This article is part of a series highlighting this year’s new professors who have outstanding achievements in their career and major plans to bring to UConn.

In her high school years, new professor Zehra Arat was an activist in Turkey. She moved to the U.S. to do graduate work in political science in 1980. Having taught for almost 30 years, she came to UConn to share her human rights background and plan on developing an exchange program with Turkish universities.

Arat holds a Ph.D in political science. Her research focuses on human rights, and she established a human rights section in the International Political Science Association. Her emphasis is on women’s rights, she said.

“UConn’s political science department is strong, and on top of that, the whole institution has been growing in the study of human rights and women, gender, feminism studies, so when you put all three together, they made UConn an attractive place me,” Arat said.

This semester she is teaching “Gender Politics” and “Political Protest and Ideologies.” The first course introduces students to issues of power and gender subordination with a global perspective, Arat said. “Ideologies” analyzes a range of political ideologies as responses to their historical and geographical contexts.

Her courses are not cross-listed with the related departments this

Zebra Arat, shown above, has been teaching for almost 30 years and brings a history of activism with her as she joins the UConn faculty this fall. She is teaching “Gender Politics” and “Political Protest and Ideology.”

semester; however, she said they might be in time. Both are undergraduate courses, but she would like to eventually work with graduate students on their research.

In the future, Arat also said she would also like to explore the possibility for exchange programs with Turkish universities.

Arat said that at the last school she taught at, Purchase College in New York, she was working on creating a double degree program with a Turkish university, but was limited because of the size of school. “But it can be done with UConn, so I would like to use my contact to the benefit of UConn and Turkish students,” Arat said.

UConn Study Abroad currently has study abroad programs in the Middle East, but no exchange programs. A main difference between the two is that students on exchange pay tuition to UConn and take the

place of a student at the exchange university who comes to UConn.

Study abroad is a separate program with a different cost than UConn.

Arat has written two edited books on Turkey, “Deconstructing Images of ‘The Turkish Woman,’” and “Human Rights in Turkey,” in addition to four other books. She said she travels back to her home country at least once a year and works closely with Turkish NGOs that work on women’s and LGBT rights.

When asked if she was still working as an activist when she returned home, she said, “I do but not as much as I would like to.”

This past summer an environmentalist movement peaked in Turkey. After the government forcibly moved people protesting a shopping mall in Gezi Park in Istanbul, the people responded with disapproval in the govern-

ment.

“It involved what is considered eight political segments of the society,” Arat said. “People with different ideologies and demographics joined including some people who voted for this political party, and they managed to maintain diversity without alienating the other groups.

It was the first time in Turkish history, and is very rare globally.”

In her classroom she says she tries not to impose her activist views on students, but commented, “If the students are already mobilized I will join them.”

Arat said so far she finds the students engaging, and overall people to be nice. “Connecticut people are very kind and gentile as opposed to New Yorkers, which has been refreshing. So now I have to learn how to be kinder and calmer.”

UConn’s Engineers Without Boarders hosts fourth annual 5K

By Brea Patterson and Kyle Constable Campus Correspondent and Staff Writer

A UConn engineering club will host its fourth annual 5K starting at the Student Union on Saturday to raise funds to support its global volunteer efforts.

The club, Engineers Without Borders (EWB), will host the event for the fourth consecutive year, using it as an opportunity to raise awareness about the organization’s philanthropic activities around the world.

The 5K is scheduled to start at 10 a.m., with registration opening at 9 a.m. UConn students can pay $8 to participate while the cost for non-UConn students interested is $15. T-shirts will be given out to the first 50 people to sign up for the event.

The event is open to both serious runners and those just looking for a way to spend a Saturday morning outside on what is forecasted to be sunny and cool weather. Although the race is only a small part of this event, prizes will also be given out to the top three runners.

Jake Lampron, one of the students leading the event, wants to make the UConn student body aware of the exciting projects that this run will help to fund.

“As we are a non-profit orga-

rooms nationwide. Additionally, in 2010 and 2012, the group made two trips to Nicaragua to design plans to help stop the erosion of a crucial road outside of the city of Grenada.

Looking ahead, the EWB hopes to see the implementation of the plan in Nicaragua and tackle a more local project: terracing a hill in Hartford’s Pope Park.

“There is a lot of great work that can still be done in places like Hartford and the small community in Nicaragua,” said EWB President Andrew Silva, who said the event is very important for the group’s efforts. “We’d like to do a lot more in many more communities, (but) we just need the funding.”

While the event registration will not officially open until Saturday morning, the registration form has been posted on EWB’s Facebook event page, and many students are already expressing excitement about participating in the race.

“I’ve always liked running,” said engineering student Dan Liss, explaining his interest in the event. “I’m in the running club at UConn. I’m also in EWB, so I like to try and support the organization in any way I can.”

Liss also said that several of his friends on campus are just as excited to join him at the 5K race.

After a successful underwear mile last semester, UConn Empower is back at it with another unconventional fundraiser. On Sunday, September 8, UConn Empower will be hosting the largest water balloon fight to ever take place in New England.

The event is USplash, and the tagline is #getwet.

Empower will provide students with 30,000 water balloons, music by DJs Manni and Shmallen and foam cannons.

USplash will take place on Fairfield Way between the Homer Babbidge Library and the Rowe Center for Undergraduate Education.

“Our motto is ‘no bake sales’,” said Empower president Lior Trestman, a 5th semester biomedical engineering major.

They currently have about 650 students signed up for a fee of $5, but are expecting to be filled to capacity at 1,000 people on Sunday. There will be two teams, each with either a green or orange wristband.

They hope to raise money for their upcoming projects in Cameroon and India.

Empower went to Cameroon to provide children with e-learning technology.

Google argues right to scan Gmail

SAN JOSE, California (AP) — Google’s attorneys say their long-running practice of electronically scanning the contents of people’s Gmail accounts to help sell ads is legal, and have asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to stop the practice.

In a federal court hearing Thursday in San Jose, Google argued that “all users of email must necessarily expect that their emails will be subject to automated processing.”

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of 10 individuals, is expected to be certified as a class action and is widely seen as a precedent-setting case for other email providers.

The plaintiffs say Google “unlawfully opens up, reads, and acquires the content of people’s private email messages” in violation of California’s privacy laws and federal wiretapping statutes.

The lawsuit notes that the company even scans messages sent to any of the 425 million active Gmail users from nonGmail users who never agreed to the company’s terms.

“This company reads, on a daily basis, every email that’s submitted, and when I say read, I mean looking at every word to determine meaning,” said Texas attorney Sean Rommel, who is co-counsel suing Google.

Conn. sets 9/11 memorial ceremony for Tuesday

WESTPORT (AP) — Connecticut is hosting its 12th annual memorial ceremony honoring those killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The ceremony is set for Tuesday, Sept. 10 at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport.

The public is invited to attend the ceremony where the names of the 161 victims with ties to Connecticut are to be read aloud.

The state’s memorial to the attack victims is located on a peninsula at the park in Westport, which was also used as a staging area for the state’s efforts to help New York City in the wake of the attacks.

Turnaround plans for schools in Windham, Waterbury

HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut’s Board of Education has approved improvements plans for Windham Middle School in Windham and Crosby High School in Waterbury.

They are the newest additions to the so-called “Commissioner’s Network” of historically low-performing schools that receive additional support.

A total of 11 schools are in the network, and the latest state budget includes $27.5 million to expand the program to include more than 20 schools over the next two years.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says the targeted investments will help turn around struggling schools.

Electric Boat workers split $1 million Powerball

GROTON (AP) — A group of Electric Boat workers has split a $1 million Powerball lottery prize, but after taxes the money won’t change the winners’ lives.

Each winning member of the purchasing department at the submarine maker in Groton will net about $29,700.

Gary Cabral, an engineer who retired last month, told The Day that the prize money is a nice retirement bonus.

The group matched all five numbers drawn, but missed the Powerball number. Had they picked the Powerball number, they would have shared the $448 million jackpot.

Not everyone in the 48-member department played the first week in August when the winning ticket was purchased. Some didn’t feel like gambling while others were on work-related travel.

Kenneth Levine told The Bulletin he bought the ticket when he just happened to be in the office.

Domestic dispute in Conn. escalates to house fire

MYSTIC (AP) — A Mystic couple has been hospitalized after a domestic dispute escalated into a stabbing, injuries from a jump from a second-story window and the couple’s house on fire.

Police said they received a call Wednesday night for a domestic dispute. The first officer who arrived at the house found an unidentified woman with stab wounds.

As police attended to her, they heard a loud noise and saw that the home was on fire.

They saw an unidentified man jump from the second-story window. He was injured.

State extends oversight of New London schools

HARTFORD (AP) — New London’s special master overseeing the city’s schools says they are improving, but still need supervision.

The Day of New London reports (http://bit.ly/18v19Sr ) that the state Board of Education agreed Wednesday, extending the term of the special master, Steven Adamowski, another year.

Adamowski recommended that the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education help New London seek a new superintendent and that New London select a superintendent from among candidates recommended by the state commissioner of education.

The New London board voted in April to not renew the contract of Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer. His term ends next June.

Conn. police say teen, baby killed in crashes

HARTFORD (AP) — A baby and a teenager have been killed in separate car crashes in Connecticut.

Police in Manchester say a 5-month-old girl was killed and an 11-month-old critically injured when two cars collided Thursday afternoon. Police said the children were properly restrained in safety seats when their car overturned and struck a utility pole. Two women, including a 17-year-old driver, got out safely. The drivers weren’t hurt.

A 15-year-old has died and two adults are seriously injured after a two-car crash Thursday morning in Hamden. Police said the boy was a passenger in a car driven by a 27-year-old man who tried to pass two cars and collided with an oncoming car being driven by a 31-year-old man. Both drivers were seriously hurt. Police are investigating if the teen was wearing a seatbelt.

USplash hopes to foster school spirt from FAIRFIELD, page 1

“A lot of groups go to countries and do humanitarian work, but they don’t go back and check up on it,” said Empower member Sonia Talwar, a fifth semester biology pre-dental student. “We want to make sure everything is still working.”

The group said that all of the funds are for the projects, not the travel expenses.

In addition to raising money, Empower hopes USplash will foster school spirit.

“We believe that events that appeal to the student body and are held at the heart of campus serve to build Husky Spirit,” said Trestman. “This is one way in which we strive to give back to UConn.”

They expect to make USplash an annual tradition, the kick-start to every fall semester to come.

More than 500 baby sea turtles released off Florida coast BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — More than 500 sea turtle hatchlings were gently released by hand Thursday onto sea beds off Florida’s Atlantic Coast, where the turtles have a better chance to survive.

The U.S. Coast Guard assisted with the release about six miles off the coast of Boca Raton because it is committed to protecting endangered and threatened species, officials said in a statement.

“I’m very passionate about the environment,” said Chief Cannon Schider-Heisel with the U.S. Coast Guard. “And my job affords me the chance to do that sometimes, where I get to help educate the public about the environment. It’s a facet of my job that I love.”

Schider-Heisel, who volunteers at the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, where the hatchlings were collected, joined marine scientist Melanie Stadler and other turtle rescue volunteers to release 311 loggerhead and 194 green sea turtles on Thursday.

One by one, the turtles were

AP

Two young green sea turtles are examined before they are released Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013, off the coast of Boca Raton, Fla. Coast Guard officials helped Melanie Stadler, a marine scientist with Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, release almost 500 sea turtle hatchlings

slowly placed in the water and onto beds of seaweed where “they have more hope to survive,” said Schider-Heisel, who described the sea beds as a La-Z-Boy for the baby turtles, or a safe and comfortable place for them to be released.

The hatchlings, some as young as two days old, came

from turtle nests from beaches throughout Florida where the loggerhead, leatherback and green turtles nest regularly.

Two other species also nest in Florida in very small numbers, the Kemp’s ridley and hawksbill.

The loggerhead is threatened and the green and leatherback

are endangered, but all sea turtles are federally protected.

It is against the law to touch or disturb nesting sea turtles, hatchlings or their nests. Signs are posted on beaches during nesting season, as adult females emerge to nest on the beach mostly at night. The hatchlings also emerge from their nests mostly at night.

Only about one in 1,000 baby turtles survive to adulthood.

“A lot of these I literally pulled out of a nest,” said Stadler as she held a baby turtle in her hand to show a Coast Guard crew member.

“I have a connection with a lot of them, as do the rest of the turtle specialists. We all rescue these little guys every morning and knowing that we get to release them and they are healthy and ready to go is pretty awesome.”

Stadler said the Coast Guard’s assistance with transporting so many baby sea turtles at once was “crucial” for their survival.

Florida’s nesting season runs from March through October

Ohio man confesses in video killing man in crash

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A driver has confessed in a video posted online that he’s to blame for a wrong-way car crash stemming from a night of heavy drinking that killed another man and says he’s willing to take “full responsibility.”

The 3 1/2-minute video, posted on at least two websites on Tuesday, shows 22-yearold Matthew Cordle describing what led to the accident in which he killed the man three months ago.

“My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani,” he says somberly. “This video will act as my confession.”

Cordle says in the video he “made a mistake” when he decided to drive his truck home after “drinking really heavily” and hit the other car, killing the 61-year-old Canzani, of suburban Columbus.

The video begins with Cordle’s face blurred as he describes how he has struggled with depression and was simply trying to have a good time with friends going “from bar to bar” the night of the accident. He then describes how he ended up driving into oncoming traffic on a highway.

Cordle’s face becomes clear as he reveals his name and confesses to killing Canzani.

“When I get charged I’ll plead guilty and take full responsibility for everything I’ve done to Vincent and his family,” Cordle says.

This video frame grab provided by Alex Sheen of becauseisaidiwould.com shows Matthew Cordle. Cordle, a driver has confessed in a video posted online that he’s to blame for a wrong-way car crash stemming from a night of heavy drinking that killed another man and says he’s willing to take “full responsibility.”

Later, he says he understands that by releasing the video he’s giving prosecutors “everything they need to put me away for a very long time.”

Franklin County prosecutor Ron O’Brien on Thursday said Cordle was a suspect in the deadly crash but hadn’t been charged. O’Brien said he saw the video on Wednesday and downloaded a copy onto a CD as evidence. He said he’ll ask a grand jury to indict Cordle for aggravated vehicular homicide

with an alcohol specification, a charge that carries a maximum of eight years in prison upon conviction.

O’Brien said Cordle’s blood sample from the night of the crash tested positive for alcohol and negative for drugs.

Defense attorney George Breitmayer III said the video “is a strong testament” to Cordle’s character. He said Cordle intends to cooperate with prosecutors.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s spy agency arrested a leftist lawmaker accused of plotting a pro-North Korean rebellion in a case that has triggered a political and media firestorm in a nation where even praising the North can be considered a crime.

“It’s a fabrication by the National Intelligence Service,” Lee Seok-ki shouted Thursday at a police station in Suwon, a city just south of Seoul, before being driven to a detention facility.

South Korean lawmakers voted Wednesday to lift Lee’s legislative immunity against arrest. It was the legislature’s first passage of such a motion over rebellion charges.

Lee, a first-time lawmaker from the small United Progressive Party, has long been hounded by claims he supports North Korea. He is accused by the spy agency of holding a secret meeting in May of about 130 party members and discussing strikes on crucial South Korean infrastructure targets should war break out between the Koreas.

He allegedly believed that high tensions between the two countries this past spring could lead to war.

Lee has denied the allegations, accusing the spy service of staging a communist “witch hunt” to divert criticism of illegal online campaigning it allegedly conducted ahead of last December’s presidential election. Critics say Lee had little to back up the alleged plot, and note that past military-backed

of Gahanna, died at the scene after his Jeep was struck on Interstate 670.

Cordle ends the video confession by “begging” viewers to not drink and drive.

“I can’t bring Mr. Canzani back, and I can’t erase what I’ve done, but you can still be saved.

Your victims can still be saved.

So, please,” Cordle says before a message appears on the darkened screen: “make the promise to never drink and drive.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Children — like adults — are increasingly trying electronic cigarettes, according to the first large national study to gauge use by middle and high school students.

About 2 percent of the students said they’d used an e-cigarette in the previous month, according to a survey done last year. That was up from 1 percent in 2011.

More kids still smoke traditional cigarettes than the new electronic ones, and it’s not clear how dangerous e-cigarettes are.

It’s also not clear from the report how many are using them on a daily or weekly basis.

But health officials are worried.

The new study suggests many kids are now getting a first taste of nicotine through e-cigarettes and then moving on to regular tobacco products, they say.

Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices that provide users with aerosol puffs that typically contain nicotine, and sometimes flavorings like fruit, mint or chocolate. They’ve often been described as a less dangerous alternative to regular cigarettes.

Unlike conventional smokes, the federal government does not yet regulate e-cigarettes, although more than 20 states have banned store sales to minors. The devices began to appear in the United States in late 2006, but marketing has exploded in the last couple of years.

The new study — released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — is based on a questionnaire

S.Korea lawmaker arrested in alleged rebellion plot

AP

South Korean lawmaker Lee Seok-ki, center, of the leftist Unified Progressive Party arrives at the Suwon District Court in Suwon in Suwon, south of Seoul, Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013. South Korea’s spy agency on Thursday arrested Lee implicated in an allegation of rebellion that has sparked a political firestorm in the country which faces a persistent threat from rival North Korea.

governments frequently used rebellion charges to suppress political critics.

“South Korea’s democracy is dying, and our country is becoming the republic of the National Intelligence Service,” Lee said after Wednesday’s vote, according to his party.

The spy agency can investigate Lee for up to 10 days before handing him over to prosecutors, according to Suwon District Court spokesman Lee Jung-won. He said the court issued an arrest warrant for the

lawmaker because there were worries that he might destroy evidence or flee.

The firestorm over the allegations illustrates the deep, long-running rift between the right and left that dates back to the division of the Korean Peninsula into a U.S.-backed, capitalistic South Korea and a Soviet-supported, socialist North Korea following the peninsula’s liberation from Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule. In South Korea, praising North Korea can be punished by up to seven

years in prison.

Conservatives in South Korea expressed fear over Lee’s case and pushed for the end of proNorth Korea groups.

“Lee Seok-ki’s rebellion plot is a shocking incident that clearly shows that North Korean followers are still spread throughout our society like poisonous mushrooms,” Choi Kyung Hwan, floor leader of the conservative ruling Saenuri Party, told a party meeting. “We should root out ... underground revolutionary groups.”

In 2011, about 3 percent said they’d tried an e-cigarette at least once. That rose to 7 percent last year and translates to nearly 1.8 million students.

In contrast, 6 percent of adults have tried e-cigarettes, according to a different CDC survey done in 2011.

Children still are more likely to light up regular cigarettes, though teen smoking rates have dropped in the past decade. More teens now smoke marijuana than tobacco, surveys have found.

But health officials worry e-cigarettes could re-ignite teen cigarette use. They point to a finding in the study that 20 percent of middle school e-cigarette users had never tried conventional cigarettes. When the same question was asked of high school students, only 7 percent had never tried regular smokes.

That suggests many kids experiment with the electronic devices and move on to cigarettes by high school, said CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden.

“In effect, this is condemning many kids to struggling with a lifelong addiction to nicotine,” he said.

Kurt Ribisl, a University of North Carolina tobacco policy expert, was a bit more restrained, saying the results “don’t prove that e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking cigarettes”. Another study would be needed to more clearly establish the link, he added.

By Luke Belvl Campus Correspondent

By Zarrin Ahmed Staff Writer

Actor, activist and professor Kal Penn, shared life stories, advice and jokes to a full house at the Jorgensen on Thursday night in celebration of UConn’s Asian American Studies Institute’s 20th anniversary.

Set up like a talk show set with two chairs and a small table with water in the center, the Jorgensen stage first graced Vincent Cardinal, the department head of Dramatic Arts. As host of the night, he first thanked those that made the night possible. Two ladies responsible for the event were Cathy Schlund-Vials, director of the Asian American Studies Institute, and Angela Rola, director of the Asian American Cultural Center. With the help of the Asian American Cultural Center, the Student Union Board of Governors, the Alumni Association and the UConn Foundation, as well as longtime friend Scott Wolfman, Rola and Schlund-Vials were able to contact award-winning actor Penn and have him come to UConn.

“Wait, was this billed as ‘An Evening with Kal Penn?’” he asked the audience as soon as he entered stage. “That sounds so shady.”

Though Penn is most known for his comedic roles in movies like the “Harold and Kumar” series and “The Namesake,” as well as shows like “How I Met Your Mother” and “House,” he has ventured far beyond the acting world in recent years.

While answering questions asked by Cardinal, Penn revealed a lot about his experiences working with President Obama during his election campaign and as the associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Having read works

by Obama, he decided to travel to Iowa for a few days where he was surprised by the young, smart and

energetic campaigners helping with the election. He informed the cast and crew of “House” that he would be taking a two-year hiatus working in politics and interviewed for a job at the White House.

“Always shave your face,” he advised men, sharing how the president took notice. While students had a chance to line up and ask him questions during the second half of the evening, Penn gave more advice based on his experiences, encouraging acting

students to go out and do a lot on their own and search for roles in student films on websites like backstage.com.

“Had I turned down auditions because of certain fears I’ve had, I wouldn’t have landed some jobs,” he said. Friendly and humorous, Penn didn’t hesitate to give out handshakes and hugs to whomever asked.

Relating to a lot of Asian American students in the crowd, Penn explained how he was raised by two immigrant parents who

Homer Babbidge Library 4th Floor: Far from the noisy hangouts that the lower levels can sometimes be, the library’s fourth floor is filled with comfortable old armchairs which are littered in front of most major windows. Typically undisturbed, this is hands down the place to go if your looking for a truly quiet hideaway.

The Lounge in McMahon next to the Dining Hall: Located atop the flight of stairs directly next to the entrance to McMahon dining hall, this lounge is also seldom occupied. Large armchairs and study tables occupy what is usually a rather empty room.

Student Union 3rd Floor: While

there are numerous places to sit at the union, perhaps the quietest of them all would be the area down the hall from the ballroom. Next to the large window, a small setting of armchairs and benches occupy another typically desolate area.

CLAS English Major Study Section: Located on the 2nd floor of CLAS near the back of the building (if you’re using the main entrance), this study spot also has a plethora of sofas and chairs and as you can imagine is also a typically quiet spot.

As a commuter or any student looking to unwind and have a peaceful environment for down time, these are just a few of the several hidden gems around campus

both studied in fields of science.

He is the only actor in his family, but he has represented Asian Americans in many small films in his early career. He most enjoyed his role in “The Namesake,” a film directed by Mira Nair adapted from the book by Jhumpa Lahiri. Nair was an inspiration for Penn since he was young and he went through considerable effort to land an audition with her for the role, which had already been cast before he had the opportunity. But Penn ultimately was

chosen the play the lead and won received the Asian Excellence Award for Outstanding Actor.

Both Schlund-Vials and Rola were very happy with the turn out of the night, referring to the full house. In celebration of 20 years of the Asian American Studies Institute and the Asian American Cultural Center, this event showcased the Asian American community’s prevalence on campus.

Commuting student hideaways

By Alex Sferrazza Staff Writer

Being a commuting student can be tough. Oftentimes, you have to drive a very long distance to get to campus, park at lots inconveniently located relatively far from your classes, and, due to the unreliable bus system, you’re going to have to trek across campus by foot to get from point A to point B. During extended breaks in between classes, on campus students have the luxury of a nearby dormitory to retreat to for some downtime. While commuting students have no such luxury, there are plenty of quiet and comfortable places on campus to take a much needed break from your day.

‘The Island’ coming to freedom theater

By Focus Staff

“The Island,” a play performed by only a two-person cast, is coming to the Nafe Katter Theater this Friday and Saturday.

The plot was inspired by real events and follows the story of two prison mates who share a cell. One prisoner is serving a life sentence but the other is due to be released soon.

The original script was written to focus on the injustices that many prisoners from the South African apartheid era faced and their experiences. The Freedom Theater’s production of the play will additionally seek to explore the experiences of prisoners from the Palestinian political conflict. According to the Freedom Theater, some of the similarities between the Palestine and South

Africa prison experience include “the separation, the denial of basic human and political rights, the discrimination and the oppression that is evident in countless aspects of daily life.”

The prisoners highlighted in “The Island” are forced to endure extenuating labor during the day, but seek refuge in working on a performance of Sophocles’ play “Antigone” at night. Aptly, Antigone tells the story of a woman who follows her own belief system but is convicted by the state because what she chose to do was against the law.

Shows on Friday and Saturday are at 7 p.m. The Freedom Theater is also presenting this play in Sweden and Brazil this year.

Maya-language television show airs in Mexico MEXICO CITY (AP) — The protagonists of one of Mexico’s newest soap operas go through love, betrayal and family problems, a typical story line for the popular genre, except they do it in an ancient language.

“Baktun” (bak-TOON) is the first telenovela entirely in the Mayan language to air in Mexico in an effort to save the language from extinction.

“There are a lot of Mayan speakers who won’t speak the language,” said Hilario Chi Canul, the male lead and script writer. “The language is not lost. We who speak it are the ones who are lost.”

Director and producer Bruno Carcamo said the soap opera, which is shown with Spanish subtitles, gives Mayan-speaking Mexicans a

show in which they can see and hear themselves. He hopes it will encourage people in Mayan communities to speak in their mother tongue.

The series follows the life of a young man who left his village in the Yucatan Peninsula to work as a cook in New York, where he became estranged from his family and began to forget how to speak Mayan.

Upon his return, he learns the importance of his language and culture while fighting his brother for his childhood love.

“Baktun” and its cast of non-professionals actors went on the air in August on the state government channel in Quintana Roo, which is home to the resort city of Cancun and where the show was taped.

The Mayas measure time in Baktuns. One Baktun is 394

years.

Carcamo said he used real homes in Mayan-speaking towns during production to show the lives of modern-day Mayas. He also mixed real Mayan ceremonies along with the acted story line.

“We can’t go into a ritual and not take part of the ritual,” Chi Canul said. “It would be an offense to the community.”

Carcamo said the telenovela has been well received and people are already asking if there will be an encore.

“We have something to show the world, too, and this is the first time I see something like that,” said David Vzul, a Maya who lives in Chetumal and has been watching the soap opera religiously with his family.

It is widely known that over two-thirds of your body is water; most of us like to keep it that way. In fact, if you can’t, it quickly becomes fatal. We all at some point have heard of the need to stay hydrated, most likely from a sport coach or an over concerned parent.

However, what does staying hydrated really mean and why is it so important? These two questions prove difficult for most to answer, simply because the answers are so individually biased.

The spoiler alert and disclaimer to this column both today and throughout the year is that any type of health recommendation is dependent on the person and circumstances.

Hydration definitely falls within this realm, but the benefits of hydration are widespread.

Presented below are some simple methods to improve and monitor your hydration that can lead to marked changes in your health.

Optimal hydration is hard to define, especially if you try to put a number value on it.

Essentially, it boils down to the balance of fluid that your body uses in comparison to what you consume. The equilibrium of these two sides of the “hydration equation” relies on a near constant supply of fluid as your body works 24/7 using your body’s fluid.

Perhaps the most widespread myth in hydration is the dogma that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day.

The fact is this number has no logical or scientific basis.

There is no correct amount for all people; in fact the amount for each person may change on a daily basis. While this may seek to muddle the problem it actually makes things easier, because your body is well equipped to detect when you need more water, principally through thirst. During everyday life your thirst can be a good indication of when you need to drink. (The only caveat to this is when you are exercising and thirst does not align well with fluid needs.)

Listening to your body’s thirst coupled with the quick check described below can lead to better hydration by anticipating your needs.

Believe it or not, the easiest way to quickly check your hydration is through your urine. While this may seem unpalatable, simply observing the color can provide more than enough information.

When your body has less of a need for fluid it will dilute your urine (make it lighter in color). In simple terms your urine should look more like lemonade and less like apple juice.

In a broad sense hydration is good; all the chemical reactions, ranging from what you need to digest food to what you need to see depend on water. In a more myopic sense I have listed below some of the known benefits of hydration albeit with differing levels of evidence.

Some evidence has shown that adequate hydration can lead to healthier looking skin.

Some have even gone so far to use the term radiant.

While few of you likely think about this, continuous adequate hydration is key for kidney and urinary tract health. By constantly flushing out your system you can help prevent many diseases that affect these areas.

Adequate hydration has been shown to improve power, strength and endurance when compared to a dehydrated state.

Proper hydration can help you think. Not only does a gnawing thirst occupy your

The Benton’s new exhibit “From Old Master to Revolutionaries: Five Centuries of Benton’;s Best” contains a large variety of paintings with works dating from the 16th century up to the 21st century. Executive Director and museum curator Nancy Stulahopes that the changing exhibits will relate to various courses offered at UConn, spread acroos multiple disiplines.

By Zarrin Ahmed Staff Writer One of Benton’s three current exhibits, “From Old Masters to Revolutionaries: Five Centuries of Benton’s Best,” features art work from the museum’s vast collection and will remain on display throughout the school year.

Though this exhibit, which has settled in the first gallery of the museum, will be altered slightly throughout the year, the other two exhibits will frequently be changed and updated.

Executive Director and museum curator Nancy Stula explained how the gallery will be open and accessible to students

year-round. Even if it undergoes renovation, the other two exhibits will be open. The purpose is to always have an exhibit to showcase to students and faculty.

“I think UConn students should make use of the exhibits,” Stula said, describing the new system she enacted on July 1, when she was named head director and curator.

The ultimate goal, she says, is to make the changing exhibits relate to courses offered at UConn. By collaborating with the different departments at UConn, Stula hopes to put together numerous exhibits that unite the campus. The Benton is starting small with the project, having only contacted the art, art

history, and history departments.

Stula and her colleagues, including Kathryn Meyers, professor of painting at UConn, have put together an exhibit named Convergence: Contemporary Art from India and the Diaspora.

This exhibit, on display in late October, was coordinated with the Office of Arts in the Department of Economic and Community Development.

Excited about the upcoming year, Stula encourages any department interested in displaying all kinds of work that represent their student body to collaborate with her and the Benton.

With two galleries available year round, there are plenty of opportunities to orchestrate an

eight colors. The value each of each chip is determined by the amount of money a player buys in with, which is usually the buy in number divided by three hundred, the amount of chips contained in each color set. The typical roulette table in the United States consists of 38 slots, 18 black and 18 red with one zero and one double zero. Players make bets by placing chips on a specific number or number combination on the board next to the roulette wheel.

This double zero form of roulette according to Wizard of Odds gives the house a 5.26 percent advantage on most betting options. The odds become much better for the player in single-zero roulette where the house advantage is cut to 2.70 percent according to Wizard of Odds. Regrettably this version of roulette is only offered at high-end casinos.

Craps features a wide variety of bets that can make the game rather difficult to comprehend at first. In craps, some bets are resolved with a single roll of the dice, while other bets take more rolls to resolve, which can alter the house advantage. Learning all the bets in craps such as

pass and hard way can be a rather difficult task. For players that do learn the intricacies of craps bets, the house advantage can range from zero percent to 3.40 percent for multi-roll bets according to Wizard’s of Odds.

Putting the odds for a skilled craps player at among the best in the casino.

Out of all the games in a casino, blackjack is the only one in which it is possible for a player to gain an advantage over the house. Players can accomplish the feat via a combination of card counting and basic strategy. Basic strategy in blackjack involves knowing the best possible move to play each hand dealt, which can reduce the house edge to less than one percent on its own.

With card counting a player can gain a 1-2 percent advantage over the house in the long term. Be warned though that most casinos look down on card counters and will make life rather miserable for you should you get caught counting. The best way to minimize losses without getting black listed is by playing blackjack using basic strategy.

exhibit that instills pride for students in different departments and majors, and strengthens the sense of community at UConn through expression.

Of the 6,000 pieces in the Benton’s permanent collection, only a couple dozen are displayed in “From Old Masters to Revolutionaries.” These pieces span from 16th-century paintings to 21st-century photographs from artists of all backgrounds and mediums.

Even works within the same time period and location carry distinct differences in style and subject. These include Dutch Golden Age painters WIllen Cornelisz Duyster, whose focus was primarily on portraits,

scenes of cavaliers and ladies, and interior scenes with soldier, and Jan de Bray, who focused on classical tradition with naturalism, and ideas of beauty and antiquity.

The variety doesn’t stop there.

From French artists to Spanish artists, 16th-century portraits to 19th-century abstracts, focuses on good and evil to sexuality, this exhibit holds a lot of inspiration and knowledge to encompass.

The Benton will host an opening reception of all three galleries and exhibits on Tuesday, Sept. 10 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Casino Game Night: How to Beat the Odds

By Michael McGuigan Campus Correspondent Casinos make their money by having a statistical advantage over the player in each game they offer. This advantage is often known as the house advantage.

There are some games in a casino that offer substantially better odds to players than others. Table games, such as blackjack, offer the best odds at a casino, while slot machines offer among the worst to players. As a general rule of thumb, you are better off playing table games instead of the slots due to the better odds. The Guardian reports that gambling addiction occurs among slot players at a rate three times higher than that of gamblers who stick with live table games.

Three games offer the best odds to players according to Forbes magazine; these games are blackjack, craps, and roulette. Out of these games, roulette is the simplest to understand. In roulette, chips do not have a specific value associated with them like in poker. Instead the chips are purchased by a player the table, with each player receiving their own color of chip from one of

Arsenio fulfills his dream with late-night return LOS ANGELES (AP) — Did fate decree that Arsenio Hall would return to late night after two decades’ absence?

If so, he’s answering that comeback call on Sept. 9 with the premiere of “The Arsenio Hall Show” (syndicated; check local listings for time and channel).

And he’s itching to get going.

“You know how certain things make you nervous?” he said recently. “I don’t like to fly, but once I’m on the plane and we’re over the Rockies and I’m watching a movie, I’m fine.

“Right now I feel like I do when I’m in the airport.”

It was in 1987 that a then-unknown Hall, briefly stepping in for Joan Rivers’ short-lived Fox talk show, took flight as the cool, hip alternative to NBC’s “Tonight Show” titan Johnny Carson.

Then, in January 1989, he debuted with his own syndicated late-night show against Carson. He proved a formidable

rival with his party atmosphere (the “Dog Pound” audience greeted him with “woofs” and other animal sounds as well as applause) and a wide range of guests, including presidential candidate Bill Clinton (sporting shades and wailing “Heartbreak Hotel” on his sax) and basketball great Magic Johnson shortly after announcing he was HIV positive.

But by 1994, Hall was facing new competition from “Tonight” host Jay Leno and David Letterman on CBS. With ratings slipping, he announced he was leaving the late-night arena, and, gracefully, he did.

In the years that followed, he kept a low profile. A sitcom came and went.

He hosted “Star Search” for a season.

He co-starred on a CBS drama “Martial Law” for a couple of years. Did standup.

He also devoted himself to his son, Arsenio Jr., now 13, whose mother is Hall’s ex, former manager and downthe-street neighbor Cheryl Bonacci.

“I love being a dad,” he said. “When kids got together at Chuck E. Cheese, there were a lot of mothers — and me.”

But Hall yearned to return to late night. In June 2012 he announced it was happening.

“People say, ‘How did you know when to do it?’ Several times before I had tried!”

False starts included a meeting with studio bigwigs he skipped because his son was sick. Or the nail in a piece of sushi that broke his tooth the night before an all-important guest-hosting gig.

“Signs like that,” Hall said, “seemed to mean I wasn’t ready yet.”

Now he’s sure he’s ready, whatever skeptics may say.

“I hear all the long-shot talk: ‘This is an impossible thing to do after all this time. The field is so crowded.’ But I still have to pursue my dream!”

Meeting with a reporter at a rehearsal

space in a rawboned section of North Hollywood while his new house band was tuning up, Hall radiated the charm and high energy that made him a hit with viewers so long ago. At 58, he comes across much the same as ever — lanky, boyish, wide-open grin. The biggest difference: his mustache is long gone. “It had too much gray in it,” he confided.

As part of his strategy to reintroduce himself, Hall became a contestant on “The Celebrity Apprentice” early in 2012 — and ended up not only gaining the exposure he sought, but also winning the competition.

Even so, do enough viewers know who he is — or remember him — to get his new show off the ground?

“When people ask that, I’m like, ‘Well, NO ONE knew me the FIRST time!’ I used to joke that people thought Arsenio Hall was a dorm at UCLA. So don’t I have a better shot THIS time?”

In the past week, you may have seen ConnPirg around campus running at you with petitions and/or pleading for you to volunteer for the Zero-Waste campaign. Most of you, like I have done in the past, will probably walk by, face down, in order to avoid getting roped into anything new. I’m here, however, to convince you to do otherwise.

The big picture is this: ConnPirg is a non-profit, staterun organization that is currently working to reduce Connecticut’s waste output. This involves getting people to recycle more.

Recycling is beneficial to our environment because it saves energy, reduces landfills, preserves our resources, protects wildlife and helps our climate problems by producing considerably less carbon than the good ol’ trash bin.

The question is this: How do we get people to recycle more?

Currently, Connecticut citizens get a five-cent rebate when they recycle certain bottles. This makes recycling more appealing and incentivizes people to recycle.

Sadly, this law does not pertain to newer bottles like those of Coca-Cola. To get a rebate on newer bottles, people must recycle the bottles only at a store that sells the brand and nowhere else. This is inconvenient and halts recycling rates.

ConnPirg believes that doing the right thing, in this case recycling, shouldn’t be a hassle. It is for this reason that ConnPirg is fighting for Connecticut to pass a bigger better bottle bill. This bill would let people receive their five-cent rebate no matter where they recycle. This has the potential to increase recycling rates around a whopping sixty percent.

Unfortunately, the bottle bill will gain some pretty strong opposition from big corporations who would be slightly hurt by the bill. Although these businesses are powerful, the voice of the people, citizens like us, is stronger.

Government officials need popular support to win elections and to be reelected. Because of this fact, they will generally do what the majority of citizens wish. It is for this reason that we must come together to pass the bottle bill. This can be done by simply signing a petition or by dedicating your time and volunteering for ConnPirg.

Now, some of you may be thinking that Connecticut is “good enough” when it comes to recycling – certainly a lot better than most other states.

Those of you who believe this are unfortunately wrong. Per capita, Connecticut throws out more recyclables than any other state. We recycle only onethird of what we waste, and to make matters worse, we haven’t changed our recycling policy in over 10 years.

I don’t know about you guys, but those statistics make me pretty ashamed. If you feel the same way, stop speeding by those ConnPirg tables. It takes just a couple of seconds to sign a petition. But those seconds, those signatures, really do add up.

If we can show an overwhelming amount of support for a bigger better bottle bill, I have no doubt that it will be passed. Let’s take a stand together for better environmental policy. Step by step we can clean up our earth and make it a livable and thriving place for generations to come.

Author Maya Angelou to receive honorary national book award NEW YORK (AP) — The book world is finally honoring Maya Angelou.

The poet and author of “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” will be this year’s recipient of the Literarian Award, an honorary National Book Award for contributions to the literary community, the National Book Foundation announced Thursday. It is the first major literary prize for the 85-year-old Angelou, who has been celebrated everywhere from the Grammy Awards to the White House. She has received three Grammys for best spoken word album, a National Medal of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor.

Speaking by telephone with The Associated Press on Thursday, Angelou said she couldn’t wait to be in the same room as “some very big names in the literary world” and that the Literarian prize made her feel that she was “picking in high cotton.”

“Dr. Angelou’s body of work transcends the words on the page,” the book foundation’s executive director, Harold Augenbraum, said in a statement. “She has been on the front lines of history and the fight for social justice and decade after decade remains a symbol of the redemptive power of literature in the contemporary world.”

E.L. Doctorow, a familiar name among prize judges, will receive an honorary medal for “contributions to American letters.” Doctorow, 82, won the National Book Award in 1986 for “World’s Fair” and was a finalist three other times. A native of New York City, he is best known for the million-selling historical novel “Ragtime,” which has been adapted into a

feature film and a Broadway musical.

“Doctorow is a master of historical fiction who has brought the events of the past to people all over the world in an extraordinary fashion. It is also a special opportunity to give tribute to a native New Yorker in his hometown,” Augenbraum said.

“Any serious award such as this of the National Book Foundation has to be gratifying,” Doctorow wrote in an email to The Associated Press, adding that he believed literary awards did not only benefit the writers. “There is a communal value — they affirm the continuity of our literary culture.”

Previous winners of the National Book Award medal being given to Doctorow include Philip Roth, Arthur Miller and Elmore Leonard. Dave Eggers, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and NPR’s Terry Gross are among those who have received the Literarian Award.

Angelou, besides being a dancer, actress, filmmaker, singer and activist, has made historic contributions to reading and writing. “Caged Bird”

is among the most widely read and widely taught memoirs of the past half-century, memorably documenting her rise from the rural, segregated South to international fame. Her poem “On the Pulse of the Morning,” which she recited in 1993 at President Bill Clinton’s first inaugural, quickly sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

“What I have always wanted is to be of use,” Angelou said. “I will not be abused. I will not be misused — not willingly. But I will be of use. Anybody who is not of use is useless.”

But she has never won such top literary prizes as the Pulitzer or PEN/Faulkner and has never even been a nominee for a National Book Award, although she did serve with historians Robert Caro and Robert K. Massie as a judge in 1978 on the committee for best biography/ autobiography. (The winner was W. Jackson Bate’s biography of the 18th-century English critic Samuel Johnson.)

Angelou said she never worried about literary honors and that she always felt grateful for the winners.

Connecticut mayor tells heckled Dave Chappelle: Quit whining

AP

Comedian Dave Chappelle decided to sit out most of his show in Hartford Thursday, August.

29, 2013, because of a noisy audience.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Hartford’s mayor said Thursday comedian Dave Chappelle should “quit whining” about being heckled.

Chappelle walked off a stage last week after being heckled in the state capital.

Audio posted on TMZ.com shows Chappelle praised an audience in Chicago on Tuesday for being “so much better than Hartford.”

“I don’t want anything bad to happen to the United States,” Chappelle said.

“But if North Korea ever drops a nuclear bomb on this country, I swear to God I hope it lands in Hartford, Connecticut.”

Chappelle was the headlin-

er Aug. 29 in Hartford at the Funny or Die Presents The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival, which is touring the country and features Flight of the Conchords and several other comedians.

Fans said Chappelle came out and told a few jokes but stopped because of the heckling. Video posted online shows Chappelle over the next 25 or so minutes sitting on a stool on stage responding to the hecklers, joking about the situation and even reading the first few sentences of an audience member’s book.

Chappelle was booed as he walked off the stage of the Comcast Theatre, and some

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Olivia Wilde says she has “good problems” this year.

The “Tron” actress and her fiance, comedy actor Jason Sudeikis, have been engaged since January, yet it seems they’ve been too busy with their careers to do anything about it.

Wilde appears in the upcoming car-racing biopic “Rush.” And so far this year, the actress has released two other films — “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” and her most recent indie movie, “Drinking Buddies,” a comedy about blurred friendships and perhaps some blurred vision from drinking a lot of beer.

Although Wilde started downing brew at a young

age during her frequent trips to Ireland with her father, writer-producer Andrew Cockburn, she admits after shooting “Buddies” that she’s become even more of a beer aficionado.

“Yeah I am now the really annoying person in the beer aisle at the supermarket who is taking way too long,” Wilde said. “The person behind me is just trying to get to the Budweiser — like ‘Move lady!’.”

Also not moving are her wedding plans with Sudeikis.

Wilde recently spoke to The Associated Press about simply enjoying being engaged and oh yes, busy careers.

AP: You are super busy.

When in the world do you have time to plan a wedding?

fans demanded their money back.

On Tuesday, Chappelle told the fans in Chicago, to cheers and laughter, he would never again stop in Hartford, not even for gas.

Mayor Pedro Segarra called Chappelle’s remarks “immature and inappropriate.”

“Dave Chappelle should stick to his job, give the fans what they paid for and not disparage the good people of Hartford,” Segarra said in a statement.

He also sent a Tweet saying Chappelle should “quit whining, do his job and try some yoga.”

It’s not the first time Chappelle has stopped performing his routine because of an unruly crowd. In Florida in 2011, he stopped performing at a charity event, checking his text messages and counting down the minutes on stage. He told a radio interviewer that in a performance in Oakland, Calif., he spent 10 minutes lying on the stage.

Chappelle has been making his most substantial return to stand-up comedy with the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival since famously walking away from his hit Comedy Central series, “Chappelle’s Show,” and a $50 million deal in 2005. He took respite in South Africa for a time and largely dropped off the comedy circuit.

Wilde: I’ll just tell them we are getting married in Uganda. That sounds too likely. That’s something I would do. I would totally do it!

AP: Do you guys have a date planned yet?

Wilde: No, I think being engaged is really fun and I am in no rush. I think it’s really wonderful, I feel really lucky and happy. We’re both really blessed to be very busy right now, so as actors, that’s the dream — to be too busy to get married. That’s fantastic.

AP: So is Jason a great drinking buddy?

Wilde: The greatest drinking buddy is a person who has a great sense of humor and can handle their beer.

Because a bad drinking buddy is somebody who I guess falls over before you get to the fun part.

Jason is a great drinking buddy.

AP: It’s rumored you are returning to do another “Tron” movie. Is it true?

Wilde: I don’t know, they know more than I do. I’m too old — what do I play, the mom? That would be great. Yeah, I don’t know. I can’t fit into that suit after “Drinking Buddies,” that’s for sure.

I would like to bring the two films together somehow. “Tron Buddies,” ‘’Drinking Tron,” way better.

AP: Are you willing to do another “Tron”?

Wilde: Yeah, that would be fun. Those kind of movies, the opposite of “Drinking Buddies,” which is so organic and improvised, a small crew, we had very little money, it’s a passion project.

Something like “Tron,” what is extraordinary about that opposite experience is the enormous scale of the production. A crew of hundreds and people who are technically so proficient. So that’s what I find really fascinating about that process, and I would be lucky that it’s in my career I can continue to hang out on both sides of the spectrum.

Many small changes contribute to UConn’s sustainable campus

I

n August 2013, Sierra Magazine named UConn the “Coolest School” in terms of its environmental sustainability. While there are many larger moves UConn has parceled out in terms of environmental sustainability, this piece serves to discuss many of the smaller ventures to maintain an environmentally friendly campus. More accurately, this will answer the question of the purpose of the sinkhole

by CT Commons. Regardless, UConn has made impressive strides towards a greener campus.

During the summer, the few people still on campus were privy to the construction on the parking lot between School of Business and CT Commons. During that time, UConn instituted porous pavement and bio-retention swales in the center of its parking lot areas. The porous pavement can be seen if you look closely, but the only material difference between it and traditional asphalt is that porous pavement is made without finer materials and has small cracks to let in storm water.

This storm water is let through the pavement and is collected in a stone recharge bed. From there, the water can be directly applied to the soil underneath. This is important as it increases groundwater recharge, or rather, the process by which groundwater for soil is replenished (traditionally by rain or other surface water) and something typical pavement is usually a deterrent to.

Bio-retention swales, on the other hand, but use their vegetation to properly filter pollutants from the rainwater. The rainwater then flows down to nourish the soil. This system seeks to artificially recreate terrestrial forests or meadow ecosystems.

Not only does it remove harmful pollutants, but it is also an effective storm water management system and prevents runoff.

There is more to discuss regarding environmentally friendly measures at UConn such as their green roofs. First installed on Gant Plaza, UConn boasts a few of these green roofs including on Laurel Hall. They work to prevent air and water pollution as stated by the professor and graduate student in charge of the projects, Jack Clausen and Bruce G. Gregoire, respectively in their paper: “Roof top surfaces contribute heavily to pollution (excess nutrients and toxic metals) in standing water supplies.

The goal of the green roof is to reduce water runoff, which will reduce air and water pollution as well as by retaining water, reduce water consumption.”

To be fair, these smaller initiatives aren’t as large scale as the $25 million dollar reclaimed water treatment facility that saves approximately 230,000 gallons of drinking water on an average day by substituting potable water with treated wastewater to run and cool down the CoGeneration power plant. However, each of these measures encompasses the overall message of UConn’s environmental policy and creates a greener atmosphere on campus.

Five unanswered questions about UConn

T

hey say that a good journalist should always be asking questions. With that in mind, here are five questions I have about UConn – some serious, some lighthearted, all of them so far unanswered.

Why is the Wilbur Cross Building called that? Almost every single building on campus is named after a person, whether it’s a multimillionaire donor, a former university president or a prominent Connecticut politician.

By Jesse Rifkin This particAssociate Commentary Editor ular building is named after somebody from the latter category, a man who served as the governor of Connecticut during the 1930’s. So why is it the only building on campus referred to by both the first and last name of its namesake? You never hear anybody call our basketball arena the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, the music performance auditorium as the J. Louis von der Mehden Recital Hall, or the athletic practice fields the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex. Yet it’s always “Wilbur Cross.” Why? What does Jay Hickey look like?

His official university title is Labor Relations Specialist, but everybody knows him as the guy who sends those glorious emails announcing that classes are cancelled for the day due to snow – or as he always writes it, “inclement weather.” No exaggeration, I think more UConn students recognize his name than would recognize President Susan Herbst or Board of Trustees Chairman

Larry McHugh. Somebody set up a fake Twitter account in his name @UConn_ JayHickey that has amassed over 2,000 followers. The profile picture is a snowflake, because nobody seems to have seen this man. No photograph accompanies his biography on the university’s Department of Labor Relations website.

A Facebook search for people named Jay Hickey who attended Brown University reveals one result, with no accompanying profile picture. In January, I invited him by email to be a guest interview on my UCTV talk show. He wrote, “I appreciate the offer, but I have to respectfully decline your offer. Good luck co-hosting your talk show.” And the legend continues…

How did the “Huskies! UConn!

HOO!” chant start? I had an idea my sophomore year to track the origins down for an investigative column, but I didn’t even know where to start, thus making zero progress. Online you can find the origins of several athletic traditions. Our fight song (“… symbol of miiiiiiiiiight to the foe…”) was written by Herbert France, founder of the university’s music department, in 1949. Our school colors of royal blue and white were chosen by the Students’ Organization in 1896. Our school mascot of Jonathan the Husky was selected in 1934. A husky dog was selected as a play on words because the animal is native to the Yukon (“UConn”) area of Canada, and the name Jonathan was chosen by a student poll after Jonathan Trumbull, the first governor of Connecticut. But nobody anywhere seems to know who invented the omnipresent “Huskies! UConn! HOO!” or why.

How come most journalism majors don’t write for The Daily Campus? On the first day of last spring’s upper-level journalism course Professional Seminar, Professor Marcel Dufresne started by asking how many students were journal-

ism majors, to which almost everybody raised their hands. Then he asked how many wrote for The Daily Campus, to which exactly six raised their hands out of more than 20 students. I never understood this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not because The Daily Campus is hurting for contributors. In fact, just the opposite: we have over 150 students on the payroll, and the sign-up sheets for new members were filled by the end of Wednesday’s Involvement Fair.

But of the four weekly commentary columnists besides me this year, there is one journalism major, one chemistry, one mechanical engineering, and one molecular and cell biology. This is the opposite of what you would seemingly expect.

Why is West Campus not in the West? Surely it must have been in the western part of campus when it was first built decades ago, but the perplexing question is why the name was never changed after the campus expanded enough westward that “West” is now fairly central. After all, nobody still calls the boxer Cassius Clay. If anything, the structure is actually located slightly south. West Campus is not named for anybody – the UConn Fact Book lists all campus buildings and their namesakes, but no namesake for this one, so clearly it’s named after the direction. Just in my short time here at UConn alone, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences building was renamed Austin Hall and the Classroom Building was renamed Laurel Hall, proving that these things are not set in stone. So why does this stubbornly remain its original name? Perhaps we should keep the name but officially rechristen it after Kim Kardashian’s daughter, North West.

Obama has no authority to launch unilateral military action

President Obama recently announced that he would to seek Congressional authorization for military action in Syria. While this may seem like an acknowledgement of the limits of presidential power, he made contradictory statements that strongly asserted the president’s authority to unilaterally launch

By Brian McCarty military action.

Staff Columnist He claimed, “while I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization, I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course, and our actions will be even more effective.” If President Obama believes he already has the authority to initiate military action, it is not authorization that he is seeking from Congress.

Should Congress not authorize military action, President

Obama believes that he would still have the authority to proceed. The president is seeking affirmation, not authorization, in order to strengthen public support for his policy. A supportive vote in Congress would also aid the president by sharing responsibility should this military action lead to unfortunate consequences.

President Obama’s statements hold dangerous implications for our national security and for the separation of powers in our government. He claims that the president, acting solely through his own personal judgment, has the authority to launch missile strikes in any area of the world that his discretion warrants without recourse to the people’s elected representatives.

Actions taken under this authority could put American citizens in jeopardy should there be a retaliatory response from the country attacked. Though no

one can foresee the international response to an attack made under the president’s unilateral determination, an exchange of hostilities, however limited, has the potential for grave consequences and perhaps even total war. All of these eventualities may follow from the decision of the president, yet President Obama believes he is not required to obtain authorization from the people’s representatives in undertaking actions that could have dire implications for the American people.

National security concerns aside, the president’s statements illustrates an alarming misunderstanding of the president’s role in government. The presidency is an executive position, not a policymaking position.

While the Constitution recognizes the president’s role as head of state in dealing with foreign governments, it also places limits on the foreign policy deci-

sions the president can make unilaterally. The president may negotiate treaties, but they may not be ratified unless the Senate grants its approval. Similarly, Congress has the power to declare war and the president has the power to execute the war as Commander in Chief. Some point to the Quasi War with France and the Barbary Wars as examples of the president’s unilateral authority to launch military action. While Congress did not issue formal declarations of war in either, both Adams and Jefferson did not act before receiving statutory authorization from Congress. While a formal declaration has not always been required, the assent of Congress in military action has traditionally been a cornerstone of the separation of powers. Congress, not the president, is vested with the power to initiate military action because as a representative body it best embodies the

will of the people. Allocating this power to the president takes control away from American citizens and subverts the democratic process.

In recent decades, however, presidents have openly ignored this limit on presidential power. During the Vietnam War, President Nixon launched attacks into Cambodia without the consent of Congress.

In response to this action, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution, which defined the Constitutional limits on the war powers of the president. It prescribed that the president could take military action abroad only if Congress passes a declaration of war, if Congress gives statutory authorization or if an emergency situation is created by an attack on the United States. In the third scenario, the president must notify Congress within 48 hours of taking action and must gain Congressional authoriza-

tion if the conflict exceeds 60 days. Presidents have frequently denounced the War Powers Resolution and have continued to initiate military action unilaterally. President Clinton participated in the NATO bombings in Kosovo without Congressional approval and President Obama engaged in the Libya airstrikes without authorization. Obama’s unilateral decision to intervene in Syria may be defended by some as constitutional based on these precedents. However, the United States is not governed by common law, but by a written Constitution. Repeated unconstitutional acts by the executive should not be a reason for discarding our respect for the separation of powers and popular sovereignty.

To see free market in action, look at video game industry Do free markets work when no one is looking? By no one I mean no one important, and by no one important I mean politicians, activists and political pundits. So I suppose the word important should be in quotations. I digress. Soaring college tuitions,

By Devin Keehner the housing bubble, Staff Columnist financial instability, and health insurance premiums through the roof are numerous examples of markets and industries going haywire.

What we don’t have is a universally accepted theory about what is causing these problems.

Predictably, two competing theories have emerged. Greed or government? How do we discern which is the problem?

Simple, look for an industry where neither the govern-

ment nor greed exist, or at the very least plays a smaller role.

However, greed is a universal constant, and an insurmountable part of the human experience.

Government, on the other hand, is quite variable. In some industries, such as all those listed above, government is an ever present force. In other industries the government hardly factors in. With that in mind I believe the video game industry is a perfect case study in the free market.

Now, I understand the video game industry isn’t life and death. I understand that not everyone has to play video games, nor does everyone want to. With that in mind I wish to establish that greed still plays a role, and that greed acts at times as a detriment to the consumer.

This is an easy task. For a long time now the video game indus-

try has operated in an oligopoly.

Sony’s PlayStation, Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s Wii dominated the market. Large companies such as Microsoft used their considerable market share and leveraged to exclude PC gamers from many well-known titles such as the Halo series. They claimed, quite correctly, that PC games hurt console sales. This tactic aggravated many gamers, but was good for the bottom line.

Many games didn’t have a split screen option, but did include an online option. This means that the game was designed to support multiple players, and split screen was simply not included.

Companies like Microsoft did this in order to drive online gaming, and, by extension, the fees they collect for providing online services.

Now I know I’m trying to make mountains out of mole-

hills. I understand that the situations described above did not hurt anybody. That being said, I think it is clear that these markets were not functioning in the best interests of the consumer, and that these problems were caused in the name of profit, or greed if you like. We have established that businesses do not always do what is in the best interest of the customer. However, over time, market forces should run counter to these practices, and that is exactly what we have seen.

In the video game industry, companies such as Valve, GameFly and formerly Direct2Drive have increasingly been offering downloadable versions of the video games we all know and love. This has increased the demand for PC games, and therefore the number of games being offered.

At the same time independent

companies are coming out with console systems the Ouya.

These new systems offer PC usability with the convenience of a home console system. The Ouya even has a focus on inhome console gaming. Even within the established market things are beginning to change.

Microsoft announced plans to license a game to a specific console in order curb game lending and buybacks. This would have meant that for every time a game was played on a new console a fee would be charged.

After the announcement, video game enthusiasts were up in arms. Microsoft’s competitor, Sony, maker of the PlayStation, even jumped on the bandwagon and issued a response ridiculing the plan. Microsoft has since reversed this policy and will now provide its customers with a better product. It would seem

that competition is successfully regulating the industry.

The conclusion here is that free markets can, and do, work if we give them the necessary time and freedom while staying out of the way. When a market goes haywire it is of vital importance that we take a step back, and look if there’s something the government is doing to make things worse, or if we can imagine a way to profit from fixing the problem. I do not think that is too much to ask of our politicians. I am personally left with one question: Would our higher education and healthcare systems be better today, if we all cared just a little bit less?

Panthers RB Williams ready for extra work at 30 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — DeAngelo Williams isn't buying the adage that running backs hit the wall when they turn 30 — at least not in his case.

Williams, who turned 30 in April, said because he split carries the majority of his career with the Carolina Panthers he still feels durable enough to carry the load on offense.

The Panthers will ask him to do just that early on this season with backfield mate Jonathan Stewart out at least five games with an ankle injury.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said fullback Mike Tolbert and Armond Smith will get some carries, but he's counting on Williams to be the workhorse as the team turns to a more traditional running game.

"I don't have as much wear and tear as a 30-year-old back

that has played seven, eight or nine years at that position and took the blunt of the force and bulk of the carries," said Williams, who enters his eighth season in the NFL, all with the Panthers. "I still feel like I'm young. I know I'm young. In football years, they say running backs are old (by that age), but I don't buy it at all."

Williams, Carolina's all-time leader rusher with 5,784 yards, will be tested right away.

The Panthers open the season Sunday at home against the Seattle Seahawks, whose defense allowed the fewest points in the NFL last season.

Williams was held to 6 yards on six carries and fumbled once in Carolina's 16-12 loss to Seattle last October, the low point of his season.

The following week he was

benched for Stewart.

But when Stewart injured his ankle later in the year, Williams was thrust back into the starting lineup and finished strong, averaging 89 yards rushing per game and 5.4 yards per carry over the final five games.

He closed the season by rushing for a franchise-record 210 yards against the New Orleans Saints, a game that was meaningless in terms of playoff implications but may have saved Williams' job.

He agreed to take a pay cut this offseason, but teammates said he's as hungry as ever.

Williams' longtime teammate Jordan Gross said he hasn't seen Williams' play slip at all even though his 4.3 yards per carry last season was down slightly from his career average of 4.9 yards per carry.

"He looks the same," said Gross, the team's left tackle.

"You watch him run and watch his style. He's never been a runyou-over kind of guy. But his style hasn't changed. He runs the same. He speed is the same.

His hair has gotten longer, that's the only difference."

Rivera smiled and cracked a joke when asked about Williams' ability to be the primary ball carrier this season at 30.

"He told me he was 28," Rivera said.

Rivera said Williams remains a weapon, calling him a true professional who "really works hard and does things the right way."

But Rivera added the Panthers are a better team when they can use the one-two punch of Williams and Stewart in the backfield.

NEW YORK (AP) — The earliest real signs of trouble for Andy Murray came in the 10th game of his U.S. Open quarterfinal. For 22 points stretched over 15 excruciating minutes Thursday, Murray's body language was as poor as his play.

When the 2012 champion pushed a simple forehand into the net, he smacked his palm against his forehead, once, twice, three times. When he left a similarly routine forehand too low, he mocked his footwork by

pressing one shoe atop the other.

When he sailed a later forehand long, he rolled his eyes and muttered. When he delivered his second double-fault, he swiped the ground with his racket.

And when he rushed yet another forehand on break point No. 6 of that key game — the ball drifting long to cede a set to his far-less-accomplished opponent, ninth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka — Murray cracked his racket on the court. Not satisfied, he trudged to his

changeover chair and whacked the racket again, mangling the frame.

Trying to defend a Grand Slam title for the first time, and not quite two months removed from his historic Wimbledon championship, Murray bowed out quickly, if not quietly, at Flushing Meadows, losing 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 to Wawrinka in a result that was surprising both because of who won and by how much.

"I have had a good run the last couple of years," said the

third-seeded Murray, who shook his hands in front of his face and screamed after dropping the second set. "It's a shame I had to play a bad match today."

A terrible match, truthfully.

He managed only 15 winners, 30 fewer than Wawrinka. He tapped in second serves as slow as 75 mph, allowing Wawrinka to hit four return winners and easily take control of countless other points.

The UConn women's tennis team will open the fall season with the Fairfield Doubles Festival at Fairfield University this weekend.

As the Huskies have been able to rest up after a long 2012-13 season, this year's squad looks full of talent especially with the addition of freshman, Emma Alderman.

Alderman will likely challenge for a top spot in the lineup in both singles and doubles.

"I believe that this season we are going to do very well

because in the last year we have improved so much as a team both mentally and physically," sophomore Srna Stosljevic.

Individually, Stosljevic will look to develop her already deadly serve while also looking to remain "mentally focused in my matches and working on my serve in pressure situations."

Coach Glenn Marshall, who has more two decades with the UConn tennis program has a side led by seniors Marie Gargiulo, Jennifer Learmonth and Lucy Nutting. The trio of seniors will look to motivate the younger members of

the team including the talents of Maxene Weinberg, Abby McKeon and Natalie Robson.

At the same time, members Alexandra Bergman, Emilie Burgess will also look to better their last season singles performances. In the spring 2013, Marshall's team finished 48-61, while their doubles contingents finished with a 25-27 record.

After only losing Julia Allen and Sarah Griffin to graduation, UConn brings back a strong core to improve upon last season. In doubles, McKeon and Nutting will look to continue where they left off last term in the number

one doubles spot – finishing with an overall record of 6-11 in the spring. Stosljevic and Weinberg pair together in a young and promising partnership, which will look to improve upon their 10-7 finish overall.

Stosljevic said that last year's seniors "were amazing leaders and helped me through my freshman year, and I looked up to those girls a lot. This fall we are going to have another group of great seniors who I know will do just as well."

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Coaches can be fond of reminding players about how adversity creates opportunity. For the Brewers this year, there has been plenty of both.

Amid losses, injuries, and the shadow created by the Ryan Braun doping suspension, a couple young players have emerged with hopes of sticking in the big leagues for the long haul.

Second baseman Scooter Gennett is among the league leaders since Aug. 1, batting .386 during that period. Left fielder Khris Davis is hitting nearly .300 with nine homers since rejoining the team on July 23, replacing Braun on the roster.

All-Star Jean Segura has already established himself as one of the top shortstops in baseball. The 23-year-old was hitting .304 with a National League-leading 39 stolen bases entering Thursday's games. The Brewers, who were off, play next on Friday against the Cubs.

"The thing about Scooter, Khris and Segura is they bring energy. They're still excited.

They're in their boyhood stages yet," Brewers general man-

ager Doug Melvin said. "I love it when a player brings a kid's mentality."

This has all been welcome news for the team, of course.

Braun, the 2011 NL MVP, was suspended July 22 for the rest of this season for taking performance-enhancing drugs.

A month later, he apologized and there were more PEDs headlines.

Besides that, Mat Gamel and Corey Hart have missed the season with knee injuries.

Rickie Weeks went down for the year with a strained left hamstring in August. Aramis Ramirez has missed about two months during two different stints on the disabled list.

Going into Friday, the Brewers were 60-79, fourth in the NL Central.

"I look at our ballclub right now, and it's unfortunate how our season turned out," Melvin said. "But that's allowed us the opportunity with the other circumstances and with injuries to look at these younger guys."

Gennett — he of the baseball nickname and 5-foot-10 build — isn't wasting his shot at second with the veteran Weeks sidelined, even if it's

not the way he wanted to get on the field.

He has a spark that Melvin likes, such as when the 23-year-old infielder this week ranged to his right in the hole and slid to one knee against the Angels before bouncing up a split second later with a strong throw to get the runner at first.

"Shoot, I could sit here all day," Gennett said when asked what inspired him to pursue a baseball career. "But it boils down to just how I always wanted to play baseball and never let anybody tell me what I could or couldn't do. I made my own decisions with work ethic and how much time I put into it."

Manager Ron Roenicke wants Gennett draw more walks, especially if he uses him in the leadoff position.

Gennett on the year is hitting .328 with five homers and 14 RBIs in 134 at-bats with eight walks.

Davis is hitting .279 with nine homers and 21 RBIs. Davis swings with so much intensity at the plate, he nearly spins around like a corkscrew when he misses. When he connects, it can be epic: His tworun homer to left-center off Pirates ace Francisco Liriano this week traveled an esti-

mated 428 feet.

Segura is hitting .304 with 12 homers and 46 RBIs, though he's tailed off a bit since June.

The Brewers acquired him at the 2012 trade deadline after sending Zack Greinke to the Los Angeles Angels.

Manager Mike Scioscia is well aware of what the Angels gave up.

"Jean's skill set is terrific," Scioscia said. "Right now, there's no doubt he's having a terrific year. His challenge is going to be a like a lot players who come up and have that good first go-around, is to keep searching for consistency and do it year in and year out."

Segura figures to be a mainstay for years to come. Davis, Gennett and other players getting a look down the stretch may have to impress again in spring training.

Melvin notes two of the club's current "veteran" leaders — catcher Jonathan Lucroy and All-Star outfielder Carlos Gomez — are only 27, too.

"In the individual mind of the player, a lot of time the player is performing to get to the big leagues," Melvin said.

"When they get to the big leagues, the aspect of doing little things to help the team win becomes more important in their minds."

Women's soccer hopes to keep a 'clean sheet'

By Joe Crisalli & Kyle Constable Campus Correspondent & Staff Writer The UConn women’s soccer team will look to grab their third consecutive win today against the Maine Black Bears at 5 p.m. at Morrone Stadium.

The Huskies will also play former Big East rival Syracuse on Sunday at 1 p.m. as part of the two-game weekend home stand.

UConn defeated Central Connecticut 3-0 in their previous contest and have kept their opposition off the board in their last two games.

“I just want to keep it a clean sheet for as long as I can,” goalkeeper Emily Armstrong said. “I am excited with my defense in front of me and we’re going to do really well.”

The UConn defense hasn’t staggered as of late, as they not only have kept their net empty, but have also done a good job being in the right position and helping one another get to the right spots at the right time.

The defense for the Huskies begins with junior Gabrielle Charno, who was named the American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

“After the Wisconsin game we came together,” Armstrong said. “We knew where each other were, so if one stepped, one dropped in and covered the space. We were always in the right position so we always have very good cover.”

After losing their first two games to Wisconsin and No. 2 Stanford, UConn defeated Boston College and Central, tallying a total of four goals.

Freshman forward Rachel Hill, who scored two of the four goals, has been one of the young stars for the Huskies thus far in the season.

Hill was named the American’s Rookie of the Week and is currently the Huskies leading scorer.

“Hopefully I can keep it up,” Hill said. “So far I have done well, but it’s only a few games now so hopefully I can keep doing it.”

The Huskies currently sit at 2-2-0, but have a ton of confidence offensively and defensively heading into their matchup with Maine.

Maine is 3-0-0 to start the year, beating Holy Cross, Bryant and Central.

“We have to take it one game at a time,” Coach Len Tsantiris said. “Maine is going to be a good opponent and we have to be ready, prepare and play the way we want to play; we’re not going to worry about what they’re going to do. … We have to get better as a team, that’s the focus, better defending and better attacking.”

Their second opponent of the weekend, Syracuse, has also started off the season strong, piecing together a 4-1-0 record with wins against Hofstra, Albany, Colgate and Fairleigh-Dickinson.

Sophomore forward Erin Simon leads the Orange in offense this season, scoring four goals. Adding freshman Stephanie Skilton’s three goals to the total, the Syracuse offense has been enough to drive them to a strong start.

As for the Huskies’ approach to the game, Tsantiris’ philosophy for playing the multisport rival is simple.

“What the other team does is up to them, we’re not going to change anything because of this, that or the other,” Tsantiris said. “Every game you’ve got learn, move forward and get better.”

For UConn, Syracuse is no different than any other opponent they will face this season, according to Tsantiris. Despite several seasons of mediocre performance, the goal for the Huskies is still to win a national championship.

“Is this group able to get there?” Tsantiris said. “We’ll see.”

Joseph.Crisalli@UConn.edu Kyle.Constable@UConn.edu

Field hockey takes a one game at a time approach from BEWARE, page 12 Stevens spoke of the Huskies’ need for stout team defense against the Nittany Lions. The coaching staff has made it clear it will be looking to continue to develop a cohesive defensive unit from top to bottom as the season progresses.

“We will only be pleased when we start shutting out our opponents,” Stevens said.

“Although our backs are tasked with playing defense, our defensive effort begins with our strikers. Team defense has been our focus. We defend as a team and attack as a team.”

UConn last faced Penn State on Aug. 31, 2012, a game that the Huskies won 2-1. In that game, then-junior forward

Marie Elena Bolles netted both goals.

The Nittany Lions’ 2012 season ended with a 5-2 upset loss to Syracuse in the Elite Eight of the NCAA National Championship.

A win Sunday would move the Huskies to 3-0 on the season giving them a strong case to ascend into the top three in the NFHCA/Penn Moto Coaches Poll as well as a hefty boost of confidence heading into a three game homestand between Sept. 13 and Sept. 18.

But as always, the Huskies are taking it one day, one game, one play at a time.

Patriots defense all too familiar with rookie QBs

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Between Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck and Ryan Tannehill, New England’s defense last season had its hands full trying to defend rookie quarterbacks.

They don’t have to wait very long to see if that experience will pay off.

The Patriots will once again be tested by a first-year signal caller Sunday when Buffalo’s EJ Manuel makes his debut in the season opener.

Facing a rookie, though, doesn’t necessarily translate into greater opportunities for a defense.

“My eyes light up anytime I get to play and get the chance to hit the quarterback. It really don’t matter who’s in there,” said defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, who chased down his fair share of rookies during his first nine seasons in the league, all with Oakland. “We’ve just got to do our job and stay in our lanes and try to collapse that pocket.”

While practicing and preparing for a rookie quarterback has become commonplace in New England, studying Manuel hasn’t exactly been easy. The 16th overall pick out of Florida State completed 26 of 33 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown without an interception in his first two preseason games.

That’s all the film the Patriots have on him, though.

The clear-cut favorite to start the season, Manuel underwent a minor procedure on his left knee Aug. 18 and missed the Bills’ final two preseason games.

“Watch the film we have on him, and obviously the coaches do a good job,” Patriots safety Steve Gregory said. “I’m sure through the draft process and everything, they scouted that guy and we know what he is and we just have to be ready for him.”

The Patriots actually are ready for two quarterbacks.

Undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel, the only other quarterback on Buffalo’s roster, was in line to start the opener until Manuel returned to practice Sunday and was named the team’s starter three days later.

“We know he’s a real athletic guy. Good passer, had a lot of production in college, played well in the Indianapolis game, scrambled well,” New England coach Bill Belichick said of Manuel.

“We’ll have to be ready for him and Tuel — really anybody that is on the roster. We all know that whichever guy starts the game may or may not be in there the next play — injuries, substitutions and so forth. We have to be ready, but he’s impressive.”

That’s also an appropriate adjective to describe the play of rookies last season against the Patriots.

Gamecocks’ Spurrier doesn’t feel old Georgia hate COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier says he doesn’t feel the same old hate from Georgia fans like he faced during his Florida days.

“You’ve got to realize, it’s hard for Georgia to really get mad at South Carolina,” Spurrier said. “They’ve got so many teams they’re mad at or are mad at them.”

Still, he’s doing his best to make Bulldogs supporters just as angry about the Gamecocks.

Thesixth-ranked Gamecocks (1-0) have won three straight in the series and four of the past six. South Carolina faces No. 11 Georgia (0-1) on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Spurrier was one of top targets for angry Georgia fans during his successful run at Florida from 1990 to 2001.

Spurrier’s Gators won 11 of 12 over the Bulldogs in the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”, including the famous game at Athens in 1995 where Florida became the first to score 50 or more points at Sanford Stadium in a 52-17 blowout.

The Gators accomplished that with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes, the last on

Spurrier ’s teams have “We wanted to try to make backed it up on the field in it a memorable game for the recent years. The Gamecocks Gators, and it was,” Spurrier behind then freshman Marcus said in postgame remarks.

Especially after Georgia fell, 38-35, at No. 4 Clemson last week.

The Bulldogs held a 21-14 lead midway through the opening half at Death Valley and looked able to move the football on the ground with star tailback Todd Gurley or through the air with quarterback Aaron Murray.

But the Tigers defense stiffened midgame — they forced six straight three-and-outs — as Clemson built a 38-28 lead that the Bulldogs couldn’t overcome. Murray, who was sacked four times despite throwing for 323 yards, knows the offense will have to improve if they hope to defeat South Carolina.

Murray was sitting out a redshirt season in 2009 the last time Georgia defeated the Gamecocks.

“We definitely want to change that before we leave, at least,” he said.

Spurrier believes that win or lose, he won’t get that much attention from Georgia supporters, who care more about defeating Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn and other more traditional rivals.

Huskies on the prowl for third win

By Jack Mitchell Staff Writer

By Cody Milardo Campus Correspondent

The UConn women’s cross country team will open the season Saturday in the 13th annual Shawn M. Nassaney Memorial Race at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I. This will be the first meet for newly hired head coach Amy Yoder Begley. Begley brings a load of experience to UConn, as she was a two-time national champion runner in college at the University of Arkansas and competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Begley was handed the reigns to the cross country program in early August from long-time coach Bill Morgan, who coached at UConn for 32 years.

“I am ecstatic to introduce Amy Begley to our team and everyone associated with UConn. This hire is a statement to the direction we are heading,” Morgan said when Begley was named coach.

Begley will look to hit the ground running this season and start off on the right foot this Saturday.

“I am excited to be a Husky and build on an already successful program that Coach Morgan has created,” Begley said.

UConn looks to continue their success from last season where they reached the NCAA championships for the first time in program history, placing eighth out of 31 teams.

Seniors Brigitte Mania and Lauren Sara, and junior Terra Briody will lead this young team through the season, as the rest of the squad is littered with sophomores and a lone freshman.

In the Shawn M. Nassaney Memorial Race this weekend, prizes are awarded to the top three male and female runners, top Bryant alumni finisher, and top overall team.

The race is held annual to commemorate Shawn Nassaney, who unexpectedly died in 1999.

Coach Begley will be looking for a strong showing from the entire team as they gear up for their first competitive meet on Sept. 14, while also running for a good cause.

Efthimia Kutrubis rushes down the field as she outruns Rutgers defenders. Kutrubis is one of the many Huskies to help keep the season perfect.

The UConn field hockey team travels to Penn State to take on the No. 6 Nittany Lions in University Park, Pa. Sunday at noon for their third game of the 2013 season.

The Huskies have a 2-0 record after securing a pair of road wins last weekend on the West Coast, besting No. 12 Stanford 2-1 in double overtime and California-Berkeley 2-1 in regulation.

“Our team made a significant step from the Stanford game to the Cal game. We limited Cal’s shots on goal and did not give up any penalty corner opportunities,” head coach Nancy Stevens said. “We have made several positional changes which will help us going forward. Our goal is to improve with each game and, so far, we have done that.”

UConn takes on a Penn State team that currently stands at 1-1 on the year. The team split its first two contests against a pair of top-ten teams, defeating No. 8 Old Dominion 3-1 on Aug. 30 and losing to No. 7 Virginia 4-2 on Sept. 1.

“Penn State had a great start against Old Dominion and has shown an ability to score goals,” Stevens said. “We match up well with them and it will be a hard fought game.”

The Nittany Lions are led by junior forward Laura Gebhart, who had a busy summer as captain of the U.S. Junior World Cup team, a squad which also included UConn’s Marie Elena Bolles.

A second team All-American in 2012, Gebhart is also a member of the 2013 U.S. Women’s National team, which represents the United States at the Summer Olympics. She leads Penn State with four assists on the year.

Senior midfielder Brittany Grzywacz – reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and a third team All-American last season – will also be a focal point for the Huskies.

“We will have to contain the speed and technical ability of their forwards and limit their scoring opportunities,” said Stevens regarding UConn’s defensive gameplan.

Men’s soccer looks for second straight win

By Mike Peng Staff Writer

After a closely contested 1-0 win over St. Francis to start its season last Friday, the UConn men’s soccer team (1-0-0) will look to have the same success when they take on Boston University at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium.

With the opening win, UConn has climbed up to No. 3 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of American poll following several upsets across the country in the opening weekend, including losses by preseason top three Indiana, Georgetown and Maryland. North Carolina and Creighton have moved up to No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.

In other polls, both Soccer America and

TopDrawerSoccer.com have UConn ranked at No. 1.

Three Huskies also took home conference weekly honors Tuesday as junior Andre Blake was named American Athletic Conference Goalkeeper of the Week following his 28th career shutout in the match against St. Francis; while freshman forward Cyle Larin earned the American’s Rookie of the Week nods, thanks to his goal in the victory. In addition, senior midfielder George Fochive was tabbed to the American’s Honor Roll.

As for the Huskies’ opponent tonight, the BU Terriers (0-1-0), the season did not get off to a pleasant start following their 2-1 overtime loss to in-city rival, Boston College.

BU is in its inaugural season in the Patriot League and was picked to finish second in the conference. The Terriers will

feature three preseason AllConference honorees on the squad with 2011 America East Defender of the Year Kelvin Madzongwe, senior midfielder Anthony Ciccone and junior forward Dominique Badji.

In last year’s contest between the two, the teams earned a 1-1 draw at Morrone Stadium when UConn was ranked at No. 4 at the time.

The Huskies got their goal from then-senior Carlos Alvarez while the Terriers’ Ali Sozeri scored the equalizer in the 60th minute.

UConn originally had a scheduled match against the William & Mary Tribe this past Monday, but the contest was postponed due to inclement weather, and no make-up date has yet been announced.

The UConn volleyball team will play host to the UConn Classic, an annual volleyball tournament, this weekend in Gampel Pavilion.

UConn will open against the Northeastern Huskies on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Northeastern had a very successful 2012 season, finishing with a 20-7 overall record and a 9-3 conference record. Despite a great regular season, Northeastern’s dreams were cut short in the Colonial Athletic Tournament in a loss to James Madison.

UConn faced off against Northeastern last season, being shut out in the effort and getting swept 3-0.
