passing Jupiter, the probes survived radiation levels 1,000 times greater than those lethal to human.

The Voyager probes took advantage of a rare planetary alignment to use a flight trajectory that swung them around each planet in the direction of the next, allowing them to reach speeds of roughly 35,700 miles per hour, all without significant onboard propulsion systems. How fast is that? Traveling at 60 miles per hour, it would take about 22,000 years to go as far as Voyager 1 has.

Over the last few decades, the Voyager probes have sent back many new discoveries, including volcanic activity on one of Jupiter’s moons and 10 undiscovered moons around Uranus and six around Neptune. Now, they’ll send back information about a completely unexplored region of space. The probes should have enough power to last for another decade.

While Voyager is an American project, it’s an endeavor on a global scale. Scientists from all over the world worked on Voyager, and the antenna complexes that control and receive information from the spacecraft are located on three different continents.

When talking about the voyager mission, there’s a tendency for people to speak of it as a collective action. “We have left the solar system.” There’s something fascinating and inclusive about this. Voyager is an achievement for humanity, not just for one country or generation. It’s an event that the whole world can appreciate, a historic first that brings us all together as people.

Republicans and Democrats to blame for nullification

T

he past few years of increased political polarization have produced an array of unconventional methods of legislating.

Both major parties are taking their efforts to gain leverage to new extremes, and the most dangerous and detrimental of those methods is nullification.

Nullification is the practice of states passing laws in an attempt to invalidate federal laws. The supposed justification is that the states originally formed the Union, so their authority is higher than that of the federal government, and they have the right

By Kristi Allen to interpret the Weekly Columnist Constitution as they see fit, even if their interpretations are contrary to the federal interpretation.

Nullification is a complicated legal argument, and it’s by no means fully summed up by the above paragraph, but the basic premise is that states can do anything they want, without any checks or balances. It sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the political process.

Most recent nullification attempts have come from the far right. In the past two years, 23 states have considered passing laws meant to Invalidate the Affordable Care Act. Montana, Kansas and Missouri have all passed or attempted to pass gun laws that would in some way exempt their citizens from federal gun regulations. Unfortunately, this isn’t just another instance of insanity coming out of the right wing; it’s a will-

fully ignorant and dangerous movement that weakens the credibility of the government at all levels. And worst of all, it’s happening in both parties.

The irony of nullification, which is done in the name of constitutionality, is that it’s flagrantly unconstitutional. The Supremacy clause in Article VI of the Constitution states that, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof...shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.”

The states did create the Union- they drafted the constitution and signed off on the passaging ceding power to it. If every state is allowed a different interpretation of the Constitution, then it means nothing.

The supreme law of the nation becomes a suggestion.

There is a system in place to allow the states to challenge the federal governmentthe courts. Proponents of nullification seem to be slow on the uptake, but the courts have had supreme authority in interpreting the constitution since 1803. The idea of nullification has been around since 1789, and it has been cited in numerous cases, but it has never been upheld legally. So, the “precedent” for nullification is a precedent of failure and rejection.

Historically, nullification has been used in attempts to uphold the Fugitive Slave Act, resist desegregation and even escalated into secession with the Civil War. Naturally, it’s frightening when people want to revisit the policies that brought about those disasters.

These states claim that they’re trying to keep the federal government from gaining more power, but in reality they’re strengthening the government by destroying one of

the checks on its power. Ignoring the role of the courts throws judicial review out the window and lets the Constitution be interpreted by the lawmakers. And if the states don’t follow the constitution, why should the federal government?

It’s not just the red states that are engaging in nullification. Washington has been ignoring its own rules for quite some time, but the Obama administration does so publicly, as a political maneuver. In refusing to enforce immigration policies and defend DOMA in court, the president deliberately circumvented checks and balances in the legislative and judicial branches. The president takes an oath to enforce the laws of this country. Just like the states, he can’t choose which provisions of his job he likes. While I support immigration reform and believe that DOMA was unconstitutional, a government with no limits to its power will be a much bigger civil rights issue than either of those things.

The most dangerous thing about nullification is that it creates a power struggle that only escalates. If both sides of the aisle engage in nullification (as they did before the civil war), where does it stop? I’m not saying we’re headed towards another Civil War, but it’s important to recognize that nullification has the ability to destabilize the country completely.

Crying “unconstitutional” isn’t the way to solve problems. We have a system in place for dealing with disputes over the interpretation of laws, and regardless of whether or not the system rules in your favor, the rule of law must be upheld.

here is a serious problem with our country and we are all too blind to realize that we are the problem.

Celebrities make a much higher salary than our regular laborers and it is not the industry’s fault or even the media’s. The ones to blame are those in the general public who are so engrossed by the gossip that they refuse to not keep updated. If we really wanted to make a difference in this matter we would simply stop sponsoring the overpaid entertainers as if there was no other option.

We try to

By Amaris Vázquez blame the Staff Columnist media as if they are at fault when they are just giving their viewers what they ask for. Do we truly believe that the entertainment networks, tabloids or radio stations would invest so much time and money exposing celebrities’ lives were it not for the audience? They only follow the trends most sought after by their viewers, readers and listeners.

To put things into perspective

let’s consider some of our current entertainers’ monetary situations. Miley Cyrus’ net worth is $150 million. This is someone who causes controversy every time she steps on a stage, most of the time she makes a music video and about half the time she speaks. Consider one of her latest performances for this matter. As many of you may have heard and seen by now, her performance at the Video Music Awards on August 25th caused a great deal of debate. Her highly inappropriate performance alongside Robin Thicke resulted in 150 complaints to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and has continued to be one of the most talked about topics until only recently. Yet, people seem to forget that the continued mention and the extremes to which it has been taken only fuels the fire. These entertainers want us to keep talking about them without worrying whether it is good or bad press. Fame is money and infamy is often even more money. The public can keep talking badly about her and the unfairness of it all as much as they would like but in the end

it must be accepted that we are the reason for this continued success.

This is true for all entertainers. We can argue endlessly at how unfair the money distribution falls in our country, and in turn, the world, but as long as we keep sponsoring it with our attention we are only being hypocritical. The audience encourages the networks and media to give us what is most talked about and once this happens we forfeit complaint rights as we are responsible for their popularity.

The fact that Beyonce’s net worth is $300 million, Justin Bieber’s is $130 million, Kim Kardashian’s is $40 million and Snooki’s is $4 million is based on the publicity they receive. It is still more difficult to grasp this when most of these artists attained their popularity through bad reputation.

Here we have people who the public mostly comment negatively on making millions while us “regular” folk make annual salaries that would be considered pocket change by most entertainers. Paramedics make an annual salary of about $30,700, registered nurses

$65,690, police $55,000 and firefighters $42,500. It is my honest opinion that the personnel who willingly put their lives on the line and dedicate their careers solely to the health and safety of the general population ought to be paid more than our entertainers.

Especially when a paramedic can then save the lives of those who might have had a heart attack following Ms. Cyrus’ VMA’s performance.

If we really meant it when we said that something should be done about the income inequality most of us are victims to, then we would actually act on it. The media industry would not pay its entertainers the obscene amounts of money it currently does if it did not have a reason to. Our hypocrisy knows no end when it comes to this matter. This is something the government cannot fix for us. It is a problem caused by the audience and only the audience holds the solution.

Everything worth photographing is in Calif.

By Zarrin Ahmed Staff Writer

Guest speaker Doctor Audrey Goodman brought the significance and beauty of California into the Benton during her lecture titled “Everything Worth Photographing is in California: Edward Weston and Modernism’s Exploratory Gaze” on Wednesday afternoon.

Dr. Goodman is a Professor and Associate Chair of 19th and 20th Century American Literature and Southwestern Studies at Georgia State University, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in American Realism and Naturalism, literary modernism, Southwestern American literature, regional and landscape studies, and Native American literature.

She’s received fellowships from the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Research Center in Santa Fe and the Huntington Library in Pasadena, writing about the literary and visual cultures of the American Southwest. Her recent projects include photographic portraits by Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, the iconography of the Atomic Age, the poetics of wandering, and networks of women artists and photographers in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Mexico City.

“Everything Wo r t h Photographing is in California” is a quote from American photographer Edward Weston (1886-1958).

Dr. Goodman, after thanking the Departments of Art, Art History, American Studies and the Humanities Institute, began her lecture by telling the audience not to be offended. Addressing the boldness of the statement, Dr. Goodman explained how she would explore California’s emerging view in the modern world which included displaying highly selective photographs taken of the California as an idea of the last frontier.

The first question many artists asked about repre-

For Montreal-based band Arcade Fire’s fans, October has been an important month since January when rumors of a fourth album filtered through the music world.

Their first release since 2010, “Reflektor” will drop on October 29. Preceding the album, the band released an eponymous single, “Reflektor,” which gives fans a tantalizing look at the prospects of the group’s fourth album. The edgy, whispered vocals combined with the synthetic, but also rock ‘n’ roll melodies that Arcade Fire made its name from, have most fans feeling like the band’s fourth endeavor will be just as satisfying as the first three.

“The Suburbs,” released in 2010, definitely gave the band attention they were unaccustomed to. They won the 53rd Annual Grammy for Best Album and the Canadian equivalent, the Polaris Prize.

“The Suburbs” put the band’s name on the mainstream map, but the previous two albums were equally genius as “The Suburbs,” but had a darker, more ethereal feel to them.

“Neon Bible” and “Funeral” contemplated mortality, whereas “The Suburbs” looks to the past and future for thematic cues.

“Reflektor” seems to be mixing the two styles. The pop-rock ambiance of “The Suburbs” is very present in the upbeat tone of the single, but the underlying ideas

senting California (or anything, for that matter) was, “what subjects deserve to be captured, documented, and transformed into art?” The practice of photography and the meaning of place rely greatly on the consideration of subject matter. Looking at the reputation of California as a golden land, but also one that can be a ruthless mosaic of interdependent and interlocking landscapes, Dr. Goodman demonstrated how artists have captured the character of the state.

and the avant-garde artistry of the song has the aura of 2004’s “Funeral.”

Regine Chassange’s flighty vocals come in full force on the single as she backs up husband Winn Butler, something that lacked in “The Suburbs.” Hopefully Chassange will have more of a voice on this album, as she had in the first two.

Another anticipated facet of the album is Chassange and Butler’s marriage and child.

The couple married during a previous album, but fans are wondering if the birth of their child will bring a new light to band’s material. It will be interesting to see how parenthood influences the content in their songs. Family has always been a large part of Arcade Fire’s content, especially on songs like “Haiti” from “Funeral” which concerns Chassange’s own family history as immigrants from Haiti. In the song she sings about her family members that were murdered as part of Dictator Duvalier’s reign.

Similarly, “The Suburbs” and “Neon Bible” all include tracks about family, growing up and childhood. These concepts are clearly influential on “The Suburbs” as seen on tracks like “Modern Man” and “Suburban War.” All of the excitement around “Reflektor” will culminate on October 29, when the album drops. In the meantime fans can tune into Saturday Night Live on Saturday September 28 at 11 p.m.

many photos of plants found in the state while Brigman posed her own body against the landscape. Brigman used her own portrait in sites that she knew well, juxtaposing her skin with the roughness of the exterior and creating definitive textures.

After showcasing many examples and photographs of California as taken by these 20th century artists, Dr. Goodman stayed a while longer to answer questions from the audience.

Benton, on a screen set up in front of rows of chairs, Dr. Goodman projected images taken by artists like Edward Weston, Anne Brigman and Imogen Cunningham while explaining how they portrayed the landscape, from a podium. The three artists, including Willard Van Dyke, Ansel Adams, Sonya Noskowiak and Henry Swift, composed Group f/64, a group of 20th century San Francisco photographers who shared a common photographic style characterized by sharply focused and care-

fully framed images.

Drawing on sites like Yosemite, which represented openness, freedom and youth, Dr. Goodman described how these artists transformed views on California by photographing aspects of the Californian landscape that drew on pre-existing notions of the state. With particular focus on Weston, Dr. Goodman described how the importance of the photographs were in the relationship between the photographer and his subject. For example, Cunningham shot

Nutritional lecturer speaks of fitter but fatter mice The United States is one of the most obese countries in the world. The obesity rate continues to increase as it is directly linked to the increase of prevalence of diabetes.

However, approximately 20 percent of these people are not affected. In fact, they are as healthy as people who are within the normal body mass index (BMI) range.

This interesting phenomenon has been a research topic for many years.

The Department of Nutritional Sciences invited Dr. Martin Obin, a scientist from USDA Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University, to hold a seminar regarding metabolically healthy obesity through mouse models.

He began with the emphasis on the relationship of inflammation and insulin resistance.

An increase in sedentary behavior and over nutrition causes the enlargement of normal adipose tissues and an increase in immune cell recruitment inflammation.

This results in the increase of insulin resistance, glucose and lipids as well as a flux of fatty acid, and ultimately, type 2 diabetes.

Pictures of two relatively similar-looking overweight men were shown. One was a man who was insulin sensitive, fat but fit. The other was a man who was insulin

Now that we’re three weeks into the semester, the weather is starting to make the transition to the balmy mid-30s that we have become accustomed to at UConn. In my opinion, the cold is best avoided, but when that’s not possible, there’s nothing like coming back inside from the chilly weather to find a nice, hot bowl of soup waiting for you.

I’m sure I don’t have to sell the virtues of a savory, nostalgic chicken noodle soup or the warming qualities of a good bowl of minestrone, but what about those other soups that don’t share as much of the public eye?

One great soup to try in the cold fall and winter months is borscht, a classic Eastern European beetroot soup.

Beetroot is the main ingredient, giving it a dark, reddishpurple color, but the broth is often beef or pork-based.

The best borscht I’ve ever had hidden potatoes beneath its opaque surface, and it was flavored with garlic and dill.

It was garnished with a sprig of coriander, and a dollop of sour cream was added to taste. This is a hearty soup, perfect for warming up after a hard 10-minute walk across campus.

For those of you who like a little more kick in your food, I recommend Tom Yum, a Thai soup. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffir, lime leaves, galangal, lime juice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers. The soup often includes meats such as chicken, beef, pork or shrimp, though prawns are the usual choice. The flavor is both hot and sour, which is something of a departure from most Western soups, but I definitely recommend anyone who’s a little adventurous giving this one a try.

Those who are not quite so adventurous might be inclined to settle down with a big bowl of gumbo. Originating from southern Louisiana, gumbo is a versatile soup that can include all different kinds of meat or be entirely vegetarian.

Gumbo commonly consists of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener and seasoning vegetables, which can include celery, bell peppers and onions. The soup is then thickened with one of the following: the African vegetable okra, the Choctaw spice filé powder (dried and ground sassafras leaves) or roux, the French base made of flour and fat. I personally prefer okra, but any of the others are definitely worth a taste.

If you’re looking to cut calories, a nice light soup to try is miso soup, a classic traditional Japanese soup. At its most basic, miso soup consists of a stock called “dashi” into which softened miso (traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting rice, barley and/or soybeans with salt and the fungus kōjikin, the most typical miso being made with soy) paste is mixed. Miso soup typically contains mushrooms, daikon (an East Asian radish), carrots, potatoes, tofu and fish.

There are of course tons of other delicious soups from all over the world that all merit attention, but I hope my readership takes the time try the ones I’ve plugged today. You won’t regret it!

Jack Johnson goes eclectic in new album

By Emily Herbst Staff Writer

Coffee shop-rock veteran Jack Johnson delights fans with his sixth studio album, “From Here to Now to You”an EP that celebrates each and all of life’s simplicities.

The 12 tracks are nearly all acoustic, but a hint of country seeps into much of the album.

A Hawaii native, Johnson produces music to swing on hammocks by and nap to, but keeps in mind those who reside North of his island oasis, invoking a highly outdoorsy feel.

The opener for the album is “I Got You,” an uncomplicated track that likely alludes to his love for his wife; “this weight is too much alone…you take it on for me, when tomorrow’s too much.”

“Washing Dishes” message is just as self-explanatory. In this song, he admits, although he may be performing menial labor, (literally or figuratively “washing dishes”) it’s the resulting humility that completes his character in the end.

I honestly couldn’t make sense of the next song, “Cool Song No. 2.”

Perhaps it’s just for cool people to understand. Take a shot at it.

“Mystery Disease” wasn’t all that bad, but I think it’s the offbeat yet somehow catchy drums and female-like vocals that made it.

After that comes “Introspection,” which provides an optimistic and upbeat sound before diving into the weird sounds of “Your Life Is A Lie” and “A Good Sadness.”

The album ended well with “An Orphan of Fortune,” a hazy song that seems to drag each note and circle them around and around.

There’s no doubt that the group went through some significant effort in producing this albumeverything was new and unlike anything I’ve ever heard. There’s also no doubt that MGMT wants their listeners to find more than just a catchy beat to their songs; they want people to really take the songs in and for each song to hold meaning to the listener. It’ll just take a little dedication.

Songs to listen to: “Introspection” “An Orphan of Fortune”

Zarrin.Ahmed@UConn.edu

Let’s set this straight: pertaining to entertainment right now, for the most part, you’re either skipping class playing the hell out of “GTA V,” or listening to Drake’s leaked album “Nothing Was the Same.”

But today, I’ve chosen to discuss the latter. I’m sure the whole world knows now, but for the sake of this issue and for people who for some reason haven’t turned on a computer or stepped out their house since Sunday night, here’s the special announcement: The album is out. And millions of people are passing around the download links like a blazing hot two for one deal. It has been pretty real lately.

As Eric Diep, author of XXL Magazine puts it, “Not even Drake is safe from an album leak.”

With that said, let’s shift gears. So, I consider myself a, “traditional hip-hop head.”

I will often listen to OutKast, MF DOOM or the late great J Dilla. And Prince.

Can’t forget Prince. Anyway, Drake has always been the artist knocking on the door of my iTunes Library, but I haven’t found a legit reason to let him join the party.

I’ve often said, “He’s a talented artist, but just not my sound.”

However, that all changed Sunday night when I received a text message from Charisse Weir, a senior at SCSU and close friend of mine, saying: “Yo! The album leaked…”

After going on a cyberscavenger hunt, I found the record and played it several times.

Hours passed, and after playing the album thoroughly, I personally had to loose myself of my restricting, “traditional hip-hop head” mentality and utter these words: “Wheelchair Jimmy, this is a great album.”

Yes, “October’s Very Own” delivered a great record. As assumed, this isn’t a straight rap album. To put it in perspective, think of this record as Drake blending the best bits of “So Far Gone,” with his new matured sound and lyrical approach. The subject matter hasn’t changed much, but there’s a consistent balance of substance, insight to detail and newly formatted production this time around.

For those “he doesn’t rap enough or isn’t lyrical” heads, this is his most lyrically poised effort yet.

For some, “It’s going to be a slow burn,” according to Foster Kamer, a Senior Editor at Complex states.

Drake has yet to gain approval from certain listeners in hip-hop. To hiphop purists and social media, Drake is the Keith Sweat of Simp Rap with an Al B. Sure complex. As Keith puts, it’s in his trademark song, “NOBODY” in that group wants to rock with him. But for that group and everybody else, and as a “traditional hip-hop head” myself, I say this: Forget it not being a trueto-form hip-hop record; this is one of the best albums of the year so far, and the best Drake album in his discography. Listen with an open mind.

Will and Company acting troupe shines light on figures lost to history

By Nathan Seper Campus Correspondent When creating “Faces of America,” which sought to truly examine America’s multiculturalism, Will and Company founder and Artistic Director Colin Cox interviewed many college students in an attempt to understand them.

But what he also seemed to understand was that most college students lacked understanding of the many figures of all backgrounds who helped change America.

“You feel that the fourth grade textbook was lacking of diversity and multiculturalism on the representation of American history, “ said Cox. “We should tell those stories.” Which is what is told in Portraits of Courage: Latinos Shaping a Nation.

The play, produced in part

by USG, the Puerto Rican/ Latin American Cultural Center and UConn’s Latino Student Association, which was presented at the Student Union Theater, is part of series of plays that attempts to show the diverse but obscure range of figures who have changed America and include: Native American Visions, African American Visions, African Americans: Soul of a Nation, American Women in Science and Gam Saan: Asians in America. In Latinos Shaping a Nation two actors, Nicolas Ortega, and Jessica Meza portray six relatively unknown Latino figures who have helped shape America.

The play begins with a monologue on how Latinos have always shaped America and how Tejano culture doesn’t exist without Mexicans. We then cut to Gustavo Garcia, the first Mexican American who argued before the Supreme Court. Portrayed brilliantly by Ortega, he takes on the Supreme Court to allow Mexican Americans on juries in his home state of Texas, so that his client could have a fair trial in a jury among his peers. But before the ruling is heard, the play makes an interesting observation.

Both in the play and in real life, Garcia is asked in court if he is American born. He replies, “My family has been living in Texas

for over a hundred years, before some guy named Sam Houston moved down to Texas.” To me this is where the purpose of the play is underscored: Latinos have always shaped America, whether it was called America at the time or not.

“The purpose of this event is to spread awareness of Latino culture,” said Cristiana Cutz, 5thsemester psychology major, as well as the public relations officer at the Latino Student Association.

“I loved it,” said Francine Quintino, 3rd-semester psychology major, as well as Secretary of the Latino Student Association. “I saw it at CCSU it was a fun way to show Latino heritage.”

The play continues with the story of Andrea Perez, a Hispanic woman who argued against the anti-miscegenation laws so she could marry her black fiancé, Luisa Moreno, a labor leader already fighting for labor before Cesar Chavez, who lost her American citizenship.

Following the story of Perez was another Latino who helped shape Latin America, Roberto Clemente, the Puerto Rican star of the Pirates who broke the Hispanic barrier for baseball like Jackie Robinson did for African-Americans. There was also a discussion on the way undocumented Latinos are often targeted by recruitment agencies to fight America’s wars, yet are told they don’t get a green card, as well as the 44 Latinos who have earned the Medal of Honor since the civil war.

The play then went on to discuss Sylvia Rivera’s role as a transgender activist who helped launch the Stonewall Riots and America’s gay rights movement.

After the play, one left with a great understanding of how our country was founded not just by Latinos, but also those figures lost to history. Most people never heard of these figures before coming to the play, like Abeid Anslip, a 1stsemester biology major.

“I learned more about Latinos and this country than I ever thought,” Anslip said.

Michael C. Hall ready to say goodbye to ‘Dexter,’ final show airs Sunday

AP

Michael C. Hall, at the premiere of “Kill Your Darlings,” on day 6 of the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto. Hall has played Dexter Morgan, the titular character of Dexter, for eight seasons.

NEW YORK (AP) — Dexter Morgan’s life seemed wellordered at first glance, including the serial killer thing. That turned out to be unsustainable.

As “Dexter” reaches its finale, to air on Showtime Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern, the character portrayed by actor Michael C. Hall is no longer strictly ruled by the code set down by his adoptive father upon noticing his son craved killing. Dexter was told only to murder people who are proven killers themselves and likely to kill again, and to thoroughly cover his tracks. The narrative device made it possible for viewers to tolerate, even like, someone who did reprehensible things.

“He’s so far from anything I experienced him to be at the beginning,” Hall said over lunch, a few weeks after filming the 96th and final episode of the series that began in 2006.

“He’s the same character, but he’s in many ways a different person,” Hall said. “He had success-

fully compartmentalized efficient killing and convinced himself that he is, in fact, incapable of authentic human emotion when we first met him. But that all falls apart, slowly but surely.”

Without the writers providing challenges, “Dexter” ran the risk of becoming an unimaginative murder-of-the-week procedural.

Dexter’s boundaries were most severely tested at the end of the fourth season when his wife, Rita, was killed and in season six when his half-sister, Debra (real life exwife Jennifer Carpenter), saw him knifing someone in the chest.

“I’ve always thought that it was more interesting to challenge the audience’s affection for the character and to move him into choppy waters,” Hall said.

He can appreciate people who say they like his work in “Dexter.” People who say they like Dexter is something else entirely, although Hall has his theories about those fans.

have an increasing sense that we’re not in control ... and Dexter, in his micro way, controls his universe and that is very appealing to some people,” he said. “We all have a sense of injustice in the world, and Dexter is certainly exacting some form of justice within the confines of his own.”

Of course, he said, “maybe it’s not that deep. Maybe people have murderous impulses they don’t act upon and enjoy watching somebody who gets away with it.”

“Dexter” is going out strong.

Ratings are higher during the current eighth and last season than they’ve ever been. That’s a familiar pattern for many criticallyacclaimed cable series that see their audiences grow as new fans discover the stories and binge on them while the show is on hiatus.

The series was pivotal to Showtime’s development, said Matthew Blank, the network’s chief executive. “It really felt like this is what Showtime should be,”

he said. “Homeland” and “Ray Donovan” may not have existed without its example.

Showtime will look for ways to keep the character alive even after “Dexter” ends, Blank said. He wasn’t clear on how that would happen.

Hall, 42, is measured in how he makes sure to say nothing revealing in advance about the finale (“Some people will be happy with it, some people will be troubled by it,” he said. “Perhaps some people will be a combination of those things.”)

He will miss certain things about playing Dexter. The character was decisive and didn’t hesitate to take action, even at times of extreme stress and even when that action was morally questionable. He’s looking forward to portraying people whose emotions are not stunted or buried.

Many fellow actors and friends told Hall he was making a mistake when he took the role of Dexter. A show about a serial killer? Who’d want to watch that?

“I’ve certainly had the thought that I should quit while I was well ahead,” he said. “When ‘Six Feet Under’ ended, I imagined I would never do another television series, just because I thought it would be impossible that I would be so lucky that I would find something as successful. I’ve learned never to say never.”

Projects that aren’t open-ended like a TV series are interesting to him now. He was very active onstage before joining “Six Feet Under.” He’s filmed roles in two movies that aren’t big stretches from past characters: a manipulative, gay janitor who gets murdered in “Kill Your Darlings” and a man who shoots and kills an intruder in “Cold in July.”

“I don’t think I’m anybody’s first thought when it comes to romantic comedy,” he said. “That might be a door I’ll have to do some kicking to break down.”

COLIN MOCHRIE & BRAD SHERWOOD

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A handful of HIV-positive porn actors called on the adult film industry Wednesday to require that condoms be used on all film sets, saying a recent outbreak of infections proves the industry’s mandate that performers be tested every 14 days isn’t working.

The actors spoke at a news conference called by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the group that lobbied successfully last year for Los Angeles County to adopt a condom requirement for most adult films.

A U.S. District Court upheld the law last month, but the porn industry has promised to appeal.

“Condoms in porn is not really that crazy a thing,” said Rod Daily, who said he discovered he was infected last month. “If they do care that much about the performers, they would use condoms.”

Industry officials have said when they tried using condoms after an HIV outbreak nine years ago, the $7 billion-a-year business saw revenue decline as much as 30 percent as audiences made it clear they don’t want them.

“Ultimately it’s just a big industry, and their main concern is money,” said Daily, who was among six current and former porn actors to speak on the subject.

Over the past eight years, Daily added, he has made hundreds of films, mainly for gay audiences, and he

has always used condoms in those, where they are more accepted. Daily didn’t say how he believes he became infected, but his longtime girlfriend, a porn actress, learned she was HIV positive shortly before he did.

Industry officials said of the three recent HIV infections they have documented, none appear to have taken place during the making of a film. They called a moratorium on filmmaking until all of the HIV-positive actors’ movie partners could be tested, but filming is set to resume Friday.

“Unfortunately, we can’t control what people do offset,” Steven Hirsch, CEO of the Vivid Entertainment Group, one of the industry’s largest filmmakers, said recently. But he added the required tests every 14 days before an actor can work are keeping HIV from being transmitted through films.

Bay expressed her doubts about that, saying Tuesday that in just the three months she was in the business, during a time when she made only about 10 sex scenes, she saw numerous instances of risky behavior.

On one shoot, she said, an actor working with her cut himself and was allowed to continue filming an explicit scene even though Daily, who was on set that day, would have stood in for him.

“I didn’t realize how unsafe it was until I saw the pictures that Rod showed me,” she said.

It's time for a coaching change in Texas

By Scott Carroll NCAA Football Columnist

Mack Brown has become an institution through his time at Texas, but after a 1-2 start with losses to BYU and Ole Miss, it might be time for a change.

Brown has been the head coach of the Texas Longhorns since 1997 and has quite the credentials to hang his hat on. He won the National Championship in 2005 as well as Big 12 division titles in 2005 and 2009. Brown also led the Longhorns to the 2010 National Championship game where he was defeated by Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide.

Since the 2010 National Championship and graduation of quarterback Colt McCoy, Texas has gone a combined 23-19, including a 5-7 record during the 2010 regular season. This is unacceptable for a program that holds itself to be one of the top tier programs.

At the head of Texas’s problems are its lack of leadership at the quarterback position,

which is exemplified by all of the Texas high school quarterbacks that they missed out on.

In 2006 alone they had future No. 1 pick Matthew Stafford, future national champion Greg McElroy and future NFL starters, Andy Dalton and Christian Ponder.

Not to mention that the past two players to win the Heisman Trophy are both Texas born and played for rival Texas colleges.

2012 Heisman Trophy Johnny Manziel was never even offered a scholarship by the Longhorns, despite having them at the top of his college list.

2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III also never received an offer from his state university.

2011 Heisman Trophy finalist, NFL Draft No. 1 pick and Texas native Andrew Luck took an official visit to Texas but never received an offer.

Further exemplifying the decline of Longhorn football has been the success of in state rival Texas A&M. A&M have been ranked as high as

sixth this season and have become a contender in the tough SEC Conference after only a year.

The Aggies bolted from the aging Big 12 Conference along with Missouri two seasons ago, leaving behind state rivals Oklahoma and Texas.

With new school offenses and high powered conferences leading the way in college football, maybe it is time to get a new head coach in Texas.

Florida head coach Will Muschamp was the apparent heir to the throne, but he left his position of defensive coordinator at Texas for greener pastures in Gainesville.

What Texas needs to is bring in a young coach who could breathe life into the rusting orange of Texas. Vince Young, Earl Campbell or Ricky Williams aren’t running back out of the tunnel again for the Longhorns. The administration needs to begin a new tradition of winning in Austin, before its own fan base tears it to the ground in frustration.

Head coach Mack Brown is a staple at Texas, but recent mediocre performances call into question whether his tenure is coming to a close.

Wind gusts knock Huskies Sisters score into 9th at Adams Cup big at home » FIELD HOCKEY

After a fast start brought them within range of a topfive finish, the UConn men’s golf team struggled in the final round of the Adams Cup in Newport and finished ninth overall in the 16 team field.

The Huskies found themselves in sixth place, and just four strokes behind the fifth place team heading into Tuesday’s final round, but difficult conditions during the final round ended in a ninth place finish.

“The conditions were more difficult during Tuesday’s round,” junior team captain Chris Wiatr said. “We made mental mistakes collectively, and did not do well enduring

difficult conditions when it got hard. Aside from [sophomore] John [Flaherty], who had a great third round given the difficulty of the course and winds, the rest of us were conquered by our own heads.

Golf is a very mental game and as a team, that side of the sport was executed very poorly today.”

Despite the tough conditions in the third round of play, Flaherty actually produced his best score of the tournament on Tuesday. After consecutive rounds of 76 on Monday, Flaherty shot a 73 on Tuesday and tied for 14th in the individual scores. Just one shot behind him, Wiatr finished tied for 20th.

According to Head Coach

David Pezzino, wind gusts of 20-25 miles per hour affected the play of the team. However, Pezzino also said that the conditions were no excuse for the poor play and the team will learn from the experience.

During the first round of play the Huskies shot a cumulative score of 307, the eighth best first round score in the Cup. The Huskies greatly improved in the second round, shooting an impressive 295 and positioned themselves for a good finish. The Huskies best round of the tournament came from Wiatr who shot a 3-under-par 69 in the second round, including an eagle on the Par 4, 7th hole.

“I was happy to continue my strong play during the

first two rounds,” Wiatr said. “[Tuesday] I did a very poor job executing my game plan along with just being a little off. It was very frustrating and something I will learn from and make sure I don’t make the same mistakes again.”

The University of Central Florida placed first in the Adams Cup for the fourth consecutive year. Their total team score of 856 was 16 strokes ahead of second place Bethune-Cookman College.

The Huskies will compete next on Monday, Sept.

23 in the Hartford Hawks Invitational at Bull’s Bridge Golf Club in South Kent, CT.

EREA, Ohio (AP) — Trent Richardson didn’t fit into the Browns’ plans. They’re pushing forward without him.

Cleveland traded the powerful running back to the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, a stunning

move just two games into this season and only one year after drafting Richardson in the first round.

Richardson was dealt for a first-round selection in next year’s draft, when the Browns

will have two openinground picks and 10 overall.

Cleveland is rebuilding and the team hopes to use those picks — seven in the first four rounds — to help turn around a floundering franchise mired in losing for more than a decade.

Such a reversal was what the Browns had in mind when they took Richardson with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2011 draft. The former Alabama seemed to have it all: power, speed and good hands.

But Richardson appar-

ently isn’t the kind of back Cleveland’s front office wants or one for first-year coach Rob Chudzinski’s offensive system. Richardson, who rushed for 950 yards as a rookie despite playing most of last season with two broken ribs, gained just 105 yards on 31 carries in Cleveland’s two losses this season.

He lacked the explosiveness the Browns’ new regime was looking for, and it may not have helped that Richardson made it clear he wanted the ball more.

Dynamic Bolles duo lead No. 3 UConn's charge against UMass

By Erica Brancato Staff Writer The Bolles sisters used their speed to catalyze the Huskies’ field hockey team into their sixth win of the season as they beat UMass 4-1. The dynamic duo helped Anne Jeute, Rosin Upton, Mckenzie Townsend and Sophie Bowden to each score against the Minutewomen goalie and keep their undefeated season alive.

Marie Elena Bolles, a senior forward, has been a huge part of the Huskies offense since she arrived as a freshman. She has played in every game for the past three seasons racking up 33 goals and 23 assists including three goals and two assists so early in the season. In 2011 and 2012, Marie Elena Bolles was honored the All Big East first team award, also, in 2012 she earned one of the highest honors in field hockey, Big East Offensive Player of the Year.

Olivia Bolles, a freshman midfielder, has already made her mark on the UConn team.

Following in her sister’s footsteps, she has been a key factor in the offensive line and has played in all six of the games thus far in the season.

She racked up two assists, and with the skills and talents she

has demonstrated on the field so far one should expect a bright future with her the team.

However, it was beyond their talent and skills on the field that made the sisters one of the best offensive duos on the UConn team. It was their speed.

“I recruited them both because they’re 400-meter runners,” head coach Nancy Stevens said.

“They won the Penn Relays, and that’s why I recruited them, for that speed.”

Both Oliva and Marie Elena Bolles were part of a 4x400 team that set a Villa Maria Accadamy school record with a time of 3:52.18. Olivia Bolles set a school record in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:14.34; she was also named All-State for track in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons. Their fast legs not only improved the offensive line, but they also create a bigger challenge for the opponents.

“Tonight clearly the two sisters just put on a show,” Stevens said. “It’s very difficult to have two players match up with their speed. You could have one player who could maybe match up with one of them. They’re just a tough matchup when you have both of them on the field.”

Mets rally over Giants NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Satin hit a two-run single to cap a four-run rally in the ninth inning that sent the New York Mets past the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Wednesday night.

Shut down by Matt Cain for almost eight innings, the makeshift Mets lineup put together a surprising comeback. Pinch-hitter Zach Lutz had an RBI double and Juan Centeno, making his major league debut, knocked in a run with a single off closer Sergio Romo (4-8).

Satin had three RBIs, including a sacrifice fly against Cain in the eighth. Vic Black (2-0) pitched a perfect inning for the win.

Gregor Blanco hit a two-run homer for San Francisco.

Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada broke his right leg when he tumbled over sliding left fielder Andrew Brown to catch a popup in the ninth inning. Tejada, who knocked knees with the oncom-

ing Brown, initially stayed in the game but was lifted for Lutz in the bottom of the inning.

Santiago Casilla walked two in the ninth before giving way to Romo, who threw 25 pitches in the series opener Tuesday night. Lutz lined a one-out double and Centeno looped a single that was fielded on one hop by shortstop Brandon Crawford in shallow left field.

Matt den Dekker walked before pinch-hitter Omar Quintanilla flied out to shallow right, keeping the bases loaded.

Satin then lined a game-ending single into left field and greeted a rush of happy teammates with open arms near first base.

It was Romo's fifth blown save in 40 chances.

Cain managed only two outs July 10 in a 7-2 loss to the Mets, the lone time in 264 career starts that he has failed to get out of the first inning.

This time, the right-hander was on top of his game.

Injuries rampant leading up to Michigan from FOOTBALL, page 12

LINDSAY COLLIER/The Daily Campus

UConn captain Steve Greene, left, is among UConn football team's leaders that head coach Paul Pasqualoni has praised for keeping the team on the right track following their August 29 loss to Towson.

Wide receiver Shakim Phillips, right tackle Kevin Friend and linebacker Graham Stewart are all questionable for Michigan, according to Pasqualoni. All three remain listed as starters on the weekly depth chart, but there is little optimism for their full recoveries for Saturday.

Friend’s absence may be the most catastrophic for the Huskies. When Friend is in and healthy, the line has given quarterback Chandler Whitmer plenty of time in the pocket to find the open receiver, a luxury he didn’t have during his first season in 2012. Without Friend, Xavier Hemingway has taken the snaps at right tackle, and Towson and Maryland were able to get to Whitmer by blowing past Hemingway on the right side. Despite that, Pasqualoni has faith in his young replacement.

“Xavier is a good, athletic big guy. We’re in the development there with him,” Pasqualoni said. “In our opinion, Xavier is far enough along where we can put him in, and

Dalton Gifford is another guy, use Dalton a little bit as well.”

Hail to the victors valiant UConn’s 0-2 start is due in some part to their inability to stop big plays.

Pasqualoni has pointed out after both losses that out of 50 rushing attempts for Towson and 43 for Maryland, only a few went for more than two or three yards, and they usually ended up in first downs with great field position or a touchdown.

Stopping the big plays will only get more difficult on Saturday, when Michigan takes the field in East Hartford.

The Wolverines have had 21 plays go for 20 yards or more through its first three games of the season, three of them resulting in touchdowns. The attack has been balanced from Michigan, as 11 of those plays were passes and 10 were runs.

Leading the offense for the Wolverines is duel-threat quarterback Devin Gardner.

UConn had enough trouble stopping Maryland’s C.J. Brown, so the Huskies have their work cut out for them stopping a player that has 941 all-purpose yards – 704 pass-

ing and 237 rushing – with four rushing touchdowns and seven passing.

As explosive as Gardner are three of his playmakers: running back Fitzgerald Toussaint, wide receiver Jeremy Gallon and tight end Devin Funschess.

“Everyone understands that it’s only a play or two in these games that turn these games around,” Pasqualoni said. “There’s a great sense of urgency to be able to focus on what we have to do – take care of your job, yourself, take care of the little things, check your assignment, your effort, your technique.

“We can’t worry about the scoreboard. We have to worry about our assignment and how we’re playing together.”

The quotable Paul Pasqualoni Pasqualoni on the loss to Maryland: “I was frustrated, but I was having fun. I was frustrated as hell, but I enjoyed every minute of that game. That game had a chance to be a heck of a game.”

Jets and Giants each have upside Corasaniti: Men's soccer the real show from NEW YORK, page 12

Kren: With the new rule changes that the NFL has implemented recently, the quarterback is the star of the game.

The past seven super bowls have been won by top tier quarterbacks, not players such as Geno Smith , Brandon Weeden or Blaine Gabbert. In order, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning and Joe Flacco. Other than the Steelers and Ravens,

the other four teams are passing happy and are not afraid to air it out, showing how offense is what wins championships.

Herlands: In week one Geno Smith led the game winning drive and showed hope that the pathetic state of the Jets and the Sanchez era may be past news. The rookie has showed flashes of stardom, but also signs of inexperience and making mental mistakes reminiscent of Mark Sanchez.

The Jets defense has allowed only 30 points this season even

with the departure of questionably the best cornerback in the league, Darrelle Revis. The Jets look poised to eclipse a better season than most anticipated, while the Giants may be in bigger trouble than initially projected. It’s still early and it appears to be an interesting year to say the least for both New York teams this year.

Kren: The outlook for both teams right now looks bleak but I have faith the Giants will resurrect like a phoenix and come up from the ashes

that the jets will walk into.

Upcoming for the Giants is 0-2 Carolina, which at this point is almost a must win. Eli’s targets look unstoppable as Cruz, Nicks and Randle each had 100 yards in the first week, with Nicks and Cruz just missing 100 yards the following week.

Compared to Holmes, Hill and Kerley, the Giants have the advantage in wide outs, as well as at quarterback. The road is tough ahead but the Giants have come back before, and I believe they can do it again.

Huskies stifle Minutewomen

The No. 3 UConn field hockey team squared off against the No. 7 UMass Minutewomen last night at the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex, with UConn securing a 4-1 victory.

The Huskies maintained their undefeated record with the win, which moves them to 6-0 on the year.

2013 marks the third consecutive season the team has begun with six consecutive victories.

“Every coach wants to win every game, but I think you have to be really aware of how special it is to start out 6-0,” head coach Nancy Stevens said. “Everyone would like to win every game, but that’s really hard to do. Our first three games were close, two of them went to overtime, and we’ve played three teams in the top ten.

“We’ve challenged this group, and its one with a lot

Do you want to write for

of talent. They’re capable of meeting the challenge and so far they have.”

Junior forward Anne Jeute struck first for the Huskies, netting an unassisted goal in the 10th minute of play to give UConn a 1-0 lead.

The lead swiftly moved to 2-0 after a penalty corner in the 32nd minute was sent home by sophomore midfielder Roisin Upton with assists from Olivia Bolles and Chrissy Davidson.

“Our players share the ball, and when you share the ball good things will happen,” Stevens said. “When you become one-dimensional, when you really count on one or two players to do most everything for you, then teams can have an answer.

“They can shut you down, they can match you up. But when everyone’s contributing it’s really hard.”

All cylinders were firing offensively for the Huskies in the first half, as the team outshot UMass 12-2 and took a 2-0 lead after 35 minutes of

66th minute, scoring on an assist from Marie Elena Bolles in traffic just feet from the UMass net.

UConn will take its undefeated record on the road this weekend to open its slate of American Athletic Conference opponents, taking on Rutgers in New Brunswick, N.J. noon Sunday, Sept. 22.

But as tough as it may be, these challenges are what really separate the two Husky teams that will be taking their respective fields Saturday night.

It isn’t too much of a stretch to say that the UConn football team has underperformed in the past few seasons, falling short of an even record in 2011 and 2012 before starting this season 0-2. But the story of the UConn men’s soccer team over the past years–and decades–has been responding to challenges and roadblocks like they are facing right now.

Take the last time men’s soccer lost three straight regular season matches in 1997. The Huskies fell to Villanova, Georgetown, and West Virginia in consecutive road matches to go to 2-5-2.

What came next? The Huskies went 9-1-1 over their last 11

games to finish with a respectable record and make the Big East Tournament.

Obviously, 16 years later, it is a very different Husky team looking to take the field Saturday night. There are new faces, new names, but the attitude will be the same.

The masses may be in East Hartford Saturday night cheering on as the football team hopefully puts up a fight against No. 14 Michigan, but there will undoubtedly be another real show on campus when the men’s soccer team takes the field, looking to take a stand for their season against top competition.

Is a UConn win guaranteed?

Of course not, but a defining moment should be. Even if there aren’t 42,000 fans to witness it.

play. But the tide turned as the second half got underway.

UMass was given life midway through the second half in the form of back-to-back penalty corners within a six second span.

After missing the first corner attempt thanks to a key deflection by UConn sophomore defenseman Elizabeth Fudele, the Minutewomen capitalized on their second chance, with sophomore midfielder Brooke Sabia drilling a powerful hooking shot past UConn goalkeeper Sarah Mansfield to move the score to 2-1.

The momentum would soon shift back to favor the Huskies; however, a trio of yellow card penalties for UMass within a five minute span derailed the Minutewomen’s short-lived offensive energy.

UConn sophomore midfielder Mckenzie Townsend added a goal of her own in the 59th minute on an assist by Sophie Bowden.

The UConn men’s tennis team looked very impressive in their first home match of the year as they defeated the University of Hartford 7-0.

UConn sent out Ryan Carr and Wayne Harrell as No. 1 for doubles and Parker Cohen and Mark HoSang as No. 2.

The No. 3 slot fell to freshmen Chris Toner and Parker Goldstein. The Huskies were able to win all three matches to earn one point.

“We’re just trying to find the right chemistry with doubles,” coach Michael Louis said.

“I thought it would be fun to put the freshmen together and see how they pick each other up and see how they react in some of those pressure moments. I think they did well.”

The Huskies dominated the singles matches, winning all six in convincing fashion to help earn their first victory this fall.

Junior Wayne Harrell and freshman Chris Toner filled UConn’s No. 1 and No. 2 spots.

Each won their match 6-1, 6-4 and 6-4, 6-0 respectively.

Senior captain Ryan Carr filled the No. 3 spot and fought a tough match with his opponent but pulled out the victory 6-4, 6-4.

Ryan is coming into his last season at UConn and couldn’t be happier with the start to the year.

“It’s a lot of fun. It’s my senior year and to start it off with a win is always fun,” Carr said. “Me and Wayne played together last year so getting on the court together for doubles today was really easy; we gelled and had a great time.

“There is nothing better than coming out and having fun and [if] wins come along the way then that is all the better.”

Sophomore Andrew Ginzberg played the No. 4 position and came out with the upper hand in his match 6-0, 6-2.

Freshman Parker Goldstein played at the No. 5 spot and was victorious 6-3, 7-5.

Sophomore Zac McEntee was the No. 6 for the Huskies and closed out the win with a 6-1, 6-2 victory.

Louis was very pleased with the victory and how the Huskies performed but knows that there is still work to be done.

“I think the guys played well,” Louis said.

“I think there is definitely some things we need to work on. We came off a little slow, but collectively we want that match. We’re starting to learn to go out and take control of the matches and go out and win the points.”

UConn’s next match will be away against Boston University on Friday.

By Erica Brancato Staff Columnist Although this article may come a few weeks premature, I couldn’t resist writing about hockey after the Bruins’ first preseason game on Monday night. With Boston’s win 6-3 over the Canadiens, I couldn’t help but wonder if the team would actually suffer with the loss of Tyler Seguin from the Bruins lineup. With new right wing, Jarome Iginla, scoring twice this game it doesn’t seem like the B’s will be impacted at all; but I’m looking at the big picture here. I’m putting aside the comments that Seguin was traded because he was acting out and being unprofessional, and I’m looking at his skill as a player. Will the Bruins suffer in the long run without Seguin on their side?

This summer, the Bruins traded Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley and Ryan Button to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, Matt Fraser and Joe

Morrow. But the main point of the trade came down to Seguin in exchange for Eriksson.

This trade came as a shock to some Bruins fans, because Seguin was a key factor in the Boston offense for the three years he played for the team.

In the 2011 to 2012 season, Seguin led the Bruins in goals scored.

He racked up 29 goals and 38 assists in just his second season in the NHL. That’s a huge improvement compared to his 11 goals and 11 assists in his first season.

In September of 2012, the Bruins completed a six year $34.5 million extension with Seguin. His speed and shot have very few rivals in the NHL, which is why he was a huge catch for the Bruins.

To add his ability on to an already powerful offense, the B’s would be nearly impossible for any competition.

However, in this past season Seguin seemed to flat line in the moments the team needed

him the most. He scored only 16 goals and 16 assists in the shortened 48 game season. On top of that, Seguin only scored one goal in the 22 games he played in the Playoffs. Despite his drop in statistics, can we really blame him for his uneven performance? Was his last season a pattern we see repeating in the future, or, going back to my original question, will the Bruins regret trading this young star?

Seguin, at the age of 21, is still an inexperienced player in the NHL. He has only had three seasons in the professional league, which is nothing compared to recently signed Devils’ Jaromir Jagr’s 19 years of experience or even Zdeno Charas 15 years in the league.

His tremendous second season put him under more pressure to perform better as the seasons progressed, but this inconsistency is common in the beginning stages of a professional league.

“Looking at his skill as a player...Will the Bruins suffer in the long run without Seguin on their side?”

Loui Eriksson, who replaced Seguin on the B’s, has played in the NHL for seven seasons.

However, his first four season statistics look quite similar to Seguin’s three. In Eriksson’s first season he played 59 games and scored only six goals and had 13 assists. In his third season Eriksson played in 82 games and scored 36 goals, which was a huge improvement compared to his first two seasons. Yet, in his fourth season he dropped down to 29 goals in 82 games played. This spiked pattern parallel’s Seguin’s performance in the beginning of his career. As Eriksson played more in the NHL he became more consistent and reliable as a player thus showing his true skill.

Seguin hasn’t hit his prime yet; he showed his potential in his second season but like any new player, he was inconsistent. His skills aren’t developed just yet which is why I think the Bruins may regret trading him in the long run.

Not to knock at Eriksson’s skills, since he is viewed as a key asset to the team, but the Bruins jumped the gun upon letting go of someone as talented as Seguin.

THE MASSES COMETH

The real show Saturday night is on campus

42,000 expected for Saturday at The Rent

By Tim Fontenault Sports Editor

Mike Corasaniti Saturday night there will be two big UConn games fans may look to choose from. Both teams will be looking to avoid a third straight regular season loss and both will receive a strong challenge in trying to do so.

25 miles off campus in East Hartford, the UConn football team will be taking on the visiting Michigan Wolverines for a highly anticipated regionally televised event. Rentschler Field is expected to have its biggest crowd in its 10-year existence, bringing in extra bleachers for the overflow of fans.

But back on campus, tucked in behind the baseball fields and football training facilities, there will be another game.

Some different Huskies, the UConn men’s soccer team, will be responding to challenges of their own, and it just may help define the season and the legacy of their latest chapter.

The Huskies will host the No. 10 St. Louis University Billikens Saturday night for another competitive match to continue the first half of their tough regular season. But instead of rolling in with momentum after beating some lesser teams like these Huskies are used to, UConn may be stumbling a bit more into this one.

Why? Well, when you haven’t lost a regular season match on your home turf in four years, it can be a pretty humbling experience. And when you haven’t lost two regular season games in a row for almost five years, it can be downright demoralizing.

This is what is facing the UConn men’s soccer team that entered regular season play this year in the Top 10 of every major national ranking in the country and made it as high as No. 3 in the NSCAA rankings following two straight 1-0 wins to start the season.

But after a 1-0 home loss to Bradley Saturday night and a 1-0 loss at Syracuse on Tuesday, UConn is facing the possibility of losing three straight regular season matches for the first time since 1997.

Years of excellence have made UConn fans unfamiliar to defeat and records like the 2-2-1 the Huskies are sporting now.

And with an All-Americancaliber goalkeeper and one of the most consistently prolific offenses in the country, why should they be used to it?

The UConn football team will take on No. 14 Michigan on Saturday night at 8 p.m. at Rentschler Field.

Boasting 906 all-time wins, 11 national championships and 42 Big Ten titles, Michigan is the biggest team to ever play at Rentschler Field. Because of the magnitude of the game and the demand for tickets, approximately 2,200 temporary bleacher seats have been brought into the stadium, meaning Saturday’s sold-out game will be played in front of the largest crowd in Rentschler Field history.

“It doesn’t get any better than this,” UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni said during Tuesday’s press conference.

But the stadium will look small to the Wolverines.

Michigan » Notebook Stadium is known as the Big House. Over six home games last year, Michigan drew 659,406 fans, an average of 112,179 per game.

On Sept. 7, the then-No. 17 Wolverines defeated No. 14 Notre Dame in front of 115,109 fans, the largest football crowd – college or NFL – ever.

“You would hope that it doesn’t make any difference,” Michigan coach Brady Hoke said during a teleconference on Tuesday. “It doesn’t matter who’s there watching. It really matters about how we prepare. There will be some Michigan people that will be there and they will support us.”

Injuries causing concern for Huskies Three key players are in danger of missing Saturday’s game due to injury.

Women’s soccer taking on La Salle at home

By Kyle Constable Staff Writer

Coming off another win at home last Sunday, the UConn women’s soccer team will face La Salle at Morrone Stadium in a crucial midseason game today.

UConn (5-3-0) handled Dartmouth last Sunday without much trouble, winning the game 2-0 with 18 shots. The Huskies gave up only 10 shots to the Big Green in a game featuring two different players in the home goal. Freshman goalkeeper Emily Armstrong was pulled midway through the second half to allow sophomore Allison Saucer to have some playing time.

UConn has won five out of their last six games, losing only to Boston University 1-0 last Friday in Boston. Both Boston University and UConn had received votes in the national coaches’ poll prior to the start of that game.

The La Salle Explorers (6-1-0) have had a strong start to their season, winning their last four games.

» CORASANITI, page 10

Their only loss came at the hands of No. 9 Penn State. La Salle’s performance even resulted in votes in the Sept. 17 national coaches’ poll.

The Explorers’ most recent game was against Loyola (Md.), where La Salle scored four goals on 22 shots. They blanked Loyola, giving up only seven shots to the Greyhounds.

La Salle, a notoriously offensive team, will be a challenge to a Huskies’ squad that has primarily relied on their defense to win games this season. The Explorers have scored 14 goals in their first seven games, compared to UConn’s 10 goals in eight games.

Freshman forward Rachel Hill has been the crux of UConn’s offense early in the season. Hill has four goals and one assist, and with junior forward Riley Houle chipping in another three goals and one assist, these two have been the primary offensive pieces for the Huskies. “(Rachel) plays like a senior,” coach Len Tsantiris said follow-

ing Sunday’s game. “Not only the goals that she scores, but she holds the ball so well. And she runs every forward ball that we place and she makes it look good. …

You can’t teach that stuff.”

Furthermore, after battling injuries since 2011, junior forward and co-captain Julie Hubbard scored for the first time in two years, adding another element of dynamism to the Huskies’ offense. Hubbard believes scoring that first goal will prove crucial to her performance going forward.

“It’s a psychological thing, a block,” Hubbard said. “It’s gone now, and hopefully I can keep producing.”

Based on the results of the first half of the season, Hill, Houle and Hubbard will need to have strong performances if the Huskies want to counter La Salle’s offense.

The game will begin at 7 p.m. at Morrone Stadium and will be broadcast on WHUS 91.7 FM.

Which New York NFL team has a better shot at making the playoffs?

New York Jets

By Jared Herlands Campus Correspondent

AP

Are the Jets a legitimate playoff team again ...

Last Sunday, the New York Giants and the New York Jets put together pretty lousy performances. Eli Manning threw four picks against his brother’s Broncos in an old school sibling beat down 41-23 falling to 0-2, while Geno Smith and the Jets blew an opportunity to beat the rival Patriots, falling 13-10.

But did the sibling rivalry or the division rivalry prove more for their teams? Both haven’t exactly looked sharp thus far and playoff hopes already look dim. After only losing by three to one of football’s best teams, I believe the Jets will finish with the better season.

Jared.Herlands@UConn.edu

» POINT/COUNTERPOINT Herlands: The Giants have proven it’s possible to win it all after a rough start, but their defense was a dominating force back in 2007. The Jets rank 2nd in total YPG allowed with 241, 5th in rushing yards allowed with just 59.5, and just outside of the top 5 coming in at 6th in passing YPG with 181.5.

The Giants on the other hand can’t stop a nosebleed and rank outside the top 15 in all those defensive categories.

Kren: Recently the NFL has entered a new era, the league of the quarterback, where an aerial offense attack, not a shutdown defense is necessary to win. The Giants have an electric offense which ranks 5th in overall offense with 427.0 yards per game and 1st in passing yards with 390.5 yards per game. Eli Manning, although

his turnover numbers looks like those of Sanchez (minus the butt fumble), has a proven track record that includes two Super Bowls.

Herlands: That track record mainly means job security for Eli Manning this year, easily leading the league totaling seven interceptions in just two games. Yards gained aren’t everything from the offensive standpoint, because if that were true the Giants would look like one of the most dominating teams in the league, not one of the most pathetic. Turnovers lose games. I disagree with your claim that offense is more important than defense in this new era. I am a firm believer in the idea that defense wins championships.

» NEW YORK, page 10

New York Giants

By Matthew Kren Campus Correspondent

After losing the first two games of the season, The New York Giants have found themselves in a deep hole. In the first two games the Giants are at a -8 turnover ratio and are letting up 38.5 points a game while only scoring 27.0. The Giants have had the injury bug as starting running back, Andre Brown, starting tackle David Diehl, and starting center David Baas have all started the season out. Things cannot get much worse after losing in successive weeks. Things can only go up, as the Giants proved in 2007 when they started 0-2 and won the Super Bowl.
