With  campus  closings  and  class  cancellations  throughout  Wisconsin  due  to  dropping  temperatures  and  harsh  wind  chills,  some  students  are  wondering  why  UW-­Whitewater  held  out  and  left  its  doors  open  dur-­ ing  the  harsh  conditions.  7KH ¿ UVW IHZ ZHHNV RI FODVVHV were  held  on  days  where  the  wind  chill  was  50  below  zero.  In  these  conditions,  according  to  weather.

Plagiarism  down,  director  says

Royal Purple Page33

By Alexandria Zamecnik Assistant  News  Editor

Since  TurnItIn:  Originality  Checker  has  been  implemented  at  UW-­Whitewater  in  2008,  the  num-­ ber  of  academic  misconduct  cases  for  plagiarism  taken  to  administra-­ tion  has  reduced,  said  the  Learning  Technology  Center.

Originality  Checker  is  a  program  that  allows  professors  to  check  their  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  submitted  work  for  plagia-­ rism  with  that  of  the  work  of  mil-­ lions  of  students.More  than  1,000  higher  education  institutes  across  the  country  have  implemented  Tur-­ nItIn:  Originality  Checker.

Although  the  program  has  re-­ duced  the  amount  of  plagiarism  on  campus,  there  is  still  concern  from  professors  on  campus.

Bert  Kreitlow,  a  lecturer  of  his-­ tory  at  UW-­Whitewater,  said  the  university  could  do  a  better  job  of  sending  a  message  about  its  Aca-­ demic  Misconduct  Policy.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  outraged  at  the  univer-­ sity,â&#x20AC;?  Kreitlow  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;However,  we  need  to  improve  the  understanding  that  students  have  of  education.  They  are  not  the  customer.  They  shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  after  a  piece  of  paper.â&#x20AC;?

The  current  UW-­Whitewater  policy  for  academic  misconduct  is  decided  by  the  University  of  Wis-­ consin  Board  of  Regents.  The  policy  states  when  plagiarism  takes  place  a  UHSRUW PXVW EH Âż OHG E\ DQ LQVWUXFWRU $IWHU WKH LQVWUXFWRU KDV Âż OHG WKH report,  the  student  will  then  have  a  conference  with  the  instructor  to  de-­ termine  further  disciplinary  action.  If  a  student  requests,  he  or  she  has  the  opportunity  to  take  the  academic Â

Safety  should  be  priority  when  severe  weather  strikes Royal Purple Editorial  Staff  Opinion

A  university  has  a  few  distinct  goals  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  the  main  one  being  to  educate  its  students  and  prepare  them  for  the  professional  world.  An-­ other  objective  that  should  be  high  on  the  list  is  protecting  students  and  employees.

One  option  to  achieve  safety  for  the  cam-­ pus  community  is  to  close  in  times  of  ex-­ treme  weather.

The  most  recent  example  of  UW-­White-­ water  remaining  open  during  inclement  weather  was  Jan.  27  and  28.  During  those  days,  the  wind  chills  dropped  to  as  low  as  40  degrees  below  zero  in  southern  Wisconsin.

At  39  degrees  below  zero  with  wind  chills,  frostbite  will  occur  on  any  exposed  skin  within  10  minutes,  according  to  the  in-­ formation  from  the  Colorado  Academy  of  Family  Physicians.  A  percentage  of  UW-­Whitewater  students  are  more  than  a  10-­minute  walk  to  class.  The  best  option  to  protect  these  students  in  this  case  would  have  been  to  close  campus  or  de-­ lay  opening,  following  the  lead  of  sister  cam-­ puses  UW-­Milwaukee  and  UW-­Madison.

Students  wonder:  the  people  who  decide  whether  to  close  campus,  how  far  do  they  walk  on  a  daily  basis  around  campus?  How  heavy  are  their  backpacks?  Closing  campus  would  have  kept  UW-­ Whitewater  employees  from  enduring  harsh  weather  and  risking  their  safety  as  well. Â

Another  group  to  consider  when  review-­ ing  safety  is  commuters,  who  make  up  a  sig-­ QL¿ FDQW SDUW RI WKH 8: :KLWHZDWHU VWXGHQW body.  With  temperatures  as  low  as  40  degrees  below  zero,  roads  quickly  become  frozen.  This  creates  dangerous  driving  conditions,  not  to  mention  the  dangers  posed  by  sitting  in  a  car  in  the  cold  in  the  event  of  an  accident.  Some  students  cannot  even  get  their  cars  started  and  end  up  missing  class.  When  the  weather  gets  to  be  this  extreme,  many  professors  choose  to  cancel  their  class-­ es  anyway  to  avoid  these  problems.  Consid-­ ering  this,  the  question  of  whether  it  is  even  worth  remaining  open  needs  to  be  asked.

Many  students  received  e-­mails  explain-­ ing  if  they  did  not  feel  safe,  to  not  attend  class.  But  this  raises  another  question:  is  this  VWDWHPHQW VXI¿ FLHQW WR WUXO\ HQVXUH QR VWX dents  will  be  hurt?

K-­12  public  school  systems,  fortunately,  are  able  to  plan  in  more  days  to  make  up  for  lost  learning  time.  Colleges  and  universities  are  not  afforded  this  option,  but  technological  tools  should  allow  contingency  plans:  classes  can  meet  on  group  Skype,  a  Google  hangout,  or  D2L  chat  as  a  reasonable  substitution.

In  the  event  UW-­Whitewater  chooses  to  stay  open  during  inclement  weather,  more  steps  should  be  taken  to  ensure  student  safety.

For  example,  during  another  bitterly  cold  day  on  Jan.  5,  the  UW-­Milwaukee  student  radio  station  released  a  list  of  area  warming  stations  for  students  to  stop  in  and  warm  up.

According  to  the  University  of  Wyo-­ mingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  website,  during  a  snowy  stretch  of  days  in  December,  the  university  offered  stu-­ dents  free  transportation  to  classes.  At  the  very  least,  the  university  could  dis-­ seminate  information  on  how  to  handle  the  H[WUHPH FROG PXFK PRUH HIÂż FLHQWO\ 2WKHU UW  system  campuses  post  whether  they  are  open  on  their  homepage,  and  direct  students  to  information  on  how  to  survive  the  cold,  places  to  obtain  discount  clothing  or  food,  and  in  case  of  power  outages  at  university  housing,  places  for  emergency  shelter.  With  more  students  than  ever  on  social  media,  it  would  be  expedient  for  the  univer-­ sity  to  tweet  or  post  about  this  information  online.  It  could  use  social  media  to  provide  an  easily  accessible  answer  to  whether  the  campus  school  was  open.

During  Jan.  27  and  28,  there  only  was  one  post  combined  on  the  universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Facebook  and  Twitter  accounts.  This  post  was  directed  at  a  single  user,  so  it  was  not  visible  for  all  followers.

If  the  university  hopes  to  further  ensure  the  health  and  safety  of  its  students,  issues  of  weather  will  have  to  be  handled  more  effec-­ tively  and  more  judiciously  in  the  future. rp@uww.edu

Hey  lovebirds,  got  lovebugs?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  almost  Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day,  so  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  better  time  to  talk  about  improving  your  love  life.

Love  life  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  mean  sex;Íž  intimacy  is  an  important  part  of  it.  No  matter  which  one  you  prefer,  doing  it  safer  is  better.

Commentary by Safety  may  Haley Beets bring  to  mind  Staff Writer the  awkward  sex  education  some  students  endured  in  high  school.  Laughter  came  from  the  back  of  the  room  as  the  gym  teacher  stretched  a  condom  around  his  forearm.

No  one  needs  to  relive  that,  DQG WKDWÂśV ZK\ WKH QHZ GHÂż QL tion  of  safe  sex  is  much  more  inclusive,  said  Whitney  Henley,  wellness  coordinator  at  University  Health  and  Counseling  Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Safe  sex]  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  about  not  having  an  STD  but  also  includes Â

oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sexual  relationships  and  KDYLQJ VDIH DQG SOHDVXUDEOH H[SH riences,â&#x20AC;?   Henley  said.

Planned  Parenthoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  website  features  an  abstinence  category  that  offers  helpful  advice  for  those  looking  for  intimacy  without  sex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even  if  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  have  sex  or  go  all  the  way  with  your  partner,  there  are  still  ways  you  can  be  intimate,â&#x20AC;?  Henley  said.

Nurse  Practitioner  Liz  Falk  said  the  most  important  part  of  intimacy  is   mutual  respect.  She  said  to  discuss  boundaries  before  the  heat  of  the  moment  takes  over. &RPPXQLFDWLRQ LV WKH FRP PRQ GHQRPLQDWRU LQ DOO UHODWLRQ VKLSV VH[XDO RU QRQ VH[XDO )DON said.  Tell  your  partner  what  you Â

HOROSCOPES Capricorn,  12/22-­1/19 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gone.  That  perfect  PRPHQW RI RSSRU tuniy.  You  blew  it,  and  another  chance  is  not  in  your  stars. Â

Cancer,  6/22-­7/22 Unfortunatley,  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  get  creeped  on  this  Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day  by  that  awkward  person  down  the  hall.  Try  not  to  be  too  offended. Â

Aquarius,  1/20-­2/18 Take  your  love  life  up  a  notch  and  surprise  your  VLJQLÂż FDQW RWKHU WKLV Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day. Â

Leo,  7/23-­8/22 A  new  romance  may  be  springing  up  in  your  life  soon  if  you  keep  your  eye  out  for  it.  Stay  watchful!

Pisces,  2/19-­3/20 Sorry,  love  is  not  in  the  air  for  you.  But  keep  trying,  your  prince  or  princess  is  out  there  somewhere. Â

Virgo,  8/23-­9/22 First  impressions  mean  a  lot.  Keep  looking  good  and  you  will  meet  VRPHRQH ZKR ZLOO DS preciate  your  effort!

Aries,  3/21-­4/19 You  will  be  alone  this  Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day,  so  use  WKH WLPH DORQH WR UHĂ&#x20AC; HFW on  what  you  want  in  life.  Make  some  plans,  and  go  for  it!

Gemini,  5/21-­6/21 A  secret  admirer  has  been  watching  you  and  is  going  to  make  his  or  her  move  this  Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day.  Be  ready  for  some  excitement!

Sagittarius,  11/22-­12/21 Treat  yourself  to  some  candy  this  Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day.  Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  working  hard,  and  you  deserve  it. Â

Falk  also  said  there  are  more  components  to  arousal  than  just  genital  sex.  Your  body  takes  cues  from  your  brain,  which  can  be  aroused  by  a  variety  of  triggers.

Experimentation  can  help  you  ¿ JXUH RXW ZKDW WKRVH WULJJHUV DUH â&#x20AC;&#x153;Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day  is  certainly  the  day  to  do  foreplay  all  evening  long,â&#x20AC;?  Henley  said.

Another  way  to  improve  the  H[SHULHQFH LV EHLQJ FRQÂż GHQW ZLWK your  sexual  health.  One  way  to  do  this  is  getting  tested  regularly  for  STIs,  so  you  know  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  not  putting  anyone  at  risk.

Birth  control  can  further  ease  the  mind  during  sex.  Falk  and  Henley  said  carrying  condoms  is  a  wise  decision,  even  if  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Â

need  them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  more  people  who  have  condoms,  the  better,â&#x20AC;?  Henley  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  never  know  when  you  or  a  friend  is  going  to  need  one.â&#x20AC;?  Having  protection  readily  available  makes  safer  sex  easier.  Falk  said  having  them  in  your  environment  is  a  good  practice.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  buy  them  and  not  remember  where  you  put  them,â&#x20AC;?  Falk  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stick  some  in  a  couch  cushion;Íž  put  one  in  the  kitchen  cabinet.  Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  leave  them  in  your  pocket.â&#x20AC;?

In  using  this  tip,  not  only  is  safe  sex  more  accessible,  but  you  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  break  the  mood  by  digging  through  your  dirty  jeans  for  a  condom.

Condoms  are  a  good  form  of  SURWHFWLRQ EXW VRPH FRXSOHV SUH fer  alternative  methods.  Henley  said  if  pregnancy  is  a  concern,  ¿ QG D PHWKRG WKDW ZRUNV EHVW IRU you. )DON VDLG FROOHJH DJHG ZRPHQ

A  Tribute  to  the  Carpenters

By Lauren Piek Staff  Writer

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Divergentâ&#x20AC;?  is  a  dystopian  novel  full  of  action,  bravery  and  a  focus  on  the  fear  of  being  dif-­ ferent.  Dystopian  novels  have  re-­ cently  been  a  major  phenomenon,  and  while  it  is  great  to  have  an  abundance  of  people  reading  the  subgenre,  it  also  means  there  is  a  lot  of  crud  to  pick  through  EHIRUH Âż QGLQJ D decent  read.

Review by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Divergent,â&#x20AC;?  Abrielle Backhaus however,  has  Arts & Rec found  itself  a  fa-­ Editor vored  place  on  my  list  of  good  reads.  In  fact,  I  read  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Divergentâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  all  500  pages  of  it  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  in  just  one  night,  only  a  few  hours.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  that  addictive.

The  plot  has  many  twists  and  left  me  continually  guessing  what  would   happen  next.  In  a  future  version  of  Chi-­ cago,  after  freeing  itself  from  the  threshold  of  apocalypse,  society  KDV VSOLW LQWR Âż YH IDFWLRQV WKDW endorse  and  live  by  a  single  core  value.  The  protagonist  of  the  story,  Beatrice  Prior,  was  born  into  an  Abnegation  family  and  struggled  to  uphold  the  factionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  morals.  Abnegation  formed  because  they  EHOLHYHG VHOÂż VK JUHHG ZDV WKH reason  for  the  worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  demise  and  VZRUH WR UHPDLQ VHOĂ&#x20AC; HVV DQG RQO\ serve  the  needs  of  others.  Unwilling  to  be  dressed  in  drab  gray  clothing  and  constantly  serve  others,  Beatrice  knew  her  VHOÂż VK ZD\V ZHUH QRW RI $EQHJD tion  values.  At  16,  all  youth  are  required  to  take  a  test  to  determine  the  fac-­ tion  to  which  they  belong.  Beatriceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  test  results  are  in-­ conclusive,  meaning  something  powerful  and  rare,  she  is  Diver-­ gent,  and  is  able  to  decide  which  faction  she  will  spend  the  rest  of  her  life  in.  Choosing  to  be  Daunt-­ less  and  leave  her  Abnegation  roots  for  the  faction  of  the  cou-­ UDJHRXV VKH Âż QGV WKDW ZLWK RQO\ 10  spots  available  at  the  initiation  process,  she  will  have  to  work  hard  to  prove  her  worth.  Through  the  brutal  initiation,  %HDWULFH Âż QGV RXW QRW RQO\ ZKDW sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  made  of,  but  what  it  truly Â

means  to  be  a  Diver-­ gent.  Founded  RQ ¿ YH FKDU acter  traits,  the  entire  system  seems   insubstantial.  How  could  it  be  possible  for  any  individual,  ZLWK KLV RU KHU LQ¿ QLWH HPRWLRQV and  experiences,  to  be  condensed  to  one  single  quality  to  tolerate  for  the  rest  of  their  lives  and  to  choose  at  the  mere  age  of  16?

I  struggled  with  the  unlike-­ hood  of  the  unusual  society  sepa-­ ration  for  quite  some  time,  but  once  the  characters  choose  their  faction  and  head  off  to  their  desig-­ nated  faction  headquarters,  I  was  entirely  engrossed  in  the  imagina-­ tive  world.  As  if  the  action  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  enough  to  pull  me  in,  I  became  engaged  in  the  small  romance  that  ensues  between  Beatrice  and  a  Dauntless  faction  member.  , GLG Âż QG P\VHOI FRPSDULQJ this  dystopian  novel  to  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hun-­ ger  Games,â&#x20AC;?  but  I  can  honestly  say  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Divergentâ&#x20AC;?  had  me  in  a  much  better  state  of  mind  op-­ posed  to  my  depressing  gloomy  aura  while  reading  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunger  Games.â&#x20AC;?  Author  Veronica  Roth  kept  the  story  entertaining  throughout  with  danger,  love,  betrayal  and  endless  adventure.  I  can  hardly  wait  to  see  if  the  movie  that  will  be  released  March  21,  2014,  will  live  up  to  the  book.  BackhausAL10@uww.edu

To purchase on Amazon.com:

Singer  Lisa  Rock  and  her  six  band  members  will  perform  love  music  of  the  1970s  and  80s  in  Close  To  You-­The  Music  of  the  Carpenters  at  7:30  p.m.,  Feb.  14  at  Young  Auditorium.  Rock  began  singing  at  the  age  of  two,  and  had  KHU ¿ UVW SURIHV sional  perfor-­ mance  when  she  was  15  years  old.  Rock  said  she  has  been  a  fan  of  the  Carpenters  her  Rock whole  life.

Rock  has  known  piano  player  Ken  McMullen  for  10  years,  and  this  group  of  musicians  has  been  playing  together  for  four  years.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  consider  them  my  family,â&#x20AC;?  Rock  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  through  births,  deaths,  engagements,  ev-­ erything  together.   We  all  have  the  personality  for  adventure,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  DQ DPD]LQJ Âż W ´ The  audience  can  expect  to  hear  the  music  of  the  Carpenters Â

performed  by  a  group  of  friends  and  musicians  who  are  wonderful  at  what  they  do,  and  do  what  they  love,  Rock  said.  The  performance  will  include  songs  such  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  Only  Just  Begunâ&#x20AC;?  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rainy  Days  and  Mondays,â&#x20AC;?  and  the  audience  is  en-­ couraged  to  sing  along,  Rock  said.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  trying  to  create  a  complete  atmosphere,  said  Stacy  Sherman,  associate  marketing  specialist  for  Young  Auditorium.  Sherman  said  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  sing  recognizable  songs,  but  also  go  into  the  back  stories  of  the  songs.

During  the  show,  the  band  will  focus  on  the  music,  Karen  Carpen-­ terâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  struggle  with  anorexia  and  the  impact  of  the  music  industry  on  body  image,  Rock  said.  It  will  be  31  years  next  month  since  Carpen-­ ter  died  from  heart  failure  caused  by  her  eating  disorder.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our  show  is  about  the  great-­ ness  of  live  music  and  keeping  that  alive,â&#x20AC;?  Rock  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  about  con-­ necting  with  people  through  time-­ less  music.  When  artists  die,  their  music  is  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  left  behind.  Their Â

music  is  all  that  we  have.â&#x20AC;?

Sherman  said  Close  To  You-­ The  Music  of  the  Carpenters  will  be  another  addition  to  the  variety  of  shows  that  Young  Auditorium  continues  to  offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  try  to  stay  true  to  our  mis-­ sion,â&#x20AC;?  Sherman  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  make  VXUH WR WU\ DQG Âż QG D YDULHW\ RI shows,  so  we  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  pegged  as  just  one  type  of  theater.â&#x20AC;?

Students  can  take  advantage  of  the  50  percent  discount  offered  by  Young  Auditorium.  Tickets  can  be  purchased  the  night  of  the  show.

Ticket  prices  for  students  range  from  $9.75  to  $14.75,  while  the  general  public  ticket  prices  range  from  $19.50  to  $29.50. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  event  will  appeal  to  stu-­ dents  with  musical  tastes  that  in-­ clude  the  classics  and  foundational  bands,  like  the  Carpenters,â&#x20AC;?  Sher-­ man  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  also  students  who  want  to  be  exposed  to  live  music  and  enjoy  seeing  musicians  per-­ form  on  stage.â&#x20AC;?

The dad, the coach, the friend UW-­W tennis teams UHFHLYH OLIW IURP ¿ YH time Coach of the Year Barnes Feature

Just before a tennis match, Balkin said he got in a small car Balkin accident with a school vehicle. Avoiding an un-­ necessary sense of panic, he kept the incident to himself. He didn’t tell Barnes until much later that evening.

little stuff, and he’s easy to talk to when you have a problem like that,” Balkin said. “It’s a really special quality that he has.”

While he es-­ tablishes a trust-­ ing relationship with his play-­ ers, Barnes also focuses on his teams’ success. “ C o a c h Bayliss Barnes sets him-­ self apart from other coaches by focusing a lot on the strategic as-­ pect of the game and not just the physical,” senior Alexandra Bayl-­ iss said. “He always makes sure that we are not only improving our weaknesses, but we are also building on and enhancing our strengths.”

Before Barnes took over as head coach for the men’s team in 2002 and the women’s team in 2003, neither UW-­Whitewater

Due to his achievements with the men’s and women’s tennis programs, Barnes has been hon-­ ored with numerous awards for his efforts.

He was awarded the 2009 Pro-­ fessional Tennis Registry Wiscon-­ sin Member of the Year, and in 2010 he was named the National College Coach of the Year across all divisions by the PTR. He received the WIAC Coach of the Year in 2004, 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2013, and was selected as the WIAC All-­Time Coach in women’s tennis in conjunction in 2012, among other awards.

Despite the many honors he has received throughout the years, Barnes remains humble.

“I don’t get too into coach-­ ing awards, because I didn’t hit RQH VLQJOH EDOO WKH SOD\HUV GR DOO that,” Barnes said. “We lost a lot of people last year to senior grad-­ uation, so to be able to come back and win the WIAC again without our best players, I think that is a statement about our program.”
