Hurricane Sandy shakes up AU COURTESY OF NASA/NOAA GOES PROJECT

Staff work through Hurricane Sandy

By JORDAN-MARIE SMITH EAGLE STAFF WRITER

Hurricane Sandy did not deter AU staff from running the Terrace Dining Room, Eagle’s Nest and maintenance operations despite lack of public transportation.

Grounds and facility management staff worked during the hurricane from Oct. 28 to Oct. 30, according to Assistant Vice President of Facilities Management Vincent Harkins.

The grounds staff handled fallen trees, branches and debris while resolving problems with roof and ground drainage that occurred during the hurricane. Meanwhile, Facilities Management responded to internal and external building leaks and reports of broken glass.

Both teams stayed in the Asbury facilities management office and slept on cots, Harkins said.

AU grounds staff and facilities management staff were compensated for the extra hours worked, which exceeded the standard 40 hours a week, according to Harkins.

Eight Aramark work-

ers and some supervisors stayed overnight in residence halls on Oct. 29, Harkins said. Approximately 45 Aramark workers came in Oct. 30 despite the University closure, for which AU provided them with free lunch and dinner at TDR. Bon Appétit management also provided room and board for Bon Appétit workers who chose to work during the hurricane on Oct. 29 and 30. They were housed in the Holiday Inn on Wisconsin Avenue, according to Residential Director Michelle Mooney.

“Employees that came in on Monday carpooled with others that lived nearby,” she said. “All chefs came in early and managers went out doing what needed to be done. We do what we need to do.”

Bon Appétit compensated all employees for the hours worked overtime, according to Mooney.

Bon Appétit employees had the choice to not work during the hurricane if family and transportation conflicts arose.

“It’s unbelievable,” Mooney said. “The dedication you see in people.”

University repairs leaks after storm passes

By JARED ANGLE EAGLE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Heavy rainfall from Hurricane Sandy caused leaks in some residence halls and off-campus housing, forcing students to improvise while University workers fixed leaks.

Many of the leaks could not be sealed until it stopped raining, as the caulk used to fix leaks is not effective when surfaces are still wet, according to Chris Moody, assistant vice president for Housing and Dining Programs.

No single hall was par-

ticularly affected more than another, according to Moody.

“We had a number of leaks in rooms and common spaces,” Moody said.

Anderson Hall Resident Assistant Peter Conte said his room was flooded.

“There was a waterfall coming out of my windows, and my bed is now a lake,” Conte, a sophomore in the Kogod School of Business, said.

A stairwell and a lounge in Leonard Hall also leaked, according to Kogod sophomore Megan Fredricks.

Construction not delayed by hurricane

By SAMANTHA RAPHELSON EAGLE STAFF WRITER

On-campus construction will be completed on time despite flooding and lost days of work due to Hurricane Sandy.

The McKinley Building, North Hall and Nebraska Hall additions flooded on Oct. 29 during the storm but did not suffer any water damage, according to

Jorge Abud, assistant vice president of Facilities Development and Real Estate.

“Delays because of weather are always anticipated in the schedule, so I don’t think it’s going to have a material impact on the completion date,” he said.

North Hall and the Nebraska Hall addition are expected to be completed by next fall. The

sixth-floor room in Anderson Hall began leaking at 6 p.m. on Oct. 29 with water coming through the ceiling and down a column in the corner of her room.

Facilities Management arrived at 9:30 p.m. the same day and diverted the leak from the column toward the windowsill, Schlechter said.

Nebraska Hall had a partial power outage caused by a large fallen tree on Nebraska Avenue. Three trees were also knocked down on the main campus, according to Grounds Operations Coordinator Stephanie DeStefano.

Maintenance staff moved room by room through residence halls with the goal of responding to every issue

as soon as possible, according to Assistant Director of Facilities Operations Holly Mussatti. Staff also responded to drain backups at the Brandywine Building in Tenleytown.

Professional contractors visited campus on Oct. 31 to check residence halls for long-term damage to prevent future problems, according to Mussatti.

The Berkshire Apartments had several leaks, mostly on the building’s west side, with water entering upper-level apartments.

Leaks also affected some of the stairwells and one elevator.

Eagle Contributing Writer Peter Seremetis contributed to this report.

renovation of the McKinley Building into the new School of Communication is expected to be finished in spring 2014.

Crews began visual inspection of the damage Oct. 30 before beginning to pump out the water the next day, Abud said. Most of the water should be removed by the end of Nov. 1, he said.

Abud said the 100-foot crane situated on the North Hall site was workers’ “biggest concern” prior to the hurricane.

McDowell Hall resi-

dents should not have been concerned about the AU crane collapsing, said Michael Purcell, the project manager for the Nebraska and North Halls.

“The cranes in this area are designed to withstand winds of 94 mph, so we knew the storm was going to be below that,” Abud said.

Abud said construction workers took proper precaution for the storm.

“We rely on them to use their good judgment,” Abud said.

Students petition for ‘TDR Kevin’

By HEATHER MONGILIO EAGLE STAFF WRITER

An AU student started a petition after Bon Appétit fired Kevin Nelson, known as “TDR Kevin,” earlier this week.

School of Public Affairs student Sara McClafferty started the petition calling AU to pressure Bon Appétit to rehire Nelson, who often worked at the ice cream counter.

“TDR Kevin is everyone’s friend,” McClafferty wrote on the petition.

“TDR Kevin is an important staple of AU culture.

Long Live TDR Kevin!”

As of Oct. 30, the petition had 582 signatures.

The reason for Nelson’s removal is not known at the time, and Bon Appétit and Nelson’s union representative, Lauren Burke, declined to comment.

Nelson is looking to be rehired by Bon Appétit, Burke said.

Students responded to Nelson’s removal with chalk drawings that said “We love Kevin” placed around Mary Graydon Center.

“TDR Kevin is not just a man, not even a legend, he was an idea,” Patrick

Sullivan, a senior in SPA, wrote on the online petition as his reason for signing. “The idea that TDR workers and rich AU kids can span their socioeconomic circles and coexist with one another in social environments.”

Students are not the only ones upset with Bon Appétit. TDR cook Antonio Brown believes Bon Appétit fired Kevin because he was eating on the job.

Brown, who has worked at Bon Appétit for four years, said he thought a new Bon Appétit employer is behind

Nelson’s removal.

“When he comes to work he comes to fire someone,” Brown said about the new employer.

Sullivan found other employees had unpleasant customer service until he met Nelson.

“My experience with Bon Appétit employees in the four years I have been a student at AU have been overwhelmingly unpleasant,” Sullivan wrote in the petition. “But Kevin Nelson seemed to be the new guy who was changing that stigma for the better.”

Former Spring Valley munitions area surveyed for health hazards

By LEIGH GIANGRECO EAGLE STAFF WRITER

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University are conducting a D.C.funded health survey of the Spring Valley area due to residents’ concerns after WWI-era munitions were found in the area.

Residents living on the formerly used defense site worried about their health after munitions were discovered in Spring Valley in 1993. The District funded a study in 2007, which determined the community’s health to be “very good” overall compared to the rest of the U.S. The 2007 study also found there was no relationship between cancer incidence and proximity to areas contaminated by the formerly used WWI defense site. However, the study found links between cancer incidences and known contaminated areas in specific cases.

The current survey is a follow-up to the 2007 one with more qualitative data, according to Beth Resnick, an associate scientist at Johns Hopkins.

Resnick said Johns

Hopkins is trying to survey all residents, including former AU students who no longer live in the area today.

“We’re trying to send out the survey to not only current students, it’s also alumni that have been there, too,” Resnick said.

The survey is voluntary and not limited to health questions concerning the contaminated site.

“We just want to get the sense of what the people in the community are concerned with overall,” said.

“So there’s a long list there — that includes domestic violence — that wouldn’t necessarily be related to the Spring Valley study, to give us a picture of overall community health.”

The survey will cover the 20015 and 20016 area codes, since the contaminated site includes parts of Spring Valley, AU Park, the Dalecarlia Reservoir Grounds, Friendship Heights, Cathedral Heights and parts of Chevy Chase.

The online version of the survey may be filled out for more than one person in a household.

HIV testing numbers remain the same despite cut funding

By SAMANTHA HOGAN EAGLE STAFF WRITER

Despite renewed access to free HIV testing on campus, the number of students using this service remains unchanged from a year ago.

In the spring of 2011, the D.C. Department of Health cut funding for free HIV testing at AU because little to no positive tests came from AU’s student population. This forced the Student Health Center to raise the minimum price per test to $20.

AU students on the University’s Insurance Plan can be tested for HIV for free at the Student Health Center with the enactment of the Affordable Health Care Act, Daniel Bruey, director of the Student Health Center, said.

The health plan costs $1,680 annually, according to AU’s website. Almost 3,000 students are enrolled in the plan, according to Student Health Center Patient Services Supervisor Teddy Peyton.

National data show low condom use by college-age individuals and a continued HIV epidemic in D.C. College students may be having more unprotected sex than their teenage counterparts, according to a 2009 survey by the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior (NSSHB).

The survey has concerning implications for

the D.C. area, which has one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS in the country, according to a July 2012 fact sheet released by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Approximately 14,465 D.C. residents have HIV, which is 2.7 percent of its population. Anything over 1 percent is considered an epidemic by the United Nations Program on HIV/ AIDS. Only 45 percent of college-aged males and 38.7 percent of college-aged females reported using a condom during their last 10 sexual encounters, according to this survey.

Getting tested allows individuals infected with HIV to take preventive steps to stop the spread of the disease, live longer and stay

HIV TESTING ON CAMPUS

Bruey said he could remember only two positive HIV tests conduced at AU in the eight years he worked for the Student Health Center.

The number of HIV tests administered by the Student Health Center includes, t 285 oral and 51 blood (between May 1, 2010 and April 30, 2011) t 317 oral and 14 blood (between May 1, 2011 and April 30, 2012) t 121 oral and 3 blood (between May 1 2012 and Oct. 16) The test costs $20 without going through an insurance company, Bruey said. The cost of going through one’s insurance company may actually be higher, he said.

D.C. college students recently voiced concern about HIV testing fees at university health centers.

Students at George Washington University recently protested their health center’s $25 HIV testing fee, which is $5 more expensive than AU’s, after testing dropped by nearly 200 tests last year, according to an article in GW’s newspaper The Hatchet.

“It’s not so much about who has HIV in one’s city,” Herbenick said in an email, “rather, does your partner have HIV?”

College students may be having more unprotected sex than their teenage counterparts.

healthy.

“Let’s find out now,” Daniel Bruey, director of the Student Health Center, said. “Let’s take care of it now. Let’s prevent future things from happening.”

However, most college campuses have low HIV rates, according to Debby Herbenick, a research scientist at Indiana University and one of the lead researchers of the NSSHB.

Wal-Mart construction continues despite neighbor worries

SHOGAN@THEEAGLEONLINE.COM

By AMBER COHEN EAGLE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Wal-Mart will make its debut in the District with two locations even though a local appeal to the D.C. Zoning Board.

The first store will be located on Georgia and Missouri Avenue in Northeast D.C., according to the Wal-Mart website.

The store will be almost a mile from the Takoma Park Metro station and about four miles from AU. A second store is being built on 1st and H Streets, almost five miles from the AU campus.

There is no prediction as to when either store will open, according to Wal-Mart Senior Director of Community Affairs Steve Restivo.

Six D.C. residents filed an appeal to revoke WalMart’s permits to build on the Georgia Avenue site in August.

The residents said the WalMart store violates current zoning policies that forbid new

grocery stores to protect the current local stores in this area. Other residents, such as D.C. Jobs organizer Mike Wilson, worry these stores will deplete jobs and hurt small business in the area.

“Wal-Mart tried to find store locations that didn’t need too many administration reviews or public hearings without public comment,” Wilson said.

“But the community here in D.C. is standing up and

wanting a say.”

However, the D.C. Board of Zoning Adjustments overturned this appeal on Oct. 16 because it was outside its jurisdiction, according to the Zoning Board’s website.

Wal-Mart plans to build six locations in the D.C. area. With two underway, Restivo said the new WalMart locations will create 1,800 new retail jobs and 600 construction jobs.

Ward 3 D.C. Councilwoman Mary Cheh has moved to restrict the sale of sugary drinks in the District. Her proposal is similar to the soda ban passed in New York City last year that is aimed to reduce obesity rates.

“We, along with others, would look to challenge it in the courts.”

Linnekin said the correlation between soda consumption and obesity rates remains unclear because soda consumption in the U.S. has declined but obesity continues to rise.

council narrowly rejected.

However, Cheh may look to draft a new version of the legislation in coming months with support from other councilmembers, according to an Oct. 23 WTOP report.

“That will probably happen this year,” Kiara Pesante, Cheh’s communications director, said.

The proposed ban could face stiff opposition from Baylen Linnekin, a food law scholar and AU adjunct professor. He is the executive director of Keep Food Legal, an organization that unites restaurant groups and other advocacy groups against food legislation.

“We would certainly argue against [the restric-

law.

Anthony Clark, a sophomore in the School of International Service, grew up in D.C. and believes soda restrictions would help combat public health problems in poorer neighborhoods. “[Companies] are marketing to poor people who buy sodas,” he said.

“That’s a huge contributor to obesity in Maryland and D.C.” However, School of Communication sophomore Haley Holtzscher said she doubts these restrictions will deter frequent soda drinkers.

“If you really want to get around the system, order two sodas,” she said.

Two AU students are running for commissioner of two districts in the Advisory Neighborhood Commission.

School of International Service sophomore Rory Slatko and School of Public Affairs junior Joe Wisniewski are two of eight students in the D.C. area running for ANC positions this fall, according to citywide student advocacy group D.C. Students Speak.

ANCs are local residential groups that advise the local government and neighbors on a variety of issues, ranging from parking to noise complaints.

Slatko is running to represent ANC 3D07, which includes students living in Anderson, Centennial, Letts, Leonard, Hughes and McDowell Halls. It is an all-student and singlemember district. SPA junior Deon Jones currently holds this title, but does not represent the same constituents since he was elected before the redistricting in 2011. Jones represents Southside residents.

Wisniewski is running to represent ANC 3D10, which includes the Avalon, Berkshire and Greenbriar Apartments. It also represents Nebraska Hall and the Ward Circle Condos.

Ward 3D was redistricted in 2011 to include an all-student district. It also placed Roper and Clark Halls in 3D02 along with parts of Spring Valley. Incumbent and former ANC 3D Chair Tom Smith is the only registered candidate for 3D02.

MEET THE CANDIDATES RORY SLATKO - 3D07

Slatko said he will try to increase the variety of modes of transportation for students if voted into office.

Adding bike lanes and bolstering the AU shuttle service are all parts of his plan to alleviate the neighborhood’s parking conundrum, he said.

Slatko served in Student Government as the SIS senator last year, where he helped to pass legislation calling for gender-neutral housing on campus.

The 19-year-old is running largely unopposed as a write-in candidate for ANC 3D07. While 25 signatures are required to be placed on the ballot, Slatko chose to take the write-in path instead.

Slatko said mediating conflict between neighbors and students will be tricky

because of his all-student constituency.

However, having both groups participate in community service may resolve some of the tension.

Slatko said he felt locals’ perceptions of the student community are largely based off a small portion of individuals who choose to be loud, litter and violate the law.

“That’s where the core of the neighbor experience has been with AU students, and I think that’s what is most detrimental [to neighbor relations],” he said.

Slatko said he opposes the recent Residential Parking Protection Act (RPPA), which required AU students to register their cars in D.C. Students who live off campus should have the right to their respective parking spots, he said.

However, he said the University shared some of the blame for the situation since it charges high oncampus parking fees. “[RPPA] was a desperate move to fix a pretty des-

Wisniewski said he wants to enhance the Zipcar program, lower on-campus parking prices and increase shuttle accessibility to reduce neighborhood parking issues.

Wisniewski said he understood students’ hesitancy to park within the University, given the steep prices for parking permits.

“Now I don’t know about you or me, but I don’t have an extra $1,000 lying around, especially when I go to one of the most expensive schools in the country,” he said.

The 20-year-old Indiana native is running against Silvia Lucero, a neighbor who lives on Massachusetts Avenue. Wisniewski acquired 25 signatures and is on the official ballot. Wisiniewski currently serves as the speaker of the SG Senate.

Unlike Slatko, Wisniewski is running in an area that has both student and non-student residents.

Wisniewski said he plans to host events such as choral concerts, where students and neighbors can meet to improve their relationship.

Wisniewski’s biggest regret is not registering to vote in D.C. sooner. He said he was cynical of D.C. politics at first but soon changed his perspective.

“I realized that the issues that come up in front of the commissions, in front of the city hall, have a direct impact on our everyday lives,” he said. “It’s something you only find in local government.”

ANTICIPATED ALBUMS, FILMS MARK LIEBERMAN — TAKE 5 The week’s biggest pop culture news comes in the form of high-profile album released from chart-topping musicians Taylor Swift and Aerosmith and the much-anticipated release of the film “Wreck-It-Ralph.”

LIFE’S A GAME

A new animated film titled “Wreck-It-Ralph” will attract an unusual demographic when it opens on Nov. 2. Children will be drawn to this colorful Disney adventure while enthusiastic gamers will delight in numerous cameo appearances from some of the most popular video game characters of all time, including icons from “Super Mario Bros,” “Street Fighter,” “Pac-Man” and “Dig Dug,” among others.

This film also boasts strong early reviews and a robust voice cast including John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Mindy Kaling, Jane Lynch, Jack McBrayer, Ed O’Neill and even dubstep DJ Skrillex.

ACHIEVING LIFTOFF

After receiving copious criticism for his reliance on new motion-capture technologies in such films as “The Polar Express,” “Beowulf” and the reimagined “A Christmas Carol,” film director Robert Zemeckis (“Back to

the Future”) returns Nov. 2 with “Flight,” his first live-action film since 2000’s “Cast Away.”

This mystery drama stars Denzel Washington (“Safe House”) as a pilot who pulls off a daring emergency landing under mysterious circumstances. In addition to praising Zemeckis’ decision to return to his live-action strengths, early reviews have singled out Washington’s performance as one of his most complex.

NOT GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON

After storming the sales charts with her critically-praised fourth studio album “Red” last week, Taylor Swift dropped another high-profile, if not unexpected, announcement on a special edition of “20/20” last Friday night.

Swift will be embarking on an extensive tour next year to promote the new album and provide opportunities for girls (and guys!) of all ages to scream their heads off when they hear her songs of heartbreak and no-longer-a-teen angst.

British pop sensation Ed Sheeran, Swift’s duet partner on “Everything is Changed,” will be the opening act. The tour stops in D.C. on May 11 and 12.

AU musician-in-residence performs recital of Schubert’s classical compositions

By DAVID KAHEN-KASHI EAGLE STAFF WRITER

Yuliya Gorenman, a musician-in-residence at AU, performed the piano compositions of Franz Schubert at the Kazten Arts Center in Abramson Family Recital Hall on Oct. 27.

The show was part of an ongoing series of concerts called “The Gorenman Piano Project.”

These recitals have explored the keyboard compositions of different composers, including Chopin, Liszt and Schumann.

In Schubert’s lifetime, he composed over a thousand works. Gorenman said it was “extremely hard despite his very short life span” to narrow down the selection considering Schumann’s reputation as a master of melodies.

“I decided to select the ones which best represented his style: ‘Impromptu,’ ‘Fantasy,’

‘Sonata’ and ‘a Song,’” Gorenman said in an interview with The Eagle.

The program included “Four Impromptus op. 90,” “Wanderer Fantasy,” “Sonata in C minor” and two songs of Schubert’s arranged by Franz Liszt: “Auf dem Wasser zu singen” and “Ständchen.”

Gorenman started playing at the age of seven and eventually gained entrance to the Special School for Musically Gifted Children in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

“I had lessons six times a week,” Gorenman said. “At first I practiced for two hours every day and then my hours increased greatly.”

She then later trained at the renowned St. Petersburg Conservatory, where legendary composers like Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev had studied, before she immigrated to the United States.

“Being a musician-in-resi-

dence allows me to teach as well as perform,” Gorenman said, who joined AU in 1997.

“Being around students and faculty greatly enriches my life.”

Gorenman started “The Gorenman Piano Project” in 2011, performing piano works

“For a typical solo recital you have to keep in your memory nearly two hours worth of music, thousands of notes and myriad details,” Gorenman said. “And when you have that incredible feeling that the audience is with you it’s worth absolutely everything. All those impossibly long hours of staying up and practicing when everybody is asleep and when your body is aching from fatigue. All worth it.”

Roux: the Base of Sauce JODY AREMBAND — THE COLLEGE FOODIE It’s surprising how easy it is to make delicious sauces rather then buying the stuff in jars.

There are also a lot more options of sauces that you can make with a roux.

WHAT’S ROUX?

A roux, also called panada, is the base of most sauces, gravies, soups and stews. This thickening agent is largely associated with French cooking although it is used in many different cuisines. Simply, it is a mixture of flour and butter in a hot pan.

HOW TO MAKE IT

Melt the butter and then add the flour. The important thing is to keep stirring. A roux will change color from light gold to brown very quickly. You also have to keep stirring so it’s evenly mixed and creamy. I use the proportion of 1

tablespoon of butter to 1 tablespoon flour. Different recipes may call for different proportions based on the desired texture of the sauce.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

You get variation in the sauce from manipulating the proportion of flour in relation to butter, how long you cook them and what you add. If you want a thicker sauce, add a bit more flour; for a thinner sauce, less flour. The best way to tell how long a roux has been cooking for is by its color. Roux quickly turns to light gold or light brown color when it is ready to use. But depending on what you are trying to make and your preference, you may want to let it turn a darker color.

MIX IT UP

To make a delicious

white sauce, like alfredo, let the roux turn a light brown color on low heat and add one cup of milk, increase the heat to medium high and stir continuously. For a true alfredo, add salt, pepper and nutmeg. For a sauce with more cajun flare, let the roux darken and then add diced onions, garlic and Creole seasoning.

A few days ago, I got some pierogies from Safeway. Pierogies are like Polish ravioli and are usually filled with cheese and potatoes. To go with them, I made a tasty mustard sauce. For the whole box, I melted 2 tablespoons of butter and added 2 tablespoons of flour and stirred until it turned very light brown. Then I added a spoonful of Dijon mustard. To make it a bit creamier, add a tiny bit of milk. Enjoy!

Aerosmith, ‘Homeland’ attract big buzz ≤ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

DON’T MISS A THING

In the past three years, most headlines concerning legendary rock band Aerosmith have focused on frontman Steven Tyler, who made passes at women half his age and offered scintillating constructive criticism like “Beautiful!” and “Over the top!” during his loopy two-year stint as a judge on “American Idol.”

Having abandoned the “Idol” ship in a haze of disturbing facial expressions and high-pitched yowls,

Tyler has returned to his band to helm the new album “Music From Another Dimension,” out next week. The success of this attempt to restore Aerosmith’s rock credibility remains to be seen.

HOMELAND SECURITY

Recent critical and fan buzz suggests that this columnist has been remiss in failing to watch a single episode of Showtime’s thrilling television series “Homeland,” which airs on Sundays at 10 p.m.

The recent Emmy winner for Best Drama has at-

tracted ecstatic reviews for its stunning performances

by Claire Danes (“Temple Grandin”), Damian Lewis (“The Sweeney”), Mandy Patinkin (“Jock the Hero Dog”), its masterful suspense and powerful writing from such TV heavyweights as Henry Bromell (“Rubicon”).

In its second season, this show seems to have evolved from a critical favorite to a drama heavyweight. Take a break from the hurricane cleanup and catch up on a riveting series.

Folger Theatre soars with adaptation of Persian poem ‘Conference of the Birds’

By MEGAN KONYDYK EAGLE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Proving that Folger Theatre offers more than Shakespeare, “The Conference of the Birds” lights up the stage with its adaptation of the 12th century Persian poem by Farid ud-Din Attar.

The play is an epic adventure, following a flock of birds on their quest to find the Simorgh, a legendary bird that represents enlightenment. Each bird embodies a human flaw that hinders them in their journey. The birds are led by the Hoopoe (“wisest bird”) played by Patty Gallagher, who leads the cast admirably, giving just the right amount of wisdom and strength to her character.

Before the show begins, the sound of a pulsating drum rhythm is heard, creating a tribal atmosphere that is present throughout the play. The play progresses through a series of sto-

ries told by the Hoopoe and acted by the birds, who portray different characters for each story.

The first half of the play is each bird giving the Hoopoe a different reason why they cannot make the journey to see the Simorgh, and the Hoopoe responding with a story to convince them to come. After some of the flock has left, the remaining birds begin the flight. The second half of the play is comprised of the actual journey that spans decades and numerous trials, during which many of the birds do not survive.

“The Conference of the Birds” incorporates song and dance into the production seamlessly. Each song has a different flavor to it, ranging from an acoustic guitar indie number by the Sparrow (Britt Duff) to something reminiscent of 1960s soul sung by the Dove (Celeste Jones). Every actor possesses an impressive physicality, por-

traying the various types of birds with fluidity.

The set, designed by AU Assistant Professor Meghan Raham, is very elemental with hanging moss curtains and mirrored glass structures throughout the stage used to represent the numerous locations of the play.

Lighting designer Jennifer Schriever made an innovative use of the unique space of Folger Theatre by putting hanging lights over the audience that resemble a star lit night sky.

The costumes all had an earth-tone theme, along with layers that masked the human form and allowed the actors to portray bird like movements with seeming ease.

Though this play originates from 12th century Iran, modern audiences will still connect with its gorgeous visuals and classic story of a journey to selfdiscovery.

AUDIOPHILE

MY PLEA FOR MORE THRIFT STORES JANE MORICE — Secondhand Style This week, I unfortunately did not find time to go to a secondhand store of any kind (besides ones that I have already written about for past columns, so that would be boring). However, I have an issue with the secondhand selection in the District, and I can’t think of a better place to voice my opinion than right here.

Here is my burning question: Where are all the thrift stores? Yes, I understand that we live in the nation’s capital, and (maybe) its image would be tarnished by a Goodwill or a Salvation Army storefront. That is why there are so many trendy boutiques and a three-story Forever 21 on F St. (I love the idea, but come on).

But who doesn’t love a good deal? And since Halloween was just this past week, a great thrift store would have made it that much easier to find a silly T-shirt or dress for a costume, without spending a lot of cash.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The consignment and vintage shops that I have visited in the District have been nice. But sometimes I get into this unrealistic habit of comparing the prices at these consignment shops to the prices of the thrift stores I have back home.

For example, I bought my favorite pair of darkwash Joe’s Jeans at a thrift store back home for probably about $10. If I were to go to a consign-

ment shop here in D.C. (I’m thinking of a few in particular as I write), I would find the same pair of jeans or a comparable pair for double or maybe triple that price. I understand that this pair of Joe’s Jeans can run upwards of $150 to $200, so even at $30 I shouldn’t complain.

But where are the bargains? Where are the stupid T-shirts and comfy pullover sweaters that my grandfather would wear?

I’ve been searching and I have yet to find one thrift store besides Martha’s Outfitters (associated with the charity Martha’s Table on U Street) where I can get a good bargain.

Maybe some of the best thrift stores are inaccessible by Metro. (If yes, there is my problem. I don’t have a bike nor do I have a car. Even then this seems unfair.)

If you are aware of where some of the thrift stores — the good, nitty gritty, kind of shady thrift stores — in the area, I would love to hear from you, and I may even possibly write about it for this column. Otherwise, I will have to settle for Martha’s Outfitters and the newly-opened Buffalo Exchange on M Street in Georgetown (in the location where Annie Creamcheese used to be). Yet hopefully my eyes will be opened and I will no longer be bitter.

I’m frugal, what else can I say?

Looking for new music? DJs at WVAU share their thoughts on a range of recent releases.

SHINY TOY GUNS III Welcome back, Carah Faye.

On their newest studio album, Shiny Toy Guns plays off their signature style with a new feel, one that’s more melancholy and fantastic. The opening two tracks

(“Somewhere to Hide” and “Waiting Alone”) are full of futuristic synths, and frontwoman Carah Faye’s influence back in the group shows through reflective lyrics and vocals.

What makes Shiny Toy Guns so versatile and magical is the otherworldly feeling one gets when listening.

The more one listens, the more intriguing the sound becomes.

A perfect example: “Wait For

latest release implements a psychedelic sensibility in combination with Sleigh Bells percussion and Daft Punk breakdowns.

No, really. Take the first track “Windshield Smasher.”

Beginning with power chords and drums full of attack, a vocal enters with the synth, then the whole theme begins to revolve around a “Thriller” electronic sequence.

It’s an unusual combination to be sure. Yet on the first listen, the

sound is actually very appealing.

The ghostly vocals may get old at times, but the sheer originality of the instrumentation is so striking that Cobra Juicy could just be your new walking-around music for a while.

Maybe we should book Black Moth Super Rainbow for the new Mario Kart…

RIYL: The Flaming Lips, Daft Punk

Much of their appeal comes from a grab bag of appeal: cheery indie rock licks, witty, often hilariously detailed lyricism and bizarre philosophical musings.

“Mumps, etc.” is a bit more methodical than previous releases.

Lines are immediately apparent and Wolf’s rapping has moved closer to spoken poetry, leaving nothing lost in a flurry of rapid-fire quips that the band used to rely on.

This style allows Wolf to make his point more concisely, but sacrifices

the surprise of an off-time punch line.

When other instruments make their cameos, they really shine.

“Mumps, etc.” will still leave you chuckling and pondering Wolf’s psyche, but with a slight nostalgia for the band’s quicker, nonchalant days.

RIYL: Dan Deacon, Themselves, The Front Bottoms

on his first few albums.

On his latest, “We Don’t Even Live Here,” that punk aesthetic is still present, just toned down.

Stefon Alexander’s flow is not particularly interesting, but he makes up for it with his passionate delivery. He often sounds angry while he’s rapping, especially on tracks like “Lockpicks, Knives, Bricks, and Bats.”

Despite this, the first few tracks

are pretty catchy, though. Justin Vernon’s feature on “How We Land” in particular makes for a pretty singable hook. The album does seem to drop off toward the middle, but overall there are some really cool tracks on this album.

OPINION

STAFF EDITORIAL

AU SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATED HURRICANE SANDY What could have turned into panic during Hurricane Sandy stayed calm, thanks to the AU administration.

AU’s hurricane preparation and response went above and beyond expectations. They laid out a series of steps for emergencies and provided services to accommodate students during the two-day shutdown.

First, the AU Alert system worked extremely well. It alerted students fairly early, and the emails fully explained which campus services were operating. Also, an email sent out by administration calmed students’ nerves on the northside construction and described the previous

measures taken to avoid problems in high winds.

Although the AU Alert did not come until 7 p.m. on Sunday night, it was sent early enough for students and faculty to prepare (discounting the grumblings of students looking for an excuse not to work on papers).

Food was not an issue for on campus residents because Terrace Dining Room and Tenley Café were able to stay open with adjusted hours.

Also, AU encountered a fire alarm Oct. 29. What could cause more panic than fire during a hurricane? But the AU administration facilitated the alarm well. The evacuation

its emails and emergency website. Students were given ways to contact management if something went wrong, tips on surviving a hurricane and timely reminders about which services stayed open. RAs

ing managed now, and for a midsize university, that’s fast. Both the leaks in the campus store and Wi-Fi outages in Leonard Hall were fixed, and the leaks in student dorms on Southside are under repair.

AU provided a vast amount of information in

were also a great help through posting necessary information on Facebook groups or going directly to students’ dorms.

Surprisingly, the response that needed improvement was not from administration, but from professors.

Some professors decided to hold classes online or send emails with assignments due during the hurricane. Instead of calling family or friends in more heavily affected areas, students had to focus on writing an additional paper.

Professors have a right to assign makeup work for a missed class, but they should not require work to be done during the storm. Asking students to get work done when power outages are frequent and the wind is blowing at 60 mph is unreasonable.

Not all professors are at fault. Some extended deadlines and sent out makeup work, understanding that it may not be able to be

past few weeks shows that many still do not take rape crimes seriously enough.

Almost two weeks ago, former Amherst student Angie Epifano wrote a piece for The Amherst Student recounting her experience with rape at Amherst University. According to Epifano, the campus’ sexual assault coordinator denied her request to switch dorms, told her pressing charges would be useless because her rapist was about to graduate and suggested she “forgive and forget” after she “made sure” it was rape and not a bad hookup.

The underlying issue here is not an overall ignorance toward rape but an

overall indifference to rape crimes. It’s easy to call out a senator who says something ridiculous, but when a college student seeks help after being raped, he/she is treated like a liar and not taken seriously.

News has also surfaced about how rape kits are routinely left untouched in America. A rape kit is the evidence taken at a hospital after one is raped. These kits often sit untested in police storage rooms for years, especially if the rape does not seem believable.

In Illinois, roughly 80 percent of rape kits remain untested, according to figures from Human Rights Watch. Many times, women or their health insurance

companies have to pay for these rape tests that get backlogged and ignored.

Some argue that there is a thin line when regarding rape, specifically date rape due to different interpretations of what consent is, and if consent is valid or even possible when someone is drunk. While I agree that regretting a consensual hookup or one night stand is not rape, treating anyone who comes to you for help as a liar is wrong. To know that colleges across the U.S. tell young women not to press charges and often suggest they take a leave is disgusting.

The fact that rape kits do not get tested, and that many hospitals deny rape

Surprisingly, the response that needed improvement was not from administration, but from professors.

Serious crimes deserve serious time JULIA GREENWALD | RANTING WITH MYSELF Rape has always been a controversial and sensitive topic, but lately rape has been in the public eye for both the right and wrong reasons.

The wrong reasons were sparked by insensitive and downright silly remarks by Missouri Rep. Todd Akin and Indiana Rep. Richard Mourdock. Akin claimed during his Senate campaign in Missouri that in cases of “legitimate rape,” women

of all Southside dorms to the Mary Graydon Center lasted only 15 minutes. AU cleared up the situation quickly and with ease.

All damage from Hurricane Sandy has either been taken care of or is be-

“shut that whole thing down” to prevent pregnancy. A few days ago, Mourdock said that pregnancies resulting from rape are “something God intended to happen.”

The outrage and debate these comments have sparked shows that rape is being taken more seriously by the American people.

Nevertheless, the rape “scandals” that have been circulating the media these

turned in immediately.

When it comes to developing a best practice for dealing with cancelled classes in storms, professors should consider that students may not be able to reach the Internet or have the ability to hand in work on time.

Based on conversations with various students, AU did a terrific job dealing with the hurricane. Although there are exceptions to every story, for the most part, AU deserves praise.

After two major storms, tornado warnings and an earthquake in just over a year, we can confidently say that AU knows how to handle a disaster. ≠ E kits to girls who were drunk when raped, is even more disgusting, if not scary. This means that serial rapists are often not identified and thus not convicted. They are free to roam the streets and know that they can get away with rape.

These policies are outrageous, and if we are going to pound on politicians who claim that legitimate rape cannot lead to pregnancy, then we should also pound down on society’s cavalier attitude toward rape crimes and fight for better policies, and in the long term, real public safety.

Bring TDR Kevin back

You may have noticed a change in Terrace Dining Room. Kevin Nelson, who often worked at the ice cream counter, has not been in lately.

Last week, Bon Appétit management fired Kevin for allegedly stealing food.

H o w e v e r, I discovered the true story according to Kevin’s legal representatives.

Kevin had been working all day and didn’t take his lunch break. He asked his supervisor if he could take some food at the end of his shift and his supervisor said OK. But when leaving work, management approached Kevin and searched his bag, finding the food that he had and claimed he had “stolen.”

Kevin is one of the most charismatic people many of us have met.

His positive energy often is a bright spot on many people’s days. Kevin is a fighter. He has been speaking up against management for the many abuses they have been committing in TDR, Eagle’s Nest, Tenley Café, Tavern and MGC market-

place and shared these grievances with students.

Over the past year, workers have been organizing in their union to fight against the cutbacks they have experienced at work. Many full-time workers have seen their

their families that would otherwise be thrown out, they are told they cannot.

There have been many improvements in TDR that have vastly increased the quality of the food. This has included more food prepared from scratch and food served in smaller por tions.

But there is one factor that has been missing from the equation: the workers.

Bon Appétit has not been treating workers with respect nor giving them the hours and training they need in order to produce quality food. As students, we have an obligation to stand with the Bon Appétit workers as they struggle for respect on the job. Students need to fight back alongside with Kevin and the workers who serve us every day. Until Kevin is hired again and steps are taken to alleviate the situation facing all Bon Appétit workers, we will not be silent.

hours cut from what is supposed to be a 40-houra-week position to 30 to 35 hours. At the same time, they are expected to work harder as Bon Appétit makes “improvements” without consulting those who are most affected.

After speaking with workers, the StudentWorker Alliance has found that these changes have caused stress at home by making it harder for many to be able to provide for their families and caused stress at work by increasing physical demands on individual workers.

Success is not what you think DEON JONES | THINK, TALK, ACT Two weeks ago, one of my friends posted on Facebook, “What do you tell a person who has done everything that they are ‘supposed’ to do and who worked their hardest but still can’t succeed?” Many people commented on it with words of encouragement. To sum it up, most people offered surface advice of being patient and keeping faith.

Growing up, I wanted to be a lot of things: a preacher, a truck driver, an actor, a singer and probably a lot more that I cannot remember. All I knew is that I wanted something greater than what I had in a struggling, single parent home.

For me, all those careers seemed to provide a very comfortable living with a lot of money.

However, I came to realize that my definition of success was becoming what I wanted: a lot of money to live comfortably and to take care of my mom.

But, in life, we don’t always become what we want. As Oprah says, “So much of wanting comes from living in the space of

what we don’t have.”

If we want to be successful, we cannot make success our goal. As students, we should strive to be significant and bigger than ourselves. I have found that significance comes in serving others.

As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. alluded to, we all cannot be famous, but we can all be great and greatness comes from serving others. You can serve as

dream than we can for ourselves. This God could be Buddha, Allah, an energy or other source of religious support. When you surrender your goals to something bigger than yourself, success is easier to reach. For me, that path led to God. I never imagined the life I have now, but I knew that life was something greater than what my struggling household showed me, what my neighborhood showed me, and what my school showed me. Now, I can only begin to think about what life has in store for me.

It is a difficult road to find your calling. However, once you have found it, life is so much greater.

When you find this calling, stay true to it and prepare yourself for the next best thing. That is the key to success.

AU battles back to earn draw with Colgate

By TYLER TOMEA EAGLE STAFF WRITER

Trailing Colgate late, the AU women’s soccer team fought back to earn a 2-2 draw Oct. 27 at Reeves Field.

Facing a 2-0 deficit, the Eagles received a boost from a pair of seniors competing in their final match at Reeves Field.

Michelle Montilio sent a pass to Carleigh Morba, who split two Colgate defenders and scored a breakaway goal in the 71st minute to slice the AU deficit in half.

“Michelle and I kind of connected on the goal that I scored,” Morba said. “We were just trying to get in behind the back line, and I tried to keep my composure in front of the goal. It was nice to get my first goal of the season.”

After showing little signs of life for the majority of the game, the goal rejuvenated the Eagles (6-9-3, 4-2-1 PL) and gave them the momentum they had been looking for.

“Once we got the first goal, we know we can get a second goal,” Montilio said.

“We have a good offense, [and] that helped us out.”

The second AU goal came 12 minutes after the first, when Sam Trotta’s strike hit the post, but teammate Lindsay Muri was there to knock in the rebound.

“Coming back from down two goals was great, and it shows that we can come back and tie and win games that way,” AU head coach Dave Bucciero said.

Neither team could score the go-ahead goal over the final seven minutes of regulation, or in ei-

ther of the two 10-minute overtime periods.

With Navy defeating Bucknell to clinch the top seed in the Patriot League Tournament, secondseeded Colgate (9-5-4, 4-12 PL) and third-seeded AU will meet Nov. 2 in the PL Semifinals.

“Obviously, Colgate is a prolific offense,” Bucciero said. “They’ve scored a lot of goals this year — they scored two goals today — so we’re going to have to be sharp. They’re a very talented group and we’re going to have to play really well to beat them, but we’re certainly capable of doing it and that’s what’s great.”

The Eagles came into the Colgate match on the heels of a rough 4-0 loss at Army, and looked to get back on track against the Raiders.

“It was really difficult

for us to get back from Army,” Morba said. “It was a tough game all around, and we discussed it during practice and we tried to put it behind us.”

After Kelsey Hough’s 19th-minute goal and Jillian Kinter’s 54th-minute score put Colgate in front 2-0, it looked like the Army match was unfolding all over again.

But this time the Eagles battled back, and will now try and defeat Colgate to secure a spot in the Patriot League Championship.

“We can’t just be happy being in the tournament,” Bucciero said. “You don’t know when you’re going to be back in the tournament again, so our goal is to win the Patriot League Tournament and that’s the first thing that we have to realize.”

The AU men’s crosscountry team raced to a third-place finish at the Patriot League Championships Oct. 27 in Hamilton, N.Y., led by a runner-up finish from Mark Allen. Ali Tyburski was the top finisher on the women’s side, which placed eighth in the event.

The men came into the championships with momentum, coming off a firstplace finish at the Leopard Invitational two weeks ago.

The team has consistently finished in the top two or top three in meets this season against stiff competition. At the PL Championships, AU looked to Allen to lead the team, and he didn’t disappoint. The senior placed second in a field of 76 runners, finishing with a time of 25:28.4. Colgate’s Christopher Johnson crossed the finish line first in 25:11.0 to repeat as champion.

Following Allen for the Eagles was Nick Regan (11th place) and Mark Leininger (13th).

Allen earned All-Patriot League First Team honors for the second straight season, while Regan and Leininger earned a spot on the All-Patriot League second team.

Other finishers for the Eagles included Constantine Matsakis (25th), John Pope (27th) and Tom Wo-

ermer (53rd). Ian Lutz rounded out the AU runners, finishing in 68th.

Lehigh was the surprise winner in the team competition, snapping Navy’s reign of four straight league titles.

The Mountain Hawks finished with 54 points on the afternoon, while the Midshipmen ended with 56.

Tyburski continued to lead the way for the AU women, placing 15th in a field of 72 runners in 23:36.1. Her performance was just one spot shy of being named to the All-Patriot League Second Team.

Julia Sullivan was the next Eagle to complete the course, coming in 28th, while Carly Birkhold was next, posting a 48th-place finish.

Other AU runners included Krystal Foster (56th), Kelseagh Budris (61st) and Olivia DiBiasio (64th).

Navy won the team title on the women’s side, recording 46 points to dominate the competition and earn its fourth PL championship in the past six seasons. Annie-Norah Beveridge led the way for the Midshipmen, finishing first in 21:45.4 for the individual crown.

Next up for the Eagles is the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Nov. 10 at Penn State.

Both the AU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams recorded victories over Howard in the Bender Splashdown Oct. 27 at the Reeves Aquatic Center. The day saw the Eagles break nine event records and earn victories in 23 of 32 events.

Dylan Rasnick had a

particularly strong afternoon, registering recordbreaking victories in the 200-yard butterfly and the 200 breaststroke. Both records had been set at the 2009 Bender Splashdown.

Rasnick also swam away from the competition in the 200 individual medley, defeating the runner up by almost three seconds.

Eagles edge Bucknell, rematch set for Patriot League Semifinals

By GENNARO FARONE EAGLE STAFF WRITER

Every aspect of the AU field hockey team’s 2-1 victory against Bucknell was close, except for one area.

The Eagles (9-9, 4-1 PL) made all the big plays in the key moments, with Gina Hofmann leading the way Oct. 27 at Jacobs Field.

With her team up 2-1,

AU goalkeeper Ashley Dalisera blocked a shot off a Bison penalty corner as time expired, seemingly sealing an Eagle victory. But after deliberation, Bucknell (9-9, 3-2 PL) received another penalty corner.

“We thought we had the game won,” AU head coach Steve Jennings said. “But whenever there’s a confer-

ence with the umpires, I always prepare for making sure we’re ready for a call to go against us so that we’re still in the game.”

Jennings’ defense, led by the senior Hofmann, kept their heads in the game and turned away the second Bucknell shot to emerge victorious and clinch the second seed in the Patriot League Tourna-

Hunter’s goal secures top seed for men’s soccer in PL Tournament

By TYLER TOMEA EAGLE STAFF WRITER

For the second straight year, the AU men’s soccer team has taken home the Patriot League regularseason title. Now, the Eagles have their sights set on a bigger crown.

Charlie Hunter’s 47thminute goal proved to be the difference in AU’s 1-0 road victory over Lehigh Oct. 27 and secured the top seed for the Eagles in the Patriot League Tournament starting Nov. 9.

The tournament will

be hosted at Reeves Field, where the Eagles are 6-1 on the season. AU’s only loss on its home turf came to George Mason in the D.C. College Cup Championship.

The Eagles were in the same position a year ago, when they finished first in the conference with a 5-2 record. But after defeating Navy in penalty kicks, Colgate ended AU’s season, 2-0, in the conference championship match.

AU has lost in the Patriot League Championship in each of the past three

seasons, but the Eagles are hoping this is the year they break through.

Following a scoreless first half in Bethlehem, Pa., AU’s Colin Seigfreid dribbled down the far side and found Charlie Hunter, who sent a shot past Lehigh goalkeeper Ciaran Nugent for the game’s only goal.

The assist was Seigfreid’s seventh, which leads the conference. Hunter now has two game-winning goals this season, as his 85th-minute score led the Eagles past Longwood in non-conference action

ment.

“A lot of nerves, a lot of nerves,” Hofmann said when asked what was going through her head on the final play. “But in the end, it’s just like we go over [in practice] … We kind of know what to expect.”

Hofmann set the tone early, netting the first score of the game 14 minutes into play. The first goal has been crucial for AU this season, as the Eagles are 7-2 when they score first and 2-7 when they have to chase a lead.

“Today we ended up in a position where they had to chase, and that’s always going to be a much better position to be in,” Jennings said. “We’ve been on that foot before too, and it’s hard to come from behind.”

Bucknell tied the game up in the 57th minute when Kiersten Sydnor received a pass from Kelly Stefanowicz and beat Dalisera.

After the Bison goal, AU looked lethargic for a stretch and in desperate need of a play. Carly Atchison and Shelly MontgomOct. 17.

Hunter’s goal was all AU goalkeeper Billy Knutsen needed, as the junior was on his game all match. Knutsen recorded a career-high 10 saves, and was named the BRINE Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week for the third consecutive week. Knutsen ranks second in the conference in saves, save percentage and goals against average.

The highlight of Knutsen’s strong play was denying Lehigh’s Brian Suchoski twice to keep the Mountain Hawks off the board. Knutsen made a diving stop on Suchoski’s shot just before halftime, and then saved another at-

ery delivered, as Atchison cut through the defense and delivered the ball right in front of the goal for Montgomery, who converted in the 50th minute to put the Eagles up 2-1.

“I think that was a really important part of the game for us,” Jennings said. “It was important for us to have the resilience to step up and show that we were still in the game.”

The Eagles and the Bison will now meet in the Patriot League Semifinals Nov. 2 in Easton, Pa. Both teams are evenly matched, with every statistical category from last week’s meeting almost identical.

But there are some numbers in AU’s favor.

The game is on a neutral field, where AU is 3-0 this season, and the Eagles are 18-5 all time against Bucknell. AU also has one of the league’s best scorers in Montgomery.

If this last meeting was any indication, then the semifinal matchup will be very competitive.

tempt in the 86th minute.

With first place secured, the Eagles will wrap up the regular season when they host Holy Cross Nov. 3.

The Crusaders were the last team to hand AU a regular-season loss, when they defeated the Eagles last November in Worcester, Mass.

The Eagles will be looking to pick up a victory against the Crusaders this time around and head into the tournament on a high note. Meanwhile, Holy Cross will be looking to secure one of the three available tournament spots that will be up for grabs on the final weekend of regularseason play.
