Village East residents may be fined for vandalism Molly Bruno Staff Writer A total of 18 exit signs have repeatedly gone missing in Village East, and residents may be fined a community charge if no one is found responsible for the vandalism, said Krista Boren, associate director of the Department of Housing and Residence Life.

The Village East facilities staff reported the missing signs during their monthly safety check of the complex in February, Boren said. These reflective exit signs cost

around $20 a piece and have continued to go missing after being replaced in the past two weeks.

“We would rather fine those responsible for the damages than the entire community,” Boren said. “However, many times we must take measures to recover costs from the area residents when we cannot determine or locate the person responsible for the vandalism.”

One student said this is the first occurrence of vandalism she has noticed during the two years she has lived in Village East.

❱❱ Rundown Unless the responsible party is found, all Village East residents may be fined $5 to $20 for the theft of 18 exit signs. The housing contract signed by all residents states that all students are responsible for damages to common areas.

Although she said that the money has to come from somewhere, she did not think fining the residents was fair.

Amber McAllister, a junior majoring in psychology, said the possible fine for the exit signs is kind of silly. She heard the fine would be between $5 and $20, and she said she would not argue being fined for the vandalism.

“It’s our responsibility to watch out for each other,” McAllister said. “That’s what neighbors do.”

Josefine Stenberg, an exchange student majoring in marketing, did not agree with the community charge. “I don’t want to pay

Student Sen. Patrick Harriston speaks during the debate concerning the recommendation to oppose Senate Bill 234 at the Student Government Association Senate meeting on March 4. The bill, which will allow concealed weapons on university and college campuses in Florida, has caused controversy among the student body.

n Student Senate passes recommendation to oppose gun bill, introduces budget W. Paul Smith Staff Writer In a Student Government Association Senate meeting on March 4, members passed a second reading of a recommendation to condemn the controversial Florida Senate bill that would allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry guns on college and university campuses.

After several weeks of passionate debate, including a visit by the author of the bill, state Senator Greg Evers, the SGA Senate voted 12 to 6 to send a message on behalf of the student body in opposition to the proposed legislation.

The recommendation reads in part, “The Student Government Association of the University of West Florida condemns Senate Bill 234 by Senator Greg Evers, strongly encourages the Florida Senate to reject this bill as it stands, and should it pass, urges Governor Rick Scott to veto the bill for the safety of the Florida State University System.”

The recommendation did not pass without some lastminute debate, however.

Many of the students and senators opposed to the recommendation shifted their arguments in recent meetings. They say that not passing the recommenda-

They also passed a first reading of the budget bill that will allocate funds for all student organizations and recreational clubs and departments. tion allows the Senate to take a neutral stance, rather than support the controversial bill.

“Although many of us do believe strongly in favor of SB 234, we’re not asking you to publicly support it,” Rebekah Johansen, a political science/pre-law major said.“We’re simply asking that you not pass a misrepresentation of our voices in this way.”

Casey Bowling, a political science/pre-law major said, “Today I’m here to ask the student government to make the best possible decision they can, a decision of neutrality.”

Johansen and Bowling attended and spoke at every Senate meeting concerning SB 234.

“I think it’s safe to say we feel insulted that after rigorous effort to show up and be heard, our opinion counts less than a silent majority who wishes to have nothing to do with this debate,” Bowling said.

One of the supporters of the bill, Sen. Matthew Ferrer said, “We’ve been hearing this debate for about three weeks. I believe everybody here is well-educated on the issue. We’ve heard the statistics over and over again.

Police call off search for missing man on campus Lindsey Ales Staff Writer A missing person case was under investigation at the University of West Florida from Feb. 24 to March 1 according to the University of West Florida Police Department.

An abandoned car belonging to a missing Pensacola man was found at UWF on Feb. 24 near Building 13, according to a news release from the Pensacola Police Department.

The car, a blue Pontiac Vibe, belongs to William “Billy” Shores, 47, who was last seen by his mother, Jenanette Shores, around 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 18 according to

The Pensacola Police Department is asking for anyone with information about Shores to contact the police at 850-435-1900. the news release. A news release from University Communications assured readers that Shores is not a threat, and there should be no alarm.

The UWF nature trail was closed Feb. 25 while Pensacola police, UWF police, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, K-9 teams from Escambia County Search and

Rescue and volunteers searched the university property for Shores.

The nature trails were re-opened on Feb. 28, but the search continued through March 1.

The Pensacola Police Department was leading the investigation on campus.

“Besides Shores’ car being found on campus, we found no other indication that he was there,” Sgt. Chuck Mallett of the Pensacola Police Department said. “We are not searching any further on campus.”

The UWF Police Department was assisting the Pensacola Police Department with the search efforts on campus.

“This is a missing person case,” John Warren, UWF chief of police said. “We have not found any evidence suggesting foul play. We are worried about him, though, and would like to find him.”

Students, faculty weigh in on learning at UWF Molly Bruno Staff Writer Students who attend the University of West Florida do so to earn a degree. But, the question arises: How do some students and faculty feel learning is going here?

Student opinions

Walking through the John C. Pace Library in the middle of a typical day, one finds students on computers, quietly studying or catching up with friends.

In the library, one sophomore majoring in nursing, who requested to remain anonymous, had a dismal view of the quality of her college education.

She expressed problems with professors’ not covering material in class that ends up on exams. Also, she said she felt that some professors who also teach upper-level courses have trouble relating to students like her when they teach lower-level courses.

However, sitting at a table outside of the library, Kathy Conforti and Adrian Gordon, both seniors majoring in English, seemed enthusiastic about their learning experience and said they were satisfied.

Conforti and Gordon said they put in at least 40 hours a week of study time for their courses. “You really

earn this degree,” Conforti said. She enjoys her classes because, she said, “I really want to learn.”

Conforti also said that if students are facing issues learning in class, they might not be asking the right questions.

Faculty offer advice Professors at UWF also weighed in on the topic of whether students are really learning in college.

“Depending on the particular class, I suggest students spend 15 hours to 30 hours a week on outside work and study,” said Richard Constand, a professor in the Department of

There are now 13 new allies after the eighth annual Ally Program, put on by the Gay-Straight Alliance, was completed on March 3.

This year’s program consisted of three sessions; the coming out process, the history of LGBT issues and bullying in the LGBT community.

“We encourage students to keep an eye out and report suspicious and vandalizing behavior to the staff immediately,” Boren said. “Vandalism of any kind is not tolerated in our community.”

Let’s just end this.”

The Senate also passed a first reading of the budget bill, which included funds allocated for all student organizations and recreational clubs and departments.

Approximately $1.5 million in funding was sought by the various organizations, clubs and departments, but only about $700,000 was available.

Senate Finance Chair Keldrick Averhart, who authored the bill, read the budget aloud line by line, offering representatives from the organizations to voice support or opposition for the funds allocated.

Only the Spirit Squad and Fencing Club declined the budget.

Other representatives accepted the budget but argued for the Senate to allocate more funds.

Logan Hartwig, a representative from the local chapter of To Write Love on Her Arms, a group dealing with people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide, asked for more funding, in part to put on a concert to raise awareness for the group’s causes.

“Since 2008, we’ve had five students from UWF commit suicide,” Hartwig said.

Representatives from the Mock Trial Team, Club Managers Association of America, Experimental Archaeology, Peer Educators, Student

Veterans of America, and the Model Legislature Team also asked for more funding.

Several groups had asked for funds but received none, such as the Progressive Student Alliance.

“We’ve been around for over two years now, and we’ve yet to receive a budget from SGA,” said Kendall McDonald, a representative from PSA. “We just want fair recognition,” said Gabriela Emond, also from PSA. Senators will have the opportunity to make amendments before the budget is final.

The budget bill will have to pass a second reading at the SGA Senate meeting on March 11, during which senators will debate amendments and changes made since the first reading of the bill.

Editorials

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Editorials are biased — The Voyager isn’t We at The Voyager would like to thank all the students who participated in the poll that is currently up at our website pertaining to the guns-on-campus bill.

Your feedback is very important.

That said, we feel that it is important that we set the record straight on a few things regarding the poll. It appears that as students became more interested in the bill itself as well as our poll, a group of people on the Internet got the impression that our poll would somehow directly impact the way that the SGA voted on it.

This is not true. It is likely that the SGA would pay attention to the poll for the same reasons that we did, to get a sense of where students stood, but The Voyager and the SGA are two separate entities and the way that they vote on issues is entirely up to them.

There was also a statement made by one of these students that The Voyager is biased by writing an editorial stating our feelings on the bill while also asking the student body to weigh in. This is a very misinformed viewpoint that we

desperately need to dispel. The unsigned editorial is the voice of the paper. It is a consensus of where the various Voyager editors stand on a particular issue each week so that students can be more aware of what’s happening on campus and what their peers say about it.

It is printed on the opinions page for a reason. It is subjective, and it is our opinion. While at times it may be persuasive, which is the nature of an opinions article, it has no bearing on the objective reporting found in the other sections of our paper. The opinions page is a sounding board, and it is meant to inspire community conversation, not to espouse some vast liberal agenda.

That said, we’d like to re-iterate our appreciation for the many, many students who have visited our site and voted in our poll. We work hard to produce a paper that is informative to students of all possible political leanings, and we value any opinions that you the reader would like to share.

Free speech should be protected for everyone W. Paul Smith Opinions Editor

ast week the Supreme Court ruled that the detestable Westboro Baptist Church does, indeed, have the First Amendment right to protest military funerals.

This controversial case started when Albert Snyder, the father of Matthew Snyder, a soldier who died in Iraq in 2006, sued the church after members protested his son’s funeral. Originally, he won a decision in a lower court forcing the church to pay $11 million in damages, a figure later reduced by a judge to $5 million.

After a federal appeals court threw out the original trial verdict, the case found its way to the Supreme Court and quickly became a landmark First Amendment decision.

Many people were quick to give their support to Snyder in his crusade against the church.

Forty-eight states filed supporting legal briefs on behalf of Albert Snyder, and 42 U.S. senators and many veterans groups also threw their support behind the case against Westboro — even Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly offered to pay Snyder’s legal bill.

Snyder’s attorneys alleged that the practices the church engaged in amounted to “psychological terrorism” and went beyond the pale of what the First Amendment allowed.

SGA Senate doesn’t speak for all students

was quite annoyed by last Friday’s Student Government Senate meeting; the Senate decided to pass its recommendation opposing Florida Senate Bill 234.

The Senators’ claim to be speaking for the majority of the student body was entirely untrue. They had not listened to the voice of their peers. If they had, they would have noticed the voice of the crowd attending Friday’s meeting was pro-concealed carry.

Another troublesome thing was that some arguments presented at the meeting made the concealed-carry situation sound, as Florida state Sen. Greg Evers put it, as if the school would be turned into the Wild West.

A U.S. Secret Service study showed that most of the school shooters are people who give many warning signs. These warning signs are tested for in the process of obtaining a concealed carry permit.

This is a license, and it is not for amateurs, and those who would kill another human would certainly not be stopped by a law.

I would appreciate if some of the SGA Senators would research further and listen to the majority instead of assuming what the people want.

Get shot; it’s an admission requirement Dear Dr. Argo, What are the immunization requirements at UWF? I’ve heard from some that a meningitis vaccination is required, but I have friends who didn’t get that vaccination. I plan to transfer to UWF next semester. Hope you don’t mind answering a question from a non-UWF student.

Many of us are on campus hanging out with friends and using the library. We read the voyager too.

Sincerely, Future UWF Student Dear Future UWF Student, In order to register for classes or graduate, UWF policy states that all students must provide documentation of having received the following: 1. Two (2) doses of MMR (Measles/ Mumps/Rubella) received after your first birthday at least 28 days apart.

2. In lieu of vaccination records, you can also have blood drawn to see whether you have immunity. This test is called a

titer and can be drawn at Student Health Services.

3. The MMR requirement cannot be waived! Additionally, you are required to provide proof of having received the Meningitis vaccine and the Hepatitis B series. However, you may sign a waiver form indicating your informed decision not to be vaccinated. Students under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian’s consent in order to waive this requirement.

If you do not submit these required documents to Student Health Services (Bldg 63), this will result in a hold being placed on your account and you will be unable to register for classes. For additional information please visit www.uwf. edu/healthcenter and click on the immunizations link or call 850-474-2172, option 2.

Thank you for your question.

upsetting or arouses contempt.”

Quoting the decision of another Supreme Court case, Texas v. Johnson, Roberts also wrote, “If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.”

One of the irritating things about this case is that Margie Phelps, a daughter of Fred Phelps and the lawyer who successfully argued the case before the Supreme Court, perhaps thinks she put on some rousing defense of the First Amendment.

But the reality is that the Phelps family could have simply dressed up a monkey in a suit and tie to act as their attorney who did nothing but fling its own feces at the justices, and the church still would have won the case.

We protect speech in this country, even if it comes from the dumbest, most vile, sorriest excuses for human beings on the planet like the Phelps family of the Westboro Baptist Church.

Noam Chomsky once said, “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”

There are very few groups in existence more deserving of being despised than the Westboro Baptist Church, but, like it or not, they have every right to gush forth their repulsive bile — and frankly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Poet group slams UWF Joslyn Rosado Staff Writer The Mayhem Poets, graduates of Rutgers University in New Jersey, entertained about 40 students in the Commons Auditorium on March 3, put on by the Catch a Rising Star committee of the Campus Activity Board.

The Mayhem Poets consists of Kyle Rapps, Mason Granger, and Scott Raven, who have been performing slam poetry together since 2005.

They met in 2000 while in college but had their first performance as The Mayhem Poets in 2005. The show began a half hour late due to technical difficulties with the microphones but ended with audience members asking for pictures with the group.

“We had trouble setting up the third microphone,” Granger said. “But then when that was fixed, we overcame it.”

Although there weren’t as many people as there were chairs in the auditorium, Granger said it was still a good show.

“The smaller audience gave a more intimate feel,” Aubry Tucker, a senior marine biology major said.

Tucker saw The Mayhem Poets perform six years ago, and was excited when she found out they were performing for the University of West Florida.

“I like their energy on stage,” Tucker said. “I like how they get the audience involved. I like their poetry, I like how it’s kept up to date with the times and trends, because when I first saw it six years ago we didn’t have Facebook, we didn’t have Twitter, we didn’t have all those fun websites that have sprung up since then.”

comedy, rap styles, current world issues, and personal stories into their poetry, such as the emotional poem recited

by Rapps about his mother.

“Poetry means everything to me,” Rapps said during the performance.

The purpose of Mayhem Poets is to enlighten and entertain, Granger said before he mentioned po-boys.

“Our purpose is to spread the love of po-boys, that was actually our original name,” Granger said.

Raven explains the original name.

“It was supposed to be the Edgar Allen Poe boys, but we thought it was too old-fashioned,” Raven said.

The Mayhem Poets ended the performance with a poem called “Martin Luther Queen,” about women who have achieved greatness.

“My favorite poem would have to be a toss-up between the Dr. Seuss sermon, the one that Kyle did about his mother - that one was so pretty - and then, of course, Martin Luther Queen,” Tucker said. “It’s my absolute favorite of theirs.”

Go native, go to the beach Josh Cooper Staff Writer Off the main drag at 45A Via De Luna Drive in Pensacola Beach sits a small café with just enough spirit to bring a smile to my face. Native Café, a locally owned restaurant, is a fun, lively but relaxing place to grab a sandwich, breakfast or fish tacos.

Although it closes at 3 p.m., it was still busy at 2:30 p.m., with customers coming in to grab a snack of nachos or key lime pie.

The bright orange and sand-colored walls really pulled the beach inside.

Pictures and paintings by local artists added to the beach scene. Classic rock played quietly on the radio, with Led Zeppelin’s “Over the Hills and Far Away” the first song I actually noticed.

Jesse Brown and his

mother, Joyce Brown, are the owners of Native Café.

“Our first year we tried dinner,” he said. “But breakfast was selling better than lunch and dinner.”

And they seem to be doing just fine without dinner.

Most of what the café has to offer is an assortment of breakfast foods, including eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, toast and biscuits, which they serve between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

They serve lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The lunch menu includes sandwiches, burgers, kabobs and tacos.

They also serve appetizers, soups and salads and, of course, desserts, like walnut crusted key lime pie.

I ordered the fish tacos, three sautéed mahi-mahi tacos, with cabbage, tomatoes and green bell peppers.

‘Lasers’ album misses the target

Josh de Leon L&E Editor

The album cover is the best thing about Lupe Fiasco’s new album “Lasers.”

“Losers” is spelled in white neon lights on a grey wall, in which a red anarchist symbol is painted on the “O,” changing the word

to “Lasers.”

It seems the most effort went into the sleeve than into the music.

Between the layers of over-indulgent synth melodies, guest appearances singing overdone R&B vocals, and bland, thoughtless lyrics, this album automatically becomes just another collection of

❱❱ Rundown Stars: J out of four

Verdict: The beats are watered down and the lyrics lack the focus exhibited on Lupe Fiasco’s last album “Food and Liquor.” The album is a conglomeration of stale hip-hop hooks and R&B vocals, wrapped in overplayed techno noises.

disposable radio trash.

In all fairness to Lupe, it’s understandable that label pressure and numerous release date pushbacks may change the tone of the record, but this feels like something just thrown together and released to fill up shelf space at the store.

Perhaps to please record execs?

But that part is only a personal speculation.

Songs like “Letting Go,” “Words I Never Said,” and “I Don’t Wanna Care Right Now” possess the same formula. Saw synth key noises, sporadic distorted vocal patterns, and regur-

gitated Top 40 rhythms pepper not only these tracks but others on the album as well.

As the records plays, it really becomes hard to discern one song from another as they have the same formulaic structure, redundant instrument voices, and they all bleed together with not a single standout hook or lyric.

This isn’t to say that Lupe isn’t talented or a bad emcee, but just from known pressures the label put on him about this record, it seems another very talented artist has succumbed to the industry.

At one point in the film the lizard even comes face-toface with the original “Man With No Name” from classic Westerns such as “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” in a scene that’s as self-aware as anything Charlie Kaufman or

Frederico Fellini could have dreamt up.

It’s scenes like this that make the movie rewarding to any adults in the audience, and hopefully broadens the horizons of some of the children that they are accompanying.

Visually, the film is mind-blowing. The character designs are some of the most imaginative I’ve seen in years, and the CGI is so realistic that I often couldn’t tell if something was rendered by a computer or filmed using real models.

The voice acting is also top-notch, with Johnny Depp completely owning the

character of Rango.

The rest of the cast is fleshed out with classic character actors such as Ned Beatty, Bill Nighy and Alfred Molina, each one turning in great performances.

With such talent both behind and in front of the

proverbial camera, it’s safe to say that Pixar may finally have found its match in the realm of CG animated films.

“Rango” is an animated masterpiece that is sure to delight children, but is also smart enough that it could have been written for adults.

❱❱ Rundown Stars: JJJJ out of four

Verdict: New animated flick “Rango” features Johnny Depp in the voice-over role of the title character. It is a fun animated western movie about an off-beat lizard who assumes an identity of a rough and tough cowboy. This movie packs the appeal for children and adults alike.

Voyager

My first impression of “Rango,” which I’m sure a lot of other people had as well, was that it was director Gore Verbinski’s attempt at making a cartoon character based on gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.

My suspicions seemed to be confirmed within the first fifteen minutes of watching it when the late, great Thompson himself veers across the screen in his trusty red convertible, jetting across the desert landscape with his attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta in tow.

Once this nod to the character’s aesthetic roots is made, however, the story of Rango becomes an unexpected twist on the classic western genre.

The movie starts out with a lonely, eccentric bipedal lizard performing a scene from an original play with the other objects in his

terrarium — a dead bug, the upper chest of a Barbie doll — filling out the cast.

When the objects don’t turn in the performances he was hoping for, he is left to analyze the situation and concludes that the problem is that he, as the hero, is without any adversity with which to define himself by.

It’s a very “meta” moment, in which the protagonist is telling the audience exactly what needs to happen next in order for him to begin his arc, which is quickly followed by the lizard’s terrarium being flung from his owner’s car into the open Nevada desert, thereby thrusting the foolish reptile into the great unknown.

After a night alone in the desert, he meets the female lizard Beans (voiced by Isla Fisher), who brings him to the frontier town of Dirt.

There he creates an identity for himself as a tough, wild west hero named Rango, and unintentionally ascends to a

IF YOU HIT THE CLUB: n Have a designated driver, or plan to take a cab. By the time your blood-alcohol concentration is over the legal limit your judgement is too impaired for you to realize it. n Always keep an eye on your drink! Never let a stranger bring you a drink, and if you have to get up, cover your drink with something, like a coaster. n Use the buddy system. Make a decision before you go out about how much you want to drink, and ask your buddy to help you keep track of what you’ve had. n Alternate your alcoholic drinks with water and limit yourself to about one drink per hour to help avoid a hangover. Also, never use energy drinks as a mixer. n Eat before and during drinking to slow the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. n If one of your friends has had so much to drink that he or she passes out, make sure you turn the person onto his or her side to sleep, to prevent them from choking if they throw up. n Know what you’re drinking! All drinks are not made the same, and the best way to keep track of what you’re drinking is to know how much alcohol is one standard drink.

UWF tennis dominate WCU

n Men’s and women’s tennis win their match, despite the loss of key players this season Chris Elkins Staff Writer The University of West Florida men’s and women’s tennis teams both won their matches against William Carey University on March 3.

The men won 8-1 and improved to 5-5 on the season. The women won 7-2 and improved to 5-4 on the season.

“We played real well,” Head Coach Derrick Racine said.

The men swept the

doubles competition with Leandro Ferreira and Andrey Pozhidaev winning 9-7 in the No. 1 position, Domenico Sano and Jose Carlos Tolentino winning 8-1 in the No. 2 position and Mike Lue and Lukas Larsson winning 8-6 in the No. 3 position.

William Carey’s only point of the day on the men’s side came from the top spot in singles when Jody Claassen defeated Leandro Ferreira, who retired trailing 6-3, 1-1. Claassen is ranked No. 10 at the NAIA level and

Ferreira is ranked No. 15 in Division II. “Andre Pozhidaev and Sean Gunnels had two big wins,” Racine said.

Jose Carlos Tolentino and Domenico Sano in doubles are one of the best No. 2 combos, he said.

On the women’s side, the Argonauts won two out of three doubles matches.

Jacqueline March and Luiza Sonnervig won 8-4 in the No. 2 position, and Yana Bokareva and Mariana Sonnervig won 8-1 in the No. 3 position.

William Carey’s only point from singles competition came in the No.4 position when Caitlyn Baines was defeated by Anastasia Khabirova 6-4, 2-6, 10-7.

“Taylor Brewster won a

tight match at No. 1,” Racine said.

Brewster defeated Maja Vuzem 4-6, 6-1, 7-6. The women’s No. 1 singles match was the last to finish. A small crowd of about thirty fans gathered to watch.

The men’s team recovered against William Carey after losing back-to-backto-back matches against the top three teams in Division II from Feb. 27 to Feb. 29.

“It wasn’t as intense because it’s not DII,” Racine said. “It’s not the same pressure.”

These matches are good to have in between DII matches, he said.

It was the women’s team’s second time scoring two consecutive wins this season. The Argos defeated

“It’s always tough losing

your No.1,” Racine said.

“Everyone’s had to step up and play higher and we’ve done that.”

“We have two full weeks ahead, and we’re hoping to win every match,” Racine said. “We’re playing good teams. We probably play the toughest schedule in the country.”

Bonning’s future looks bright on the golf course Shawn Handrahan Staff Writer Otto Bonning is a senior at the University of West Florida, where he is also a dominant figure for the golf team.

Originally from Falsterbo, Sweden, Bonning moved to Pensacola in order to further his education, and he is majoring in sports management.

He has led the UWF golf team to many victories, including the 2009 National Championship. When asked what the highlight of his UWF career has been, that memory is what first came to his mind. But he still has high hopes for the remainder of this semester.

“This semester has started just as good,” Bonning said. “We are two for two, and we are looking great. The team spirit at this time is fantastic and a lot of fun.”

Bonning averages 71 a round and has huge plans after he graduates.

“I will go back to Sweden and find some sponsors,” he said. “Then I will turn pro and play the European Tour Qualifier for the fall of 2012.”

Bonning takes his matches seriously and has pre-game rituals that he follows before every tournament in order to be well prepared.

“I normally drink a lot of water the night before,” he said. “Then on tournament days, I stretch well before the warm-up on the range.

First, I putt some balls and then follow up with hitting balls at the range. If I have time, I go back to the range and hit six more balls. All six of these have to be hit the same way.”

He said he feels right at home with the other UWF team members, coach and staff and couldn’t ask for a better college atmosphere.

“UWF has been great,” he said. “Coach Fell is a great coach, and I have become a very close friend of the course. The athletic department is great, with all the help and support we athletes get. So, for me, I could not ask for a better place to live and continue my studies.”

Bonning said attending UWF has been an experience that has enhanced his life greatly, both on and off the course.

“I believe that whenever you step out of your comfort zone and experience new

The Argonauts responded with a series win at Valdosta State (6-12, 1-2 GSC) over the weekend, going 2-1 to open Gulf South Conference play.

Georgia College (15-2) held its spot at the top of the poll, while Central Missouri (7-1) moved up to No. 2.

I feel I have grown a lot because I have new knowledge about this part of the world, and I have learned to know myself inside and out.”

Bonning said he looks forward to the rest of the

semester and is constantly looking to enhance his game by overcoming obstacles that have previously plagued him.

“Something that I had problems with in the past was that after 36 holes I was satisfied and mentally drained, no energy left to put in another good round,” he said. “But today my best round is always the last round. I don’t know why, but it is a good thing.”
