UM staff mourns ‘valued colleague’ UM shuttle bus
University College employee murdered Saturday; son charged BY CHELSEA BOOZER Managing Editor
Elaine Walsh Several administrators, faculty, staff and students are mourning the death of The University of Memphis employee who was allegedly murdered by her son Saturday. Elaine Walsh, a 55-year-old business officer at the University College, was cut on her face and head several times by her 22-year-old son, William Walsh,
and how dedicated she was to our students, faculty and staff,” Raines wrote. “She is already missed and mourned by many of us.” Raines said the death of a “valued colleague is always hard, but such a tragic loss is even more difficult to understand.” The loss of Walsh has been difficult on University College staff, according to Lattimore who said Elaine was one of the “most outstanding employees” he’d ever worked with. Elaine was a member of the Staff Senate in 2006. “When I interviewed Elaine for the job more than eight years ago,” Lattimore said, “I found out she had been Mason Granger’s executive assistant. I knew she would be excellent, and she was. Mason Granger was the top anchor in Memphis WMC-TV for many years.” Elaine’s son, William, was arrested by Memphis police on a first-degree murder charge and remains in jail without bond.
at their East Memphis home early Saturday morning, according to a police affidavit. Though her title was business manager, University College Dean Dan Lattimore said she was much more an administrative assistant and relied upon at the College. He awarded her with special recognition for services to the department at an awards banquet last year. “She ran the University College office, she wrote scripts, worked with faculty and staff, and kept me on task as dean,” Lattimore said. “Her organizational skills and enthusiastic personality were exceptional. We will all miss her dearly.” U of M President Shirley Raines sent an email Sunday morning to all faculty and staff telling them counselors would be sent to the College on Monday morning. “Those of us who knew and worked with Elaine know what a warm, giving person she was,
After an initial appearance in court on Monday, he awaits a court date set for May 14. Elaine’s husband, John Walsh, told homicide squad officers that at about 1 a.m. Saturday he went to bed and Elaine stayed awake to speak with William for a few more minutes about noise he was making in the home. John said that around 5:30 or 6 a.m., William came into John’s bedroom and said he had done “something terrible” and had “killed someone.” Police say John went into the living room with his son and found Elaine dead on the sofa with multiple lacerations to her head and face. Raines issued a statement Saturday regarding the death. “The University extends its sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers of Elaine Walsh. She was a valued employee for eight years. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy,” Raines said.
Pyramid’s Ramesses statue delivered to campus
by Nathanael Packard
BY CHRISTINA HOLLOWAY ancient city of Memphis, Egypt. In the 1980s, it was then News Reporter
Construction workers set up Ramesses the Great at the front of The University campus. Ramesses made the long journey from The Pyramid downtown and was welcomed by news crews and photographers.
The statue of Ramesses the Great, which stood tall in front of the Pyramid for 13 years, is now greeting students on The University of Memphis campus. The statue, a replica of the Ramesses the Great statue from Egypt, was placed on the edge of campus facing the Central parking lot Monday. Students took pictures of the statue as they walked past, and drivers took advantage of red lights, as they got a quick look of the new addition on campus. The history of Ramesses goes back to the 19th dynasty of the 20th century, where he reigned from 1279-1213 B.C. He was the first person in the world to sign a peace treaty with his enemies, known as the Hittites. The statue wasn’t originally built for Ramesses, but for King Cesostris, who ruled 100 years prior to Ramesses’ time. Ramesses then had some work done to it, changing the appearance and making the statue his own. In Ancient Egypt, this method of remodeling statues wasn’t looked down upon. The statue was later found lying in fragments behind an open-air museum in the
brought to Memphis, when the city offered to repair it. The Egyptian government allowed the city to make a replica. In 1991, the 25-foot-tall, 5,000-pound statue was erected in front of the Pyramid before it’s grand opening. According to Lorelei Corcoran, director of the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archeology, the remodeling of the statues showed the “spirit of kings would be passed down from one king to the next.” The Institute played a significant role in the process of bringing the statue over, due to them being the source for the historical data of the statue. “It will certainly be a focal point for our program on campus,” Corcoran said. “It’s a way to celebrate our connection to our namesakes in ancient Egypt.” In addition to the statue, the artwork of the entrance to the Memphis Zoo and the Pyramid are also pieces of Egypt in the city. Jay Hines, junior anthropology major, “fell in love with” Egyptology in her sixth grade history class. She said it is a great addition to the campus,

Ramesses, page 4
to be unveiled in ceremony today BY SARA HARRISON News Reporter The University of Memphis students no longer have to worry about being late for class due to insufficient means of transportation. Today the U of M will unveil its first ever shuttle bus, The Blue Line, at a ceremony in front of the Hudson Health Center at 9:30 a.m. to give students a sneak peak of the bus before the semester is over. “Due to the growth in enrollment, the pedestrian nature of the main campus and costs and time necessary to provide additional parking facilities such as a parking garage, it was determined that this is the appropriate time to provide a means of transportation to assist in moving people around campus,” said Angela Floyd, director of parking and transportation services. The Blue Line will begin operating in May. In addition to moving people around the main campus, the shuttle bus will also run to and from the Park Avenue campus. The campus community can use the service free of charge. The bus will run from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays and from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. The shuttle will not run on the weekends. The bus will run a course of 3.9 miles on main campus with 16 stops including the Central parking lot, the library and Wilder Tower. The route to the Park Avenue campus is 5.5 miles and contains nine stops including the softball field and the community music building. Tyler DeWitt, president of the Student Government Association, said the shuttle might help solve the reoccurring parking shortage experienced most years on campus. “Hopefully this will alleviate frustration over parking,” DeWitt said. “This shuttle bus will enhance the U of M community — something that has been missing for a while. I think that this is going to be a successful program.” The name “The Blue Line” was chosen by the marketing and communication department from a poll submitted by 1,590 students who chose between the names: The Blue Line, TigerTran and TigerRide. The shuttle is contracted

Campus Life
Student Students share study tips paints for poverty BY ERICA HORTON News Reporter
For any normal exam, Brittney Williams begins to prep for a night of studying at about 9:30 p.m. She lays out her books and assignments right before checking Facebook and her email. Then with a feast varying between strawberries, bananas, Doritos and Dr. Pepper, the allnighter begins. “I answer the first problem or begin writing the first paragraph to whatever assignment,” said Williams, junior film major. “Then, I open a music playlist, return to whatever assignment I have and try my hardest to focus until I finish with bits of Facebook thrown in there.” Williams finishes her routine about 1 a.m. normally, but for finals week, she’ll make an exception and start her jostle of studying and procrastination about two hours earlier. With two more days of classes and an official study day, final exams begin Friday and last through May 3. Barbara Bekis, coordinator of the Educational Support Program, said students have just one more week to love their courses before new ones begin in the fall. Students should keep in mind while they’re studying that professors are not going to make exams about what they memorized the night before, but what they learned throughout the entire semester, Bekis said. “You can’t learn the whole semester in one week,” she said. One of the first steps U of M students should take for finals, according to Bekis, is to confirm their exam time and place. “You would be surprised how many students don’t know where their exams are,” she said. “They should also be sure to rest and wake up at least two to three hours before the exam so they’re not rushing out in pajama pants.”
Another key to success, she said, is for students to believe that they can pass their exams after they have properly prepared. “Try studying uninterrupted for the length of time that your exam is, find out what type of exam it is — multiple choice or essay — and study accordingly, “ she said. “I recommend if an empty classroom is available, that students go study and do work on the board. It’s a great benefit.” Sean Levstek, staff psychologist recommended doing stressrelieving activities before exams and between studying. “What’s most important is being able to recognize what relaxes you,” he said. “Sometimes it’s yoga, breathing exercises or self soothing. Taking a hot bath, play video games, try aromatherapy.” Levstek said people who are the most stressed tend not to be able to relax. “Maybe they go out with friends but spend a lot of that time worrying about their school work,” he said. “They feel guilty about being out instead of studying.” Tamara Felix, junior criminology major, said since her car has mechanical problems she’s forced to stay home and study. “Since I don’t have cable, I listen to the radio and accidentally study,” she said. But, with finals around the corner, Felix said she plans to use the Educational Support Program learning labs more often—open through Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.— leading up to her exams and using extra time between classes to go to the library. “The biggest mistake I ever made was underestimating an exam and not studying as much as I should,” she said. “The tests throughout the semester were really easy, but the exam for that particular class was hard.”

BY CRYSTAL FERRARI News Reporter With acrylic paints and makeup, Marissa Croft hopes to encourage confidence and beautiful thoughts for the women of homeless shelters in Memphis. Croft, junior public relations major, picked up a paintbrush and started painting canvases of trees last summer. Fifteen canvases lined the walls of her parent’s bedroom when Croft’s sister suggested she sell them. When Croft enrolled in Professor Carrie Brown’s social media class, Arbour Beauty was born. The project’s goal is to paint canvases of trees, sell them for $25 to $75 and use the proceeds to buy makeup, which she will give to homeless women who come from abusive backgrounds. “I started a blog halfway through the semester. Trees are always different, unique and continuously growing. They really show what I want to try to portray through Arbour Beauty, and what I try to apply to my own life,” Croft said. The blog, arbourbeauty. blogspot.com, is one tool that Croft hopes to use to further her cause. Using social media such as blogging, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Etsy, she is getting the word out about her project. “To have a successful blog you have to be passionate about your subject,” Brown said. “It’s clear this is something she cares about. She went beyond the basic requirements for the class.” Croft has yet to be able to buy makeup and visit the shelter, as the idea for Arbour Beauty blossomed a month ago. She admits she’s always been into art, but doesn’t see herself as a professional. She paints whatever comes to mind, and uses whatever paints she can get her hands on. Her paintings are usually non-realistic, and occasionally she likes to add a fabric flower or two to the canvas. “I’ve always been the artsy-fartsy kid,” Croft said. “When I was little, my parents tried to send me to art camps. I was always the kid who would go to Hobby Lobby with my mom for no reason.” She plans to visit Memphis Family Shelter first, but said she would like to branch out to other shelters in Memphis that benefit women as well.

What do you think of the new Ramesses statue? by Nathanel Packard
“It’s not bad but seems out of place.”
“He is a little out of place, but I appreciate it.”
“Ramesses is a symbol of how we stand high as scholars.”
“It ties in with the whole Egypt theme of Memphis.”

“It will give the students a sense of pride about their school.” Rosie Bingham, vice president of student affairs, said that the Egyptology program is one
of the highest in the country, and many students don’t realize it. “It’s a great monument because it will call attention to the program,” she said

A Weekly Devotional For You Ideas Have Consequences-2 Last week we explored the fact that what we believe affects how we act. People ultimately adopt a life style which is consistent with their world view. Let’s examine this idea a bit. Do you believe there is a God? If you do, do you believe you are accountable to Him for your actions? Do you believe you will face Him at the end of your life as you go into eternity? Do you really know who He is? Have you constructed an idea of who God is from what you wish He were like? These are very important questions to consider. If you are a consistent Bible-believer, your morals will be dictated by the warp and woof of that inspired book. You will not regard sex as a recreational activity, but as a gift of God given to a married man and woman. Abortion will not be merely a political issue; it will be seen as a violation of the 7th commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” In business honesty and integrity will be your code of conduct. How you use your time, how you spend your money, what forms of entertainment you engage in, the language you use, will all be influenced by your belief system. Don’t you think this would be a good time to do a little “inventory” and see what you really believe?

“I really like what Memphis Family Shelter does. They take in women and their children who have been led to homelessness because of abusive relationships, and help the women find a job and recuperate,” Croft said. Croft said she buys all of her makeup from Target, and also plans to buy beauty products such as face wash and moisturizer for the women who don’t like to wear makeup. Croft’s roommate and junior film and video production major, Shelby Wilson, filmed a start-up video promoting the project. “When she first told me about her idea, I was really impressed by it. Students are always short on money, and she could’ve easily pocketed the money to put towards rent or groceries,” Wilson said. “She has a huge heart for this. For as long as I’ve known Marissa, she’s been extremely passionate about nonprofits.”

Floyd said she, like DeWitt, hopes the shuttle will help diminish the number of those who drive cars to campus and are in need of parking spots. “Over time we hope that increased interest in carpooling, bicycling and public transportation will eventually reduce the amount of cars on campus needed on campus,” Floyd said. DeWitt said he hopes that over time the shuttle will expand its route to include sports games and community events. “We are a large campus with a big student body just catching up with the times,” he said.

Football
Q & A with Fuente BY BRYAN HEATER Sports Reporter On December 8, 2011, The University of Memphis introduced Justin Fuente, is the 23rd head coach in the history of Tiger football. A former co-offensive coordinator at Texas Christian University, Fuente came to Memphis to lead the Tigers to the Promised Land. A renowned “football guy,” Fuente plans to leave the losing ways that many have become accustomed to recently in the dust. But, aside from him being Memphis’ head football coach, who exactly is Justin Fuente and what is he bringing to the program? Daily Helmsman: How has your transition for you and your family been to Memphis? Justin Fuente: Well, it has been great so far. We are fortunate that our girls are so young that they don’t know if we are in Memphis, Chicago or Dallas because they are just four and six months old, so it has been easy on them. We sold our house and got moved here quickly, so it has been a very smooth transition. DH: What do you like to do outside of football? JF: I enjoy spending time with my family, but the two things I enjoy selfishly are I love to play golf and fish. That’s two things I’ve done basically all my life and I’m not great at either one of them, but I really enjoy them and try to find a way to incorporate those into family time. DH: Memphis is world famous for its barbeque. Have you had a chance to try it? JF: You have to remember I was here for two months without my wife, so every night I ate out. I gained a lot of weight and ate a lot of good barbeque. I’m a pork ribs guy so I’ve really enjoyed the best Memphis has to offer. DH: You are quite a fireball on the practice field. What do you feel like your intensity brings to the team? JF: There’s a level of expectation that we have to work with and a level of practice and preparation intensity you have to have in this game. I’m not like that all the time because I’d drive everyone crazy if I was, but that’s the level we have to bring to play and the only way to do that is to practice like that, too. DH: Where did your football roots start? JF: I always enjoyed football growing up, but I played basketball and baseball too. My love for football didn’t take off until my 10th grade year. Bill Blankenship, who is now the head coach at Tulsa, was my high school coach and I was his first quarterback and he really taught me how to conduct myself and how to play the position. Dick Winder fostered my love for the game at Oklahoma and he was the complete opposite of Bill. Fiery,
mean and crusty, and I think the mixture of those two is what really brought out my love for the game. DH: What do you feel is the best selling point for recruits? JF: There are a lot of things we can sell here. We have a city that has a lot of culture and a lot of things to do, and you have a chance to be part of a program that’s going to build something special. The University and community are ready to support Memphis football financially and emotionally. DH: How important do you think it is to keep local players
here? JF: I think it’s important to keep the right ones here. We’re not going to recruit every single kid in Memphis because not all of them fit our system. I want to bring the right kind of kids on this campus to set an example for The University and community on how we are going to do business. Recruiting in your own backyard is important, but we have to be selective too. DH: What are the biggest obstacles keeping the program from competing for championships? JF: Obviously, it’s the level of expectations for our kids. They
have to raise their level of expectations, work ethic, and accountability. Addressing the culture of the team is the biggest thing. There are a lot of external factors, but we have to focus on us first. DH: What are the biggest challenges facing the team heading into the Big East? JF: We have a whole season to play before we worry about that. We have a lot of challenges and I don’t know if any are specific to the Big East. For us, we are emphasizing work ethic, accountability, and discipline. We have strides we have to make in the weight room. If we take care
of those we’ll be OK regardless of the league. DH: To all students and citizens who have no clue who you are, what would you tell them? JF: I would say I am your football coach and I take that charge very seriously. I am proud to be here and excited to build this program for the community and University the right way. I have the support of the Athletic Department and The University to build this thing the right way and I’m excited for everyone. DH: Is there anything else you would like to add? JF: Go Tigers.

Errors prove costly as Southern Miss sweeps the Tigers BY SCOTT HALL Sports Editor
The University of Memphis struggled with errors and mistakes against Southern Miss over the weekend, finally being
swept with a 2-1 loss on Sunday. The Tigers fell just short in their first game on Friday, trying unsuccessfully to mount a ninth-inning rally. The Tigers went into the inning down 2-0, courtesy of a Southern Miss
triple and single that allowed two runs to score in the fourth. T.J. Rich struck out with the bases loaded, but a wild pitch to Derrick Thomas allowed the Tigers to plate a run. The Golden Eagles escaped with the

win after closer Bradley Roney struck Thomas out to end the game. Two Southern Miss runs were enough again on Saturday, as they shut out the Tigers, 2-0 in game two. Two singles and a stolen base in the second inning put runners in scoring position for the Golden Eagles in the second inning, and a wild pitch allowed the first runner to score. An infield single with two outs allowed the second run to score. The Tigers had a chance to salvage a game in the series finale on Sunday, but a throwing error by Memphis reliever Jonathan Van Eaton led to Southern Miss’ goahead run in the eighth inning, and the

Tigers fell 2-1. Memphis took its first lead of the series in the second. Ethan Gross hit a single to left field to bring in Tucker Tubbs. The run ended a 19-inning stretch in which the Tigers did not record an RBI. The Tigers held their onerun advantage until the seventh inning, when a sacrifice fly by Kameron Brunty tied the game at 1-1. An inning later, with the defense getting set for a bunt, Van Eaton attempted a pick off at first base, which was uncovered. The error allowed a runner to advance to third base, scoring soon after on a single. Memphis had a chance to rally once again, but a strikeout ended the game with runners on the corners. With the sweep, the Tigers fell to 17-23 (6-9 C-USA) on the season, and will face Ole Miss in the annual game at AutoZone Park tonight at 6:30 p.m.

The Daily Helmsman!
The University of Memphis men’s tennis team saw their season come to an end with a 4-0 defeat to top-seed Tulsa in the Conference USA tournament final on Monday. The No. 33 Tigers advanced to the final after a 4-0, rain-shortened victory over Southern Miss on Saturday, then a 4-1 win over Rice on Sunday. Four matches in Monday’s final were left unfinished as the Golden Hurricane clinched the four points needed to pick up the win with three singles matches and the doubles point. Japie De Klerk and Alejandro Espejo combined to defeat Leon Nasemann and Johnny Grimal 8-4 to begin the day, followed by David O’Hare and Joe Salisbury’s 9-7 defeat to Clifford Marsland and Ashley Watling. The third match between Connor Glennon and David Henry against Grant Ive and Tristan Jackson was left unfinished at 8-8 (6-6). In singles play, Jackson defeated David O’Leary 6-2, 6-4, Marsland beat Grimal 6-4, 7-5, and Ive defeated Glennon 6-2, 6-4. The remaining three matches were called off after Tulsa secured their second consecutive title. The Tigers finished the season with a 19-5 record, and will have to wait to see if they earned a spot in the NCAA tournament.
