9/11 Commemorative Issue Deployment Helps Strengthen Family Colonel Matthew Haber sat at the foot of his daughter’s bed, repeating the words, “I love you” as tears rolled down his cheeks.

Anna Haber was just 11 years old when her father broke the news: He was being deployed to Stuttgart, Germany and would be away for four months. She lay in bed that night, watching her father cry for just the second time in her life, but she was still too young to really understand.

“At that age, it doesn’t set in until the next day when your dad isn’t there,” said Anna, now a junior marketing major at Mason. “At that point, you can’t just call and tell him to come home.”

Col. Haber spent four months in Germany, leaving his wife to care for both Anna and her younger brother, Michael. Both children were becoming increasingly involved in sports and choir but Jane Haber, Anna’s mother, did what she had to do to keep everything as normal as possible.

“It helps having good kids,” Mrs. Haber said. “You have no choice. You just do what you have to do. But the kids made it easy.”

Still, though, his time in Germany would pale in comparison to what was coming.

USAF Veteran Finds Healing in Mason’s Philsophy Program As American Airlines Flight 77 approached the Pentagon, it took out power lines and a generator before smashing into the western side of the building. Fifty-three passengers and six crew members were killed in the crash and a section of the Pentagon collapsed from impact.

Senior Airman Rachel Moran, a computer systems operator for the Air Force at the Pentagon, just happened to not be at work that September morning.

“It was a surreal time,” Moran said.

“Things at work didn’t really change

until the war in 2003 but in other aspects of life everything changed immediately. Everyone was just in shock.”

One week after the attacks, letters containing anthrax were mailed to several news media offices and politicians, killing five and infecting 17. Just one year later, John Allen Mohammed and Lee Boyd Malvo terrorized the Beltway with a spree of sniper shootings.

Sept. 11 Memorial Costs

NEW YORK (AP) — With its huge reflecting pools, ringed by waterfalls and skyscrapers, and a cavernous underground museum still under construction, the National Sept.

11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center is an awesome spectacle that moved and inspired some 4.5 million visitors in its first year.

But all that eye-welling magnificence comes with a jawdropping price tag. The foundation that runs the memorial estimates that once the roughly $700 million project is complete, the memorial and museum will together cost $60 million a year to operate.

The anticipated cost has bothered some critics and raised concerns even among the memorial’s allies that the budget may be unsustainable without a hefty government subsidy.

Surprise Methods Heal Wounded Troops

Never Forget The Pentagon Memorial, which was dedicated and opened to the public on Sept. 11, 2008, features cantilevered benches, lighted pools of flowing water and a permanent tributes, by name, to each victim. At the 125 Memorial Units honoring the victims of the Pentagon, visitors see the victim’s name and the Pentagon in the same view. At the Memorial Units honoring the 59 lives lost on Flight 77, the visitor sees the victim’s name and the direction of the plane’s approach in the same view.

2,977

The number of victims who lost their lives as a result of the attacks on 9/11.

BOSTON (AP) — Scientists are growing ears, bone and skin in the lab, and doctors are planning more face transplants and other extreme plastic surgeries. Around the country, the most advanced medical tools that exist are now being deployed to help America’s newest veterans and wounded troops.

—In Los Angeles, surgeons used part of Michael Mills’ forehead to rebuild his nose after a bomb disfigured him in Iraq.

—In Pittsburgh, doctors used an experimental therapy from pig tissue to help regrow part of a thigh muscle that Ron Strang lost in a blast in Afghanistan.

—In Boston, scientists are making plans for the first implants of lab-grown ears for wounded troops after successful experiments in sheep and rats.

—In San Antonio and other cities, doctors are testing sprayed-on skin cells and lab-made sheets of skin to heal burns and other wounds. The ingenuity is impressive: One product was developed from foreskin left over from circumcisions.

Proud to be an American

CODY NORMAN/BROADSIDE

A robed figure of Libertas, Roman goddess of freedom, stands tall in New York Harbor. Dedicated in 1886 by the people of France, Libertas bears a torch upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence: July 4, 1776.

A broken chain lies at her feet as this statue, the Statue of Liberty, serves as a representation of the American culture and welcomes immigrants arriving from abroad.

But what does it mean to be an American?

As you stand atop the hill, watching the guard pace back and forth with such precision as he guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the skyline of Washington D.C. faintly peers through the trees.

More than 400,000 headstones mark our nation’s fallen heroes, lying in the forefront of the nation’s capital.

Pausing for a moment to pay my respects to my greatgrandfather, Captain James E. Herbert, I was overcome by the sacrifice made by each of these young men and women. Each of the headstones, markers that

stretched across the 624-acre mass of rolling hills, signified the true cost of our nation’s greatest quality.

Freedom is not free.

Freedom comes at the significant cost of the more than 400,000 people who have been laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. It comes at the price of brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, friends, husbands and wives. It comes at the price of these brave American people.

With the 11-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 rapidly approaching, I made my way to the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense and stood affixed at the charred black stone that is stacked among the foundation of the Pentagon. Nearly 11 years earlier, American Airlines Flight 77 tore through the first floor of the Pentagon and stole the lives of people, each of whom are marked by a cantilevered bench atop a light pool of flowing water. Each unit provides a permanent tribute to each victim who lost their life in the Pentagon, both on the airplane and in the building,

on that tragic day.

With the image of American flags draped across buildings in the distance, I was surmounted by the thoughts and memories of those who perished. I was overcome by images of each plane slamming into the World Trade Center, roaring through the Pentagon and falling short into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Freedom is not free.

Freedom comes at a significant cost and, as I sat gazing upon the Pentagon Memorial and the tombstones in Arlington Cemetery, I realized what it means to be an American.

The name of American, which belongs to us all in our national capacity, must always acclaim the just pride of patriotism. Patriotism brings energy, faith and devotion that will light our country and all who serve it. Being an American allows us to live free and always remember.

Never forget.

Patriot Leaders Help Transition Incoming Students At Mason, orientation marks one of the first official experiences into college life. It is an experience that is meant to welcome and introduce new students to a whole new lifestyle.

Who better to lead the future student population than current students?

That is where Elizabeth Bodine, a sophomore from Orange Beach, Alabama, and Katelyn Waddle, a junior from Bay Village, Ohio come in.

They are part of an elite group of thirty-one students who spend their summer leading the variety of orientation programs put on

by Orientation and Family Programs and Services (OFPS).

Before greeting you on the first morning of your orientation, the Patriot Leaders have already gone through an extensive training process that prepares them for just this moment.

It starts with the application. Students who are interested must submit the paper application before the start of winter break.

When students come back in January, a series of group interviews, meant to test and highlight a variety of skills, are conducted.

The last step is the one-on-one interview , which is conducted in order to form the final group of students. But that is the easy part.

After going home for two weeks of summer vacation, the Patriot Leaders are back on

campus and begin clocking in several twelvehour training days in order to prepare for their responsibility to lead incoming students.

It was these long days that Bodine points to as the most difficult part of the program.

“It isn’t all fun and games - we do a lot of work. It’s been the most intense job and training that I’ve ever been through, and finding the perseverance to continue, especially when it’s 99 degrees outside, could be difficult.”

It was these long days that yielded the success the Patriot Leaders had at orientation.

The two-day orientation process assigns a group of students to one of the thirty-one group leaders who act as their guide throughout the next 48 hours.

Through small group discussions and group activities, the fully scheduled orientation is designed to positively immerse new students in life on campus while building relationships and providing new levels of reassurance in order to quell anxiousness.

Both Waddle and Bodine, a transfer and out of state student respectively, had unique perspectives to provide through the orientation process. . Waddle wanted “to help other transfer students feel connected to the university right from the start.”

Bodine looks to her personal experiences as a large influence on her Patriot Leader tenure. “My Patriot Leaders during my freshman summer orientation completely changed

my outlook and nervousness about coming to Mason as an out-of-state student, and I wanted to do the same for students who may have been in a similar position.”

Summer is over now, and even after grueling work hours and hot days, both leaders are enthusiastic to continue.

“There is always more to learn in the fields of leadership,” said Bodine. It is clear that discouragement is not in the nature of these Patriot Leaders.

Now that classes have started, both Bodine and Waddle are nostalgic about their time at orientations this summer.

“The most rewarding part of the program is seeing my small group #29 members and other new students around campus and always saying hi and waving or giving them hugs. It lets me know that the summer and all the work that went into it was a success, “ said Waddle who is hoping to continue with OFPS in more of a leadership position.

With increased freshman class sizes, Patriot Leaders are faced with more challenges each year, but this elite group of students consistently rises to the challenges presented to them.

Cabrera’s Road to Mason Filled with Aspirations of Success Angel Cabrera paced through a small town in western Spain.

He was a small boy and didn’t care that the town was impoverished and faltering in many ways. As he walked through the streets, people stopped him to ask who he was related to in the town.

Cabrera spent many summers in the town, talking to people about his grandfather, and was always met with stories of great admiration for one of the men that had a great impact on his life.

“Listening to all these people talk about the admiration they had for my grandfather, I always thought there was no better job than being a teacher,” Cabrera said. “I always thought that being a teacher was the most magical thing anyone could do.”

Cabrera, who holds four degrees, became the dean of the IE Business School in Madrid, ranked one of the top business schools in the world, and was later named the president of Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona.

“I wanted to be in education early on,” Cabrera said. “From there to becoming a university president is a series of accidents.”

Named the sixth president of the

university and taking office in July, Cabrera has the benefit of following two of the longest tenured leaders in Mason’s short history: Dr. George W. Johnson and Dr. Alan Merten.

“I follow two great presidents,” Cabrera said.

“I’m honored to somehow have my name next to theirs.”

Cabrera has spent a significant amount of time speaking with Dr. Johnson and Dr. Merten, working to create a vision for his presidency at Mason.

Though he will not reveal his vision for the university until next fall, Cabrera was clear in saying that his vision is not simply his thoughts or his ideas. His vision is a compilation of ideas from people throughout the community, from politicians to members of the student body.

“I will help clarify [a vision],” Cabrera said.

“And, once it is clear, I will own it. I will be the flag bearer. I will lead the charge. But this is not about what Dr. Cabrera thinks this university should be; it’s about what we, as a community, want this university to become.”

Perhaps his most important tool for connecting with Mason students, Cabrera uses Twitter to hear the voices of students, faculty, staff and alumni. Twitter, he says, has

changed the way he operates as a person and as a leader. He uses it as a valuable tool to connect with people on a more personal level.

“One of the risks that a leader has in any organization is to be separated from the people they are serving,” Cabrera said. “If you don’t understand the people who you are serving, how can you serve them? It is a real risk. If you are not careful, you might be disconnected.”

Twitter, he says, helps him avoid that trap and will help him diagram a vision that includes input from a variety of people throughout the community.

One of the most attractive opportunities about Mason, Cabrera says, is its commitment to innovation and to continued improvement.

“We have been ranked as one of the top up-and-coming universities in the nation,” Cabrera says. “And I hope we can always keep that because it means that we are always asking, ‘How can we do our work better?’”

Cabrera brings a background that closely reflects the diversity and uniqueness of the student body.

Because his journey is not traditional, as he was born in Spain before immigrating to the United States and becoming a proud American citizen, Cabrera was immediately

intrigued by the incredible diversity at the university and believes that his international background may have landed him the job back in December.

His love and curiosity regarding new cultures and new people leads him to believe that diversity is one of the richest forms of education.

In diversity, he sees an opportunity to learn and to see the world through a different pair of eyes.

“Mason, in many ways, represents a new form of university,” Cabrera said. “As someone who is coming from the outside, this is what a modern metropolitan university should be like in the 21st century. And that’s what excites me. Now, we just need to figure out a way to take it a step further.”

Unlike many traditional universities, Cabrera admires Mason’s commitment to diversity. He says it is easy for “universities to become stuck or trapped” by a traditional way of understanding themselves. But, in Mason, Cabrera sees a seemingly mirror-image of himself: Young, unique and innovative.

UPS Diversifies Mailing Services On Fairfax Campus Mason’s new on-campus UPS store is quickly getting the stamp of approval as the new postal service.

Just days before classes began this fall, the store opened, providing new resources and services for students, faculty and area residents alike.

Located in University Hall next to the Panda Express, the UPS store now resides as Mason’s third provider of mail services on campus.

According to Judy Reamy, store owner of area UPS stores, including Mason, UPS as a company has been expanding its base to college campuses because of the need affiliated with the services they as a company provide to students and faculty.

The new store is providing services that have never before been offered on campus.

Before its opening, Mason offered students two other locations at which they could send or receive mail. The first and most well-known on campus can be found in The Hub on the ground floor. There, students can send and receive mail and packages via the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) or through UPS. A stark difference between the services provided at The Hub mailroom and the new UPS store is the ability for off-campus students to have a mailbox and thus receive mail and packages on-campus.

According to a mail services representative, the demand for mailboxes for off-campus students is high. As there is not enough space in The Hub mailroom, these students must be turned away.

Now, the UPS store can fulfill such appeals and provide the opportunity for these students to have mailboxes.

“The UPS store can supply the demand that the Hub mailroom cannot meet,” said the mailroom representative. Over 260 mailboxes in sizes small, medium, and large are available for use at the new UPS store. “Only one is filled so far, and it is by an off-campus student. We have plenty of space!” said UPS store manager Ilka Lazaroff.

For any students without mailboxes anywhere on campus, UPS has the ability to accept packages for students for a $5 pick-up fee.

“We provide convenience and safety for our customers’ packages. Our goal is to be a good service to the people of the area and university as a full service store,” said Lazaroff.

Another noteworthy addition this new store provides for Mason is its more flexible hours of operation.

Although students can send letters from The Hub mailroom until it closes at 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, any packages that need to be delivered must be sent before 3-3:30, due to the strict daily pick-up schedule.

The new UPS store has later pick-up times, which are more favorable for students and faculty with conflicting schedules.

Ground shippings are picked up at 6 p.m.

Monday - Saturday and air shippings are picked up at 7:30 p.m.

Mason students have already taken advantage of the flexible hours. Sophomore Emmary Kelly used the UPS store to return a book back to Amazon that she no longer needed.

“The thing I liked the most about going to the UPS store is how easy it was. I was in and out of there within minutes, and I was happy with the service.”

As well as more flexible hours, the new UPS store provides goods not offered at either postal service providers on campus.

“We have guaranteed delivery, meaning packages always arrive on time,” said Lazaroff.

“We have a small retail section inside the store full of handy office supplies for students to pick up. We can fax, scan, copy, laminate, bind, take passport photos, provide notary services, and even order business cards and invitations.”

Kelly also noted another difference between the new UPS store and The Hub mailroom that further expanded on her enjoyable experience there.

“The UPS store is very open, compared to Sub II, which is tight and crowded. The employees at the UPS store were friendly and efficient in their work. I was very surprised about how fast and easy it was to use,” said Kelly.

The other spot on campus in which students can easily send mail and packages is Patriot Postal and Packaging, located behind Freshens, next to the old Apple Federal Credit Union.

Though small and tucked away in a pocket of the JC, this convenient location for postal services provides the basic necessities for students and faculty at the heart of campus.

Though no mail can be picked up here, mail and packages can be sent out.

This location also offers basic mailing and packaging supplies such as stamps and envelopes, though not as much as the new UPS store provides. This differs from The Hub mailroom, which does not offer any such commodities.

Though only in their third week of operation, Lazaroff and the other UPS store employees have already thoroughly enjoyed their time at Mason.

“Since the store’s been open, I have really enjoyed meeting all the faculty and students that come in and who will hopefully become regular customers,” said Lazaroff.

“We’re happy to see more people coming in every day and to establish ourselves in this great community at Mason,” said Lazaroff.

Mason’s Endeavor to Go Global Following a summer retreat between the Board of Visitors, the Board of Trustees, and the President’s Council, a general theme has connected many university administration discussions: Mason’s endeavor to go “global.”

As President Cabrera has directed Mason to reflect on its vision, the question emerging is not whether to go global, but how to go global.

An example of this mission is Mason’s pursuit of a satellite campus in Songdo, South Korea, a topic discussed by several members of the Board of Visitors last Wednesday. Mason is aiming for a bifurcate goal—both to bring more international students to Mason (such as through the current 2+2 relationship with China), and to send more American students abroad.

GAPSA President Steve Scott, the graduate student representative to the Board, described the Songdo initiative as “one of Mason’s most ambitious to date,” having “enormous potential to connect the Mason community to the dynamism that is occurring in East Asia right now.” As the various partners in the project work out the logistics (other institutions involved include State University of New York and the University of Utah), there is clear excitement in the air.

As a personal reflection, I am excited to see

the path that Mason now has the opportunity to forge. The concept of “studying abroad” has been around for quite some time now; the Korean campus, and many other comparable endeavors, represent the chance for Mason to redefine the global education experience.

Further, the Board and the administration have been very receptive to student input.

At the meeting on Wednesday, I noted to the Board existing student concerns about studying abroad, such as financing, security and fitting the earned credits into one’s major.

They immediately provided feedback and promised to prioritize these issues as the plan develops. As the participation of students will be key to the program’s success, I urged the Board keep the role of students in mind as the project advances.

I look forward to representing you on the Board of Visitors this year; if you ever have comments you would like me to bring before the Board, do not hesitate to contact me at awillil@gmu.edu . The new Rector, the new President, and Visitors on the Board appear poised and ready to bring Mason to the next level: going global.

President Obama Holds Teleconference with College Press On August 28, President Obama embarked on a campaign tour through colleges and universities across the country. While in Ames, Iowa the president took time to hold his first campus press call of the semester. The president made brief remarks before opening up for questions.

He began his remarks by reaffirming his belief that this election is a choice and that students play a critical role in deciding who the next president will be. He said, “The choice [young people] face could not be bigger or more conseq u e n t i a l ”.

President Obama also addressed the notion that young people are discouraged and therefore won’t turn out with the same enthusiasm as they did in 2008.

However, he didn’t believe that to be the case. He was optimistic the youth vote would turn out again this election cycle, because he has seen “the changes they have been able to bring about”. Changes such as a new tax cut that saves families up to $10,000 on their tuition over four years, doubling grant aid for millions of students, urging congress to keep student loan interest rates low and not doubling, ending the discriminatory policy of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”, and passing health care reform making available preventative care to young women.

President Obama has charged the republicans of wanting to keep the youth turn out low saying, “frankly the other side’s strategy is to make young people so discouraged they choose to sit out this election.”

He attacked Mr. Romney’s plan to create jobs of proposing another $250,000 tax cut for those making over three million dollars a year. “The fact is we have tried that approach for a decade and it didn’t work”, he said. The president went even further saying, “I refuse to pay for another millionaire’s tax cut by raising

taxes on the middle class or cutting financial aid to 10 million students.” He described Mr. Romney’s plan as trickle down economics, but characterized his plan as, “middle out and bottom up economics where everybody is getting a fair shot”. The president concluded by framing the choice as he saw it.

In terms of health care the president said, “young people will be able to choose whether we go back to a health care system that lets insurance companies decide who to drop, and when, or whether we are going to move forward with the new health care law that’s already cutting cost, covering more people, and saving lives”.

When it came to national security, war, and peace the president saw it as a choice between Mr. Romney not offering a plan on how to bring the war in Afghanistan to a close or his vision being “smart and secure”, and making sure that “veterans are served as well as they have served us”.

National polls continue to show the race for the White House between President Obama and former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney to be tight and within the margin of error. Mitt Romney and his republican allies have just caped off their national convention in Tampa, Florida.

The president and the democrats are set to gather in Charlotte, North Carolina. Just as it was for Mitt Romney, President Obama will have to sell the American people on his vision for America. In a close race such as this one it may be the youth vote that swings this election and both campaigns are doing everything they can to appeal to this crucial voting bloc.

9/11 G.I. Bill Allows Veteran to Pursue Her Degree in Philsophy STEPHEN KLINE/BROADSIDE

Father-Daughter Bond Unbroken by Deployment CONTINUED FROM FRONT Col. Haber watched from a classroom in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas as news outlets from across the nation showed clips of American Airlines Flight 11 slamming into the center of the north tower of the World Trade Center. Shortly thereafter, he watched an obscenely familiar shape tear through the south tower. “The moment I saw that, I knew it changed everything,” Col. Haber said.

“It changed everything in my life. It changed the way my kids grew up and the way they lived their life. That moment changed everything.”

Shortly after Sept. 11, Col. Haber was deployed for a six-month tour to Iraq, again leaving his wife to take care of his two children.

“The military is a dangerous profession,” Col. Haber said. “When you sign up, you know you could go to war and be away from your family. But it’s not real until it happens.”

The time away from his family was a struggle. It was something, he says, he never imagined he would have done in the moments prior to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Still, in order to avoid another move prior to Anna’s senior year in high school,

Col. Haber volunteered for a second deployment to Iraq.

“I felt really guilty,” Anna said. “Being a military kid, I knew I could easily handle moving for my senior year.

You just do what you have to do and don’t think twice about it. But he decided he was leaving –and he was leaving because of me -- and I felt really guilty about it.”

Col. Haber continued: “The one thing that I feared was that, God forbid, something happened to me. Not because of what would happen to me, but because Anna would live the rest of her life and blame herself.”

Col. Haber deployed for Iraq on Feb. 1, 2009, during the spring of Anna’s junior year in high school.

As gratitude to her father, Anna tried a variety of new things during her senior year.

Anna captained the varsity cheerleading squad and was voted homecoming queen, both things her father said he never dreamed of happening when he left, and later joined Michael in singing the National Anthem at a basketball game.

“Without actually saying, ‘Thank you,’ it was my way of showing Dad I appreciated the fact that he volunteered

so I could stay in Vegas,” Anna said. “It was all just a big thank you.”

Col. Haber stayed connected with his family with frequent Skype calls, oftentimes calling his wife at soccer games or while the family was in the midst of dancing to Michael Jackson, sliding along the wood floors in their house.

“When he can see us joking around and laughing, it makes him feel good too,” Anna said.

About six months in to his second tour, Col. Haber returned home for a twoweek rest and relaxation period. The family spent much of their traveling throughout California, taking college tours throughout the state so that Col. Haber had some input in his daughter’s college decision.

The rest and relaxation period end all too soon and the family, again, had to say goodbye to Col. Haber as he was deployed to finish the last eight months of a 14-month tour. While saying farewell at the airport, Anna hugged her father tightly, not allowing him to leave her arms.

“That is when you realize it’s impacting your kids,” Col. Haber said. “It’s impacting

your wife, too. It’s hard.”

After completing the final eight months of his tour, Col. Haber returned home to his family.

“Coming home is the best feeling in the world,” Col. Haber said. “It feels good to be in a country where people appreciate you. It’s just overwhelming and you can’t wait to get home.”

He received his new orders for the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The Habers moved into their home in Chantilly, their sixteenth home in Col. Haber’s 25 years in service, shortly before Anna arrived for the first day of classes at Mason.

And despite having an excuse for family turmoil, the Haber family is closer than ever. Col. Haber recently retired from the U.S. Air Force after 25 years of service and the family is now building a permanent home in Chantilly.

“It makes you truly appreciate the family you have when you have them,” Anna said.

CONTINUED FROM FRONT The series of events heightened the fear and threat of terrorism in the country, and partially led to Moran’s decision to retire in 2004 to spend more time at home with her family.

Before she worked for the Air Force, Moran served in another capacity as a military spouse. She and her husband had decided that they both wanted to serve their country, just not at the same time. The couple spent all of their twenties either enlisted or as a military spouse.

She says that she still has friends that don’t like to speak about 9/11.

“No one wants to admit that they’re forever changed,” Moran said.

Years after her retirement from the Air Force, Moran’s friends and family began encouraging her to take advantage of the 9/11 G.I. Bill and return to school for another degree.

Despite her reservations about returning to college as an adult, Moran decided to enroll at Mason, in pursuit of a bachelors degree in philosophy in 2010. Though the career field and practical application of a philosophy degree is limited, Moran had always been interested in the field, especially in the work of Danish philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard.

On the ten-year

anniversary of 9/11, Moran read an article that featured an injured soldier who was returning to school to study philosophy on the G.I. Bill, helping her to understand the importance of her own secondary education.

“They quoted him talking about how important it was for him to return and study something that had personal meaning to him,” Moran said.

“It was an act of spiritual healing.”

After a summer fellowship at a Minnesota museum dedicated to the work and life of her favorite philosopher, Moran created a cookbook as a testament to her idea that philosophy can nourish you. The book was inspired by Kierkegaard’s frequent reference to food in his work and features both historical Danish recipes and fun recipes that play on Kierkegaard’s work.

The book, which Moran did not put together with serious intentions, is now being published and has been recognized by the official Kierkegaard museum in Denmark.

“I know that I’m not an academic scholar, and I won’t be a professor,” Moran said.

“But because of my work with Kierkegaard, I’m still able to apply myself to the field and be taken seriously as a philosopher.”

School of Management Prepares Students for Career Excellence Every great plan begins with a great idea.

Sir Winston Churchill once said, “Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.” Fortunately for Mason students, the School of Management has developed a way to eliminate advance worrying through a Plan for Academic and Career Excellence (PACE).

“The purpose of PACE is to get students out of here on time with no surprises,” said Meggan Ford, Assistant Director of Academic Services. “We want students to be successful academically, get out of here on time and graduate with no surprises.”

Though it has been in place since 2005, a $25,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation allowed the School of Management an

opportunity to overhaul the technology in order to better serve the students. The grant assisted with upgrades that allow for more interactivity, including the ability for students to view their individual progress toward personal goals, use interactive checklists and post accomplished goals to their social media pages.

While the PACE website was being upgraded, the School of Management’s academic and career advisors considered that today’s students prefer multimedia rather than large blocks of text and, in response, added more video and audio presentations.

“We really tried to go through and put ourselves in the students’ position,” Ford said.

“A lot of the videos we use are very interactive

and walk them through step-by-step so they understand.”

In order to address the concerns of firstgeneration college students, the program is designed to answer questions and provide an in-depth look at progressing through academia at Mason.

PACE is designed to keep students on track with academic and career aspirations, setting a tempo that encourages students to complete their degree in eight semesters.

Outside of academics, PACE focuses on getting students involved as underclassmen, encouraging them to select a major and explore other resources throughout the campus.

As they progress, students are reminded of the opportunity that exists to study abroad, seek out internships and prepare for graduation. The program then concludes with the student’s degree and becoming involved in the alumni association of Mason.

“We want students to be better prepared and learn the interview skills and have their personal pitch,” said Barbara Moorman, an Academic Advisor within the School of Management. “All of that is within PACE as well.”

Though many of its features are designed specifically for business majors and students within the School of Management, the nonacademic portion of PACE is available for all students within the university. The service is available to both transfer students, as well as first-year and traditional students.

“Anybody can use the PACE product,” Ford said. “It is geared toward business students but all of the reminders are blanketed for Mason as a whole.”

To make it more exciting for students, academic and career advisors added a section in which they use video to introduce themselves and allow students to put a face to their name.

“We want students to know that the faculty is here for them, not just inside the classroom,” Ford said. “It makes students feel more connected to what is going on in the School of Management. The fact that they can see someone in a video, as opposed to just reading about them, will hopefully make them more comfortable to come in and talk to faculty.”

Because the interactive site was just re-launched this semester, the School of Management has not had much time to get the word out about their product. The hope, though, is that students will find the tool effective and PACE will become the best way for Mason students to Plan for Academic and Career Excellence.

Apple Federal Credit Union Comes to Mason Over the summer, Apple Federal Credit Union replaced the Capital One bank that was located in the Johnson Center.

Now that Apple has taken over and their previous office is remaining vacant as for now, students no longer have to choose between on-campus banks.

Yeshi Ayele, the branch manager of the GMU branch, says that the reason for the union movement is that it is a better location. Compared to its previous location near the postal office, the current location at the entrance of the Johnson Center is far more accessible.

Apple is a credit union, not a bank.

“Credit unions are not for profit and are formed to represent entities and groups rather than the whole public,” says Rebecca Palmer Browne, marking director for Apple Federal Credit Union. This means that Apple helps out its customers and does not exploit them with high interest rates and/or fees.

“Apple also makes specific accounts.

For example, their student extra savings account has an APY of 3.2%,” said Browne.

That is five times more than the .6% of a Capital One Savings account, meaning more money will be coming back to you.

Apple is not so different from a bank, as they offer any other service that banks offer, such has the 250,000 FDIC security and ability to take out loans.

Students will find Apple to be at their convenience: it is unique to northern Virginia, with 27 locations, including Mason, with 53,000 ATMs (with 8 on campuses from SUB 1 to Eisenhower Hall).

“Students can also exchange foreign currencies at the Johnson Center and can use their Visa card when traveling,” Browne said. “We offer mobile apps just like any other bank.”

Brown reveals that Apple will soon

release an app called “mobile deposit capture,” in which either and iPhone or Android phone will be able to scan a check and that money will be directly be put into the account, saving a trip of going to the Johnson Center.

“Customers become members for life no matter if they live in New York or San Francisco,” said Browne.

Lastly, exclusive only to Mason’s branch, students who open a new checking account will receive their Visa card before they leave the branch and can be used that same night.

Browne believes that all students should open an account with a credit union because they will benefit over their lifetime.

The All-American Collegiate Beer Review

‘Merica. We love our beer. Nowhere is this more apparent than college campuses across this great nation. From Juneau, Alaska to Tallahassee Florida and everywhere in between, college partiers are pounding cases of these great American beers.

They want it cheap, chuggable, and easy to forget the next morning. Below are the top five most All-American collegiate beers for your drinking pleasure.

Natural Light: 4.2 % ABV The most iconic of all collegiate beers, Natural Light, also called “Nattie” is first up on the list. If you’ve never beer bonged one of these suckers, you’ve most likely never been to college. Introduced in 1977, this beer been knocking partiers-goers out ever since. Part of the Anheuser-Busch Family, the empty carcasses of this great beer are sure to be found at every college party.

Drinkability: There is a reason college kids love this beer so much. You can drink a ton of it and never feel full. There isn’t much to say in terms of taste. Long gulps from your garden house will yield the same flavor.

Cost: It doesn’t get much cheaper than Natural Light. If your scour your couch, car, and piggy bank for some extra change, you are sure to have more than enough for a case.

Hangover: Even for a light beer, Nattie can

often leave you with a nasty hangover. It is also worth mentioning: beware of the Nattie splatties!

Pabst Blue Ribbon: 4.74 ABV This old school heavyweight has been around for a while. Toting its beginnings around 1893, PBR has remained a collegiate favorite for years. Once marketed using Patrick Swayze in the eighties, Pabst has seen resurgence in the last decade. With its trademark ribbon logo, Pabst brings that vintage feel to any house party.

Drinkability: This is not your average light beer. Pabst has a sharp taste at first, but finishes smooth. With a higher ABV, and bolder taste, Pabst is sure to fill you up fast but get the job done.

Cost: Surprisingly, in the Northern Virginia Area, Pabst Blue Ribbon is priced cheaper than most beers. Averaging about $16.00 a case, this old timer is still well worth the money.

Hangover: Not for the faint of livers.

Keystone: 4.8% ABV If you find the orange can in a case of Keystone, you have something to brag about to your friends. Keystone is the combination of everything college partiers desire. With a modest ABV, refreshing taste, and dirt-cheap

cost, Keystone is sure to stay a part of the collegiate drinking past time.

Drinkability: As advertise, smooth like Keith Stone.

Cost: Buying water might be more expensive.

Hangover: Incredibly horrible, and that is putting it nicely.

Coors Light: 4.2% ABV This beer is perhaps the most respectable and classy beer on this list. With an easy start and finish, there isn’t much to this beer.

Hailing from the ice-cold Colorado Rocky Mountains, Coors Light is what beer is when you put it through a Brita filter.

Drinkability: So refreshing, you could drink it after running a marathon.

Cost: You are going to have to dig a little in order to afford this beer. At certain stores, it can cost as much as $17.00 a case. Coors Light also comes in 16 oz. aluminum cans, which tend to be cheaper.

Hangover: Unless someone smashed a bottle over your head, hangovers are virtually unheard of.

ABV, which is much higher than most light beers. A sleek blue bottle and great marketing campaign has driven Bud Light Platinum to instantaneous fame within the collegiate realm.

Drinkability: As smooth as the original Bud light, but has a crisp finish Cost: Unfortunately, you’ll have to pay for that extra kick.

Hangover: one too many, and you’ll feel it the next day.

So keep supporting the age-old tradition of American brewing perfection. Next time you go to shotgun a can of ice cold brew, remember that it’s brought to you courtesy of the red, white and blue. Cheers!

Fairfax City’s Auld Shebeen Serves Locals a Taste of Ireland At the end of every rainbow, there’s said to be a pot of gold— Fairfax City has its own treasure, and it’s called The Auld Shebeen.

This combination pub and restaurant distinguishes itself from other eateries along Main Street with its bold, underground appearance.

“Auld Shebeen” is an Irish phrase meaning “old speak-easy”.

The owner describes a shebeen in Ireland as a place for friends to gather in secret and drink mugs of “Poteen” (pronounced “po-cheen”), a strong alcoholic drink.

The three who first ran the business are Irishmen themselves.

Dubliners Dominic Keane and Mick Boyle, along with Galway native Brian Dolphin, all previously worked as bartenders in Irish restaurants on the West Coast.

“At one point, we were all [working] at the same place,” remembers Keane, who moved to America in 1993. They traveled to the East Coast in hopes of running

a restaurant honoring the Emerald Isle.

According to Keane, the three were forced to scrimp and save on their own, without much outside help.

He mentions using “home equity loans and savings” to fund the venture until their early economic hardships came to an end.

After changing the previous establishment into the Auld Shebeen, they’ve continued entertaining Virginians (and even some Maryland regulars) since 2005.

The pub receives public attention for its friendly service, bona fide Irish food, and events held during the week.

Karaoke night reigns every Tuesday, live DJs perform Thursday and Saturday nights, and live bands play on Fridays.

The Auld Shebeen is within walking distance from the George Mason campus, meaning college students are bound to show up.

Eric, an especially friendly bartender, estimated “on a Thursday night, 120 [students],” and that’s just for musical performances. Many of these performances are held downstairs in the pub’s “Cellar:” a large, open room that closely resembles a 1920s speak-easy.

When asked to describe his establishment’s most outstanding quality, Dominic Keane had to think for a few moments.

He surveyed the restaurant with the pride of a farmer looking at his field, and in his Irish brogue, admired how true it is to a real Irish pub. “It’s a place to come relax and socialize,” he said, thoughtfully.

As a location for music, food, and friends, The Auld Shebeen has it all.

So when classes are tough, and life gets rough, do a little jig down to Fairfax City’s pub, because a lil bit o’ luck might wear off on you.

Book Review: “No Easy Day”

Everyone remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing on Sept. 11, 2001, but what were you doing on May 2, 2011?

Former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, under the pen name Mark Owen, describes how he spent his day in detail in his new book, “No Easy Day”, the firsthand account of the mission that killed Osama bin Laden.

Despite my reservations about being lost in a book that detailed the military, a topic I don’t usually find myself interested in, I downloaded “No Easy Day” on Kindle.

By the end of the first chapter, I was hooked. Bissonnette is a brilliant writer and vividly captures his emotions and memories of his training as a SEAL and the missions that led to the capture and killing of bin Laden. In between chapters, I frequently stopped to remind myself that the story I was reading was a true first-person account and not a fictional account of the throes of war.

But as I continued to read, I became concerned about the content of the book and its nature. In the preface, Bissonnette stresses that he went to great lengths to avoid disclosing sensitive material and military secrets.

Though it is evident that he did make an effort to protect the other SEALs that he mentions, by using only their first name and a brief description of their build and demeanor, he reveals key SEAL tactics and technology that the teams still use to hunt and capture terrorists.

As residents of Northern Virginia, we are surrounded by government workers and military, some of which are undercover and working on sensitive

projects concerning our national safety. Many of my family members and friends work for various government organizations, and some have expressed disgust at “No Easy Day” and the author for his audacity to publish such a sensational and compromising tale.

The Pentagon says that the book has sensitive and classified information, and has threatened Bissonnette with legal action for publishing without turning over the manuscript to the government for approval.

In the afterword, the author shares that he plans to donate all the proceeds the book generates to charities that benefit Navy SEALS and their families, which made me feel better about spending $12.99 on a book that I have conflicting feelings about.

However, The Navy Seal Foundation recently came forward and publicly declined to accept any money from the book sales in an effort to preserve their mission to support and assist SEAL families.

As I raced through the pages of “No Easy Day,” I was left feeling stupefied, angry and, eventually, grateful. The sacrifice and dedication of Navy SEALS,

and all of the armed men and women, is indescribable and I am forever grateful.

The book is undoubtedly a very important piece of history, providing a first-person perspective on an event that brought closure to the most horrible day in American history.

However, I believe that Bissonnette should have saved his story until heavy American involvement in the war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda had faded into the history books, and all of the SEALS in Team Six had moved into retirement, even if that took decades.

STORY BY COLLEEN WILSON

Video Games Impacted Post-September 11 After the terrorist attacks on 9/11, video games censored or modifyied their stories and content pertaining to New York City—and the Twin Towers respectively.

“Grand Theft Auto 3,” released in October 2001, was delayed almost a month to make last minute changes to its loosely based New York City setting. The paint scheme of the police cars was modified from a blue-and-white NYPD design to a black-and-white LAPD design during development. One mission of the game was removed completely because it mentioned terrorists. Other changes were minor, including altering the flight path of an AI controlled airplane that went neat skyscrapers, and removing a few lines of talk radio and pedestrian dialogue.

“Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty “was

released as scheduled in November 2001, despite the plot centering on terrorists in New York City and a scene in which an enormous battleship crashes into Federal Hall. However, a sequence depicting Arsenal Gear’s displacement of the Statue of Liberty and crashing through half of Manhattan was removed, as was live-action footage of the Twin Towers originally slated to be used in the ending.

In October 2000, “Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2,” a PC game that depicted an alternate history in which the Soviet Union launches an invasion on the United States, changed its cover art after the attacks. The original art was a fold out cover and inside it, displayed the New York City skyline on fire including a ruined Twin Towers with flames and smoke emitting out. The cover also revealed a Soviet

soldier wearing an eyepiece with crosshairs on the American flag. The expansion pack, “Command and Conquer: Yuri’s Revenge” (October 2001) was postponed because of this. The game also contained controversial in-game levels, including levels where players were given a mission to destroy the Pentagon and attack the World Trade Center.

“Propeller Arena,” a dog fighting deathmatch game for the Sega Dreamcast was cancelled just days after the 9/11 attacks, showing both similarities in game packaging and design to the events of that day as well.

The Playstation 2 game, “Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo,” released in August 2002, had a delayed release in the United States because the opening scene depicted a space colony that is dropped on a

city that resembles New York.

The Playstation game “Spider Man 2: Enter Electro,” originally released on August 26, 2001, was rereleased on October 17, 2001 after the 9/11 attacks; the game had its final level altered. Originally, it was a one-on-one showdown between Spider Man and Electro atop of the World Trade Center. This was changed to the top of another generic skyscraper. The New York City skyline was obscured by a storm so that the World Trade Center would not be visible.

Video game designers will continue to incorporate a changed New York City into their works, a city that continues to heal today.

Patriotic Star Cookie

Traveling to Arlington Cemetery September 11th is right around the corner, and whether you’re feeling sentimental, patriotic or just looking for an excuse to get out and about, Arlington National Cemetery is a fantastic way to spend a day outside.

Arlington National Cemetery is located in Arlington, Virginia, a mere stone’s throw across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. It was established in 1864 after the federal government confiscated Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s estate and converted it into a burial ground for the men and women of our armed forces.

The grounds of the cemetery feature rolling hills dotted with skull white tombstones, trees and manicured gardens. There are some sweeping, breeze-kissed views of Washington DC that include the Washington Monument and the Capitol building. And throughout the cemetery, you will find random odds and ends in the form of monuments hidden beneath the trees, such as oddly shaped fountains and unusual statues.

Some highlights include JFK’s grave, marked by an eternal flame that will

never be extinguished, and surrounded by plaques of his famous quotations. On the hill top directly above JFK’s grave is the Arlington House, once the home of Robert E. Lee, and also a fantastic view of D.C. Directly beyond the Arlington House is the Forgotten Amphitheater with its bright, tasteful garden and breezy, shaded roof.

Also worth checking out is the massive, white marbled Memorial Amphitheater with its Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This is where stoic soldiers mechanically “change the guard” with a click of their heels.

Peaceful, quiet, and shady, this place is perfect for contemplative walks.

The best way to experience Arlington National Cemetery is to simply wander throughout its spacious 562 acre property. Paved roads squiggle and zag throughout the cemetery’s rolling hills, and the only way to get around is on foot. That is, unless you decide to spring for an open air bus tour ($8.75) that will take you to the far corners of the cemetery and back again.

Entering Arlington National Cemetery is free, and it is open seven days a week (8am- 7pm April- September, 8am- 5pm October- March).

Make sure to pack water, sunscreen, and a lunch, as I couldn’t find anywhere to eat.

Getting There and Away: Metro: Catch the Mason2Metro shuttle bus at Rappahannock parking deck to the Vienna Metro (30 minutes). Hop on the orange line towards New Carrollton.

At the Rosslyn stop, get off of the orange line and transfer onto the blue line headed towards FranconiaSpringfield. Get off at the Arlington Cemetery stop, which is the next one directly after Rosslyn (60 minutes).

This should cost around $5, or $10 for a round trip. The cemetery is right in front of the metro stop.

Driving: In depth and accurate directions are available at Arlington National Cemetery’s website.

Driving should take 30 minutes from Mason.

But be careful! Driving is a bit tricky and it is easy to miss important turn offs. For that reason, I recommend taking the metro. Parking is available, but it isn’t free! ($1.75/ hour for the first three hours, and $2.50 an hour thereafter.)

Have a good time!

Assemble cookies and bake according to package directions. Let cookies cool on wire racks, and then frost with a thin layer of icing.

Thinly slice strawberries and arrange in a star shape in the center of the cookie. Top with a small dot of icing in the center and several blueberries.

When I was in fourth grade, I was confused beyond belief as to why terrorists had attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon, killing thousands of innocent people. In my naivety, I had failed to grasp the concept of the word terrorist, one that my young ears had never heard before.

Unfortunately, I learned more than I ever should have about the evils of the world as a ten year old on that terrible day.

As a resident of Northern Virginia and the descendent of veterans on both sides of my family, being patriotic and recognizing the sacrifice made by millions of Americans, both civilian and enlisted, for their country, is one of my greatest duties.

Politics aside, I couldn’t agree more with President Obama’s encouragement for all Americans to go out and volunteer to recognize the 9/11 attacks and honor the victims. Though I was young, I remember being amazed as the whole country pulled itself together and became united as neighbors, friends and family reached out to help and support one another in the wake of the attack.

That mentality has fallen by the wayside over the past 11 years, but this Tuesday, take

a moment to remember what it means to be an American, and what you can do to give back to your community and nation.

Another great idea is to bake a heartfelt treat for veterans to show your gratitude for all they have done. I’ll be delivering some of my patriotic star cookies over to the veteran’s at the senior center across the street from campus this Tuesday. Also, don’t forget to head over to the 9/11 memorial event Broadside is holding at the Mason Pond on Tuesday evening in honor of all of the victims from the attacks.

For Some, Nothing is Sacred Awareness is First Step in Problem Solving It did not take long for the solemnity of the national tragedy to be disrupted.

Two days after that dark Tuesday, televangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson declared that 9/11 was an act of divine punishment for our caving in to social liberalism.

In the months that followed, various TV ads aired showing “commemorative coins” to purchase, including one that involved a moving skyline of pre-9/11 New York City. Over the next few years, the term “American Taliban” entered the political lexicon, with partisans on both sides (but mostly the left) comparing their opponents to those who killed thousands of Americans in a single day.

While the occasional public figure or group has trampled loudly in the hallowed halls of remembrance, one group decided that such noise should involve legally-driven censorship.

Last year, with the tenth anniversary of 9/11 drawing near, the New Jersey-based group, American Atheists, filed a lawsuit against the

National September 11 Memorial and Museum. AA alleged that the Museum was violating the Establishment Clause by having on display the “World Trade Center cross”, which was a pair of steel beams recovered from Ground Zero that was seen by many as a sign of hope amid great despair.

“This is a working Christian shrine in the memorial and then they had the gall to say it’s not religious in nature, that it represents everybody.

That’s not true,” said AA President David Silverman in a recent interview with CBS. So extreme was AA in its assessment of the WTC cross, that even the nationwide organization, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which opposes “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, did not join their suit.

The Washington Post, a publication seldom known for conservative talking points, published an editorial, which stated that the lawsuit was “misguided.”

“Under that logic, it would seem the National Gallery of Art would have to banish its

religious art — or that any group that receives government help must forfeit First Amendment rights of expression in choosing what to exhibit,” wrote the Post’s editorial board.

“Yes, it is a powerful symbol of faith to some, but that should not banish it from a museum that will give tribute to the very American attributes of freedom and tolerance that the Sept. 11 attackers sought to destroy.”

CBS also recently interviewed Michael Moreland, vice dean and professor of law at Villanova University School of Law in Pennsylvania. Moreland noted something that seems to be lost on the American Atheists group.

“Displays of religious symbols by the government aren’t always unconstitutional,” said Moreland. “Given the historical significance of the 9/11 cross during the Ground Zero cleanup, I think the museum has a strong argument that the cross’s historical significance outweighs any perceived government endorsement of religion.”

Some may wonder why I’m

taking this time and space to write about something so argumentative when so many are reflecting on where they were and what they were doing when smoke rose from New York, Arlington and Pennsylvania. It is because there are things that we need to be aware of. We need to know that there are preachers and left wing intellectuals who feel we deserved this and that there are shameless profiteers who want to make a buck off of this.

We need to know there are groups whose hatred of religion is so intense that they do not care if they trample over the emotional memories so many have of that Tuesday morning.

Awareness is the first step in solving any problem.

Sept. 10, 2012 OPINION

Media Reaction is Always Most Important “True evil” were the only words that came out of many Americans’ mouths on that tragic Tuesday morning. The attack that left thousands dead and a city scared. The media responded with new entertainment that centered on sadness and fear. Their mediums of communication took viewers inside the minds of people affected by the atrocities. The best examples are the movies United 93 and World Trade Center; both depict scenes of victims on that horrific morning.

Let us not forget the media’s role in television when Denis Leary and the channel FX came out with the show, Rescue Me, which featured the life of a fireman who lost friends in the attacks. One medium that affected me personally was the music with its relevant lyrics to the emotion of the victims and mourners.

I was not affected by the attacks of September 11th. I was just a 7 year old

who was released on earlydismissal from school. My first thoughts about 9/11 came in the summer of 2002 when Bruce Springsteen released an album to give a voice to the victims and mourners of that tragedy.

He named it The Rising. That summer, when my dad came home with Springsteen’s 13th recorded album, life suddenly changed. For the first time since the attacks, I understood the pain of that horrific day. Springsteen never made an album with one central theme and The Rising changed all of that: it was a message to help all the mourners and a call to rally together as one.

Springsteen’s powerful lyrics increased my education on the attack each time the CD repeated on the stereo.

The inspiration created by Springsteen came through his poetic lyrics. In the song, Waitin’ on a Sunny Day, Springsteen sings, “It’s raining but there ain’t a

cloud in the sky; must have been a tear from your eye and everything is going to be okay”. With those strong metaphors of clouds on a sunny day, he presented the sadness of a mourner and how every day, even a sunny day, they try to move those clouds that just seem to not budge from their place in the sky. This sing helped me formulate what went through the mourners’ minds on that tragic day and on. Springsteen’s album was not to just articulate what goes through the mourner’s mind but to also lead a rally that would bring all Americans together.

That rally came with the help of his gospel, which urged the mourners to stand up and release a smile that had long been impossible to fathom. He went on to sing, “Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain”. No matter the weather, this party will not stop because the souls can finally smile like they never lost the

ability.

That horrific Tuesday forever changed our mindset. With that change came an inspiration for the media to alter their message.

Shows like Fox’s 24 centered around the idea of stopping the terrorists from achieving another attack. FX’s Rescue Me shows the everyday struggle for Tommy Gavin to cope with the loss of friends and to stay in one piece.

So far the media has done a strong job solving their fictional conflicts; but unfortunately Jack Bauer is not real and we have yet to find the citizen that will consistently keep America safe.

The Weekly Rant: The State of Police

The police department here at Mason is a controversial topic and it has been for many years. Even though crime, especially violent crime rates, are remarkably low, the police department still gains a lot of criticism and has a negative persona amongst a majority of students, with many calling it a “police state” here at Mason. Many students see the police department as a military like operation that suppresses underage drinking and doles out harsh consequences for it. But wait; isn’t the police department supposed to be enforcing these laws, such as underage drinking? Yes, of course they are, but I’m sure many of us who have friends at other colleges and universities

around this country know that their police departments are much more lenient. Let’s get real, it’s college and many engage in alcohol consumption activities during their undergraduate years.

It is impossible to drive around Patriot Circle on a Friday night without seeing at least six Chargers on patrol, not to mention the undercovers out specifically to catch underage drinkers.

With that kind of presence, how can students not be fearful of the force.

Even though all of the residential areas on campus are “wet” areas(except for President’s Park), for Mason cops to bust a dorm party and arrest a few people is equivalent to a County officer doing a drug bust.

Instead of instilling fear into the student body, why not support the safety of the students and offer assistance if they see someone a little drunk? Why not look out for the safety of the students and ensure they get home safely?

The number of officers that Mason has for such a small patrol area is absolutely astounding, with over 50 full time officers employed.

By comparison, the City of Fairfax department has around 65. I get that on any given day there could be up to 20,000 people on campus and that’s hard to control, but is it really necessary to have this many officers on a campus police force?

Even though the student’s perceive the department in a negative light, crime is still

low and campus is still safe, that’s most important. I’m not saying it should be a freefor-all on campus, but the show of force they put on is absolutely unnecessary, and leads to a negative attitude toward them. It’s time for the Mason Police Department to lighten up and allow the students to have some fun for once.

9/11: A Painful Memory for All It was Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The time was around 10 A.M. when my name was called through the P.A. system at school. I was looking over my multiplication table note cards when the front office lady announced, “Mr. Cocavo, may you have Neda Paydar sent to the front office for early dismissal?” Filled with joy, I quickly gathered my belongings, placed them in my backpack, and headed towards the door. In the past, whenever my dad pulled me out of class for an appointment, we’d always stop by Dairy Queen for ice cream.

However, as soon as I arrived to the front office and saw the panic-stricken look on my dad’s face, I quickly realized that there wasn’t going to be any ice cream that day. My dad grabbed my hand and rushed out the school doors. In the car, he said nothing. Scared, I hesitantly asked him, “ Baba…

What’s wrong?” He stayed quiet until we arrived home.

When we finally got home, both my mom and dad sat me down to explain what happened. At the time, I didn’t fully grasp the situation, but my parents told me to avoid telling people I was Muslim or even Middle Eastern. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t tell people: this is who I am and at such a young age, this was all I knew.

Eleven years have passed since that day and I look back and connect my experience with all that has happened. I understand now that the reason my parents advised me to keep quiet was to protect me from getting hurt. Day by day, after 9/11, I witnessed so many Middle Eastern kids getting bullied by their

peers at school. People who had lost mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, and close friends channeled their grief into hatred. As a Muslim, I somehow gained the title, “Terrorist”. For the most part, I understood that people were angry. They had every right to be, but they also had to understand that those people who took the many innocent lives were not real Muslims. Their actions were not based on Islam because Islam is about spreading love, not hate. Terrorists wrongly used Islam and the Quran to justify their extreme and fundamental religious views. It sickens me to know that there will always be people who will relate me to those terrorists, but for the most part, the circle of hate has subsided. The impact of 9/11 did not discriminate between who was affected.

It has had an emotional impact on everyone, regardless of religion. The terrorists of 9/11 destroyed the World Trade Center and a part of the Pentagon, but they never destroyed the United States.

Instead, because of this tragedy, we grew as a nation. We learned to forgive each other and move past the hatred that the terrorists created. No matter what background or religion, together we stand united and together we are invincible.

Professors Promote Diplomacy Through Sport

COURTESY OF BOB BAKER

In partnership with the State Department, Mason Professors Dr. Bob Baker, Dr. Pam Baker and Craig Esherick have been working on a project to promote peace and shape a positive international image of America through a sport program.

The power and the impact of sport is undeniable.

Serving many functions in our lives, sport works to develop communication skills and promote teamwork, all the while bringing communities together as one. Perhaps lesser known, sports can also promote a world of peace and cross-cultural understanding that is stronger than any barrier languages and cultures may build.

“You don’t need to speak the same language because you are out there just playing and competing in sports,” said Craig Esherick, Associate Director of the Center for Sport Management.

In many ways, the language of sport is the only universal language in the world.

Through a grant awarded by SportsUnited, a division of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Mason professors Esherick, Dr. Bob Baker and Dr. Pam Baker have been working in a diplomatic effort to promote peace and shape the world view on America and its citizens.

“More than anything, we overcome linguistic challenges by having strong interests in the American culture,” said Marlon Moreno, a Mexican coach who visited the United States as part of the program in mid-August.

Esherick and Bob Baker began working with the State Department on a new sport initiative in the fall of 2009, beginning a program with India that would send the duo to India on two separate occasions and allowing them to host an instructional and cultural program on campus.

“It’s a relatively new area of interest to use sport for these cultural exchange, community development and economic development,” said Bob Baker, who directs the Center for Sport Management. “All of this because sport is such a significant social institution.”

They continued their work for the duration of the first grant before earning a cooperative agreement worth about $2.2 million to date that has allowed them to host 28 different groups of people from around the world.

“Part of the proposal required us to address the institution’s commitment to diversity,” Bob Baker said. “That’s really easy to do at Mason.”

After solidifying the cooperative agreement, Esherick and Bob Baker brought Pam Baker aboard - as a way to introduce the foreign sports diplomats to inclusive sport, which focuses on ways to include people with disabilities in sport. The three professors also brought a program host, Socrates Manuel, and a program facilitator, B.J. D’Urso, to the team

to make delivery of the program possible.

Despite not getting the opportunity to choose their visitors, the team handles all the logistics of the trip and facilitates a program that allows each group the opportunity to experience elements of American culture and sport such as high school athletic programs, collegiate athletic programs, the professional industry, sport-specific training, teambuilding, tours Washington, DC or other locations, and a home hospitality dinner.

“We try to expose them to the industry in this country,” Bob Baker said. “We give them an idea of how the industry was created in this country so they can go back and mimic that in their own country.”

As diplomats for the United States, Esherick, Bob Baker and Pam Baker work to ensure that each of their groups has a positive experience in the states.

They provide pre- and post-program surveys to each of the participants to gage the perception of American people and American culture, and have found a unique niche designed to impact the world through sport.

“The purpose of this program is to have these people go back and spread a positive word about America and American people,” Bob Baker said. “In terms of the evaluation,

both qualitative and quantitative, there is a significant difference in their impressions of the U.S.” While putting together a majority of these programs, Esherick and the Bakers have exposed the university to a wide variety of individuals. They have solicited help from more than 20 faculty members and coaches within the university and have had help from many more student athletes, Sport Management students and students of other majors throughout Mason. Staff members from numerous offices across campus have also made this project possible to deliver.

“We have always found people who have said, ‘We will find a way to make it work,’” Bob Baker said. “That has been the [Modus operandi] at Mason. We can find people who are willing to find a way to make it work and will not just say, ‘No.’” Realizing the undeniable success of this program, the Department of State continues to invest money in using sport as a tool for diplomacy.

“This is an area of global interest and it is huge,” Bob Baker said. “And Mason’s Center for Sport Management is right in front of it.”

Harvey Recognized as CAA Soccer Player of the Week

MASON ATHLETICS

Sophomore Emily Harvey was recently recognized as the CAA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week after scoring a goal against George Washington University and a last minute game-winning assist against American University.

Emily Harvey is starting out strong this season on Mason’s women’s soccer team.

She was recently recognized as the CAA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week.

The award came after recording her first goal against George Washington University, and a last minute game-winning assist against American University.

“I didn’t expect the award at all, it really was a surprise,” Harvey said. “I really just try to go out and do whatever it is the team needs me to do.

If that means scoring a goal I go out there and work for a goal, if that means picking up team morale and getting us pumped up then that’s what I do.”

Emily has had a longer road to Mason’s Soccer program than one would guess.

Both of her parents worked for the military and their jobs took them along the Atlantic coast from Maryland to New Jersey, Rhode Island to Pennsylvania, and even Florida.

“I still think of Maryland as my home though; we always went back in-between moves,” Harvey said.

Everywhere their family went, Harvey and her siblings played soccer. Going to her brothers’ practices and games really helped kindle Harvey’s interest and talent for soccer.

She ended up playing for three different high school teams over four years, which included winning Freedom High School’s first ever district championship.

Moving around was a challenge for Harvey, but she often finds that her hardest obstacle to overcome is herself.

“You just psych yourself out and become your own worst enemy … but I’ve got my team, coaches, and family all there so support me”.

The team is a closely knit team of girls who are always there for one another, like a second family, Harvey explained.

“I just want to keep working and improving, to keep getting better and better,” Harvey said. Whenever she has questions about anything from life to homework she can always count on her captains and teammates to lend a helpful hand or word of advice.

Her family still comes to see her games. Often times, her mom often coming straight from the Pentagon in full military attire.

They also support her off the field 100 percent.

“At a young age my parents taught me how grades are very important, they serve as a motivator for now and they will help me in the future,” said Harvey, who is looking to land an internship and eventually a job with the state department.

With her family from home and Mason at her back, she knows she can do anything she sets her mind to.
