Kettering University Partners for Faster Internet From the Kettering University Web site President Barack Obama will sign an Executive Order on Thursday, June 14, to make broadband construction faster and cheaper and will announce 100 partners—including 25 cities and 60 national research universities—to form a new public-private partnership called us Ignite. Flint, Michigan is one of the first 25 cities and Kettering University is among the 60 nationally respected universities singled out in the first round of this elite national partnership. “Building a nationwide broadband network will strengthen our economy and put more Americans back to work,” said President Obama. “By connecting every corner of our country to the digital age, we can help our businesses become more competitive, our students become more informed and our citizens become more engaged.” Kettering President Robert K. McMahan said us Ignite will bring the fastest broadband research network in the world to Flint and the region. “This is a community asset,” he explained. “We’ll be one of only 25 cities with this technological capability. We’ll be one of the few places in the country with this next-generation technology. It will give Flint a tremendous lead to be in the first wave.” Flint’s Charles Stewart Mott Foundation provided us Ignite with a planning grant to help kick-start us Ignite’s non-profit partnership and has helped engage other national and local partners to bring the technology benefits to Flint. Mott believes us Ignite has the potential to help people improve their lives and their communities and enhance the work of Flint partners, including Kettering University, in the areas of clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and education, as well as the development of local workforce training activities that can help people overcome barriers to the labor market. Ultimately,
the foundation seeks to leverage its investment in Ignite, along with the passion and energy of local partners, to help open new doors to opportunity in Flint and beyond. Merit Network, Inc., joined the us Ignite Initiative and the geni project to help create a platform that will drive next-generation innovation. Merit has a strong history of providing innovative technologies to its membership, including currently developing a Cyber Security Range that is based on Open Flow and geni technologies. Merit’s participation in us Ignite will play an important role in this critical undertaking, and has the potential to benefit all of its membership, from higher education and libraries to K–12 schools, healthcare providers, and more. Formed in 1966, Merit Network is leveraging its experience managing the precursor to the modern Internet, the nsfnet, and its participation in us Ignite will add to a lineage of innovation as Merit continues to support leading-edge network technology in Michigan and beyond. The us Ignite Partnership will create a new wave of services that take advantage of state-of-the-art, programmable broadband networks running up to 100 times faster than today’s Internet. By bringing software developers and engineers from government and industry together with representatives from communities, schools, hospitals, and other institutions that will benefit from faster and more agile broadband options, the partnership aims to speed up and increase the development of applications for advanced manufacturing, medical monitoring, emergency preparedness, and a host of other services. These applications will improve services to Americans and drive job creation, promote innovation, and create new markets for American businesses.
President Obama’s Executive Order will make broadband construction along Federal roadways and properties up to 90 percent cheaper and more efficient. Currently, the procedures for approving broadband infrastructure projects on properties controlled or managed by the Federal Government—including large tracts of land, roadways, and more than 10,000 buildings across the Nation— vary depending on which agency manages the property. The new Executive Order will ensure that agencies charged with managing Federal properties and roads take specific steps to adopt a uniform approach for allowing broadband carriers to build networks on and through those assets and speed the delivery of connectivity to communities, businesses and schools. The Executive Order (eo) will require the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Interior, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs as well as the US Postal Service to offer carriers a single approach to leasing Federal assets for broadband deployment. The eo also requires that available Federal assets and the requirements for leasing be provided on departmental websites, and it will require public tracking of regional broadband deployment projects via the Federal Infrastructure Projects Dashboard (permits. performance.gov). In addition, the Executive Order will direct departments to help carriers time their broadband deployment activities to periods when streets are already under construction—an approach that can reduce network deployment costs along Federal roadways by up to 90 percent.

Study Abroad
Meredith Brassell Guest Contributor
The study abroad term I spent in Germany taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Sure I learned about internet protocols and feedback loops during class, but I learned even more while traveling Europe. I learned how to make efficient plans. Then I learned that things don’t always go according to plan. Then I learned how to improvise and how to get lost, but also perfected the art of using a map. I learned that all you really need to survive is bread, water, and a place to sleep and everything else is just a bonus. I learned the art of finding free water and wifi. I learned the phrase “Do you speak English?” in multiple languages and significantly improved my charades skills for when the answer was no. I learned how to have great conversations with strangers. I learned that sometimes the worst experiences make the best stories. I learned how to sleep on trains, planes, and buses. I learned the value of having a bed to sleep in. I learned to question practices that I consider “normal”, to open my mind to new ideas, and to truly appreciate my home and all of its food, cultures, and ideas. I’ve seen a lot of amazing places and took a lot of pictures but one final thing I learned is that there are thousands of tourists all over the world with those same pictures. It’s the experiences you have and the things you learn while you are abroad that really make it worth it. Photos, right, were taken by Miss Brassell whilst studying abroad last work term.
The Ratio A Humor Piece Kaitlin Solovey Layout Editor For all you ladies out there... Hey there all you new freshman ladies! Welcome to Kettering! I’m sure you’ve heard by now that you’re a minority here. Luckily, this is one of those times when it helps to be a minority. First of all, if you’re opening your own doors, you’re doing it wrong. There is no reason for you to be opening a door for yourself. Most of your male peers will be polite enough to do it for you. Second: if you’re parents weren’t nice enough to get you a tv for your dorm room, don’t fret; there are plenty of freshman boys with tvs in their rooms, and they’d love nothing more than to watch the Big Bang Theory with you. And they’d love watching White Collar with you even more, just to hear all about how attractive Matt Bomer is. You don’t have a car? At least one of the freshman males you know will. And they’d be more than hap-
py to take you to Wal-Mart at 10:00 at night - it’s not Finally, if you haven’t heard it already, there’s this like they need to sleep or study or anything. (Actu- area called the friend-zone. The friend-zone is that ally, going to Wal-Mart at 10:00 at night is really fun area where you put a guy whose friendship and/or and you should all try it). intelligence is valuable to you, but that’s all he is. Now, I have a heart, so I’m going to suggest you minimize the amount of time you force your male friends to be in the friendzone. They get really frustrated and sad when they’re there, and it’s just mean to give them hope only to dash it time and time again. So ladies, go out there and meet men! You’ll find a lot of fun, smart, and interesting men at Kettering. Use them as you please, be it for tv, grocery shopping, or homework purposes. But in the end, remember that Now for the serious part: your male peers actually they’re humans. And some of them do make really have value as human beings. They do have feelings. good friends. And since all of them got into Kettering, they’re relatively intelligent. So if you need help with a class, take advantage. There are a lot of majors where there aren’t many other women to help you, so take advantage of your male friends’ intelligence.

Chapter Name: Epsilon Iota A Nickname: Delts President: Nick Taubitz taub7919@kettering.edu Recruitment: John Clarahan clar1686@kettering.edu Summary: Delta Tau Delta is one of the largest and most involved fraternities on campus. Our brothers have started clubs like welding club and paintball club, have positions in ksg, ifc, sac, Academic Council, and Finance Council, and are active in a multitude of different clubs including climbing club and wkuf. Delta Tau Delta believes that strengthening the community is essential to our vitality. Living by this, the fraternity hosts and participates in philanthropic events such as working at Cedar Point a weekend each year for donations, Polar Bear Plunges in the winter, and the upcoming Relay for Life. Despite being so involved in campus, we manage to maintain a house gpa over the fraternity, all–greek, and all–male averages. In their free time, the brothers enjoy playing soccer on the beach, volleyball and other lawn games at our house (especially Can Jam), working on cars, and playing music.
Chapter Name: Alpha Gamma Nickname: Fiji, Phi Gam President: Kevin Lucka luck6424@kettering.edu Recruitment: Greg Barilovich bari2111@kettering.edu Summary: Phi Gamma Delta is dedicated to developing men of character within the academic setting, with the aim that they will become fully contributing members of society. In pursuit of this mission, the Fraternity promotes five core values: Friendship, Knowledge, Service, Morality, and Excellence. The pursuit of knowledge is why each student comes to Kettering, which is why, as Fijis, we hold true to our three Priorities: Scholarship, Fraternity, and Self. Phi Gamma Delta provides numerous leadership opportunities, including volunteer work for community organization such as the Flint Children’s Museum, on campus involvement in organizations like ifc, and intrafraternal leadership roles as officers in our governing Cabinet.
Chapter Name: Zeta Alpha Nickname: Pikes President: Justin Payne payn8349@kettering.edu Recruitment: Rob Holmgren rholmgren24@gmail.com Summary: What began in Room 47 West Range at the University of Virginia back in 1868 has now endured for well over a century, growing into one of the largest fraternal organizations in the world. How? The reason is simple. Pi Kappa Alpha has remained dedicated to developing men of integrity, intellect, success and high moral character, and to fostering a truly lifelong fraternal experience. Bottom line: Pi Kappa Alpha enhances the collegiate experience while providing a lifetime of opportunity and reward. Its legacy demands nothing less than excellence. Pi Kappa Alpha consists of Scholars, Leaders, Athletes and Gentlemen. If you exemplify one or several of these ideals, you could be just the type of person that Pike is looking for. Pi Kappa Alpha is continuously working hard to find men who want to be champions, men who are dedicated to a common vision. When you graduate college you will have a Diploma, a gpa, and a few friends and memories. When you graduate Pike, you will have a network for over 250,000 initiates, lasting ties of friendship and brotherhood, and memories and experiences that you will never forget.

Lambda Chi Alpha Chapter Name: Lambda Epsilon – A Nickname: Lambda Chi, Choppers President: Andrew Middleton midd8155@kettering.edu Recruitment: John Lazarus laza2102@kettering.edu Summary: Lambda Chi Alpha has been very influential in the fraternity world, leading the way to the abolishment of hazing in their new member program, and got rid of pledging all together, with the Associate Member program. As part of Lambda Chi Alpha’s True Brother Initiative, associate members learn the Seven Core Values forming the foundation of Lambda Chi Alpha’s approach to brotherhood. These seven values — Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Service and Stewardship, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage, are influenced by the U.S. Army’s leader development program. When brothers are not at class or studying, they can be found playing volleyball, working on their vehicles, playing golf, grilling, or hanging out having a good time.

Phi Delta Theta Chapter Name: Michigan Delta Nickname: Phi Delts President: Gabe Phillips phil9072@kettering.edu Recruitment: Aaron Hoffman hoff2180@kettering.edu Summary: Whether you are interested in becoming a member of the Greek community or not, the Fraternity of Phi Delta Theta has more to offer than you know. Whatever your interests, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere at Phi Delta Theta. We follow three simple principles that make us exemplary members of the community. These principles are friendship, sound learning, and moral rectitude. Friendship can mean a lot of different things, depending on how it’s used. To us friendship is taken to the next level, creating a brotherhood that grows past college and lasts forever. Sound learning, is another principle that Phi Delts live by. At Phi Delta Theta, we put the education of our members and our friends as a top priority. If you are having trouble in any subject, there is a Phi Delt willing to help. The third principle we follow is moral rectitude. One of our founding fathers, Robert Morrison, said it best: “To do what ought to be done but would not have been done unless I did it, I thought to be my duty.” This means being honorable and honest at all times, having a deep sense of responsibility towards one another, and looking out for every brother. These three principles are the basis for being a Phi Delt, but Phi Delts are much, much more. To get a good understanding of what it truly means to be a Phi, you will have to speak with one of our members.
