NAU installs Rita Cheng as 16th president

O

BY AMY OWINGS

n April 23, NAU’s Ardrey Memorial Auditorium slowly filled with community members and soft chatter as the official installation of Rita Hartung Cheng as NAU’s 16th president prepared to commence.

The ceremony began with a procession of NAU students, faculty and community members, including Rita Cheng herself. They were each dressed in traditional graduation robes that signified their level and type of degree through different hoods, caps and velvet stripes on the arms.

The members of the procession who took a seat on the stage next to Cheng included Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) Chair Mark Killian, Flagstaff Mayor Jerry Nabours and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey.

Ducey was the first speaker at the installation and was quick to praise the new president.

“President Cheng and I have met several times since we both took our current offices, and I have seen her tremendous leadership skills firsthand,” Ducey said. “She’s collaborative and energetic, she’s a problem-solver, and she’s wholly devoted to the mission and goals of NAU.” Nabours described Flagstaff and NAU as two collaborative entities that influence and financially support one another. He expressed his pleasure to work with Cheng and presented her with a symbolic gold key to the city.

“President Cheng and I both recognize that what is good for the city is good for NAU, and clearly what is good for NAU is good for the city of Flagstaff,” Nabours said. “So, welcome and congratulations President Cheng, it is a pleasure to share jurisdictions with you.”

Members of the faculty and student body also spoke of Cheng with warm regard. see CHENG pg. 4

t doesn’t feel real yet.

As we work on our second-to-last issue of The Lumberjack, and basically the last for me as the guy in charge down here, I realize there’s nine days until I graduate. And like most in my position, I have mixed feelings about leaving this place.

Flagstaff has become my home for the last four years, and NAU will always have a special place in my heart, but I can’t lie about how excited I am to finally get the hell out of this place and start a new chapter of my life.

My time here at the paper has been nothing short of awesome, and I’ve acquired a skill and knowledge that has helped me become a much better journalist than I was before coming to Flagstaff.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my tenure VINCENT at NAU, but I am looking forward to moving across the PEÑA country to pursue a graduate journalism degree at my dream EDITOR-IN-CHIEF school, Nebraska. Granted I’ll be in the Midwest, which will be quite different from Arizona, but I know it will bring a whole new array of opportunities.

But in lieu of this, I’d like to congratulate anyone who is graduating from here and starting a new chapter in their life. I will be passing the proverbial torch off to the next editors-in-chief, Jasmyn Wimbish and Mitchell Forbes.

The Lumberjack will be in good hands with the two of them, and I have every confidence the paper will only improve under them, and I wish them and the rest of the staff the best of luck in the next semester and beyond.

It’s been real, y’all.

Thanks for reading.

News from CHENG on front

President of the Faculty Senate Astrid Klocke shared the story of the first phone conference members of NAU faculty shared with Cheng, and said that even through her voice, her energy and enthusiasm was apparent.

ABOR Chair Mark Killian then performed the official installation of Cheng amid claps and cheers from the audience, after which point Cheng took her place at the podium for a speech.

“It’s an honor to stand before you as the 16th president of NAU,” Cheng said.

In her speech, Cheng expressed her gratitude for the

support she has received from both the university and her friends and family.

“I’ve been heartened and humbled since my first days on campus, and . . . I’ve met so many amazing people in such a beautiful setting,” Cheng said. “We must view ourselves as something much greater than the campus. Our story is not just about us as an institution, it’s about the people. Making decisions with this in mind can help us adjust in changing times and continue to do great things.”

Cheng also discussed the importance of maintaining state-of-the-art buildings and resources for students as well as close relationships between professors and students even as student enrollment continues to climb. She praised the

Marijuana supporters attempt to legalize in Arizona

A

BY BRIANNA FIELDS

rizona supporters of legalizing recreational marijuana use filed the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act on April 17. According to the Arizona Republic, the bill would allow people 21 and over to possess up to one ounce and grow up to six plants in their home without a license.

The bill would set up a Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control that would have the power to regulate marijuana cultivation, manufacturing, testing, transportation and selling.

The bill would also allow local governments to regulate and ban marijuana stores, while a 15-percent tax would be implemented on all retail sales that would go toward funding education.

Several states, including Washington and Colorado, have already legalized recreational marijuana, but it still remains a controversial issue.

“I probably would vote to legalize it just because I feel like people are going to do it anyway. So, you might as well make it legal and put regulations on what you can do with it,” said freshman exercise science major Ashley Beebe.

Being able to control the marijuana market is a big benefit when it comes to legalizing it recreationally, but not everyone

thinks it can be done.

Freshman secondary education major Amberly Ruis does not agree with legalizing marijuana.

“I don’t think it should be legal because as soon as they get it legalized I feel like more people are just going to be doing it. Even if there are restrictions, there will be people who will misuse it and still find a way to get around it,” Ruis said.

It is hard to tell what the effects of legalizing recreational marijuana will be and how successfully it can be regulated.

Colorado is an example of what might potentially happen in Arizona should marijuana be legalized.

It has been a year since adults in Colorado were allowed to buy marijuana from regulated dispensaries and cultivate their own plants. According to state data, charges for marijuana possession are down 80 percent since 2010. Data from the National Incident Based Reporting System showed there was a 41-percent decrease in drug arrests.

Colorado brought in more than $40 million in taxes from marijuana sales, which has gone to youth drug prevention.

There has been no increase in traffic fatalities in Colorado and unemployment rates are still low according to the Huffington Post.

“I know that in Colorado they haven’t had issue’s with high

driving and all the tax money they get goes to the schools which has really improved education,” Beebe said. “I think if we did something like that then we wouldn’t have to pay so much for university. The money could go to public schools ‘cause I know a lot of funding has been cut.”

Arizona legalized medical marijuana in 2010 and the D.C.based Marijuana Policy Project is hoping to expand on that in 2016.

The Marijuana Policy Project, a national organization committed to reforming marijuana policy, has set its sights on 2016 because its members are hoping the presidential election will bring younger voters more likely to support legalization to the polls.

The bill states that legalizing marijuana is in the state’s best interest as it will free up police resources so they can focus on violent crimes and those involving private property. The bill will only reach voters if 150,642 signatures are collected in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana.

“I feel like now that marijuana is becoming legalized, it’s less of a big deal and more like drinking. It’s not as taboo anymore,” said freshman biology major Taylor Hamby.

If it makes it to the ballot, it will ultimately be up to voting citizens to decide whether Arizona will be the next state to legalize recreational marijuana.

express their opinions on the tuition proposals. The majority of the students who spoke expressed discontent over the state budget cuts but supported the moderate increases to the universities’ tuition.

Board of Regents proposes cheaper tuition for DREAMers T

BY JAMES GINGERICH

he Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) is taking a step toward granting those Arizona students who do not qualify for in-state tuition, including DREAMers, a more affordable, if not equitable, tuition rate.

A proposal put forward by ABOR April 20 would allow students who attended Arizona high schools for at least three years — who are not legal residents — the chance to pay a new non-resident tuition rate that would be 50 percent higher than in-state tuition.

Currently, those in Arizona under 2012’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy must pay out-of-state tuition despite the fact that many have lived in Arizona for the majority of their lives. This is a point of contention that activists like Ana Rodriguez have been working to rectify.

“I think that the regents are starting to see the real effects that a policy change can have on the public universities and their revenue,” Rodriguez said, a student at Pima Community College and DACA recipient. “We are talking of a potential 50,000 people that could take advantage of this opportunity.”

Rodriguez is citing a report by the Migration Policy Institute, which estimates that nearly 50,000 Arizona inhabitants are eligible for DACA, with nearly 50 percent having already applied. Creating a more affordable path to a traditional four-year college education for this segment of the community could potentially infuse Arizona’s university system with desperately needed revenue.

“The proposal is about giving the opportunity of education to young people in our state whom we have

already invested many years of education in,” said Director of Latin American Studies at NAU Robert Neustadt. “Since 2006, we have effectively and financially been keeping DREAMers from receiving a college education, and that is incredibly counterproductive in terms of the growth and success of Arizona, both economically and socially.”

The 2006 date is in reference to Proposition 300, a referendum passed by Arizona voters nine years ago that prevents state money from being invested in the education of those without either citizenship or a legal immigration status.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich cited the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service in a statement as saying “Deferred Action does not confer lawful status upon an individual,” and as such, Brnovich argues, those here under DACA do not have a legal immigration status and do not qualify for in-state tuition.

However, Rodriguez contends that Arizona law does not adequately define “lawful status.”

“Arizona universities use a list of documents that can be used to prove lawful presence, and DACA work permits are on this list,” Rodriguez said.

This mindset is what led Maricopa County Community Colleges (MCCC) to begin offering in-state tuition to DACA recipients in 2013, resulting in an on-going lawsuit filed by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office against the MCCC board.

The regents are divided on the matter, and while Chairman Mark Killian believes what MCCC is doing violates Proposition 300, he states the ABOR proposal avoids any breach in the law.

Killian argues that by setting the rate at 50 percent

higher than in-state tuition the proposal ensures that no state money is being used to pay for the education of those who qualify for the non-resident tuition rate. Nonetheless, DACA recipients like Rodriguez continue to fight in the hope they someday can pay in-state tuition.

“I have been living in Arizona for 14 years and this is where I graduated elementary, middle and high school,” Rodriguez said. “I have lawful presence and have been paying taxes since 2013, so I deserve to have the opportunity to pay in-state tuition at the state universities.”

It is not the first time a proposal of this nature has been introduced to ABOR. In 2013, a measure that would have allowed DREAMers to pay 110 percent of in-state tuition failed to pass with only two regents supporting the proposal. Yet Rodriguez stresses that the political climate in 2015 is far more conducive to such a proposal than it was two years ago.

“There is more community awareness and community backing for this proposal than the one that was introduced back in 2013,” Rodriguez said. “There was also a fear from the regents that their budget would be sliced, and due to the recent budget cuts to the public institutions by the Arizona legislature there is a lot less at stake than before.”

The Board must hear all proposals twice before they can be voted on. The first hearing is scheduled for May 4 and the final hearing will be in the start of June when a vote is expected to take place.

If the proposal passes and is upheld legally, under expected NAU tuition rates, DREAMers will pay around a third less in tuition than they currently pay.

NAU Food Recovery Network eliminates campus dining waste

BY AMY OWINGS

Hungry mouths in the Flagstaff area are now being fed with leftover food from campus dining operations, thanks to a new program at NAU that aims to eliminate food waste.

The NAU chapter of the Food Recovery Network (FRN) was initiated in October by senior environmental science major Elena Greenberg. It stems from the national level of the Food Recovery Network, which works with over 110 universities across the country to recover campus food that would normally go to waste and donate it to those in need.

Greenberg applied to the network after studying the issue of food waste in her environmental studies courses and her work with Louie’s Cupboard, NAU’s campus food pantry.

“That’s been a huge project for me throughout college . . . connecting the dots between food waste and hunger,” Greenberg said. “In Flagstaff it’s a really big issue, so I really wanted to do something.”

The Network helped Greenberg connect with NAU’s campus dining, which was happy to participate in the new project.

Casey Fisher, the director of strategic planning and marketing for Campus Dining, said the university had been wanting to develop a way to donate leftover food, especially food that isn’t shelf-stable and thus must be donated within a matter of hours.

“It may seem simple to just donate food, but there is a lot of liability and safety concerns any time you are handling, transporting or storing prepared food,” Fisher said. “Sodexo . . . works with the Food Recovery Network . . . to ensure that proper food handling procedures are followed even after the food donation has left our kitchens.”

The 50-plus volunteers of the program pick up leftover food from Cabrizo Mexican Grill, Einstein Bros Bagels and certain platforms in the HotSpot and DüB to deliver to two local food banks. These food banks include the Flagstaff Family Food Center and Sunshine Rescue Mission.

The volunteers pick up the food nearly every day around 2:30 p.m., which allows the food to arrive at the food banks before the daily hot meal at 4 p.m. The type of food handed over by the dining establishments include veggie trays, rice, bagels or anything

else that will not used by the end of the day.

The donated food is never pre-bought and is either fresh or frozen. Food is only donated if it will not be used at a later time.

“Our staff identifies what food can be donated, labeled and stored in the togo trays for the FRN volunteers,” said Cat Sullivan, the sustainability specialist for Campus Dining. “Staff is . . . trained in how to safely handle the food in either cooling it or maintaining the proper temperature, and labeling requirements and storing.”

If warm, the food will only last for a few hours and must be quickly transported to the food banks.

“We have about four hours . . . between when it’s sitting in the warm room and when it has to be delivered and eaten,” Greenberg said. “With Einsteins, it works

a little differently because they freeze the bagels from the day before.”

As soon as the food is delivered to the food banks, the food is placed out for the daily hot meal. Some food, such as the frozen bagels, is given to the local men’s shelter.

The Flagstaff Family Food Center (FFFC) says the leftover food delivery has been a necessary addition to its daily hot meal.

“Anytime that we can add to the meal it’s always a pleasure, especially something that . . . we wouldn’t necessarily put together ourselves. It’s a treat for the diner as well as the cook,” said Colleen Brochheuser, the operations manager and senior cook for the FFFC. The FFFC currently serves about 300

people during its daily hot meal alone.

Brochheuser said that the center’s clients include the working poor, the homeless and children from the surrounding area.

Currently, the program transports all of its food in disposable containers such as plastic bags and aluminum trays, but Greenberg is applying for a grant from the FRN to upgrade to Tupperware and reusable containers.

Along with receiving reusable containers, Greenberg hopes that the FRN can also expand to include more dining establishments.

The FRN is always accepting new volunteers, especially those with cars who can help with the transportation of the food.

Lady Justice needs glasses

“T

he tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,” wrote Thomas Jefferson.

Just as many people need a jolt of caffeine to wake up in the morning, democracies occasionally need a jolt of rioting to remind them of the undercurrent of social problems raging under the surface. The jolts are currently running through Baltimore after an African-American man named Freddie Gray died in police custody after receiving fatal injuries to his spine and voice box.

Addressing the nation about the rioting in Baltimore, President Obama said, “We don’t just pay attention to these communities when a CVS burns, and we don’t just pay attention when a young man gets shot or has his spine snapped, but we’re paying attention all the time because we consider those kids our kids.”

KEVIN Riots expressing frustration at the unfair treatment of MORROW African-Americans go back a long time. In the era after civil Opposition rights many of the problems stem from unfair treatment Editor of African-Americans by law enforcement. In 1992, Los Angeles descended into six days of uncontrolled rioting after a mostly white jury acquitted five white police officers of beating Rodney King, despite video evidence showing the attack. The riots led Los Angeles to appoint the city’s first black police commissioner who brought in many policing reforms.

Rioters in Baltimore and Ferguson are reminding Americans that the United States is still struggling to achieve racial equality, particularly in the justice system. Justice is supposed to be blind, but at the moment it is not seeing the system of oppression that law enforcement has been exerting onto racial minorities. Even here in Arizona, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is in ongoing legal hearings for the Maricopa County Sheriff ’s Office’s routine use of racial profiling against those suspected of coming to the U.S. illegally.

Whether or not Rodney King, Michael Brown or Freddie Gray committed crimes, they were black men abused in a system of white police officers. These instances are just prominent examples for a community that feels voiceless and silenced. Time, in an article called “In Defense of Rioting,” wrote that riots are necessary for social evolution and that, “if we can separate the underlying racial tensions that clearly exist in our country from the looting and rioting of select individuals, we can continue to ignore the problem.”

Most of the formal elements of racism in this country have been eliminated, but our society is not yet color blind and racial inequality still exists in employment, housing, education and representation.

Yes, we can change the channel from CNN’s coverage of the rioting in Baltimore to the basketball game, but the problem is not going away and those who continue to ignore it are just as bad as the racist police officers.

Advantages of coffee: in moderation

C

offee is a universal drink, favored for that morning wake-up call. It has been around since at least the 15th century in Sufi monasteries.

After Pope Clement VII gave his blessing for its use, coffee became popular in Europe beginning in 1600.

Today, there are so many varieties of coffee drinks that anyone who is indecisive has a challenging time choosing from the menu at a coffee shop.

Coffee provides an exhilarating dose TZVI of caffeine to the brain that energizes SCHNEE people to face the challenges of the day.

The Coffee also serves a social purpose as Thinker people often enjoy conversation over a cup of that dark aroma-laden, rich drink. Apparently, it is also nature’s perfect answer to the blues.

According to Time, “[caffeine] may actually act like a mild anti-depressant by tweaking levels of happy hormones like serotonin and dopamine.” The article, “How Coffee Could Save Your Life,” cites a study by Michel Lucas indicating that caffeine can be linked to “lowered risks of depression and suicide.”

Regardless of this positive news, it is good to be cautious, because too much coffee could lead to a diagnosis of caffeine intoxication. Signs of “restlessness, nervousness, excitement,” increased heart rate and “rambling speech” are signs that the consumer has had one too many cups of the caffeinated drink — signs that one should lessen his or her coffee intake.

Keep in mind that if one tries to kick a coffee habit for good, one might be subject to “caffeine withdrawal” subjecting oneself to headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, depression and other symptoms. The symptoms disappear in a brief amount of time because they are a “natural response to stopping caffeine,” according to clinical psychologist Robin Rosenberg.

It is important to note that moderation is key; “caffeine is a highly addictive compound,” according

to the Global Healing Center. Therefore, one should be careful to watch one’s consumption. A morning jolt or two should be enough to start the day. However, one should to think twice about having that triple white mocha in the evening before a study session.

Overall, it would seem that coffee, a drink derived from the coffee bean that grows in nature from the Coffea plant, is more conducive for studying on a regular basis than energy drinks. Whereas coffee is natural, those drinks contain disproportionate amounts of caffeine and other chemicals. The effects of energy drinks can be serious and even health-threatening.

A New York Times article reported that the effects of high-caffeine energy drinks on children and young adults may include “heart palpitations, high blood pressure and even cardiac arrest and death.” This is not a risk that anyone should consider in order to prevent sleep.

A typical cup of coffee contains about 80 milligrams of caffeine. An energy drink such as a 14-ounce Monster contains 240 milligrams. According to a separate New York Times article, this brand may have led to five deaths, including a 14-year-old Maryland teenager who died “from a heart arrhythmia after drinking large cans of Monster Energy on two consecutive days.”

Coffee is by far the friendlier choice to stay awake for those upcoming late-night study sessions.

Additionally, coffee may be better than consuming soda, inasmuch as with soda the added effects of sugar take their toll on the body and mind. Soda has no nutritional value, instead containing cancerous caramel color.

Rather than subject oneself to the effects of sodas or energy drinks, it is better to drink coffee, with a healthier amount of caffeine that will still allow one to get some sleep before that first final exam in the morning.

U.S. destined for victory Putting the fast back in fast food

S

ummer is almost here, which for some means tanning on the beach, outdoor adventures and hours in airplanes, but for me, it marks the start of the 2015 Women’s World Cup. This year for the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT), it is about revenge.

If you don’t remember, Japan took the title from the U.S. on a penalty shootout after being tied 2-2 after extra time. The USWNT went 2-1 in its bracket, placing second behind Sweden, and Japan also went 2-1 in its bracket, placing second behind England. In reality, Brazil should have beaten the U.S. and knocked them out in the quarterfinals, but with the perseverance and determination that coach Jillian Ellis’ team has shown, nothing was going to stop the U.S. from coming out on top — except awful refereeing and a penalty shootout.

Four years ago, I witnessed one of the most stressful CHEYANNE women’s soccer games in the tournament. It was a MUMPHREY moment of equal parts pride for advancing that far, Multitalented anxiety for playing in the final again, and excitement because we were so close. In the 117th minute, Japan got back in the game. They went into penalty kicks, and unfortunately victory was not the U.S.’s fate.

Eight out of the 24 teams that qualified are new to the senior Women’s World Cup and should make the tournament exciting this year. Of the other 16 teams, Japan, U.S., Brazil and England are expected to do well.

Japan will be defending its title as 2011 World Cup champions and the U.S. will be fighting to take the title it believes it deserved four years ago. England, after making it to the quarterfinals the past three tournaments, will still be a contender — as will Brazil, one of the more talented teams. With Marta at the forefront, Brazil continues to impress.

However, they need to get the whole team to support, and they might just make a statement this year.

With six host cities spreading across nearly 6,000 miles of Canadian land, the 2015 World Cup will attract visitors from across the globe. It has been over a decade since the Women’s World Cup has been played on North American soil, so it is expected to draw supporters, fans and fútbol enthusiasts from across the U.S., Mexico and of course Canada.

As a former female footballer and fan of our national team, I am expecting a trophy this year.

“It’s been so long since the last World Cup we brought home. And we know that,” said U.S. player Alex Morgan in a Los Angeles Times article. “We were so close last time.” And I know all of the players suiting up to represent our nation are thinking in the same way.

We truly are in good hands and the countdown has begun to attaining the title in the 2015 World Cup. In a little over a month, you will find most soccer fans in front of the television, if not in Canada, watching the USWNT take on Australia in Winnipeg Stadium, and then the journey to the top will really begin.

The USWNT is in Group D, which includes Australia, Sweden and Nigeria. I have high expectations for our national team; however, we’ve historically had a problem with teams from Africa, and Sweden tested us in the 2011 World Cup. Thus, it will definitely be a battle to claim the 2015 World Cup, but if victorious, it will be a battle won and nothing is better than that golden trophy, bragging rights and the pride that will be felt back home as representatives of this great nation. God bless America.

ig news hit the lunch hour this week when Nation’s Restaurant News announced Chipotle will be teaming with Postmate to sell burritos by delivery. Postmate is an Uber-esque delivery system where the employees provide their own vehicles and are summoned by a mobile app. Could joining forces with Chipotle be just what both companies need to break the next level of income?

Actually, Chipotle is already near the top of sales in the fast-food industry, ranking sixth, according to Forbes. Due to issues with pork supplies since then, Chipotle has struggled to maintain positive growth. However, company executives are pleased with the restaurant’s performance despite the supply DALTON issue, which should be resolved soon.

DAVIDSON The good news for environmentally The Pokémaster conscious food lovers is no matter what happens to the usual supply of meat, a Chipotle spokesperson stated they “would rather not serve pork at all, than serve pork from animals that are raised in this way.”

Chipotle animals are grass-fed and antibiotic and steroid free.

However, this sort of supply problem may persist for Chipotle in the future. It is certainly much more vulnerable to it than other companies who see no problem taking advantage of any supplier. If Chipotle is to remain competitive through such crises without alienating stockholders who become wary of supply issues, it has to learn a new trick. This is where delivery comes in.

While pizza companies have been in the delivery business for decades, the fad of Jimmy John’s by delivery has been very popular at lunch despite the company’s relative youth. While Jimmy John’s certainly makes excellent sandwiches, their prices are much higher than Subway’s, and there are simply fewer locations. What is making Jimmy John’s competitive in local fast-food scenes is the option for fast delivery, making sales to customers who are too busy, too lazy or otherwise kept from traveling to a nearby sandwich shop. According to one store’s general manager,

the company apparently rakes in approximately 30 to 40 percent of its sales from delivery orders.

Now, things get much spicier when Jimmy John’s numbers are converted into Chipotle numbers. The premiere Mexican-style fast food chain is on a track to overtake its competitors despite its disadvantage in using unconventional supply methods. The use of a delivery system comes at almost no risk to the company at large because it can simply drop the service at any point. Using a third-party company, such as Postmate, effectively removes the permanent responsibility from Chipotle. It also gives the restaurant an opportunity to use a service that is proven to work for other companies in some form.

Not only is this a smart decision for Chipotle right now, it appears to be just in time. Starbucks is also starting a trial-run delivery system in Seattle and New York, according to Nation’s Restaurant News. Therefore, this trend to switch toward delivery service is not something Chipotle is taking advantage of alone. It appears to be a greater trend that may sweep through most of the fast-food industry (rest in peace, Jimmy John’s, when Subway follows suit). If the entire fastfood industry slowly transitions to a delivery system, then Chipotle simply cannot afford to be left behind. A more accessible, cheaper version of Mexican fast food could put Chipotle off the map, so it needs to get into this fad before it is forced out of the spotlight.

For all of these reasons, it is not just a smart decision but a necessary one for Chipotle to offer delivery services.

With the company’s assembly-line style of preparation, a delivery car can be fed quickly and easily, and there is no reason a burrito bowl cannot be kept as nicely as a pizza, a sandwich or a cup of coffee during a short delivery. Not to mention with over 1,000 Chipotle locations nationwide, there is hardly a chance of a customer being out of range of delivery within the 37 qualified states. While only 67 cities will be testing this new delivery system, it would be surprising to see the concept not brought to all Chipotle locations around the nation very soon. Delivery is the new era of fast food.

Embryo manipulation

W

hen the idea of genetically engineering humans is brought up, many are likely to think of dystopian science-fiction novel futures in which everything is disturbingly too perfect until the underlying problems of unfettered scientific advancement are presented in allegory. New technology in the field of genetics has opened up vistas of potential for manipulating human embryos as we see fit. Modifications to one’s genetic code could be preventative in many diseases that have known genetic inheritance, but it could also be used for more cosmetic purposes such as changing a child’s eye color. Furthermore, these new traits could be inherited by subsequent generations.

Now, this technology is becoming more easily accessible and has been used on animal embryos as well as adult human cells, questions of ethics must be addressed. Human curiosity is hard to quell, and Chinese scientists have recently performed preliminary genetic manipulation experiments on unviable AUSTIN SHANNON human embryos (embryos that cannot result in live birth). These The Scientist experiments involved 85 embryos. The goal was to precisely alter a gene in every cell with no apparent damage to the rest of the DNA. Every tested embryo failed. Many people agree this demonstrates that the technology is not ready for human embryo application, while others may think the parameters of the experiments in question could be changed to increase efficacy.

Human application of this technology has undoubtedly sparked the interest and curiosity of many. Therein lies the worry. Beyond all of the questionable ethics involved in getting to a point of efficacy, anyone who develops a reliable and safe method of manipulating human embryonic DNA will be met with both great acclaim and outrage. It would potentially provide huge advancement in the mitigation of debilitating hereditary diseases, but it would open the door for all kinds of genetic manipulations that could have unpredictable and potentially harmful effects on society and later generations.

Many people are worried about situations of someone genetically manipulating their developing child to have specific characteristics only to have the child emerge with unforeseen complications, increasing suffering or meeting a tragic end. This technology could also have broader effects by creating a world in which only the people who have money will be able to utilize it, thus amplifying class differences. Not to mention all of the people with a barely definable belief in a soul that could presumably be affected by such manipulation.

It is at times like these I feel many people are inclined to condemn science and to consider its practitioners as unethical sociopaths. In reality, the majority of scientists find ethical practices to be highly important to any scientific endeavor.

We are all curious about the world around us and science is merely the process we use to learn about it. Whether the process is used in an unethical way is not the fault of the process, but the fault of the person using it. Letting topics such as embryonic genetic manipulation negatively affect how you feel about science is akin to blaming the knife in a stabbing.

Many people, both scientists and non-scientists alike, are concerned about the implications this technology may have. Curiosity and the potential for worldwide acclaim could not be higher now that it has already been used on human embryos. It is for these reasons that further studies should be highly regulated until we can define what it means to us and how to approach it with the utmost care.

As we have seen before, many scientific advancements have potential to be both good and bad. Just as nuclear energy is tainted by the destructive force of nuclear weapons, so too is it easy to disregard the potential merits of this technology in lieu of our fears about it. Even though these preliminary experiments are not promising, there is little doubt this procedure will become a reality in the coming decades. What we need is to be ready for it with strong, ethically conscious regulation to maximize benefits and reduce harm.

Animal abuse should stop right meow

C

ompanies in the United States are constantly trying to find new ways to advance their products and technologies, yet they are still stuck in the past when it comes to testing their products. Many cosmetic companies, such as L’Oréal and Johnson and Johnson, are still using innocent animals to test their products’ safety before selling them to people. These practices are outdated and unnecessary due to advancements in the industry. Each year, too many animals are harmed and killed in laboratories because of antiquated testing.

A few of the animals commonly used to test include: mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. In the U.S., a large RACHEL percentage of the animals used in testing, DEXTER The Initiator such as laboratory-bred rats and mice, are not counted in official statistics and receive no protection under the Animal Welfare Act. According to the Humane Society of the United States, common tests include skin and eye irritation tests, where chemicals are rubbed onto the shaved skin or dripped into the eyes of restrained rabbits without any pain relief. This includes repeated force-feeding studies lasting weeks or months to look for signs of general illness or specific health hazards such as cancer or birth defects.

One of the more controversial tests is the practice of lethal-dose tests, in which animals are forced to swallow large amounts of a test chemical to determine the dose that causes death. After the animals have served their purpose, they are killed, normally by asphyxiation, neck-breaking or decapitation.

These harsh and appalling tests performed on animals are not needed because there are alternatives. Cosmetic companies can easily stop testing on animals by creating products with many of the thousands of ingredients already deemed safe to use.

Another possible replacement for these practices

would be to use tests which have been proven to be safe and produce reliable results. According to the Humane Society, there are nearly 50 different alternative methods and testing strategies that have been developed. Testing should change because of the differences between humans and animals used in testing. The results produced can give inadequate information when applying animal reactions to human diseases and drug responses.

With new technological advances, non-animal alternatives are actually even more effective than animal testing, producing more accurate information applicable to human cells. Tests using EpiSkin, EpiDerm and SkinEthic, which are tissue models composed of artificial human skin, can save thousands of rabbits each year from painful skin corrosion and irritation tests.

Across the Atlantic, Europe is paving the way to protect animals and prevent their use in cosmetic testing.

Currently, the European Union is placing bans on all animal testing for cosmetic products and the sale of all newly animal-tested cosmetics. The U.S. needs to follow Europe’s lead and impose similar laws. Luckily, there is already a bill being introduced. The Humane Cosmetics Act, if enacted, would ban animal testing for cosmetics and also prohibit the import and sale of products tested on animals. Until the time comes when the Humane Cosmetic Act is enacted, it is up to the consumer to convey to companies that they prefer cruelty-free cosmetics.

Cosmetic testing on animals is an inhumane and outdated practice. It is simply unacceptable and there are many other alternatives that can be used to prevent such methods.

With today’s new technology, there are more safe and effective tests to ensure a product’s safety than the archaic trials through which animals are forced. The pain and suffering these innocent animals face everyday is not worth the time and money spent using these outmoded practices.

GOODWILL Fashion Show Secondhand clothing for a firsthand cause

BY KYNDALL ARNOLD

P

ops of colors, bold accessories and defined silhouettes graced the runway of Goodwill of Northern Arizona Second Runway Community Fashion Show and Shopping Extravaganza April 25. The High Country Conference Center was packed with Flagstaff locals and the room was filled with music, applause and laughter. Cameras were constantly flashing and heads were turning as models strutted past the audience in fashionable, yet affordable outfits.

NAU students, the principal of Coconino High School, the head of the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce, the Flagstaff Chief of Police and his wife were some of the people who modeled the clothes.

NAU alumna Ashley Anthony is a human resources generalist for Goodwill. Her job was to send out emails to those who were interested in participating in the show and to organize all of the models, as well as being a model herself.

“There were a lot of emails being sent out to let everyone know when the show was,” Anthony said. “We had to pull clothing from the store and had a fitting process, where the models would come in and we would get them fitted in the right

category.”

The outfits the models wore were for sale and the MCs announced the values of the outfits, many of which were under $40.

Each section of the runway show had a theme. There were casual, formal and throwback sections which showcased outfits inspired from different decades. The show had everything from current spring trends to a 1920s wedding dress.

Model Shelbie Hovland worked the runway in the vintage 1920s wedding dress for the formal section of the show.

“My mom had a lot to do with me modeling,” Hovland said. “She is the human resources director at Goodwill. She asked me to do a favor for her and I said ‘you betcha.’ My mom works at the store and she picked a few things out for me and I tried the dress on and fell in love with it.”

In between the runway shows, Flagstaff Goodwill employees were shown on large projector screens placed around the room. The videos talked about the different programs that Goodwill offers and the benefits of these programs.

“I loved seeing it all come together because the team put so much hard work and effort into this event,” said senior strategic communication major and intern for Goodwill Corey Permann.

“My favorite part of the night was the videos. They really showcase Goodwill’s culture and what the company does.”

The grand finale featured designs from several students of the Coconino Association for Vocations, Industry and Technology (CAVIAT) program. The students took clothes from Goodwill and re-created them into new fashion pieces.

Flagstaff High School senior Shantel Bedonie is the vice president of the CAVIAT program and one of several students who showcased their designs.

“I’m required to participate in the show, but I also felt really confident about the designs that I created for the show and wanted to show them off,” Bedonie said. “I got most of my inspiration from Vogue magazines and my teacher gave me helpful tips about what I could do to improve my designs.”

The Goodwill Fashion Show and Shopping Extravaganza was open to the public with tickets priced at $75, or $30 with a student ID. Attendees were able to purchase raffle tickets for prizes such as a luxury three-day, two-night stay at Harrah’s Hotel, gift cards to Country Host, Picazzo’s Organic Italian Kitchen, Marshall’s, Buffalo Wild

Wings and Red Lobster, gift baskets and more, all of which were of $100 value or more.

In addition to the raffle ticket prizes, the MCs auctioned off luxury items and asked for donations through the night. All of the proceeds went toward supporting Goodwill job training and employment programs.

Miss Cleo’s Tea Party transforms the Murdoch Community Center

he soft clinking of delicate teacups and quiet chatter filled the room. Women sat at tables in elegant dresses with wide-brimmed hats to complement their outfits. Little girls sat in their Sunday best, painting teacups and enjoying the company of others in the community.

On April 26, the Murdoch Community Center hosted its second Miss Cleo’s Tea Party event to raise funds for the Murdoch Center. This community center was previously the location of Dunbar School, the first AfricanAmerican school in Flagstaff, and still stands as a historic site. Currently the building is used as a preschool and community center.

Flagstaff resident and Murdoch Community Center committee member Sharon Gooding was excited for the tea party event.

“We’ve been planning for this event since last year,” Gooding said. “As soon as last year’s tea party event was over, we really took some time to just reflect on the event and the successes and things that we wanted to improve.”

One of the main elements they changed was the events.

The previous year offered a hat-decorating station for young females attending the party while this year there was a teacup-painting station.

“We hope that this will be an annual event,” Gooding said. “This year we have a hat competition, last year we didn't. So we wanted to make sure with every year we do something a little bit different.”

Not only are the events different from last year, but the raffle prizes also changed. This year, local restaurants contributed to raffle prizes, such as gift cards to the local restaurants Tinderbox Kitchen and Annex.

“It's just really an awesome opportunity for people to socialize,” Gooding said. “There's actually no agenda.

Rather than events with a formal sort of delivery, we decided that we didn't want to do that.”

The participants came to the event center, found their seat and enjoyed a cup of tea with finger sandwiches, scones and other donated delicacies. All food and prizes were donated for the event. Senior hotel and restaurant management majors Jasmine Howell and Bianca Bracero coordinated the event.

“The committee members were able to take care of everything [and] get everything planned out, then we coordinated the event,” Howell said. “They helped us out with little things but our goal is to just let them sit down and enjoy their tea and enjoy the party so we're pretty much coordinating the event.”

Howell and Bracero had been planning the event since

it was presented to them in January, as an assignment for their event management class. They put everything together for the event, from setting the tables to decorating the walls, as well as organizing volunteers to come serve tea and food.

“We're just making sure all the servers are going to their tables and everyone's getting tea and food,” Howell said. “We have sandwiches, scones and desserts, so Bianca and I are are not actually serving, we’re delegating our servers and making sure everything is flowing. We also pour water — that's the biggest thing, tea is going fast.”

Last year’s tea party hosted 60 Flagstaff residents, while this year 90 residents dined together.

“We came in not knowing what to expect, but we loved it,” Howell said. “It’s like an adrenaline rush to get people passing out the tea and people wanting things, but it’s good to be busy.”

They transformed the Murdoch Community Center into an elegant, yet simple, tea party.

“The best part of this experience is definitely seeing it all come together,” Bracero said.

Due to the fact that part of the tea room belonged to a preschool, it had vibrantly colored walls of painted blue skies. In order to fully transform the community center, they hung tapestries to hide the painted clouds in the preschool.

“It was the time to socialize, enjoy each other, have some fun, eat, make lots of tea, and just meet new people,” Gooding said. “We wanted to make it feel like a community event, and as you can hear from all the chatter and the noise in the background, that's what people are doing while giving back to their community.”.

Overall, the event successfully raised money and brought the community together in an interesting way.

Artist Shawn Skabelund comments on society through his artwork

B

BY ANDREA LUQUE KARAM

orn in Mount Pleasant, Utah, artist Shawn Skabelund serves as a gift to Flagstaff and any people who have had the pleasure to see his art.

Skabelund is a complete artist; drawing, painting, sculpting and building complete installations are all part of his skill sets.

To Skabelund, art is meant to educate. Skabelund is completely committed to society, and embraces his responsibility.

“For me, as an artist, it is all about educating. I try to educate on what art can really be,” Skabelund said. “You can take any material, convert it in art and use it in a gallery.”

His themes mostly relate to social issues, politics and more specifically to migration.

In the way that the Ohio River was the border for slaves, Skabelund saw the border from Mexico to the United States as the same idea. He wants to remind people with his work that history repeats itself and that humanity is not yet aware of the natural necessities of people. This no-barriers thought is shown well in his work.

“Since I was in college, I have been looking at the idea of the Manifest Destiny; how tribes have been separated, how we European-Americans had changed the landscape and destroyed cultures,” Skabelund said. “Those are the main things I studied as an undergrad, and after grad school my work then started to become more social, political and didactic to show all this.”

His commitment to educate goes beyond a canvas or a piece of paper. When he has an idea and a defined concept, Shawn Skabelund’s display of hands cupping hummingbirds and silhouettes of Mexican citizens waiting to cross his job is only just about to start.

Flagstaff locals celebrate the invention of the Hubble telescope Lowell Observatory opened up multiple viewing rooms for guests in attendance at the Hubble Space Telescope 25th anniversary celebration on Friday, April 24, 2015.

he Hubble telescope has now officially been in space for over 25 years, and in its time has made many discoveries and shown the people of Earth even more.

Hubble’s best discoveries have been helping pinpoint the universe’s age, discovering the presence of dark matter, providing photos of deep uncharted space and many more.

The Hubble space telescope is not specifically related to Flagstaff. However, the concept of the telescope came from the idea of an expanding universe, information which did in fact come from Lowell Observatory.

Jim Cole, an educator at Lowell Observatory who came out of retirement to teach people about the importance of Hubble, gave a lecture on Hubble as part of the celebration on April 24.

“Hubble has investigated so many different aspects of astronomical sciences that nothing else has touched, has been involved with more discoveries on its own and contributed pieces of evidence for other discoveries to be made, and most importantly it involved the public through

its images of space,” Cole said.

Hubble not only gave new insights into space that NASA had never seen before, but also gave the public an unprecedented look at space. By sending up a high-quality camera with the telescope, NASA was able to collect images and show the public the amazing photographs and data they took, many of whom had never seen real images of space before.

Most of the visitors of Lowell Observatory were people who had never seen these images or heard the story of the Hubble telescope.

“I really enjoy teaching the general public that doesn’t necessarily have a good grasp of our universe,” Cole said. “I want people to take away a new appreciation for the science of astronomy and be able to ask a lot of new questions to the answers we get.”

Pat Smith traveled from Madison, Wisconsin, with her son, Marshall, to visit her daughter, Amanda, a Flagstaff resident, and also to attend the 25th-anniversary celebration of the telescope.

“The images it has brought back for the common

person to view what’s out there, it really broadens our horizons,” Pat said.

“I knew next to nothing about Hubble before this event.

I knew of the telescope, but I had no idea the extent of its successes,” Amanda said.

The photos are a great way for people to learn about the history of Hubble and how important it really is.

Ron Evans from Mesa, Arizona traveled to Flagstaff with his wife Rita to celebrate Hubble’s anniversary.

Flagstaff ’s dark skies came in handy for the couple when it came to stargazing that night.

“To be at a place that you can actually view the stars, that’s incredible. There’s too many lights in Mesa now, you can’t see the stars anymore,” Rita said.

For Rita, Hubble reminds her the universe is still so unknown.

“It is much bigger than our minds can comprehend.

This whole universe, it is always expanding farther, and there are more stars,” Rita said. “You can hardly get your mind around it. We are mere specks in this whole universe.”

The Kayettes

Serving Flagstaff one charity at a time

BY KYNDALL ARNOLD

“S

pirit. Service. Smile.” That has been the motto of the NAU Kayettes for almost five decades.

Established in 1967 by six women with a common philanthropic desire, the Kayettes, an all-female organization, are dedicated to giving back to the campus and Flagstaff community. Current NAU students continue to carry out the original traditions and service projects, while accepting new opportunities to be charitable and spread spirit across the campus.

The student service organization’s members have sisterly bonds that often give the organization the misnomer of a sorority. However, the Kayettes are unique to NAU and are in no way affiliated with Greek Life.

“We are not nationally affiliated with any organization.

We don't wear letters, nor do we have letters. Our main focus is service, and sisterhood is an added bonus,” said junior secondary education history major Jenna Wright.

The Kayettes are 80 percent service and 20 percent social. They work closely with several organizations including the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Flagstaff Family Food Center, Habitat for Humanity, the Special Olympics and other campus clubs and organizations.

“Our group does community service around Flagstaff,” said senior elementary education major Michelle Beerling.

“We love to be involved in anything that we can both on and off campus. We put on the Mr. Lumberjack pageant at the traditions’ day carnival each year at NAU and volunteer our time at many different events and locations around town each weekend.”

Those local events include Berg’s BBQ, the Humane Society, Fit Kids, Hope Cottage, the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra, Avenue Cleanup and dinners at retirement homes.

Senior biomedical science and psychology major Nicole Cohover is the Kayette president, who said Berg’s BBQ was her favorite service project that the Kayettes participate in.

“Each senior gets an allotted $2,000 to give to any organization they want and I gave mine to Berg’s BBQ,” Cohover said. “I gave Berg’s the check and they were all so genuinely appreciative of it and it wasn’t even that much money. It was a lot to them and it could make a difference for them. They were able to buy a washer, a dryer and a new computer with the money. Through Kayettes, I was exposed to that organization and it was really special.”

The Kayettes host many annual events such as a Thanksgiving-style holiday dinner, Trick-or-Treating for Cans and Relay for Life.

“We set up a ‘jail’ every year in which people have to pay to put others in jail and that person has to double that amount in order to get out of jail. Most organizations on

campus participate, so it’s really fun while helping out the community as well,” Cohover said.

Some of the Kayettes’ social activities and traditions include hot cocoa runs for float-builders during Homecoming week, retreats and spring formals.

The Kayettes recently welcomed 11 new girls from their spring recruitment in February and currently have 31 members.

The recruitment process of the Kayettes is much like the one of a sorority, however, a bit more extensive. The Kayettes have info sessions, “fun parties” and interviews over a three-week period. Anyone who has a GPA of 2.75 or higher and is at least a second-semester freshman is allowed to participate in recruitment.

The Kayettes’ goal is to make a difference in the Flagstaff community, while having a fun time. Community and campus service is the foundation of the organization, and they plan and take part in many service projects — big and small — each year.

Football concludes spring season with annual blue vs. gold game

F

BY HAYDEN KNUDSEN

or professional football fans, spring doesn’t mean much, but at the collegiate level, it signals the return of spring football, and for NAU the annual spring game. The spring game shows what offensive and defensive weapons the team may have gained in the offseason, and what the team looks like in comparison to this past season. The Lumberjacks took the field at Lumberjack Stadium April 25 to showcase what they have been working on during practice.

OFFENSE: PASSING GAME A WORK IN PROGRESS

The offense looked bland, and there were a lot of signs that the offense might take a step backwards this year. Chalk it up to whatever you would like — the wind, the rain or just the usual rust gathered during the offseason being shaken off — but the passing attack looked meager. The Jacks did add a new up-tempo offense to their repertoire this year. That, combined with the thin, mountain air should wear down defenses quickly and as a result, the Lumberjacks could see an increase in scoring.

“It was tough out here today battling the elements,” said junior running back Casey Jahn. “We had some bad snaps as a result, but we just added this new offense starting this spring and I just think it went really well.”

CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Apr. 30 - May. 6, 2015 | The Lumberjack 29

Sports The Lumberjacks lost their two biggest red zone targets in the offseason, wide receiver Ify Umodu and tight end Beau Gardner. Junior receiver Alex Holmes and freshman receiver Emmanuel Butler can expect to see a big gain in targets this year. The Lumberjacks shouldn’t be too worried about the passing attack because their starting running back returns this year as well.

Jahn was the third leading receiver last year behind Umodu and Holmes, finishing the year with 34 receptions for 311 yards and three touchdowns out of the backfield.

The biggest addition for the Lumberjacks’ passing attack this year will be a highly-touted UA transfer, Connor Brewer. Brewer showed signs of why he was a four-star prospect coming out of high school, but never threw a pass last year for the Wildcats at UA. The running game has their starting backfield returning and looks to be as strong as it did last year, only losing two seniors on the offensive line. Their offense combined for over 2,500 yards rushing last year, averaging over five yards per carry and finishing with 20 touchdowns on the season.

“Everybody has bought into our new offense so far, and everybody really likes it,” Holmes said. “It’s a little tough right now because we’re down a couple lineman now so it will be tough to get through the spring. But I think it will be a great new key for us.”

DEFENSE: SECONDARY STANDS OUT The defense played extremely well during the spring game, and despite losing some key starters, they could be better as a unit than they were this past season. The defense finished the game with four interceptions, with freshman linebacker Jake Casteel grabbing two, and junior cornerback Marcus Alford getting one as well. Alford will look to help lead this young secondary to another good year, and will be relied on heavily to cover the opposing team’s best receiver. Alford missed one game this past season and finished the year with three interceptions and 27 tackles.

NAU’s biggest returning contributor will be junior safety Eddie Horn.

Horn had a great season in the fall, finishing with a team-high 88 tackles and three interceptions. Horn will share the back of the secondary with junior Darius Lewis, who also had an impressive season. Lewis finished third on the team with 75 tackles and contributed in a big way on special teams, where he blocked two kicks.

In the front seven, the Lumberjacks will look for big contributions from sophomore defensive lineman Lorenzo Melvin and junior defensive lineman Siupeli Anau. These two will look to bring a veteran presence and leadership to the team, while also trying to be the run-stopping anchors the Lumberjacks need.

Jerome Souers will enter his 18th season as the Lumberjacks’ head coach and the team will have seven starters returning on offense, six on defense and three on special teams. NAU will look to continue their streak of three consecutive winning seasons where they combined for a 24-11 record, which includes an 18-6 record against conference rivals.

The Jacks will open their fall season Sept. 5 at Stephen F. Austin, before the home opener Sept. 12 against New Mexico Highlands.

Men’s tennis shows growth and maturity after conference championship loss

A

BY RICHIE TRUNZO

lthough the NAU men’s tennis team did not finish the season on top, losing in the Big Sky Championship (BSC) to Idaho 4–2, it was one of the best seasons that they have had in years.

After finishing the season at 7-4 and gaining the sixth seed in the Big Sky tournament, the Lumberjacks had a successful playoff run. NAU defeated the defending Big Sky champions, Montana, 4–2 in the first round of playoffs and then went on to defeat Weber State, 4–1 in the second round to advance to the Big Sky championship game.

This playoff run is impressive considering the adversity that NAU faced in the regular season. After winning its first five conference matches, NAU went on a four-match losing streak.

The Lumberjacks finished off the season with two wins to come back and clinch a playoff spot.

The championship game did not go as the Lumberjacks had planned, but they fought hard in the match and are proving to be a consistent contender in the BSC. “To go in there as the sixth seed and make it to the final round was great. I thought we played very well,” said head coach Ki Kroll.

NAU was in a great spot early in the match, as it took the doubles point with an 8–6 win at the No. 1 position, and an 8–5

32 The Lumberjack | Jackcentral.org

win at the No. 2 position.

After losing the first singles match at the No. 5 position, the Lumberjacks regained the lead with a 6–1, 6–1 win by freshman Adi Zilberstein at the No. 5 position.

Idaho proved to be a persistent opponent, as it took the lead by winning at the No. 3 and No. 4 spots. The wins gave Idaho a 3–2 lead, and the momentum going into the final two singles matches of the day.

The championship game came down to the third set at the No. 2 position. Sophomore Alex Locci lost the first set, 6–4, and came back in the second set with a 6–3 win. Locci was unable to finish the match with the win, dropping the third set, 6–2, which clinched the match for the Vandals.

In their previous match, NAU upset the No. 1 seed Weber State.

The Lumberjacks officially clinched the doubles point through an 8–4 win at the No. 2 spot, and continued their gritty play throughout their singles matches.

The Lumberjacks won three of their first four singles matches on their way to winning the contest 4–1. Freshman Felix Schumann closed the match out with a 6–2, 6–3 win at the No. 5 position, which propelled the Lumberjacks to the championship match.

NAU’s first-round matchup against Montana was not easy either. Montana was the defending champion and considered a

very strong opponent, but through consistent play, NAU won 4–2.

The Grizzlies started the match strong, winning the doubles point and giving them an advantage going into singles play, which put them in a position to win.

After dropping the first singles match 6–3, 6–0 at the No. 2 position, the Lumberjacks were down 2–0 and had to fight back through the remainder of singles play. The Lumberjacks found a way to win, and took the next four singles matches to win the match.

Kester Black clinched the match for the Lumberjacks with a 2–6, 7–6(3), 6–2 win at the No. 3 spot.

The Lumberjacks are only losing two seniors, Black and Jordan Gobatie, and have young players who will be the core of the team for years to come.

“I think that fighting to the final round of this tournament made the year very significant,” Kroll said. “It also gave all of the younger guys more experience, and more desire to push forward and win the championship next year.”

Regardless of the loss in the BSC championship game, NAU pieced together a great season. Since hiring Kroll, the Lumberjacks have steadily improved and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the BSC.

Women’s tennis falls in Big Sky semifinals

T

BY JACQUIE LEMARR

he NAU women’s tennis team closed out arguably one of their best conference seasons, losing in the semifinals of the Big Sky tournament April 25 to Sacramento State 4–0.

NAU had many difficulties, but showed a competitive edge and momentum that made the Jacks grow into a stronger team.

“These are not the results we came here to get, but I am still proud of our women,” said head coach Kim Bruno. “They got tougher, smarter and developed their personal characters this season.”

The undefeated Hornets beat the Lumberjacks in the semifinals 4–0, as NAU lost all singles matches in two sets. In doubles play, the Jacks were unable to get any rhythm going, losing all three doubles matches as well. The closest match came when junior Jordan Denesik and sophomore Sara Brown fell 8–6.

Standout senior Johanna Vang was unable to play in her last collegiate match due to injury.

“We have improved so much this year and grown as a team,” Vang said. “Although it was sad to sit out for my last tournament, I am still so proud of the girls and the competitive edge they kept all through the tournament.”

NAU started the tournament on a good note on opening day April 24 against No. 5-seed Weber State. NAU was able to claim a 4–1 victory over Weber State, dominating the matchup.

The Jacks came out strong in doubles play, which helped their confidence throughout the entire match. They had a great showing by power team sophomore Hailey Rochin and junior Emelia Box, who went on to defeat freshman Romy Dodd-Stephens and freshman Dominique Beauvais 8–4. Denesik and Brown faced off against senior Carly Lloyd and freshman Emily Tanner and won 8–3.

The strength of the team has always been in singles play, displayed against Weber State as NAU picked up three victories from Rochin, Brown and sophomore Marta Lewandowska.

The Lumberjacks ended the season with a 13-11 record, which is an improvement on last season’s record, tacking on four more wins.

NAU will be losing two seniors, Vang and Sarah Maria Spruch, so the Jacks will be able to build upon this year’s success with majority of the team returning.

“At NAU we do things the right way and I am happy to be a part of this athletic department,” Bruno said.

Arts&Entertainment Bachelor of Fine Arts Show captures students’ works of art

E

BY MARISSA WHITE

very year, graduating student artists are given the opportunity to display their artwork in a student-coordinated art exhibition known as the Bachelor of Fine Arts [BFA] Show. This show occurs twice a year — once in the fall and once in the spring — and is a degree requirement for art students to participate in.

The current show had an all-time high of 19 students participating. At first, staff and students were unsure if the show would work with the many participating students, and even contemplated splitting the show up into two parts; however, details were worked out and all artwork was able to be presented in one show.

During preparation for the show, students are assigned a faculty member based on their department area to be a part of their committee to help them get organized for this show. Throughout the semester, the committees met to discuss the progress of the artwork as well as installations when the art is finished.

While the artwork of this show does not have any particular theme, a lot of the work is said to be a reflection of the students’ time spent at NAU over the past few years.

“This show is a culmination of students’ education,” said BFA director Christopher Taylor. “This includes the students’ professors, faculty, peers, family, even the general public. Really anyone that has had an impact on the students and their education come to see their artwork.”

Everything from paintings, sculptures and ceramic pottery are available for viewing. Ceramic artist Erin Gooch, a graduating senior majoring in fine arts with

an emphasis in ceramics, has one of the largest displays of pottery in the gallery.

“I am really interested in the relationship between the functional pot and the consumer. I believe that in comparison to a painting, something that you just look at, this is a work of art that individuals are able to not only look at, but use it and enjoy it,” Gooch said.

“The reason all of my pottery is so bright and colorful is because it’s not very traditional, it really makes a statement, looks beautiful and is very functional in the home.”

As far as creating the work itself, students are required to have some sort of concept of art they want to invent and create before spaces in the gallery are divided up. Some students are able to start working on their specific art piece for the BFA show up to a year in advance; however, due to the professors’ decision, ceramic students such as Gooch are only given the semester of to develop and create their artwork.

When it is time to start considering installations, maps of the gallery are drawn out and students are given specific sections of the gallery to set up their artwork. Final steps of fixing lighting, spacing and other minor details are taken and the gallery is ready to open.

“This gallery is very diverse and has a lot of interesting works of art to look at,” said sophomore chemistry major Tyler Smith. “The fact that all of them have artist statements is a really nice touch and gave me the chance to read about some of the installations that really caught my eye.”

The BFA exhibition is available for viewing in Beasley Art Gallery on select days of the week until May 8.

Hip-Hop Awareness Week at NAU

F

BY TIM NUTTING

or the second year in a row, NAU highlighted the genre of hip-hop.

The culture, music and elements were presented throughout all of HipHop Week.

From April 20 to 24, the ethnic studies program presented the 2nd Annual NAU Hip-Hop Week, showing the culture and music of the hip-hop genre. Along with celebrating this style of music, many of the events presented misconceptions of the music genre, the music elements and even musicians themselves.

Monday started off the event, showcasing live graffiti demonstrations at the Union. Not only were painters showing the beauty of graffiti art, they were also showing how socially important and symbolic the graffiti designs can be as well. In addition to that, Stanford Professor H. Samy Alim presented a talk called “Pedagogical Value of Global HipHop in the Classroom” at Cline Library.

Tuesday was an explosive night for Hip-Hop Week, as Prochnow Auditorium was the site of “Bring Tha Noise” dance extravaganza. It was an interesting dynamic throughout the night. Amidst the crowd, there was a plethora of performers and groups from all over — definitely making for an enjoyable time.

Notable groups included the All That Juniors and our very own Bad Jacks. The All That Juniors were covered in flashy clothes and sported fantastic dance moves. The Bad Jacks were smooth and simple, yet effective in their performance.

They had synchronization and effective style.

Although the event was hip-hop oriented, it did include songs from musicians we all know and love; of course, they did a remix version of “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine” by James Brown, as well as adding in guitar riffs from Led Zeppelin songs.

Wednesday was a special day, as it featured a presentation titled “Are We Missing the Misogyny in Hip-Hop?” at the Native American Cultural Center.

Featuring a panel of ethnic studies members, it was a diverse and intriguing discussion about the topic of whether or not misogyny is present in the genre of hip-hop, and what people think about it.

Topics included gender issues and racial overtones of women in the media and gender identity. The panel also posed questions to the audience in order to understand multiple perspectives and opinions.

Thursday was another big night for Hip-Hop Week, as it was the Hip-Hop showcase at SBS, located in the Castro Room. Rappers and hip-hop artists performed their signature material to the audience. Key performers included Mavin and the Kennedys.

The Kennedys were aggressive, loud, charismatic and passionate about their music. When you get the whole room or crowd dancing, you know you have power.

Overall, Hip-Hop Awareness Week was an eye-opening experience brought by fun, craziness and extraordinary talent.

ARTISTS FOR SPRING

Glass Animals

Röyksopp

Jack Ü

Kygo

This four-piece ensemble encompasses everything it takes to be known as an indie band. The band comes in as a very close second place to indie band Alt-J. The band has a smooth, intricate and electronic sound. Somehow, it manages to incorporate a slower, sexy sound along with the strong upbeat choruses of each song. Songs like “Gooey,” “Hazey” and “Pools” show off the band’s personality perfectly and are the perfect additions to a spring playlist.

An electronic duo that brings in inspiration of techno music into their tracks. The pair does not have a consistent genre, as they are always changing their style of music. The duo goes back and forth with genres ranging from electronica, trip-hop, house, disco, synthpop and ambient, a great variety of sounds to listen to.

The duo’s track “I Had This Thing” is a great song to showcase exactly what Röyksopp is. The song incorporates ‘80s-inspired rhythm with a massive building beat that ends in a satisfying conclusion. Röyksopp’s last album, The Inevitable End, is a great download for an interesting and exciting spring album.

Say hello to the perfect EDM/ Trap duo out there. DJ’s Diplo and Skrillex have teamed up to give fans the perfect combination of themselves in an album. Simply put, Jack Ü has the perfect spring songs for your playlist. The tracks created by the pair are completely unexpected, in the best way possible.

Each track allows for the uniqueness of each artist to shine, and together the duo creates a sound unlike any other. Songs like “Where Are Ü Now,” and “Take Ü There,” are hard to get out of your head once you listen to them. These songs are the most popular, and the best tracks on the Jack Ü album.

A rising superstar known for his DJ ways is making some of the best electronic remixes of popular, trendy songs. Kygo is slowly but surely becoming more and more well known and his career is sure to explode anytime soon.

Having yet to drop his own album, Kygo has gained his success through concerts like TomorrowWorld, and remixes and collaborations with R&B artist The Weeknd. At only 23 years old, Kygo seems to be unstoppable and is definitely crushing the EDM game. To hear his original sound, listen to his first original track “Firestone” featuring Conrad — it is a taste of what to expect when Kygo releases his first album.

Bombay Bicycle Club Though the band has been around for a while, there is no denying its perfect spring sound, which is why it fits perfectly during this time of year. Just take a listen to songs like “Carry Me,” “It’s Alright Now” and “Luna” and hear the band’s enthusiastic, uplifting sound.

Take Bombay Bicycle Club on a road trip for a refreshing, imaginative, and creative new sound.

The vocals, background music, beats and everything in between make for an exciting, relaxing feel.

Album Review: Passion Pit - Kindred

U

BY CHARLOTTE EVANS

pon listening to the first song off Passion Pit’s new album Kindred, I knew that I was not going to like the rest of what I was about to hear. I felt the meshing of music and lyrics in “Lifted Up” was disorganized and all over the place.

I did not like the way the album blended and I was not a fan of the vocals. I actually found it to be slightly annoying and offputting. I had a hard time working through a lot of the songs on the album just because I did not care for the vocalization. I found it to be too whiny and electronic for my liking, especially in the track “My Brother Taught Me How To Swim.”

In a lot of the tracks, there was too much going on with the drums, electronic keyboard and vocals for me to be able to appreciate what I was listening to. I have often heard good things about the group and I can understand why a lot of people out there enjoy the music — it would be fun to dance to in certain concert or festival settings; how-

ever, for just regular listening, I did not particularly care for this album.

“Dancing on the Grave” sounded to me like it was trying to build up to an epic or engaging chorus throughout the entire song, but never quite made it. I found it to be boring and yet engaging at the same time because I was waiting for a big moment, but was disappointed when it did not deliver and the song just ended.

“Ten Feet Tall (II)” was a song I expected to be at least somewhat good from the title but the lyrics made me cringe slightly. I wish I could say I was at least a little entertained by the album, but I felt the song composition was mediocre at best and at times too simplistic in lyrics and too complicated in mixing.

I recommend the album for people who like extremely upbeat pop-electronica, but it is not something I would recommend for people who are interested in everyday listening. I can understand the appeal for some, but it is definitely not for me.
