A storm of controversy disrupted a quiet summer for MU students when news of potential Greek Life regulations hit social media in early June. The Draconian proposals were leaked, and the Greek community, which accounts for almost 30 percent of MU students, rose up. An article about the proposals on Total Frat Move went viral, and two Twitter accounts popped up to voice disapproval of the proposed regulations that were created by the MU Fraternity Alumni Consortium. A draft of these proposals was obtained by The Maneater through an open records request and listed four measures: restricting women from fraternity houses on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights; mandatory drug testing for all members; banning out-of-town formals and socials; and only allowing beer in fraternity houses. The backlash was immediate, with many people zeroing in on the provision regarding women in fraternity houses. The proposals, entitled “Safety of Women in Fraternity Houses,” were drafted without input from current Greek Life members including Panhellenic Association executives, who have been working on their own sexual violence education program since January. “The women of the Panhellenic Association Executive Board and the Panhellenic chapter presidents deemed the very premise of the proposal problematic and found many of the policies to be ineffective and uneducated,” PHA said in a statement released June 5.

Minimum wage petitions circulate The petitions aim to put the issue of minium wage on the 2016 ballot. TESSA WEINBERG Reporter Three different initiative petitions have proposed raising Missouri’s minimum wage from $7.65 per hour to $11.00, $12.00 or $15.00 per hour. On June 2, Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander announced that

the petitions have been approved for circulation. The three petitions were submitted by Lara Granich, director of the nonprofit group Missouri Jobs with Justice, according to the Missouri Secretary of State’s website. The goal of all three is to raise the minimum wage, but each petition’s implementation plan differs slightly. Each of the petitions outlines a different minimum wage increase, starting with a wage increase to $9.00 an hour in 2017, and includes

Soil cause of The Domain’s structural damage Work on the damaged Building 8 was completed June 30 and cosmetic repairs will done in July. BRI CONSIDINE Reporter Since structural damage forced students out of their The Domain apartments in April and controversy arose over the Opus Group’s District Lofts building plans, concerns developed over Columbia’s building regulations.

Junior Ria Knapp, a former resident of The Domain who was moved to a hotel during construction, said she felt uneasy about the situation. “It makes me nervous seeing these complexes going up so fast,” Knapp said. She said she worries contractors might not be putting enough time into ensuring student housing is built correctly. The Domain’s foundation settling was caused by either inadequate soil testing or lack of compression. According to Terracon Consultants’ original geotechnical investigative report on the site, the soil foundation

consisted of a clay soil substance, with various amounts of sand, gravel and shale mixed in. The instability of this type of foundation can cause problems if not compressed properly, as was seen by the cracks in the walls of several apartments in Building 8. “This kind of soil presents swelling,” Columbia Building Regulations Supervisor John Simon said. “It’s certainly not uncommon to have foundation move with this kind of soil. I feel how they’re proceeding now should be adequate, if they’re hitting bedrock.” A report commissioned by SCI Engineering in November 2014 claimed

that Terracon tested the compression and soil prior to the construction of the housing complex. Early signs of distress in Building 8, the epicenter of the damage, were detected in mid-2013. To remedy this, an array of piers were installed underneath the building to help lift it up. In October 2013, Campus Advantage, an outside company that manages student housing across the country, bought The Domain. Campus Advantage spokesperson Mark Evans said they were not aware of the settling problems when

RSVP Center and The Maneater switch spaces over summer With increasing Title IX funding, the RSVP Center needed more space to accommodate their three new staff members. TESSA WEINBERG Reporter After the end of the Spring 2015 semester, The Maneater and the Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention Center switched places in the lower level of the Student Center, the first switch in the building since 2010. The switch took place to accommodate the RSVP Center's expansion as three

new staff members have been hired due to an increase in Title IX funds, Director of Student Life Mark Lucas said, who coordinated the switch. Funding was provided by the UM System with matching funds from the four campuses to expand Title IX. It was after much deliberation that he decided to ask the two organizations swap offices. The Maneater moved down the hall to room G210, and RSVP now occupies the more spacious room G216. The RSVP Center, which provides educational programs and services to students in an effort to decrease the prevalence of sexual violence on campus, will now have more space to expand

‘Zionism’ class canceled due to no enrollment KATIE POHLMAN Senior Staff Writer A proposed Honors College tutorial class entitled “Perspectives on Zionism,” which was greeted with criticism from students and the community, will no longer be offered in the fall 2015 semester. The course, proposed by George Smith, professor emeritus in biological science, was canceled due to lack of enrollment. Smith said he was unable to recruit during the enrollment period and believes that is why there was no interest in the class. “Professors have to work to recruit students to these courses,” Smith said. “Otherwise students would have to notice that (the class) was offered, and not many students do that.” Smith had planned on teaching students in his class about the philosophy and political ideology at the core of the Zionist movement, which arose in the 1900s in response to anti-Semitism. Part of the core beliefs of Zionism is that the natural homeland of the Jewish people is the current-day state of Israel, which was once

part of Palestine. Smith said the course would not have delved into the history of Israel as much as it would focus on the ideas of Zionism, but, he added, “You can’t separate the two.” Key documents about Zionism and its creation were to be examined as well as two books, one written by a pro-Zionist and one by an anti-Zionist. But the syllabus was not the reason this course was opposed by student and community groups. The class was also criticized because of Smith’s academic background and his personal beliefs. Smith said he is an anti-Zionist. MU senior Chantelle Moghadam, president and co-founder of Students Supporting Israel at MU, said the group was against the class because the motives behind it were questionable. The group started a letter-writing campaign to Honors College Director Nancy West in hopes of getting the class canceled. “Students Supporting Israel was against this class taking place at Mizzou because we were sure that ‘Perspectives on Zionism’ was simply going to be a front for Dr. George Smith to spew anti-Israel

propaganda,” Moghadam said in an email. Moghadam also cited how his degree and area of profession do not correlate with Smith teaching the course. “He is a biology professor who holds no degree in International Relations, Middle Eastern Studies or any other related subject,” she said. This had been examined by the Honors College’s curriculum committee, though, before they approved the course. The committee meets with professors who are proposing courses and asks them questions about the subject and their syllabus. After the meeting, the committee either approves or rejects the proposed course. “Although George Smith is a biologist by profession, he has been studying the Israel/Palestine conflict, and Zionism in general, intensely for a dozen years (and less intensely for a decade before that),” West wrote in an email conversation with Provost Garnett Stokes. “He is very familiar with the standard secondary sources in English, especially from Jewish sources and to a somewhat lesser extent from Arab sources.” Smith said the committee did question

his qualifications for teaching the class because of his activism, as well. “To his credit, Dr. Smith didn’t deny that activism can be seen as a disqualification,” West wrote to Stokes. “As he expressed it, teachers who use their power over students to proselytize for a particular political, religious or other viewpoint are abusing obvious standards of academic integrity. We are absolutely confident that Dr. Smith is not that sort of dishonest teacher.” Smith said he would have looked for diversity in students’ viewpoints to create more discussion and maybe even arguments between him and his students. “If I had recruited, I would have tried to recruit about the same number of students that were anti- and pro-Zionist, and it wouldn’t be a debate, but an intellectual study about the issues that currently form the concepts of the Zionist movement,” he said. “It would be useful to have people on both sides.” Smith said he might propose the class again for the fall 2016 semester. If he does, he would have to go through the application process again, including the meeting with the Honors College curriculum committee.

their summer to understanding each other’s experiences. Once that is completed, the sixmonth-old committee has an even bigger task: to introduce solutions for the campus climate in the fall. “We need to discover about one another: how (we have things in) common, and what we have that’s dissimilar,” said Berkley Hudson, the chairman of the committee. “We need to learn how to be excellent in that discovery, we need to learn how to be respectful of one another. We need to be responsible.” The committee was created in response to a Call for Action drafted by a coalition of student leaders in December 2014 who were concerned with race relations and the experience had by students of color on campus. The events in Ferguson, Missouri, prompted a series of dialogues throughout the 2014-15 year. Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin hosted two listening sessions where students were allowed to voice concerns in front of faculty and administration. The third forum was a presentation from administrators on how the administration handled students’ requests. “There’s still this skepticism on the part of the majority, whether there really is a problem,” he said. “Whether ‘those AfricanAmerican kids are overstating the problem, imagining racism or being too sensitive.’ And

there’s still the sentiment that we should just ‘get over it, that we should forget the past.’” Middleton said those attitudes existed at MU when he was a student, and they still exist now. “It’s a giant assumption that this committee can come up with something that will make progress, and even with that assumption, it’s very difficult to imagine how long it will take to make that progress, but we have to try,” he said. Nine faculty members, one staff representative and two students — one a graduate student, the other an undergraduate — make up the committee on race relations. Right now, they are “engaged in talk,” Hudson said. As for the demographics of the group, Faculty Council chairman Craig Roberts purposely made the committee predominantly white, and Roberts was unavailable for comment. “There’s 2,000-plus faculty members and 1,500 of them would identify as white,” Hudson said. “And in some ways, that’s who we’re trying to pay attention to: What is their belief system? What are their attitudes? What are their actions? And how do they connect with helping race relations? There’s the complicated issue that race is a social construction.” To Hudson’s knowledge, no other Faculty

Council committee has appointed students before. He said the student perspective was important. Middleton said he appreciates the fact that students are on the committee. “This committee was formed largely as a result of the first listening session the Chancellor had back in December, when students expressed their views and talked about their experiences,” he said. “It seems to me that this committee certainly needs to hear that student perspective.” Both students on the committee were unavailable for comment. The committee members who remained in Columbia for the summer have already met several times during the summer. Hudson said he has been contacted several times by students who have had problems they feel are not being addressed by the university. “I say, the provocative question is, if you want to be a leader in the SEC on the football field, on softball field, I would also say, why couldn’t you not be a leader in terms of teaching, service, research and economic development when it relates to race relations?” he said. “So let’s set an example.”

Six-month-old race relations committee preps for fall The committee was conceived in response to student leaders’ Call for Action regarding campus climate and race relations. ELIZABETH LOUTFI Editor-in-chief Deputy Chancellor and Professor at the MU School of Law Michael Middleton, who was an MU student in the ’60s, was one of the first black students to attend the MU School of Law. As a student, he helped establish the Legion of Black Collegians. Upon returning to MU to teach in 1985, he was surprised to see LBC still intact. When he returned to MU in 1985, he said he noted a larger population of students of color and more support provided by student groups. Aside from that, he said the campus climate is “exactly the same.” He also said he was surprised to see LBC still intact. Middleton is one of 12 people who sit on the Faculty Council’s committee on race relations, a group established to identify the nature of the problems related to race and ethnicity on campus. With just over a month before the fall semester, the committee has dedicated

Participants light candles in remembrance of earthquake victims in Nepal on May 1 at Speakers Circle.

Students successful in fundraising efforts to aid Nepal earthquake victims MU graduate Amy Wansing was in Nepal when in the earthquake and has raised more than $6,000 to aid relief efforts. OLIVIA WEINBERGER Reporter Nepalese students Saroj Dhital and Raghav Poudyal, along with other members of the MU Nepalese Student Association, have made progress in their efforts since last April to show their support for Nepal after a deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the country on April 25. They have raised about $8,000 so far, but they’re not finished yet. “We’re pretty happy with what we’ve done so far,” Poudyal said. “We’ve even got thank you notes from the victims who really appreciated getting food, medicine and shelter, too, in some cases. Part of our fund was also used to renovate a school that was lost during the earthquake, so the students were quite happy to get back to school.” They split their fundraising into two parts: The first part was to help provide immediate resources such as food and water, and the second part is to provide funds

to build long-term shelters. “Hopefully in the future we can get some more money to donate,” Dhital said. “As of right now, we’re all pretty satisfied with what we have.” The work they’ve done has not only affected those in Nepal, but also those who are participating in the fundraising. “It was really cool to see people from Japan, the United States and other countries help us with our fundraising efforts,” Poudyal said. “It sort of makes you feel like you’re part of a big family that is not really divided by borders of countries.” The Nepalese Student Association is taking a slight break from their fundraising over the summer as most of their group members have left campus for the summer. They will continue working toward their goal of raising $10,000 in the fall semester. The group also wasn’t the only ones who started fundraising after the earthquake. MU graduate Amy Wansing was in Nepal at the time of the disaster, and she said she raised more than $6,000 and has helped over 300 families in three districts. With the help of a friend she was traveling with and a local pharmacist, she made sure the necessary supplies arrived in small villages around Nepal that hadn’t seen any previous help from the military or other natural disaster relief organizations.

“Most of the contributions from foreign countries was located in the capital,” Wansing said. For this reason, she liked working with the smaller villages. “I think that (it is) really important to let them know that they’re cared about also,” Wansing said. “What we saw being most impactful were just individuals, both foreigners and locals working together who weren’t affiliated with anybody else.” Part of the reason they were so successful is because 93 percent of the donations they received went directly toward buying the supplies necessary to help, Wansing said. Their main goal was to spend the money they received right away and have no overhead, and they did just that. “I feel grateful I was there, as odd as that sounds,” Wansing said. After experiencing Nepal for herself, Wansing encourages others to see it for themselves. “It is just one of the kindest, most open-hearted places I’ve ever been to and I would love for other people to get to experience that,” Wansing said. “The beauty of the Himalayas is one of the most beautiful places in the world and I think it’s less known. Not as many people travel there. I just hope after my experience I can encourage other people to be able to experience the magic that I was able to there.”

addition, the petitions increase the employer portion of wages for employees who receive tips from 50 to 60 percent of the state minimum wage amount. All three petitions also increase the penalties to employers who do not pay their employees minimum wage. Before the petitions can be presented to voters on the ballot in the November 2016 elections, they must receive signatures totaling at least five percent of the total number of votes cast in the 2012 governor’s election and must be from at least six of the state’s eight congressional districts.

THE MANEATER | NEWS | JULY 8, 2015 estimated that both the state's expenses and tax revenues will increase by $489 million annually with a state and local government increase of an estimated $397 million annually, according to the petition. While Missouri’s minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, Missouri has the 27th lowest minimum wage out of the 29 states, including the District of Columbia, that have a minimum wage higher than the federal level. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Missouri’s minimum wage increased every year since 2012. With more states such as California, Oregon and Washington raising their minimum wage to match today’s cost of living, some people in Missouri, such as Shane Cohn, alderman of the 25th Ward in St. Louis, are fighting to raise

the minimum wage on a local level. In addition to efforts at the state level, Cohn is sponsoring a bill to eventually raise the minimum wage in St. Louis to $15.00 per hour. The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry opposes the petition efforts aimed at raising the minimum wage. Brian Bunten, general counsel and director of Legislative Affairs for the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said an increase in the minimum wage would drive business away from Missouri to its neighboring states. “We compete against those states each and every day to not only attract business, but to retain our current businesses as well,” Bunten said. “It’s not hard to imagine a scenario where a business decides to open up shop on the Kansas side of the border where labor costs would be lower

in a few years if one of these initiative petitions becomes law. That means less opportunity for Missouri businesses and workers.” Of the eight states that border Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Kentucky have minimum wages that match the stipulated federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, while the remaining states all have minimum wages at $8.00 per hour or higher. Nebraska has a minimum wage of $8.00 per hour, Illinois $8.25 per hour and Arkansas is at $8.50 per hour. According to a report conducted in April by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 48.2 percent of the 3 million hourly U.S. workers who were at or below the federal minimum in 2014 were ages 16 to 24. This includes MU sophomore Steven Braun, whose primary source of income is earned working for minimum wage as a lifeguard.

“I would be completely in favor of raising the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour eventually,” Braun said. However, Bunten claims that students such as Braun will be negatively affected by raising the minimum wage as they will find it harder to gain work experience. “The inconvenient truth is that (the petition’s) short-term benefit is mortgaged on the backs of future generations of entry-level, low-skilled workers, most of which are young people without families to support, who may not have the same job opportunities as those today,” Bunten said in an email. While the benefits and drawbacks of the proposed initiatives will be debated leading up to the 2016 elections, the completed petitions are due to Kander’s office no later than 5 p.m. May 8, 2016, to make it on the ballot.

since he was a preschooler and continuing through high school. As soon as he got on campus his freshman year, he did his best to get involved with the sport, finding a manager position on Mizzou coach Bryan Blitz’s team. “He came into the program a very shy high school kid and grew into a great young man,” Blitz said. “He was more concerned about helping them be successful than about his own success.” The summer after his freshman year, Dell interned with Real Salt Lake, a professional soccer club in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was there he

met Tim Ryder, general manager for the U.S. Soccer Federation, and a year later, he landed a spot as an equipment manager for a youth camp in Florida. “There’s a lot more hype around the World Cup,” Dell said. “There’s always a lot more visibility, just with fans and all that travelling up here. It’s such a big event and the world is always watching. You try to minimize it because at the end of the day, it’s just a soccer game. It’s just like any other game we play as a team. Everyday is just another training session. You try to get into that kind of mindset.

It’s the same, but at the same time it’s different. It’s special.” Being able to be there for the USWNT game against New Zealand in Busch Stadium is a memory that stands out most to Dell, a St. Louis native and Cardinals fan. With friends and family, along with the Mizzou soccer team, in the stands, Dell said the largest USWNT game on U.S. soil was “just a really special moment.” Blitz has worked with Dell the past four years and has seen him grow into the person he is today. “He’s successful because he puts

everybody he works with first,” he said. “He wants to help them succeed. That’s his best quality “ Graduating this December, Dell plans on returning to the Tigers for a fifth season. He said he learned to be proactive when it came to his goals, which is what helped him get to where he is today. “Opportunities come up everywhere,” Dell said. “Especially when you least expect it. I think people should go out and chase what they want. I hope people are proactive. Things don’t just come to you. Things don’t just land on your lap. You have to work for them.”

Now working on expanding their operations with the larger space, the RSVP Center plans to house all of their staff as well as their student groups and organizations in the same

property owners to construct buildings, they must fill out a permit application, submit building plans and undergo numero u s ins p e c t ions . Following these regulations, Simon said Columbia has not had a lot of problems with buildings, especially not to the extent the Domain has seen. Simon said the city does not provide contractors. Property owners hire their own. Since learning about the extent of the settling in Building 8, Campus Advantage requested a geotechnical investigation from SCI Engineering in November and has complied with their

suggestions on how to proceed. Two different kinds of push piers and helical anchors were drilled into the foundation of Building 8 until they reached bedrock — about 40 feet deep — along with an engineered fill, a sort of concrete substance, in the soil. The intent is to push the building up and stabilize the underlying soil. Simon requested that a third-party inspector monitor the construction regularly for safety. The city is in the process of updating to the 2015 Building Codes, which will feature provisions concerning certain

regulations. Simon said the city has also been working with the public to improve energy efficiency and infrastructure. Citizens voted recently on a tax increase to help improve the city’s infrastructure, storm sewage and electricity. Simon wouldn’t comment on specifics of the revisions as they are still being discussed. “It’ll be a learning process for us all,” Simon said. “I think it’s good we’re getting a lot of citizen input.” The revisions will be out later this year. Despite the experience with The Domain, Knapp

said she appreciates the accommodations Campus Advantage provided during the construction. However, she does have one complaint. “I feel like we should’ve been told at least a couple of months in advance,” Knapp said. Although she will not be living there next year, she said it is not because of all that has happened. Construction on Building 8 was completed June 30 and cosmetic repairs are expected to be done by the end of July.

location. “Educational programming, group meetings, advocacy meetings and prevention activities will all be held in the new RSVP Center comfortably and more privately than in our previous location,” RSVP Center Coordinator Danica Wolf said. Due to the confidential nature of the work that the RSVP Center often conducts, Lucas made sure the RSVP Center would be able to stay in the same office suite as they grow, rather than be spread throughout campus. “I took the approach that I wanted to put The Maneater in a position where they could remain successful, enhance

their operations, and I used the same approach with RSVP,” Lucas said. “There were only so many moves I could make, and I think this is one I’m OK with.” Although in a smaller location than their previous office, The Maneater adviser Becky Diehl said she looks forward to the new space being more visible and inviting to those who walk by. The Maneater began their transition into the new space at the end of the semester and finished before Summer Welcome sessions for incoming students began in June. They are still waiting on a few more pieces of furniture to complete the move. “It has been great to show

our new office space to all the new freshmen and parents during Summer Welcome,” Diehl said. “Right now we are excited to start the new year off in our new space.” The RSVP Center hopes to be fully settled in before classes start in August. Lucas said this is the first office switch to take place inside the Student Center, which opened in 2010. However, this isn’t the first time that office changes have been made for either organization on campus. In the 23 years that Diehl has worked at the paper, The Maneater has moved five times. “The moves have been easy but expensive for both,” Lucas

said. There is no final total on the cost of the move for the two offices as purchasing furniture and painting still needs to be completed. He said the switch would have ideally been a “win-win” situation, but instead turned out to be a “win-acceptable” situation. Still, he is confident the switch will work in favor of both organizations. “I don’t think it’s a better situation for The Maneater, but having been down there just a few days ago, it’s actually pretty nice and I think it’s going to be just fine for them,” Lucas said.

Pi Kappa Phi member Ryan Winn shakes hands with MU student Sean Murphy during the Interfraternity Council formal recruitment in the MU Student Center in late June 2012. More than 500 men found a new home at IFC Formal Recruitment this year.

IFC tweaks formal recruitment process Shortening the second day from 11 houses to eight brought mixed reviews. BRYANNA LEACH Reporter Interfraternity Council Formal Recruitment drew about 525 men to the MU campus from June 26 to 28. This year’s recruitment was similar to previous events, but a change in the schedule on the second day allowed the potential members to spend more time with the chapters. The men visited eight houses on day two instead of 11 as in years past. Office of Greek Life recruitment coordinator Kathleen Duffy said the change was made due to timing issues. “(Potential members) still have a lot of options,” Duffy said. “It isn’t a final be-all end-all of recruitment,

so it gave people time to really spend some meaningful time with the chapters that they were visiting and have good conversations.” Potential members visited all of the houses on the first day of recruitment and narrowed it down to four houses on the third and final day. Although the three-day event was overwhelming for some potential members, others felt it was just enough time. Freshman Rahil Patel, of the Chicago area, participated in IFC recruitment this year and agreed visiting eight houses rather than 11 was beneficial. "You still have a bunch of options and are able to have enough time through the day where you spend a good amount of time with the guys and don’t have to cut it short and walk a lot," Patel said. He also found that three days was sufficient time. “It’s just so much thrown at you, you

wouldn’t want more,” Patel said. “It’s so tiring, but I wouldn’t change anything about it. It worked out well for me.” Incoming freshman Gage Barber said he wasn’t entirely content with the process. “I wish it would have been a bit longer, that way we can get to know the fraternities better the first day,” Barber said. Barber hoped to find close friends for college as well as an academic environment, and he said he felt that he did with the fraternity he joined, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. “(I decided to rush) mainly for the brotherhood that comes with fraternities,” Barber said. “I wanted to make lifelong friends, and guys in fraternities tend to have better academic achievement, and grades are a big deal for me. They are definitely the type of guys that I can see myself bonding with really well and the atmosphere at the

house is definitely one that encourages academic success.” Patel decided to join a fraternity in part because of the volunteer work encouraged by different houses. “Our campus is huge with Greek Life and doing charity work,” Patel said. “It all pays back with the satisfaction you get from doing it all. It’s just giving back to the community. It's great to give back to those that deserve it the most.” Duffy was pleased with how the weekend turned out. “IFC Formal Recruitment went well this year,” Duffy said. “We had a lot of excited men on Sunday afternoon who received bids from chapters or invitations to continue to informal recruitment. I’m looking forward to welcoming new members into the Greek community here at Mizzou.”

E-Flo leaves lasting impression at MU A full timeline of Floyd’s tenure at MU and coverage of the event in his honor can be found online. ELIZABETH LOUTFI Editor-in-Chief MU lost one of its own, former UM System President Elson S. Floyd, on June 20. He served from 2003-07 as the 10th UM System president. I attended a celebration of his life five days later, and I learned a little about him. First of all, I learned it was The Maneater, in fact, that gave him his nickname “E-Flo,” that was popular among students. In 2003, the Editorial Board first used the name in a satirical piece in their April 1 issue in which it was suggested that E-Flo was the son of God. E-Flo was loved and appreciated by many. A dry eye was rare in Reynolds Alumni Center at his service. It was clear the impression he left at this university will never be forgotten. “I constantly supported him, because he was the best person we’ve ever had,” said Eddie Adelstein, who currently serves as chief of pathology at the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans’ Hospital. “He was the first person that actually came here that was well-equipped to lead a university.” Stephen Montgomery-Smith, a mathematics professor for the past 26 years at MU, said he never met E-Flo, but that those who worked with him spoke highly of him. “I think he really listened to people’s concerns,” he said. “I think he was a loss when he left actually.” Friends, family and former colleagues

of E-Flo shared their own personal anecdotes and legendary tales of his kindness and generosity to students — once, he gave the boots off his feet to a student struggling through the snow. Jerry Hitzhusen, the associate professor with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, told a story about how he tried to teach E-Flo how to hit a golfball and said he was “not a golfer.” Personal stories aside, E-Flo also did a lot for MU. He kept tuition affordable

for students during a time of low state funding and helped increase the total enrollment and minority enrollment on all four UM System campuses. He hired Brady Deaton as chancellor at MU, encouraged adding the sexual orientation clause to be included in the UM System non-discrimination policy and fought for private funding for the university. He intended to include Northwest Missouri State in the UM System and said “he would investigate the possibility

of consolidating the MU campus administrative roles and those in the UM system,” according to a Maneater article in 2003. Those never came to fruition, but the sentiment was there. E-Flo left MU to become president of Washington State University in 2006, which was the position he held at the time of his death. A full timeline of E-Flo’s tenure at MU and coverage of his memorial service can be found online. E-Flo will be missed.

Not consulting students was the Consortium’s and administrators’ fatal flaw While the summit has potential, mistakes need to be addressed in order to be considered the ‘national model.’

just didn’t want to stand by their proposals in the wake of criticism, or that they underestimated the impact their proposals would have on students. Furthermore, a flyer advertising the summit was circulated on social media, which said the summit was to "create strategies for the implementation of the policies." If this truly was the Consortium’s original plan on how to initiate a discussion with students on this issue, it sure was a shoddy one. Students shouldn't be consulted on how to implement policies they didn't have a hand in conceiving, and what’s more, women shouldn’t be left out of a process to create policies designed to protect women from sexual assault. It’s self-evident that no group understands what it is like as a woman in Greek Life better than the women who participate in Greek Life. Scroggs and Missouri Students Association President Payton Head have both said the summit has the potential to become a national model. While we absolutely agree with them that, there are still issues with the transparency and inclusivity of the summit that must be addressed. The silence from campus administrators throughout this whole series of events must be corrected. It's not sufficient to just make officials available for comments after the summit. We would have liked to see statements from Scroggs, Loftin and others leading up to the summit. We would have liked to see more than live tweets on the summit. We would have liked to see media allowed in the room. Looking forward, we hope that Stotler Lounge’s glass doors are unobscured and press are allowed to attend. Sexual assault is an issue affecting everyone who walks through this campus. The summit, while originally and primarily intended to be about the safety of women in fraternity houses, has evolved into a much larger discussion about an even larger issue. Naturally, it only makes sense that the national model for productive discussion and brainstorming should not be restricted to the Greek community. All the stakeholders in this issue have a right to participate in this discussion.

A surge of optimism burst from Stotler Lounge on June 20 following the Chancellor’s Summit on Sexual Assault. More than 250 students, faculty, administration and alumni gathered to work toward policy solutions for combatting sexual violence. At the post-summit press conference, we were relieved to hear Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs say, “It's going to take all of us to deal with (the problem of sexual violence)” — an approach contrary to the ugly series of events that unfolded before the landmark summit. While we are glad to see student and administrative participation in a cooperative effort toward creating policies combating sexual violence, we implore our administrative leadership to learn from the comedy of errors that brought us to this point. Other universities will only look at us as, in Scroggs words, a national model for pragmatically discussing this issue if all the stakeholders have a definitive seat at the table. This means the next event of this kind should be held during a time where most students are actually on-campus (not in June!), with participation of all the stakeholders in the issue of sexual assault and without black curtains blocking people out. But how did we get here? Where did the mistakes begin? It all began with the leak of information on social media about the Fraternity Alumni Consortium’s four new proposals titled “The Safety of Women Students in Fraternity Houses,” which was intended to make Greek Life safer and curb sexual assault — proposals that were conceived without the participation of students or women. The ensuing outrage over the proposals culminated in an avalanche of social media posts from students who felt disenchanted over not having been consulted in any form by the Consortium. The leaked proposals even inspired the creation of not one, but two student-run Twitter accounts in

opposition to the regulations. MU students should not have been caught off-guard by these leaked proposed regulations, especially given the scope and magnitude of the proposals themselves. They should have been invited to participate in this process from the very beginning. The decision to begin drafting possible regulations without the participation of student leadership has numerous negative implications, the first of which being the presumption that sexual assault and violence is an issue exclusive to Greek Life. Of the 290 reports of sex discrimination during the 2014-15 school year at MU, 111 involved participants in Greek Life. It should go without saying that sexual assault is a problem affecting our campus as a whole, not just our Greek community. Furthermore, the decision to not consult the student leadership also implied that Greek Life isn’t already making similar efforts to combat sexual violence, which couldn’t be further from the truth. On June 15 the Panhellenic Association announced their sexual violence education plan — a plan that has been in the works since January. Last fall, the Interfraternity Council began educating members to become peer educators in sexual assault prevention, masculinity, gender roles and other issues. This isn’t to mention the numerous other programs and resources utilized by students that exist for sexual assault survivors, such as the RSVP Center and the Title IX Office. The student leadership in Greek Life, as well as in various organizations around campus, are without a doubt eager to sit down and discuss this issue. The energy and enthusiasm of the limited amount of students allowed to attend the summit are evidence of this. After all, PHA President Allison Fitts said after the summit that the intent of their response letter to Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin was to ensure they got a seat at the table. Five days after the news of the proposals hit social media, the almost Orwellian mandatory drug testing for all Greek students was scrapped by the Consortium itself. This move implied that either the Consortium

The kaleidoscope view

The topic of Diversity Education at Summer Welcome KENNEDY JONES

Summer Welcome comes with a host of emotions — the nerves of an incoming freshman are high and the excitement is even higher. Going into Summer Welcome, I was informed by students who had attended before me, as well as upperclassmen, that diversity was a highly-covered subject. At first, this information was off-putting. For some reason, the prospect of a large talk about diversity was unnerving. It’s almost like sitting in your history class when the subject of slavery comes up. I could already feel the eyes of other students staring at me as they discussed the topics of inclusion and judgement. Long story short, I was wrong. The topic of diversity was mentioned during multiple parts of the day in a way that made the subject less awkward than I had imagined. Throughout the day, Summer Welcome leaders explained resources available to multicultural students and parents, such as the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center and the Multicultural Center, as well as the different events they put on and the various

organizations that stem from them. What really piqued my interest was the diversity video presented to us. In the video, diversity was discussed by Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, who told us about the Equity Office, which is available to students who are dealing with situations in which they are made to feel uncomfortable by student peers. Even more importantly, he advised us that we will probably feel uncomfortable and that is how we will grow. At some points it seemed that the rumors about racially insensitive people would be true, especially in the diversity video when Tiffany Melecio, recipient of the Multicultural Leadership Award, told the story of how a truck full of Caucasian men drove by her screaming “Welcome to America” ironically as she walked through campus on her way to receive her award. With so many students from small towns in rural Midwest areas, I could only imagine to how many the topic of diversity would be new. Almost all of us attending my Summer Welcome session were from large cities including Chicago, Atlanta and myself from Las Vegas. One of the friends I recently made looked at me while I was coming back from a group of other black students and told me, “I don’t want to be offensive, but

this is the most black girls I’ve seen in my life. My town in Minnesota doesn’t have a lot of blacks.” I turned and took a quick survey of the room and counted a total of five black girls in the room. And the number of black guys only increased our number by a handful. It was off-putting to us as minority students that all of these people hadn’t seen many black people to the point where the sight of more than 10 was a shock. Obviously it’s a learning experience for all of us attending Summer Welcome. But it occurred to me that it is not only the responsibility of students who aren’t a member of a racial minority to accept and strive to understand diverse students, but it is also our responsibility as diverse students to and teach other students about us and our cultures. Ignorance is not bliss and it’s not someone else's fault when they are too ignorant to understand you. College is for education, and it is our job to educate those who are ignorant about diversity. So,as the diversity video said, "Inclusion is simply being respectful of others, and that is everyone's responsibility at Mizzou."

A song of politics

Hamilton should remain on the $10 bill JESSICA SONG

has always been controversial, both during his presidency and in the present day. One of Jackson’s more infamous actions was his extensive use of the spoils system, which awarded government jobs his supporters, friends and relatives. The incompetency of those appointed led to scandals and embezzlement, and it marked the beginning of early political corruption. Another one of Jackson's leading objectives as president was passing the Indian Removal Act. The legislation allowed the U.S. to uproot thousands of American Indians from their settlements, which led to the Trail of Tears. Approximately 4,000 Native Americans perished on the trail as a result of disease and starvation. What’s more, he refused to enforce the Supreme Court decision ruling disallowing the removal of the Cherokee from their ancestral land, stating "Mr. Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it!" Recent developments in the Civil Rights Movement have led many businesses to stop using of the Confederate flag due to its implications regarding slavery. While Hamilton was an avid abolitionist, Jackson was a planter and slave owner. Racial issues have been prevalent in recent months in

cases dealing with police brutality and hate crimes. While many of the men adorning our currency were slave-owners, it’s worth remembering that Jackson was far more entrenched in the institution of slavery. In fact, Jackson owed the vast majority of his wealth and power to it. What's more, Jackson supported the institution of slavery itself, while others such as Jefferson and Washington deplored it and argued for gradual abolition. It seems that removing an abolitionist on one bill and leaving a slave supporter on another seems in bad taste. The new bill will be revealed in 2020, the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which officially gave women the right to vote. The main reason why Hamilton is getting the boot is because the $10 bill is up next for redesign. Understandably, the process for revising currency is an arduous process. However, instead of sticking to mechanized schedules, I believe that such a decision should reflect our country's values. Hamilton created the economy we know today. It would be tragically ironic that the man who founded the U.S. Treasury would one day be rejected by it.

For the first time in our history as a nation, we will have a women printed on our currency. June 17 marked a historic day for women as United States Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that Alexander Hamilton would no longer be the face of the $10 bill. Hamilton was first featured on the bill in 1929, replacing Andrew Jackson, who was then moved to the $20 bill. As a strong advocate for women's rights, I am pleased with this monumental change. However, the treasury must reevaluate their decision in the context of American history and question why the man who minted the U.S. dollar is inferior to the man who launched our nation into an economic depression. The U.S treasury ought to consider that Alexander Hamilton is without a doubt a far more redeemable historical figure than Andrew Jackson. During George Washington's presidency, Hamilton acted as his lead economic adviser. After serving as the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton established a national bank and established friendly trade relations with both Britain and France. He also persuaded Congress to

hold the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 with the purpose of establishing a replacement to the Articles of Confederation. Hamilton is not often given credit for conceiving the basis of American capitalism as a whole. He singlehandedly saved the U.S. from financial crisis during its fledgling years by establishing a plan to pay off the postwar debts of every individual state. The visionary economic ideals of Hamilton culminated in the foundation of modern American commerce, with his aggressive support for manufacturing, banking and strong public credit all strongly developed today. Hamilton's life can be interpreted as the framework of the American Dream. Growing up as an orphan in the Caribbean, Hamilton worked his way toward an education in the U.S. and later served as aide-de-camp to George Washington. Immigrants come to the U.S. in pursuit of what we call the American Dream — the idea that anyone can achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination and initiative. Hamilton is this idea incarnate, not to mention his reputation as being popular with the ladies. Andrew Jackson, on the other hand,

Taking Back Speech

Freedom of speech must be treated as a right, not a privilege While the idea of public consideration is respectable, censoring reality is not the way to create social empathy. MICA SOELLNER

This year marked the 26th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989 in Beijing, China. During the protests, university students took it upon themselves to call for democratic reform from the Chinese Communist Party. Following the death of Hu Yaobang, general secretary and chairman of the CCP, thousands of students gathered onto the pavement of Tiananmen Square demanding “mass democracy.” A government warning was issued to settle the crowds, which only continued to grow exponentially following Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s visit to the square. Upset with the public’s continuous efforts of protest, government tanks and armed troops marched to Tiananmer

Square, opening fire on anyone who got in the way. Many protesters voluntarily left the site by the morning of June 4 to avoid physical confrontation, but a series of shootings and other repercussions continued to take place. Moving steadily into other Chinese cities that participated in the protest, the military had forcibly gained full control of its citizens by June 5, 1989. Protestors were added to “China’s Most Wanted” list and thousands were arrested. Some were even executed. Criticized by other foreign nations, the incident of 1989 was quickly labeled a “massacre.” This year, to honor the historical date, a series of virtual sympathies flooded the Internet over the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Protests during the days of June 3 and 4, only to be shielded and quickly taken down by the Chinese government. Any content seen as unsuitable for the public is censored. Chinese censorship controls every aspect of public contact from media, publishing and instant messaging. Where is the line drawn between withholding information and erasing history? The issue of prohibited speech was brought to attention earlier this year in

January with the imprisonment of Saudi writer and activist Raif Badawi. Badawi was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and 1,000 lashes for his blog “Free Saudi Liberals,” advocating free speech and discussions of religion in Saudi Arabia. Freedom of speech is highly regarded in the social structure of the U.S., built on the ideas of free speech, religion and the press. Any citizen of the U.S. has the right to free speech ingrained in their citizenship, but the validity of speaking out is being diluted by the ongoing obsession with being “politically correct.” However, the whole concept is being used in many places to institute surreptitious censorship to fit a particular agenda, just as is the case in China. Contemporary education has watered down history and literature for the purpose of preventing polemic disturbances. Recently the Washington Post reported that millions of schoolchildren in the U.S. will be learning about American history utilizing a social studies textbook that states the cause of the Civil War as Northern aggression against Southern states’ rights and never mentions the Ku Klux Klan or Jim Crow — an action

eerily similar to the censorship actions taken by the Chinese Communist Party. Both these example are emblematic of institutions attempting to alter history to fit their own agendas. A clear battle between “should not” versus “cannot” comes to the point of having the basic knowledge of being civil without prohibiting language. Even the media, an independent institution, continuously shields photographs that may be considered too graphic for the public. The idea of public consideration is respectable, but censoring reality is not the way to create social empathy. Although “political correctness” is an idea often associated with leftist ideology, it is not necessarily a party issue. Rather, it’s an society’s subconscious authoritarian response to what may cause discomfort to the public. Allowing an excessive amount of political correctness in our society can result in an almost Orwellian culture where citizens are afraid to speak their mind. Allowing the PC principle to continue in the 21st century can only create a nation perpetually afraid of being berated for being politically incorrect.

Greek Crackdown: It was a busy 20 days for members of the MU Greek community. Recap the events leading up the first-ever summit on campus sexual assault and for administrators plan to move forward.

The consortium’s proposals, which are directed at Greek Life, are not the only steps taken to reduce sexual assault during Loftin’s time at MU, but they would be the most radical. Following the leak of information about new proposals intended to make Greek Life safer and curb sexual assault, many members of the Greek community felt targeted. MU spokesman Christian Basi defended Loftin, saying the proposals were “tailored” to the Greek community by the consortium. "We have been (addressing sexual assault) for many

years and have increased our efforts just in the past 18 months across the entire campus,” Basi said. "You can look at policies that have been instituted through the collective rules and regulations that were recently put in place last fall. … The police continue to work to make sure that the campus remains safe; we have been doing a lot in the recent past as well." The proposed policies would be another set of changes aimed at increasing student safety since Loftin came to MU in February 2014. - Executive Order No. 40, which UM System President Tim Wolfe signed in April 2014, made all university employees except health care workers and counselors mandated reporters of sexual violence. - The university announced Ellen Eardley as the first full-time Title IX coordinator in February

Chancellor hosts summit on campus sexual assault For five hours, more than 250 students, faculty, administrators and alumni gathered in Stotler Lounge for the first-ever Chancellor’s Summit on Sexual Assault. While campus leaders said the summit was a step in the right direction, it ended with no concrete plans on how to address campus sexual assault. “In short order, our staff will review the input that was received and will develop a draft plan that will be shared with the stakeholders who were present at the summit and others who could not be there,” Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin said in a statement after the summit. “This conversation and process will continue into the fall, and I’m excited about the direction in which we are headed.” Loftin was unable to attend the summit due to flight delays. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs said hosting more meetings such as the summit would be “a tremendous action step” that they will probably be taking. “I think this could be a national model,” she said. “Within a year, they’re going to be saying ‘Let’s do things like the University of Missouri.’ That’s our goal. We intend to be the national model.” In a recap PHA’s vice president of public relations Carolyn Welter wrote that the event was productive and “reinforced the need for collaboration with students, faculty, administration, advisors and alumni.” Moving forward, the Office of Greek Life and the Title IX Office will work together “to develop an action plan based on the discussions during the summit,” Welter wrote.

PHA and Greek Life provided information about the invite-only summit via Twitter. The glass doors of Stotler Lounge, where the summit was held, were outfitted in long black curtains, screening the attendees from view. The University of Virginia Dean of Students Allen Groves was invited to moderate the summit, as per an invitation from Scroggs. “My role was to come in and help ... facilitate a good conversation so that all the voices in the room got heard,” Groves said. “We are trying to elicit all possible viewpoints.” He said the summit’s objectives were to provide a voice, especially for students; to construct some short-term goals to achieve; and create framework for longer-term objectives. Scroggs said the majority of people in the room were students who vocalized their opinions on the Consortium’s proposals. “These were very, very early proposals,” she said. “And they were that. They were proposals. They were ideas and nobody had gutted them to the degree that they needed to be gutted.” Consortium spokesman Ted Hellman said they were happy to be at MU to have this conversation. “I think something we took from today was definitely increase education for all of our members,” IFC President Jason Blincow said. “And beyond the leadership, it’s more of the regular members that don’t get to see stuff like the summit or go through some of the trainings that we do.” In late April, PHA penned a letter to Loftin voicing concerns about two of the policies and the consortium’s failing to consult women when drafting them, and providing insight on prevention of sexual assault at MU. A couple days before the summit, PHA announced

2015. Title IX coordinator became a full-time position following an ESPN report on the mishandling of the Sasha Menu Courey case. - Students will be expected to complete online “Not Anymore” training on relationship and sexual violence starting this fall. The training provides bystander intervention education. “It shows students how to actively be part of the effort to prevent sexual assault,” Eardley said in an email. - In the last year, student-led initiative Enough is Enough and adopted the national campaign It’s on Us, aimed to educate students and reduce sexual assault on campus.

Discussion on campus sexual assault focuses on Greek community

PHA’s new sexual violence education plan to start in fall The PHA initiative was developed in coordination with the RSVP Center and Title IX Office. PHA announced their sexual violence education plan in the week before the June 20 Chancellor’s Summit to discuss proposed Greek Life regulations. The plan, which PHA Vice President of Risk Management Kendall Foley said the association has been developing since January, calls for new education and training programs for sororities. Foley said input from the Greek community started rolling in during early April and the plan took off from there. PHA worked with the Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention Center and the Title IX Office on the initiative, according to a statement written by Foley released June 15.

In the end, the proposals will most likely not come to fruition, Greek Life executives have indicated. However, the focus on curbing sexual assault on campus and in fraternity houses remains.

“The PHA board recognizes that it is unrealistic and ineffective to treat the issue of sexual violence as if it affects all of our members in the same way,” Foley wrote in the news release. “We have tailored the education plan to address members throughout all phases of their time in college and different types of members within the sorority chapter.” The plan creates mandatory guidelines for educating and training new members, chapter leaders and other chapter members on sexual violence. The news release called previous education programs “surface-level.” New members of sororities will be required to attend an education session facilitated by peer educators, a group of about 10 members from each pledge class who will undergo training on educating their classmates. "The reason that we didn't want to have (a one-sizefits-all plan) is because you're in college for four years,” Foley said in an interview. “We see a lot of development and change in our members in those four years, and they need different things from the beginning to the end. It's just more effective to treat them differently when they're younger than when they're older. If you treat them all the same, you're not getting through to them as well as you could be if you develop plans that follow them throughout their time.” Foley said these differences explain why the plan has guidelines specifically for new members. “When new members come to college, they're kind of thrown in the party scene and they don't really know what's going on, and especially (they do not) know the different definitions of types of sexual violence. Things could happen to them and they could not really know what's going on," Foley said.

Chapter leaders will be trained in responding to sexual violence in their chapters through a summit and a resource manual. Chapter members will be required to attend an educational session developed by PHA, the RSVP Center and the Title IX Office annually. These will be on a four-year loop to reduce the chance that any one member sees the same presentation twice. Chapter members will also be offered further support training. "I think education is probably the most important factor,” Foley said. “When it comes down to it, most of what's happening in the community in terms of sexual violence has had to do with people who are not educated — men and women. When people don't know the definition of sexual assault and rape, and people don't know what they're doing and what's happened to them, there's no way we can report it accurately and there's no way we can help people who have been victims." The plan was touched on several times at the Chancellor’s Summit. The new guidelines will go into effect regardless of the outcome of the Fraternity Alumni Consortium’s proposed fraternity regulations, according to the release. “The overall culture of sexual violence in the community reflects the lack of education that the average chapter member has had,” the release stated. “The Panhellenic Association believes that this education plan addresses the concerns presenting themselves in our community and that it will be immensely effective if executed consistently in the coming years.”

There is little documentation on the number of sexual assaults that occur in fraternity houses or that are committed by fraternity members. In the past school year, the Title IX Office received 290 reports of sex discrimination, and 111 of those reports involved Greek members in some capacity, MU Title IX administrator Ellen Eardley said at the summit. According to a survey conducted by The Maneater, 20 percent of students reported that they were sexually assaulted in a fraternity house or knew someone who was.

a new sexual violence education program that will start in fall 2015 and will be mandatory for all members. “Our intent of the letter was to make sure we got a seat at the table, which we definitely did today at the summit,” PHA President Allison Fitts said after the summit. “I think the big thing moving forward is to continue to have women at the table when it comes to making policies in regards to their safety.” Fitts addressed PHA’s sexual violence education program at the beginning of the summit, and it was mentioned several times during the day, which she is taking as a positive reaction. “It was going to happen regardless,” she said.

Survey shows majority of students think consortium’s proposals would be ineffective The survey had more than 1900 responses, many of which came from the Greek community. Just over 20 percent of students who responded in a recent survey reported that they were sexually assaulted in a fraternity house or knew someone who was. Members of the Greek community, from alumni to current students, have been working to address sexual assault in fraternity houses. The Maneater surveyed MU students over the course of eight days in response to several regulations proposed by the MU Fraternity Alumni Consortium. The survey, which had 1,940 responses, found that a majority of students do not think the regulations would be effective. A majority of surveyed prospective fraternity and sorority members also said their

recruitment plans would be negatively affected by the regulations. “Your ideas are ridiculous,” one student wrote in the survey. “We are young adults now and if women want to stay at a fraternity house past 10 she should be aloud (sic) to. You are just trying to create problems for everyone. This will not solve anything. It will cause more problems on campus.” Seventy-eight percent of the responses were from current Greek Life members. The years of the respondents were distributed fairly equally. A majority, 37 percent, listed themselves as sophomores. Students who took the survey were required to give a PawPrint, which was then verified by Maneater staff. Students were also asked for any suggestions as to how to prevent sexual assault on campus, and around 600 people responded. “To prevent sexual violence, it is a matter of education every student on campus, not just Greek

Life,” one junior wrote. “From day one the tone from students, staff, and administration should be that this is not tolerated on MU’s campus. Give everyone the tools to identify sexual violence and be able to report it. Educate everyone on how to be safe around campus and be aware of what is happening around you. Developing an intolerance among the student body for such behavior is key. These sanctions will only make the students revolt and won’t help the cause.” Education was a common theme throughout the suggestions. “EDUCATION earlier on,” a sophomore wrote. “Not education on what happens after sexual assaults but education on what is considered a sexual assault. Women need to feel comfortable calling for help or disclosing the assault and men need to feel comfortable knowing when a line has been drawn and things are no longer consensual.”

The man behind @UneditedFoodie The Twitter account helped Singh become a part of the Columbia community. SARAH WYNNE Reporter @UneditedFoodie is a modern take on classic food critique. Run by Raghvendra Singh, an academic adviser by day, the Twitter account is flooded with pictures of food from CoMo restaurants, along with hyperlocal food news. Along with an Instagram account, Singh gets a taste of all Columbia has to offer. Living and working downtown, Singh has a lot

of opportunities to eat out. Singh has been to almost all of Columbia’s restaurants, but the downtown scene is his favorite. “Unedited Foodie” has been up and running since 2013. Singh first moved to Missouri from India nine years ago. He graduated from the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, became an adviser at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, then landed an advising position at MU in June 2013. Singh wanted to acclimate himself to his new home and thought food was a good way to do so. “As an immigrant myself, I have always been very fascinated with food,” Singh says. “I think that food is one of those things, culturally speaking, it helps you sort of not

only get accustomed to a different culture, but also start becoming part of that larger culture.” Some foods, such as beef, were new to him. In India, cows are considered sacred. Singh jokes, “I guess that’s how the term ‘holy cow’ came to emergence.” Now Singh says he eats anything from beef to escargot. “It’s kind of easy to walk, you can go from one place to another,” Singh says. “You can start at one place and end for your dessert at another.” Singh has a few favorites in the area. Cooper’s Landing, Booches or the Ozark Mountain Biscuit Truck are good casual places to go eat. Singh also loves how Pizza Tree tries different ingredients on their

CoMingle promotes cocktail culture at bars Event locations and times are hinted at on Twitter @CoMingle573 MARGAUX SCOTT Reporter Inspired by pop-up restaurants in California, St. Louis and around the U.S., friends Richard Trippler and Aaron Rostad jokingly threw around ideas for a cocktail truck or a pop-up bar late one night at Sycamore, where Rostad bartended at the time. Trippler left and had another drink elsewhere and by the time he got home that night, Rostad had started a Twitter account for @CoMingle573 and the pop-up bar became a reality.

Their first tweet is dated April 10. CoMingle partners with local bars during their slower hours or hours during which the bars would normally be closed, and essentially serves as the businesses’ guest bartenders for a set amount of hours. They create a unique five-drink menu for each event. Trippler says the drinks may not be revisited again, so you know you are a getting a one of a kind and possibly a once in a lifetime drink. The duo behind CoMingle doesn’t suffer from a lack of creativity when it comes to mixing drinks. With Trippler working as a bar manager at The Club at Old Hawthorne and Rostad working (at the time) as a bartender at Sycamore, this new venture has allowed them to

have creative license with cocktails, making them as outlandish as they want. “Sometimes a clever name pops into our head,” Rostad says. “We did a ‘Wake Me Up Before You CoMo’ at a brunch-inspired event. The name came first and then we fit a recipe to it.” Before their first event at Sycamore, Rostad says he admitted to Trippler that he had always wanted to use a miniature rubber duck as a garnish. “What if we just turned the Grey Goose (vodka) into a pretty blue color with some other ingredients and floated a duck on it and called

Pass the Popcorn: Mid-year top 10 movies CALEB BISHOP

(

)

It’s July. That puts us a little over halfway through the year. How crazy is that? 2015 has been a surprisingly solid year for movies, and it’s not even Oscar season yet. We’ve seen multiple interpretations of talking teddy bears, dinosaurs, apocalypses (isn’t that an odd word to see plural?), fast cars that make us cry, talking emotions and, of course, Melissa McCarthy. This year has made for quite the diverse viewing experience. So, which are the best? Without further ado, I’ll attempt to answer that incredibly difficult question. Remember, ranking drastically different movies is a challenge, so bear with me.

10. Tomorrowland – PG

4. It Follows – R

Even though it’s filled with plenty of clichés (like the villain explaining himself just long enough to get foiled and an annoyingly sentimental death monologue), “Tomorrowland” has so much originality that it excuses a multitude of flaws.

Every year, there seems to be one horror movie that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Last year, it was “The Babadook,” and this year, it’s “It Follows.” This John Carpenter-esque film relies on true horror and tone as opposed to jump scares, like most modern horror. It’s not easy to tackle the subject of frivolous sex, but “It Follows” will convince you that waiting for marriage is a great idea, otherwise the sexually transmitted demon will get you. It sounds funny, and even a little dumb, but this excellent film will terrify you. It also has an amazing ’80s themed soundtrack to boot.

Anchored by strong performances from emerging actresses and George Clooney actually acting (unlike in “Gravity,” where George Clooney played George Clooney in space), this movie stands to remind us that humanity shouldn’t just roll over and let the world fall to pieces around us, but rather to do something — anything — about it. It’s not without its flaws, but Disney should be praised for their ambition in “Tomorrowland.”

9. Spy – R “Spy” is the inevitable Melissa McCarthy comedy of this year. Fortunately, this is director Paul Feig and McCarthy’s second-best effort, falling just behind 2013’s “The Heat.”

3. Kingsman: The Secret Service – R

In this vulgar, star-studded James Bond spoof, McCarthy plays a spy, and it’s as funny as that sounds to you. The jokes are plentiful and diverse, so the chances that you’ll see something you like are high. The highlight here is Jason Statham, who surprises with a totally uncharacteristic funny bone.

I fully recognize that as a college-aged male, I was the target audience for “Kingsman,” but of the two James Bond-style movies on this list, this is the superior by far. Take all the aspects that make James Bond films great, make them way over-the-top, add in some self-awareness and Samuel L. Jackson with a lisp, and you’d have “Kingsman.” Filled with clever humor, gorgeous action, adorable puppies, dapper gentlemen and potentially the best fight scene I’ve ever witnessed, “Kingsman” lived up to every expectation I had for it.

8. What We Do in the Shadows – R

2. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl – PG-13

“What We Do in the Shadows” is an improv-heavy comedy made by the guys who did “Flight of the Conchords” about the everyday lives of vampires. It’s not for people who don’t fancy dry humor, but for those who do, it’s bloody hilarious.

“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is a near-flawless film, and should be necessary viewing for anyone with eyes and ears to see it. This isn’t just another story about a girl with cancer. Instead, it’s a story about a guy who knows a girl with cancer, and doesn’t really care that much. Think of it as the anti-“Fault in our Stars.” It doesn’t get bogged down in trying to be super sad or making grand, cheesy observations about the universe, but rather fills up that space with hilarious, relatable comedy that will crack a smile on the face of anyone who’s ever been in high school. It’s all of this, and also serves as a necessary reminder that life isn’t always about you. Bring a box of tissues to this one, you’ll cry (in a good way).

7. Furious 7 – PG-13 Rarely does a franchise make it to seven movies and remain relevant. While “Fast Five” remains the best that the franchise has to offer, “Furious 7” takes all of the testosterone-fueled stunts that fans know and love, and injects a bunch of heart to make this one a must-see. The death of Paul Walker was a tragedy, but it was a delight to see such a meat-headed franchise handle this emotional event so deftly.

If you know me well enough to have ever had the horror of experiencing one of my movie rants, you know exactly what movie you’re about to see at number one.

6. Mad Max: Fury Road – R

1. Paddington – PG

Featuring the best car chases that cinema has ever seen, “Mad Max: Fury Road” put the pedal to the metal and never let up. From the richly barren world that George Miller presented, to the underlying themes of feminism and cult behavior, this movie raised the bar for R-rated blockbusters. If Cirque du Soleil made a “Fast and Furious” movie, this would be the result.

I know what you’re thinking. OK, maybe I don’t, but I really don’t care. “Paddington” is without a doubt not only the best family movie I’ve ever seen, but one of the best movies I’ve seen, period. It tells the story of a bear named Paddington who goes to England looking for a home. It’s a simple story, sure, but it’s positively overflowing with heart and joy, and reminds us that a little kindness goes a long way. Filmed with bright colors and symmetry reminiscent of Wes Anderson, “Paddington” is sure to leave you with an embarrassingly large smile on your face. If it doesn’t, I’m more than a little convinced that there’s no heart beating in your chest.

5. Jurassic World – PG-13 No one can take away the importance of “Jurassic Park.” However, movies, much like people, age with varying levels of success, and “Jurassic Park” is no George Clooney. “Jurassic World” takes the basics of the dinosaur survivalhorror plotline and gives it the 2015 makeover with spectacular results. Immensely entertaining and awe-inspiring, “Jurassic World” rewards fans of the original, ignores the other two Jurassic films and serves as a cautionary tale against greed. This made for one heck of a trip to the theater, and it’s not often that a movie can make a grown man yell, clap and jump out of his seat simultaneously. If any part of you likes dinosaurs (or movies, for that matter), see “Jurassic World.”

Honorable mentions: “Ex Machina,” “Unfriended,” “While We’re Young,” “Inside Out,” “Monkey Kingdom” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

MOVE’s guide to the CoMo food trucks

COURTESY OF OZARK MOUNTAIN BISCUIT COMPANY

A customer orders at the Ozark Mountain Biscuit Company food truck at one of their many locations in Columbia, Mo.

JEANNINE ANDERSON Reporter CoMo has a surprisingly vibrant food truck scene for a lil’ town in the Midwest. It’s diverse too, with trucks devoted entirely to biscuits and Jamaican jerk. Here, I take a look at some area favorites: Mizzou Hot Dogs Mizzou Hot Dogs has been in Columbia since 2008. One can find their umbrella shading the corner of Ninth and University at lunchtime, or outside Fieldhouse on the weekends. Mizzou Hot Dogs is well known for its namesake, well, the Mizzou Hot Dog: a quarterpound Hebrew National kosher beef hot dog, striped with chili and cheese. Longtime hot dog aficionado James Sommerfeldt estimates that he serves more than 100 MU students per day when school is in session. He serves the most people during football season. “I will be here late-night for the rest of my life as far as I’m concerned,” he says. “I wouldn’t leave this job for the world.” Sommerfeldt recalled an incident when a man stole a bratwurst from his cart, and then another man pursued and tackled the brat thief, returning with the stolen brat. Sommerfeldt gave the man a free hot dog. Jamaican Jerk Hut The Jamaican Jerk Hut was born in Jefferson City. “It grew out of a need for a few Jamaicans to get access to the food of our land,” says member of the Jerk Hut crew Rexroy Scott, who emigrated

from Jamaica in 1997. “We cook it ourselves, and it became so popular that at some point we had to decide to become a real business.” The hut’s signature dish and namesake is barbecued so consumers can put their own spin on the meal. “We cook the meat on a grill,” Scott says. “Jerk is traditionally spicy, but we decided to put more of the spice in the sauce so you determine how spicy you want it.” Scott says operating a business is an ever-evolving process. Currently, they own two trucks and have no plans to build a permanent establishment at the moment. “Then it would become a real job,” Scott says. The Jerk Hut crew works as a team. Scott says there is no boss. “‘Employees’ is too formal of a term,” he says. “No, we are like the Green Bay Packers, we are owned by the people.” As for the hut’s signature jerk sauce, they make it with Scotch Bonnet peppers, the Caribbean pepper which is comparatively as spicy as a habanero pepper, which can be anywhere from 12 to 140 times hotter than a jalapeño. I tried this spicy sauce on some juicy jerk wings. It was hot, but I am a fan of spice so I found it to be the perfect level of heat. The sauce is not for the faint of heart! The jerk chicken was so juicy it could stand alone without sauce. According to Scott, there is no real secret to the refreshing Rasta Lemonade. The distinct flavor comes from the various fruit juices added to the mix.

The truck also does a take on an American favorite. “A beef patty is our version of the hamburger,” Scott says. It is like a calzone or beef pastry: flour dough, similar to pie crust, filled with a spiced beef filling and baked until crispy. “There are no recipes here,” he says. “We just kind of throw something together every day and hope that it comes out the same. It has not been documented.” Columbia residents can find the Jerk Hut at many downtown events and on the weekends, sometimes in the parking lot of Tiger Tinting on Rogers and Park. The Jerk Hut crew goes to Jefferson City for some events, such as the July 3 festivities. They blast reggae music wherever they go. “We go out-of-state a couple times a year,” Scott says. “We go up to the Quad Cities to a couple of reggae-themed festivals. Other than that, our gigs are mostly private caterings.” Ozark Mountain Biscuit Company Twin brothers Brent and Bryan Maness co-own the Ozark Mountain Biscuit Company and draw their culinary inspiration from their grandmother. “There’s been a few tweaks, but really it is her recipe,” Brent says. Brent says the food is wellreceived because it is made from scratch. One can find the Biscuit Truck on Ninth and Locust streets, and at many other community events around Columbia. This year, they are once again hitting the festival trail, with plans to

bestow biscuits at 13 festivals this year. I met up with the Biscuit Truck at Wakarusa last month and enjoyed a hearty ham and cheese biscuit with red pepper jelly and a pulled pork biscuit with incredible BBQ sauce. Just tasting the food answered the question as to how the Biscuit Truck has gained popularity in the three years since it began.

“Wakarusa’s a blast…we had so much fun here last year,” Brent says. “And we have fun cooking food for people. This year there is a lot of a buzz going on. It is fun to see that we are growing an audience and building a brand.” The plan is to build a physical restaurant in Columbia and expand the food trucks all around the country.

MOVE reviews Twenty One Pilots’ new album New album causes mixed emotions CORIN CESARIC Staff Writer OK MOVErs, say ‘I’ if you’re familiar with the catchy lyrics that go something like this… “'Cause somebody stole my car radio, and now I just sit in silence.” That’s right, we’re talkin’ Twenty One Pilots. After the musical duo from Ohio released their third studio album, “Vessel,” in 2013, they practically became a household name. I mean, you could barely go a week without hearing something about their music or their sold-out shows, but I wasn’t

complaining. Now, in 2015, they have burst back onto the music scene with their fourth studio album “Blurryface.” This album features 14 songs, is 52 minutes in length and the genre is… well, I actually don’t know. Although iTunes has dubbed it alternative, I’m not sure that’s what I would call it. Maybe a mix between rock, alternative, hip-hop, rap, dubstep and pop? Each track on the album has a distinct sound, and though I appreciate the effort that the band has put into the album, I just don’t really get it. Lead singer Tyler Joseph is known for his meaningful lyrics and his clear hip-hop influences, and though both of those things are present in “Blurryface,” they are less noticeable because of how many other sounds the album is trying

to pack together in each song. I don’t hate the record, but I definitely don’t love it like I loved “Vessel,” and I feel less of a connection to this album. It’s almost as if the band is trying too hard to be different this time around. The album gets a little messy with so much going on in each song, and it’s hard to keep up. It opens with the song “Heavydirtysoul” and within 3 minutes and 54 seconds you already hear about three different genres. Even though most of the songs aren’t favorites of mine, there are definitely still some memorable songs on the album that deserve a mention.“Stressed Out” has a laid back beat and great lyrics. Then there’s “Tear in My Heart” that is much faster and very Twenty One Pilots-like. There’s also “The Judge,”

which is a good example of how the band changed it up while still staying true to their original sound. Although the album is not Twenty One Pilots’ best work, I can’t call it horrible, and there are a few great tracks on there that I will be listening to for the next couple of months. It’s hard to live up to the expectations they set for themselves after releasing “Vessel,” but I think the band will still experience great success throughout the year. I know Twenty One Pilots still has it in them and will release another fivestar album in the future. But for now, MOVE gives “Blurryface” 3 out of 5 stars

Jamie xx’s new solo LP, his ‘missing step forward’ BRI CONSIDINE Reporter No one can deny the unique sound of The xx, whose 2009 self-titled debut album set the stage for ambient indie music. Guitarists/vocalists Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim became the foremen for chill, dream-synth tracks, while producer/remix artist Jamie xx remained the band’s DJ wallflower. The June 2 release of Jamie’s first solo LP, “In Colour,” has finally given the music industry a proper taste of his profound talent. During its first week, it reached No. 1 on Britain’s indie charts and, deservedly, No. 2 on the Billboard indie chart.

Since working with artists such as Gil Scott-Heron and Drake, Jamie has picked up some hip-hop nuances and club dubs that add a kaleidoscope of new grooves that go far beyond what one would ever expect from the brains behind The xx aura. “In Colour” could easily supercede the indie act’s debut success, and it definitely picks up what their sophomore album, “Coexist,” lacks. Where “Coexist” plays as a reproduction of “XX”, “In Colour” feels like the missing step forward. It is familiar enough to keep the audience listening, but offers enough variety and innovation to keep them excited. The familiarity peeks through on “Loud Places,” one of the album’s prereleased singles, and “Stranger in a

Room,” both of which are collaborations with Croft and Sim. The former is a melancholic trip down memory lane, in which Croft croons remorsefully: “Do I take you to higher places/You couldn’t reach without me?” “SeeSaw ” is another Croft collaboration that waxes a bit more upbeat than “Loud Places,” but still echoes The xx’s cloudiness and dreamy vocals. Jamie steps up the electronica game, though, leaving a starry track that deserves all the attention it can get. The kick-off track, “Gosh,” vibrates with the energy of metropolitan life. The club vibe at the beginning quickly pulsates into a street, hip-hop drum feel, complete with horn simulations. The song could fare as a city anthem to

rival Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind.” Lumped in with this genre-bending beat are “Hold Tight” and “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)” – a rap track featuring Young Thug and Popcaan that blazes a youthful feel. “Girl,” the closing track, reverberates with that same chill impression. Jamie’s seamless blending of different styles of music is simply an artful masterpiece. The album’s eccentricity is its greatest value, showcasing skill and creativity that is not very common amongst popular indie acts. With a successful LP like “In Colour,” it is hard to imagine where The xx’s next album could go, much less, indie music in general. MOVE gives “In Colour” 3 out of 5 stars

restricted in that he can only critique to a certain limit. He also would like to try out a video aspect to his blog and wants to continue to eat and try new foods in Columbia. “It’s something that I enjoy,” Singh says. “It’s not something I consider work and I like sharing that with people.”

If you are new to trying cocktails or aren’t sure what you would like, Trippler and Rostad suggest you have a conversation with the bartender and leave it in the hands of the experts. CoMingle’s menus leave out the long list of ingredients for each drink that is common for many bars, and instead only give the name of the drink and the main spirit. “Basically we are saying jump in and trust...that our combined experience is going to make something you will like,” Rostad says. Trippler adds: “It also encourages the conversation… maybe you will be adventurous and do it. Or, it will foster the conversation where they will come to us and ask us about it.” Rostad recently moved to Oklahoma, seemingly throwing a wrench in their new business. They don’t see it that way; Rostad has started another Twitter account, @CoMingle405, for the Oklahoma City area.

He plans to return to Columbia once a month for their pop-ups here in town, and he hopes to have Trippler join him in Oklahoma for a pop-up event there each month. When asked about where they see this venture going, they both agree they have no longterm plans “There is no end game,” Trippler says. “We’ll do this until people are tired of it, or until we are tired of it.” CoMingle currently uses only social media to connect with Columbia followers and drop hints about the details leading up to each pop-up. This has garnered excitement from locals looking for something fun and new. During the June 10 pop-up at Dogmaster Distillery, which was picnic-themed and highlighted Dogmaster vodka and whiskey, attendance was high and highenergy. People watched with intent as Trippler and Rostad carefully crafted each cocktail. A

few friends teasingly heckled the duo, and the whole atmosphere was jovial. Chris Perlow, a bartender at Bleu and former co-worker of Trippler, attended the June 10 event. “It’s a cool concept,” Perlow says. “I didn’t understand the idea of a pop-up bar, and I’m still not sure I get the logistics, but I would definitely check it out again. I like that you get to guess what’s in the drinks.” At the Dogmaster event on June 10th, the menu included a DD 573 cocktail which highlighted a smoked version of Dogmaster Distillery Whiskey. It also showcased Dogmaster vodka and muddled watermelon in Watermelon Smash, as well as Dogmaster’s first release of an aged whiskey in the drink Shock Collar. This kind of event lends itself not only to people trying something new but getting to support local businesses in the process.

“For us...it’s more than just the drinks, it’s the things that go around that, like the people we partner with,” Rostad says. “Not every location is right, not every partnership is right. We want to foster the culture and advance the opportunities Columbia has to experience a cool, unique event that centers around our passion.” The events’ menus are themespecific and hand-sketched by Meaghan Olsen, a longtime friend of Trippler’s. “We want people to think of it as kind of like their concert poster or ticket stub,” Trippler says. A plus for guests — with the duo’s unique drinks come vibrant and welcoming personalities. This guarantees any visit to CoMingle, wherever it may pop up next, will be an event to remember.

Tigers team up in Cape Cod Baseball League Austin Tribby: “I think it’s always fun to have guys from your school play with you in the summer. It’s really cool to see them be able to do what they do in a different environment and see them face different guys with different styles.” PETER BAUGH Reporter The moment the baseball hit his bat, Shane Benes knew it was gone. The ball soared over the fence just left of dead center field for a home run. Benes, a rising sophomore, had just notched his first hit in the Cape

Cod Baseball League. The CCBL is considered the best summer league for college baseball players. The league has produced many major league stars, including Mike Matheny, Craig Biggio, Thurman Munson, Matt Harvey and Lance Berkman. This year, four Missouri Tigers are competing in the league. Benes, rising senior Austin Tribby and rising sophomore Bryce Montes de Oca are all playing for the Falmouth Commodores, while rising senior Alec Rash is playing for the Brewster Whitecaps. “Just to be able to represent my school down here in front of all the professional scouts and all, that is a huge honor,” Tribby said. The league offers the players a chance to develop their skills while playing against some of the best competition that college baseball has to offer. Montes de Oca is a powerful right-handed pitcher. After beginning the summer in Falmouth’s bullpen, he

emerged as a starter for the Commodores. “I’m just trying to get innings right now, some experience, work on my breaking ball, get it a little more consistent, just work on my command of the fastball,” Montes de Oca said. The 6-foot-7-inch Lawrence, Kansas, native has impressed many people on the Cape, including Falmouth coach Jeff Trundy. “More than velocity, I think what’s really been important is that he’s been able to command the strike zone,” Trundy said. “With his stuff, if he just throws strikes you’re going to have good success.” Tribby has also done well for the Commodores. Like Montes de Oca, the left-hander started the summer in the bullpen and moved into a starting role. “(Tribby’s) given us a good chance to win every single time he’s been on the mound,” Trundy said.

Joining a new team, DeMarre Carroll’s success keeps rolling in DeMarre Carroll: “I want to help the kids’ confidence … and let them know that the harder you work, the more successful you’ll be.” BRUNO VERNASCHI Sports Editor Just married, in the best playing form of his life and a child on the way, all topped off by a $12-million-plus salary raise. Former Missouri Tiger DeMarre Carroll is on top of the world.

After his most successful season in the National Basketball League, Carroll announced his decision to leave the Atlanta Hawks and join DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry in Toronto last week. “Congrats @DeMarreCarroll1 your hard work& great attitude continues to pay off. Toronto Raptors! #JYD,” tweeted former Mizzou coach Mike Anderson, who is also Carroll’s uncle, last Wednesday. Carroll said in a phone interview that the Hawks weren’t among the league’s top bidders for him, and that his four other serious contenders included the Phoenix Suns, the Detroit Pistons, the Memphis Grizzlies and the New York Knicks. Ultimately, he and the Raptors agreed on a $60 million deal, jumping “The Junkyard Dog” from seventh-highest to highest-

paid player on his team. Aside from the upgraded paycheck, the Birmingham, Alabama, native said some of the biggest reasons for his decision were the Raptors’ fan base and head coach Dwane Casey, who identified his position, with hopes to “make my role even bigger.” However, Carroll is still thankful for his time in Georgia. Carroll recently wrote a thank-you note to the people of Atlanta and the Hawks organization, published on The Players’ Tribune. “The biggest reason why I was able to play my best basketball in Atlanta is because of the organization’s player development,” he wrote in the letter. “All of the

with Missouri swimmer Michael Chadwick PETER BAUGH Reporter Swimmer Michael Chadwick is an All-American and rising junior at Missouri. As a sophomore at the NCAA Championships, he finished fifth in the 100yard freestyle, sixth in the 200-yard freestyle relay and ninth in the 50-yard freestyle. He sat down with The Maneater to discuss his training and goals for next season. The Maneater: What have you been doing this summer for training? Michael Chadwick: I’m home in Charlotte, North Carolina, right now training with a preOlympic program called SwimMAC Carolina, which is the team I grew up training with. It’s a really big program where we have about 25 swimmers who are all trying to make the (Olympic) team next summer, including names like Ryan Lochte and Cullen Jones and Tyler Clary. ME: Is your goal to make the Olympics next summer? MC: That would be the best case scenario, yes. ME: How many swimmers does the Olympic team take in the 100 freestyle? MC: In every event, they take the top two swimmers, but in the 100 and the 200 freestyle, they take the top six—the top four for relays and then two for alternates. ME: Are you a better long course (50 meters) or short course (25 meters) swimmer?

Chadwick is training with Olympic gold medalists Ryan Lochte, Cullen Jones and Tyler Clary this summer in pre-Olympic program SwimMAC Carolina. MC: Traditionally, better short course, but so far this summer, long course has proven to be very good. I just got back from a Grand Prix series in France … I placed top-eight in the 100 free and then I got fourth in the 50 freestyle. That was really good, and it was best times. I broke 50 seconds for the first time in the 100-free and I was about 22.5 in the 50 free, which were both best times for me. ME: When do you go back to Mizzou for training? MC: I’ll go back to Mizzou right after Nationals, which will be about Aug. 20.

ME: How have you enjoyed working with Mizzou’s coaches? MC: They’re so awesome. The great thing about where I am is I’ve gotten to jump around to each coach, so I’m not strictly limited to the sprint group or strictly limited to the mid-distance group. Each coach has something different to offer.

ME: What are your goals for the Mizzou team this year? MC: At SECs, I’m looking for top three. We will have that tournament at our home pool this year, which will be awesome. For NCAAs, I’d really love to crack the top 10. We got 11th this year, and I think we’re only going to be better next year. I think we could be top eight next year, which would be just a great accomplishment for our program.

ME: How much are you learning from these Olympians you’re swimming with over the summer? MC: So much. Part of the best thing about being home and working with them has just been watching how they act in practice and how they live that Olympian lifestyle. Everyday, it’s walk in the pool, get their stuff done and then turn it off. Everyday is going in, going out and doing that same routine. They are teaching me how we train for meets, how we get ready for the races, how they warm down, how they eat well. You can’t read about that. You have to be there, witness it and learn it.

ME: How about your individual goals for the season? MC: The goal is to win a national championship this year in the 50 or the 100 free. I was fifth this past year in the 100 free and three of the guys ahead of me are graduating. So it’s me, and then the reigning national champion is Kristian Gkolomeev; he’s from Alabama and he’s my year … It would be a great to finally win that.

ME: Is there anything you’d like to add? MC: I think we had a great year. We worked hard, we’ve come such a long way from the past three years. We’re heading in a great direction and we’re only going to keep getting better and with the new addition of (transfer) Fabian (Schwingenschlogl), I just think we’re going to keep getting momentum and keep going forward.

decades ago. Soccer has never been bigger in the United States and is one of the fastest growing sports in America today, and this team is largely to thank for that. The championships are nice, but the impact of this team reaches much farther. Sunday was the first, and probably last, time that I will ever see a troupe of 12-year-old girls walk into a sports bar excited to watch a game. (Crazy, right?) But most importantly, this team inspired a whole new generation of girls to not just want to play sports, but to excel and play at the highest level. Lloyd, Hope Solo, Abby Wambach and the other stars helped raise the bar and redefine what is possible for the next generation of girls. Now that’s pretty damn cool.

again. Twenty-five million Americans tuned in to watch their team trounce an outgunned Japanese squad and put the game away in the first 15 minutes of action. To clarify, that’s a larger audience than any of the U.S. Men’s World Cup games a year ago and larger than any NBA Finals game in history. Like it or not, the USWNT transcends soccer and sports itself. The U.S. women have won half of the World Cups they have ever been played and remain the only nation to make it to the semifinals in each of the seven tournaments ever held. Not only have they dominated the competition, but the U.S. women have managed to take a sport mainstream that hardly even existed in the US three

third strike, a smooth touch from beyond the arc or a game-clinching, last-second field goal, the number three dictates greatness. After three top-tier opponents, three consecutive shutouts and three early goals from midfielder Carli Lloyd on afternoon of July 5, the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team defeated Japan 5-2 and clinched its third World Cup title. With the dramatic loss to the Japanese in a devastating World Cup final in 2011, it may seem like this is poetic justice, a feel-good story four years in the making. But it wasn’t. It was sheer dominance. The USWNT cruised through group play and pitched three straight shutouts in the knockout round to advance to the finals once

Continued from page 25 “He’s throwing three pitches for strikes and I’ve been more than pleased with his presence. He has good poise — he doesn’t get rattled. He gets to the next pitch very, very well.” While in the Cape, players live with a host family. They also have access to attractions that are difficult to find in Columbia. Benes said that aside from the traffic, he has enjoyed his summer home, especially the beach, because of the “different environment.”

As a position player, Benes also feels the high level of competition is good preparation for Southeastern Conference pitching. “It’s definitely been challenging hitting-wise, seeing good pitching like we do in our conference,” he said. “So it’s been good for me, just getting more reps in practice on the good arms and being able to learn how to take and learn my strike zone and what I can and cannot hit and overall just getting a lot of repetitions in a really good league. That’s been really, really helpful for me.” With three Missouri players in Falmouth, it has given the Tiger players the unique chance

to team up over the summer. Tribby has enjoyed growing with his college teammates as baseball players and said they have had learning experiences as a team that they would not have seen with the Tigers. “I think it’s always fun to have guys from your school play with you in the summer,” he said. “It’s really cool to see them be able to do what they do in a different environment and see them face different guys with different styles. It’s just cool watching them be able to compete and do well in such a great league.” Since starting this summer, all three players have competed in different roles than they

did at Mizzou. After coming off of a knee injury, Benes has been able to start playing the field. While with the Tigers his freshman year, he was limited to the role of designated hitter. Neither Tribby nor Montes de Oca started games pitching for Mizzou. After seeing them step up in both starting and relief roles, Trundy feels that the Mizzou coaching staff will have many options with the duo. “I think any coach wants to know that he has a pitching staff that can offer some versatility, and I think these kids are showing that,” said Trundy, who is on his 17th year with the Commodores.

Trundy feels that Benes, Montes de Oca and Tribby all have potential to continue playing baseball after college. He said he is pleased with his relationship with the Mizzou coaching staff and hopes to see future Tigers playing summer ball in Falmouth. “We’ve had a long term relationship with (Tigers coach Tim) Jamieson and Missouri,” he said. “We’ve really appreciated them trusting their kids to us. We’re kind of borrowing these guys, to be honest. It’s really their guys but we’ve had a long, long list of Missouri Tigers and we want that to continue and certainly we look forward to having more in the future.”

coaches worked hard to make every guy on this roster better, and they deserve a lot of credit for our team’s improvement this year.” Along with Carroll’s personal improvement came his team’s. The Hawks finished last season with 60 wins and the best record in the Eastern Conference, compared to a 38-win year in 2013-14. Carroll’s path to greatness in the pros was far from easy. During his career at Mizzou, he was not only shot in the ankle outside of a nightclub, but also diagnosed with a rare liver disease. Despite these threats to his future in basketball, Carroll was able to get through his illness. Although the possibility that he will need a liver transplant still exists, it won’t be necessary for the next few decades. “I just want to be an inspiration and a role model,” he said. “(My success) just shows my dedication and all my hard work and not letting people dictate my success in my mind.” The Junkyard Dog’s battle with the disease led him to beginning the Carroll Family Foundation, which he founded about four months ago. He said the organization is aimed at helping pediatric patients. As a part of the development of his nonprofit, Carroll will be hosting his Next Level Basketball Camp in three different cities: Birmingham, Atlanta and Columbia. The Columbia camp will be open to boys and girls between the ages of eight and 15 years old. It will be held at Father

Tolton Catholic High School from July 21-23 and costs $175 per person. “The camp is really to help kids,” Carroll said. “When I was a kid, I always wanted to be an NBA player. I want to help the kids’ confidence … and let them know that the harder you work, the more successful you’ll be.” He said his camps will be “more hands-on” and that attendees “will get more out of my camp,” assuring that they leave his camp “better at one aspect of their play.” Carroll said a big factor for bringing the camp to Columbia was his experience with the city during his two years of play with the Tigers. During his last season at Mizzou, Carroll averaged 13 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, leading his team to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament. “They taught me how to win, what it takes to win and what it takes to be successful and the hard work it takes,” he said. “(Mizzou and Columbia) helped me not only be a better basketball player, but a better person. They had a big influence on my life, so I always want to go back and make sure I give back.” After getting married in late June, Carroll and his wife are expecting a second child. The honeymoon, however, had to wait. He said it “shows how great my wife is” that she allowed to put their vacation off while he figured out free agency. As he begins to start a new life in Canada, Carroll attributes all of his recent successes to grit. “It just shows that I’m getting better, and I don’t want to stop now,” Carroll said. “It’s because of hard work and determination. That’s it.”
