Them Savages

brings wild, native rhythms BY KATE HINOJOSA

D

espite the single-digit temperatures and light snowfall, a crowd of 60 or so kids huddled in a garage last Friday night to catch Them Savages. The show was held at Taala Hoogan Info Shop, a community house-turned-venue, hidden in a quiet neighborhood on the east side of town. With just a small home-built stage, a couple of bright lights spotlighting the band and a few space heaters in the corners, only diehard local music fans could brace this setting for a show. Then again, it’s not very often Flagstaff is home to a good local band, so when Them Savages broke into the see THEM SAVAGES page 22

Bar & Grill

to provide fine dining, training for HRM majors BY DELAINEY NOE

odernly-furnished, 1898, a loungestyle restaurant in the historic North Union is the newest addition to dining on campus. With contemporary decor that mingles with the established brick and high arches, the atmosphere is complementary to the unique takes and fresh flourishes on robust, traditional dishes. The new eatery started serving lunch Feb. 28 and opens for full lunch and dinner service in early March. T.C. Eberly, director of Campus Services and Activities, said the new restaurant will offer Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) students opportunities for jobs and internships. “This is going to allow them an extraordinary experience,” Eberly said. The 1899 Bar and Grill will be open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and will accept Jacks Debit Express (JDE) and Dining Dollars for meals but will not accept either form of payment for alcohol or gratuities. The menu will include lunch and dinner options, such as vegetarian, vegan and glutenfree meals. The restaurant will be using locally produced food products and maintaining its own herb garden in the kitchen. Cynthia Brown of the NAU Office of Public Affairs said the atmosphere of the restaurant would not be casual. see 1899 page 4 Go to NorthernArizonaNews.com for more photos by Rico Medina of the new restaurant.

T

he Lumberjack: Mr. President, at last Thursday’s Arizona Board of Regents meeting, Ernest Calderon said NAU’s control of NAU Yuma and NAU Yavapai was “imperialist.” How would you respond, and what is the role of NAU Yuma and NAU Yavapai in NAU’s future? John Haeger: The context for that comment was not that [Calderon] does not actually value our presence at NAU Yuma and NAU Yavapai. His comment was, in the future, that these may be wholly see HAEGER Q&A page 3

Bill may dissolve ABOR BY HANNA RUBIN

I

n 1945, House Bill 136 united the three state colleges, but that unity may soon be diminished. Senate Bill 1115 proposed by Senator Andy Biggs would get rid of the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) and establish separate boards of trustees for each state school. The bill would also add a fourth school, Arizona Polytechnic University (formerly ASU’s east campus), with a separate budget unit. The state senate first read the proposed bill on Jan. 13 and for the second time on Jan. 18. When the legislation was brought to the Committee of Appropriations on the morning of Feb. 22, the committee voted to pass an amended version of the bill. On Monday the committee considered the amended bill with recommendation for a floor amendment. Associate Vice President of Public Affairs & External Relations Katie see ABOR page 4
