Marker to recognize first black students

By Shelby Smith

news@dailyhelmsman.com In 1959 the Memphis State Eight stepped onto campus as the first black students to attend the University of Memphis. Fast forward to 2012, 42 percent of the student population is black and a historical marker for the first eight is set to be unveiled next week.

“Coming onto campus for the first time was a day I will never forget. There was so much anxiety and tension. I worried about my own safety and the safety of the other seven. It was the eight of us against about 8,000 whites. We were making a big statement, and a bold statement,” said Bertha Rogers Looney, one of the Memphis State Eight.

Meca Hill, business and economics major, grew up hearing about the trials faced by Looney, Hill’s grandmother. The stories that Looney shared had a major influence on Hill’s life.

“Growing up, I’ve always known that I was going to the University of Memphis. I’ve never even thought about any other colleges in my scholastic career, and the Memphis

Students have been questioning why they are prompted to download software onto their wireless device when connecting to the University of Memphis Wi-Fi. Three tech employees made sense of it all – the downloads, the confusion and the questions – as they explained Safe Connect.

Safe Connect is a new network access control system that is replacing Net Reg, an in-house system developed 12 years ago that required people to register their computers when they used campus Internet.

Under the new system, users’ computers are registered when they access the Wi-Fi and down-

load the software. The $200,000 product, which was funded with Network Services Funds, was set up July 8 so that kinks could be identified and fixed before the fall semester, according to Mark Reavis, director of network and data center operations.

“Basically, it’s a way for us to be able to register new computers on the campus and allow them to access our network,” Reavis said. “Everything that connects to the networks on campus – printers, desktop computers, laptops, iPads, smart phones, everything that connects – it registers that device.”

Kinks in the system are still being worked

Achievement

Daily Helmsman wins national press award Staff report

news@dailyhelmsman.com The Daily Helmsman and its editor-in-chief, Chelsea Boozer, are the 2012 winners of a national award that honors those who face adversity to protect a free college press.

The College Press Freedom Award, sponsored by the Student Press Law Center – a group based outside of Washington, D.C. – will be presented to Boozer in November at the National College Media Convention in Chicago.

The award follows the newspaper’s successful fight to have its budget restored after an investigation found that a University committee may have considered the paper’s coverage when cutting 33 percent of its funding earlier this year. Courts have ruled that decreasing funding to a college newspaper based on editorial content is a violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

“Winning this award couldn’t have come at a better time,” Boozer said.

“I’m thankful that we can be recognized for standing up for the First Amendment because we’ve been ruthlessly involved in trying to protect the paper’s right to free speech and ensuring the University of Memphis keeps a free press on campus.”

The award comes with a $500 prize, underwritten by a grant from the Louisiana State University Manship School of Mass Communications in memory of “The Reveille Seven,” a group of LSU student journalists who were expelled in 1934 after publishing criticism of the state governor.

SPLC Executive Director Frank LoMonte said Boozer and her staff “exemplify everything that college journalism should be.”

“We had nominees this year who produce exemplary news reporting, and we had nominees who faced down adversity from schools that tried to intimidate them, but we’ve rarely seen such a ‘total package’ of excep-

tional public-service reporting that is met with such forceful retaliation,” LoMonte said. “[The Helmsman staff] hold their school accountable, they push against obstruction to get at the truth, and they don’t back down even in the face of some pretty scary threats.”

The paper’s fight to keep its budget wasn’t the only instance considered in presenting it and Boozer with the award.

In 2010, after a story that reported the Student Government Association’s officers received free tuition out of student-paid fees “Boozer was berated by the SGA president at a Student Senate meeting that resulted in a standing ovation by the audience that included a college administrator,” the press release said. “She was later warned by an administrator that writing such stories would cause the University to have a negative impression of her.”

The release also details an incident this spring when it took nearly a month for the University’s legal counsel to hand over police reports after Boozer presented the federal law that mandated the reports be public record.

Also this spring, a police report was filed against Boozer by a University police dispatcher. The report was deemed unfounded by student conduct officials. Boozer wrote a letter

to University of Memphis President Shirley Raines describing the falsity of the report and asked that the situation be looked into.

Raines replied by saying that the officer “stands by” what he wrote in the report, and no action was taken other than attaching a copy of Boozer’s account of the incident to the police reports on file.

Helmsman General Manager Candy Justice nominated Boozer and the staff for the award.

“When members of the committee (that cut the paper’s funding) tried to strong-arm Boozer about the content of the newspaper, she took a courageous stand in support of college press freedom,” Justice said.

Boozer acknowledged that many people are to be credited, including Justice and the Helmsman staff, alumnus Jim Willis, attorney Brian Faughnan, and SPLC Executive Director Frank LoMonte.

Due to all the chaos regarding the newspaper’s funds, the University is considering a new method for allocating the newspaper’s budget.

“I know that Boozer is going to hold them to that commitment to make something positive come out of this terrible mistreatment of the newspaper, and we will too,” LoMonte said. n

Students to bag garbage on shores of Wolf River Harbor

By L. Taylor Smith

news@dailyhelmsman.com In 2011, University of Memphis students combined efforts with students from Christian Brothers University, Rhodes College and local high schools in order to remove the garbage that overwhelms the banks of McKellar Lake.

In total, they gathered 15,000 pounds of trash over six months and recycled 80 percent of it.

This year, they’re shifting their focus from the lakeside to the riverfront.

On Saturday, volunteers from across the city will converge at Wolf River Harbor by Mud Island to haul away plastic and glass bottles, Styrofoam cups, plastic bags and other junk that has washed onto the shore. While they will attempt to recycle as much as possible, some things can’t be salvaged.

Colton Cockrum, volunteer coordinator for the clean up and assistant director of the Honors Program at the U of M, said items that can’t be recycled include tires, refrigerators, furniture and other large items.

“The waste problem comes from citizens not taking pride in their city and their communities,” Cockrum said. “I guarantee that someone smoking on the sidewalk doesn’t realize that their cigarette butt is going to end up in the Mississippi River eventually.”

The clean up at Wolf River Harbor began when the Wolf River Conservancy, a non-profit organization focused on protecting the Wolf River watershed, contacted Cockrum after seeing the success that U of M students had with

McKellar Lake.

“People are drawn to studentdriven projects because they usually have the most success,” Cockrum said. “And this kind of effort is impossible without Memphis students’ passion. Memphis students are the ones serving as team leaders,

scouting the areas and pushing this effort.”

Although the recent rains have swept in more trash, green-minded Memphians are dedicated to alleviating as much of the problem as possible.

fulfill this necessity by giving back to our own community,” Russell said.

“We are honored to actively take a stance with other servant leaders to keep Memphis clean.”

In addition to support from nonprofit organizations and student volunteers, Outdoors Inc. is sponsoring the event by giving the first several hundred volunteers a free item, such as a water bottle or hat.

Mayor A.C. Wharton may also make an appearance. He is currently at a meeting in St. Louis concerning the river, and if he is back in time, he will briefly address volunteers as they begin the process of bagging garbage.

Tremaine McKinley, junior Asian studies and international trade major, attended the McKellar Lake clean ups with his fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha. McKinley, who will attend this weekend’s clean up with some of his fraternity brothers, is eager to eliminate trash from the banks of the Mississippi River.

“These clean ups are one of the more fun ways to serve the community,” said McKinley. “There is no telling what you and your friends can find out there, and when you’re done, you can see how much good you’ve done and how much more there is to do.”

The clean up starts at 9 a.m. and goes until 11 a.m. Volunteers attending the clean up should bring a pair of work gloves along with a water bottle. They are advised to wear long pants and old shoes because they may be working in overgrown areas. n

uuEight Continued from page 1 State Eight is why,” Hill said.

In addition to Looney, the group consisted of Eleanor Gandy, Marvis LaVerne Kneeland Jones, Rose Blakney-Love, Luther McClellan, Ralph Prater and John Simpson.

When the Eight arrived, the students had to abide by strict rules and regulations to ensure their safety at the school – then Memphis State University. They could not be on campus before 8 A.M. and had

to be gone by noon. They were to be escorted to each class by a state trooper, were excluded from ROTC programs and physical education classes, and were excluded from the cafeteria and student center.

“I thought they were being too cautious with us with the rules we had to follow,” said McClellan, the first black student to graduate from the University.

Although the students followed the rules in order to stay safe, they still had to deal with harassment from other students.

Hispanic Student Association (HSA) Promoting unity through education and community involvement in a diverse atmosphere among students interested in Hispanic culture.

“We mostly suffered verbal abuse and there were people who would ride around campus waving Confederate flags,” Looney said.

They were also treated unfairly in classrooms by many of their professors.

“It was like I was not there. We sat in the back of the classrooms and no one spoke to us. We were invisible,” McClellan said.

Although many professors ignored them, there were a few who were willing to help the students succeed.

“They’ve mentioned a professor, Dr. Feisal, who would offer his help to them. Whatever they needed, he would be willing to work with them,” said Lonnie Latham, Associate Dean of Multicultural affairs.

The unveiling of the historic marker is set for Tuesday outside of the Administration Building.

“The administration building was the first place they met and went to get instruction from the president of the University for what was expected of them,” Latham

said Although she has grown up hearing about the Memphis State Eight, Hill has not let the negative past influence her future.

“I don’t feel bad or anything.

The school has made many strides toward equality. The people that ostracized her aren’t here, nor are their beliefs or hatred. I’m happy to be going to the University of Memphis and take advantage of all it has to offer, to take advantage of everything she couldn’t,” said Hill. n

Christopher Worley, a sophomore double major in physics and math, and Jason Cole, a freshman engineering & technology student, resort to plugging their laptops into ethernet jacks in their dorm room due to the limited wireless connection in Richardson Towers.

By Margot Pera

news@dailyhelmsman.com Some students in Richardson Towers are angry about their Internet connections and they are letting the University of Memphis faculty know about it.

At a recent town hall meeting, a student complained there was no Wi-Fi Internet access past the third floor of the dorm building.

Peter Groenendyk, director of residence life and dining services, said the staff followed up with students after the meeting.

“I knew there was some access on the ground floor, but not sure about the range,” he said.

Groenendyk said students and parents were told Richardson does not have wireless Internet access; Internet is provided via an Ethernet cord in the rooms. A sheet providing instructions for wireless connection on a student’s phone or tablet is available in the

Richardson Towers Tech Office.

Mark Reavis, director of network and data operations, said the wireless instruction sheet is for people who bring devices called home units that allow users to create a Wi-Fi hotspot in their room.

“A home unit is like what a DSL connection would be in your house.

You can buy a wireless router from a place like Best-Buy and have a Wi-Fi connection in your room,” he said.

New dorms that are scheduled to replace Richardson will be designed to support both a Wi-Fi connection and connection via an Ethernet cord.

Chelsea Taylor, a freshman biology major and Richardson Towers resident, said she doesn’t like that she has to sit at her desk to connect to the Internet in her dorm room.

Montrell Lacy, a freshman business management major and also a resident, asked the front desk employees why the Wi-Fi was not available on his floor and “got no response,” he said.

“I feel segregated against. They think the first floor is better than everyone else,” he said.

Another student chose Richardson Towers as his preferred dormitory based solely on the premise that he would have access to Wi-Fi, and said he was disappointed when he found out he could not access it from his bedroom.

“With all of the housing fees, it is too much money not to have Wi-Fi,” said freshman criminal justice major Gregory Buchanan.

Some residents in Richardson asked the employees in the Tech office about the Wi-Fi debacle, and were told that Wi-Fi only comes from their office.

“It’s a crapshoot if you can’t pick up Wi-Fi from anywhere but this office,” said Alec Robinson, electrical engineering sophomore.

The Richardson Towers webpage provides no information on the Internet connection in the dormitories. n

“We’re probably just a couple of weeks from having little things like that finished up,” Reavis said.

Another change that came with the new system is a red sentence that instructs students, faculty and staff to not use the guest Internet.

“The main reason is that the guest (Internet), is actually what it says, for guests that aren’t registered here or that don’t work here,” Reavis said.

“It only gives you Internet access.

For instance, if I take my laptop and I log in on guest, I can go to the outside Internet world, but I cannot go to servers direct on this campus, he said.”

If students use the guest Internet they are limiting themselves as to what they can access on campus, he said.

“Anything that resides on this campus that’s running on a server is going to be much quicker for them by using the U of M network,” Reavis said. “We’ve always had a guest network for some years now, but we try to encourage students, faculty and staff to use the U of M Internet so they get faster, better results.”

Network Security Specialist Liliana Moisa said that unlike the guest network, the U of M network provides

If a student goes to the guest Internet and it prompts them to provide an email address, putting in their U of M email will not automatically connect them with the Internet meant for students, faculty and staff.

Darrell Hickey, assistant director of network services, said thanks to the new system, the Information Technology Division has noticed an explosion of wireless devices on campus.

“This is something we’ve read about in articles and we’ve seen things on TV about it,” he said. “We thought during the summer that 30 percent of devices on our network were wireless devices and then when the fall began

More and more, Hickey said people are BYOD – bring your own device.

“Many people feel more confident and comfortable using their own device because they’re used to it,” he said. “They’re familiar with it, they know the updates.”

Colleges around the country are advertising this and encouraging students to bring their smart phones, iPads and laptops and access the networks, Reavis said.

On the busiest day since the new system has been in place, which was either Wednesday or Thursday last week, there were about 13,600 devices – both wired and wireless – registered

@HelmsmanSports

on the U of M network. Of that number, about 7,000 were wireless.

“That’s a tremendous amount considering we only have about 23,000 students,” Reavis said. “On the first day of classes we saw 12,000 (registered users) and that was when people were just learning how to register their computers.”

If students, faculty or staff continue to have problems with connecting to the Internet either on their personal devices or on University computers, Reavis, Moisa and Hickey said they should contact their local support provider for the building.

When labs prompt students to login to Safe Connect, the trio said it usually means the lab was not set up correctly. n

Tigers tumble to LSU, 2-1

By Bryan Heater

bheater@dailyhelmsman.com Although they had 11 shots on goal, the University of Memphis women’s soccer team converted one, falling 2-1 in Baton Rouge Monday night against the LSU Tigers.

When the clock read zero, the stat sheet seemed lopsided, with Memphis owning a 24-8 shot advantage and an 11-5 edge in shots on goal. However, the U of M watched shot after shot miss its destination as LSU goalkeeper Megan Kinneman made a game-high 10 saves.

“Obviously we’re very disappointed,” head coach Brooks Monaghan said.

“You look at the shots, and the shots aren’t always everything, but 24-8 you know? I don’t remember us ever losing a game where we had that many shots.”

Memphis’ missed opportunities started in the 16th minute when sophomore forward-midfielder Kylie Davis and freshman forward-midfielder Tine Schryvers missed back-to-back shots.

Davis first missed from outside the box, and then Schryvers missed the rebound off the crossbar.

LSU scored the first goal of the match in the 18th minute. Fernanda Piña raced down the left side of the pitch, finding teammate Colby Maffei, who put away the shot for a 1-0 lead.

Minutes later, Memphis junior midfielder-forward Christabel Oduro was fouled in the penalty area, but Davis could not capitalize on the shot.

“Give credit to LSU. They really fought hard, held on and won,” Monaghan said. “It’s disappointing. I still feel this team needs to come together as a group. I continue to say how talented this group really is, but everybody has to be on the same page and we’re not quite there yet.”

Oduro added to Memphis’ shot woes on a one-on-one chance in the 35th minute. Using her impressive speed, Oduro attempted to beat LSU’s goalkeeper to the right, but the shot rolled wide of the goal and out of bounds.

The first half saw Memphis hold a 12-4 advantage in shots with no goals to show for it.

LSU added to their lead in the 60th minute after Heather Magee fired a shot from 20 yards out that bounced off the crossbar and into the net for a 2-0 lead.

Oduro pulled Memphis within one in the 75th minute. Sophomore midfielder-forward Natalia Gomez-Junco bounced a shot off the crossbar. Oduro gathered the ball by the end line on the left side of the field and bent the shot inside the goal for her second goal of the season. Memphis was unable to muster up any more scores, losing 2-1.

“You have to have people step up,” Monaghan said. “Obviously we missed a penalty (kick) tonight and you’ve got to have players that are dying to take it.

We’ve got to find that. We didn’t have that tonight.”

Memphis returns to the pitch Friday for a match against Southeast Missouri State. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. at Mike Rose Soccer Complex. n

Tiger tennis players ranked in preseason poll

By Bryan Heater

Sophomore Connor Glennon prepares to serve the ball during a 2011 match. The Tigers open their season Sept. 21.

With their season opening tournament at the University of Virginia on Sept. 21 right around the corner, the University of Memphis men’s tennis team saw two singles players and one doubles team place in the preseason rankings.

Leading the ranked players for the Tigers is sophomore David O’Leary, who checked in at No. 82 in the preseason rankings of singles players. O’Leary finished last season 22-1 in singles play, 21 straight to begin his career, and was named first team All Conference USA. Tulsa’s Tristan Jackson, No. 23, gave O’Leary his only loss of the season in 2011.

Sophomore Connor Glennon also made the preseason rankings, coming in at No. 106. Glennon earned C-USA Co-Freshman of the Year and also earned first team honors alongside teammate O’Leary. He boasted a 17-5 mark in singles play last season and a 13-6 record in doubles.

The doubles pair of Glennon and junior David O’Hare, No. 37, was the only doubles tandem from Memphis to be listed in the preseason rankings. This is the first season the pair will team up.

The Tigers appeared in the program’s first NCAA tennis championships in 2011. Memphis will host the USTA/ITA Ohio Valley Championships from Oct. 18 to 22 at the Racquet Club of Memphis. n
