Coach Brooks Monaghan’s squad prepares to breach NSCAA Top 10 see page 8 www.dailyhelmsman.com
BY CHRIS SHAW News Reporter After curating four successful art shows featuring student art on South Main over summer break, art majors Chris Reed and Cody Dalrymple started to wonder why the school’s art department didn’t provide an off-campus art studio for students. Reed said that a permanent, off-campus studio would provide student artists outside criticism and chances to make connections with other local artists. “We need more criticism, better contacts and better feedback,” Reed said. “Mom and dad will tell you they love it even if it sucks, we need to see what the public thinks.” Reed and Dalrymple saw an average of 400 people come in and out of their student art show entitled “Some Art,” something Dalrymple said he felt was a good indication the public is interested in student art. Reed said the great attendance might have been due to the unique student art that was shown. “The main goal was to exhibit art for art’s sake,” Reed said. “A lot of people came in because the stuff we featured wasn’t as kitschy as some of the other galleries on South Main. We weren’t showing art where people say ‘Oh that will match my curtains’ — it was more about being controversial.” Art instructor Andrew James, whose work was shown in two of the exhibits over the summer, said although he likes the idea of having a
university-funded art studio, he also liked experiencing all the hard work that went into making the “Some Art” exhibitions happen. “On the one hand, I like the idea of it being funded for financial reasons, but on the other hand, I like the idea of knowing what expenses go into it — the lighting, the labels, the cost of the space in general,” James said. Art professor Greely Myatt said that an off campus gallery has been a topic discussed by faculty for years. “The problem with having an outside space has always been funding,” Myatt said. “Everybody desires it, but there’s not a good solution for it right now.” Myatt explained that first, The University would have to find an affordable space, pay for renovations and find a way to keep it open. While most people involved agreed that South Main would be the ideal space for a permanent University of Memphis studio, the main goal is to get a place away from campus. “I like the idea of having art studio on South Main, but its more important to get an art space off campus — no matter where its located,” Dalrymple said. Myatt said he would eventually like to see a gallery open on Highland Avenue in the old AAA security building, but there is no physical timeline on when a space will open or if it will happen at all. “Having a presence in the community would be a great thing for everyone involved but there are bigger issues right now, like not being able to hire faculty,” Myatt said.

In tough times, class can’t always come first BY CHELSEA BOOZER News Reporter After six hours of sleep behind the wheel of his 2005 Ford Mustang, University of Memphis junior T.J. Jernigan changed into a set of wrinkled clothes, pulled out of the parking lot and drove to campus. He brushed his teeth, washed his face and fixed his hair in a University Center bathroom. He went to class — stressed, wondering where he would sleep the next night and thinking more about his bank account than his quiz next period. College obligations may seem less bearable for students like Jernigan, who have other pressing issues and wonder if taking time for college is more beneficial than getting a job. “It’s almost just like every semester you have to sit down with yourself and decide if it’s worth it. Especially for me, and being in this situation like this,” said Jernigan, who, despite coming from a middle-class family, experienced nearly two weeks of living out of his car this fall. Jernigan, 22, requested a higher loan amount to cover tuition and costs of board this year. He had been back in Memphis from his internship in Georgia for a week before his refund was processed. With no refund money to support him, he spent nights on friend’s couches or in his car until events turned for the better when he found a house and a roommate last week. Jernigan’s situation is not rare, said Shawn Levstek, staff psychologist with The University’s Career and
Psychological Services Center. His student clientele seeks guidance on all sorts of issues associated with managing college and personal life. A struggle he wasn’t familiar with giving advice on was one experienced by freshman computer engineering major Aaron Lovett. Lovett will likely have to postpone his time in college if he is deployed to Afghanistan. Lovett enrolled in the army as a second resort, “in case my first choice, college, doesn’t work out,” he said. “I know that it takes time to get in the career that I want, when I can just turn to the army and immediately start in a particular career,” he said. “It takes more time to go through college than signing up to be a soldier in the military.” Jacki Hicks, sophomore nursing major and mother of two, said time management is the hardest for her as well. In addition to being a full-time student, she works full time in Tunica and has two daughters, a two-yearold and seven-month-old, who she had during Spring Break. “There are many times when I wonder if college is worth it, and last semester – being pregnant – was the hardest yet,” she said. “The idea of the life that I want to be able to provide for my daughters is the thing that gets me up and moving when staying in bed is what I really want to do.” An aspect of what students like Hicks, Lovett and Jernigan face is others not being aware that they are balancing a personal issue and schoolwork. “Teachers don’t build their lesson plans around people who don’t have a home to go to,” Jernigan said.
Donald Franceschetti, professor in the Physics Department, said Jernigan’s concern is valid and that professors do “assume that students have a home and a place to go study.” “We are very middle class in that we expect people to have a place to stay and that they can commute from there to here with reasonable expense,” he said. “I’d advise that person to let their professor know. Professors tend to be lenient if for good reason.”
“It’s almost just like every semester you have to sit down with yourself and decide if it’s worth it.” — T.J. Jernigan Journalism junior Levstek said his advice to students experiencing similar situations is to focus on their personal issues and, if necessary, consider taking a semester away from college. “It’s one thing to overextend yourself and struggle to get by, but it’s another to say ‘I’m prepared to fully engage and do well in my courses’” he said.

Student’s song inspires many, leads to success
by Brian Wilson
BY ERICA HORTON News Reporter
Markevius Faulkner, a junior organizational management major, is grateful for the airplay and positive feedback his gospel single, “Jehovah God,” has received.
It was 2 a.m. in January 2010 the first time Markevius Faulkner heard himself on the radio. He was on the interstate when he rolled down the windows, turned the radio all the way up, pulled over, got out of his car and stared at it. “Are you singing my song back to me?” he asked it in disbelief. Faulkner, a junior organizational management major and awardwinning independent inspirational artist, said he compares the first time he heard his song, “Jehovah God” playing on 95.7 Hallelujah FM to, “that scene from the ‘Five Heartbeats’ movie.” “When they hear their song for the first time and jump up and down,” he said. One year after his radio debut,
Faulkner is finishing up his first signs so he wouldn’t be nervous.

I was literally mother told him to sing to the exit shaking so hard, the microphone was shaking and my voice and was going in and out,” Faulkner said. Though he loved to sing, Faulkner said he never considered recording his own songs until a friend suggested it in high school, when, at 15 years old, Faulkner wrote “Jehovah God.” A year later, Faulkner contacted a manager at a recording studio who told him it would cost $1,000 to record a single song. “At the time I was living in Richardson Towers,” he said. “I had a work-study job, but it wasn’t enough. So, I started waiting tables.” Faulkner said he waited tables for five months before he saved enough money to record his song, which, he said, made it to the top of the independent recording artist charts. The best feedback, he said, comes from people who say his song helped them in some way. “I got some interesting emails and phone calls from people about how ‘Jehovah God’ helped their marriage or how they were going to commit suicide, but heard the song,” he said. “So I said, I know I have a message and I’m going to use music as my platform.”

How beating the heat can take a costly toll BY JULIE DEARDORFF Chicago Tribune The moment you step into oppressive heat, the body senses life-threatening danger and starts fighting to keep things cool. The heart beats faster as it increases the flow of blood to the skin, trying to keep critical internal organs from overheating. But if your core temperature continues to rise, drastic measures kick in. Sweat starts dripping—then pouring—from your glands so that evaporation can cool the body. But if humidity leaves the sweat with no place to go and it simply drips off the skin, “your internal temperature will skyrocket,” said Matthew Ganio, a researcher at UT
Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital’s Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine. “Eventually it could lead to organ damage and death.” Heat waves do more than make us cross and sluggish. Searing temperatures kill more people in the U.S. than hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined. People over the age of 60 are most vulnerable to suffocatingly hot conditions. But if you’re not fit, if you’re overweight, or if you suffer from heart disease, diabetes or respiratory problems, you’re also at high risk because these conditions can hamper the body’s ability to regulate its core temperatures in extreme heat. Fatal heatstroke occurs 3.5

could decrease the amount of blood brought to the skin’s surface to dissipate heat, according to the review. Some evidence also shows people with diabetes may have a reduced ability to sweat. In a heat wave, stress on the heart can be exacerbated by dehydration as the body’s core temperature rises. “To get the blood flow out to the skin, our cardiovascular system has to work hard,” said Lacy Holowatz, a professor of kinesiology at Penn State University who researches thermoregulation, or the body’s ability to regulate its temperature. “For every one-degree Celsius rise in core temperature, a typical person’s heartbeat goes up 30 beats per minute,” she said. “So heat is a stress on the cardiovascular system, even without exercise.” The older you are, the harder your cardiovascular system has to work to get the blood to the surface of the skin. Though heat stress can be dangerous for everyone, “most people who have problems with heat have a cardiovascular issue, including heart attack and stroke,” said Holowatz. Children under age 2, meanwhile, don’t have fully developed systems to regulate body temperature. Heat exhaustion, the mildest form of heat-related illness, can develop in those who are exposed to high temperatures over several days and haven’t adequately replaced the water and salt they lose when they sweat. Common warning signs include cramps, fatigue, dizziness and nausea. If it’s not treated, heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke, which occurs when the body can’t regulate its internal temperature—when the sweating mechanism fails and the body is unable to cool down. When the body’s temperature rises past 103 degrees, cell damage can occur and organs begin to shut down. The intestines may become more permeable, for example, allowing harmful bacteria to get into the bloodstream, Gania said. Enzymes in our cells work at certain temperatures, and if it’s too hot, the cells break down. “The enzymes and cell will actually degrade and break down when they reach a critical temperature,” Gania said. “Think of butter melting. They can no longer hold themselves together when they get too hot.” In addition to a high body temperature, heat stroke victims may have red skin to due to increased blood flow or dryness. In some people, the body stops sweating when the core temperature increases, though it’s not known why. They may be confused or lose consciousness, though the exact reasons for heat’s effects on the brain are unknown. Heat stroke can cause death;

Tigers personnel are meshing well with new coaches BY ADAM DOUGLAS Sports Editor Three weeks into individual workouts, The University of Memphis Tigers men’s basketball team is praising their new assistant coaches, Damon Stoudamire and Luke Walton. But what’s most important is what the NBA stars are teaching the Tigers. “Having two pro coaches makes us get after it,” sophomore guard Will Barton said. “They’ve added a pro style, giving us hints that they’ve used on the next level so that we can be more experienced than our opponents.” The Tigers had a problem last season with a lack of depth in the frontcourt, especially when junior forward Angel Garcia decided to leave the program to play overseas, so the addition of junior college transfer Stan Simpson should be a key to the Tigers’ success this season. “Stan has a lot of talent,” Barton said. “I think that once he gets into shape and learns how we do things around here, I think he will be a real good impact on our team.” Simpson has talent, but what the team and head coach Josh Pastner is raving about is his size. The team was highly undersized against most opponents last year, and that in turn caused them to be outrebounded and out muscled. So with Simpson being 6’10 to 6’11, the tigers should have no problem with being the aggressor under the boards this season. “He’s real crucial to our team,” Barton said. “He’s the
tallest person on the team, we already have an enforcer with (Tarik) Black, but with Stan he can block shots, rebound and help keep Black out of foul trouble.” A year ago, these same Tigers were made up mostly freshmen and sophomores. This year they’re a little more experienced – sophomores, juniors and seniors. With the experience comes a more defined role of leadership, and some Tigers are poised to take on that role this season – something that some of the elder players were reluctant to do last year. “I got to lead, I’ve got to be more vocal this year,” senior guard Charles Carmouche said. “I think I could have done a better job of leading last year because we had a lot of freshman. I should have brought my knowledge to the table more last year so that everybody could have been on the same page.” Also in the mix this season for the Tigers is former McDonald’s High School AllAmerican and Melrose standout Adonis Thomas. Thomas understands that now as a freshman, he’s not ‘the man’ any more and that things a very different on the college level. “The transition has been tough, tougher than I thought,” Thomas said. “It’s a lot of things that I need to learn, especially defensively, so I just have to listen to the coaches and my teammates because it’s a learning process. And with the coaches, you just can’t help but to listen to guys that been to where you want to go.”

Women’s volleyball off to a great start The University of Memphis volleyball team swept all three of its opponents en route to the Saluki Invitational championship in Carbondale, Ill. on Saturday. The Lady Tigers (8-2) took down the Southern Illinois Salukis in straight sets, 25-23, 25-14, 25-19, to claim the tournament title. “Last week, our first couple days of practice weren’t great,” head coach April Jauregui said. “We had some adversity, and I was happy to see us come back and win it in three like we did. So I expect us, when we’re better, to win in three.” Memphis swept each team they faced 3-0, tallying wins over Wisconsin-Green Bay and Murray State before taking out SIU on Sunday. Redshirt junior Altrese Hawkins led the team with 41 kills over the three matches, and Hajnalka Molnar recorded a double-double of 37 assists and 10 digs and was selected to the all-tournament team. “If you have a 6’3” player like Marija, she can play all the way around,” Jauregui said. “I think it shows the level of game and how complete our Serbian and international players are, that she can do all those things. For us it just gives us a lot of options. I think we’re looking for her to maintain that consistency.” The Lady Tigers were led by

The University of Memphis volleyball team is off to an 8-2 start thanks to their sweep at the Saluki Invitational. junior Marija Jovanovic, who was named the tournament Most Valuable Player. And despite the three victories, Jauregui said the team defense could still improve. “Because of our dynamic, we really only have one setter, we can’t do a lot of 6-on-6 play,” Jauregui said. “You’re not getting the experience of playing a live game except for when we go play a live game. We’re hoping
by the end of this weekend we feel good enough about what we’re doing that we’re ready to go into conference. If we do what we should this weekend and our girls come in with that confidence, they’ll be ready to go against UAB.” Jauregui said everyone will
have to contribute for the team to have a successful season. “I think that’s the true nature of volleyball is that it’s a true team sport,” Jauregui said. “For us to have the season that we think we can, we need to have all 13 people playing their role. I know it sounds cliché, but every person has to ful-
fill their role if we want to have success this year.” The Lady Tigers go on the road this weekend to play in the Spartan Spiketacular in Greensboro, N.C. They will return to take on UAB in their Conference USA opener on Sept. 20 in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.

Women’s soccer reaches new heights
Lady Tigers recognized with No. 11 national ranking, team’s highest-ever BY SCOTT HALL Sports Reporter The University of Memphis women’s soccer team was ranked No. 11 by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in this week’s top 25 poll. The Lady Tigers, who are in the midst of a record start to the season, surpassed the
previous record of 15th in the NSCAA poll. They are joined in the top 25 by Conference USA rival No. 20 Central Florida. Memphis was also ranked No. 12 in the Soccer America top 25 poll, passing last year ’s No. 13 ranking as the highest the program has been ranked by Soccer America. “It brings a lot of confidence,” head coach Brooks
Monaghan said. “But at the same time you want to make sure the team stays grounded. It’s one day at a time, one practice at a time, one game at a time. You want them to feed off of it, but you don’t want them to get overconfident. It’s why we’re at where we’re at, because of the character of this group. A group like this won’t allow themselves to get
overconfident.” The Lady Tigers’ record start to the season has seen them go 7-0, tying for the longest winning streak in team history. They close out their non-conference slate this Thursday against Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn. They will return home Oct. 7 to take on SMU following a five-game road trip.

Heat from page 5 the core body temperature of a 65-year-old man who died Tuesday while mowing his lawn near Wichita, Kan., was 107 degrees, Reuters reported. For most people, experts say it’s best to stay inside during periods of excessive heat. Air conditioning—which can be found in public buildings—is the best way to protect yourself against heat-related illness and death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But if you are going to exert yourself outside—whether it’s gardening or running—it’s safer to do it before the sun rises and before it gets too hot. Other advice includes staying hydrated and going more slowly and for shorter periods than usual. Over time, your body can adjust, said Holowatz. Humans are tropical animals with “an amazing ability to thermoregulate during heat,” she said. “We defend our temperature within a more narrow range compared to other species to protect our tissues,” she said. “Our bodies are very well adapted to deal with heat provided we can sweat, so our physiology is very cool, so to speak.”
