Store pulls ‘Navajo’ AZ ruling upholds legislation closing Flag abortion clinic clothing line BY Mark Saunders

fter receiving a letter of protest from the Navajo Nation, clothing retailer Urban Outfitters has removed their “Navajo” clothing line from stores nationwide — a line that included some items identified as offensive, such as women’s underwear and an alcoholic flask. A cease-and-desist letter from the Navajo Nation had been sent last week to Urban Outfitters in response to their “Navajo” clothing line, which the tribe claimed is in violation of trademarks the tribe holds over the use of the term “Navajo.” The line included around 20 products depicting Native American-inspired designs. Specifically, two items caught the attention of the Navajo Nation and instantly sparked protest from the tribe: “Navajo Hipster Panties” and a “Navajo Print see CLOTHING page 4

ue to the Abortion Consent Act (AZ State House Bill 2564) taking effect, the Flagstaff Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers in Arizona have changed how they can offer care to their patients. HB 2564, which has been under an injunction since 2009, allows medical personnel to refrain from taking part in abortions on moral or religious grounds. It also requires that a medical doctor perform all surgical abortions and that minors get notarized parental consent for abortions. There is also a mandatory 24-hour waiting period and information must be delivered in person. Bryan Howard, president and CEO of see ABORTION page 7

Fabric-Wrapped Flask.” Ben Shelly, president of the Navajo Nation, said he was disappointed with the articles of clothing and accessories used to represent Urban Outfitters’ “Navajo” line. “Many Navajos were offended that the word ‘Navajo’ was affiliated with a flask,” Shelly said. “Alcoholism is an issue on the Navajo Nation, and encouraging any form of alcohol consumption is not what we want the word ‘Navajo’ to do.” Kristen Swanson, a merchandising professor at NAU, said she believes Urban Outfitters is not guilty of breaking any laws, but said the decision to run such a line was a bad one. “While [Urban Outfitters] has not broken any laws, I do think what they are doing is disrespectful of the Navajo Nation,” Swanson said. “In this situation, [Urban Outfitters] is not representing themselves as good global citizens respecting the cultural citizen rights of the Navajo Nation.” Urban Outfitters originally had no plans to remove the name from their clothing, according to an Oct. 24 article from the Associated Press. As of Oct. 19, the “Navajo” line was no longer listed on Urban Outfitters’ website or available in store at their Tempe location, according to the same AP article. A response from Urban Outfitters was not re-

turned at time of print. Martine Robertson, a freshman mathematics major, said he found the clothing line to be fine. “I don’t find it offensive,” Robertson said. “It’s just an article [of clothing]. It wouldn’t change my decision [to shop there].” In a press release from the Navajo Nation Department of Justice, the Attorney General’s office called the removal of the controversial clothes “positive actions” by Urban Outfitters and “more consistent with the corporation’s responsibilities than previously demonstrated.” “I am thankful of Urban Outfitters’ CEO for removing the word ‘Navajo’ from their clothing line,” Shelly said. “Companies using the ‘Navajo’ name would be well advised to work with the Navajo Nation before making business decisions on their own.” Sam Weiner, junior business economics major, said he does not see anything wrong with what Urban Outfitters was selling. “I think [Urban Outfitters] should get permission,” Weiner said. “But I don’t think there was anything wrong with what they were selling.” The Navajo Nation holds at least 10 trademarks on clothing, footwear, household products and textiles under the Navajo name. The tribe claimed Urban Outfitters was in violation of trademarks, in addition to producing items offensive to Native American teachings and struggles.

NAUPD looking for magazine subscription scammers BY Maria Dicosola

he NAU Police Department is investigating a magazine sale scam where people are going door-to-door on and around campus selling magazine subscriptions and collecting cash. According to a press release from the department, the suspects — who are college-age — usually tell the customer they are raising money for college tuition or a class project. “They collect cash from customers, but no magazines are ever delivered,” the release said. “At NAU, they have been telling students that they can come to the ‘Student Services’ office for a refund within three days.” However, NAU does not have a “Student Services” office, said Joe Tritschler, NAUPD community relations officer. “They were leading the consumer to believe they were part of a student group or organization that the university sponsors, which is not the case at all,” Tritschler said. In addition, Tritschler said one of the companies believed to be a part of the scam, Atlantic Circulation Inc. (ACI), does not have permission from the university to sell prod-

ucts on campus. After investigating the company, NAUPD said they found that ACI is known for their sketchy business and hiring tactics. The company received a rating of “C+” from the Better Business Bureau, due to their total of 234 closed complaints. NAUPD is continuing to investigate what other companies are selling magazines. However, Tritschler said the easiest way to avoid the scam is to refuse to buy from them. “Most of the products they sell are available in other places,” Tritschler said. He believes it is basic common sense that keeps people safe from soliciting scams. “It’s simple consumer common sense,” Tritschler said. “They will properly identify themselves if theyre supposed to be here.” NAUPD wants students and faculty to call their office at (928) 523-3611 if anyone is approached by one of these soIicitors. “If you are approached by any individuals asking for money on campus, you can always ask for identification and inquire if they have a permit from the Office of Student Life,” the release said.

Cold, flu season comes early for students BY April Rodriguez

ass the tissue — it is that time of year again. Students across campus are already facing the signs of the winter cold and flu season head on — literally. Head colds, including sniffling, sneezing, fevers and fatigue, are all symptoms students will face while dealing with classes and the cold weather. Cynthia Roth, the nurse manager at the Fronske Health Center now located in the Health and Learning Center (HLC), said this cold and flu season is going to a big one. “So far, 276 people have come in with either a sore throat, cough, flu, sinus infection or [an] ear infection,” Roth said. “We have seen between 400-550 patients per week since classes started.” These early returns indicate the cold and flu season has arrived a lot sooner than expected. Dayne Petera, a freshman visual communication design major, said he feels getting ill is an inevitability. “The weather changes usually get me a little stuffed up, and I am sure I will be getting sick sometime this winter,” Petera said. “Hopefully before final [exams].” Some students have already gotten sick. Liz Ball, a marketing major, experienced one of the first cold outbreaks while living in her residence hall.

“I had a sore throat, a fever and I was weak,” Ball said. “I was sick for like three days and it was finally over after a whole week. I’m probably going to get sick again because the weather is starting to get colder.” Roth said students can stay healthy by doing some obvious things, but also by abstaining from smoking and drinking. “[Maintain a] good, healthy diet, adequate fluids, a good balance of rest and exercise, staying away from others who are sick, when possible,” Roth said. “[Also], frequent hand-washing is vital. It’s good to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth if you are ‘out and about,’ since these are common areas for germs to grow. It is best to avoid alcohol and nicotine, too.” Rhianna Johnson, a biochemistry major, said she had a slight cold and now is trying to not get ill again. “I sleep more,” Johnson said. “I also try to eat healthy and to drink more water. I tried to take some vitamins — my cousin gave me [Airborne medication] and it didn’t work.” The Fronske Health Center offers flu shots for students living on campus. Other places, such as the Target pharmacy, also offer the flu vaccination. Roth said students need to get regular sleep to make themselves less susceptible to illness.

Students prepare for Chemistry Week BY Daniel Daw

tudent members of the American Chemical Society and several faculty members in the chemistry department are hosting a variety of events in celebration of National Chemistry Week. The highlight of the week will be a demonstration on Oct. 28 in Room 106 of the Chemistry building. The show will feature a variety of chemical reactions. Chemistry Club President Whitney Brown said the demon-

stration will consist of a variety of common reactions. “Our demo show is just going to be a bunch of chemistry experiments to show people how vast chemistry is,” Brown said. “We’re going to have thermite and other things that give off explosions . . . then we’re also going to have oscillating reactions, which is pretty much [an experiment in which] we have a solution that’s a certain color and has chemicals in it that actually alternates between two colors . . . [the demonstration] will be a variety of things.”

from ABORTION page 1

Planned Parenthood Arizona, said the ruling being overturned had an immediate result in reducing available care for patients. “One of the impacts of the ruling was the prohibition of nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants from providing abortion care,” Howard said. “At least at Planned Parenthood, about half of the abortion patients we were seeing were being seen by nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants. As of Sept. 12, they are no longer allowed to provide that care despite having done so for literally a decade with a safety record equal to that of a physician’s. Overnight, what we saw was a shortage of providers. There are simply not the appointments available for women seeking the care.” Howard said he was not pleased at what he saw as the aim of HB 2564. “It’s pretty simple,” Howard said. “It is to make abortion difficult to get and

to stigmatize providers of abortion, to make it harder to access the care and to imply, as the legislation would suggest, that women seeking and receiving abortion care were not being informed and were not making informed decisions.” Michael Morrisette, president of NAU Students for Life, said while his organization is anti-abortion, that is not all there is to it. “Everyone has human rights, and that’s strictly what we’re about,” Morrisette said. “From natural conception, from the fertilization of the egg with the sperm, all the way to a natural death, all the way to death in a hospital, death in a bed while you are sleeping, anything that is not forced upon someone, and that’s what we’re about. It’s not along the lines of just abortion, just euthanasia, just against the death penalty . . . It’s just about general human rights.” Morrisette said he sees a double standard in people’s views about abortion.

“When a child is aborted, people just say, ‘Oh, it’s an abortion, it’s nothing,’” Morrisette said. “But if a pregnant woman — whether she was going to have an abortion or not — is killed, whether she is a day pregnant or nine months pregnant, whoever killed that woman is charged with double manslaughter. It is killing two people, but the abortion doesn’t count as killing anyone. That’s another thing we look at as a contradiction.” Morgan Spatola, president of Associated Students for Women’s Issues, said her body is not the state’s property. “It is restricting of women’s rights,” Spatola said. “The right to choose is really important and if the government is going to tell people what to do with their bodies, that’s not very fair. I know I don’t want the government to be able to say that I can or can’t take birth control, if that were the thing. What I do with my body is my choice and it’s not for the government to say what I can do.”

Editorial&Opinion

Arizona legislation a step backward for women’s rights Staff Editorial

ue to new restrictions on abortion in Arizona, the number of abortions dropped by nearly 32 percent from August to September, according to the Associated Press. There has been a record number of laws passed in Arizona this year that add more restrictions on abortion. For example, medication-induced abortions must now be administered by a physician rather than a physician’s assistant. In addition, surgical abortions can no longer be done by nurse practitioners, minors must obtain parental consent before an abortion, all women seeking an abortion must attend in-person abortion counseling beforehand, state universities are banned from using state funding or tuition to pay for training for abortion providers and all women must see an ultrasound of their fetus at least one hour before the planned procedure. These restrictions have forced Planned Parenthood Arizona to drop abortion services from seven of their 10 offices, including the one in Flagstaff. While anti-abortion proponents are overwhelmed with joy thanks to these tedious laws and their seemingly significant impact on the decrease of abortions, Planned Parenthood Arizona said that the legislation is not making people change their minds about their abortions — they are just

making it harder for people to get them at the early stages of pregnancy, which forces more people to have surgical abortions rather than medicine-induced abortions. Women who decide to go through an abortion — who consciously make the decision that they do not want or cannot care for a child at this time — are not making this decision easily. Therefore, when they come to the hard conclusion, no amount of informa-

tion is going to make these women change their minds. In fact, seeing an ultrasound of what they are about to give up will only make them feel horrible about themselves for making a decision that they truly believe is better for the child. Politicians are turning a very personal decision and procedure into an unnecessarily complicated mess and women are just stuck in the middle. The politicians

clearly are not considerate toward the well-being of women, despite every piece of legislation saying otherwise. If they actually cared about women and their rights, they would not be taking away their right to stop an unwanted pregnancy. While anti-abortion groups are ruthlessly fighting the procedure, using graphic pictures of aborted fetuses and harassing physicians who administer abortions,

abortion rights activists are simply asking for the ability to have abortions remain accessible. Really, there should not even be an issue. The only reason the intense opposition exists is because politics got involved with religion. If it is your belief that having an abortion is killing a child, then fine. You have every right to stand strong on that view point. However, forcing your religion on others is unnecessary, irresponsible and insulting. America was created because people wanted the freedom to choose what they believe in. By forcing your beliefs on others through tedious legislation, you cause the sole foundation that this country was built on to crumble. Meanwhile, burdening abortion clinics such as Planned Parenthood with ridiculous regulations that are blatantly biased toward anti-abortion beliefs is not helping anyone. Preventing women from getting abortions who truly believe it is the right thing to do could be raising the number of foster children in the country. So no, fewer abortions per year are not necessarily what we want. What we should aim for is teaching people how to prevent unplanned pregnancies. If Arizona truly cares about the rights of women, they will take back the laws that are preventing them from making one of their most sensitive choices — child birth.

Editorial&Opinion

Anti-abortion demonstration on campus misguided

9-9-9 is a joke, and so is Cain A I

remember the smartest thing my grandfather told me. He said, “Derek, there are two things you can’t avoid in this life: eating green beans and paying your taxes, so you might as well get over it.” Powerful, I know. Though his claim wasn’t completely accurate — I can’t even remember the last green bean which entered my mouth — he had a point. Everyone has to pay taxes, and sometimes rich people even pay them too. This actually poses a big problem in our country. The current distribution of federal tax obligations is horribly burdened on working class Americans. Thankfully for us all, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has proposed a 9-9-9 tax plan — which would effectively make the current system even more unbalanced. Derek The 9-9-9 in Cain’s plan refers to a nine perschroeder cent national sales tax, nine percent income tax and nine percent business tax. This system would replace the current tax code, although the sales tax would be implemented on top of state sales tax. Cain’s plan reduces the possible exemptions currently in place on income taxes to charitable donations and “empowerment” zones, which benefits inner-city employees. The sales tax would apply to new goods only, and the business tax tightens loopholes and additionally lowers exemptions — making tax evasion for notoriously corrupt small-business owners less possible. Cain’s plan ignores a concept I like to call proportion. A flat income tax rate of nine percent when applied to a $40,000 income and a $2 million income does not yield proportionally equivalent results. Considering about half of Americans currently pay no income tax, this is a substantial burden on lower income families who will have to account for a considerable expense increase. It’s true that there are some benefits to Cain’s plan. Millionaires and single, middle income tax filers would end up paying less, but according to politifact.com, 83.8 percent of people will pay more in taxes under the 9-9-9 plan. That 84 percentile excludes one group: individuals with incomes higher than $1 million. The tax break these people would enjoy under Cain’s plan? $487,300. Let me make one thing obvious — I don’t oppose paying more in taxes. As Grandpa pointed out to me, everyone has to do it. What I do oppose is placing that burden on the working class and passing it off as simplified tax reform. Republicans love lowering taxes more than Democrats love sex scandals, but Cain’s plan doesn’t do that — it disproportionally raises them for the people with the least amount of room for “belt-tightening.” Herman Cain, and politicians in general, need to stop trying to trick us into believing their political hocus-pocus. Even Ronald Reagan — a Republican demi-god — knew people couldn’t keep cutting taxes until the well ran dry. Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan is a joke that isn’t funny. It is the same offensively sophomoric campaign tactic which has come to define the political atmosphere, and should be treated as such. We don’t need catchphrases, we need solutions.

bortion took the stage on NAU’s Pedway Oct. 17 and 18, when the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) came out in full force, complete with graphic pictures. There was not a single thing wrong with this group using their First Amendment rights to voice their anti-abortion stance, but how they did it was quite disturbing. Walking north Shane towards the Union, Pogue many students were greeted with large banners with pictures of aborted fetuses. This was a delightful sight for someone eating breakfast on that Monday or Tuesday morning. It was not just the grotesque pictures that were adorning these banners, but there were graphics on them comparing abortion to the Holocaust or other genocides. Genocide is defined in the

Webster Dictionary as “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.” Nowhere in that definition does it say “fetus.” When somebody hears the word “genocide,” the Holocaust or the genocides taking place on the African continent comes to mind: not fetuses. The group is currently on the road and making stops at universities to display how abortion is comparable to the heinous acts of Adolf Hitler or African dictators. They are playing into an ad populist idea and injecting fear into their very radical stance. NAU has a diverse cultural background, and this should offend any ethnic group on campus. Jewish students may have had family members interned or killed in the Holocaust. It is disappointing that NAU would allow the GAP to take such a radical, disturbing and insensitive stance in a public forum. There was something else that

was mind bogglingly disturbing — the people standing behind the barriers. They were mostly men. Yes, males: the ones who do not have to carry a child for nine months and then give birth. Yeah, that gender. At one point the ratio was six males to one female. At one point a question was asked for a woman, other than the one with the group, to speak up. No one said a word. Why should a group of mostly males be deciding what a woman does with her body? Women do have the right to choose. As one sign read from a female abortion rights protester, “My body, my choice.” Even with pictures barely permissible, GAP used their First Amendment right proudly. However, it was encouraging to see the outcry from NAU’s students speaking against them, and using their First Amendment rights to defend human rights and dignity.

Obama commits troops to Uganda, positive step

or two decades, central Africa has been fighting against the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), a group responsible for atrocities against human rights. Last week, President Obama announced plans — without Congressional consent — to send 100 US special operation troops to Uganda to aid in desperately needed military strategizing against the LRA and Amanda its leaders. horner Because it is widely understood the United States has appointed itself the global police force, it is safe to say President Obama is making the right decision. Skeptics might see sending forces as purely a political move to gain allies in the region. Whether this is the case, we know we can rely on U.S. troops to aid in the capture of the LRA’s leader, Joseph Kony, who needs to be

brought to justice immediately. The U.S. troops are not being sent to engage in combat. They are being sent to help teach the victims to survive on their own with military and communication strategies. They also intend to help in the capture of Kony and his head comrades, who are assumed to be hiding along the Congo-Sudan border. Many of the towns attacked are in treacherous terrain and lack technological services, making it difficult for victims to fight back or seek help. Sustainable aid is exactly what the nation needs and our welltrained soldiers are more than able to provide that much. This aid would give hope to all who have suffered at the hands of the LRA. This assistance is a significant step toward securing human rights. It has been an ongoing issue which has needed more attention than it has previously received. The issue seems to have got-

ten swept under the rug in the U.S. public’s eye, largely due to the media focus on the Arab Spring. While the Arab Spring certainly deserves public concern, it does not mean that we should avert our eyes from these continuing genocides in Africa. A few senators have expressed discontent with Obama not requesting Congressional permission to send the troops first. Many people have raised eyebrows at Obama’s real motives. Regardless of whether it is a political façade to increase U.S. political power, the benefits will still stretch through the communities affected by the LRA. We can help to stop the violence which devastates too many nations. When you consider the terrible situations many African nations face because of the LRA, accusations of an alleged ulterior motive seem less significant. It is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue. The ends justify the means.

he lab greeted students with an ambiance of fluorescents and formaldehyde. Jess, Karen and Matt shrugged on their white coats and pulled down their twin-filter masks to approach their designated cadaver: pale and prone, the face covered with a square of grey cloth. While the professor briefed the class on the day’s objectives, Matt liberated a hooked instrument from the tray and prodded at Karen. She squealed, swatting at him. Jess rolled her eyes. Finally, the professor flicked his hands, a gesture freeing them to work. “Right,” Jess said, voice echoing in her mask. “Matt, since you’re so enthralled with the tools, you’re going to be my tray-monkey. Scalpel.” Matt slouched, but slapped the instrument in Jess’s outstretched palm. Karen glanced around. “Should we wait to see if Dianna shows up?” “No, you can fill her in if she gets here.” Cords of flesh snapped under the pressure of Jess’s surgical knife as she carved the opening incision. From the slit welled up red, liquid warmth. It spilled over her latexed fingers and she jolted back, dropping the scalpel. It clattered on the floor. “What’s going on over there?” The professor craned his neck to stare at them. “It’s bleeding,” said Matt, stepping away to let the professor approach. Karen’s hands were clamped over her mask. “Oh, my god – ” “All right,” the professor said, “Let’s put this one away.” He lifted the cloth from the cadaver’s face and a hush fell over the lab. The face belonged to Dianna.

n light of the upcoming holiday it is time the score is settled. Who wins? Vampires or zombies? Immediately, whenever anyone mentions the “V” word, people think of one thing: Twilight, and the tween romance novels and movies that have sparked a massive cult following for no apparent reason. But it is time that someone revives the true nature of this undead evil — not some lame twinkly teens running around in the forest, but the bloodsucking, throat-ripping monsters of lore. The monsters who instilled fear in all who witnessed their terror, who gave us sleepless nights when we ignored our parents and stayed up late to watch scary movies. As my colleague will no doubt say, Twilight has ruined vampires for everyone. But has it really? Perhaps Twilight has given the vampire legend the push it needs to come back with a blood-thirsty vengeance that can only be quenched by the slaughter of the innocent. The same could be said for the lifeless corpses whom he represents: Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland, for example, did little to solidify the zombies’ place in our nightmares. Such comedies prove that no one takes zombies seriously. Honestly, which is more frightening — a group of slow moving, thoughtless goons chasing you, or an evil so genius and calculated that it could kill you without you even knowing? If we compare the two based solely on how evil their respective legends are, the argument is already over. Vampires win. Have we forgotten Interview with a Vampire? Tom Cruise portrays one of the most evil vampires in cinema history. You cannot compete with that kind of crazy.

Illustrations by Jessie Mansur

If Shaun of the Dead is any indication of what a zombie apocalypse will be like then we will all be fine — just make sure you have a healthy stack of vinyl records to throw about. Vampires on the other hand are extremely entertaining. If Kate Beckinsale can run around in tight latex suits playing a vampire for the duration of a movie, shooting stuff, then yes, I will pay $10 to see it. And I will enjoy every frame of it. No movie star would ever want to play a zombie. You never saw Patrick Swayze stumbling across the screen groaning for more brain-ey goodness. Nor did you see Morgan Freeman calmly narrate the scene in which he devoured the flesh of the living. This is because there is nothing very flashy or entertaining about zombies. They are quite boring in fact. They all more or less do the same thing. Get bitten, turn into a zombie and then have their brains blown out by a shotgun. Zombies are too predictable. Even the zombie apocalypse is something you can prepare for. Surviving something like that is simple. All you need is a healthy supply of bullets, a very big gun and some chewing gum to break up the monotony of decapitating your annoying undead neighbors. Our blood-thirsty friends, however, are a completely different story. You cannot plan on surviving a vampire apocalypse, because there would never be one. Vampires would just sneak up on you in your sleep and suck you dry. By the time you knew what was happening you’d be dead. Don’t be fooled — vampires are formidable beasts of cunning, seductive power. Zombies, and humans as well, pale in comparison to the immaculate complexion of the cursed souls.

zombies

he zombie is the slow-paced destroyer of the world — a walking representation of the very thing humans fear the most: death. The zombie is at the core of our deepest nightmares and is the bane of our most hopeful daydreams. A longtime counterpart of the zombie — the vampire — has recently been given a once-over by current popular culture. Unlike the zombie, this process has stolen much of the vampire’s bite (pun definitely intended). While the once-dark terror of the night has recently been degraded to boy band status, the legend of the zombie has traveled down through the sands of time and has arrived to our day stronger than ever. Zombies bring humans together better than ping-pong, because all flesh tastes the same. It does not matter if you are white, black, purple, missing a limb or vegetarian: to a horde of the undead you are delicious just the way you are. The zombie does not discriminate — we are all just one nutritious and delicious protein source. Humans generally feel the same about zombies as well. They are a great uniting force for humans because — in the extremely probable occurrence of the undead apocalypse — we either stand together, or slowly get torn apart limb by limb. That is an empowering feeling. Vampires cannot generate this kind of universal connectedness because vampires do the exact opposite: they tear humans apart by putting us into militant-like groups such as “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob.” A zombie uprising can help you cross so many things off of your bucket list, like driving on a highway with reckless abandonment, practical fortbuilding, being dramatically rescued by a helicopter or maybe just finding a legitimate use for that machete collecting dust in your garage. A machete without

a zombie is like an Oreo without milk. The vampire does not open the door to opportunities the way the zombie does. They will take your blood or your virginity and leave you to mope around about your teenage mortality. Just look at how much more engaging the act of zombie extermination is compared to the vampire hunt. Vampires require too much deliberation and strategy. You cannot run them over with a bulldozer, bash them with a cricket bat or suck them into a black hole like you can with a zombie. A shotgun to the vampire is one degree above an unwanted sponge bath — very little physical damage and a lot of emotional confusion. Silver bullets are expensive, and impossible to find in the time of need. Zombies, on the other hand, promote creativity and resourcefulness. Imagine the following scenario: your boring professor snaps tomorrow in class and starts munching on the arm of kid in the front row who always sleeps through lecture. Everyone panics and runs, but you know that a well-placed binder toss could dislodge the fan directly above the mindless professor, cutting him into manageably-sized pieces of ex-zombie. You are now a local hero and the GOP asks you to run for president. And it is all because of a zombie. Face it. It does not get better than zombies. They are slow, easy to kill and even easier to love. They bring us together — when they are not tearing us apart — and they keep us aware of the importance of working in a community. Utter-sucking vampires do nothing but look more attractive than us, manipulate us and leave us to suffer the ravages of old age. Zombies are humble and simple creatures who have no control over themselves and their quest for flesh. They may be a mindless undead personification of our worst fears — but they are not heartless. Zombies need our love just as much as they need our brains.

Patient 012929 BY daniel daw

This note was found in room 925.

t was a cool fall day, that day I was sent to Taylor House for the Criminally Insane. The doctors said I suffered from schizophrenia, but I knew I was perfectly fine. When you enter an insane asylum you lose all identity: not even your name is important. You are given a number and that is it. Mine is 012929. At night I hear her; she comes, and she speaks to me. In a hellish rage she comes at me. I scream, I scream for the doctors, the orderlies. But none listen. They all play it off as figments of my imagination. They come in at last, with a syringe in hand, and then all goes black. But I know what I saw: the terror of the night. I awaken in the morning to find my cell mate dead from a gash on his neck. The doctors say I killed him. I remember nothing. I fight but they say surveillance tapes incriminate me. I am put in solitary confinement. I am a danger to myself and others, the doctors say. Night after night she comes again and again. She attacks me. She screeched a sound that even hell could not contain. I scream again, time after time I scream and no one answers. This personal hell is too much for one man to endure, and I pray the release of death will save me. Patient 012929 was never seen again. All that was left was this note and a pair of bloodied scissors.

SportsReport Football fails to break dubious streak, falls to Grizzlies BY Brett murdock

t turns out the 14th time was not a charm for the NAU football team. On a day when the campus celebrated and honored alumni, the Lumberjacks could not shake off an old and infamous record, falling to the visiting No. 9 Montana (UM) Grizzlies 28–24 for the 14th consecutive meeting. “It was a well-fought game,” said head coach Jerome Souers. “At the end of the day, the game was defined by execution and responsibilities. They did a better job than we did.” Junior quarterback Cary Grossart led an efficient offense, completing 19 of his 27 attempts for 321 yards and a couple of touchdowns without throwing an interception. Sophomore running back Zach Bauman got back on track after his poor performance last week, rushing for 148 yards on 25 carries and a score. Junior receiver Khalil Paden hauled in six receptions for 167 yards to lead all receivers, catching both of Grossart’s touchdown passes. In the week leading to the match-up,

Jacks ice O Rebels for weekend sweep BY Matt Esaena

n Oct. 21 and 22, the Division II Ice Jacks swept their in-conference rivals, the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) Rebels. For the past two seasons the Jacks split the match-up 2–2 against the Rebels and three of those games were decided by one goal. This past weekend was anything but a close series. The Jacks took the first game with a score of 6–2 and dominated the second 11–3. UNLV came into the series ranked No. 4 in the West division of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), but the two losses dropped the Rebels to No. 12, and moved the Ice Jacks to No. 6. “We’ve never beaten UNLV two in a row like

that,” said head coach Keith Johansen. “We were hitting hard and playing hard; that’s what led to the win.” On Saturday, after going down 1–0 early in the first period, the Jacks skated through sloppy play, regained focus and started to pour pucks in the back of the net, keeping the score-keeper busy as they buried 11 goals. Sophomore forward Greg Park led the way with a hat trick. The Jacks increased their lead with help from junior forward Nick Short and freshman forward Vinny Eck. Sophomore defenseman Carter Achilles and sophomore forward James Terry found the back of the net for their first goals of the season. Junior goalie Quinn Mason was solid in-between the

SportShorts

pipes with 33 saves. “It felt good to get a hat trick against a good team,” Park said. “It was a good feeling beating them after splitting games against them last year.” The turning point in the game came early in the second period when the Jacks led the game 5–2. UNLV was still in the game and showing some life until a Rebel put a dirty hit on sophomore defenseman Liam Ayoub. Junior defenseman Justin Frenchoine went after the UNLV player and they exchanged punches at center ice. After the altercation Frenchoine was ejected for the remainder of the game and received a three game suspension see HOCKEY page 17

SportsReport Hoops to return to Rolle for home games BY Torey ziska

oud. High-energy. Electric. These words describe the atmosphere felt during NAU basketball games at Rolle Activity Center during the 2010-11 season. The same cannot be said of the atmosphere at the Walkup Skydome — where until last season NAU had played basketball since 1977, the year the Skydome was built. Last season, because of the Skydome renovations, the Jacks were forced to play all of their home games at Rolle. However, despite the significantly smaller venue, players and coaches agreed they enjoyed games at Rolle far more. “I definitely prefer Rolle because everything is compacted and the fans are on top of you,” said Lumberjack junior guard Stallon Saldivar. “They give us that real home-court advantage.” One of the biggest reasons for the decision to play all the games at Rolle this year was because of the fans. “We got a lot of feedback from the fans, players and coaches,” said NAU Athletic Director Jim Fallis. “Everybody really liked the environment and I think certainly there was a couple of games where the environment helped and created some home-court advantage.” According to Fallis, there was also strong feedback from season-ticket holders that attending games at Rolle was a much more entertaining atmosphere than the Skydome. NAU head coach Mike Adras is certainly onboard with the decision. “A lot of the fans who came to the games last year really liked the environment we had,” Adras said. “We had a great record and a great atmosphere in this building. And they’re getting new bleachers and seats in here for people.” Indeed the Jacks did have a great record in Rolle last season, as they went 11–1 in the building during the regular season. According to Fallis, Rolle currently holds 900 people, but that will expand to over 1,200 once the process has been completed, which should be around Dec. 10. “If all goes according to schedule, the new seating will be there when the students get back for second semester,” Fallis said. Currently, there are no plans to have games in the Skydome anytime soon.

from the league. NAU gained momentum from Frenchoine’s actions which fired up the crowd, allowing the Jacks to score six unanswered goals in the third period to send UNLV back to Vegas. “This series was huge for the standings,” said team captain, senior forward Tucker Braund. “I feel like we didn’t even play our best game tonight. With an organized game plan, sophomore goaltender James Korte blocked the puck 32 times to earn the win for the Jacks on Friday night. Offensively, the Jacks added goals from sophomore forward Ryan Greenspan and senior forward Michael Farnham. Junior forward Rocky DeAngelo got his name on the statistic sheet with his first goal of the season, ending an eight-game drought. This past weekend, the Jacks defensive play looked better than it had all season. They made better passes in their own zone and at times were able to break the puck out of their zone with ease. The Ice Jacks are riding a three game win-streak and are looking to improve as the season goes along. “Everything starts in practice. You have to practice the way you play,” Achilles said. “The desire to win a national championship is here in this locker room. Next weekend the Jacks take on the University of Northern Colorado. Both games will be played at Jay Lively Ice Arena.

the Lumberjacks stressed getting off to a quick start and wasting no time. On the first play from scrimmage, Grossart found Paden for a 77-yard strike to put the Jacks up 7–0 just 16 seconds into the game. Following a UM punt, the Jacks leaned heavily on Bauman for the next drive, who rewarded them with a 37-yard touchdown scamper to give NAU a 14–0 lead. “We came into the game on a mission to win,” Paden said. “I think how we came out showed that we were ready to go and we weren’t playing around.” The Grizzlies eventually got on the scoreboard in a UM-dominated second quarter when quarterback Jordan Johnson found running back Peter Nguyen on a 20-yard screen pass, ending a nine-play, 80 yard drive. UM pulled into a tie on their next possession with running back Jordan Canada finding the end zone from a yard out just before the half. The Grizzlies’ Jabin Sambrano put his team on top for the first time when he went untounched to the end zone on an 80-yard reverse. “It was a nice play call by coach,” Sambrano said. “They were tucked back so far, they thought we were going to be passing the ball.” NAU took back the lead on their opening drive of the fourth quarter with Grossart

hooking up with Paden on another big play, this one a 51-yard touchdown connection. The curse appeared to be broken, but such was not the case. The Grizzlies responded with a big kick return, echoing the teams’ 2010 meeting in Missoula. Canada then sprinted 46 yards to paydirt on the next play, putting UM ahead once again. The Lumberjacks had posssession of the ball with just over four minutes left. Grossart completed numerous short passes to help move the ball into Grizzlies territory. Following a sack on Grossart, senior receiver Mike Czyz dropped a critical pass that would have given NAU a first down. Facing a fourth down and six, Grossart could not escape heavy UM pressure and was sacked, ending NAU’s hopes for a comeback. “We were ready to go for these guys but like KP [Khalil Paden] said, you’ve got to finish,” Grossart said. “We just didn’t do that today. Hopefully this lights a fire under us for next week.” Souers noted that some fundamentals were lost during key plays and drives that could have swung the game in the Lumberjacks’ favor. “At the end of the day, the game was defined by tackling, blocking,” Souers said. “We certainly didn’t play perfectly but we gave a great effort.”

Paranormal Activity 3 is a thriller

Artist: Body Language Album: Social Studies Genre: Electonica

that lacks a coherent plot but still brings the scares.

Directed by Henry Joost. Starring Chloe Csengery, Jessica Tyler Brown and Christopher Nicholas Smith. Running time: 85 minutes. Rated R.

By alyssa burkett

aranormal Activity 3, the prequel to the popular Paranormal horror series, manages to build up the anticipation and successfully keep audiences at the edge of their seats. While the film feels mediocre, there is a good amount of fright value that makes it worth watching for pure entertainment’s sake. As far as cinematography, look forward to that gimmicky but still enjoyable “shaky-cam” feature that is meant to give a realistic, homemovie feel. The cheesy encounters with the paranormal and the awkward plot holes of the film are easily set aside if you are looking for a good scare. In the latest Paranormal, the characters are reintroduced and questions about their past are answered, including why there is an entity haunting and possessing members of this family. Katie (Chloe Csengery) and Kristi Rey (Jessica Tyler Brown) are young sisters living with their mother, Julie (Lauren Bittner) and her videographer boyfriend, Dennis (Christopher Nicholas Smith.) Strange occurrences begin when the boyfriend watches a

video he filmed of himself and Julie in their bedroom and sees something or someone that does not belong, so he begins making a habit of filming their house to watch for anything else. Kristi provides the first warning signs when she makes an invisible friend that lives in her closet and is recorded talking to him. Through the film, Kristi’s relationship with the unexplained presence gets progressively less friendly until the specter begins to act threateningly towards the family. This is about when the irritated presence loses patience and goes all-out, bullying the girls and putting on an act to stir up a reaction. There is a significant amount of character development that was not seen in the past Paranormal films, and it makes the fear for the characters more palpable. You get to know the family well and you are able to sympathize with each of them as their situation grows progressively worse. This also makes it easier to get angry or feel relief as far as their decision-making goes. Paranormal Activity 3 answers any questions that were proposed by the past films but there is also a lack of logic in the plot and the ending fell short. Through the film,

the audience is anticipating the worst for this family with the threat of the unknown but there is never a real answer as to what or who the creature is. It seems like the wrong questions were answered. While the film focused mainly on the family’s involvement with the supernatural, the antagonist still remains invisible to us with the exception of floating furniture and watching the presence mangle human limbs. As cool as the former may seem, it turned out to be mostly unsatisfying. Paranormal Activity 3 does manage to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors in terms of casually inducing horror, which makes this a good film to watch due to its ability to keep the skin crawling. The film has a slight advantage over generic horror films because many of the scenes occur during the day instead of only at night. Although keep in mind, there is nothing much to look forward to plot-wise when the storyline does not quite fit together and the conclusion is less than impressive. Overall, the answer to this paranormal debacle proved to be somewhat of a copout and oddly normal after all the spooky build-up.

QuickFlick Johnny English Reborn By MONAE GUNN

e has dedicated himself to being a monk, and immersed himself in a world of peace, tranquility and martial arts. His calm is suddenly interrupted by a call from Toshiba British Intelligence urging him to help stop a global crisis. Enter English — Johnny English. Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) is called back to M17 yet again because they need him to stop the evil Vortex organization from killing the Chinese Premier and wreaking global havoc. The three members of

the Vortex each hold one key, which when combined can unlock a deadly weapon with powers to destroy the earth. English and his partner, Tucker (Daniel Kaluuya), obtain one of the keys but lose it on the flight back to the United Kingdom from Hong Kong. While attempting to complete the mission, English gets accused of being one of the members of the Vortex, falls in love and beats up a few older women by accident. Without giving away the whole plot, Johnny English is guaranteed to make you laugh. It offers Rowan Atkinson’s classic sense of humor and

other hilarious characters that manage to make you chuckle as well. English bears many resemblances to James Bond, except for he is incompetent, lacking intelligence and unable to effectively do his job. While the film does contain many clichéd and overused elements, the sight of English jacking a wheelchair and using it to evade the cops made up for all of that. Johnny English Reborn is definitely a must-see if you want a guaranteed laugh. Mr. Bean doesn’t disappoint, and it is easy to see why Johnny English is reborn.

f you are one of those people who thinks the age of disco and funk is long gone, this album may change your mind. Body Language’s Social Studies features a wonderful amalgamation of funk, disco, electronic and dance music, providing a one-of-a-kind listening experience. Social Studies is the band’s second album, featuring founding members Matt Young and Grant Wheeler, along with new vocalist Angelica Bess and drummer Ian Chang. Social Studies as a whole has a general ethereal feel, dreamlike grooves and pretty awesome funk elements. Their song “Falling Out” exemplifies this with a funky bass line, and Bess’s sultry but sweet vocal style. “Seeds of Sight” features a light and almost sunny feel, while brilliantly combining the three main vocalists’ talents. “Running” is one of the album’s upbeat pop-esque songs featuring Chang’s percussive skills and is one that some might find themselves moving along with the groove. With a unique mix of musical styles along with the mastery of vocals, Body Language’s Social Studies seems to have something to offer for all tastes. If nothing else, it is a great album if you just need to get out and dance. Best Tracks: “Falling Out” and “Running”

Artist: Ryan Adams Album: Ashes & Fire Genre: Folk

By derek schroeder

yan Adams is a lonely man. Despite over a dozen studio albums and having Mandy Moore for a wife, poor Ryan just can’t seem to pen a peppy tune. Adams’ fans know this — and have been patiently waiting more of that trademark acoustic counseling only he can offer through an onslaught of poorly executed deviations. Ashes and Fire sounds just like his widely respected releases — and that’s why it is so good. I can’t listen to a single song off Ashes and Fire without imagining Adams’ song-writing process: an empty hotel room, a bottle of cheap whiskey and a cigarette sewn to his lower lip. “Dirty Rain” — the album opener — is the sonic equivalence of that atmosphere. Adams is an unlikely architect, creating meaning where there is none, and building an emotional ambiance out of apathy. The most impressive thing about Ashes and Fire is that it doesn’t suck. Adams releases an album at about the same frequency as lunar eclipses, which is to say, a lot more often than you would think. Most of his recent efforts — including a space-themed metal album — are musical burps more fittingly used as drink coasters or sharp little Frisbees. I fail to think of another artist with so many terrible songs amid so many incredible gems. Ashes and Fire, however, embraces years of emotional baggage in a warm, fuzzy hug. Welcome back, Ryan. We missed you. Best Tracks: “Dirty Rain” and “Ashes & Fire”

Halloween Harvest: costumes, kids and candy BY Naomi Thalenberg

umpkins and candy are finally in season as we approach Oct. 31, a night to be filled with chilling anecdotes which awaken the forgotten horrors of the past. Every Halloween, children and families dress in bloody masks and funny costumes to celebrate the annual Halloween Harvest Festival (HHF) and participate in events such as an arts and crafts booth, a few trick-or-treat trails, an offering of carnival games, a pumpkin patch and a children’s costume contest. The event originated at the Jay Lively Activity Center’s lobby over 20 years ago and later spread outside into the parking lot. The festival grew in popularity each year and had to move around to different parks and venues in town. When it reached 5,000 participants, the city decided it would be hosted in historic downtown Flagstaff where non-profit organizations could set up their booths at Heritage Square and be able to expand activities for future Halloweens to come.

Glorice Pavey, a senior event coordinator, said the event has been around for as long as she can remember and its success could not have been achieved without downtown businesses and its sponsors. “The thing I love most about the Halloween Harvest is how willing the community is to come together to create a fun and safe event for the kids,” Pavey said. “We couldn’t do this event if the downtown businesses didn’t give out candy. In addition, numerous organizations like the YMCA, the United Way and the county set up candy stations or help us with volunteers.” Pavey said it is very important the event remains free to the public in order to accommodate families of different income levels. “Parents are looking for a safe and inexpensive place to bring their kids on Halloween,” Pavey said. “As the city [of Flagstaff], we try to create a quality event. That means that we get the carnival game prizes that you aren’t apt to throw away immediately and work with the Farmer’s Market to bring

about 500 pumpkins to the event, which the kids can bring home with them after they’ve been decorated.” In 2009, the Arizona Parks and Recreation services voted the HHF as “Most Outstanding Community Event.” The event is hosted by the city of Flagstaff Recreation Services, and radio stations KOLT; The Canyon; and The Wolf and Big Talker; as well as Toyota, Around the Mountain Pediatric Dentistry, Flagstaff Junior Academy, Northland Preparatory Academy and Coca-Cola are all sponsors this year. Pavey said it is the “million-dollar question” of what she will dress up as at this year’s event. She said the most important part about the event is to provide a safe environment for the kids and their families to be a part of. “I love the look on the kids’ faces when they see how much there is to do,” Pavey said regarding the crowds of people who participate. “It’s priceless.” All activities will begin at 4 p.m. and go until 7 p.m. For further information about the event go to www.flagstaff.az.gov/recreation.

Potter, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked and Fantasia. Urbactchka said the FSO is attempting to dispel modern society’s beliefs that the symphony is an old and antiquated form of musical entertainment. “People have this preconceived notion that the symphony is slow, classical music and stereotypical Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, but it’s not,” Urbacthka said. Urbacthka said the music’s inherent difficulties and complexities make it a challenge for orchestra members to play properly. “Harry Potter is extremely difficult on every single level. It’s great to listen to and it’s fun to listen to, but it’s really, really technical and it’s really hard,” Urbacthka said. “It’s going to be fun to listen to, but hard for them to play.” Tickets are available to NAU students for $8.
