Despite tuition freeze, student fees still expected to increase Independent Student Newspaper of the University of Memphis

By Mandy Hrach

news@dailyhelmsman.com While tuition likely will remain frozen for the first time in more than 20 years, University of Memphis students will still find it more expensive to attend

starting in August. The Tennessee Board of Regents is scheduled to meet June 19 to consider a mandatory fee increase of $307 per year for full-time students. The board will also consider a tuition freeze for in-state students and a tuition decrease for out-of-state

students. “A lot of students don’t understand there are two different types of fees they pay,” Monica Greppin-Watts, communications director of the Tennessee Board of Regents said. On top of tuition, full-time students pay $628 in mandatory

program fees every semester that go toward everything from new technology to free tickets at athletic events. If the fee hike is approved, students will pay $298 annually to build a bridge across the railroad tracks and a new campus recreational center. The remaining

$9 will go to the student Health Services. In 2005, controversy struck when students learned they were to pay for the construction of the new University Center. Many students expressed resentment

Professor to give walking tour of neighborhood By Charles Gray

Special to The Daily Helmsman

The University of Memphis turned a century old two years ago. In the time since its inception, it has grown from a small teachers school into a bustling city university. But how? There’s a long history of growth, prosperity and social progress on the University of Memphis campus, and few know it better than Memphis historian Jimmy Ogle. “I worked with the University in 2012 to do a walking tour covering the history of the area,” Ogle said. “With so much having changed in the past two years from Raines’ retirement to the closing and opening of businesses on Highland, I thought it might be time to revisit the tour.” Ogle is hosting a walking tour around the campus Wednesday. The walk-about will start at the Normal Station Depot historical marker just north of the train tracks and southeast of Ellington Hall. It will begin at 12:30 p.m. and last roughly an hour. The event will take place on campus grounds as well as portions of the Highland Strip. During the walk, Ogle will discuss local historical figures and events. Covered in the tour will be a detailing of the development of The University of Memphis from where it started in 1912 as West Tennessee

Full-time students pay $62 every semester to support the UC renovation. A survey was presented to students about the new recreational center and bridge before the proposal was passed, and similar feelings surfaced when students found out they would be the ones paying for the construction. “I think it’s absolutely ridiculous because I’m a senior and unless the bridge and rec center is built and ready to go by fall, then I have no use for it,” Ladd Caldwell, business management major, said. “They should only charge new incoming freshman that fee because they will be getting the most out of it.” While the survey asked students if they were in favor of the land bridge and new recreational center, it did not mention the fee hike that would

Normal School. Ogle will discuss how the school initially came to the area and how it has grown since, the history of the grounds including when buildings came to be and important/anecdotal stories of said buildings. After starting at the train plot, the tour will also trace down Walker Avenue and up S. Highland Avenue where Ogle will talk about how the street has changed over the past 100 years from a small area outside of city limits where locals could get groceries, to a hive of youthful and activity in the late ’60s, to a modern bar district with some restaurants and shops. He will then walk toward the University via Watauga Avenue and end at the Administration Building. “I’m looking to talk about how The West Normal School began outside of city limits and grew into the University and changed the surrounding area,” Ogle said. Ogle is a native Memphian who has grown up learning about the Bluff City. Known for his vast knowledge of the area, Ogle often gives historic tours throughout different regions of Memphis. He attended the U of M and has served on the stat crew for Tigers basketball since the 1970s. He currently works the clock. The event is open to the public.

have to take place in order to pay for the construction. “We received the highest rate of response we’ve had in any survey ever in such a short amount of time,” Rosie Bingham, vice president for Student Affairs said. “The response was an overwhelming yes.” The projects are set to start next summer and finish the following fall, according to Ricky Kirby, president of the Student Government Association. Students who pay the fee and graduate before the construction is over will still be able to utilize the facility for free for as many semesters as they paid the fee. All tuition decisions and fee changes must be approved by the Tennessee Board of Regents, but the U of M administration is recommending that the board approve the tuition freeze for in-state students along with the fee increase and the decrease in out-of-state tuition. “Tuition will be set in June. The U of M stated they do not want a raise, but that won’t officially be finalized for another month,” Greppin-Watts said.

Let your geek flag fly By Patrick Lantrip

news@dailyhelmsman.com Members of Phi Kappa Phi and the University of Memphis Honors Student Council are hosting “Geek Week” from April 21-25, and will host several events throughout the week to raise awareness for their associations. “For Geek Week, Phi Kappa Phi and the Honors Student Council are joining forces to promote our organizations and to promote academics and honors on campus,” TK Phung, 21, a senior biomedical engineering major and volunteer from the Honors Student Council, said. Festivities began Monday as volunteers passed out popsicles on the University Center lawn to promote their upcoming activities. Tuesday, the groups will hold a Harry Potter lecture by professors Cathy Dice and Tammy Jones at 6:30 p.m. in the Honors Hall. Pizza and refreshments will be served. Wednesday, career services will be on hand for a graduate school prep where they discuss the LSAT, MCAT, GRE and other graduate school exams. Geek Week concludes Thursday with a game night in Honors Hall. Organizers hope that this week’s events will help make eligi-

ble students aware of the benefits of joining an academic society. “During the school year there is not a lot of opportunities for the honors councils to promote themselves because we usually do events just for our members,” Phung said. “So, we are trying to open it up to all students so that they can learn about the honors program and Phi Kappa Phi to see if they want to join these organizations next year.” The Honors Student Council is part of the University Honors program, which describes itself as an enhanced educational experience for high-achieving students that offers students the opportunity to take small classes and interdisciplinary seminars with the University’s faculty. Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest honor society and was founded in 1897. While it is a nationwide, multidisciplinary society only the top 7.5 percent of juniors and the top 10 percent of seniors are eligible to join. “There are a lot of networking possibilities, we have a scholarship grant for joining and a lot of other membership benefits to take advantage of,” Shelby Price a child development major with Phi Kappa Phi said. “If you study hard, you can reward yourself by being recognized.”

you can burn your hand. Besides that, the printer is actually pretty straight forward.” Released in March of this year, the fifth generation 3D printer is faster and easier to use than any other made by MakerBot, according to the company’s website. Behles said these were major reasons why this printer was chosen over the others. “We want students to be able to create their works of art,” Behles said. “On the library website, we have links to already made projects students can use. We even have downloads for three programs that will allow them to edit and build models. These things will be everywhere in the future, so it is better students get some practice with them now.” Although the library has the newest printer on campus, it is not the only one that students have access to. The Crews Center for Entrepreneurship carries the 3D Touch and Cubex Trio, both made by 3D Systems. Director of the Crews Center Mike Hoffmeyer said they are in the process of getting a third one. “We are getting the MakerBot Replicator Z18,” Hoffmeyer said. “It is much bigger than the two we have currently. We will roll it out at the University Center when we get it so students can see what it can do.” All 3D printing must be cleared by Hoffmeyer first. He requires

Tuesday, April 22, 2014 • 5 student projects to promote “creativity, innovations or entrepreneurship.” However, he did explain that they can encompass a large variety of ventures. “We won’t let people just print out toys,” Hoffmeyer said. “We want students to work on prototypes that will hopefully be mass produced one day, but we have had some pretty fun things made here. We had students make jewelry and light up garments for a fashion show.” The Crews Center also advises students on a business model and design their project. Derrick Meyers, a mechanical engineering junior, will help turn student drawings into a 3D model. “We show them how the programs run then we teacher them how to use it,” Meyers said. “We will help a student do everything from 3D modeling on the Auto CAD program to circuitry of their product.” However, the title of first and most expensive 3D printer on campus goes to the Herff College of Engineering. The Alaris 30 made by Objet was purchased two years ago and cost approximently $35,000. It is also only available for students in the engineering program said associate Professor Thomas Banning. “Robert Hewett really pushed for us to get this and he usually the only person allowed to physically operate it,” Banning said while he picked up a white plastic crescent wrench. “It does amazing work. This tool has moving parts but was made all in one print.”

Grim work for families as more bodies discovered By Gillian Wong and Hyung-Jin Kim Associated Press

JINDO, South Korea — There are no names listed as relatives huddle around white signboards to identify bodies from a sunken ferry — just the slimmest of clues about mostly young lives now lost. Many favored hoodies and track pants. One girl painted her fingernails red and toenails black. Another had braces on her teeth. As divers increasingly make their way into the ship, including a new entryway through the dining hall Monday, there’s been a big jump in the discovery of corpses. And that means that on Jindo, an island near where theferry sank Wednesday, relatives of the missing must look at sparse details such as gender, height, hair length and clothing to see if their loved ones have been found. “I’m afraid to even look at the white boards,” said Lim Son-mi, 50, whose 16-year-old daughter, Park Hye-son, has not been found. “But because all the information is quite similar, whenever I look at it, my heart breaks.” That’s why relatives have already lined up to give DNA samples at the gymnasium where they are staying, to make bodies easier to identify when they are recovered. With hopes of rescue withered, relatives angrily confronted government officials several times Sunday, furious as what they see as an inadequate response to a disaster that may have claimed more than 300 lives. The confirmed death toll rose to 64 Monday as prosecutors said they detained four crew members — two first mates, a second mate and a chief engineer — whom they suspect of failing to protect passengers. The captain and two crew members were formally arrested earlier, and senior prosecutor Ahn Sang-don said prosecutors will decide within 48 hours whether ask a court for arrest warrants for the newly detained crew. A transcript released by the coast guard Sunday shows the ship was crippled by confusion and indecision well after it began listing Wednesday. Many people followed the captain’s initial order to stay below deck, where it is feared they remain trapped. About 240 people are still missing. The ferry sank with 476 people on board, most of them students from a single high school. According to the transcript, about 30

minutes after the Sewol began tilting, a crew member repeatedly asked a marine traffic controller whether passengers would be rescued if they abandoned ship off South Korea’s southern coast. That followed several statements from the ship that people aboard could not move and another in which someone said that it was “impossible to broadcast” instructions. An unidentified official at Jindo Vessel Traffic Services Center told the crew that they should “go out and let the passengers wear life jackets and put on more clothing.” “If this ferry evacuates passengers, will you be able to rescue them?” the unidentified crew member asked. “At least make them wear life rings and make them escape!” the trafficcenter official responded. “If this ferry evacuates passengers, will they be rescued right away?” the crew member asked again. “Don’t let them go bare — at least make them wear life rings and make them escape,” the traffic official repeated. “The rescue of human lives from the Sewol ferry ... the captain should make his own decision and evacuate them. We don’t know the situation very well. The captain should make the final decision and decide whether you’re going to evacuate passengers or not.” “I’m not talking about that,” the crew member said. “I asked — if they evacuate now, can they be rescued right away?” The traffic official then said patrol boats would arrive in 10 minutes, though another civilian ship was already nearby and had told controllers that it would rescue anyone who went overboard. Ahn said Monday that a number of Sewol crew members, but not the captain, took part in the conversation. The cause of the disaster is not yet known, but prosecutors have said the ship made a sharp turn before it began to list. More than 170 people survived the sinking of the Sewol, which had been on its way from the South Korean port city of Incheon to the southern tourist island of Jeju. The captain took more than half an hour to issue an evacuation order, which several passengers have said they never heard. The confirmed death toll climbed over the weekend after divers finally found a way inside the sunken vessel and quickly discovered more than a dozen bodies. They had been hampered for days by strong currents, bad weather

tives attempted a long protest march to the presidential Blue House in Seoul, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) to the north, saying they wanted to voice their complaints to President Park Geun-hye. They walked for about six hours before police officers in neon jackets blocked a main road. “The government is the killer,” they shouted as they pushed against a police barricade. Families on Sunday also blocked the prime minister’s car and cursed at and pushed the fisheries minister. “We want an answer from the person in charge about why orders are not going through and nothing is being done,” said Lee Woon-geun, father of 17-year-old missing passenger Lee Jungin. “They are clearly lying and kicking the responsibility to others.” He said relatives are desperate to retrieve bodies before they decompose beyond recognition. “After four or five days, the body starts to decay. When it’s decayed, if you try to hold a hand, it might fall off,” he said. “I miss my son. I’m really afraid I might not get to find his body.” The Sewol’s captain, Lee Joon-seok, 68, was arrested Saturday, along with one of the ship’s three helmsmen and the 25-year-old third mate. The third mate was steering at the time of the accident, in a challenging area where she had not steered before, and the captain said he was not on the bridge at the time. Senior prosecutor Yang Jung-jin said the third mate has refused to tell investigators why she made the sharp turn. Prosecutors have not named the third mate, but a fellow crew member identified her as Park Han-kyul. As he was taken from court in Mokpo on Saturday, the captain explained his decision to wait before ordering an evacuation. “At the time, the current was very strong, the temperature of the ocean water was cold,” Lee told reporters, describing his fear that passengers, even if they were wearing life jackets, could drift away “and face many other difficulties.” He said rescue boats had not yet arrived, and there were no civilian vessels nearby.

t seems like almost everyone is very interested in sex. Advertisers know that sex sells things. Let’s face it, sex is fun! Consequently many people, especially on college campuses, treat sex as a recreational sport, to be enjoyed with anyone at anytime. After all, how could something that much fun ever be wrong? However, plausible as such a view might sound, it is drastically wrong. God gave sex as a gift to be enjoyed. God is not a kill-joy. He has been and is very good to His creatures. The Song of Solomon is partly an erotic love story. Here is the catch, however. The only sexual activity that is legitimate is that between a man and woman who are married. Those who have disciplined themselves and waited until marriage have always been profoundly glad they did so. Love will wait; lust demands immediate gratification. While God has given the gift of sex to be enjoyed by married couples, He is very displeased with those who engage in sex outside of marriage. In fact, He has told us in Hebrews 13:4, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” I want to encourage the readers to please wait. God has made us. He knows what is best for us. Don’t listen to your hormones; listen to God!

Lady Tigers fall in semis at American tourney By Hunter Field

sports@dailyhelmsman.com The University of Memphis women’s team has to play the waiting game after losing in the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. The No. 39 Tigers failed to secure an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, and they currently sit right on the bubble of teams who may or may not receive an at-large bid. Memphis head coach Lee Taylor Walker is hopeful his team will be selected. “I think we’ll be a legit bubble team,” he said. “We’ll either be the last team in or the first out. It’s going to come down to wire, and we’re going to be sweating it.” Over the weekend, the No. 41 University of South Florida, who hosted the tournament, eliminated the Tigers (14-9) in Tampa, Fla., Memphis’ semifinal loss came on the heels of a victory in the first round over the University of Central Florida. The third-seeded Tigers went down early in their match against USF. They dug a hole for themselves in both singles and doubles, going down 3-0. However, the Tigers roared back on the racquets of freshmen Anki Wind and Marta Morga. The duo of freshman recorded back-to-back wins at No. 4 and No. 5 singles. Morga scored a win in straight sets at No. 4 singles. Wind did the same at No. 5, moving to a team-high 25 singles

pointed in the results, but they competed hard,” the seventh-year coach said. “USF played well and were on their home court. It’s not like we played terrible.” Both of the U of M’s wins came from freshmen, but Walker wasn’t surprised to see them perform at a high level. “They’ve been solid all year,” he said of Wind and Morga. “We’re really young, so we should be pretty good with them the next few years.” The one area Walker wants his team to improve is doubles. The Bulls took the doubles point from Memphis over the weekend, and Walker said it could’ve changed the whole match had the Tigers won on the doubles court. Memphis, currently ranked 39th in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, will likely fall a few spots in Tuesday afternoon’s poll, according to Walker. He said the selection committee usually cuts off the at-large bids near the 42nd and 43rd ranked teams. “I feel a lot better than two years ago when we were ranked around 50,” he said. The Tigers missed the tournament two years ago, but they were ranked much lower than this time around. The NCAA Selection Show will be held on April 29, and Memphis will be anxiously waiting. “We’ll be doing some serious scoreboard watching,” Walker said. Walker said it all comes down to how successful the teams that have played the Tigers this season are the rest of the year. “We’ll be ecstatic if we make it in, and we’ll practice our tails off,” Walker said. “If not, it will give our younger players some good motivation to get back there next year.”

Men’s tennis falters in American championship match By Corey Carmichael

sports@dailyhelmsman.com The University of Memphis men’s tennis team ditched the traditional pastel colors for the Blue and Gray on Easter Sunday and suited up to play in the inaugural American Athletic Conference Tournament Championship match. In a thrilling contest that came down to the final singles game, the Tigers lost to the University of South Florida 4-3. The championship was a meeting between the top-two seeded teams in the tournament, who have plenty of history playing each other, including the Tigers’ win over the Bulls the week before on April 13 at the Racquet Club of Memphis. Head coach Paul Goebel spoke highly of the Tigers’ opponent after the match. “Give South Florida a lot of credit, they are well coached and Matt Hill has done a great job, and they came out fighting,” Goebel said. “It was tough, playing them a week ago on the same courts. To beat somebody, when it was so close the first time, two times in a row it was just a little too much for us today.” Both teams gained momentum in the tournament with lopsided wins leading up to the final. USF shut out the University of Connecticut 4-0 in their match Friday, followed by a 4-1

In the final match, Salisbury won his first set 6-4, but the senior dropped the next two sets to Oliver Pramming as the Bulls earned the AAC conference title and the automatic NCAA bid that comes with it. “We are still a team to be reckoned with,” Goebel said. “We will take a couple of days off and get back to some serious conditioning and then back to practice. We look forward to the selection show and see where we go. We hope to follow up our run that we had last year and try to repeat that and maybe do better.”
