Hiring practices will come under scrutiny
By Joshua Cannon
news@dailyhelmsman.com Because of a $20 million financial gap in the University of Memphis’ budget, interim president R. Brad Martin has instituted a new hiring procedure for all vacant positions for faculty, staff, part-time instructors and temporary appointments. Faculty and staff of the U of M received an email Tuesday informing them of the change in hiring
practices and some of the reasons why it’s being implemented. In the email, Martin said the current funding gap is “the result of a shift to the outcomes — based formula coupled with reduced state support, growing mandatory costs and enrollment declines.” The vacant positions will be subject to a hiring review process that will determine whether “to move forward with filling positions based on the implication for
enrollment growth, productivity and overall institutional efficiency.” Some of the vacant positions will be filled, but many will be eliminated or combined. According to Jeanne Roe, assistant director of employee benefits, the change doesn’t necessarily mean downsizing — it means enacting a stricter hiring process. “Any department in the process of hiring must have the department head justify why it needs
to be filled, and then it must go before a review committee,” Roe said. According to Roe, the University is being cautious when filling positions to ensure that the jobs are essential and will benefit students. Betty Huff, vice provost of enrollment services, said that with the way the University is structured, it’s a matter of doing “more with less, or the same with less.”
The change in hiring procedures isn’t just a way to kill jobs but a way to help the University operate more efficiently – and better assist the students’ needs, she said. “We’re committed to not doing anything less,” Huff said. “The commitment is not to diminish service to students.” Consolidating jobs may sound

Russia chemical arms plan upends Syria showdown By Brian Murphy Associated Press
A Russian-brokered proposal to place Syria’s chemical arsenal under international control for eventual destruction would resonate far beyond Damascus and highlight the stakes at play among Assad’s friends, foes and nervous bystanders struggling with the complexities of Syria’s civil war. A look at the possible winners and losers under Moscow’s 11th hour plan:
ASSAD’S ALLIES Syria’s main backers Iran and Russia have strongly opposed Western military retaliation over a suspected sarin gas attack on Aug. 21 — questioning the West’s contention that Assad’s forces were to blame instead of rebels, and warning of an even wider conflict in the Middle East. Both countries would certainly emerge claiming victory in the latest brinksmanship. For Moscow, it means recognition of its role as an international mediator that can do more than
just try to block Western initiatives at the U.N. Security Council. It also drives home the importance of Russian participation in any future efforts to negotiate an end to Syria’s civil war, which has claimed more than 100,000 lives. Syria remains Russia’s main foothold in the Middle East and an important Mediterranean port. Russian President Vladimir Putin repeatedly stressed that his nation is an essential player in the Syrian crisis and can — if its interests demand — work with the U.S. and others on potential solutions. U.S. President Barack Obama said the Russian proposal had been raised during his 20-minute meeting with Putin on the sidelines of last week’s G-20 summit in St. Petersburg. Iran has even more on the line. It depends on Syria as its linchpin Arab world partner and a pathway to Iran’s proxy militia, Hezbollah in Lebanon. Anything that could weaken Assad’s hold on power is seen with deep unease in Tehran. But while the Islamic Republic often trumpets its loyalty to Assad, it has gradually put forth the idea that the leader is expendable but his power structure is not. Iran has proposed peace initiatives — rejected by rebels — that would allow elections that could oust Assad but leave intact key elements of his Iran-friendly rule. Iran’s quandary over Assad has been compounded by the alleged government-backed chemical attack. Iranian troops suffered chemical clouds during the 198088 war with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and the deaths and suffering of veterans is a centerpiece of Iran’s commemorations of the conflict. SYRIA Assad’s choices bring together survival and surrender.
The Russian plan would allow the Syrian leader to avoid the damage that U.S.-led strikes, no matter how narrow and limited, would certainly inflict on a Syrian military already stretched thin and under tremendous strain from a more than two-year civil war. It also would block a possible stepped up rebel offensive linked to any Western military action. Yet Assad would be forced to relinquish his chemical arms stocks and open the door to possible deeper international probes into the extent of his wider arsenal as inspectors look for chemical stores. The Syrian opposition accuses the regime of using such weapons on several occasions, but the casualties from such purported attacks have been a mere fraction of the total death toll in the conflict. Some critics have called Assad’s quick support of the Russian plan a potential stalling tactic, allowing him to quell Western debate over military action while drawing out the process of actually turning over the chemical stocks. In any case, Assad has benefited in the past from unexpected directions, including al-Qaida inspired militants joining the rebellion and raising concern in the West about whether extremist forces could gain ground if Assad was toppled. WASHINGTON AND ALLIES Obama led the calls for military action in partnership with European allies, but also with the knowledge that support was weak at home for another U.S. strike in the Middle East. The Russian plan provides Washington with something of a dignified retreat. Obama can claim that the threat of American-led

uuRussia Continued from page 3 attacks had a double effect: Forcing Assad to promise to give up his chemical weapons and admit to the world he possessed such an arsenal. The White House also can say its muscle prompted Russia into quick action to move its plan beyond just words. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday that his country was working out the details with Syria. Russia would then finalize the plan with U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The diplomatic energy allows Obama to shift his message to Congress. Instead of trying to sell a military strike that has limited public support, he can let the current initiatives move ahead and possibly avoid a political collision course. Sixty-one percent of Americans want Congress to vote against authorization of military strikes in Syria, according to an Associated Press poll. The poll, taken Sept. 6-8, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. Since the Russian proposal emerged earlier this week, Obama has been in near constant contact with French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron, who also would be handed the equivalent of a political escape clause after being deeply embarrassed last month when parliament rejected his call to back the possible military strikes. REBELS AND THEIR BACKERS On its surface, the deal was aimed at providing protection for the opposition by preventing chemical attacks against them. But rebel factions are left potentially disappointed that, after more than two years, the West would not commit to even limited military strikes against Assad. The main opposition group had been hoping the chemical weapons allegations would prove a tipping point to provoke military strikes from abroad that would shift the balance in the war of attrition between rebels and Assad’s forces.
Solutions
www.dailyhelmsman.com
The Syrian National Coalition has dismissed the Assad government’s turnaround as a maneuver to escape punishment for a crime against humanity. The Russian plan will likely force the rebels to increasingly look to key backers in the Western-backed Persian Gulf states, led by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as their most reliable and predictable backers. Delaying or calling off potential military strikes is also likely to be met with disapproval by Washington’s Arab allies in the Gulf, which have been funneling money and arms shipments to the rebels. ISRAEL Though Israel was among those most supportive of a military strike on Syria — and some Israeli politicians have already voiced skepticism about the effectiveness of Russia’s proposal — Israel appeared generally pleased with the emerging deal. The government hasn’t commented publicly, but officials speak-
ing anonymously to Israeli media said Syria’s agreement to give up its chemical weapons is a direct result of the American threat and sends a strong message to Iran — that only a credible military option can truly deter. Israel hopes that just as Syria folded when faced with military might, so will Iran and ultimately abandon its nuclear program. David Shain, an expert in international relations who specializes in Iran, wrote Tuesday in the Maariv daily that for Israel the main upside is that Assad’s chemical weapons will no longer be able to threaten it. “The only ones who won’t be happy about accepting the Russian proposal are the citizens of Syria,” he wrote. “It’s clear to everyone that accepting the proposal will mean more of the brutal Syrian civil war.” Israel’s Justice Minister Tzipi Livni neither welcomed nor rejected the Russian proposal, but said that the threat of force should remain on the table no matter what becomes of Syria’s weapons arsenal.

Sleep deprivation not worth it, expert says By Paula K. Peyton
news@dailyhelmsman.com When Aasie Bowen, sophomore biology major, began classes at the University of Memphis last fall, she felt a lot of pressure. She started pulling all-nighters to study. “I got my sleep schedule really messed up,” Bowen, 19, said. “I think the stress started it.” Charles Blaha, director of the Division of Experimental Psychology at the U of M, said that losing an hour of sleep a night is enough to ruin your rest cycles. “With a loss of about two to three days of sleep, people experience quite a few things, mainly distorted perceptions and irritability,” he said. Blaha said studies have shown that people perform well at physical tasks, but the “tasks that are simple and boring” are impacted the most. When trying to concentrate on something mundane, people tend to fall into microsleeps, which are periods of sleep lasting only a few seconds. Blaha said when someone dozes off during a microsleep he or she can wake up seconds later and never realize that it happened. Bowen said eventually she couldn’t seem to sleep at all. “It was really horrible. I was tired all the time, and I couldn’t concentrate. I was really irritable. My grades started suffering,” she said. “I started having to take overthe-counter medicines for it.”
After Bowen started taking medication, she was able to start sleeping again and was able to pull her grades back up. For six months, Bowen had a nightly pill regimen that included over-the-counter drugs such as Advil and Tylenol PM. “Finally over summer, I was able to fix it where I wasn’t staying up all night,” she said. “I finally adjusted.” Blaha said studies have shown that the day after daylight-savings time, traffic accidents jump 12 percent as a result of people losing sleep the night before. “In the fall when we go off daylight-savings time, the opposite is true. It’s about 10 percent lower the next day,” he said. Eric Pugh, junior exercise and sports science major, has experienced microsleeps in his car while stopped at red lights. “I’m always up studying and all that. So by the time I’m done, it’s like 2 a.m. in the morning, and then it takes me a while to go to sleep,” he said. “I probably get an hour or two of sleep, and this semester, I have an 8 o’clock class.” Pugh, 21, transferred to the U of M from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and said moving back home has made his sleep deprivation problem worse. “At Knox, I wasn’t driving, and I stayed on campus, so it wasn’t anything for me to go take a quick nap in my room,” he said. “Here I can’t really do that, because I’m not fixing to drive back to Raleigh.” Blaha said people sleep in stag-

Students who stay up late studying tend to have a hard time concentrating and carrying out simple tasks. es labeled one through four, and experience the rapid eye movement stage, known as REM, after going through all four stages twice. “Sleep is really stages three and four and the REM cycle,” he said. During those stages, Blaha said your brain goes through repeated periods of memory consolidation, and it strengthens the information
encountered throughout the day. Pugh said he’s usually “up for days studying for a test,” and it makes him feel “extremely tired and irritable.” “After the test is over, I can’t go to sleep,” he said. “There were a few times when I took a test, and I could see all the right answers, but I was so sleepy that I couldn’t
focus.” Blaha said this is typical. When students stay up all night studying, they usually can’t absorb as much information in class and perform badly on tests. When it comes to students exchanging sleep for more study time, “It’s counterproductive,” Blaha said.

uuDorm Continued from page 1 the Student Government Association, said the dorm will be a “monumental structure.” “Visitors and students who drive west down Central Avenue, the first building they will see is this new residence hall,” Kirby said. “Students, faculty and residents have been sought in their input, for the design of this new building.” Daynica Harley, president of the Residence Hall Council, said the new residence hall would be the second dorm on campus to follow the state’s sustainable design guidelines. “Our new home will meet Tennessee Sustainable Design Guidelines, so that future generations of students will impact the community and university, and not the environment.” The Tennessee Sustainable Design Guidelines require that all new buildings and major renovations abide by these guidelines, which means that the materials used in the buildings will be environmentally friendly, including recycled content and non-toxic products. Susan Elliott, director of special events at the U of M and a former resident of Richardson Towers, is also excited about the new dorm. “I lived in Richardson Towers in 1986 and 1987, and, while I enjoyed it, the new design will be better for the environment, for today’s student.” Elliott said. Calvin Strong, director of custodian landscapes, also shares similar views about the new residence hall. “I think it’s a much needed facility and enhances the University,” Strong said. Strong also said how much he enjoyed his time living at Richardson Towers. “ The thing that made Richardson Towers what it is, is that it helped make camaraderie amongst the people,” Strong said. “Although, I do think the new residence hall will keep that camaraderie.”

Freshmen soccer players recognized by conference By Corey Carmichael
sports@dailyhelmsman.com The University of Memphis men’s soccer team won both of their games this weekend at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex and picked up the program’s 300th alltime win. On Monday, the American Athletic Conference recognized three Tiger freshmen with conference honors. Jordan Klipsch was named the American Conference Rookie of the Week, while Hunter Danna and Spencer Moeller were two of five league players named to the Conference Honor Roll. Men’s soccer head coach Richie Grant said it was impressive the conference
recognized these Tigers. “Connecticut is number one in the nation. The league is strong,” he said. “It is easy to see in the stat sheet the freshmen have had a big impact. It gives great confidence to our young players to see someone come in like that and contribute, but it does not surprise me one bit the way they’ve worked so hard.” Last Friday night, the Tigers beat the University of MissouriKansas City and took down Oral Roberts University Sunday afternoon to notch the program’s 300th win. “It is great, because it is not one individual or a coach, it is for the team,” Grant said. “All the boys since the program started in 1982
can share in this achievement.” Both games were within one goal apiece, and all three Tiger goals were scored by freshmen. Memphis beat UMKC when defender Klipsch netted his first career goal in his first start off a corner kick opportunity in the 60th minute. Tiger sophomore Simon Estornel launched the kick into the box, before Spencer Moeller headed the ball toward Klipsch to set up the easy header for the finish. That was the only goal scored in the match, and Memphis shut out the Kangaroos. “When we lost Chandler (Gagnon) due to suspension for his red card, Jordan got the start
on Friday and scored the game winner,” Grant said. During Sunday’s match against Oral Roberts, the visiting Golden Eagles scored first in the 68th minute. Substitute midfielder, Danna, responded for the Tigers in the 86th minute to even the score by squeezing the ball towards the right post out of the goalkeeper’s reach. Less than three minutes later, the freshman netted his second goal and the game-winner off a corner kick set by kicking the ball backwards towards the goal. Senior Liam Collins sent the ball towards the far side of the box, and senior Mark Sherrod headed the ball closer into
the box to give Danna the opportunity to score. The Tigers currently have a 3-1 non-conference record and head to Birmingham, Ala. this weekend to take part in the UAB Soccer For A Cure Classic.
A bird’s eye view of football COMING SOON TO RAWLINS SERVICE COURT, #201
By Meagan Nichols
sports@dailyhelmsman.com In the wake of the University of Memphis football team’s season opening loss to Duke this past Saturday, a Nichols plethora of stats and figures and postgame analyses surfaced quicker than the ink could dry on the letter “L” in the record books. I received enough handouts, stat sheets and booklets in the press box Saturday to serve each of you reading this a pretty lethal dose of sudden exhaustion, but I will refrain. Instead I want to focus only on one number recorded Saturday — 44, 237. That is the number of fans who left the confines of their air-conditioned homes to brave the scalding Memphis heat. At capacity, the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium can house 61,000 people. At last season’s first home game against UT-Martin, attendance hit the 39,076 mark. To those of you who comprised Saturday’s number, it might have been difficult to fully appreciate the scope of this figure, but as a first time press box attendee peering out of the second floor window, I was provided a unique perspective. I witnessed those 61,000 empty seats become engulfed by a sea of Tiger blue and gray. After watching this transformation this is my brief, unscientific and completely biased synopsis of the game — we lost. Bad calls were made. It was hot, and Tiger Nation did not disappoint!
