In hopes to increase student business activity and to alter the ticketing-only reputation that the Xavier Police have incurred, another parking change will be implemented in the near future: the management of all campus parking matters will be transferred from the Xavier Police Department to Auxiliary Services after Christmas break. “There is a trend in higher education institutions to allow this [change in management] to be developed as a campus business support program,” Tom Barlow, director of Auxiliary Services, said via email. “I believe
universities would like to allow their campus police officers to become more focused on campus safety and support.” With these changes, students will be able to purchase parking passes and pay their parking ticket fines on an online database. Parking passes and fines themselves will also be redesigned. According to Barlow, parking passes will be issued a barcode, which campus parking employees will scan in order to upload the student’s car information online.

According to Wikipedia.com, Sudoku is a “logicbased, combinatorial, number-placement puzzle.” The goal is to fill up the 9x9 square with different numbers so that each row, column, and 3x3 square contains all of the numbers from one to nine without repeating. The name Sudoku means “single number” and was popularized by the Japenese puzzle company Nikoli. Random fact: In June of 2008, five of 12 jurors in an Australian drug related trial were caught playing Sudoku instead of listening to the evidence being presented, causing the trial to be aborted.

project was lobbied until further notice. Barlow did not release a timeline for the development of the convenience store, but claimed that more plans concerning the store should be available in the spring. According to Tom Barlow,
director of Auxiliary Services, a committee was formed this past spring “to look at the feasibility of placing a convenience store on campus.” According to Barlow, if this plan is put into action, it will definitely be considered an improvement of service to students. “The hopes are to allow longer hours and more convenience items to be available on campus to support the students,” Barlow said. Previously, Xavier was home to a convenience store entitled “The Snackateer,” which was run by the Bookstore and an outside company, eFollett. “The Snackateer” was located in the old student center before GSC was constructed. When GSC opened, the convenience store was dissolved into or merged with the Bookstore. Similar to the Coffee Emporium and the X Spot, “the direction [of the convenience store] is to develop another student-managed business program, increasing campus student employment, but with corporate administration and supervision, educational development and financial backing,” Barlow said.

Masters Continued from page 1 committed the University is to helping low-income students earn degrees. The “research” criterion looks at research production and success sending undergraduates on to earn Ph.D.’s. Finally, service represents the University’s ability to give back to the community, taking into account the number of graduates involved in programs such as ROTC, the Peace Corps and other community service programs. “We’re here for our students, and that’s what these qualities recognize,” Chadwick said. “With a combination of academic qualities, the experiences and aspirations students bring here and the Ignatian ideals, we can create an integrated milieu in which students can learn and develop.” Using the Carnegie Classification system of Higher Learning Institutions, Xavier is considered a Masters comprehensive institution, meaning that it awards 40 or more Masters degrees each year in at least three different disciplines. Among other Masters comprehensive universities, Xavier is ranked 14. “We’re always honored to receive external validity of what we do and how well we do it,” Chadwick said. “But we are driven by student learning and development, not by external rankings.”

Student Government Association hopeful despite untraditional situation By Kevin Tighe Campus News Editor Xavier’s Student Government Association (SGA) is excited and hopeful for the 2011-12 academic year, despite the recent resignations from student senate and a lack of election interest during the spring semester of 2011. Traditionally, at this point in the school year, SGA’s student senate is composed of 16 upperclass students and awaiting four freshman to fill the remaining spots on the student board. This year’s senate board, however, is currently composed of 14 upperclass students as two students have recently resigned from their positions. Senior Tim McGrath, an elected write-in candidate during the abnormal spring election, when 16 senators were eligible for 17 spots, resigned during the summer months because of personal reasons, as McGrath said in an e-mail correspondance. Junior and third-term senator Jimmy Geiser resigned during the

In response to what type of students McMorran is looking for with the “fresh” new senators, McMorran said, “a lot of drive and committment to everything.” “This is something good that happens to us. If people don’t want to do it, they shouldn’t be here, but [instead] give the people who do the opportunity to do so and succeed,” McMorran said. SGA has in fact recieved more positive precursors with the upcoming freshmen elections and vacancy appointments as 37 first year applications have been picked up and 20 plus vacancy applications were taken during the past two weeks. Upperclassmen vacancies will be filled by Sept. 9; Senate’s next scheduled weekly meeting and freshmen elections are on Sept. 28 and 29.

Matthew Westgate is an assistant professor in the music department. He is the director of the University’s instrument activities.
XN: Why did you decide to go back to school after being a teacher? MW: I always had the thought that I might like to teach college students. After about the first week of working with undergraduates during my masters I knew for sure. XN: What were your responsibilities during graduate school? MW: Well, I was the only graduate conducting student so I basically had all the responsibilies of an assistant director. I worked with the marching band by writing drill and running rehearsals. I also started my own undergraduate chamber wind ensemble.

Xavier Newswire: What did you do before you came to Xavier? Matthew Westgate: I attended Western Michigan University (WMU) for my undergraduate degree in music education, and then I was a high school band director in South Haven, Mich., for four years before going back to WMU for my graduate degree in conducting. After finishing my masters, I went to the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati for my doctorate.
XN: When was your first year at Xavier? MW: My first year here was actually my last year at CCM. I started out teaching a methods class for graduate students four years ago. Then when they needed to replace the person that was here before me, I came to Xavier in an interim position for one year. They didn’t hire me full-time but told me that they needed someone to run the program. I basically took over the job that I have now, in addition to being a full-time doctoral student. I must have done something right

though because they ended up hiring me. XN: Since you’ve been here have you seen any changes or improvements in the program? MW: Absolutely! Not to toot my own horn but the level of performance has been raised in all the groups; the number of people in the ensembles has increased. When I came there were 23 people in concert band which was barely enough to play. Now, there are over 60. The pep band has a great relationship with the athletic department and the students. XN: So what is your favorite class to teach? MW: I don’t really have a favorite class. One of the challenges and one of the best parts of my job is that I get to be in a bunch of a different groups. If I had to narrow it down, Symphonic Winds would be my top priority because that’s where my training is. XN: What is your favorite thing about Xavier as a whole? MW: Absolutely the students! Students here seem to be a bit more concerned about the world, and I think they’re interesting people. I really enjoy working with interstesting people.
Can one really determine whether a song or a piece of music is “good” or “bad?” This, over the past three years, has been a constant topic of discussion and a point of contention for myself and plenty of others involved in the music department here on campus. Y e t , in today’s world, what we study, known to most as “classical” music is Patrick not really Clark prominent nor listened A & E Editor to by a majority of the public. Does that give us a biased view to what is “good” music? Probably. But, this does not mean that we, by any means, are correct in our judgement. I’ve often thought to myself for lengths of time about this dilemma, though others may disagree with me, I have come to a conclusion. Music, like any other art, is a
human creation, an expression of emotion whether it was composed by Beethoven or Mike Posner. Therefore, I would argue that personal experience is the deciding factor. As a kid, I was never forced into listening to classical music on a regular basis or required to play an instrument. It was just something that appealed to me. My brother, on the other hand, sticks to Rap and R&B because it’s what speaks to him. All the different types of music exist because they appeal and speak to someone. Who has the right to judge whether that is good or bad? I think no one. So if you’re ever asked if a song is good or bad I would ask that you don’t make that distinction but instead decide why you do or do not like it. What makes it appeal to you as an individual? Find that “thing” in the song, whether it’s the beat or the melody or a catchy line.That way, when you hear something that doesn’t appeal to you, you know why. I ask my music colleagues to judge a piece of music for its compositional merit. Base that analysis on compositional techniques rather than just what you hear. Music as a genre deserves more credit than the superficial words of “good” and “bad.” Let it speak and be appreciated. That’s why it exists.

Don’t Tell Anna: History in comedy Joe carriere Staff Writer
At the start of every new school year, students are always looking for entertaining things to do and see. For those of you who like the goofy, offbeat antics of improv comedy, Don’t Tell Anna (DTA) might just be the amusing distraction you need to get away from the daily tedium of classes, homework and all your pre-planned routines. DTA is an all-student, improv comedy group made up of about ten members. They perform every four weeks—typically in Kelly Auditorium in Alter Hall—using viral Facebook campaigns and quirky posters to promote their shows so it is easy for the students to hear about their next performance. Their first show of the year was last Wednesday, Aug. 24 and nearly every seat in the auditorium was filled, as they were for every show in the 2010-11 school year. DTA hasn’t always packed the seats, however, a fact which Luke Giberson, the current leader of the group, remembers well. Giberson has been performing with DTA for three years, and when he start-

ed, the audience never seemed to contain more than 50 members. DTA has built up a sort of cult following at the University in the past couple years, and they also draw a lot of curious first-years to their first few shows. “We’re really popular now; this is an exciting time for us,”
-Paid Advertisement-
Giberson says. The group has had many exciting times, and an interesting history to boot. DTA was started over thirteen years ago by a small group of students with an itch for improv. Don’t Tell Anna was not the original name of the group; it
was packed, and though the group was down three members due to graduation, they still stumbled, screamed, cried and laughed their way through a fun-filled hour of unpredictability. The crowd was very energetic when the group came onto the stage, and the group played a variety of improv games as they fielded ideas from the audience. Some of the scenes were hilarious, some fell a bit flat, but one thing was for certain, DTA took the audience to places they never expected to go. This is the draw of improv, says Giberson. “It’s the joy of being able to g o somewhere y o u don’t go in everyday life.” T h i s year’s group is still coming into its was called Ha Ha Hoff, in photo s cour own, as the t esy o honor of late Xavier president James Hoff, S.J. Their following was small in the beginning, but the group soon gained popularity, which did not sit well with the group’s faculty advisor, Anna. The members of Ha Ha Hoff wanted to continue performing, but did not want Anna to be involved anymore, so they changed their rehearsal times and didn’t tell Anna about any of their shows. It was during this time they adopted their current name, Don’t Tell Anna, but there’s no longer a need for the group to be secretive, as Anna left the university several years ago.

current members are adapting to fill the absence left by three recently graduated members. However, DTA will be in full force with two of three new members at its next show (auditions were held earlier this week), and things will only get crazier when that happens—which, in the business of improv, is a very good thing.

Project SEARCH wins second national award By Molly boes News Editor Project SEARCH has been awarded its second national award with an “Employment Leader of the Year” for having an 80 percent job placement, the highest percentage of job placements in the program for the year. Project SEARCH is a program that started in 1996 at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and has expanded to 160 locations worldwide, including locations in Australia, England, Scotland and Canada. Xavier was the first university to have a Project SEARCH program established and has been helping interns make the transition from high school to the work force. Project SEARCH is aimed towards students who are in their final year of high school between the ages of 18 and 22 with significant disabilities. Xavier accepts 12 interns each year who work for free for a school year developing and enhancing work skills and focusing on communication and problem solving skills. The program on Xavier’s campus has seen a wide range of interns with disabilities, including reading and writing disabilities, autism and cognitive disabilities. According to Trisha Heim, an educational coordinator for Project SEARCH, interns are ideally given three different job opportunities in 12 week increments throughout the year in order to cater to the interns’ strengths.

Two finalists were brought onto Xavier’s campus for two half-days during which they met with the selection committee, gave a presentation, attended an open forum and interviewed with a variety of people including Dr. Kathleen Simons and the staff of McGrath. According to Simons, the committee was looking for a doctor who specialized in internal medicine or was a family physician and would be broadly trained and able to cover a wide variety of situations. Miller attended Brown University from 1978 to 1980 where she studied anthropology and psychology. She received her Bachelor of Arts cum laude from Harvard University in Extensions Studies with a concentration in the social studies and her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Miller has worked for a variety of employers including the Ohio Heart Health Center and Lisa Larkin MD & Associates and received training at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City and at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Boston, Mass. “She has incredible credentials,” Simons said. Miller will run both the morning and afternoon clinics and fillin doctors are lined up for days when Miller is absent. She worked with Health Services in Aug. in order to become acquainted with the campus and she will begin full-time work on Sept. 1. Molly Boes, News Editor Phone: 745-3607 Newswire-News@xavier.edu

Strong weekend for volleyball By john Wilmhoff Staff Writer
This past weekend, Xavier volleyball opened up their season in the Flo Hyman Collegiate Cup in Houston, Texas, winning two out of three matches. The tournament, hosted by the University of Houston, bears the name of the former Houston Cougar great Flo Hyman. Hyman is considered to be the greatest U.S. volleyball player of all time. She led the U.S. National Team to the gold medal match in the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. At age 31, she fatally collapsed while playing in a professional match in Japan, and the tournament is now played annually in her honor to begin each college volleyball season in Houston. On Friday, the Muskies rolled into Houston to face two NCAA Tournament teams from last year. Lipscomb and Central Arkansas.
The Musketeers defeated both of their Friday opponents in three straight sets. On Saturday, they fell to the host school Cougars, who were picked to finish third in Conference USA this season. Xavier played a rotation ten players deep. When asked if head coach Mike Johnson expects to cut down that rotation to fewer players deeper into the season, he said, “I hope not.” “Competition is a fundamental tenent of this program,” Johnson said. “I want every player leaving every practice thinking they’ve earned a spot.” Individually, senior Michelle Matia and redshirt sophomore Alex Smith led the way. Both were named to the AllTournament team. True freshman Aubree Smith, sister of Alex, was also named as the A-10 Rookie of the Week. Johnson is very pleased with the production of his younger
players this season. “We’re really excited for the future of this program,” Johnson said. According to Johnson, he’s also very fortunate to have a senior leader like Matia to guide the younger players along. “Michelle has been a driving force as a leader for us,” Johnson said. Next up for the Musketeers is the Maryland Invitational in College Park, Md. On Friday, Xavier will face Quinnipiac before challenging Virginia Commonwealth University. They will then face the host school, University of Maryland, on Saturday. “The competition [we are facing] relates very well to A-10 conference play,” Johnson said. He says his approach is to schedule the toughest conference games in order to prepare for the A-10. Johnson doesn’t necessarily

worry much about who he is playing each week from a scouting perspective.
“We’re more concerned with what we do. We’re competing against ourselves,” Johnson said.

After two tough losses to start the season, the Xavier women’s soccer team won their first game of the season Friday night. The Musketeers defeated rival Miami (Oh) 2-1 to improve their record to 1-2-0 on the young season. Freshman Alyssa Tindal netted the game-winning goal for the women, which also happened to be her first career goal as a Musketeer. Tindal’s goal came in the 22nd minute on an assist from senior Jessica Brooks. After noticing the back side of the net was empty, Tindal decided to “give it a shot.” Fortunately for Xavier, her shot bent into the upper portion of the goal and put the women up 1-0. Not to be complacent with a one goal lead, the Musketeers responded with another goal in the 37th minute. This insurance goal, which was assisted by Chelsea Burns, came from the foot of sophomore Ashton Green. The RedHawks of Miami were quick to respond, scoring a penalty kick before halftime to cut the Xavier lead to 2-1. The second half was a defensive battle, evidenced by the lack of goals for either team. The Musketeers had a few shots on target but were unable to put any more shots in the back of the net. The same story was true for the RedHawks, who had four shots denied by goalkeeper Katie
Markesbery. Head coach Woody Sherwood was pleased with his team’s ability to execute the techniques learned during practice in a game situation. “This week we implemented some additional attacking options to try to put more pressure on our opponents’ back lines. The team did a great job of buying into this and executed it pretty well this evening,” Sherwood said. According to Sherwood, she was excited for the team’s “well deserved win against a very good Miami team.” The Musketeers look to continue their success as they host the University of Evansville at 7 p.m. on Friday at the Xavier Soccer Complex.

Men’s XU soccer kicks off ‘11 season Men’s soccer takes on Marshall in home opener By sabrina Brown Sports Editor
To kick off the men’s soccer regular season, Xavier will take on the Marshall Thundering Herd at 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Xavier Soccer Complex. The Musketeers played at Marshall University for their home opener last season and tied the Thundering Herd 0-0. Assistant coach Kris Bertsch has high hopes for Thursday’s game. “We expect them to be high tempo. We expect them to be energized and ready to go. It’s our home opener, so we hope that will exceed their energy,” Bertsch said. The men’s soccer team is hoping for a strong turnout for this season opener. “Any first game has a lot of nerves. All the great work we’ve done prior to that doesn’t mean anything. This is where results happen,” Bertsch said. There will also be a beer gar-
den featuring $2 beers offered at the game for those in attendance who are of age. The soccer team has plans of offering this at other major home games as well. The Xooligans plan to be in full attendance at the game. After hosting a rally on the quad on Tuesday, they expect a large crowd. “Our guys are excited. They’re ready to get going and play a match that officially matters and counts towards the standings,” Bertsch said. “They’ve been working hard leading up to this.” Marshall finished last season with a record of 9-5-4. Bertsch states that despite their record, Marshall was a good team with strong players. This season, Marshall lost both of their exhibition games, losing 2-1 to Virginia Military Institute and 5-1 to Pittsburgh. The Thundering Herd opened their season against Wright State and fell to the Raiders 1-0, leav-

ing them with a current record of 0-1. Xavier enters their season opener after finishing 2-0-1 in the pre-season. The Musketeers took
their game against Ohio Wesleyan last week as an opportunity to give all of their players time to work on their game and prepare for this week’s season opener.

A key component for the men’s team this year will be the return of redshirt junior Brad Redford. He tore his ACL in October of last year, causing him to miss the entire season. Redford is on track to play this season, evidenced by a tweet from Coach Mack: “Nice looking over my balcony and seeing Redford can 26 straight 3’s.”
For the third straight year, the women’s basketball team hosted a free event for young girls at the Cintas Center. Over 100 girls and parents were on hand for “Girls Night Out” last Thursday. The particpants were treated to a basketball clinic, tours of the arena, and an autograph session with the players and new coach Amy Waugh.
The men’s and women’s basketball teams joined forces to host “Fan Day” this past Sunday at Fountain Square. Fans were given the chance to interact with players and coaches from each team and younger kids participated in a mini-clinic with Coach Mack and Coach Waugh. Included in the festivities were a free throw shooting contest and a dance contest with the Xavier mascots!
The men’s and women’s cross country teams open their season Friday in Cincinnati at the Mount St. Joseph Invitational. In the preseason coaches’ poll, the men were picked to finish 7th and the women were chosen to finish 10th in the A-10. Both teams return four of their top five runners from the past season, so expectations are high for Xavier.

EDITORIAL
Frustration With Student Ticketing Mounts We at the Xavier Newswire love to hear about students taking power away from Xavier Police as much as the next person. However, will a student-run parking ticket system really help answer the concerns voiced by students about obscenely high (and not to mention entirely too frequent) parking ticket fees? Beginning this year, in hopes to make the system more convenient, fair and equitable, the parking ticket office will be solely under the control of students. Previously, the Xavier Police took time out of their busy days to punish rogue vehicles who dared to park for more than 15 minutes. So, a concern of ours that quickly rises is exactly how “fair and equitable” will the system be? Despite the creation of a “peer-evaluation appeals process,” we believe the program is doomed from the get-go. This model will encourage students on the board to write tickets selectively, perhaps even letting their own friends park anywhere while ticketing anonymous offenders. In addition, it will create a resentment for the ticketing office as students become enraged that their own peers, not some figure of authority, are writing them tickets. Plenty of students resent the police department for the 17 ridiculous or supposedly unjustified tickets they have already had to pay. Why pit students against students? It’s just asking us to create more police notes involving student v. student “altercations.” Of course, there is a case to be made that the Xavier Police should be doing better things with their time than writing parking tickets. We happen to agree, but placing the ticket-writing responsibility solely into the hands of the students may prove to do more harm than good.
Letters to the editor
Opinions People!
Unfortunately, there are no letters to the editor this week. While I, as page editor, find this very disheartening, I am much more perplexed that people do not have opinions. Certainly, people on this campus have opinions, do they not? What if I said I had a loud laugh and it happened to deafen someone? What if my laugh, in its magnitude, happened to disrupt a class and therefore saved a desolate student in a boring class? We want to hear these high quality feelings/emotions/responses. If not, we may or may not reserve our right to become even more provocative in our editorials.

Besides plenty of national attention, there have recent- l y been many moments that have taken the rivalry to another level. In 2008, Xavier star Derrick Brown was ejected in a game that featured six technicals and a stretcher (seriously, it was on an ESPN graphic, so it has to be true) and in 2009, near bedlam ensued when the benches cleared at Cintas Center but cooler heads prevailed. There is no denying that Dayton and Butler are great rivalries that have had special moments throughout the year, but the opportunity and fierceness that is present with the Cincinnati Bearcats makes it the best rivalry at Xavier.
