UM ROTC to compete in Beale Street Drill Meet on Saturday

by Brian Wilson

BY ERICA HORTON News Reporter

Navy ROTC students dig a plot in front of the Elma Roane Field House in preparation of the installation of a large, decorative anchor Thursday afternoon.

University of Memphis ROTC will compete against 23 schools from around the country Saturday for the 5th Annual Beale Street Drill Meet and Endurance Challenge. Named after the downtown landmark, the drill meet will feature several rounds and categories including, but not limited to, rifle and pistol matches, sailing and an endurance race. The competition, which is free and open to the public will take place on the Memorial Field at The U of M from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Gunnery Sgt. Frank Kammer said the competition is like football for ROTC groups. “The competition is fun and very competitive and you get bragging rights,” he said. “Some groups are coming from Berkeley, Mo. — all for the thrill of competition and peer camaraderie.”

The groups will also go to Beale Street after the competition to enjoy the nightlife and namesake of the competition, he said. Although the public isn’t participating, Kammer said it should be fun for anyone to watch the competing schools. “I think it’s entertaining to those looking; because people are astounded by how we do what we do,” he said. “It’s more for those who look in awe. They have fun and see what we do and go through.” Kammer said he wants people to feel proud while watching the competition. “The pride we have as Americans and Memphians, and know that the military is not all ‘Go out and fight,’” he said. “We’re making good officers here and giving them quality values.” Scott Miller, senior history major and marine option in the The U of M’s NROTC, said he

They could hit their resident advisor in the face with a pie, throw down in a moon bounce pedestal joust or conform to the more ceremonial luau methods — gyrating their

hips with hula hoops, hurling Frisbees as far as west lawn reached or spiking a volleyball against their opposing challengers. “I can’t wait to get pied in the face,” said Evan Simelton, an RA in Richardson Towers South who challenged his residents to take on the task.

Pom from page 1 real honor to be representing the country as well as The University,” said Frankie Conklin, director of Tiger spirit squads. Winning the Hip-hop National Championship in January gave the squad automatic eligibility to be considered for team USA in the Championships. The International Cheer Union selected two squads to represent Team USA. Memphis will represent them in the hiphop category and Pace Elite, a competitive cheer and dance program from California, will compete in the jazz and pom categories. The squad has revamped its championship-winning nationals routine, Conklin said. The team will bring its trademark Memphis swag, but instead of repping the Tigers, their routine will be all about the USA. “For our nationals competition since we were representing Memphis, the music said ‘Memphis’ and ‘Tigers.’ We changed the music to say ‘USA’ and ‘America’ to represent the country. Our shirts now say ‘America’ instead of ‘Memphis’ and on the inside there’s a flag,” Kelly said. At one point during the routine the girls open their jackets to reveal an American flag design printed on the inside. “I’ve looked at the other teams and, from what I can tell, our biggest competition will be Japan,” said Jamie Kelly, captain of the Memphis Pom Squad and senior business management major. Team Japan won the hip-hop gold medal in 2010 with Team USA coming in second for the silver and Team China taking the bronze. Mexico, Germany, Scotland, Guatemala and Australia also participated in the hip-hop division that year. “We have practice almost every night. We changed some of the tricks and music to make it more elite to make sure we look our best. We do it over and over to build stamina. It takes a lot of hard work,” Kelly said. During the athletic season, the Pom Squad practices four days a week, four hours each day. All 21 squad members will travel to Orlando, but 14 will compete. There are seven alternates on the squad. “Our squad is very talented. I love the fact that we all have the talent to combine in one routine to come out winners, and all the spirit at the games and the recognition we get. Being on the squad is very reputable,” Kelly said. Natalie Smith, Pom Squad member and sophomore journalism major, said it feels amazing to be given the chance to represent her country as a member of Team USA at the International Cheer Union world competition. “It’s an awesome opportunity. If we were ever selected, I feel like this is the best year because our team is incredibly close and our talent is phenomenal,” Smith said.

Air Force ROTC dines out

BY MEAGAN NICHOLS News Reporter

Air Force ROTC Detachment 785 will celebrate their 60th year at The University of Memphis today during their annual Dining Out event. Several local dignitaries and detachment alumni will be in attendance.

“Dining Out is a formal military tradition that brings together everyone in the detachment,” said Zackary Huffman, public affairs officer for the Air Force ROTC. “It is basically designed so that the members can have a good time developing fellowship and camaraderie.” This year’s guest speaker is

Maj. Gen. Works, former chief of staff for the TN Governor’s Adjutant General. Other distinguished guests include: Maj. Gen Young, Col. Mark Devine and Detachment Air Force Officer Fuller, a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross Award. “It has been 60 years since The University of Memphis

Flying Tigers were established,” Huffman said. “This semester we haven’t really celebrated the 60th year of our detachment much, but it will be celebrated and recognized more at the Dining Out event. Most of the honored guests attending this event are alumni from previous years.”

helped to supervise planning of the drill meet as a commanding officer. “This is the largest drill meet we’ve ever had,” he said. “The majority of schools that found out about it were really excited because of the variety of events.” Savannah State University won first place overall in last year’s competition and will return to compete for their title. There are about 200 students in The U of M’s ROTC program. Captain Robert Wickman, marine officer instructor, said this year the group is more focused on being a good host. “I believe our competition is the largest one in the country that’s all-encompassing. We do it to promote camaraderie and give them a competitive environment with other students,” he said. “And our students are very excited about it.”

sented, and each organization has their own process of presentation,” Burks said. The new initiates are usually presented with an air of mystery around them. The groups will not even reveal how many new members will be presented. Terrion Jamison, senior psychology major and Phi Beta Sigma member, said students should come to the show at 2:14 p.m. in Audubon Park if they have any questions about the new members. “It’s a secret, but I can say it’s going to be really good,” Jamison said. “They have been working hard to put on a good show for everybody.” Each new group of initiates is referred to as a “line,” in which they all receive aliases and numbers. Names usually describe the member’s personality and spelling is often changed to fit in the organization initials, name and chapter letters. “I was the number three on my line of seven in spring 2010 and we were named ‘Lucky 7,’” he said. This will be the second line revealed since he had his come out show. He said every time he goes to a show it makes him reminisce about how excited he was when he performed as a new member. Gerald Mitchell, senior business major and Kappa Alpha Psi member, said he remembers his come out show “like it was yesterday.” Mitchell entered the Elma Roane Field House in the spring of 2008 as the number 10 on his line called the 18 K.U.T.S. of Perfecktion. He said it is a memory he will carry with him for the rest of his life. When the new members enter the room, they wear different things to hide who they are like hoodies, masks, hats and sunglasses. Before his mask was removed, Mitchell said he thought to himself “It’s officially official” and afterwards he threw up the fraternity’s hand signal and allowed the eight men behind him to be revealed. The new group will come out at 1:30 p. m. today at a location that will be announced today at 9:11 a.m. “This is the first line Kappa Beta chapter has had since 2009,” he said. “Can’t say how many are coming out because that would ruin the surprise, but after years of controversy ’Kappa Beta is back.’” Jessica Roman, senior criminal justice major and member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., was already a member when the 10 TraitZ of PHIner Womanhood came out last fall. She said each chapter is different, but her chapter, Rho Gamma, usually starts the ceremony with a song then the line greets the other Divine Nine organizations. They continue the show with the line quoting organization history and information before they reveal the participants and allow them to perform a line dance for the crowd. “I was proud to see them come out,” Roman said. “I felt that my legacy would be continued.”

Tigers take on Pirates in weekend showdown BY SCOTT HALL Sports Editor

and the Night of the Yule Ball BY NATALIE LEDOUX News Reporter Muggles, wizards, students and all are invited to the first Yule Ball. Free butter beer, love potions, chocolate frogs and chocolate-covered wands are just part of the magic of the night hosted by the Harry Potter Club tonight. “That sounds very enticing. Personally I am not an expert in regards to ‘Harry Potter,’ but would they allow a muggle like me to join in on the festivities? If so, what are the drawing factors to said soiree, and will there be libation offered?” asked Tyler Fuehrer, senior history major, upon first hearing of the Ball. Students can attend the Ball tonight from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the University Center River Room. Admission is free, but the club is accepting donations. “The Yule Ball is technically supposed to occur around Christmas, but that is such a busy time of year. We decided that this settles better with everyone’s schedules,” said Alec Underhill, President of HPC and senior biology and chemistry major. The Yule Ball, an event in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” is a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, a competition between a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and students at other magical schools. The tournament contestants and their dates open the Ball.

match the books, but no one will be turned away based on what they wear.

“I think people are mainly dressing formal and giving it a ‘Harry Potter’ twist. For example, I’m wearing a suit, but I’ll be wearing my Gryffindor tie,” Underhill said. Members of HPC, dubbed “Potterheads,” are required to have an account with Pottermore. com, an online website created by J.K. Rowling for her fans. It’s a virtual way to read and rediscover the series. No application or fee to join the club is required and no student will be denied membership, but HPC doesn’t recognize any member who “willfully demonstrates detrimental actions” towards members, the group’s constitution states. Harry Potter Club members are organizing a Quidditch team to provide another way for “Potterheads” to get involved.

Coming off a 4-2 loss to Arkansas State in midweek, The University of Memphis Tigers will try to move up the Conference USA standings when they host league foe East Carolina this weekend. Memphis has struggled against the Pirates over the years. ECU holds a 21-10 lead in the all-time series, and have won eight of nine series against the Tigers. The lone Memphis series win was a sweep on ECU’s home field in 2006. The games have been close, however, with 15 of the 31 meetings decided by three runs or less. East Carolina comes into the weekend slate at FedExPark with a 23-9-1 record, 6-2-1 in C-USA play. They split a pair of midweek games, beating Elon 3-2 in 10 innings and losing to Old Dominion on Wednesday, 3-2. Memphis

In league play, they have a combined 2.98 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 60.1 innings. Moll has a 0.38 ERA in league games, allowing seven hits and one earned run in 23.2 innings pitched. He also pitched a complete-game one-hitter on April 7, the first for Memphis since 1994. Starting pitching has been solid for the Tigers all season. Out of 28 games this season, 20 of them have seen quality starts, already three more than the team got last season as a

They have been outscored 38-16 in the eighth inning overall, 17-14 in league play. On the offensive side, Memphis leads C-USA with 71 doubles and are on pace to approach the single-season record of 137. Seniors Eli Hynes and Adam McClain are tied for the team lead with 10 doubles each, with senior Jacob Wilson adding nine.

The event is free and open to

the public. Lonnie Latham, associate dean of multicultural affairs, said entertainment will include dance shows highlighting NativeAmerican, African and Japanese cultures. There is a hip-hop performance scheduled as well. “Students can learn to appreciate the different cultures at our University,” Latham said. “They will also learn to avoid the common misconceptions that exist about other cultures. This event can really open their eyes to a

whole new world.” Each year, students set up booths and tables to showcase their unique cultures. There will be monitors at student tables showing slides from their home countries and examples of what their lives may be like back home. The festival is hosted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and co-sponsored by the Student Government Association and the Center for International Student Programs and Services.

Golf

BY DAVID CAFFEY Sports Reporter After going in to the final round of the Memphis Intercollegiate six spots short of first, the University of Memphis men’s golf team rallied to earn their best finish of the spring, taking second overall in the tournament, which was held at Colonial Country Club. Led by redshirt sophomore Grant Miller’s third round score of 70 and sophomore Will Pearson’s fifth overall finish, The U of M was able to come within two strokes of taking the lead from Kennesaw State. The Tigers tied for first following a double-bogey from KSU’s Matt Nagy. However, a birdie on the final hole by Ben Greene sealed the deal for Kennesaw State, giving the Owls the tournament crown. After shooting 78-77-70 for the tournament, Milner finished tied for 15th place. Seniors Jonathan Fly and Jack Belote ended their two-day run tied for No. 18 overall, and junior Steve Lee earned the No. 33 spot for his performance. Redshirt junior Carlson Cox, junior Lexus Keoninh and redshirt freshman Alex Hoffman all finished within the top 50 for The U of M. Also contributing for Memphis were sophomore Erwan Vieillendent and Cory Gaylor, who ended the tournament tied for 63rd. The second-place finish in the Memphis Intercollegiate is the second-straight top-five performance for the golf team, as the U of M took third in the BancorpSouth Intercollegiate in Jackson, Miss., last week. Overall this season, the team has earned a tournament championship, finished in the top five in nine of 10 tournaments and has a 99-34-1 record in head-to-head play. Following their performance in the tournament, the team improved to No. 40 in Golfstat’s college golf rankings. With a scoring average of 72.4 this season, senior Jonathan Fly received the highest individual ranking for the Tigers at No. 131. Seven members of the team, including Fly, have earned top 10 finishes this season. “I’m very proud of the team and the level of consistency they have shown throughout the year,” head coach Grant Robbins said. “One of our goals this year was to finish the regular sea-

Now that we have accomplished that, we can focus on our goal of winning a conference championship.” The Tigers will resume play on April 22 as a part of the Conference USA Championships in Texarkana, Ark. The conference title will be heavily contested as C-USA currently has six representatives in Golfstat’s top 50, including No. 40 Memphis, No. 23 Central Florida and No. 33 UAB.
