Ward presented three options for decommissioning

the building to the Faculty Council on Tuesday.

He said the first option of saving the building would cost approximately $13.3 million

and take over five years.

Since its introduction in March of this year, the agreement to allow the Opus Group to construct a new luxury student housing complex in the heart of downtown Columbia has sparked a community-wide conversation.

Through petitions, meetings and a string of agreements, the residents of Columbia and City Council have been communicating with regards to the fate of the development project.

However, as residents lined the sidewalks of Eighth and Locust streets on Tuesday armed with brightly colored posters, an array of chants and a list of grievances, it is clear that some citizens do not feel their communications have been heard.

The 41st annual University of Missouri Safety Walk, hosted by the Missouri Students Association and the Graduate Professional Council, took place Monday evening with a multitude of representatives, including several student organizations and campus police.

Participants were sorted into five groups to cover different routes through residential areas, main campus and Greek Town. The goal was to identify structural safety issues through campus such as lighting, low-hanging branches, broken curbs and accessibility.

The walk then headed out at 7:30 p.m.

Monday. The walks historically take place at night, to allow participants to easily identify lighting outages and areas on campus that do not appear to have enough lighting options.

“Some areas, while they may be handicapaccessible, there may not be very good signage to show that that’s where you can go to get in,” Director of Student Services Zack Folk said.

Ensuring the university follows the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines for accessibility was a main focus for the walk this year. Groups were instructed to look for wheelchair ramps to main buildings.

“The ADA accommodations for Parker Hall was the largest safety issue I saw today,” Tim

Mule Club celebrates university history Tim and Terry are the third team of mules since the club was founded in 1984.

TAYLOR BLATCHFORD Reporter It’s Saturday morning in Columbia, and students, fans and alumni are tailgating in anticipation of the Missouri Tigers football game.

Less than a mile from Memorial Stadium, veterinary students wearing gold shirts are showing off a more unconventional symbol of Missouri pride: the mule team.

Tim and Terry, 21-yearold Missouri mules, are giving wagon rides to alumni of the College of Veterinary Medicine.

The Missouri Mule Club is made up of graduate veterinary students that care for the mules and bring them to events around the state.

Tim and Terry are the third team of mules since the club was founded in 1984.

Mule Club supervisor John Dodam said the club attends roughly 50 events per year, educating the public about the College of Veterinary Medicine and the history of the mule in Missouri.

“We talk to people about admission into veterinary school and undergraduate programs at MU,” Dodam said.

“We tell them about the things we do at the teaching hospital and at the College of Veterinary Medicine. It serves as a kind of public relations arm as well as an educational arm of the university.”

Dodam said the club was started when the College

Mules Terry and Tim comprise the MU College of Veterinary Medicine’s Mule Club. The team will pull Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin and his family from Missouri Theater to Memorial Union during his installation ceremony Thursday.

of Veterinary Medicine was struggling with funding in the 1980s. Then-Dean Robert Kahrs saw the mule, Missouri’s state animal, as an ideal way to promote the veterinary school and bring publicity to MU. “The mules serve as a catalyst to talk to people about MU about agriculture, about biology and about veterinary medicine,” Dodam said.

Since then, the club has traveled to a wide variety of events, from elementary school theme days to nursing homes.

Dodam said the mules are well-known at the Missouri State Fair and were a favorite of late Missouri governor Mel Carnahan.

On Sept. 18, Tim and Terry will transport Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin from the Missouri Theatre to Memorial Union as part of his inauguration ceremony.

Kelsey Waw r z y n i c e , graduate student and Mule Club president for the 20132014 school year, said she enjoyed leading parades with the mules at various festivals and educating people about the history of the Missouri mule.

“It’s a really great experience,” she said. “It’s a great outreach program, especially with kids.

You can tell that the public really enjoys the events that we come to. They’re always smiling and seem really happy, even

when they just come up and talk to us.”

Graduate student Torie Neff joined the club last year. The class schedule for veterinary school was demanding, and she wanted to find something to get involved with outside of classes.

She also wanted to learn how to drive a team of mules, having previously ridden horses.

Now the 2014-2015 club president, Neff is responsible for scheduling events and coordinating availability of club officers and sponsors. She also feeds the mules on a rotating schedule with the other officers.

“I’ve learned a lot about time management,” Neff said. “You also have to be diplomatic when

working with people in the community with scheduling.”

Dodam said he most enjoys the relationships he has formed with people throughout the state while traveling with the mules, as well as getting to know the students in the club.

“It’s a great way to get the word out about the history of the mule in the state of Missouri and to tell people about the good things we do at MU,” Dodam said. “It seems like a funny way to do that, but it’s amazingly effective. In the way the success of the football team buoys the whole university, the same thing can be said of the mules.”

ESPN’s Anderson to host second annual College Avenue Mile BRUNO VERNASCHI Associate Editor ESPN SportsCenter anchor John Anderson graduated from MU with a bachelor’s degree in journalism 27 years ago.

However, his work is not done in Columbia.

Anderson will be hosting the second annual College Avenue Mile, sponsored by his organization, the Anderson Family Charitable Foundation, Sept.

21.

Anderson and his wife, Tamara, started the AFCF in 2009 with the focus of helping elementary school-aged children who need financial assistance.

Presented by Midwest Computech, the one-mile race costs $20 per runner.

The proceeds are used to fund running clubs created

by Columbia Public Schools, as well as the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri’s Buddy Pack program.

Anderson said he established their lunches and breakfasts a foundation to focus on helping during the school week, schoolchildren because his kids according to the Food Bank for were the same age at the time. Central and Northeast Missouri.

Last year, despite rainstorms, 400 runners participated in the College Avenue Mile, raising over $30,000 combined for the two causes. “ Without (Anderson’s) support, we wouldn’t be able to have the running clubs as they exist today,” CPS Community Relations Director Michelle Baumstark said.

Anderson also hosts a similar race in his hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Although he now lives in Connecticut for work, he was born in Iowa, raised in Wisconsin and went to school in Missouri.

“That’s about as Midwest as you can get,” he said. “This is where I am from. My roots are here. I owe a lot to the city of Columbia and the university.

I just feel tied to the place.”

Anderson said he wanted to make the charity run in his college town unique and memorable for all those who

chose to participate. That’s why he made the running course one mile down College Avenue.

“The 5K and 10K races are dimes a dozen, but there’re a lot of them, and we wanted to distinguish ourselves,” said Anderson, who ran track at Missouri. “Sure enough, we were able to get cooperation from the Department of Transportation and the City of Columbia. They gave us the road for a couple of hours, and that’s a special deal.”

Anderson said he sees his contribution as meeting the problem at the source.

“When you’re hungry, all you can think about is how hungry you are,” he said. “It’s hard to add two and two when you’re thinking about hunger.

“Even though it might not be reading, writing and arithmetic, feed them better and they concentrate better.

Then, you help with the reading, writing and arithmetic.”

MU searches for better waste disposal method MU researchers are digging through garbage in search of a better disposal method.

GRACE ROGERS Reporter By digging through the garbage, MU researchers are working to find the best method to reduce waste.

Roughly 35 million tons of food is wasted every year in the U.S. According to a 2009 study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, the average American wastes 1,400 calories of food per day.

That amounts to 150 trillion calories total per year.

Christine Costello, assistant research professor of bioengineering, and Ronald McGarvey, assistant professor with a joint appointment in industrial and manufacturing engineering systems department and the Truman School of Public Affairs, have been the lead researchers on the project, which started in January.

They are looking at a variety of solutions and are weighing the sustainability benefits against the economic costs of each proposed method of waste disposal.

During the spring 2014 semester, the pair worked with Campus Dining Services. While

the dining halls were already weighing food waste, Costello and McGarvey went a step further by sorting the garbage into “edible” and “inedible” food waste with the help of undergraduate students.

This helped them determine how much of the total food waste was actually consumable as opposed to things like chicken bones and watermelon rinds, which are not going to be consumed by students.

Knowing how much of the food waste is inedible is important in determining how much can actually be reduced, McGarvey said.

Later on, they started to look at the different kinds of edible foods being wasted and their effects on the environment.

The researchers sorted the food waste into categories like grains, fruits and proteins.

They used other studies to determine that wastes like meat had a higher upstream carbon emission, meaning they had a more substantial impact on the environment during production.

McGarvey said they have been very fortunate and people have been more than willing to collaborate with them on the project, even by giving them lab space for their smelly sorting.

Building on the successes of the spring semester, the study is expanding to include Intercollegiate Athletics and the University Hospital with a $82,000 grant from Mizzou

Advantage this semester.

Junior Trevion McGhaw, an industrial engineering student working on the project, said having a bigger sample size is a great opportunity to expand the scope of the study.

In addition to working in collaboration with several other sustainability projects toward zero waste in athletics, junior Nick Boshonek said he is looking forward to sifting through the

University Hospital’s garbage.

Students will be trained for dealing with the privacy issues surrounding sorting hospital waste, Costello said.

The waste data gathered from that source may be important in contributing to the diversity of garbage used in the study.

By studying trash from a variety of sources, the group hopes that it can find a way to help others discover what

waste management method, or combination of methods, works best for its situation, Costello said.

The team also hopes to study other kinds of organic waste off campus in the future.

“We want to be careful here to not identify a single point solution that is going to be great (only) if the next thirty years work out exactly as we planned,” McGarvey said.

Kate Hargis hired as MSA deputy chief of staff WAVERLY COLVILLE Reporter Sophomore Kate Hargis, former Missouri Students Association senator, was hired as the new deputy chief of staff for the MSA executive cabinet.

The deputy chief of staff’s role is to assist cabinet with various tasks and to take on any extra projects they need to be completed.

“I feel it’s a great opportunity to help out the student body in a different way than I ever have before,” Hargis said. “By doing various things, this will help me not only see students’ voices and help their voices come to MSA, but also help MSA give back to the students.”

Hargis began her involvement with MSA as a senator on the MSA Budget Committee. She also helped out Gunnar Johanson, former director of student communications, as an MSA Outreach coordinator alongside junior Alex Blodgett.

“Starting out in Senate was great because I learned the ropes of MSA, so the deputy chief of staff is a nice transition,” Hargis said.

“Anything they need done or any extra projects that they need to put on my shoulders, I’m willing to take on.”

Haden Gomez, MSA director of student communications, said he started working with Hargis last year on budget committee.

When MSA reviewed the applications for this position, Gomez said he felt Hargis was the

obvious fit.

“She’s goal-oriented,” Gomez said. “We’ve already hatched out many things she will be doing, and she’s already tackled most of them.

From day one, we’ve seen her excel in every aspect that we thought she would be.”

Hargis’ goal is to help execute the original platform of former MSA President Mason Schara and current MSA President Kelsey Haberberger, which is uniting the MU campus.

Through her work, Hargis said she hopes to connect MSA with different organizations with each other on campus. This may include going to different organizations’ meetings when an MSA executive cabinet member can’t make it, or filling in other areas when needed.

She said she also hopes to continue working closely with Senate and the executives.

Budget Committee chairman Chris Hanner also worked with Hargis while on the budget committee last year and observed her work while on MSA Outreach.

“Her biggest strength is her drive,” he said. “She’ll set her mind on something and she will get it done. With MSA focusing on students, that will be extremely valuable.”

Last semester, while working on MSA Outreach, Hargis went around to fraternities, sororities and different organizations recruiting representatives for MSA. “She made sure we had the best people in this organization and

her leadership skills truly showed through that,” Hanner said.

Hargis also worked with Blodgett on Meet Your Senator Day, where students held up signs of changes they would like to see on campus.

“It showed me that there’s so many students that care and ultimately what MSA’s goal should be is serving the students,” Hargis said. “I’m hoping to bring that forward in my work.”

Hargis said she feels confident that she can handle the time commitment and dedication that MSA demands.

“I got overwhelmed at times taking on too many things,” Hargis said. “However, I’m pretty good at time management, and MSA is a big dedication that I want to dedicate my time to. That’s important for the deputy chief of staff, because I fill in different areas when cabinet is too busy, so I have no problem jumping into new things.”

Hargis said she believes her bubbly and outgoing personality is one of her strengths that will allow her to interact with the diverse personalities in MSA. “I have no problem taking charge

of a situation,” she said. “I love to bring out the exciting sides of the quiet people and get in depth with the more outspoken people. I hope that will help me with my position, since I have to dabble in a lot of different areas.”

MSA is looking forward to working with Hargis, both Hanner and Gomez said.

“We’ve already seen her characteristics come to life,” Gomez said. “(The executive) cabinet is extremely excited to have her on board, and we’re ready to forge through this semester.”

Eighth execution in Missouri in 2014 carried out by lethal injection CHRIS BEYER Reporter A Missouri inmate convicted in a 1998 double homicide was executed by lethal injection after the U.S. Supreme Court and Gov. Jay Nixon denied pleas for clemency, according to a Sept. 9 news release from Nixon’s office.

Earl Ringo Jr. was found guilty and later confessed to the murders of Dennis Poyser and Joanna Baysinger at a Columbia restaurant. His accomplice, Quentin Jones, avoided the death penalty by testifying against Ringo. Jones is currently serving a life sentence, according to court documents.

Nixon received an organized petition from the American Civil Liberties Union requesting the postponement of Ringo’s execution, but he decided to let the sentence carry out as initially scheduled.

“The evidence that was presented at trial left no doubt about Ringo’s guilt,” Nixon said in the release.

“My denial of clemency upholds the court’s decision to impose the death penalty for these two murders.”

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster was also in the public eye in relation to Ringo’s execution. He asked protesters to remember the severity of Ringo’s crime in a Sept.

10 public statement.

"It should not be lost in the national debate over the death penalty that Earl Ringo Jr. was responsible for the murders of two

innocent Missourians,” Koster said.

“For 16 years he avoided payment for this crime. Tonight, he has paid the penalty."

Nixon and Koster are noted advocates of the death penalty.

Since they both assuming their respective offices in 2009, they have overseen the execution of 12 death row inmates, including eight inmates in 2014 alone. No other state has put as many to death in such a short amount of time.

Missouri’s efficiency in this matter has drawn a significant amount of criticism from the antideath penalty public.

Mary Ratliff, president of Missouri NAACP, says her organization has long been fighting for the abolition of the death penalty in Missouri. Ratliff wrote several letters to the governor’s office and attended the Vigil for Life protest outside Boone County Courthouse prior to Ringo’s execution on Sept.

10.

“We think that (the death penalty) is barbaric,” Ratliff said.

“You don’t want to be known as the state with the highest number of executions per year.”

Entering the public conscious so soon after the death of Michael Brown and the protests in Ferguson, the execution of Ringo has received much public attention, Ratliff said.

Ratliff said she thinks the two events are connected in that they both shed light on what she perceives as institutionalized racism within Missouri’s legal system.

“There is a disparity in death sentencing for African-American folks,” Ratliff said. “You’re supposed to be judged by a jury of your peers.

Certainly, the racial climate in this country does not lend itself to an African-American person receiving a fair trial. We are very disturbed about the fact that there was an allwhite judge, jury and prosecutor.”

Ringo’s execution has also garnered attention as a result of the petition filed to Nixon as part of recent concern over the use of midazolam, a sedative that has been linked to botched executions in Ohio, Oklahoma and Arizona.

During a deposition in January 2014, Missouri Department of Corrections Director George Lombardi swore under oath that the state would not use midazolam in lethal injection executions due to its controversial nature. According to an investigative report conducted by St. Louis Public Radio, Missouri has since carried out seven executions using midazolam as a sedative.

Midazolam is a uniquely powerful sedative and, according to the Mayo Clinic’s website, is “used to produce sleepiness or drowsiness and relieve anxiety before surgery or certain procedures. It is given only by or under the immediate supervision of a doctor trained to use this medicine.”

Usually, medical doctors refuse to participate in lethal injection procedures because of the Hippocratic oath. The administration of the lethal drugs is

normally left to an execution team comprised of prison employees.

As Missouri garners national attention for its continued use of midazolam, the attorney general’s

office said the sedative is used as part of a “pre-execution” procedure and therefore cannot be considered part of the lethal injection execution itself.

Missouri’s eighth execution of the year took place Sept. 10.

the project’s costs and viability.

The West Ash solar field, located on Bernadette Drive and Tiger Lane, produced 41,420 kilowatt hours in 2013, according to a city news release. Kacprowicz said the proposed expansion would add 250 kilowatt hours of solar energy. That would increase Columbia’s current capacity of solar power of 544,060 kWh per year by 0.04 percent.

According to the city’s annual Renewable Energy Report, despite the addition of 11 net-metered solar units in 2014, solar energy still makes up less than one percent of Columbia’s energy capacity. Other renewable resources like wind turbines, landfill gas and burning wood chips make up another six percent of Columbia’s energy portfolio. Kacprowicz said the different forms of renewable and fossil fuel energy tend to balance each other out.

“Most fossil fuels can be turned

on or off, and retain a pretty high rate of reliability, around 90 percent, whereas most forms of renewable energy are more intermittent,” she said. “We always have to have an alternative form of energy to back the renewable (form) up.”

The city leases solar projects from Free Power along the COLT railroad line, and operates installations at Quaker Oats, Bright City Lights and the West Ash Pumping Station, according to the Renewable Energy Report.

Additionally, the city has netmetering agreements with 30 individuals who have built their own solar panels. In a net-metering agreement, Columbia Water and Light pays the customer’s current electric rate for the electricity generated by the customer’s solar panels. That money is credited to the customer’s monthly utility bill.

“As of (Sept. 10), we have 30 netmetering customers, and the total

amount of energy is 160 kilowatts, (which) is what their total rated capacity is,” Kacprowicz said. “That’s up quite a bit last year (from) 19 customers producing 108 kilowatts.”

Tom O’Connor, a member of the Water and Light advisory board, has installed solar panels on his own home under a net-metering agreement. He now operates a netzero household, meaning that his solar panels produce more energy than his household consumes.

“On the Water and Light board, a lot of what we keep pushing is, ‘Let’s buy more renewable energy,’” O’Connor said. “Generally, (renewable energy) is a forwardthinking solution, and solar power, in my mind, is a benchmark by which you judge renewable energy.

Producing the power in Columbia saves a good amount of money, he said.

“There is a hierarchy of things you want your power to be,”

O’Connor said. “One is that it’s owned by your local utility, two is that it’s renewable, and three is that it keeps the money local. We spend $80 million out of town every year to buy energy. So, if you’re looking at the big picture, you want to keep that energy in your pocket.”

Nauser said she opposed the appropriation of city funds for the project.

“I support our renewable energy portfolio, but I don’t feel like this project is a wise investment for our taxpayers and our rate-payers to expend that money for an experiment,” Nauser said.

She said if the council asks for that increase in rates, the council should be able to prove the program’s reliability.

“Solar is still in its infancy,” Nauser said. “The renewable energy market is not growing as fast as we would hope. Renewables are good, but they have their share of problems.”

She said she would prefer private companies take ownership of energy production, rather than the city subsidizing production.

“We just have to draw the line on what we should and should not be doing,” Nauser said. “I’m concerned when you start using rate-payer money to invest in private projects.

You’re gambling with rate-payer money.”

O’Connor dismissed fears that Columbia’s budget gap is too big to take on any additional projects. He said Water and Light budgets about $120 million annually for electric utilities. Compared to that sum, he said, the $600,000 cost of the proposed West Ash solar expansion is small.

“It’s all upfront,” he said. “But, really, there’s no extra cost to it. It’s just upfront.”

O’Connor said he believes that the expansion of the West Ash solar field will be good for Columbia. He said the West Ash project has every characteristic that he would hope for in an expansion of the power utility, and, in the short run, meeting Columbia’s energy requirements.

He wants that increased load to be renewable.

“We’re Columbia, Missouri, and we put up solar panels,” O’Connor said. “Deal with it.”

“We used to do what’s called deficit budgeting, where we planned on spending more money than we would be taking in with the thought that we wouldn’t spend all of it, but we have moved toward a balanced budget and that’s a recent change,” Second Ward councilman Michael Trapp said.

To balance the budget, the city has had to increase sewer and electric rates and is looking at reducing the number of garbage bags that are distributed to citizens from 75 to 50, he said. In the past, Columbia has issued vouchers to residents that could be redeemed at local convenience, grocery and hardware stores for both black trash and blue recycling bags.

Each of the 53 city budgets function as their own separate entity and have funds that can

only be spent on their specific area, Trapp said. With the solid waste budget in jeopardy, the city has had to determine how it can best improve the situation for the time being.

“We really talked about how we as a city can make sure that those who are generating more waste are paying their fair share, and those who are producing little waste and aren’t recycling as much are incentivized to do so,” First Ward councilwoman Ginny Chadwick said.

Trapp said this type of action item will affect citizens directly.

The city will also be raising building rates, rental inspection fees and parking ticket fines to be able to hire more police officers. To keep up with population growth and to maintain the same ratio of police

officers to citizens, the city is required to add three officers a year.

“The budget only includes money that we are sure to have, so it doesn’t include any potential tax or rate increases, like the public safety tax increase we are proposing,” Trapp said. “If we get that, then we’ll hire more police officers. If we don’t, we’ll stick with three.”

City Council is also seeking voter approval in the upcoming year for a development fee for roads, which would utilize a “tiered approach” to balancing the cost of new development and infrastructure, according to the Finance Services’ budget report.

Additionally, there would be a modified electric plan which would “replace and modernize” existing infrastructure, a storm

water drainage project which would attempt to increase funding to fix failures before they occur and a “Renew Capital Improvement Sales Tax,” which would add another quarter cent onto the existing sales tax until December 2015.

The sales tax would be used with the hopes of updating fire stations and equipment, adding police precincts and improving road and sidewalk maintenance.

“With what we expect, as far as what taxes and fees we receive versus what we have approved to spend, we should have a balanced budget within the next few years,” Trapp said.

Voting for the implementation of the public safety tax, as well as the development fee for roads, will open in November.

City expands solar fields, despite mayor’s dissent

ZACH BAKER | SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Solar panels are visible Monday on the roof of the University Power Plant. The City of Columbia is looking into implementing more solar panels in the city.

RUTH SERVEN Staff Writer Solar energy advocates are excited about a proposed expansion of Columbia’s solar fields, but some have raised fears about the project’s feasibility amid the city’s budget woes.

“We are looking to expand solar utility projects,” said Connie Kacprowicz, spokesperson for Columbia Water and Light. “With the federal tax incentives and solar rebates, we’ve seen a big increase in interest from Columbians.”

The City Council voted Sept. 2 to appropriate $500,000 to expand the West Ash solar fields, with the remainder of the $600,000 coming from rate increases to utilities in 2015. Fifth Ward councilwoman Laura Nauser and Mayor Bob McDavid cast dissenting votes in the 5-2 decision and raised fears about

Voting for taxes to appear on November ballot PAIGE LALAIN Staff Writer With the end of the current fiscal year approaching, the City of Columbia has created a new budget plan for fiscal year 2015, officially beginning Oct. 1. The budget will feature spending cuts, an increase in rates, and the overall goal of eliminating the deficit and reaching a balanced budget.

The city is looking to spend an estimated total $429 million and to pull in an estimated $399 million in revenue, according to the City Council Finance Services’ fiscal year 2015 budget report. In order to achieve this near-balance, a number of changes have been made to the deficit spending budget plans of the past.

as we gather more information,” Missouri coach Kim Anderson said in a statement. “We have high standards for the conduct of our student-athletes and expect much more from them as members of our program.”

All three men were released on bond, according to police records.

Police records show that there were three victims in the incident, which occurred at Eighth and Elm streets. The records also show there was a witness to the incident.

The names of the witness and victims were held as confidential.

The three men are being charged with misdemeanors.

ESPN ranked Gant, a four-star recruit from Springfield, Georgia, as the 53rd-best player in the country in the class of 2014 and the best player in Georgia.

Allen, a three-star recruit from Dallas, was the No. 1 player in Texas, according to ESPN.

resident and Opus protester Jeffery Frey said. “We want to overturn this construction and make it so that it is something that people want and that the community wants, not just the product of out-of-town interests having their way.”

Some of this opposition, listed on the “Protest Opus” flyer distributed by protesters, points out that “Columbia has enough upscale student housing,” “the city sewer adequacy for Opus in our downtown will not be accomplished until 2016,” noting that Opus plans to house students as early as 2015 and the “overabundance of expensive student housing is changing the character” of downtown Columbia, making many feel reportedly “unwelcome.”

Along with these points, it

The final option is to label the entire building as radioactive and demolish it, which would cost about $10.7 million and take nearly five years.

Ward said it is possible that the building may not be habitable even after the remediation.

is also listed that volunteers have twice gathered adequate voter signatures on initiative petitions to allow the Opus project to be placed on the November ballot for a formal vote.

“I think that City Council has not handled this,” Frey said. “They have been heedless of the will of the people, of the community and of their constituency. They’ve been greedy, they’ve sold out to Opus, to out-of-town developers. I understand that students need housing, but we need sewage; the infrastructure can’t handle this.”

In a previous Maneater article published on April 30, local attorney Jeremy Root, who backed the petitions to ban Opus, detailed his perception of the apparent “danger, recklessness and irresponsibility” of approving a development project without the certainty that it will be supported from an infrastructure standpoint.

Root added that if Columbia has a current problem with infrastructure, it should refrain from creating additional developments and running the risk of overloading the system.

“There are so many more important things to allocate our funding to as a city,” junior Marcus Thurmond said. “(This project) is only serving to take away the finances and sustainability of our community by charging these outrageous prices for students to live in college. We aren’t supposed to have the best of the best right now at this point in our lives, and we really need to come together and think about how we are going to sustain our community as it is. “ Allowing this number of undergraduate students to reside in this area will change the dynamic of downtown Columbia, protesters said.

“We need to realize that (students) are just a part of this town, and there are other

people in this town that need affordable housing,” said Aaron Johnson, a graduate student who attended the protest. “It’s very important to me that we not only have these affordable housing options, but also that democracy is listened to, and during this process I don’t feel that democracy was listened to

by City Council.”

The organization said in its flyer that along with hundreds of other residents and local lawyers, it will continue to push for this project to be stopped and for the Opus Development Group to be turned away from Columbia, highlighting that they will not give up until they have exhausted “all avenues that our democracy promises.”

“If we don’t get out here and do something, we’re not going to get anything done,” protester and Columbia resident Victor Chapman said.

another 5-10 years, something else will not come back.”

Ward said it is unclear which option will be most viable at this time because the tests done so far are “inconclusive.” Because most of the radiation is in the wooden walls and structure of the building, further testing will need to be completed.

There are two steps for MU to take before decommissioning the building.

First, MU must submit a characterization plan, which identifies the contaminants and their origins, to the Nuclear Regulatory Committee

by March 31, 2015.

Ward said MU will hire a consulting firm, which will be paid between $75,000 and $250,000, by Oct. 10 to help

draft the plan.

It could take the NRC up to a year to review and approve the plan. Ward said MU will implement the full survey of the building, which could cost $1-5 million, once the plan has been approved.

He said results of the survey will be used to determine the appropriate decommissioning plan for Pickard.

MU spokesman Christian Basi said the university has been aware of the radiation since the 1970s.

“We have known about the building’s radiation for a long time, and we’ve been constantly monitoring it,” he said. “We feel that we have been taking a very proactive approach to make sure everyone is safe.”

The NRC ordered MU in 2009 to present a plan to decommission the building, which was used to study naturally-occuring radiation in the 1900s.

Radiation in the building has been measured at 13 millirem, which the NRC said was not a dangerous level. Ward said the groundwater beneath the building has probably not been contaminated.

The Museum of Art and Archaeolog y, which was previously housed in Pickard Hall, was relocated to Mizzou North, an off-campus building that was the former site for the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center.

The decision to move the museum off-campus was made

by Jackie Jones, former vice

chancellor for administrative affairs, and was met with heavy criticism from faculty and staff, who were not consulted during the process.

“Because we had to move due to radiation, the university was in a very difficult position because there was nowhere to move the museum as a whole,” Museum Director Alex Barker said. “It’s difficult because the collections needed to stay together and can’t be fragmented, and nobody knows what (the testing) will cost or what the time frame will be.”

Barker said the museum initially planned to reopen by the fall semester, but a delay in the moving process will likely keep the doors shut until late January.

of contracting and spreading the virus for all involved: the children who would be visiting and our patients,” said Robert Merrick, an epidemiologist at Blessing Hospital in Quincy.

Hannibal Regional Hospital has asked that children 16 and younger refrain from visiting.

Many patients have tested positive for Enterovirus D68, according to the health alert.

Enteroviruses, which usually bring about symptoms of an intense cold, are very common.

However, this particular strain has not been seen often. Signs of D68 that differ from other enteroviruses include severe coughing, difficulty breathing, a rash and sometimes fever or wheezing.

Local hospitals have yet to report any cases of the virus.

Children in Columbia seem to be staying relatively healthy, said Michelle Baumstark, community relations director for Columbia Public Schools.

“We have not had any significant absences or any absences related to the virus,” she said.

The school district hopes to continue to avoid any outbreaks with preventative measures. “ We are encouraging basically anything that would normally be recommended to stop the spread of illnesses,” Baumstark said.

Although younger children are more at risk of contracting this specific enterovirus, it is

important for MU students to practice preventative measures as well, especially as other respiratory illnesses seem to be spreading around the university.

“Student Health Center medical providers are seeing a number of students with upper respiratory illnesses with symptoms including fever, congestion, sore throat, cough and body aches,” said Susan Even, the Student Health Center’s executive director.

Even said the illnesses are not strep throat or mononucleosis, and that there is no way to identify them as Enterovirus D68. Since these respiratory illnesses are caused by viruses, there are no antibiotics

subscribed for treatment.

The Center for Disease Control recommends the following to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses: Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, especially after changing diapers; avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; avoid kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick; and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.

Students should seek health care for fevers over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or if other symptoms persist.

THE MANEATER | NEWS | SEPTEMBER 17, 2014

General Assembly overrides 11 Nixon vetoes JENNIFER PROHOV Staff Writer Last week, the Missouri Senate and House made national news after holding several veto override sessions.

Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, vetoed a record-breaking 33 bills at the end of the last legislative session.

Former Gov. John Dalton, a fellow Democrat, is the only Missouri governor to have vetoed more bills in a single session, with 35 vetoes in 1961.

Nixon vetoed several prominent bills, including HB 1307, SB 841, SB 523, and SB 656, which were overridden by the Missouri General Assembly last week.

The assembly overrode 11 of Nixon’s vetoes in total, the highest number since 1833. The assembly also overrode a record 47 line-item vetoes out of Nixon’s 120, most of which pertained to the state’s budget for the fiscal year. This is the most overrides of line-item vetoes in the state’s legislative history, which had previously been two.

HB 1307 was a House bill that created 72-hour waiting periods for women seeking an abortion.

It did not include an exception for rape or incest victims, which was Nixon’s main objection to the law. This missing provision created a great deal of controversy over the law. Despite this, Missouri lawmakers went ahead with the law, making Missouri one of the most restrictive states for abortion access to date.

Missouri now has the longest waiting period in the country, along with Utah and South Dakota.

However, Utah’s law includes a provision that makes exceptions for rape and incest victims. South Dakota’s law could be considered more extreme, as weekends and

holidays do not count toward the waiting period.

The previous laws regarding abortion waiting periods required women to wait 24 hours in between a consultation with their doctor or care provider and the actual procedure.

In Nixon’s veto letter of HB 1307, he strongly condemned the bill and its lack of a provision for victims.

“This glaring omission is wholly insensitive to women who find themselves in horrific circumstances, and demonstrates a callous disregard for their well being,” Nixon said in the letter.

“It victimizes these women by prolonging their grief and their nightmare. No woman should be further victimized by a government that forces her to endure even longer the horror that is the crime of rape.”

Nixon went on to exemplify how the bill creates bigger government.

“Underlying this bill, and the expansion of the governmental interference it would mandate, is a paternalistic presumption that rape and incest victims are somehow unable to grasp the horror that has befallen them and that government must force them to take more time to come to grips with their plight,” Nixon said in the letter.

The governor’s strong response and veto did not hold sway with Republicans, though, who control both the Missouri House with 110 members and the Senate with 23 members. They overrode the veto 23-7 in the Senate and 117-44 in the House.

Another prominent overridden veto was SB 656. This new law will allow open carry in all parts of Missouri, regardless of local municipality laws. Missouri’s past open-carry gun law allowed local governments to pass laws limiting open carry within their borders.

This directly applies to Kansas City, where in July, the city voted to ban all open carry. SB 656 renders this law obsolete.

This bill has also garnered national attention, in addition to HB 1307, for its prominence in the gun law debate across the country.

SB 656 also provides a pathway for teachers to be able to open carry in schools. The teachers must go through a safety course and additional training, totaling 124 hours. Teachers must participate in the training each year.

In addition, SB 656 lowered the age requirement for concealed carry from 21 to 19.

The legislative session also overrode the veto on SB 841, which is a bill requiring the restrictions imposed upon sellers and distributors of normal tobacco products to be extended to include these restrictions on alternative nicotine products or vapor products.

This will include requiring the buyer to be of 18 years age, requiring the sellers of these products to have a license and giving the Division of Liquor and Tobacco Control authority over these establishments. The bill also includes that alternative nicotine or vapor products will not be taxed or otherwise regulated as tobacco products.

SB 523, which was also overridden last week, prohibits school districts from requiring students to use IDs that contain radio frequency identification technology.

There has not been a single legislative session in the history of the United States Congress in which Congress has overridden 11 or more vetoes.

The highest number of overridden vetoes per president, over a four-year period, was Andrew Johnson, with 15.

The state General Assembly voted on Nixon’s vetoes of Senate and House bills.

The West Campus route found a major safety issue in a broken manhole cover.

The manhole lacked a lock and was bent in several areas, which would allow anyone access to the tunnels below.

“Students can get hurt, if it doesn’t get fixed,” assistant director of special projects Samantha Franks said. “It’s one of those things that happens probably overnight, and then it’s really hard to find. I think that was a good catch.”

Greek Town has been an ongoing issue in past safety walks. This year’s walk featured an emphasis on accessibility issues.

“The roads and sidewalks in Greek Town are very bad,”

Folk said. “We are hoping to talk with City Council to help improve that and get that on their radar.”

MU Campus Facilities staff were especially diligent in noting lighting outages and said they promised a quick fix. The consensus on lighting was that the newer, LED lights were preferred as they made the areas seem better lit.

“The lighting, in general, is probably the biggest allencompassing campus issue,” Franks said. “But they’re really responsive, so that’s nice.”

Each group was accompanied by at least one member of MUPD to “get people’s views on safety and to answer any questions people may have and address concerns,” MUPD

captain Brian Weimer said.

The results from this year’s Safety Walk will be compiled into an annual safety report, Folk said. “(This is sent out to) a ton of different people on campus, Campus Facilities, ResLife, MUPD,” Folk said. “Pretty much anyone that has a stake in keeping campus safe and could do anything to improve campus, it’s reported to. It’s also published on the MSA website. That way everyone on campus can know exactly what safety issues are on campus and hold everybody accountable for those."

“Being in the (network) allows our families to be in the cutting edge of critical care,” said Kristin Sohl, Thompson Center’s director of medical services. “We’re setting the best practice standards for autism care.”

Donna Murray, senior director of the network, said being part of the network lends the Thompson Center more prestige.

Murray said approximately 7,000 children are registered at centers in the network, and eight of the 14 centers in the network are part of the top 10 children’s hospitals in the nation.

“Missouri has been a part of (the Autism Speaks network) for six years, and they are really one of our leaders,” Murray said. “They are an excellent site, and we’re very proud to have the Thompson Center as a member of our network.”

Murray said the center was founded in 2005 and joined the network in 2008.

Since then, the Thompson Center has adopted the “whole

care for the whole family” model, which is a part of the network’s effort to prioritize providing treatment for autism patients and providing families of patients with support and guidance.

“We don’t just diagnose then say ‘adios,’” Sohl said.

“It’s much more than that.”

The Thompson Center exhibits its motto of “whole care” in many ways.

Family resource specialists are also assigned to patients from the moment they are diagnosed, checking up on them as necessary and guiding the family on the journey as their child or family member’s disorder progresses.

The center’s personnel and parents of patients provide workshops and lectures to further affected families’ knowledge of autism.

Alicia Curran, a Thompson Center coordinator whose child was diagnosed with autism in 2003, said the whole care model allows the center to go beyond just treating the family.

“It’s just not about the kiddo; it’s about the whole family,” she said. “Staying on top of all the research and treatments really is going to best serve us.”

Maness, a graduate assistant for the Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention Center, said. “It was difficult to gain convenient access to the front of the building; there was only basement access.”

Parker Hall currently houses the MU Counseling Center, Maness said.

“On Hill Hall, they had a disability sticker but there’s no button,” said Samantha Chambers, safety coordinator for Student Services.

The sticker indicates that

there should be a button that would open a door to the hall if someone were unable to open it him or herself. Hill Hall also had two unmarked doors as well.

The emergency call buttons, known as the blue light system, were another large concern. These call buttons offer direct lines to the MU Police Department, in case a student ever feels unsafe while on campus.

A blue light is designed so that at least one is seen anywhere on campus. However, many Safety Walk participants said they believe there should an increase in the number of blue lights, and several noted that the blue lights should be replaced as they faded to

Converting the unconvertible LILY CUSACK

Imagine, for a moment, that you are sitting in a therapist’s office, pouring out your worries and fears and feelings to them. You have a lot of faith that they will help you feel better.

Now imagine them denouncing your feelings and forcing you to change who you are because you don’t fit their “model” of a normal human being, and when you can’t, they assure you that it needs to be done.

The one person you trust calls you a failure in life.

This is what “gay conversion therapy” attempts to do for minors.

It is an unexplained wonder how this type of “therapy” is legal in so many states. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, almost 70 therapists practice conversion therapy in 20 states and Washington, D.C. Their website also states that these “therapists” seek to change the sexual orientation of minors, with patients reporting an increase in anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.

How is something that violates and takes advantage of a person’s privacy not illegal in the U.S.? These people are trying to forcibly and fundamentally change a person’s way of life, and, in the meantime, they are doing more harm than good. As explained, this type of ‘therapy’ can lead to an increased amount of mental instability. They are advocating the spread of mental illnesses. Putting someone else’s life in danger, whatever method, should always be illegal.

Thankfully, some states are taking steps in solving this crisis. A unanimous panel on the Third Circuit voted to uphold New Jersey’s ban on gay conversion therapy last Thursday. Reuters states that this is the second ban in the country after California, which banned this practice in 2012. This is an important step toward progress in solidifying equal rights for everyone.

It is especially essential to note that the federal appeals court upheld this ban in these two states numerous times. Not only are the state governments displaying their ideals on this issue publicly, the federal government is also taking a stance.

Hopefully, the bans that these two states imposed and the backing of the federal courts will inspire other states to enact similar laws. These lawmakers are not only making sure that therapists are not harming their patients, they are also sending a message to the rest of the country that gay conversion therapy is not OK. It is extremely harmful and hurts the psychological health of the minors that have to go through with it.

This type of therapy has been a barricade to the widespread acceptance of different sexual orientations.

If there exists a type of therapy that claims that sexual orientation can be changed, people are less open and willing to grasp what the concept of LGBT is. They may be more inclined to vote against the case of equal rights because they believe that these labels do not mean anything. Destroying gay conversion therapy is the first step in destroying the notion that sexuality can be altered by outside forces.

Gay conversion therapy is a backwards practice that is advertised by inexperienced and careless people against equal rights for those who identify on the LGBT scale. We may not know why these people feel the need to attempt to change another person’s sexuality, but we do have plenty of evidence to prove that what they are doing does not correlate with the laws and ideals of this country.

If the federal government refuses to learn anything more from the recent upholding of the ban in New Jersey, I hope that 49 states are inspired to make a change in their own legislations.

‘Enough is Enough’ is not quite enough Making a video is one step, but making a difference is much harder than that.

Tuesday morning, the Missouri Students Association sent a message to the student body via email and social media containing a video entitled “Enough is Enough.”

The video addressed several misconceptions surrounding sexual assault and rape, including “‘Enough saying ‘She was drunk’; ‘All guys want it,’” etc.

MSA reached out to multiple key on-campus groups, such as the LGBTQ Resource Center and Greek Life, along with faculty members such as Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs and LGBTQ Resource Center coordinator Struby Struble.

First of all, we would like to recognize MSA’s effort to fight sexual violence on campus with this video. The video showed that these situations are preventable if students simply stand up and do something. We appreciated the use

of familiar faces such as Struble and former MSA President Mason Schara. Using faces that students can recognize makes the situation more personal, and helps students understand how the situation affects their lives. It was well done, and we appreciate the effort you put in.

That being said, a video isn’t going to change a campus.

We don’t want to see “Enough is Enough” become just another short-lived social media campaign to raise awareness about sexual assault. The video contained a strong message but not a lot of facts. The time to educate people about rape was yesterday, so we want to see MSA and the rest of campus take some action now.

Sexual education that includes sexual harassment is something that this campus severely lacks, and we see an opportunity for MSA, and for the university, to make a difference on campus.

We recommend that MU start putting students through proper sexual assault prevention training.

It needs to begin with MSA senators, members of the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic

Association and even the MU administration. Educate campus leaders and role models on the subject of rape and sexual assault so they can pass down their knowledge and provide an example to students.

Consider creating a sexual assault class that students are required to take. Spread more awareness about Green Dot, since most students haven’t heard anything about this program since Summer Welcome.

Create more resources for students to be able to learn about what constitutes rape, consent and various situations that are considered rape.

Administrators, we realize that you are making large strides with changing MU’s Title IX policies.

We recognize and appreciate your efforts in creating a better system.

But Title IX is what students are supposed to turn to after they’ve been assaulted. We’re moving in the wrong direction if we’re starting with what to do in a post-rape situation. Focus your efforts on preventing rape in the first place.

We agree with MSA that enough is enough. So let’s actually do something to combat sexual assault and rape on campus.

Three women’s perspectives on dating men From bro tanks to bad texting, guys can’t seem to do anything right.

BEN BROWN

The following took place at an all-female apartment.

The identities of those involved have been changed for their own protection.

Ben: Do you guys mind if I ask you a few questions about what you don’t like about guys? Because, from my point of view, it seems like girls are always complaining about men.

Jennifer: I don’t think we are always complaining; they just do certain things that can get annoying.

Haley: Yeah. I don’t hate men or anything. I just don’t understand why they do certain things.

Katie: I don’t understand why they can’t dress themselves. There are, like, four articles of men’s clothing. It is very easy for them to look nice, but they still mismatch colors and choose wrong sized shirts.

Haley: Exactly! Also, a t-shirt and gym shorts are not an outfit.

I’m sure it is comfortable, but why would you think you are going to impress anyone with that?

That is what a 4-year-old wears.

Jennifer: Also please don’t wear a bro tank on a date. One time, a guy came to pick me up for a date in a tank top and jeans. I spent a good hour getting ready, and it looked like he just got done mowing his yard.

Haley: Well, I want guys to look nice, but I don’t really want them to spend more time getting ready than I do.

Katie: Right? His hair shouldn’t have more product in it than mine.

Jennifer: Also, if you can’t grow facial hair, then don’t grow facial hair!

Haley: Oh-my-gosh-I-know.

It seriously looks like something died on some of their faces.

Katie: Or like they are some sort of sexual predator.

Jennifer: Like, can you not see how you look? That crustache does not look good on you.

Katie: And why are they so bad at texting?

Haley/Jennifer: They are so bad at texting!

Katie: Guys are either always texting you paragraphs, or texting you one word every four hours.

There is no middle ground.

Haley: Are they always

multitasking when they are texting?

And they only have time for two-word responses? If you are busy playing video games, then don’t text me.

Jennifer: But I cannot stand it when a guy is an overly attached texter. It’s like, “I’m at work. Can I get some space?”

Haley: Also, I hate the small talk they try to make.

Katie: Seriously, it is OK not to talk if you don’t have anything to say.

Katie: But no matter how much they text you, they will still never really open up to you. They are, like, emotionally stunted.

Jennifer: And they have no common sense.

Katie: Absolutely none. That is a dangerous combination.

I am going to stop at this point. I only ended up asking the one question for the entire interview. That one question got two hours' worth of responses.

Men, women have a lot to say about us, but there was an overarching theme: When a guy isn’t genuine, it leads to problems.

When you are talking to girls, take a real interest in their lives; don’t try and fast track a relationship; try to open up to them; let yourself be vulnerable. But bottom line, just be you out there — unless being yourself involves wearing a bro tank.

Suffering Political Mudblood Syndrome Many Americans don’t believe in Obama’s plan to defeat ISIS, but they should.

EDNA SMITH

JORDAN MCFARLAND

Let's make it three for three in terms of consecutive weeks of referencing a Comedy Central political pundit because, well, this whole ISIS thing is making a mockery of consistency.

First, we go to war to rid of the terrorist group al Qaeda. Then, screaming the word “victory,” President George W. Bush thought it’d be a good idea to stick around and build a democracy. The fighting continued year after year and then President Obama pulled troops out of Iraq, feeling confident the Iraqi army, supplied with American equipment, could hold down the fort.

Now that we’re in college and living on our own, it is up to us to take responsibility for all of our actions and decisions. Whether it is deciding to not post — or post — something controversial on social media or deciding whether to go to class or sleep in, we’ve all made decisions.

One of the biggest decisions we all have to make is to choose to educate ourselves or choose to stay uninformed.

Honestly, I don’t know why anyone would choose the latter, but for some strange reason, people do it.

According to an article written by the Huffington Post this June, “the troubles lie in the cult of ignorance and anti-intellectualism that has been a long-standing part of American society and which has become increasingly evident and powerful in recent years...”

So to break that down into something more bite-sized, people are choosing to blind themselves from what’s going on in the world.

M

M M M M

M M M M

If the fact that willful ignorance is a growing problem today doesn’t make your skin crawl, you might as well go make friends with Voldemort, because you are clearly deranged. Only the darkest of magic can put you under such a powerful spell that makes you choose to stay uninformed.

Don’t worry, “He Who Must Not Be Named” only applies to Voldemort, so you won’t get shunned if you contribute something intelligent and informative in your next class, I promise.

To help you get the picture of why I’m making such a big deal about this topic, I’d like to draw your attention to a quote from Thomas Jefferson: “Five percent of the people think; ten percent of the people think they think; and the other 85 percent would rather die than think.”

Ignorance is bliss? I think we need to change that saying to 'death is bliss.'

Being uneducated about what is going on in the world around you is completely unacceptable, especially in today’s society. If you’re choosing not to inform yourself — and no, checking to see if a new funny cat video was posted on YouTube doesn’t count — you might as well give any bit of technology you own to a 6-year-old, because odds are, they probably know how to use it better than you.

In a society where the majority of people can’t form a well-educated opinion about something, we’re

basically a bunch of blind pigs leading each other straight into the Big Bad Wolf ’s oven. We’re never going to get anywhere as a unified country if we choose to be lazy, or according to Thomas Jefferson, die.

One of the worst forms of ignorance also comes in the form of making jokes of serious issues.

Now, you might think, “Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert make those jokes all of the time on their shows.” False! Their jokes are actual satire, and meant to bring about change, or at least call attention to how stupid some things going on in the world actually are.

The jokes that young adults — it physically pains me to say my peers — are making aren’t satirical jokes, because they’re meant to gain personal attention, not to bring about change. These “jokes” are just terrible episodes of word vomit accredited to the ignorance that makes up the majority of our country.

If we can all just take a moment to truly educate ourselves, that would make not only me, but the other 5 percent of our population much more happy, and dare I say raise the percentage of thinkers.

Crazy, I know, but try it out. If you’ve got the Education Patronum on your side, you won’t die, I promise.

It’s my word versus Voldemort’s, and here’s an incentive to side with me: I actually have a nose and people don’t want to kill me.

It’s your choice, though. What will you do?

2004 presidential candidate couldn’t win on the promise of strong diplomacy then, let's hope, 10 years later, he can win now.

Further beneath the muck of ISIS lays the definition of what exactly it is. “Is it an Islamic jihadist group?” is the question of the day. Allow me to leave my footprint in the mud, if you will.

ISIS is not an Islamic extremist group because ISIS is not Islamic.

They are savages. They are violent textbook terrorists. They are dead.

Seventy percent of Americans, according to NBCnews.com, don’t believe the US will accomplish its goals against ISIS. I say this: If you cannot believe in the US to thwart this threat, then what are we doing but awarding ISIS its victory? Do we really believe them to be better than the US military? I think not. I know not.

I refuse to believe anything less.

Don't believe in Obama all you want. But believe in the boys going abroad and believe in the nation, because if you don’t, you have nothing. If you don’t believe, ISIS wins, and we’re not a nation of losers. After all, it is red, white and you, isn’t it?

Amanda Bynes does a great shrill scream, and in the film “Easy A," you can see her at her shriekiest best when her character discovers that her boyfriend has a sexually transmitted infection.

“Chlamydiaaaaa?!?!?” She bellows furiously about 58 minutes into the film, in a tone of terror that’s unable to accurately represent with mere question and exclamation marks (though maybe that screaming emoji could work).

It’s a great scene in a great movie, but I’d never given it much thought until one cold, rainy March morning when I was standing outside the Arts and Science building, a few days after I’d gone to the doctor for what I thought was a yeast infection. Now the nurse was calling me with the results from the STD test I’d flippantly decided to toss in while at the doctor’s. In that instant, I could clearly hear Amanda’s voice screeching in my head. It sounded a lot like my own voice.

“Chlamydiaaaa?!?!?”

The MU Student Health Center nurse on the other end sounded calm but sure. She paused, took a breath and then asked me when I could stop by to pick up the medication.

I wanted to puke. I felt like the most disgusting, trashy piece of vomit ever spewed upon the earth. How could I have chlamydia? I’d been sleeping with one guy. I’d made him use a condom every time. Hell, I’d always used a condom, every time. I had been so good.

Shaking, I stalked down the sidewalk toward the Student Health Center, holding back tears. It was so unfair. I was the last person on earth who should have gotten an STI. I was the Rory Gilmore type, who had gotten good grades, who stayed away from dangerous Jess-esque guys in favor of the Deans of the world, who took her birth control pill religiously, and who’d even been vice president of her church youth group once.

The voice of Coach Carr, the unintended role model for sex education of our “Mean Girls”-obsessed generation, rang in my ear. Don’t have sex...You will get chlamydia. And die. I quietly, irrationally prepared to die.

Luckily, Coach Carr had it wrong, and I didn’t die.

Instead, I picked up a little white paper bag from the Student Health Center that afternoon, swallowed the singular pill inside, went on studying for economics that night and then celebrated my birthday a few days later.

So having chlamydia, in hindsight, was laughably un-dramatic. It didn’t hurt (okay, yeah, things were itchy). The one-time pill I took was less expensive than a Plan B, and it wasn’t even a social-life-killing antibiotic.

The worst part was just facing myself in the mirror that night, wondering if maybe this all made me a fivestar slutbag who didn’t deserve love or the pleasure of innocently watching “Easy A” ever again. According to the CDC, an estimated 2.86 million chlamydia infections occur annually, and 1 in 15 sexually active teenage girls have it. I wish I’d known that. I also wish I hadn’t blamed my partner at first, even though he was older and supposed to be wiser and not too terrified, when I finally called him with the news, to be much comfort.

Obviously, having chlamydia will go straight to the list of “Things I Won’t Tell My Parents Until The Earth Disintegrates And Our Atoms Explode,” but luckily, having the most supportive friends — including the ones who cluelessly but goodheartedly asked if chicken soup would help — made me realize that having chlamydia didn’t make me any different of a person than having a cold did.

So, yes, having an STI was embarrassing. It made me acutely aware of all the free STD screenings on campus (because, just FYI, the Student Health Center is not exactly free lunch), and just generally way more cautious about penises. Which, you know, isn’t exactly a bad thing.

Love, Edna

Hint, hint: they didn’t. So now what?

It seems that we are stuck in some mudblood sort of confusion over whether or not the President has the authority — which, surprise, he says he does — and over whether or not we’re actually at war. Yes, that scary word; two consonants, one vowel, and a whole lot of money, time and commitment.

One thing does seem sure of all of this, though: save Syria, the world thinks ISIS is a bunch of bloody bastards. Per The New York Times, Secretary of State John Kerry noted that seven Arab states have offered to aid the US militarily in the conflict.

The mud confusion doesn’t end there. Obama is authorizing airstrikes on ISIS within Syrian borders after Obama backpedaled from raids on Syria last year. This has Russia citing that any US airstrike on Syria without UN backing would be an act of aggression.

In the middle of all of this, Kerry is scouring the Middle East for allies aimed at not only militarily combating ISIS, but cutting it off from its oil black market in Turkey, a major source of its revenue. While the unsuccessful

St. Lucia frontman Jean-Philip Grobler was not your typical 10-yearold. When he wasn’t touring the world with the Drakensberg Boys Choir, he was attending boarding school in the South African mountains, swimming in rivers and making music in his free time.

As I strolled into the ginormous strip of land that makes up Forest Park in St Louis on Sept. 7, I could feel the familiar aroma of excitement found only at music festivals. I was attending LouFest, an annual two-day music festival in its fifth year, and I could tell it was to be a memorable day.

The festival set up shop on Central Field and spaced out an area made to fit four stages, two strips of food vendors, an abundance of bathrooms and, on Sunday, a record-breaking crowd of 19,000 attendees. The logistics of the setup matched perfectly with the size of the crowd and venue, and fans graciously basked in the friendly festival “good vibes or no vibes” mentality that seems to have made a stop in nearly every state this summer.

Unlike massive festivals such as Chicago’s Lollapalooza and Manchester, Tennessee’s Bonnaroo, LouFest has a much calmer atmosphere with a low level of belligerency or claustrophobia.

Its basic elements are unlike most other American music festivals, with overpriced food and drink vendors, beautiful men and women flaunting stylish-while-durable attire and, you know, good music. LouFest has grown so much since its founding that it was able to attract the hottest commodity in this season’s festival circuit: Outkast.

The legendary Southern-style rap duo headlined a jam-packed Sunday that also included British triphop crooners Glass Animals, eccentric indie-rockers Portugal. The Man and a boisterously sloppy Matt and Kim. Sunday also included Grouplove, Trombone Shorty, Cherub and more.

After deciding to make a career of his talents, Grobler moved to England at the age of 19 to study music at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Post-graduation, Grobler took up a job writing jingles for a company in Brooklyn, New York.

Shortly after, he began experimenting with his own music in the studio. Grobler then teamed up with friends Nick Brown, Ross Clark, Patricia Beranek and Nicky Paul, and St. Lucia was born.

Tired of the alternative rock scene, Grobler decided to go back to his roots for inspiration.

“The music that I used to make

had an alternative rock kind of influence, and, you know, at some point I started getting frustrated doing it,” he says. “I just felt like I was kind of hitting a brick wall the whole time.

“Not because of that, but as a reaction to that, I started expanding my music listening variety, like listening back to the music that I loved when I was a kid. (I listened to) ‘80s music, a lot of world music in general and a lot of African music.”

Even before hearing the music, one can get a good understanding of the

Readers turning a new (web)page Columnist Ellie Papadakis explains how the Internet is changing the way we read.

ELLIE PAPADAKIS Ah, finally some news to put us millennials in a positive light.

A new Pew study found that young adults are more likely than their elders to have read a book in the past 12 months.

Overall, 88 percent of Americans under the age of 30 read a book in the past year, compared with 79 percent of those age 30 and older, according to the study.

When I was younger, my parents would yell at me to get off the computer and “go read a book, or something.” I used to read a lot and I still read quite a bit, but as I’ve gotten older, I seem to be spending more time on the web than with a book.

That said, I don’t think the Internet is harming the way millenials read — it’s enhancing it.

I mean, technically you read Facebook, which you can argue is the simplest form of online reading, but it still counts. If we’re really going to talk about how the Internet has changed reading, though, we need to talk about YouTube and Twitter.

The most prominent example of an author with a huge online presence is John Green. Yes, he’s been around for a while, but he didn’t really start to become well-known until “The Fault in Our Stars,” which is now starting to feel like one of the most over-talked-about young adult books ever.

Arguably, if he didn’t have such a huge online presence with his various YouTube channels, his book wouldn’t have gained the audience (or the movie) that it has. Not only that, he is also very prominent on Twitter and interacts often with his audience, which is primarily made up of young adults. Through these virtual interactions, it feels like Green is creating a personal relationship with everyone, and suddenly his books start to feel more realistic and personal, too.

Let’s not forget that the “booktube” community has been around for a while, too. It’s so easy for someone to get online and vlog about a book they really liked for three minutes. If they have a large number of subscribers, such as Sanne Vliegenthart from “booksandquills,” at least a handful of fans will pick up her recommended novels.

It also seems like publishing companies are creating the idea that those with a strong online presence, like Alfie Deyes and Grace Helbig, would make good authors as well because of their already established, young and impressionable audience.

Whether or not that assumption will prove true, only time and The New York Times Bestseller list will tell.

In other words, the Web is enhancing reading by creating conversation. People can make virtual book clubs, share book reviews and talk about their favorite characters with a click of a button. And for me, at least, talking about a good book is the best part.

It’s important to note that Pew found that even though millennials are reading a lot, many of them think that their libraries are not that important.

Only 19 percent of people under 30 said that a local library’s closing would have a big impact on them, compared with 32 percent of elders.

If you were to ask me if I think libraries are important, I would say yes without any hesitation.

But I’m a stickler for the old-fashioned, apparently.

With the advent of e-books and tablets and iPads, it’s hard to say what will happen to these book havens in the future.

I guess in that sense, books are a bit like journalism. Not because they’re black and white and read all over, but because of the way that they’re consumed and the way that we talk about them.

Reading isn’t dying. It’s just changing.

COURTESY NICOLE HEYDEN

Atlanta’s Electric Sons will play at The Blue Note on Sept. 19.

Electric Sons hit Blue Note “It’s gonna be wild and crazy,” lead singer Andrew Miller says.

ELANA WILLIAMS Reporter What do you get when you combine “Archer” and advertising?

Well, a kick-ass commercial, presumably, but also a pretty awesome alt-electro-synth-indie mashup music-making duo.

The Electric Sons’ frontmen Andrew Miller and Ben Richards both had very different lives before deciding to drop everything and focus on their band. Miller was an illustrator for the show “Archer” and Richards was an advertising graduate student.

In 2012, as their band started becoming more popular and they started playing shows in venues other than their college’s student center, Miller and Richards decided to abandon their previous lives and fully commit to The Electric Sons.

We’re glad they did, too, because now The Electric Sons is coming to Columbia.

The band recently released their second EP, “Chromaesthesia.” (We looked it up, and chromaesthesia is when a non-visual stimulus causes an individual to perceive color where there is none.)

Miller says the title of the EP just popped out at him, similar to the way lyrics of songs do.

“Everything’s foggy at first,” he says. “We try and find stepping stones from song to song … catching little bits of color and things that pop out at us.”

It’s Miller and Richards’s goal to express themselves more colorfully than they did previously.

“I’m really proud of the job we did,” Richards says.

For a band that does all of their own mixing and producing, an EP is a long, but rewarding endeavor.

The band kicked off their tour with St. Lucia, sponsored by Red Bull Sound Select, Monday in Ohio, and are very excited for the remainder of their dates together, along with the touring they’ll be doing the remainder of the year.

“It’s gonna be wild and crazy,” Miller says. “It’ll be really cool because we’re playing all cities that we’ve never actually played in before.”

Miller, who sings lead, plays guitar and periodically plays a “small piano,” is very excited to be playing with St. Lucia, a longtime Instagram buddy.

“We’re old social media friends,” Richards says of the band, who they’d never actually met in person before the tour.

Richards plays a fairly new role in bands of today: programmer.

In addition to playing keyboard, singing backup and the drum that he “hit(s) with a stick occasionally,” Richards really pays attention to the electro aspects of other artists’ work.

“I like the rest of Gotye’s album,” Richards says, excluding the popular “Somebody That I Used To Know.”

“Just in terms of programming,” he says. “I think he uses the same stuff I do … Listening to someone that does that really, really well like he does is a treat.”

Miller says he’s partial to Gorillaz, Frank Ocean and has recently rediscovered Sia. Although the band has been together, in a sense, for two years, Miller and Richards both consider it to be in its early stages.

“There’s a lot of obstacles you have to overcome when you’re forming a band,” Miller says. “It’s kind of difficult to stick with it …

You want to be playing in front of these huge crowds of people but you’re not and it can be frustrating.”

They’ve been picking up steam lately, though, and Richards says the hardest part is maintaining relationships. He says that it’s important to make sure to hang out together instead of just working.

“It’s been the biggest challenge, but I think we’ve done a good job of it,” he says.

When asked who they’d most like to tour with, Miller’s immediate answer was Beethoven. After a lengthy narrative about a lone organ on stage, lasers and the like, the pair added that they’d also love to tour with Phoenix or Foster the People.

See them with St. Lucia on Sept. 19 at The Blue Note. Tickets are $5 at the door or free if you RSVP online.

but never took the time for it, and I know that I’m not the only student who just crossed their fingers in hopes their hard drive would keep trucking.

So this week I talked to Kevin Bailey from MU’s Division of Information Technology and learned the best way for BRAD students to backup everything on their SPUDICH computers. It took minimal effort, it was fast and now I finally have peace of mind knowing that all of my files are safe.

MU now offers students, staff and If your hard drive crashes and faculty a free Box account, a file storage you lose all of your files, there’s and cloud system that lets you update a good chance you will be, as IT your files from anywhere and then backs specialists call it, “shit out of luck.” them up for you automatically. All you It’s important to back up your need to do is request an account from computer, and luckily, it’s really easy to myservices and then set up BoxSync.

Box gives you 30 gigabytes of do. Like most people, a good portion of my life is stored on my computer, and if space to backup your most important my hard drive failed, I would probably files, and you can keep your account fail out of school, lose all of my photos, forever (even after graduation). Thirty cry, question my existence, etc, etc. gigabytes probably isn’t enough for I knew I should have everything everything on your computer, so Bailey on my computer backed up, but suggested ranking files by importance.

I used Box to back everything I I didn’t. I always planned to do it,

use for school. Boxsync automatically updates, so any time you type your notes and save them, they’re backed up.

Box is great for projects that you will work on continuously because you can save them and then they’re backed up.

From there, there are quite a few backup systems to look into. Bailey recommends using a local backup service (there’s CrashPlan, iDrive, Carbonite and plenty of resources online — use whatever you’re comfortable with) and an external hard drive for double reassurance. I used an external hard drive and downloaded CrashPlan, which gave me a free data backup. Once you back up to an external drive, you will have your important files in the box and everything else in a local drive.

As you continuously update what is stored on your hard drive, you want to back it up. How often you back it up is up to you, but I like to keep a routine of backing it up once a week to be safe.

To ensure that your data is safe, back up with one of the many available online backup services. They’re not expensive, and, if you can afford a computer, you can afford a cheap back up plan.

Soup up!

THE MANEATER | MOVE | SEPTEMBER 17, 2014 ALEASE LEE Staff Writer

MOVE taste-tests CoMo’s soup offerings (hard work, we know).

Have you stepped outside lately? The weather has changed drastically in such a short time span (it’s not like we are shocked or anything — welcome to Missouri).

What’s really on my radar this season is tomatoes, the colors green and burnt orange, ankle boots and soup, the dish of champions.

Addison’s American Bar & Grill 709 Cherry St. Head chef Cody Burnett makes a new, homemade soup every day from ingredients he has at the time. He rarely repeats a soup, besides the crowd pleasers. Whatever he feels like making, he makes. My companion and I stopped in to try the Spicy Tomato Basil Curry, and it was exhilarating. This is a pleasantly spicy soup — all of the spices balance each other out, creating a neutral tone to back up the kick of the tomato. If paired with pita bread, you’ve got yourself a kickin’ Indian-inspired soup sure to keep the insides warm this season. Not only is the soup wonderful, the customer service was great. The staff was very pleasant.

Price: cup: $3.25, bowl: $4.25

Uprise Bakery

10 Hitt St.

The soups of the day were spicy smoked tomato, a vegan dish, and gumbo, a vegetarian dish. It seems to be a trend going around CoMo — the humble tomato. (But who’s complaining? It’s great!) My friend and I sampled the two soups, both of great quality. The tomato soup was the milder one, but it had a little kick. The gumbo? Amazing! I wouldn’t even guess it was vegetarian.

Kaldi’s Coffeehouse

29 S. Ninth St.

If you are a vegan or vegetarian, Kaldi’s is a great option for you. Their vegan chili is delicious. The beans make it rich and hearty. If you’re not into the whole vegan thing, no worries. We also tried a French Onion Soup that made us a bit excited. They don’t always have the same soups, but something tells me I will make regular visits just to see what the special is.

Price: 8 oz.: $4.15 with flatbread

Main Squeeze

28 S. Ninth St.

This place is great for the vegetarian trying to get on the right track or someone just wanting to try something new. While their smoothies are delectable and their grilled cheese makes my insides elated, their soups are pretty rad. When I went, the special was local greens and garlic in a broth and organic chili. Kale greens and potatoes took over the green soup. Think of a much healthier version of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana — without the beef, of course. It was delicious! As for the organic chili, the tofu was subtle so it didn’t take away from the classic chili flavor we all love filled with corn, onion, beans, tomato and more. The staff is eclectic and friendly. (Also, follow their Instagram for a smile).

Wichita alt-rockers to play The Bridge on Friday Alt-rock quintet Vehicles to hit The Bridge on Friday.

LIZA ANDERSON Reporter On Friday, Vehicles, an alternative rock band hailing from Wichita, Kansas, will perform at The Bridge in downtown Columbia, making it the band’s first time back in Columbia since their last performance at The Blue Note about five years ago.

The Bridge will be one of Vehicles' many stops on their regional tour across the Midwest.

Lead singer Cody Cloud says Vehicles is influenced by bands like U2, Echo and the Bunnymen, Interpol and Mellowdrone.

“I mean, we’re mostly alternative rock,” he says. “But we’re also mixed with psychedelic and Space Jam vibes.”

The band of six years has just recently released its third record, “This Bluebird Wants Me Dead” on a new label with Naughty Dog Enterprises.

One of the main contributors to the album is producer Micajah Ryan, who has worked with artists such as Guns ‘N’ Roses, L.A. Guns and Bob Dylan.

“He recorded and produced our record for us,” Cloud says on Ryan. “J.J. Golden in Ventura, California, mastered it and put it out on vinyl. It was really exciting!”

MOVE re c e n t l y chatted with C loud about Vehicles’ new record.

MOVE: How does “This Bluebird Wants Me Dead” compare to your previous music?

Cloud: Our first record had a lot of layers and effects, and people have said our sound has become

more lyrically driven with heavier melodies. That wasn’t intentional, I guess, that’s just how it happened.

M: Is there a certain mood or message behind the album you were trying to convey?

C: A lot of the songs are about things that hold us back. Like in my case, my bluebird of happiness is playing music and playing live and sometimes I've allowed drinking and other things to almost take that happiness away from me. It is also an album about finding middle ground and not being so rigid in our own beliefs, like politics, art and music.

Vehicles clearly has a lot of raw talent and a very distinct sound that will draw listeners in and keep them jamming all night long. If you have a free night, a couple of friends and few bucks to spare they are definitely worth checking out.

COLUMN LUCIA Continued from page 13

Park Stage to be serenaded by the bashfully adorable British synth-lords Glass Animals, who drenched their listeners in a multi-layered, drippy psych-pop.

Starting off their U.S. tour that day, the up-and-comers singled out their followers in the crowd with gracious gestures and kept a consistently groovy energy level.

The twinkly, bass-heavy “Toes” was surprisingly their strongest, while the undeniably catchy “Pools” received the strongest reception.

Immediately following Glass Animals' set was Portugal. The Man, who offered the most versatile show of the day, opening with Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2,” only to transition into their hit single off of “Evil Friends,” “Purple Yellow Red and Blue.” From the first minute, the prog-indie rock band was an explosion of bellowing sound, with singer John Gourley demonstrating a remarkable falsetto over the weirdo-pop catchiness his group brought.

Its performance was both highenergy yet soothingly beautiful.

Its creative persona leaked into its set list, as the band played covers of beloved “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” song “Dayman” and Ghostface Killa’s “A Kilo,” while still packing in the songs that help make Evil Friends its best album like “Evil Friends” and “Atomic Man.” By the time Matt and Kim made their appearance, I had admittedly grown a bit exhausted from the general intensity a day of music and sun bring, and was hoping they would have a fantastic show.

Despite all the amazing things I had heard about the energy level and performance the band usually brings, Matt and Kim, unfairly plagued with a horrendous sound system, unfortunately leaked much entertainment.

Even though the technical difficulties weren’t their fault, they used most of the little time they actually played to, well, not play at all. They covered rap songs, they twerked and hyped the crowd — but they wouldn’t play!

Once the clock had finally hit 8:15, the reason for even getting a ticket came out. André 3000, dressed in a jumpsuit reading “Can one rest in peace and violence?” as a nod to the extreme hardships neighboring St. Louis suburb Ferguson has endured the past month, strode right into the opening lines of “B.O.B.” while Big Boi coasted onto the stage.

That opening drop was so electric the show could have ended there and I’d be fine. They instead chose to span their entire catalogue through an epic 24-song set.

From mega-classics “So Fresh, So Clean” and “Rosa Parks” to fan favorites “Prototype” and “Crumblin’ Erb,” Outkast, joined by an outstanding horn section and background singers, left Forest Park not knowing what hit it. After 20 years, the duo still manages to blow away a crowd with their indisputably élite rap delivery and astounding instrumentation.

All in all, the day proved to be excellent after three incredible performances and an overall phenomenal atmosphere. LouFest upheld the wonderful element only music festivals can contain, and is sure to continue to move toward bigger and better things.

band’s vibe simply from their name, a reference to Grobler’s childhood vacation spot.

“The idea of St. Lucia has sort of an exotic feeling when people think about it or when people hear that name,” he says. “That, to me, is what the music has as well.”

Grobler cites many artists

such as a laptop safe, Keurig coffeemaker and a valet service.

as sources of inspiration for St. Lucia’s newest album, “When The Night,” but one thing they all have in common is their ability to adapt. His diverse range of influences include David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Kanye West. “ T he y ’re con s t a nt l y challenging themselves,” Grobler says. “ That’s something I definitely aspire to myself.”

One thing Grobler refuses to do is put a label on his band. He sees St. Lucia as an amalgam of The Broadway 1111 E. Broadway Though we may call it The Broadway, this new hotel is actually a part of the Hilton hotel chain. Amenities include a workout room, spa and gift shop.

different genres that continues to grow and change alongside him. Grobler says the band’s sound isn’t static, and they’re always trying new things.

When it comes to touring, St. Lucia are no amateurs.

The band opened for Two Door Cinema Club and Ellie Goulding, co-headlined gigs with Charli XCX and are about to headline their very own The Night Comes Again tour.

So, what can fans expect from the show?

“We’re kind of using the The Gathering Place 606 S. College Avenue This bed and breakfast is a great place to go if you want some alone time or a quiet vacation. The Gathering Place is a great choice for your lodging needs while in CoMo with amenities like free wireless Internet, in-room climate control and off-street parking.

As an added bonus, guests are also granted access to MU Student Recreation Complex and the University Club dining area.

Red Bull show as a chance to sort of test out the new stuff that we plan on playing for the (upcoming) tour and see how it works,” Grobler says.

“It’s definitely going to be the first time we’ve played some of these songs, so it’s exciting.”

If you want to experience firsthand the ‘80s-inspired, exotic, nostalgic synth-pop that is St. Lucia, come check them out at The Blue Note on Sept. 19.

Doors open at 8 p.m., and the show begins at 9 p.m.

Offense scoring at ‘Mauk Five’ ANDREW MCCULLOCH Staff Writer

PLAYER TO WATCH Missouri Tigers #21 Bud Sasser While Indiana boasts a high-flying offense, its defense is suspect. The Hoosiers’ pass defense allowed 395 yards through the air last week to Bowling Green. Expect Sasser, a senior captain and Mizzou’s most targeted receiver this season, to put up gaudy numbers.

Indiana Hoosiers #6 Tevin Coleman Indiana will put up points, and most of them will come via Coleman. The junior running back has already rushed for 437 yards and five touchdowns this season. He’s a workhorse too, so Mizzou’s rush defense has to be on their toes.

PREDICTION Mizzou’s defense has been on a roll to start the season. Against an offense that averages 345 yards per game on the ground, the Tigers might bend, but won’t break. Expect a high-scoring affair in which Missouri pulls away during the second half.

said. “That’s where my work ethic has grown throughout my life. I feel like in 60 minutes, that’s something I can do each Saturday.”

Ray said part of his motivation to be great comes from wanting to be better than his father, who was a fifth-round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings.

“Not everything has been great (between us), but now (my father and I) have a really good relationship,” he said. “When it comes to football, we share that kind of passion and that’s always been something that’s driven me.”

Ray also gives credit for his dominance this season to his mother, the one who got him back into football in the first place.

“If you want to thank anybody for me being here, it’s definitely my mom,” he said.

“She put me in a situation to be successful.”

Even though he has already put up career numbers, Ray thinks he can be better.

“I have a hunger and I want to continue to see how far I can push myself,” Ray said. “I’m never satisfied with what I did last game or the game before because I know there’s a lot more I can do.”

Shane Ray quit football. Back in the fifth grade, Ray decided he was done with the sport.

Now, the lineman is well on his way to becoming Missouri’s single-season sack record holder.

Ray grew up in Kansas City, zip code 64130. That’s the nice way to put it. Search the Internet and you’ll find the nickname given to zip code 64130: “The Murder Factory.”

According to crime records, the area accounts for approximately 20 percent of Kansas City citizens who are imprisoned for murder or voluntary manslaughter.

Essentially, if people from the area didn’t make it big, they were written off, Ray included.

“I started getting in trouble in school, and a lot of kids in my city got lost in that stuff,” he said.

For much of middle school, Ray thought he was done with football, done with school, done with pretty much everything.

visit a school as academically prestigious as Notre Dame, so Ray chose to take a trip to South Bend, Indiana, to visit the campus.

However, Ray ultimately found his way to Columbia, where he felt like he belonged.

Defensive coordinator Dave Steckel said he saw a passionate, athletic person in Ray. Coach Gary Pinkel was particularly keen on Ray’s speed and drive. “(Ray) is a great competitor,” Pinkel said. “He flat-out gets after it, and it’s certainly great to have a guy like that on your defense.”

This season, Ray has bloomed into one of the nation’s top pass rushers. He currently leads the nation with 7.5 tackles for loss and is third nationally with 5.0 sacks. He was named the Southeastern Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week Monday after a 2.0 sacks against Central Florida last weekend.

“That’s one thing that’s good about college: The kids grow up right in front of your eyes,” Steckel said.

Ray’s goal this year is to break Mizzou’s single-season sacks record (11.5) held by Aldon Smith and Michael Sam. “I have high expectations for myself day in and day out,” Ray

More work for Mizzou volleyball The Tigers have committed 233 errors through 12 matches.

WILL JARVIS Staff Writer A week ago, things looked pretty grim for the Missouri volleyball team.

A lot can change in a week.

Following a disappointing five-game homestand, the Tigers traveled to Idaho with a 4-4 record on the season, but after a successful 4-0 weekend at the Idaho Nike Invitational, things are looking uphill.

With just two matches to go before heading into Southeastern Conference play, Mizzou still has issues to address. Mental mistakes have plagued the Tigers this season.

They’re averaging 19.42 errors per match.

The team’s 233 errors in 12 games have already surpassed the halfway mark of the total 422 errors last season’s squad had in 36 matches.

Missouri averaged 11.72 errors per match last year.

“We have a tendency to make critical mental mistakes,” coach Wayne Kreklow said. “Somebody forgets to be where they’re supposed to be, somebody forgets to rotate and they put the ball away.”

Mizzou also dropped the first set in seven of its first eight matches.

They ended that seven-set streak in Idaho, winning all four of their first sets in Idaho.

“We tend to take little breaks, mentally,” sophomore outside hitter Carly Kan said. “That’s really been hurting us lately. Everyone needs to be into the game at all times.”

The Tigers weren’t projected to repeat another 34-0 regular season like in 2013, but expectations were still high for Mizzou entering their third season in the SEC. Missouri has had difficulty

serving and passing have been sloppy, prohibiting any offensive consistency.

Kreklow stressed the importance of these two aspects of the game, saying in order to put any pressure on the other team, Mizzou’s serving has to be strong and the passing has to be able to set up kill opportunities.

“If we’re not serving and passing well, we’re a very average team,” he said.

While there are handfuls of statistics or theories explaining Missouri’s early season woes, senior Whitney Little said she thinks there may be one thing missing: fun.

“We go through games where we’re not having fun and those are the games where we don’t play our best,” Little said. “If we figure out our game and our play, then the fun and energy will come back and everything will come back together.”

Look at your Missouri Tigers, my friends.

After Saturday’s 38-10 casual dismissal of Central Florida, the Tigers are 3-0 and look very good heading into next Saturday’s game against the Hoosiers of Indiana.

Mizzou is No. 18 in the AP Poll. A 4-0 start is crucial, as the three-game stretch that follows — at South Carolina, home for Georgia, then at Florida — is by far the toughest stretch on the Tigers’ schedule this year.

My goal in writing this column is to help my handful of readers understand how lucky we are to be Mizzou football fans at the present time.

Remember, it was just two years ago when the Tigers lost to both Syracuse and Vanderbilt at home on their way to a 5-7 record and no bowl appearance in their first Southeastern Conference season. Now look how far we have come. The Tigers were in the preseason Top 25 coming off a fantastic AT&T Cotton Bowl victory; they’re legitimate contenders in the best conference in the country; Maty Mauk has a shot (albeit a long one) at the Heisman Trophy; the stadium just got another gorgeous facelift and I no longer wear t-shirts to tailgates. (I wish everyone could’ve seen me on Saturday, because I looked amazing.)

While it’s easy to only compare us to our SEC opponents and the forever-hated school located just one state to the west, it’s important that fans — especially students — appreciate how rare it is to be in a situation like the one we are currently in. I’ve got high school friends going to schools all over the country, and a lot of them aren’t lucky enough to even have a football program, much less a top-25 team in the SEC. A lot of them remain Mizzou fans since Missouri is their home state, but obviously that’s not the same as being on campus for every game day during football season.

Occasionally (not often enough) one of these friends will visit, and, no matter who it is, they always talk about how much fun they had before, during and after the game.

While I’m all about living up the tailgate scene and mooching as much food and drink as possible from my friend’s aunt’s coworker’s brother’s tailgate, there is no doubt that pregame festivities are much more enjoyable when our boys in black and gold are having a good season. For the second season in a row, it looks as though that’s exactly what the Tigers are going to do.

I’m not saying that I’m surprised by the success or that I had low expectations for the team coming into the season. Mizzou has an established, successful program under coach Gary Pinkel, and winning seasons resulting in prominent bowl appearances are nothing new to Tiger Nation. But to do so in the SEC is completely different.

I’m completely serious when I say I’m glad the Tigers had the season they had two years ago.

As brutal and frustrating as it was, it has made last season, and hopefully this season, that much sweeter.

replacing All-American Molly Kreklow. The setter averaged 12.65 assists per set last year. She also accounted for 1,480 of the team’s total 1,704 assists all year.

The setting duo of freshman Ali Kreklow and sophomore Loxley Keala has been fairly inconsistent thus far in the season, though they do help the team average 49.5 assists per match.

In order to compete against higher competition in the SEC like No. 10 Florida and No. 16 Kentucky, Mizzou will have to find a go-to player who can perform at the same level on a nightly basis.

So far, Wayne Kreklow has had a difficult time identifying that player, but following her performance this weekend, senior Emily Wilson made a strong argument for herself. The outside hitter won the Idaho Nike Invitational’s MVP award after she posted 72 kills over four matches, averaging four per set.

The other difficulty thus far has been playing in-system. Both

MAUK Continued from page 19

Mauk has thrown 12 total touchdown passes through three games, which ties him for the most in the nation.

Mauk has already thrown more touchdowns than he did last season, when he started four games and played in 13. And he’s done this with 77 pass attempts, just over half of the 133 he attempted all of last season.

Both Mauk’s play on the field and his box score numbers are starting to garner attention and draw comparisons to a former

played in goal, making her one of the most decorated players in Mizzou soccer history.

Having started in all but one of her games as an active player for the Tigers, the Texas native has received a number of intraconference awards, including Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Week and All-Tournament Team, along with Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

“McKenzie had to earn everything that she has done,” head coach Bryan Blitz said.

“She’s made the most of her ability and continued to strive

Southeastern Conference quarterback: Johnny Manziel.

But despite the praise for the quarterback, senior wide receiver Bud Sasser said that Mauk doesn’t buy into the comparisons.

“I don’t think he likes to be considered Johnny Manziellike,” Sasser said. “He likes to make a name for himself.

He does appreciate that he is compared to Manziel, but he brings more to the table than just an arm. That is just something he naturally has, and we appreciate that.”

And make a name for himself he has. Mauk has torched defenses all season, throwing three touchdown passes in every game of the 2014 season,

including a school-record five in the Tigers win over Toledo.

He currently leads the country in points accounted for.

Hunt credited Mauk and the offense’s success to the work the unit put in over the summer.

It helped the quarterback gel with his receivers, especially on scrambles outside of the pocket, like that first touchdown against UCF. “We had the chance to go home but we did not. That’s something we work to perfect,” Hunt said regarding the synergy he and Mauk have when the quarterback leaves the pocket.

“We knew that was going to be a game-changing play if we made sure we mastered that.”

Mauk said he’s excited to

finally see all of that work come to fruition, but he’s not satisfied.

“There are a lot of points out there that we have not gotten,” Mauk said. “That is what we are going to fix this week against Indiana and play a complete game and get things right.”

While he said he’s pleased with Mauk’s performance so far, coach Gary Pinkel said Mauk has plenty of room for improvement, particularly in the mental aspects of the game.

“There are a lot of little things he will do, being a young quarterback,” Pinkel said. “They do more things on defense now than ever before, and as a quarterback, he has to have the answer to all of those

things. So he will get better and better with more experience.”

Mauk admitted there is a lot he needs to improve to become the best player he can be, but he said he’s motivated and willing to do whatever it takes to refine his game.

If he were grading his and the offense’s fulfillment of their potentials, they’d nearly be failing.

“We are playing really well right now, but I am only at 60 percent, and our offense is, too,” Mauk said. “We are not nearly what we are capable of, but that’s a good thing. We know what we have to work on, and we are ready to take that challenge on.”

to overachieve. Nothing came easy for her; she’s really worked for what she’s earned.”

Although she has had great success in the SEC, Sauerwein traces her fondest soccer memory to when the Tigers were still members of the Big 12.

During the 2011 Big 12 Championship quarterfinals, Mizzou took on the Baylor Bears and tied 2-2, leading to a penalty shootout. A redshirt freshman at the time, Sauerwein was able to keep out Baylor’s fifth shot. Following her save, the goalkeeper stepped up and put in the match’s winning penalty kick.

Sauerwein recalled that at that moment, her teammates, none of whom remain on the Tigers’ current squad, dogpiled

her.

Now in her final season with the team, Sauerwein has one goal: an SEC Championship.

“We have to play really hard (to reach the SEC Championship),” she said. “(Louisiana State) is our first conference game, so we’re definitely focused on winning that and then recovering since we don’t have a game on Sunday. We just need to take it one game at a time.”

The star goalkeeper is evidently a leader on the field.

When the Tigers are attacking, Sauerwein can be seen standing 30 yards from the goal, yelling orders and encouragement at her teammates.

“I like playing off my line a lot,” she said. “I’m aggressive and it’s just something I’ve

always been good at. It helps the team out.”

Good communication has been a focus for the Tigers from the start. “ We work a lot on communication,” junior defender Candace Johnson said.

“It’s something (McKenzie and I) improved on in the last three years. It’s been a lot of ups, not that many downs, really.”

Being the oldest player on the team, Sauerwein is looked up to not only on the field, but off it.

Senior midfielder Kaysie Clark, Sauerwein’s co-captain, said her goalkeeper gets the team excited prior to games and intimidates opponents, but is also “really goofy and off-thewall crazy.”

Despite her countless

accolades, Sauerwein is not one to brag.

“She doesn’t really boast about her records,” Johnson said. “Other than noticing articles, we didn’t know (about the records); she’s humble.

She’s working for the team like we’ll work for her.”

With almost no individual accolades left to collect, Sauerwein remains motivated by her hopes to get a chance to play at the next level following her collegiate career.

“Soccer means everything to me,” she said. “I don’t know what I’d do without it. I’ve always played it and it’s always kept me out of everything else.

That’s all I know, is soccer.”
