CTA to revise city-wide public transit fare system By ZOE BARKER Online Editor You know you’ve experienced it. That moment of slight panic as you approach the turnstile of a CTA station, UPass clutched in hand. You take a deep breath as you slide the thin plastic card into the machine and hope it comes safely back to you. It almost always does, but every time you hear the mechanical sound of your card being sucked into the mouth of the machine your heart skips a beat as you flash back to the time it ate your card,or you saw it happen to someone else or you illustrate the horror stories you’ve heard. It is, in a way, your flimsy little key

to the city. Luckily, the thin and fragile UPass will soon be a thing of the past. Changes are coming to the CTA and thus to the UPass program, affecting the way Chicagoans and DePaul students will interact with the ‘L’ system, likely starting in one year. As part of the new Open Standards Fare System (OSFS) enacted by Illinois House bill 3597 the CTA must “develop and implement a regional fare payment system,” according to a document released by the CTA. This means new cards and new contactless card readers will replace the current cards and ticket machines at the CTA stop turnstiles and buses in 2014. According to Associate Director of Services-TSC in Information Services, Eric

A recently released survey about sexual safety on campus has called attention to one of the most prevalent, yet most underreported, crimes affecting university students, just in time for the new academic year. The survey, “2012 DePaul Sexual Safety Survey,” was not created by Public Safety, but its creators—a coalition of DePaul graduate students, former Office of Sexual Health and Violence Prevention director Molly Harris and Public Service assistant professor Dr. Christopher Einolf—hope its results will

Breese, the CTA met with DePaul July 17. During this meeting the CTA presented various options for the new UPasses that will be implemented with the rest of the changes for the OSFS. Since then, the university and the CTA have begun negotiations and individual brainstorming sessions to figure out what changes will be made to the UPass program specifically. Overall, there will be three new types of cards available for patrons of the CTA. One is a general-purpose reloadable card that is linked to a transit account, much like the current Chicago Plus cards. The second is a “White Label Card” that is used by See UPASS, page 4

DR. CHRISTOPHER EINOLF, survey technical adviser help foster more discussion and education about the issue. The findings, while perhaps not surprising given the national statistics, are worth every student knowing. The survey, which was targeted toward women, found that the number of students who reported what the report calls “unwanted sex play--defined as fondling, petting or kissing” was See PUBLIC SAFETY, page 7

Theatre School kicks off with showcase series By EMMA RUBENSTEIN Contributing Writer Every year, DePaul University’s renowned Theatre School provides a set of shows that thrill avid playgoers and newtimers alike. Each performance is precise, chock-full of talent and imbued with an unadulterated love for the art of acting. The Theatre School offers a variety of shows and an assortment of series

of shows as well. “This season is full of brilliant writers and truly bold stories. Beginning in 1890’s Germany with Spring Awakening, the season highlights heroes as they discover the power of their own voice and action in the context of distinct time, place, and community,” said manager of special events and public relations Andrea Tichy. “From the 1980s in NYC (“Angels in America”) to notions of authority in 1914 Austria (“Measure for Measure”),

it all really boils down to the politics of people.” DePaul University perpetually celebrates and explores social action; this season’s selection of shows is both apropos and delightfully varied. The Theatre School Showcase will kick things off with the beautiful and controversial eighttime Tony award-winning musical “Spring Awakening.” This show tells the tale of teenagers living in Germany in the late 1800s. It paints a striking and universal

FALL MOVIE PREVIEW Arts & Life, page 16

portrait of the way children come of age, explore their sexuality, and cope with others trying to stifle their vibrancy. It will open on Sept. 28 and run through Oct. 7. The next installment of The Theatre School Showcase series will be “Angels in America: Part Two: Perestroika.” The show is the second of a two-part series and explores the tragic AIDS epidemic in New York during the 1980’s. It is recommended for mature audiences and will run

from February 8 to February 17. Come springtime, DePaul is in store for a unique Shakespeare experience. The third show of The Theater School Showcase will feature William Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure,” which takes place in Austria in the early 1900’s. It tells the tale of a riveting power struggle and is bound together by the striking and meaningful contrast between See THEATRE, page 17

As students walk in, CPS teachers plan to walk out By DENNIS D. GEORGES Contributing Writer

One day before Chicago public schools opened their doors, thousands of teachers rallied at Daley Plaza in support of a new agreement between the teachers’ union and the city. Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) members and supporters chanted “Solidarity forever” and “Rahm Emanuel has got to go, hey hey, ho ho,” as they marched from City Hall to CPS headquarters on Labor Day. The union is asking for smaller class sizes of 25 students or less, a pay raise that covers an increase in work days and more job security and special services, among other requests, in contract negotiations. Teachers are prepared to strike on Monday, Sept. 10 if a new contract is not reached. CTU president Karen Lewis, who spoke at the

rally, said, “This fight is not about Karen Lewis, let’s be clear, this fight is for the very soul of public education, not only in Chicago, but everywhere.” Lewis also called Mayor Rahm Emanuel a “liar and a bully.” Lewis said teachers must stand up to the “bully,” and that “we did not start this fight, but enough is enough.” However, Lewis later said she was “extremely optimistic” because CPS officials are working with the issues on the table. Many of the teachers at the rally said they hope to avoid a strike, but are ready to walk out Sept. 10 if their demands for a fair contract are not met. In response to CTU complaints sent to the Illinois State Labor board, CPS spokesman Becky Carroll said the school district was "very disappointed," and that it is "time to put antics aside and negotiate in good faith on behalf of our students."

Blue Demon news brief

Student killed, new Dean of Students office, Vision 2018 unveiled By DYLAN MCHUGH News Editor

DEPAUL STUDENT KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT Kenneth Collins, a DePaul Ph.D. student, was killed Aug. 17 after a car hit him outside of Roseland Hospital, according to Chicago Tribune and ABC7 News. Collins, 43, was a youth counselor for the hospital, and was writing his thesis on how to prevent African-American men from incarceration. Collins was at the hospital on Friday to receive his paycheck, which he reportedly planned to use on an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The driver that struck Collins

remained at the scene, and told police he lost control of his vehicle. Alice Butler-Collins, Kenneth’s mother, told the Chicago Tribune her son’s death was a “tragic accident.”

DEAN OF STUDENTS OFFICE OPENS NEW DEPARTMENT The Dean of Students office is searching for a director and coordinator for a new department of Health Promotion and Wellness opening this year. Dean of Students Art Munin said the new department will “cover the full scope” of health and wellness, from sexual health to healthy eating habits. “Sexual health is something we’ve requested for several years, and finally got funding for it,” Munin said. “The whole

philosophy of it is to promote healthy relationships, not just showing the unhealthy ones.” However, Munin said that Trojan Condoms’ “Sexual Health Report Card”—which ranked DePaul last out of 141 colleges in sexual health resources last year—was not a major influence in the creation of the new department. “It always comes up in conversation, but it's not exactly the most scientific (study),” Munin said. “They didn't even give me a survey to fill out, they just ranked us.” Munin added that the university would continue to adhere to a “Catholic-based philosophy” when it comes to sexual health on campus.

DEPAUL KICKS OFF VISION 2018 DePaul will host a picnic in

the Lincoln Park quad Sept. 14 to present Vision 2018, an updated version of its Vision 2012 and Vision 2006 strategic plans. According to the plan, within the next six years, DePaul will seek to enhance academic quality, deepen its connection to Chicago, strengthen its Vincentian identity, foster diversity, and pursue a business model that builds the university’s excellence. “Like a sculptor who sees the splendor that will emerge from

a slab of marble, we hold in our minds a powerful image of the DePaul we aspire to become,” DePaul president Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider wrote in the plan’s introduction. “Our new strategic plan is a collective work of the university community that articulates our promises to students, our plans to collaborate with Chicago and the values we treasure.”

"UPASS" continued from cover organizational special fare programs, such as the UPass. The last type of card is a limited-use card that can be loaded with a single ride or day-pass fare. They will all be read by contactless card readers at turnstiles of CTA rail stations and on buses. “The cheap, flimsy plastic cards will no longer be used,” Breese said. He also said that no matter what, the UPass cards will only be distributed once. Each new student (and all returning students) will likely be given their new cards for fall quarter 2013, and that’s it. The cards will be automatically reactivated each quarter a student is registered for classes. This will eliminate quarterly UPass distributions. “Distributions are very timeconsuming both for students and staff of the university,” Breese said. Jessica Lin, a sophomore Interactive Media student, said that she thinks UPass distribution is as convenient as it can be, but she usually tries to beat the rush when picking up her UPass each quarter. “I think there are enough days, but the time slots are at a hard time for some students.” Student Government Association President Caroline Winsett believes distribution is a smooth process. “The way we do it is the best way we can. It’s efficient... I don’t know what we could do to improve it.” Winsett also said that eliminating quarterly distributions would be beneficial to students. “It would definitely save students the hassle... because we’re a largely commuting school, and we have a lot of students who commute and live off campus,” Winsett said. Breese mentioned how close the ties are between DePaul and the CTA. “We are

the second largest university using UPass,” Breese said, noting that UIC is the first. According to Breese, for the fall quarter (2012) DePaul distributed around 18,000 passes between graduate and undergraduate students, and the law school an additional 1,500. In the summer the university distributed 6,000 passes to graduate and undergraduate students and an additional 350 for the law school. Winter and spring quarters typically have fewer students, so each quarter usually has around 15,000 distributed UPasses, not including the law school. Certain options are being weighed by the CTA, such as whether or not all of the cards will have photos on them. Other options, such as having a combined card that would serve as DePaul students’ IDs and UPasses, are on the table and will depend on initial decisions made by the CTA and their partners. Breese explained these options in further detail. “One option that we can consider is partnering with the CTA and doing a combined card that would be the same card as your ID. We’d need to order custom cards that would have the chip for the CTA turnstile sensors and the magnetic strip (used for swipe access to computer labs, printing, meal plan, dorm entry, etc.),” he said, adding that the other option is to have a separate card for the UPass, like DePaul currently uses. Either way the cards will be made of a thicker, more durable plastic and have chips to accommodate the new contactless card readers. “The UPass is so thin that I often misplace it or can’t find it in my wallet,” said senior Elementary Education student Lleni Margil. “It would be amazing if my

MAX KLEINER | The DePaulia

UPass and ID were combined because I would not have to worry about having so many cards in my wallet.” Breese mentioned that same benefit to students of the combined card. “One pro for students is that there’s only one card to carry. A con is that with one card there is more liability. If you lose it, it’s more of a concern,” Breese said. “We also haven’t yet figured out how we would handle replacements and fees, if that would be through the CTA or on our end,” he said. Winsett thought that having fewer cards to manage would be a benefit, but also thought that losing the combined card at once would be worse than just losing a single ID card or UPass. “If you lose the one card that gets you on the CTA and into your dorm, that’s so many different things that you’ve lost at once,” Winsett explained. In a survey on depauliaonline.com, 82 percent of 44 total participants said they would be in favor of having their DePaul ID and UPass combined into a single card. “There is still a lot to consider,” Breese said. “But a pro either way — if it’s one card or two — the university doesn’t

have to do distributions each quarter and the cost will go down significantly for administration to run the whole UPass program. And because of this, the cost to students could also go down.” Breese also mentioned that because the new cards will be more expensive to produce, that might add more cost to the pass, but overall costs could still be lower because the cards will only be distributed once, barring any loss of or damage to the card. “We have not made any final decisions yet and are still working out technical and cost issues, and logistics... so there are a lot of factors to discuss,” Breese said. According to Breese, the decision could be finalized as far in the future as next summer, depending on how long negotiations with the CTA take. Regardless of whether or not the new passes are combined with the IDs or remain two separate cards, one thing's for sure: once the new cards are implemented, the old CTA turnstiles will never eat your UPass again.

Occupiers rally at Obama campaign headquarters By HALEY BEMILLER Contributing Writer To commemorate the first night of the Democratic National Convention, Occupy Chicago and other protesters rallied against the Obama administration in front of his campaign headquarters Tuesday. The marchers started at LaSalle and Jackson and walked to the Prudential building off of Michigan and Randolph, where President Barack Obama’s campaign relations are handled. There, a variety of people took the microphone to speak about their feelings on Obama and the upcoming election. Many of the participants see similarities between Obama’s policies and how former President George W. Bush conducted the White House. During an introductory speech, one protester accidentally referred to Obama as Bush, provoking chants of “same thing” and “Freudian slip” from the rest of the group. “If something was wrong under George

W. Bush, it is wrong under Barack Obama,” said another speaker. “Murdering people in other countries is not different because a Democrat does it.” One of the speakers listed off the “Twelve Steps to Overcoming Addiction to Voting for the Lesser of Two Evils” to illustrate the belief that Democrats aren’t necessarily an improvement upon Republicans. Some of the advice said to “remove conflicting bumper stickers” and “get over your romantic feelings for Democrats.” “We are not going to be voting for Barack Obama in this upcoming election, and personally, I’m going to boycott the whole goddamn thing because they’ve shown that both of these candidates are completely bought off,” said a protester. Mary Lou Finn, an activist unaffiliated with Occupy, expressed frustration with the major political parties and claimed that Obama and others have made poor foreign policy decisions. “I haven’t voted for either a Democrat or Republican for president or for Congress

since McGovern, and he ran in 1972,” she said. “I’m just sick to death of what we’re doing to some of these countries.” And while some people refer to Obama as the better option for this year’s election, Finn had a different perspective. “I think Obama’s the greater evil,” she said. “With the Republicans, it’s always been what you hear, what you see, is what you get. There’s no surprises. With the Democrats, they are able to use the sort of language that, you know, pretties up what they’re going to do. I really see them as the greater evil because they are able to fool more people both here and in Europe.” Even though Finn isn’t a member of Occupy, she claimed to agree with most of their politics. She isn’t sure if any movement will instill the change she desires, but after forty years of keeping an eye on the United States government, she refuses to be silent. “I need to find a way to live with this, so at least I did my best to fight it," said Finn.

Another bump in the road for CMH redevelopment By COLLEEN CONNOLLY Staff Writer Redevelopment plans for the former Children’s Memorial Hospital faced another obstacle as Ald. Michele Smith publicly expressed opposition to the most recent plans. “I believe that our community has reached a consensus that the plan is simply too dense and that the plan aggravates the toolong unresolved problems of overcrowding in our schools,” said Smith in a statement. The issue of overcrowding in schools, especially Lincoln Elementary (615 W. Kemper Pl.), was a hot issue at a recent town hall meeting July 26 to discuss the redevelopment plans. Area developer Dan McCaffery of McCaffery Interests proposed a plan that included two 22-story residential towers with about 900 housing units, as well as a grocery store and restaurants. Parents and public school administrators are concerned that the extra housing will force more students into the already-crowded schools. Mark Armendariz, the principal of Lincoln Elementary, attended the town hall meeting and said his school was already 120 students over capacity. The principal of Louisa May Alcott Elementary, Elias Estrada, expressed the same concern. Alcott Elementary (2625 N. Orchard St.) is the second closest school to the site of the former hospital, near Lincoln and Fullerton Avenues. Estrada said his school is also experiencing overcrowding and is not ready to take on more students from Lincoln Elementary. After listening to their concerns, Smith is siding with the principals and parents. “We cannot offer Lincoln Park as an attractive community for young couples and families while we continue to have no solution to the overcrowded conditions in our local elementary schools and the uncertainty that hangs over the heads of our magnet and other neighborhood schools,” said Smith. The height of the two residential towers was also a big issue at the town hall meeting. Smith echoed the concerns of many residents who did not think the towers would fit into the context of the neighborhood. McCaffery had already reduced the density of the buildings in his proposed plans, but many residents, and now Smith, said it is still too much. “The plan does not yet realize our community's vision—which I wholeheartedly support—that this site create a new neighborhood crossroads, an exciting neighborhood destination for us to walk to, walk through, and enjoy,” said Smith.

Students to benefit from CTA improvements By MAUREEN PENLAND AND CHRIS AYAN Contributing Writer

In an effort to update and reduce overcrowding on Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) routes, the CTA announced numerous proposed changes Aug. 21. One major change that will affect DePaul students is the elimination of the No. 11 Lincoln bus between Western and Fullerton and the addition of a new No. 37 Sedgwick bus. The CTA board will vote on these changes on Sept. 12. Additionally, the CTA recently reported on an estimated $240 million project titled “95th Street Terminal Improvement Project.” Construction on the South Side station, which was originally built in 1969, is estimated to begin in 2014. 23-year-old DePaul commuter student Jenny Herman commutes to DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus weekly. “Knowing that I’ll have to wake up earlier is frustrating, but I’ll deal with it for the time being,” said Herman. “I would also hope that cleanliness on the ‘L’ trains will improve. Whenever I visit D.C, I just wish we could someday have train cars as clean and efficient as theirs.”

COURTESY OF CREATIVE COMMONS

The CTA announced the elimination of the No. 11 Lincoln bus and the addition of the new No. 37 Sedgwick bus. The CTA board will vote on these changes Sept. 12. Some of the D.C. Metro’s bus and train fares are even cheaper than the CTA’s equivalent services. According to D.C. Metro’s website, bus fares run $1.80 and their train fares cost $2.10. Even with a fare card, Chicago bus routes cost $2 for the first ride and trains cost $2.25. According to the CTA,

budgetary issues and zoning concerns have delayed the muchneeded rail and station work. However, project “Red Ahead,” which renovates older stations on CTA’s popular Red Line route, officially began this June and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2012. Seven rail stations on the CTA

Red Line, all of which have been around since the early 1900s, are being torn apart and revamped with the $86 million budget. Jarvis, Lawrence and Berwyn are three of the seven stops being renovated. The last major CTA rail improvement project began in 1994 and lasted until 1996, when

the Green Line was demolished and reconstructed to what it currently looks like today. Station houses, platforms, viaducts and track work are all parts of the modernization plan at the seven locations. The Chicago transit webpage prepares commuters for when they can expect work to take place at their station to find an alternate route and expect moderate commute delays. Improvements to the CTA go beyond construction. In an effort to reduce overcrowding, the CTA will be adding service to congested, arterial bus routes, as well as extending two other routes. According to the CTA’s website, these changes will effectively reduce bus loads during the 7 a.m. rush hour from 58 percent capacity to 49 percent. In addition to the bus route changes, the CTA plans on adding 17 rail trips during peak hours, mainly to the Blue, Brown and Red Lines. Improved security has not been mentioned in any of the CTA’s most recently proposed plans. In 2011, 1700 security cameras were installed. All 144 rail stations are now equipped with cameras. Chicago’s North Side neighborhoods can expect to see major improvements by the end of 2012.

"PUBLIC SAFETY" continued from cover high. 27 percent of respondents indicated that they had experienced unwanted sexual contact through either physical force, drugs and/ or alcohol, intimidation by someone in a position of authority, or “psychological coercion” — which the survey defined as a survivor giving in to “unwanted sex play or sexual intercourse because they were overwhelmed by the perpetrator’s continual arguments and pressure to engage in such acts.” Twelve percent of respondents indicated that they were victims of this on more than one occasion. By contrast, the survey found that students were clearly not comfortable with reporting attacks to anyone: 43.8 percent of survivors of attempted rape said they never reported it, and 73.5 percent of survivors of completed rape never reported it to anyone. It is worth noting that the sample size of the survey was relatively small — of more

“

men, LGBTQ students, etc),” Colome said. Colome, who recently graduated with her Masters of Science in Public Service Management, said that the goal of the survey was to bring quantifiable data to the table when advocating for greater programming on campus to address sexual violence, something many feel is still insufficient at DePaul. “There have been some steps ... and that is great,” Colome said, referring to the full-time opening of the Office of Sexual Health and Violence Prevention in February 2012. “But these are initial steps, they can’t be the only steps ... I don’t know if other (Chicago) universities have done similar studies...but they have much more programming (already in place).” DePaul’s institutional response to sexual violence has come up before. The Office of Sexual Health and Violence Prevention, for example, was created as a part-time office in 2007, after

It's an all too sad reality... that there are many instances where there were other people around who see something wrong going on, but don't feel empowered enough to step forward and say 'hey, this isn't good.'" ART MUNIN, Dean of Students

than 900 surveys that were handed out, only 208 were returned completed. “The response rate was much lower than we thought (it would be),” said Einolf, who acted as a technical adviser, helping administer the survey and making sure the data collected was scientifically sound. He felt that, while the data was consistent with other studies conducted in the U.S. on campus sexual assault, the information could benefit from another survey with more respondents. “Ideally what you want to do is send a survey out to the entire student body... and then we’d be working with a census instead of a sample,” he said. “It would be nice to do it again and find a way to distribute it more widely ... to get a better estimate.” Sarah Colome, who was a graduate assistant involved in almost every step of the survey process, said that part of the decision to survey only women was to get as large a sample as possible with a single group. “We wanted to get as large a sample as possible...a solid sample for a targeted survey, and then move on to other targeted surveys (for

the student group Resources, Information, Services, Empowerment (R.I.S.E.) staged a demonstration to express their concern over what they saw as a lack of response and resources for victims of sexual violence from DePaul. Now, though it is a fulltime office, an improvement which Colome believes was necessary, it is only staffed by one person — not enough for a large university. “If the national average is 1 in 4 women experiencing sexual violence during college ... that’s a lot more than one person can handle,” she said. Additionally the university has been working over the summer to be more proactive about addressing sexual assault. Dr. Art Munin, the Dean of Students, said that steps had been implemented to increase the university’s ability to respond to cases of sexual violence, as well as to empower students to prevent them in the first place. Those steps included training the staff at the Dean of Students Office, as well as members of Campus Recreation and Public Safety, in a crisis response certification program

offered by the YWCA. DePaul is also trying to step up its student awareness: for the first time, DePaul implemented a dedicated workshop about sexual safety during opening week for incoming freshman. “(The workshop) was very successful,” Munin said. “A lot of great conversation...and information shared.” Munin said the university is also implementing “Bystander Intervention” training, in hopes that it will give students the tools necessary to take action if they witness violence against one of their peers. “It’s an all too sad reality ... that there are many instances where there were other people around who see something wrong going on, but don’t feel empowered to step forward and say 'hey, this isn’t good,'" Munin said. “Bystander Intervention is specifically to train students to intervene. Bob Wachowski, director of Public Safety, agrees that a student educating themselves is an important factor in staying safe this academic year. “Take advantage of the educational programs offered by the Office of Student Affairs,” Wachowski said. “There are a lot of great programs out there...I would encourage (students) to take part in that.” Wachowski, who declined to comment on the report because it did not come from Public Safety data or information, added that the quarterly Community Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) meetings held on campus were a great tool for students who wanted to be more aware of incidents on their campus and in the area. “That’s their chance to ask questions,” he said, adding that the CAPS meetings were attended by representatives of the Chicago Police Department as well as Public Safety. “We talk about the criminal activity on campus and in the area...It’s a good forum for them to be aware of what’s happening. It’s all about awareness.” Distribution of the report has been slow as the university descends into first week madness, but Colome hopes that as more students and faculty see it, a stronger, more forthright dialogue about preventing sexual assault on campus can be had. “I hope the report gets out and is utilized,” Colome said. “The steps (taken by DePaul) are a good start, but there needs to be more and it needs to happen faster.” The next CAPS meeting is at 4 p.m on Thursday, Oct. 18., in the Student Center Atrium (1st floor) at the Lincoln Park Campus. Students are encouraged to attend. GRAPHICS BY MAX KLEINER | The DePaulia

Reactions to this summer's top news Mass shootings shock the nation

By LYNSEY HART Nation & World Editor CALLIE BRETTHAUER Contributing Writer

Two mass shootings occurred this summer, shocking the entire nation. July 20 in Aurora, Colo., James Holmes, 24, opened fire at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises," killing 12 people and wounding 58 others. He is currently awaiting trial on 142 criminal counts, including murder and attempted murder. Junior chemistry student, Sean Reinsalu, said that he found out about the Dark Knight shooting through online and television

news outlets. He had gone to see the movie at midnight and at first “couldn’t believe [the news].” “It kind of freaked me out to go to the movie theaters, to think that [shootings] can happen in the most unsuspecting places,” Reinsalu said. After initial reports released that Holmes had been dressed as one of Batman’s most famous nemeses, the Joker, Reinsalu was “shocked that there was someone out there who was trying to act out a scenario through a movie character.” Only a few weeks later, Aug. 5, Wade Michael Page, 40, entered a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., and went on shooting rampage. Page killed six people and left three others wounded, includ-

ing Police Lt. Brian Murphy, 51, who was shot nine times. Page died after he shot himself in the head. Unlike much of the nation, Rebecca Carvalho, a freshman music student, had not heard of the "Dark Knight" shooting. She had, however, driven past the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin shortly after the shooting their had taken place. “I was on my way to choir practice,” Carvalho said. “There was an enormous amount of streets blocked off, we didn’t know what was going on.” She quickly learned about the shooting and wondered “why people act that way. It just seems so strange in my mind.”

NASA lands exploration rover on Mars By LYNSEY HART Nation & World Editor

Earlier in August, NASA successfully landed a rover on Mars. Appropriately named Curiosity, the rover, according to NASA, is capable of staying on the red planet for at least 687 days. The goal is to determine whether Mars has ever had the environment that could support small Nicholas Stanley life forms called microbes. Nicholas Stanley, a freshman CDM LYNSEY HART| The DePaulia

student, shared why the mission meant so much to him. “My dad is very big on space,” said Stanley. “He showed me a video of Curiosity landing and we compared it to some of the previous missions.” Stanley said that he is intrigued by NASA’s exploration, but seemed to enjoy it for something a little closer to home. “I’ve always enjoyed talking about [space] with my father - it’s good bonding time,” said Stanley. “And [the discussions] really make me think. You need to know what you’re talking about

in order to hold a conversation.” Stanley also said that he does not follow Curiosity’s popular Twitter account, which comically narrates the vehicle’s exploration. He did, however, witness NASA’s humor when he watched a streaming video of the mission control room. “There was a NASA guy with a Mohawk,” said Stanley. “At first everyone was wondering what he was doing, but then I found out that every time there is a new mission he does a different hairstyle for good luck.”

Romney chooses Paul Ryan as his running mate By HALEY BEMILLER Senior Writer

Only a few weeks ago, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate. Now he will campaign with Ryan in hopes of securing the White House in November. “I think he chose Ryan largely to

appeal to the conservative base and to make the budget deficit one of the primary issues,” said DePaul University political science professor Phillip Stalley. “I think that’s where the Republicans feel they can best attack Obama because of the $16 trillion budget deficit that we have. Ryan is obviously known as somebody who’s a budget man. “He helps excite and activate the base…also possible that he adds a little excitement in terms of thinking down the

road. He’s very young and he appeals to younger people. He’s a VP that I’m sure many Republicans could imagine someday running for president. “It’s hard to know what his role

might be after a Romney victory. Biden was known for his experience in foreign relations, and he’s continued to work in that area as well as overseeing the new recovery act. In some ways, it’s hard to predict but I would say it’d probably be working with Congress because of his own background in Congress…I would imagine it would be on domestic issues and probably on issues of the deficit which Romney has made front and center in part of his campaign.”

Nation thirsty after summer drought

By CALLIE BRETTHAUER Contributing Writer

The excruciating heat and humidity over the past three months affected everyone and everything across the nation. Due to its persistence, the National Climatic Data Center ranked the drought of 2012 as one of the worst in history. Even after it breaks, the drought will have a lasting impact on the United States, from an increase

in deer disease to the rise in the price of corn. "I can see the effects of the long drought this summer at a running specialty store I work at,” said Brian Flynn, a senior history student. “We typically place our orders 12-18 months ahead of time, and it is all based on when the weather traditionally changes. However this drought is completely throwing our business off. "Products we thought would sell are still sitting on the shelves, while the products we didn't think we would need are selling quickly and we can't order more.

I've talked to other merchants as well who say they are having the same problems. It shows how the hot weather is really having an impact on the economy, and it will continue to impact the economy in terms of food costs and living expenses.” Flynn also mentioned how the drought affected him personally, “the water level [is] so low that I am unable to go kayaking in a nearby river. It is one of my favorite things to do, but unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy it."

US HALTS TRAINING OF AFGHAN LOCAL POLICE

This Week in World News

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA

AFGHANISTAN

Afghan authorities have detained or removed hundreds of soldiers in an investigation into rising insider attacks against international service personnel who are their supposed partners in the fight against Taliban insurgents and other militants, officials said Wednesday. The crackdown is the result of the Afghan Defense Ministry's effort to re-evaluate soldiers to stem the attacks, which are complicating plans to train Afghan forces so that most foreign troops can withdraw from the country by the end of 2014. President Hamid Karzai's government hopes Afghan forces can take responsibility for security nationwide by that time. The U.S. military is taking precautionary measures too and recently stopped training about 1,000 members of the Afghan Local Police, a controversial network of village-defense units that is growing but remains a fraction of the country's army and police force. Karzai has expressed concern that without careful vetting, the program could end up arming local troublemakers, strongmen or criminals. So far this year, 45 international service members, most of them Americans, have died at the hands of Afghan soldiers or policemen or insurgents wearing their uniforms. There were at least 12 such attacks in August alone, resulting in 15 deaths.

A man visiting a gem exhibition in Sri Lanka's capital swallowed a 1.5 carat diamond in front of the owner and was taken by police to a hospital, where an X-ray showed the $13,000 stone inside him. Exhibitor Suresh Wijekoon said the man was behaving suspiciously at his stalls and when he reached closer to the suspect, the man suddenly swallowed the diamond at his hand before Suresh alerted police at the exhibition venue. Chou Wan, a 32-year-old from China, is in custody pending further investigation, police spokesman Ajith Rohana said. An X-ray proved the diamond was inside Chou's body, said hospital director Dr. Anil Jasinghe at Colombo National, where the suspect was taken for the test. Suresh, owner of Belgrade International Pvt Ltd, said the diamond weighed about 1.5 carats. It was worth 1.8 million Sri Lankan rupees ($13,636), Rohana said. Sri Lanka does not mine diamonds but is renowned for other highly treasured gems. Facets Sri Lanka 2012 is the island nation's annual largest gem and jewelry exhibition and it attracts a large number of local and foreign buyers.

Egypt's prime minister says Qatar has agreed to invest $18 billion in Egypt over the next five years to help boost the country's ailing economy. Hesham Kandil announced the agreement Thursday at a joint news conference with Qatari Prime Minister Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem Al Thani. Kandil says the investment will target Egypt's industrial, tourism and energy sectors. The funds aim to help revive Egypt's battered economy and lure back foreign investment that has all but disappeared since last year's uprising. Revenues from tourism â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of Egypt's biggest money-makers and employers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fell 30 percent to $9 billion in 2011 and the industry is only making a meager recovery.

A summer of violence

Paramedics treat multiple gunshot victims in the 7800 block of south Essex Avenue, August 23, 2012, in Chicago.

By FRANCESCA GATTUSO Contributing Writer

Paranoid Â feelings, Â overall Â uneasiness Â and Â an Â urgency Â to Â seek Â safety Â have Â become Â far Â too Â common Â among Â Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Â South Â Side Â residents Â this Â past Â summer Â with Â death Â totals Â surpassing Â 300. Â According Â to Â the Â Chicago Â Tribune, Â 38 Â homicides Â took Â place Â in Â August, Â that Â is Â three Â more Â than Â last Â year, Â due Â to Â gun Â violence. Â A Â recent Â study Â that Â was Â reported Â by Â the Â New Â York Â Times Â shows Â that Â there Â has Â been Â an Â almost Â 40 Â percent Â rise Â in Â homicides Â happening Â on Â the Â South Â and Â West Â sides Â of Â the Â city Â

since Â last Â year.

Fall movie preview: five films to know By MAGGIE DZIUBEK Contributing Writer

The Master – Sept. 21

Acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson's first film since his 2007 Oscar-nominated “There Will Be Blood” stars Amy Adams, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix and Laura Dern (who are all Oscar nominees themselves) and promises to be an award show favorite. “The Master” tells the story of a troubled Navy veteran (Phoenix) who returns from World War II and is swept into a cult-like religion built around the scientist and theoretical philosopher Lancaster Dodd

(Hoffman). Some observers have drawn connections between the film's plot and the similarly cult-like religion of scientology, although Anderson denies the association.

Looper – Sept. 28

Director Riann Johnson again demonstrates his eclectic genre portfolio with this time-travel thriller. “Looper” will be his second collaboration with actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who also starred in his 2006 film-noir “Brick.” Johnson followed this cult favorite with the more lighthearted “The Brothers Bloom,” scored by Nathan Johnson. "Looper" also features Bruce Willis, who plays a future version

of Gordon-Levitt's character and is slated to be executed by the younger version of himself in an ironic time-travel plot twist.

Argo – Oct. 12

This political drama directed by and starring Ben Affleck, is set during the 1979 Iran Hostage crisis. The film is based on a 2007 article in “Wired Magazine” by Joshuah Bearman, which tells the story of a CIA mission to extract six Americans from the home of the Canadian ambassador in Tehran, under the guise of a film crew scouting for locations in the area.

Wreck-It Ralph – Nov. 2

studded in more ways than one featuring not only the voice talents of some of the hottest comedy actors around including Jack McBrayer (a former cast member at the “Baby Wants Candy” improv show at Chicago’s Apollo Theater), Jane Lynch of “Glee” and comedian Sarah Silverman, but also the familiar characters of some beloved arcade games such as “Pac-Man” and “Mario Brothers.” Actor John C. Reilly plays to his strengths as WreckIt Ralph, a loveable loser frustrated with his bad-guy role in arcade game “Fix-It Felix” and searching for a bigger purpose in his “pixilated” life.

This Disney release is star-

Life of Pi – Nov. 21

Based on the novel by Yann Martel and a screenplay by David Magee, director Ang Lee's adaptation of “Life of Pi” is already gathering interest for the stark imagery in the promotional material and trailer. Lee is known for his rich visual style, memorable in films such as “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” and for his previous literary adaptation of Jane Austen's “Sense and Sensibility.” The film stars young newcomer Suraj Sharma is as yet unknown, accompaning seasoned veterans of the international film scene such as Gérard Depardieu and Irfaan Khan.

Indie Selections at The Music Box Theatre How to Survive a Plague – Sept. 21

This documentary directed by David France chronicles the campaigns of two anti-AIDS activist coalitions, ACT-UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group), comprised of mostly HIV-positive young men who worked to combat the AIDS epidemic in the mid-1980s.

About Cherry – Oct. 5

In a thought-provoking examination of the worlds of pornography and sex, “About Cherry” is an unconventional comingof-age story of a young woman who tries to escape a troubled life at home by moving to San Francisco and building a career as a stripper and actress in the adult film industry. Starring Ashley Hinshaw, Heather Graham, Johnny Weston, James Franco and Dev Patel, this film explores both the dark and light sides of the world of commercialized sexuality.

The Loneliest Planet – Nov. 2

Directed by Russian-American director Julia Loktev, “The Loneliest Planet” stars Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal (who is previously known for films such as 2004’s “The Motorcycle Diaries” and 2011’s “Even the Rain”) alongside Israeli-American actress Hani Furstenburg. This film explores a moment of crisis confronted by a couple while camping in the beautiful Caucasus Mountains in the Eastern European nation of Georgia.

Must-see concerts for Autumn Quarter By HANNA GUERRERO Contributing Writer Summer festivals are over, but good music can still be found all over Chicago. This fall quarter, save your money, gather up your friends and check out these upcoming concerts.

If you can’t shake that crush you have for the cute coffee house singer.... Ed Sheeran, Sept. 25 at the Riviera Theater

Ed Sheeran has burst onto the music scene from across the pond as pop’s newest up-and-coming singer-songwriter. You may have seen this artist covering a Pink Floyd song at the Olympic closing ceremony. Unlike Pink Floyd's rock, Sheeran blends a variety of music styles like hip hop, electronic and folk, and somehow he makes it sound good. It must be his red-haired British charm.

Kick your “hipsterdom” up a notch by becoming a hipster....Father John Misty, Oct. 30 at Lincoln Hall

If you missed your chance at seeing this band at Pitchfork, now is the time to go. Father John Misty is none other than J. Tillman, former Fleet Foxes member. Under his new band named Father John Misty, his music is loose and psychedelic. Jangling '70s rock vibes infused with subtle country croons will have you in a jamming daze. Expect spooky vibes to flow since this show is the day before Halloween, but that won’t stop you from having fun with Father John Misty and his crew.

If you just want to feel the love, the Grouplove that is...... Grouplove, Nov. 8 at the Riviera Theater

their shows.

Break out the Doc Martens and heavy eyeliner, but don’t forget the glow sticks......... Crystal Castles, Nov. 2 at the Congress Theater Lo-fi electronic has never sounded better now that Crystal Castles, a Canadian duo, are on the scene. Although lo-fi sounds minimal, Crystal Castles’s music has a significant amount of depth – their searing white noise is textured, and singer Alice Glass’s voice harpoons melodic lyrics right into your eardrum. The music drives you into a rabbit hole of electronic beats. The band’s biggest hit, “I’m Not in Love,” features none other than the Goth King himself, Robert Smith of The Cure. Crystal Castles are known for their chaotic shows, so expect the unexpected.

LUIS SINCO | MCT Campus

If you want to body surf your way through a sweaty crowd.....Sleigh Bells, Sept. 28 at the Metro

Sleigh Bells are a sweet breath of fresh rock air, infusing synths and pop with heavy guitar to bring a delicious blend for the rock-craving masses. They go heavy with songs like “Infinity Guitars,” sweet with “Rill Rill” and catchy with “Comeback Kid.” Their music is fast, hard and loud. It still manages to be melodic thanks to singer Alexis Krauss’ catchy lyrics, while Derek Miller’s metal and punk guitar riffs pick you up and swoop you into the blissful chaos that is Sleigh Bells.

If you’re looking for a good date night..... The xx, Oct 20 at the Congress Theater

Ever since being featured in the “Project X” soundtrack, The xx's brilliant and often moody sitin-a-dark-room-and-make-out music has been in the spotlight. The follow up to their successful critically acclaimed self-titled album, titled “Coexist,” will be released Sept. 5. With a whole new album of indie rock music to share and help you seduce your lover with, this concert is sure to have you hand holding and googly-eye making with your significant other all night.

You’ve heard their song “Tongue Tied” either on the radio or on the commercials for Mindy Kaling’s new show “Project Mindy” on Fox. It’s a simple, good pop song. Their songs are rich in color: Their first major single, “Colours,” is aptly titled. It showcasies their blazing, sunny, California-dipped tunes. Despite their album’s title, ABOVE: Grouplove guitarist Christian Zucconi “Never Trust a Happy Song,” it’s hard to resist their uplifting songs.

The Theatre School is a gift to both the talented students within it and the entirety of DePaul that can enjoy it. This year’s lineup of shows is varied, touching and absolutely intriguing. “I have never attended a DePaul Theatre School production, but this season seems like a really incredible set of shows. I’m definitely going to check it out,” said sophomore English major Andreas Tsironis. The ebb and flow of this selection of shows truly provides something for everyone to appreciate. The determination and talent that radiates from the school ensures that every playgoer will leave with a smile on their face. It will undoubtedly be a season to remember and will start in just a few short weeks.

North Coast Music Fest brings beats, crowds to Chicago Growing popularity focuses on spectacle rather than electronic dance music By BRIANNA KELLY Contributing Writer Over the past couple of years the music industry has taken a dramatic turn for the worst. It seems that many of the artists today are more concerned with making money than producing songs they are truly proud of. Electronic music has unfortunately become the most popular genre today. Many young people are hungry for bass drops and dirty beats that they can dance like they’re having sex to. There are some very talented DJs out there, but many are simply trying to embody the incompetent man that was at least partly responsible for the mindless mayhem - Skrillex. They stand on stage incessantly turning knobs and begging for praise from the crowd. North Coast is normally one of my favorite music festivals, and I’ve attended all three years of its existence. But after last weekend, I’m not sure that I will go next Labor Day weekend. I didn’t feel that like-minded music lovers surrounded me. The people are usually the second best thing after the music. But the crowd this year was completely different than in previous years. It was saturated with rave “kandi” kid culture and the drug, dubstepcrazed teenagers sent out bad vibes that were felt by many. Talk about a "teenage wasteland." Boys and girls who were clearly in high school were walking around like hyped up zombies with dilated pupils and pacifiers in their mouths. Not to mention there were too many underage girls running around in underwear. They had braces on their teeth, but lacked legitimate clothing on their practically prepubescent bodies. I’d rather see a good oldfashioned rock show and wear my patchwork overalls, but hey, that’s just me. However, aside from the dubstep nonsense, there were still many talented acts that put on amazing shows throughout the weekend. And luckily most of my favorite acts weren’t appealing to many “bass heads.” (Thank God!) Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9) was the most memorable act on Friday. The dudes from STS9 came on stage looking like rock star astronauts in their matching white uniforms, complete with a skinny black tie. They used the amazing visuals from their Great Cycles Spectacles, which also included a friendly alien voice that welcomed the crowd by saying, “Greetings to the inhabitants of the universe.” STS9 then kicked it into high gear to put on a show that was completely out of this world. Beats Antique was the first full set I caught on Saturday

elements as well. Immediately after Beats Antique, on the adjacent stage, was Excision. Since I hadn’t checked out any of the electronic music all weekend, I decided to give it a chance because I heard

it was kind of cool, at least for the visuals at least. My disdain for most electronic music is now solidified. His beats sounded like a computer malfunction. Even his visuals couldn’t pick up the slack because it was still light outside. Future Rock and Atmosphere both put on great shows that I really enjoyed. But I couldn’t contain my anxiousness for the final act of the night, the band I was really there to see, Umphrey’s McGee. As usual they put on an incredible high-energy show. It grabbed a hold of your attention from the very first strum of the guitar in the opening song “Ocean Billy” and kept it until the very last slap of the bass in the final song “Puppet String.” These six guys are some of the most talented musicians still touring and making music today. Every time you see them live you can guarantee it will be completely different than any other show of theirs you have seen before. They often improvise on stage and communicate with one another using hand signals and talkback microphones. They do things on stage that most bands could never dream of doing. Umphrey’s McGee are true pioneers of the prog-rock genre. When I waltzed into Union Park for the final day I heard the sweet sounds of one of Chicago’s most talented bands, Van Ghost. They had two females on stage singing and playing brass instruments, and if that’s not badass, I don’t know what is. Jennifer Hartswick has a powerfully soulful voice and each instrument holds its own in the band. There are times when the pounding keys are the focus, when the guitar is being shredded, and when the drums are beating away for your attention. Big Boi commanded the North Stage as the big hip-hop headliner of Sunday night. He performed many of Outkast’s most well-known songs like “Ms. Jackson,” “Rosa Parks,” and “So Fresh, So Clean.” Most of the crowd was dancing and singing along to every lyric. Enough was enough and I exited Union Park at about 9:15 to beat the crowd and catch the train to the Congress Theater to see my boys Umphrey’s really close the weekend out right at their after party show. But I’ll spare you another biased rant. Even if a few of my favorite bands play North Coast again next year, if the electronic presence is still as large (or larger), I may have to consider forgoing it in favor of Lollapalooza or Pitchfork instead. I would much rather be surrounded by hipsters than rave kids at a music festival. Then again perhaps the electronic scene will fade just as fast as it sky-rocketed to popularity. We will just have to wait and see what next year has in store.

Who, what, wear? Easy tips to look stylish for class Because wearing your pajamas is never, ever an option By ALYSSA McHUGH Contributing Writer Fresh textbooks, crisp air and meal plans can only mean one thing: it’s time to go back to school. What better way to start off the semester than by looking your best? It's often hard to decide what to wear in Chicago’s everchanging weather when leaving for class - there are many options in your fall wardrobe so it's tricky to know what will be appropriate for the upcoming season. There are, however, foolproof articles of clothing perfect for any prewinter day or night. Two things go hand in hand when dressing for class: comfort and style. Dressing for an alwayschanging climate can be tough, but a casual daytime outfit can be foolproof. The temperature during the day will rise and fall continuously, so the best option for bottoms during the first few months of fall is cropped leggings for the ladies and cargo shorts or cut offs for

the men. These articles of clothing give you the ability to wear it whether it is hot or a little chilly outside, and are perfect for if you are in a hurry. To polish the outfit off for not only an approachable, but also effortless look, pair the bottoms with a nice top and cardigan sweater. The only difference between this day outfit and your safe night ensemble is that longer pants may be thrown into the mix once the sun goes down to protect your legs from a cool wind. Add in a pair of Sperry’s (the most comfortable shoes if you are doing a lot of walking), flats, or Wellington boots for rain for maximum comfort and protection. If followed, all of these tips will have you prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at you! Granted you don’t forget your umbrella, of course. Every safe choice has an opposing trendy side. There are other options if it is still nice outside to play around with during the back to school craze. Caution, this advice is more for a

risk-taker of fashion! Take full advantage of your summer wardrobe while you still have the chance. Stay away from jeans during the day time, and opt for a more tailored pant during the evening for an alternative. Ladies, take advantage of the weather by slipping on a dress with a light jacket or a fun bright skirt with a polished top. Men, it is still all right to wear your favorite summertime t-shirts, but if you're ready to embrace the fall trends go for a polo or button-down shirt instead. Don’t know what to lug around your textbooks and belongings in? Backpacks are so last season; tote bags and computer bags are in! Many retailers offer totes that are small enough to carry around all day but large enough to fit a 13” laptop, schoolbooks, wallet, and your cell phone. This gives students the chance to be fashionable, yet practical, when walking around the city. Now add a swing to your step and voilà! You are now Lincoln Park-ready to rule the campus catwalk.

Riot in Chicago: Riot Fest returns for 8th year

The punk and alternative rock answer to the music festival scene

By HANNAH HOFFMAN Contributing Writer

Jesus and Mary Chain

Mostly known for their 1985 song “Just Like Honey” the Scottish band was one of the front runners of post-punk and alternative rock from 19831999. After reuniting in 2007, they are back on the road performing mostly old songs and hits including “Just Like Honey” and a new song “All Things Must Pass,” which was written for the NBC show Heroes. While they have yet to release a substantial amount of new material, they are one of the most original alternative acts and still worth checking out.

Riot Fest, the annual punk and alternative rock music festival, returns to Chicago for its eighth year Sept. 14 - 16, featuring a multi-generational lineup including legends like Iggy and the Stooges and Elvis Costello and the Imposters to newer artists like The Gaslight Anthem, Gogol Bordello and Minus the Bear. With such a wide array of artists represented over these three days, here are some sets worth checking out.

Iggy and the Stooges

The undisputed Godfather of Punk will headline Sunday’s set along with Elvis Costello and the Imposters. Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of the Stooges classic album Raw Power, which is already a concert staple, so expect to hear songs like “Raw Power,” “Search and Destroy” and “Gimme Danger.” Pop is still one of the wildest front men in rock music so be prepared for some crazy stage antics from a 64 year old man… which may or may not include a stage dive.

The Gaslight Anthem

The New Jersey punks just released their bombastic fourth album “Handwritten” in July, and it very well may be the best Gaslight Anthem album to date. New songs like “45,” “Mulholland Drive,” “Handwritten” and “Here Comes My Man” have made it onto the set list, but fans can also expect crowd pleasers like “59 Sound” and “Old White Lincoln.” Singer Brian Fallon’s powerful vocals

and the aggression and rawness of Gaslight Anthem songs make them one of the best live acts today and a Saturday set that should not be missed.

Gogol Bordello

This band is a live band, pure and simple, and their recordings do not do justice to the mayhem and party that is a Gogol Bordello live show. They are a mainstay on the festival circuit and it’s easy to see why. Gogol Bordello’s

self-described brand of “Gypsy punk,” which meshes elements of traditional Gypsy music with punk, is high energy party music, and songs like “Start Wearing Purple” and “Wonderlust King” always get the crowd going. It doesn’t hurt also that Eugene Hutz is one of the best front men in rock, and with his crazy energy and that of his band mates, Gogol’s set should be a Sunday highlight.

Henry Clay People

One of the lesser-known bands in the lineup, the Henry Clay People have cut their teeth on the festival circuit, playing Lollapalooza, Coachella and Austin City Limits and opening for Silversun Pickups and Against Me!. Their stripped down garage rock sounds nostalgic, yet fresh, harkening back to the good old days of rock and roll. Definitely put this band on your radar, they still play fairly small clubs yet have the potential and the chops for mainstream popularity.

'Love This Giant,' an epic duet to love St. Vincent & David Byrne's unlikely, yet awesome collaboration By NASH SANDERSON Contributing Writer

2012 has seen some interesting teamups in the music world: The Divine Fits (consisting of Spoon's Britt Daniel, Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs, and New Bomb Turks' Sam Brown), Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney and Maybach Music Music Group (Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill), but one special new cooperative effort easily out-weirds them all. In the fall of 2009, David Byrne (the eccentric mastermind behind the Talking Heads and other iconic projects) and Annie Clark (the burgeoning indie icon behind St. Vincent) met at a benefit concert in New York City and were tasked with creating some new music between them. On the outside, this pairing seems both incredible and overwhelming. Each artist is at the top of their game, but their styles are each so distinctive and refined that it was unclear just how well each's music would click together. Invigorated by the collaboration, Byrne suggested that the duo record their new songs into an album. The result is “Love This Giant,” a funky, brilliant, brassy and weird album that is one of 2012's most unique records. From the outset, “Love This Giant” builds every tune on a funky horn and brass section working in unison with highly crafted syncopated percussion fills. This yields the sort of jittery, brainy sound that made the Talking Heads so legendary. But with this new record that style is pushed even further, filled with an untamed energy that is palpable throughout the 44-minute runtime of the album. It is that wild energy that makes “Love This Giant” one of Byrne's most enthusiastic and infectious records to date. While vocals are about evenly split between Byrne and Clark, Byrne's eclecticism dominates the tone of the album for the most part. However, when the two voices come together in unison, it is truly special. On "Dinner for Two,"

Byrne and Clark sound like their voices were made to accompany each other. Each is so unique and "weird," yet they suit each other so perfectly. It is clear that Clark has invigorated Byrne because he sounds so full of life and vigor on these duets in particular. As for Clark, it is when her beguiling, angelic voice takes the lead on songs like "Ice Age" and "Optimist" that the album reaches its most hypnotic and affecting, drawing the listener in like she has on her superb solo records. The horn and brass sections influence the record in such an interesting and positive way, but they do overshadow the guitar work of Clark. Known as one of the best indie guitarists on the music scene right now, it is a shame that her signature blistering-guitar style is almost entirely left out on this record. When it does show up in the primal, almost jungle-sounding "The Forest Awakes", it almost steals the show. Not unlike the solo work of both, “Love This Giant” demands repeat listenings. With each play, listeners can dig deeper into this heavily layered and expertly crafted album. Specifically, the excellent and brainy lyrics must be unpacked and broken-down to be fully appreciated. Clever witticism can be found just about everywhere on the album. Songs like "I Should Watch TV" and "I am an Ape" seem to tap into strange voices that one just won't find anywhere else besides the (probably) twisted minds of Byrne and Clark. With “Love This Giant,” it is almost impossible for the sum to be greater than its individual parts. The legendary catalogues of both David Byrne and St. Vincent are simply too iconic. But “Love This Giant” more than lives up to its lofty expectations. This sonic masterpiece may just be the weirdest, funkiest surprise of the year. David Byrne & St. Vincent will be performing at the Chicago Theater September 18.

Brokenhearted and burning brightly Angus Stone's time to shine By SHANNON SHREIBAK Weekend Edition Editor Usually flanked by his tin-voiced, guitar-toting sister, Angus Stone has broken free from the hackneyed siblingduo dynamic and headed in a newfangled direction—more accurately, the woods. Featuring loosely plucked banjo grooves and Mississippi Delta harmonica solos, Stone’s first eponymous solo release (he released an album in 2009 under the cryptic moniker “Lady of the Sunshine”), “Broken Brights” deserves the tip of a distressed straw hat, or however you praise a flannel-clad, bedroom-eyed folkster’s body of work. The title track teeters between Americana influences and electronic dashes throughout the four-minute sleeper single. Stone’s silver-tongued chants complement smooth guitar grooves and a crisp, simple drum line. Rather than boring the listener, the simplicity of the piece lends an indisputable honesty to poetic non-sequiturs: “Shake them bones let me lost tonight. We’ll grow young make me feel alright.” Singing nonchalantly over dueling acoustic and electric guitar dubs and jovial claps on “Bird on the Buffalo,” Stone poses potential as a milder, in-treatment doppelganger of melancholic indie royalty Kurt Vile. The combination of Stone’s sparse musical approach and charming electronic flourishes anchors the song without meandering into unwelcomed sonic territory. “The Blue Door” leaves behind faint footprints in exotic territory with pipe flutes and tawny guitars. “Apprentice of the Rocket Man,” however, marks a weary middle for the album, with few musical nuances and a tired delivery. Relaxed is the phlegmatic Aussie’s vibe of choice,

but it seems that even he has pushed past his pass-the-peace-pipe threshold. “Monsters,” one of many tracks exceeding the lengthy five-minute mark, features an infectious banjo accompaniment that would make a Mumford and Sons band member envious and is undoubtedly the most complex Stone composition. With female overdubs and desperate wolf calls, “Monsters” is the creative highlight of the album. “Only a Woman” musters up some musical girth with the help of aching backing vocalists. Stunning in its raw and blistering blemishes, emotional dips and cracks scatter as Stone wheezes through lyrics depicting yearning and heartbreak. Dejected pleas begging to be taken “back to them old days…when you held me close in that sweet rain” result in the a trembling tearjerker welcoming rivers of tears and mutters of regret. The 13-track behemoth caps with aptly titled “End of the World” and features some of Stone’s most decipherable lyrics. Foreboding guitars drone as Stone warns of the impending doom approaching his camp of peyote-packing comrades with disconcerting serenity. Ultimately, the track strays from the overarching themes of the album and leave listeners with a mildly acceptable—but regrettably forgettable—ending. Despite overtly clichéd Americana imagery and unremarkable musicianship, Angus Stone’s “Broken Brights” serves as a transition—undeniably bumpy, but a transition nonetheless—into a new vein of his career. The album explores common themes in unsurprising ways but Stone’s relentless approachability envelopes the album and redeems much of the heartbreak staple. But past the mild pitfalls and platitudes, Stone proves that however broken a man or song may be, it’s still possible to burn brightly.

Fall Fashion Roundup Cool weather is coming, is your closet ready? ByTESSA LAVDIOTIS Contributing Writer I have long awaited for school to start once again, and not for the typical reasons. The beginning of the school year signals the imminent coming of a new fashion season – the arrival of the fall collections I have been eagerly anticipating. Chicago is notorious for its ever- and rapidly-changing weather. Since this is my first year in a city with a back-and-forth climate, I hope to take a more practical approach to which trends I would invest in and be able to wear. Chunky sweaters have been shown on the runway, with a range from subtle colors to bright animal silhouettes and prints. Chloé has a variety of knits that I

lusted over, whether it was a flowing turtle neck or a gathered cable knit sweater. For more affordable versions, Zara carries quite the assortment as well, with just the right amount of lace or embellishments. Last spring, peplum became popularized after a long hiatus. This fall, it appears the traditional ruffle overskirt is being incorporated into styles as well. Some of the notable designers who featured peplum garments this fall were Zac Posen, Burberry and Lanvin. These styles are undeniably picturesque and geometric, but rather pricey for a college student’s budget. For a style that is feasible for everyday, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters have peplum dresses and blouses that are feminine and versatile. Lastly, the militant look is my favorite of all the fall creations. It seems that this

Local Foreign Language Bookstore Says Au Revoir, Searches for Less Expensive Location As of September 1, Chicagoans in the market for foreign language books will have to search a little harder as a result of the temporary closing of Europa Books, a bookstore specializing in foreign language books which has made its home in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood since 1990. In a letter to friends and customers of the store, the Europa Books staff explained that the rent at the Gold Coast location had become untenable and for that reason they had been forced to close the store for the time being. However, lovers of foreign language books can take heart in the fact that the company is actively seeking a new location in a less expensive neighborhood. “We have a target time frame in mind to reopen between six and ten months,” said director of marketing Daniel Eastman. “We're hoping to reopen sooner rather than later, but we have to find the right location, even if that means waiting twelve months or more.” Europa Books, the parent company of Schoenhoff's bookstore in Boston, is a unique presence in the Chicago area that offers a wide range of foreign language books to a wide range of customers. “I would say that most of our customers are either students or ex-pats” director of marketing Daniel Eastman says, “but people from all walks of life patronize the store” Whether searching for books to learn a little bit of a language before a trip abroad or to welcome a new foreign language speaking in-law into the family, “people come to the store for all kinds of reasons” Eastman says.

According to Eastman, the most popular section of the Europa store is French language books. This may have been due to the lack of competition. Europa's selection of French language books for sale is unrivaled in the area, whereas books in certain other languages such as Spanish are more readily available from other sources in Chicago. Eastman also points to the role of the French language in American cultural life “a lot of Americans learn French in high school or college, and it seems that people learning French tend to keep it

“

We have to find the right location, even if that means waiting twelve months or more,” DANIEL EASTMEN, Director of Marketing, Europa Books

up longer than some other languages,” Eastman says. Although they are sad to be leaving their original location, the Europa Books team remains hopeful that the store will reopen at a less expensive location in the relatively near future. In the meantime, customers looking for foreign language books can visit the Europa Books warehouse location in Skokie at 8124 Ridgeway Ave. which will remain open and can be visited weekdays between 9AM – 5PM.

Pumpkins, as well as some incredible debuts from new acts such as Purity Ring, Frank Ocean and the Divine Fits.

And with a few months still remaining

in 2012, there are still plenty of exciting new releases on the horizon. To help you keep track of all the album releases in the coming months, we’ve compiled a list of the biggest in each genre along with their specific release dates.

WEEK IN REVIEW BASKETBALL

CROSS COUNTRY

The Big East Conference schedules for DePaul men’s and women’s basketball were released Sept. 5 and 6, respectively. The men’s team opens their conference schedule Jan. 2 against Seton Hall, a team that DePaul crushed 86-58 to close out last season. Five of the team's 18 conference games will be nationally televised on ESPN2 or ESPNU. The season culminates with the Big East Tournament in New York City from March 12-16. The women be-

After respective ninth and 12th-place finishes at the Big East Championships last season, the men’s and women’s teams looked to start off 2012 with a bang at the Elmhurst College Early Bird Invitational Aug. 31 in Elmhurst, Ill. Junior Eddie McDaniel finished in

gin their Big East slate against Louisville Jan. 5 as the Big East Network's Game of the Week. The Blue Demons' will have six league games televised including three on ESPNU and a pair on CBS Sports Network. The women's Big East Tournament runs from March 8-12. Each team's schedule includes two exhibition games at McGrathPhillips Arena. The men will be matching up with Lewis University and UC Riverside, and the women will go head to head with Illinois Wes- Anna Martin and Worrel Clahar.

Eddie McDaniel fourth place overall and led the men to a second place showing, behind North Central College. Juniors Ian Sanchez and Herald Alvarez each had top-10 finishes for the Blue Demons. On the women’s side, sophomore Jacqueline Kasal led DePaul to a thirdplace showing, crossing the finish line in 14th. One of the surprises was the 28thplace finish of freshman Molly Shiroishi in her first race as a Blue Demon. The men and women will be heading to South Bend Sept. 14 to participate in the National Catholic Championship.

advantage of that so far.” Included in the strong start by the women’s soccer team was a 2-1 win over Towson to open the season and a 3-0 thrashing of Ohio. In both instances, the goals came early as the team dictated the tempo of matches with strong starts. The Blue Demons also out-battled a physical Valparaiso side to notch a 1-0 win before heading out on a 1-0-1 road trip. On that road trip, the team played 110 minutes of soccer in a scoreless draw with Wright State before taking down Dayton two days later.

Last season, however, did serve as an experience boost for team that welcomes back seven starters. “Last season was a learning season for a very young group,” said Chastain. “There were a lot of tight games – overtime or one-goal games. We made youthful errors, but those experiences for the young players paid off at the start of this season.” This season’s quick start has already seen a more mature Blue Demon side, and one that has greater contribution from different areas of the pitch. The team has

notched six different scorers in as many games, while the play of the back four consisting of Ren Stoecklin, Sarah Gorden, Rachel Pitman and Kylie Nordness has limited opponents to just three goals so far. Both Amber Paul and Natasa Radosavljevic have netted twice, while other goal-scorers include captains Kelly Blumberg and Ashleigh Goddard. One shift in the personnel for the Blue Demons included moving Rebekah Roller from the backline into midfield. Roller plays as a holding mid for DePaul, enabling her to get more touches on the ball to recycle possession and start attacks. Roller also takes the team’s corners and deep set-pieces. The play of goalkeeper Megan Pyrz is also noteworthy. Her 12 saves against Dayton earned the sophomore Big East Goalkeeper of the Week honors. Individuals aside, the team as a whole is performing better, Chastain said. “This group is more detailed and now understands you can’t take plays off,” she said. “They’re more focused. Having such a demanding schedule last year, they saw last season what we’re going to see this year. They’ve already experienced that

In their first match competing in the First State Skyhawk Invitational, the Blue Demons swept Wright State with a dominant 3-0 victory (25-18, 25-11, 25-14) Friday, Aug. 31. The Blue Demons dropped the Raiders to 0-5 on the early season while improving to 2-2 themselves. DePaul hit a season-high .326, committing just 10 errors in the 65-minute match. Wright State could only muster a .011 hit percentage and was forced into 22 errors. Freshman standout Callie Huebener led the Blue Demons with nine kills, contributing seven digs and two solo blocks. The following day of the tournament, the Blue Demons dropped a 3-1 decision (25-23, 1725, 14-25, 21-25) to Troy, despite a career-high 19 kill performance from junior Vesela Zapryanova.

level of opponent which has made them better.”

Big East

After missing out on the postseason last time around, the goal for this season is simply to return to the Big East tournament. For senior and captain Kelly Blumberg, there is extra motivation as she enters her final season. “After last season was over, knowing it was going to be my senior year, I felt really motivated to not have another season like we did,” said the midfielder. “It’s a whole new team, a new season. We’re not focusing on last season, just this one.” The road to the Big East tournament is never an easy one, and this season’s offering in the National Division should be no exception, according to Chastain. “The Big East season is always tough,” she said. “All the teams are good and competitive. It will be about who gets the job done. Every Big East team will be scratching and clawing for wins, so no game is an easy win. They’re all tough, hard-fought games.” Some of the key matchups for the Blue Demons will be home matchups against

Louisville and Notre Dame in the final game of the season. The Cardinals finished first in the National Division last season, while the Blue Demons fell in South Bend 5-1 to conclude the campaign. Other tough matchups include road trips to UConn and Georgetown.

Confidence

Although the schedule will be tough, the team is confident going forward due to greater contribution from every member of the squad. “I think the difference between this group and last year is everyone can contribute,” said Blumberg. “Like MaryKate (Cicinelli) came off the bench to score the winner in overtime (against Dayton). That helps the players on the field when you know if someone needs a sub or someone gets hurt, the player coming in can get the job done. “I think we’re a really good group this year,” Blumberg continued. “Everyone is really invested in the team. Overall I feel really confident in this group that we can get it done and qualify for the Big East tournament.”

"MEN'S SOCCER" continued from back page only fourth-year player. “We were eliminated by them two years in a row. Hopefully we do well in the regular season to qualify and then get out of the first stage (of the Big East tournament).” Aguilar, a senior midfielder from Hammond, Ind., led the Blue Demons in total points last season behind seven goals and four assists, earning All-Big East First Team honors, while David Selvaggi’s seven goals earned him AllBig East Rookie honors.

Aguilar echoes that sentiment. “There’s never an easy game in the Big East,” he said. “I think it’s the hardest alongside the ACC. (The Big East) keeps producing MLS players and when they go (professional), they get replaced by good players coming in.” Conference play for the Blue Demons is no easy road, beginning with a road trip to Marquette Sept. 22 before welcoming reigning Big East champs St. John’s at Wish Field a week later. Other tough matchups include Louisville away and South Florida – a team that went to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament – at home to close the season.

...and Now

The men’s soccer team (1-2-0 as of Sept. 5) opened the season with a 2-1 win over UIC before falling in two straight matches to Western Illinois (2-1) and Western Michigan (1-0). “We’ve made a lot of improvements already this year,” said Blazer of the David Selvaggi is tied for the team-high transition between the two campaigns. “We went 1-1-1 in preseason and 4-1-4-1 formation, however the team started off well with a win against has lined-up in a 4-3-3 in the early part UIC.

Forbes and Brian Hindle have featured in the central midfield positions. The Blue Demons should also receive a boost in the middle of the pitch when junior Ray De Leon regains fitness, having missed most of last season with a season-ending injury following a freshman campaign in which he started 17 of 19 matches.

Season Goals

Regardless of the experience the young team has, the first step in having a successful season is to qualify for the Big East tournament – and that’s never an easy feat according to goalkeeper Eric Sorby, one of the team’s captains. “The Big East is one of the most competitive conferences,” the junior said. “There are a lot of big name schools and good players, but we’ve got good players here that we hope to compete with.”

Both Aguilar and Sorby highlighted the importance of improving the home and away form. Last season the Blue Demons were 5-4 at home (2-2 in the Big East) and 1-6-2 (1-3-1) on the road. “We need to do more to battle for results on the road,” said Sorby. “We’ve been unlucky at home. We’ve put in good performances, but we’ve got to come together as a team and get results.” But improving the record at Wish Field, like playing in the Big East, is easier said than done, according to Blazer. “We’re a Big East team and teams come in excited to play against us,” said Blazer, who enters his 12th year in charge of the program. “Our style is to try and keep the ball countered with high pressure from the team when we don’t. We don’t necessarily rely on physicality and combativeness. All the teams we play are good teams. There’s little room for error.”

Sports. September 10, 2012. The DePaulia 27

"BRUNO" continued from back page South on the South Side of Chicago, never imagining that I would be doing something like this 45 years later. Ray Meyer, for giving me the scholarship to come to DePaul – I would never have gotten to come to DePaul without him. Jeannie Lenti-Ponsetto was huge in this – to this day is the best captain I’ve ever coached. She’s also been a professional mentor of mine, so Jeannie has done so much for me. Then you start thinking about every player, every team I’ve been blessed to coach, all my great assistant coaches through the years... this is what’s going through your mind, the thanksgiving of all these people. And then everybody says ‘I can’t believe coaches don’t get gold medals’...you know what, it’s okay. Just being able to know that you were a part of the staff that won gold, nobody can take that from you. I’ll be able to enjoy this the rest of my life. So the fact that we didn’t get to tour London like my wife and family or go to other events – I’d trade all of that in a heartbeat to be able to have the gold, to know that we were a part of the gold medal-winning staff of the 2012 London Olympics.” DP: Talk about the opportunity you and the team had to meet the president and vice president as well as the entire send-off process. B: “You know, I get emotional when I talk about this, but one of the most impressive parts of the whole trip was when they assembled us in D.C. before being sent off. We’re not going over there as soldiers but as ambassadors of the United States to win in the largest global sporting event. We were fortunate enough to also go to the Arlington Cemetery, where we laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. To stand there and be a part of that ceremony with men and women in our military services, it was simply an experience that can’t be put into words. I mean we’re winning basketball games and these men and women are giving their lives for our country. As for the President, after our game against Brazil at the Verizon Center in D.C., we met with him – there’s a full practice gym inside the arena – so we met with him there. It’s really enclosed, so the only guys that could’ve shot the president were one of us [laughs]. Even the Secret Service was a little bit laid back. It’s not only that we got to meet the president – I mean, we got to meet him formally – but then he spent 15 to 30 minutes just

shooting the breeze with us, which was really cool. I was very self-conscious not to get in any of the pictures, so I don’t have any good pictures of myself and the president, but afterwards I realized that was a mistake to not get a picture with him when you can [laughs]. And then in the evening we charter a plane with the men’s basketball team to Manchester United, so we’re on a plane with LeBron, Kobe, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and all those guys... so that was really a day that I’ll remember forever.” DP: You mentioned that going into the Olympics, walking away with anything but a gold is unacceptable, but how do you manage those expectations and the pressure that comes with them? B: “You work. My management of it is just to work. You know, you have to make sure that when we’re on a flight back to Chicago when this is all said and done, that there’s no stone unturned. You don’t want to be sitting on the flight back home saying ‘I wish I would’ve done this or I wish I could’ve done that,’ so my method is just to outwork it and not let pressure bother you and stay focused on what you intend to do.” DP: You and Team USA really didn’t run into too much trouble against an opponent until your semifinal game against Australia. Talk about that one. B: “Australia was our gold game. They were the one team that could’ve beaten us. They were my scout for the World Championships in 2010, so I’ve been obsessed

DePaul volleyball’s efforts of “digging” themselves out the Big East cellar this year is underway, as the Blue Demons have already started the year 3-3, four wins shy of last year’s season total. With seven new players and seven returners, the Blue Demons have credited their energy and chemistry for their rapid improvement. “Going all in, all out together,” has been the mantra senior Rachel Aumann and the rest of the team have instilled in practice and games. The team has a strong bond this season on and off the court according to Aumann, the strongest it’s been since her arrival in 2009. “This has been a team that has had the most chemistry, even though we have a lot of new players,” said Aumann, the team’s captain and lone senior. Aumann, an outside hitter, finished second on the team last season in kills with 175 and is looking forward to continuing her leadership on the court. “I’ve had a captain position for a couple of years now,” said Aumann. “Being the lone senior, I want to lead a good example for the incoming players and returners.” Aumann and the Blue Demon returners have seen nothing but improvement over the last few years, finishing 4 -26 in 2010 and 7 -22 in 2011. It might be safe to say the Blue Demons see themselves going in the right direction. Head coach Nadia Edwards believes this year’s team has the experience and skill set to be successful, and that in order to achieve positive results it will have to be a team effort. “The quicker the team can come together, and play for each other, the better that they’ll be,” said Edwards. Edwards’ new players this season include transfers Laura Witt (UT San Antonio) and Vesela Zapryanova (Auburn) who each bring top-notch experience to Lincoln Park. “The transfers bring international and domestic experience at the collegiate level,” said Edwards. “Our true freshmen have all come from clubs across the nation and have competed for high school state championships and AU state championships, so the winning mentality is in us. Our goal is to come together and be dominant.” Last week, the Blue Demons competed at the UT Martin Invitational in Martin, Tenn., and finished in second, going 2-1. DePaul defeated UT Martin on their home court in a thrilling 3-2 victory that may have foreshadowed DePaul’s road potential. “It was fun feeding off their crowd. They were getting into it and we were using that as fuel for us,” said Aumann, who finished with four kills that game. Zapryanova finished with a career-high 20 kills and 19 digs against UT Martin, placing her on the All-Tournament team. Junior Allyson Rooks joined Zapryanova on the list after tallying 16 digs against the Skyhawks. The Blue Demons will have an extended stay in Chicago, capped by the three-day Rambler Challenge hosted by Loyola Chicago. DePaul will face USC Upstate Sept. 14 at 11 a.m., then have a two-match day Sept. 15 facing Chicago State at 2 p.m. and Red Line rival Loyola at 7 p.m. With Big East play about two weeks away, the Blue Demons are using these tournaments to prepare themselves for a long and grueling conference schedule. “We have nine matches at [home] and we have a different flavor this year,” said Edwards. “We’re excited and have a lot of energy. When the girls generate energy on the court that’s one thing, but when the crowd comes in and generates it, it takes them to a different level, in terms of playing, celebration and just intensity in general.”

Bringing home the gold

Doug Bruno, head coach of the DePaul women's basketball team, can now add Olympic gold to his extensive coaching résumé. Serving as assistant coach to Olympic champion Team USA and head coach Geno Auriemma, Bruno returned from London a winner with memories that will last a lifetime. The DePaulia sat down with Bruno to discuss his Olympic experience. DePaulia: Coach, sum up your entire Olympic experience and what you gained from this opportunity. Bruno: First of all, it was a great professional and competitive experience. That said, there’s an understanding when you’re coaching USA basketball that you have to win. You can’t come home with silver. So when I say it was a great professional and competitive experience, that’s exactly what I mean – there was no time to go watching any other event, there’s no time to go sightseeing in London – we’re totally focused on getting the gold medal. Then once that actually happened, it was just a great feeling of euphoria for the women and relief for the coaching staff that we had achieved what we’d gone there to do. DP: Talk about the exhibition games you played stateside before going to the Olympics and how that gave you a sense of the kind of talent you had. B: Well this is a four-year process, it’s not just the – we had very few exhibitions. One of the hardest things about coaching in the Olympics is that you just don’t get your players [for very long] to work with them. Whereas China and these other teams have 40 to 60 practice games, we

Doug Bruno with First Lady Michelle Obama. have a total of five. These other women play year-round, so we just don’t get them together as much – I think we had maybe six or seven practices before playing in the actual Olympic Games. That’s what makes what we do hard, is we just have very little amount of time together.

Women’s soccer starts from scratch

By JEREMY MIKULA Senior Writer

Despite being one of the youngest teams in the Big East, there is one word that echoes from the DePaul men’s soccer team this season: experience. The 2012 Blue Demons see the return of nine of 11 starters from last season, losing only winger Matt Leinauer and defender John Jandl to graduation. The team boasts 18 underclassmen, many of whom have a full season of Big East soccer under their belts. Head coach Craig Blazer highlighted that year of experience before the seasonopening 2-1 win against UIC Aug. 24. “The experience guys like Gus (Kyle Gustafson), Thiago (Ganancio), David (Selvaggi), Michael (Stankiewicz) got is huge,” said Blazer. “It’s invaluable.” Other sophomores who saw significant time last season include Anthony Hunter, Curtis Weir and Jake Douglas – each making double-digit appearances.

itself, getting to work with [Team USA head coach Geno] Auriemma – a great coach – our two assistant coaches Marynell Meadors and Jennifer Gillom -- who are two professional coaches – it was just a great part of being a hoops junkie, to get to do this for four years. My connection to Tamika Catchings and Candace Parker, we go back to when they were 10-year-old girls and members of my basketball camp. You’ve got the Maya Moore and Tina Charles connection, who I was head coach of when we were together in 2006 at the FIBA Americas 18-and-under championship and the U19 World Championships in 2007. All of these connections from the inside, the relationships you have with people, are great and made it even more special. And I’ve said this many times before, but when the horn goes off it’s just a euphoric feeling for the players because [winning gold] is a hard thing to do – everybody thinks it’s easy – but all it takes is one team to beat you and you’re a goat. So it doesn’t matter if you’re winning all your games by 30, you specifically have to go into games and beat the teams that can beat you. DP: Describe your emotions once the final buzzer sounded and you were with your team during the medal ceremony. B: After we won and they started getting ready for the medal ceremony, that’s when the nostalgic feeling hit me, the ‘thank you’ feeling of all the people that have put me in a position to be an Olympic coach. You don’t do anything by yourself – there is no self-made man or woman – we’re all helped along the way by a person or groups of people. I thought back to when I started loving basketball, when I was playing at Quigley

After enduring a difficult 3-14-1 season last year, the message to the women’s soccer team was simple: this year is a new beginning. And if the team’s start is anything to go by, that message has been heard loud and clear. Through their first six matches of the season, the Blue Demons posted an impressive 4-1-1 record, including a 2-1 overtime win over Dayton – a team that received NSCAA top 25 votes. “Your start to a season is important because it gives the group confidence,” said head coach Erin Chastain. “It
