MSU must cut ties with SeaWorld By Rachel Fradette rfradette@statenews.com

Michigan State Universit y is a school that is very forward-thinking, socially aware as well as morally conscious. That is part of the reason I chose to attend here. But now, I am for the first t ime disappointed in my school. Recently, I discovered that MSU still associates with SeaWorld Discover y Cove through a study away program, NSC 390 sections 701 and 702. I find it disheartening that MSU, a world-renowned veterinary college, would choose to participate in any type of partnership with such a morally repugnant place. Unless you have seen “Blackfish” or read about the horrors of the park, you might be unaware of just how wrong things are being run at SeaWorld. The main subjects of the abuse are the orca whales that are forced to perform several shows for audience amusement daily. You don’t have to be a scientist to realize that a wild animal like an orca belongs in the ocean. Their cramped living spaces do not even compare to a whale’s life in the ocean where they swim an average of 100 miles a day. Orcas in the wild have an average life expectancy of 30

2

to 50 years. Their estimated maximum life span is up to 70 years for males and more than 100 for females. The median age of orcas in captivity is only nine years. SeaWorld’s relentless attempts to “tame” the wild beasts have resulted in several deaths and injuries for many of their “trainers” — who are really performers — as shown in “Blackfish.” The orca whales have been inbreeding since the early ’80s, which has caused several abnormalities in the whales because Tilikum, the main male whale sperm donor, has been creating offspring for generations. Many organizations have denounced the treatment of the whales and SeaWorld altogether. Their stock has been crashing ever since the wide release of “Blackfish.” Which brings me to ask — why does MSU still choose to associate with this institution of animal cruelty? SeaWorld propaganda has been used to combat “Blackfish” and other claims of abuse in their parks, but overwhelming evidence has come to prove nearly all the claims SeaWorld refutes. SeaWorld has lost the trust of much of the general public, and is hopefully on its way out here in East Lansing. MSU should realize the injustice happening there. Perhaps someday soon, MSU will reconsider their mistake of association with SeaWorld and end the study away program replacing it with a well-structured pro-animal rights program. Here’s hoping.

Coming to MSU made me understand privilege by Henry Pan opinion@statenews.com

“Life is fair, it’s just equally unfair.” Back in high school, my friend made this statement as we were growing up and trying to understand the “real world.” It was the kind of five-second sound bite with the cliché wordplay that you’d often see on a motivational poster. But very much like the previously mentioned statement, the idea of society’s problem was oversimplified to us, and it was a testament to how much growth we still had ahead. During my experience at MSU, I have gotten the opportunity to broaden my perspective and meet students from backgrounds different from my own. In many cases, I found students didn’t have the same opportunities I had, even though they were working just as hard. Some didn’t have AP courses at their high school, so they were spending extra time and money to pass the entry courses. Others were first-generation college

students, so there was lots of pressure for them to do well in an environment completely new to anyone within their family. In the College of Engineering, there are clubs like the Society of Women Engineers and a resource center for minority students. It was from this that I began to grasp the true concept of “privilege.” When I was young, I was taught privilege was something that was to be earned. Whether it was getting to spend more time around my friends or buying that new toy, I was under the impression that the privilege was something people worked for. This oversight was largely due to my inability to recognize the true nature of privilege. After all, I was living in Troy — one of the safest and wealthiest cities in Michigan. Despite naming ourselves “the city in a bubble,” my classmates and I were still incredibly ignorant to the concept of privilege because we never really experienced what it was like not to have enough to get by. Once in college, it was clear that many students couldn’t work for the same privileges my community was automatically given, and that gap proved to be a tremendous burden. Although I have changed my frame of mind to notice what has been there

the whole time, there are people still out there that don’t want to acknowledge that privilege is a real thing. In 2001 and 2002, the University of Chicago performed an experiment where they sent out thousands of completely identical resumes to a variety of employers, with the exception being the names — they study used either “Emily,” “Brendan,” “Lakisha,” or “Jamal.” The latter two names got 50 percent less callbacks than the former two. It’s unfortunate, but it’s easy to see that privilege is more than just a minor factor. And yet, I continue to meet people with astounding privilege that believe that their opportunities are solely because they worked for it. I understand that discussions of privilege are not the most uplifting in the world. It makes sense that dampening your friend group’s conversation isn’t on the top of your agenda. However, I think it’s important that we all take the time to better understand this disparity that leaves many of us complacent toward helping others. If we can utilize our inherited opportunities to help those who were never given that chance, we can address this problem and grow together as a community.

The prosecutor in the exam, Russel Church, asked most of the questions, having Jiang go through the events of the night he was robbed.

Jiang had taken a long-distance cab for a day trip to Chicago to shop and see a friend, he said, pay ing Mc L it t le around $400, including a tip, for the ride down and arriving around 2 p.m. Jiang said he spent “a couple thousand” dollars in Chicago, including a trip luxury clothier Hermes, charging it to his credit card.

Spotlight Senior forward Branden Dawson overcomes injuries, leaves a legacy The men’s basketball player has sustained his fair share of pain, but he’s also grown immensely during his four years as a Spartan

By John Neidhart jneidhart@statenews.com

Hype can be a blessing and a curse. Senior forward Branden Dawson came into MSU with all the hype in the world and, as a result, has had blessings and curses during his career in East Lansing. Weaving his way through injuries, criticism and the decision to hold off on the NBA, Dawson has changed the narrative to his Spartan career in his final season. As his time winds down on his college career, his ceiling appears higher than ever. By making the unpopular decision to remain in school for four years, Dawson’s game has grown over the past few months, and it remains to be seen how much more he can develop. “Right now, the ceiling — I’m feeling good about everything,” Dawson said with a wide grin. His hard work is paying off for an MSU team that is firing on all cylinders heading into March. His evolution as a Spartan has been a journey, he said, a project with results that are still being discovered.

ed a glimpse into the future, posting 10 points and seven rebounds against a talented Tar Heel squad. His career was off to a great start, but it didn’t take long for a recurring pattern of adversity to set in.

Overcoming injuries It’s a diagnosis no athlete wants to hear. Torn ACL. In the last regular-season game of his freshman year, Dawson suffered a torn left ACL against Ohio State. MSU managed to get a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament but bowed out to Louisville in the Sweet 16. Dawson’s injury not only hampered his team’s immediate tournament aspirations but also his own goals to develop and train in the offseason. “It hurt me a lot when I tore my ACL my freshman year,” Dawson said. “That was a summer where I could have worked on my game even more. Dealing with the injuries, it was just all about coming back with a different mindset and a different approach.” Becoming a Spartan Head coach Tom Izzo thought DawAfter averaging 28.7 points, 18.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists as a senior at Lew Wallace son’s growth as a player took a huge hit. “Coaches always say, ‘PlayHigh School in Gary, Indiers are made in the sumana, Dawson was selected as mer, and teams are made a 2011 McDonald’s All-Amer“When I tore my in the winter,’” Izzo said. ican.

ly,” Trice said. “We both know how frustrating it is, and we’re both there for each other.” A spectacular senior year Despite the injuries, Dawson had a chance to get drafted after his junior year. He passed up the NBA. However, with the hopes of taking care of some unfinished business. He hadn’t defeated rival University of Michigan at Crisler Center in his career, but in mid-February that changed with an 80–67 thumping of the Wolverines. On the court, the ultimate goal for Dawson is still to chase down a Final Four and National Championship. Off the court, he will graduate with a degree in sociology. Dawson told mis mother after his junior year that he would finish college and get his degree. “She said just go ahead and finish and get your degree because that really can’t be taken away from you,” he said. “With that being said, it’s definitely been important for me and my family.” Although MSU has dealt with its fair share of adversity, Dawson has never doubted his decision to return. The evolution of his game Dawson entered college dripping with raw athleticism, but putting the pieces together consistently has always been an issue. Izzo said that Dawson had “a lot better offseason” last summer, and it has shown this year

through a more well-rounded game. Every year he’s been at MSU, his minutes, scoring, rebounding and assist numbers have increased. He’s shown steady improvement and has laid rest to the talk surrounding his “motor.” Because he’s taken classes over the last three summers, his course load is light this semester. As a result, Dawson has spent “classroom time” at Breslin Center with assistant coach Mike Garland. “(At) 11:30 every day, he’s got Professor Garland, and they come in, and they shoot free throws and they watch film and he’s working on his shot,” Izzo said. It’s easy to notice the improvements in Dawson’s turnaround jumper and even in his free throw shooting during his last three games. His passing, however, might be one of the most under-appreciated areas of his game. “I think watching film, you just have to be a student of the game,” Dawson said. “I just know when teams are gonna double team me — if the defense is coming from the weak side or if the defense is coming from the middle.” Dawson’s athleticism has always been reflected with his rebounding numbers. He is currently averaging 10 rebounds per game, and he’s top 10 in total rebounds in MSU history. “It’s surreal, just to see my name amongst the greats who played here,” Dawson said. “It’s a great feeling and something that my son will remember, my family, friends. Just leaving a legacy here at Michigan State, you know.”

News Exhibition puts spotlight on longtime MSU fencing coach’s collection By Kayla Clarke kclarke@statenews.com

Charles Schmitter first came to MSU in 1938 to coach the fencing team, and despite his 45-year tenure with the team, is not a well-known figure in the annals of MSU history. During his time at the university, he taught many fencers, and among them was MSU fencing hall of famer Richard Berry. Now Berry is 83, but he is still an active fencer. Although he now lives in Davis, California, Berry flew to MSU Wednesday to pay homage to Schmitter at a live fencing demonstration by the MSU Fencing Club. “Charlie taught me a different way of thinking,” Berry said. The event was hosted by MSU libraries in part to bring attention to “For Solider and Sport,” a fencing exhibition located on the first floor of the Main Library. Patrick Olson, special collections librarian, organized the demonstration. He contacted the president of the MSU Fencing Club, biochemistry and molecular biology senior Laura Cheaney, who eagerly agreed. The demonstration was a means to showcase the Charles and Ruth Schmitter Fencing Collection, which was donated to the Main Library in 1982. Since its donation, the collection has been used for research topics, a fact that Schmitter’s daughter Ruth Schmitter, said would have made him proud. Ruth Schmitter, an MSU alumna, hopes that the event will encourage more people to use the collection. She also said the collection captures who her father was, a man with an “expansive sense of humor.” While he would never write in the books, he would leave his notes. Which, Olson said, “makes for some fun reading.” Olson first shared some of the history behind the collection, as well as the man who donated the collection, to an audience of mostly older alumni and community members. His address was followed by the MSU Fencing Club’s demonstration, which illustrated different fencing techniques. Schmitter also inspired some fencers to continue with the sport after graduation.

Berry continued his training with Schmitter for at least eight years after he graduated. He stopped competing seriously in 1960, but honors Schmitter’s legacy by teaching fencing four days a week in Davis. He wakes up each morning anxious to fence and

is happy to share an activity that “stimulates the brain and the body.” Olson said he believes Schmitter, who was also a professor of health and physical education, is one of those collectors who isn’t just known for his generous donation.

According to archival reports in the Toledo Blade, he was also an accomplished musician. In a remembrance, retired MSU fencing coach Chris Oberg, said Schmitter could speak four languages. “Sometimes the collectors ... are just as remarkable as the books,” Olson said.

Off-campus students find ways to sneak into dining halls By Maria Braganini

National Eating Disorder Awareness week spurs conversations about healthy eating and postive body image on campus

By Meagan Beck mbeck@statenews.com

This week has been designated National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, dedicated to spurring conversation and increasing understanding about eating disorders. Spartan Body Pride, a group affiliated with Olin Health Center, hosted events this week to engage students and staff in the conversation. Among the events were yoga, a documentary showing and a discussion on intuitive eating. Sage Gauss, social work junior and president of Spartan Body Pride, said the week is important at MSU because it addresses an issue she feels has remained common in college. “It’s such a prevalent issue on college campuses, and it hasn’t gone away,” Gauss said. Andrea Kelly, a social work freshman and the event coordinator for Spartan Body Pride, said it’s important to bring attention to eating disorders because they can be common during a time of change and transition. “(College students) is definitely an age group that can be affect-

ed by it so we want to promote the idea that it’s good to have positive body image and live a healthy lifestyle,” Kelly said.

“Restrictive and restrained eating is so normalized in our culture, and it’s not normal. ... Eating is an emotional experience and it should feel good to nourish your body.” Anne Buffington, Spartan Body Pride advisor

In addition to the discussion and raising awareness aspect, Gauss said educating on the disorders and helping others combat them is part of the week. “Some people just don’t know the severity of (eating disorders) and

the resources MSU has to help out with them,” Gauss said. Nutritionists Anne Buffington and Peggy Crum lead an informative discussion about intuitive eating. Intuitive eating, to put it more simply, the process of paying attention to the senses indicating when the body is hungry to develop a better relationship with food. Buffington, who also is the group’s adviser, said having a healthy relationship with food is important. “Restrictive and restrained eating is so normalized in our culture, and it’s not normal,” Buffington said. “Eating is an emotional experience and it should feel good to nourish your body.” Unfortunately, an event that was supposed to happen at the rock on Farm Lane and close the week, was canceled due to inclement weather. Students and members of the group were going to “Say Something Nice” and spread positivity among the attendees. Despite the cancellation, Kelly said it should be set for a later date in the future. “We think it will be a more popular event if we do it in the spring time,” Kelly said.

Mbraganini@statenews.com

Thanks to the convenience of eating in the dining halls, off-campus students have developed methods to con themselves into the dining hall without swiping in. For students that live off campus, Residential and Hospitality Services offer a modified meal plan allowing students to choose a minimum of 25 meals and a maximum of 175, each of them averaging a lower price per meal with more meals purchased, but at a cost still close to full price. Outlined in the on-campus housing handbook, “The misuse of meal I.D.s or removal of food from the dining room increases the cost of food service for all residents.” In addition to the removal of food, the removal of utensils from dining halls also increase the annual price of meal plans. Dining services employee and kinesiology junior Austin Maas witnesses first-hand the number of off-campus students who attempt to sneak into the dining hall. “One in every 10 people try to sneak by,” Maas said. Mark Yepko, reservations and assistant dining services manager of Culinary Services at Brody Square, has seen all the tricks. The Handoff Student A swipes into the dining hall, gets a meal and sets their items down. Student A then asks the host if they can leave the cafeteria to use the bathroom or go to the front desk. Student A then hands off MSU ID to Student B while they’re outside of the dining hall.

The relay Two students who have meal plans enter the dining hall using their MSU IDs. One of the students then waits 15 minutes for the re-use violation to expire and leaves the dining hall with both IDs. The student then meets another student outside of the dining hall and gives them the extra ID and scans in again with their own. The Drop Student A swipes into Brody Square and then proceeds to walk toward the left side of the dining hall to an open, walled area. Student A then drops their MSU ID down to Student B on the lower level and Student B swipes in. The Confident Caper Student A confidently walks past the host, implying they are working in the dining hall with high hopes the host will not notice. The host in the situation might or might not stop the student before entering the dining hall. The lost in the crowd Student A attempts entrance during a rush, knowing their MSU ID does not have meals. The host, overwhelmed by the line entering the dining hall, quickly swipes student IDs without waiting for the register to catch up. Host then gives Student A’s ID back before authorizing the transaction and Student A quickly enters dining hall. The Slip Student A at Case and Shaw dining halls swipe their IDs to enter, then slip their IDs underneath the doors in the private study areas to another friend on the outside.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams undergoes construction using giants cranes Thursday at The FRIB off of Wilson Road. photo: erin hampton

FRI DAY, February 27, 2 01 5

To say Mi ke Va n Houten isn’t afraid of heights would be an understatement. You can’t be, in his profession. For the last six months, VanHouten has scaled the ladder of a 150-foot tower crane and gone to work at the construction site of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB — located on campus near the Wharton Center. VanHouten has been a crane operator for close to 30 years. It was around that long ago he was first introduced to the business by his father. “My dad was a crane operator and I learned it from him,” VanHouten said. “We started running small cranes on the ground and graduated into running tower cranes.” Since then, VanHouten’s work has taken him far and wide, from constructing a children’s hospital in a 280-foot crane in Grand Rapids, to the work he is doing today for FRIB. Funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science, MSU, and the State of Michigan, FRIB is a $730 million project that will one day play host to the study of rare isotopes. Rare isotopes are not normally

found in nature. Most are forged in spectacular cosmic processes and in rare isotope accelerators — something that would take place within the confines of FRIB. The construction of FRIB allows scientists to advance their knowledge of the physics of nuclei and nuclear astrophysics to advance their knowledge in several vital fields, including medicine, homeland security and industry. “This project is really interesting,” VanHouten said. “It’s really unique. I’ve never done anything like this before.” For FRIB Conventional Facilities and Infrastructure Division Director Brad Bull, who’s also overseen projects at MSU’s T.B. Simon Power Plant, has at times been taken aback by some of the things this project requires. “This project is very heavy,” Bull said. “Some sections have been 14 feet thick of concrete ... It’s thicker and heavier than anything I’ve ever done.” A nd if you’re to take a walk through the FRIB construction site, and peer inside the hole where a four-part 220,160 square foot building will one day stand, keep in mind that nearly every piece of equipment and machinery has been placed there by the

246-foot long beam of a crane. A crane which took an estimated seven or eight trucks and two days to erect on sight. FRIB Project Superintendent Cliff Goodman said the process involves construction team members on the ground radioing in to VanHouten on what needs to be done with the item at the end of the crane. In turn, VanHouten, in a pod 150 feet up in the air, will make adjustments as to what the crew is telling him to do. For VanHouten, who’s sat atop MSU’s campus from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. for nearly every week-day the past six months, most of the job comes easily to him. “On the day when there’s no wind, it’s really easy,” VanHouten said of how difficult it is for him to operate a tower crane. “On a windy day, it’s very, very hard. “It usually doesn’t get scary. As long as everything is working properly, it doesn’t get scary ... For me it’s completely normal because I’m up there everyday. It’s very relaxing and quiet.” As for the current state of the project, Bull says the construction team is still about eight weeks ahead of schedule, with the completion of the overall project aimed for 2022, and an early completion goal set for some time in 2020.

Good Eats: Late night dining for trips out on the town By Leslie Hemenway and Austin Koltonowski lhemenway@statenews.com akoltonowski@ statenews.com

Late night cravings are a struggle everyone has to deal with. Luckily for MSU students, there are a variety of places in East Lansing that stay open late to provide a wide array of midnight snacks for nights out on the town. C o n r a d ’ s C o ll e g e Town Grill “They have the perfect drunk people food. They got tots, they got cheesy tots, they got cheesy fries … they just got good drunk people food.” — Studio art senior Mariya Avanesyan Conrad’s College Town Grill is open from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday and from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. on weekends. This makes it a viable option if you’re looking for something in the late evening or super early morning. Avanesyan said Conrad’s is her go-to place when she’s craving something late at night. She said she usually orders their cheesy fries. Human resource management junior Tariq Alsaeed said he usually orders a Number One Wrap. This wrap consists of chicken, mozzarella and cheddar, tots, ranch and sour cream. “What I hate is the line in the restaurant — everything else was good,” he said. Alsaeed said he thinks Conrad’s is a popular option among students because it’s conveniently located near the bars. Lansing Community College marketing junior Hunter Wilson makes a Con-Wrap Tuesday at Conrad’s Grill on 101 E. Grand River Ave. Conrad’s is known for late-night delivery and their famous Con-wraps.

“There are a variety of different specials. We offer a dollar off everything from 10 to close, only thing that doesn’t count is the daily special.” Joe Bell, owner of The Peanut Barrel

The Peanut Barrel “In the summer especially, the patio makes it a great option. There aren’t really a lot of patios in town which I kind of find surprising, but that and it just kind of has a small, cozy feel to it.” — MSU alumnus Tony Homrich The Peanut Barrel is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., making it the place to go when you want to actually go out and sit down somewhere to eat. Owner Joe Bell said some of the most popular late-night drinks include draft beer and the signature Long Island. “There are a variety of different specials,” he said. “We offer a dollar off everything from 10 to close, only thing that doesn’t count is the daily special.” Homrich said he usually orders a chicken sandwich or burger. Bell’s Greek Pizza “I like Bell’s because it’s open late, it’s cheap and it’s a good deal for a late night meal.” — Kinesiology sophomore Kyle Gomes Open every day from 10 am to 3:30 am, Bell’s Greek Pizza is a late-night-go-to for a number of students. Bell’s is ideal for any students who happen to be craving pizza, breadsticks or even cheese fries. F RI DAY, F e b r uary 27, 2 01 5

Computer science sophomore Jon Lynch said that Bell’s Greek Pizza is great for people who live on campus and are up studying late. “Going to Bell’s is convenient because they deliver to the dorms,” computer science sophomore Jon Lynch said. Bell’s Greek Pizza’s menu consists of baklava, Greek spinach pie, and hummus and of course — the pizza. “The pizza tasted really good,” computer science sophomore Matt Bender said. Rice Kitchen “It has a good reputation and they’re usually pretty fast with delivery.” — Finance sophomore Sane Ciccone Rice Kitchen is another East Lansing favorite. Ciccone is a fan of Asian food and said what he likes about Rice Kitchen is their late night delivery. Acknowledging students’ late-night hunger, Rice Kitchen’s website said it is open very late for those with cravings after midnight. Offering a number of authentic Chinese dishes, Rice Kitchen serves multiple Chinese appetizers along with different meat, vegetable and soup dishes. But what is also appealing to Ciccone are the cheap prices. “It’s affordable for most college kids,” Ciccone said. Th e Stat e N e ws

COLUMN: Tom Anastos finally seeing success with ice hockey It’s been a long road to rebuild the ice hockey program since head coach Tom Anastos took the job in 2011. After rebuilding with freshmen that have turned into productive juniors and seniors, the Spartans have become a team to take seriously in the Big Ten By Jonathon Chun jchun@statenews.com

When head coach Tom Anastos took over the MSU hockey program on March 23, 2011, he knew what he was in store for. No fan ever likes to hear the term “rebuilding,” but that is exactly what Anastos was tasked with. Even though the Spartans made the NCAA Tournament in Anastos’ first year as an at-large big, he was then forced to replace 12 players on the roster. In that following year, MSU went 14-253 and finished last in the CCHA. Even then, Anastos stuck with his process. There were 10 freshmen on that 2012–2013 roster, and the inexperience showed throughout the next two years. But now, most of those players are regulars for the Spartans this year. While Anastos would admit that the process of getting MSU back to prominence is not going as quickly as he’d like, the former CCHA Commissioner never wavered in his approach. After another difficult year in the newly formed Big Ten hockey conference in 2013–2014 (1118-7), MSU is finally starting to get some of the results they had envisioned. Sitting at an even 13-13-2 record, the Spartans have a real opportunity to claim their first Big Ten regular season title. Yes, University of Minnesota and U-M currently sit two points ahead of MSU in the conference standings, but MSU still has two games left against each of the

teams ahead of them. While they don’t necessarily control their own destiny, it is as close as the Spartans have been to it since Anastos arrived. A former MSU hockey player from 1982–1985, Anastos often speaks of the culture that was built at MSU. The idea of always putting team goals in front of individual goals. That culture has been permeating through the locker room more and more over the last four years. The Spartans play a unique style of defense that takes all 18 skaters playing in sync with one goal in mind. MSU led the nation in blocked shots last season and ranks third this season. That was the key for Anastos when he took over the program. Instead of fighting for the topskill recruits and defensemen — ­ who most likely would not have committed anyways — Anastos sought out culture changers. “What we’re starting to … see is an incredible unselfishness amongst our team where guys are really starting to kind of play for each other,” Anastos said. “And that’s not something you can manufacture. It just kind of evolves because guys are accepting the roles that they have.” Slowly but surely, the Spartans are starting to inherit that mindset. While MSU might not get back to the NCAA tournament this year, fans can get accustomed to seeing the Spartans in contention for years to come. Job well done, Anastos.

California-born freshman shortstop McKenzie Long providing an offensive spark for MSU softball this season McKenzie Long is probably a name you’ve never heard before, but she’s going to be talked about often in relation to MSU’s softball team. Long is a freshman shortstop from Alta Loma, California, which is an hour outside of Los Angeles. “I came to State because I just fell in love with it, I fell in love with the teammates, fell in love with the school in general, and just everything about it seemed like home,” Long said. She has burst on the scene during this young season by providing an offensive spark for the Spartans.

“We don’t typically bring kids that far away from home if we don’t think they’re gonna be great, so, we think she can be great,” head coach Jacquie Joseph said. Long, who’s been playing softball for 15 years, missed the fall season due to injuries and is dealing with the transition of juggling softball and school. “There’s been some rough patches, but I think it makes it better just cause your teammates are in it with you, so you have somebody to lean on all the time,” Long said. Even though she is young, Long’s teammates said they believe in her. “She’s just adjusting, coming in as a freshman. It’s hard from playing high school ball and trav-

el ball, and she has a lot of potential,” senior outfielder Alyssa McBride said. “She’s just gotta keep working hard and have confidence in her abilities, and I think she’ll be great.” Long said the support has helped her adjust to college life. “My teammates are great,” she said. “They’ve had my back this whole time because it is such a big transition.” The beginning of the season was nerve wracking for Long, but she said now she is starting to get comfortable with her position and teammates. Joseph said that Long is doing well, despite her injuries, and she has met expectations. “She’s doing all the things she needs to do to

get better,” Joseph said. “I think she has potential to start and play in the middle infield for us ... I can’t say enough good things about her.” Her teammates have noticed her natural ability so far “She has a lot of ability, she’s just gotta play her game, play the game that she always has played,” McBride said. McBride said that Long can be one of the best fielders on the team if she puts her mind to it. Long said that she has learned about life through softball and it has taught her to deal with anything that life throws at her. “I believe it’s going to be like this for the next four years,” Long said. “Hard, grinding, but fun.”

Aerial Powers breaks MSU single season scoring record By Zach Libby zlibby@statenews.com

Sophomore forward Aerial Powers has found herself gaining many fans this season. Count Rutgers head coach C. Vivian Stringer as one of them. When the 2009 Basketball Hall of Fame inductee had her run-in with reporters inside the tunnel, the conversation quickly focused on the performance of Aerial Powers. Stringer said that if she could go back and change her preparations for last season’s Big Ten regular-season champions, she would have

Powers has had an outstanding year, and Sunday Rutgers her outstanding year turned historic. She broke the school’s season scoring record. “Aerial Powers is an outstanding player. Just a great player,” Stringer said. “I think coach has done a great job utilizing her and (Tori) Jankoska. They complement each other very well, and she deserves all the credit.” Powers also broke former WNBA standout Liz Shimek’s single-season scoring record on the very same day by recording her 600th point

Hookah smoking can pose serious health risks By Meagan Beck mbeck@statenews.com

Silver fox, Night Queen, Code 69. These are just a few flavors of the popular tobacco product, hookah. For those under 21 and looking for something to do on a Friday night, hookah seems like a viable option – it’s inexpensive and anyone over 18 can go. Philosophy major Mia Dubois said although she hasn’t smoked hookah in a while, she likes the social aspect of it. “It’s a social experience for weekends and stuff,� Dubois said. “It’s cool because anyone can do it around this area.� But Fred Batayeh, substance abuse prevention specialist for the Arab American and Chaldean Council, said what some students don’t know is in a typical 45 minute to hour long session, they are smoking the equivalent of up to 100 cigarettes. “There’s a perception among not just Arab people that hookah is alright,� Batayeh said. “The nicotine is still there, the tar is still there and it’s just as addictive.� College is a melting pot of cultures – so it’s

not uncommon to be exposed to new foods and activities, like hookah, by friends of different backgrounds. If appreciating Arab, or Middle Eastern, culture is what some students are looking for, Batayeh suggested trying the food or listening to the music. “Arab culture is so rich in so many ways and hookah is such a small part of it,� Batayeh said. Lara Mansour, another substance abuse prevention specialist for the Arab American and Chaldean Council, said some people may see smoking hookah as way to relax or get a “buzz.� Someone not familiar with tobacco or nicotine might feel a light-headed feeling after smoking, but Batayeh said a tolerance can be built up. Another issue Batayeh mentioned with the hookah devices used at public lounges is the increased risk of contracting diseases such as Herpes, the flu or meningitis. A base attached to the device is filled with water, and Mansour said there is not a way to clean that part internally. “They don’t clean it from group to group,� Mansour said. “They use it for the entire day if not two to three days until they feel like cleaning it.�

Students can search for scholarships on popular smartphone app By Alyssa Smith Asmith@statenews.com

Open the iTunes App Store, and you’ll see one of the apps topping the carts is Scholly. Scholly is a mobile app that connects students with hundreds of non-institutional scholarships based on state, GPA, gender, grade and other miscellaneous sections such as what you study, whether you’re vegan or vegetarian and even that you are not a student athlete. The mobility of the app allows students to search for scholarships on the go. In the short bus ride from one end of campus to another, you could find a handful of scholarships you know you’re qualified for. The app allows users to save lists of scholarships which they can email to

themselves, and apply online for later, or the app provides the link which opens the page in an internet browser on your phone. Scholly creator Christopher Gray is an undergraduate at Drexel University, which he was only able to attend after he won $1.3 million in scholarships. He partnered with web developers Nick Pirollo and Bryson Alef to create, maintain, and update the app. The three person team are working towards allowing students to apply for scholarships in-app. The app most recently caused buzz after Gray pitched it to ABC’s “Shark Tank� and three of the ‘sharks’ walked out after Gray made a $40,000 deal with the two other sharks. Scholly is available through Apple and Android devices for $0.99, and online for $2.99 at scholly.com.
