Art programs’ move to warehouse boosts ASU’s downtown presence FreeBike Project comes to ASU Lily Lieberman • College Times Free. That’s a word one rarely hears while at college. Amidst the rising cost of tuition, textbooks and living fees, transportation is often the last item on a student’s checklist, but a new company is changing this for Tempe students.

The FreeBike Project provides students with an innovative concept and a new way to pay off a newly purchased bike. Getting a new bike is now as easy as snapping a picture of yourself and uploading it to Instagram.

So what’s the catch? You are a riding billboard for companies like Lyft and Northface that advertise on the sides of the bike.

Kim Sanderhoff noticed companies at his alma mater, USC, were advertising with students through paper flyers. In an effort to streamline how companies connect with students and also provide more affordable transportation for students, Sanderhoff partnered with his friend Johan Bender to create the FreeBike Project.

ASU students can sign up through the company’s website by putting down a $99 deposit, which they will get back after they return the bike.

Each set of wheels is sponsored by a different company, which will receive social media coverage in exchange for the cost of the bike lease. Once or twice a month, students post a picture of themselves riding the bike to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

MAY 8 - MAY 21, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

This helps the company leverage their value proposal and get bigger and better brands on the bikes. Not only do students take notice of their peers’ bikes and the brands they advertise on campus, but the advertising potentially reaches millions more via social media.

For every bike students ride here in the U.S., the company also gives a bike to a deserving student in the Philippines.

As a partner with Bikes For The World, the project aims to provide better transportation for young people living in remote villages, giving them easier access to water, food and education.

A socially responsible and green transportation system is a novel concept that will be available to students at the Tempe campus in the fall.

At the end of the school year, students give the bikes back to the company and they in turn receive their initial deposit.

While students have the bike, it is considered theirs and should be taken care of and maintained.

Students can lease a lock with their bicycles to protect themselves from theft– an extra $30 dollars that is definitely worth the money. Once the bikes are returned, the donation process begins and the company sends refurbished wheels to students in need through their charitable partner.

The FreeBike Project, then, has a double meaning. Not only does it provide students with an affordable option for getting to school, the project also helps a student overseas achieve their goals.

Kimberleigh Holsclaw • Cronkite News Service For Dean Reynolds, pursuing his Master of Fine Arts in painting at a new studio space downtown rather than at Arizona State University’s Tempe campus means greater opportunities to connect with the thriving art community here.

“I think the advantage here is we’re closer to things that are happening in terms of the arts, people who are interested in the arts and anything that might be related tangentially that we would never think of in terms of the arts,” he says.

In January, two of 10 master’s degree programs in ASU’s School of Art – painting and drawing – moved from Tempe to a converted warehouse a few blocks south of Chase Field. Programs in sculpture, fibers and intermedia, now housed in separate buildings on the Tempe campus, were to follow in May. That will have more than 30 students and faculty working out of the 26,232-square-foot facility next school year.

The move expands ASU’s presence in Phoenix. A campus a mile and a half northwest of here boasts more than 11,500 students in programs such as the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, College of Public Programs and College of Nursing and Health Innovation. The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law is scheduled to join them in 2016.

Adriene Jenik, the director of ASU’s School of Art, says students will learn a lot from each other by being together in the same space and will bolster the Phoenix art scene.

“With being in downtown Phoenix,

instead of being dissipated across campus, we can do a lot more public programs that bring the public in and have a lot more tie-in with the Phoenix art community,” she says.

In addition to the Phoenix Art Museum, downtown has events like First and Third Fridays and the annual Art Detour, featuring the art studios and galleries.

The leased space is owned by Michael Levine, an artist, developer, historian and preservationist in the downtown Phoenix warehouse district. The side facing South Seventh Street is adorned with more than 500 highway signs, a mural Levine and others created in honor of Arizona’s centennial.

Nicknamed the “Levine Machine,” the building offers a loft-style space with 15 studios that each offer a graduate student 250 square feet of workspace. The sculpture, fibers and intermedia students will work in large adjoining spaces that are undergoing renovation.

The Step Gallery, which shows the students’ work, has moved from Tempe.

Levine, who says he connected with school officials at an event on the Tempe campus and began conversations that led to the move, says being in a larger workspace with easy access to materials such as lumber and even junk available in an industrial area will benefit students exponentially.

“They are probably going to be able to do things that none of us even anticipated,” Levine says.

Dean Reynolds, who was scheduled to graduate in May, says that an art scene is almost non-existent in Tempe while being in downtown Phoenix removes some of that isolation.

“The arts need something more than just faculty and students to see it,” he says.

SCHOOL SPIRITS

Are ASU’s binge drinking deaths enough to damper its party school reputation?

Claire Cleveland • College Times

It’s

nighttime on a weekend and ASU’s Tempe dorms are empty. Mill Avenue is packed with college students looking to get their party on. Apartments on the corner of Apache Boulevard and Rural Road have young people, many under 21, flooding in and out, looking for a good time.

Every year 500,000 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 are in alcohol related accidents that end in bodily harm, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism via its website, collegedrinkingprevention. gov. Excessive drinking can lead to a multitude of problems when the drinkers are inexperienced and underage.

ASU is currently under investigation, as well as 55 other Universities across the country, for possible violations of federal law over the way they dealt with sexual assault and harassment complaints, many of which took place under the influence.

According to a report released by The White House, one in five women are sexually assaulted in college.

Underlying most hazing, sexual assault and loud party problems is drinking—more specifically, binge drinking.

The Tempe Police Department and ASU want to keep students safe and provide an educational environment for everyone to enjoy, but some students just want to have a good time. Known for its party school

reputation, ASU and its surrounding areas are more than accommodating if your goal is to get wasted.

The problem seems to stem from what the definition of a “good time” means.

In many cases, having a “good time” means drinking to the point of total loss of control. And in extreme cases, partying to the point of no return.

CULTURAL CASUALTIES “There is a problem and it needs to be addressed,” says Michael Pooley, a police sergeant and public information officer for Tempe PD. Especially in the “loud party corridor.”

The majority of Tempe incidents occurred in the corridor, or the section east of Rural Road near Apache Boulevard. Even with a police crackdown, curbing underage drinking isn’t as simple as citing students and telling them never to do it again.

“Like abstinence programs for sex, you can’t just push abstinence, abstinence, abstinence. You have to deal with the problems that come with actually having sex, or in this case, drinking,” Frank Smith, student body president of ASU’s downtown Phoenix campus, says.

The heavy partiers aren’t always the people you’d expect. As student body

president at her former high school in Kansas and the daughter of two teachers, Naomi McClendon was the good girl type.

Friends say she had infectious spirit and optimistic outlook, majoring in non-profit leadership and management when she began her ASU career in fall 2013.

On March 30, the 19-year-old fell from the 10th story of 922 Place, an offcampus apartment complex located on Rural and Apache Boulevard at the center of the loud party corridor. She had been drinking heavily, police and friends say, but her BAC has not yet been released to the public.

Video footage shows McClendon walking thought the halls of 922 Place stumbling and unsteady, returning to a friend’s apartment from an all-youcan-drink party hosted by now-banned fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi at an offcampus apartment complex. $30 at the door turned the party into an all-you-candrink buffet of sorts, where underage drinkers were encouraged to consume.

McClendon was left in the 10th floor apartment. Footage from an outside camera shows her straddling the balcony railing before falling to her death early that morning in a jarring incident that struck a chord with ASU students. But it wasn’t the only case.

Jack Culolias was also an ASU freshman when he died in 2012. Culolias came to ASU after losing his father a

few months prior. According to friends, he wanted to escape the sadness of his father’s death and find a group of friends with which he could fit in.

He pledged Sigma Alpha Epsilon and became heavily intoxicated at a schoolsanctioned party held at the now-closed Cadillac Ranch at Tempe Marketplace.

His blood alcohol content was nearly four times the legal limit. He was sent home by security after urinating off of a balcony.

After a 16 day search, his body was found in the river adjoining Tempe Town Lake.

Just a few months later, 20-year-old Aiden Mohr, also a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, consumed 20 shots of tequila on his birthday when his lips started to turn blue. His BAC was five times the legal limit when he was dropped off at the front entrance of a local hospital. Friends left him with a sticky note that read, “I’ve been drinking and I need some help.” His fellow partygoers abandoned him for fear of receiving a citation, police say.

While the drinking rates of ASU students have decreased and are lower than other universities, according to ASU media representative Sharon Keeler, incidences are still occurring at the rate of about one high profile incident per year for ASU compared to nearly 1,400 nationwide, according to collegedrinkingprevention.gov. ... continued on page 8 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

CURBING THE PROBLEM Patrick Nosal, vice president of the new health and safety position in Theta Kai fraternity, knew students in Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Nosal says drinking still occurs after the incidents, but it isn’t necessarily a requirement of being in a fraternity.

“You [would] live in the houses with an older guy and give him $20 so that you and your buddies can have a good time, so there is more access, but I wouldn’t say that it is expected,” Nosal says.

He claims that most students are just looking to have a good time—a good time that ASU has little tolerance for and a good time that Tempe PD uses numerous resources to try to contain.

“The university has zero tolerance for actions that put students at risk or are in violation of state and federal law. All students are subject to the Arizona Board of Regents Student Code of Conduct,” Keeler says.

ASU mandates in its student code of conduct that all dorm residents and guests are prohibited from possessing or consuming alcohol, she says.

Through new legislation, Tempe police can ticket the owners of a home for a loud party call, even if they don’t answer the door. In Arizona, if a minor has consumed alcohol, they can be fined for both a minor in consumption and a minor in possession.

Fear of receiving a citation may deter students from calling for help when situations get out of hand, or in Mohr’s case, deter them from staying with a friend at the ER. “I would hope that someone would take their friend to the emergency room regardless of whether or not they would get in trouble. Someone’s life and well being is more important than a little citation that doesn’t even go on your permanent record,” Pooley says.

For example, after McClendon left the Alpha Epsilon Pi party, Tempe police arrived and issued seven citations, a fraction of the number of people at the party who were likely drinking.

Now minors that seek medical help for someone else, even if they’re under the influence of drugs and alcohol, could be granted limited legal immunity. Though not yet in effect in Arizona, The Medicial Amnesty Initiative is dedicated to “the

introduction, passage, and education of Medical Amnesty legislation throughout the United States. [The] hope is for a future where young people are no longer afraid to dial 911 for help in a life or death situation,” according to the initiative’s website.

“I think that whoever came up with that is a genius. Seriously, that is the best way to make sure that someone does the right thing if something has to be done,” Nosal says.

... continued from page 7

ASKING FOR HELP For underage students who feel like their alcohol habit has gotten out of control, there are options.

“When underage drinkers are cited, they have the choice to go to an alcohol safety class, where we can sit down with them and let them know what Tempe city ordinances are and how alcohol consumption can be dangerous,” Pooley says.

ASU takes a multidimensional approach, Keeler says, which includes enforcement of the policies, education for students and social media outreach.

“ASU has a number of programs to promote healthy living and discourage substance abuse of any kind… Education addresses underage and high risk drinking, and prescription drug abuse, and the negative outcomes these behaviors can lead to. Online education is offered through the ASU Wellness website and through student organizations and classes such as the Alcohol Wise online class that is offered to prevent high risk and underage drinking,” Keeler says.

Smith wants to go even further than ASU already has and make alcohol prevention classes a segment of ASU101, a required freshman seminar course. ASU Wellness provides education in freshmen student success classes, but the ASU101 course “is something that I am really going to try and push next year so that people have access to that information,” Smith says.

“Students who have violated ASU’s alcohol and other drugs policy may be required to take online classes including Under the Influence or Marijuana 101,” Keeler says, much like the educational courses that can be chosen after receiving a citation.

But when education is not doing the trick, higher ups are forced to step in a take more drastic actions against underage and binge drinking.

Above, left to right: Jack Culolias died when he was kicked out of Tempe’s Cadillac Ranch and stumbled into the river adjoining Tempe Town Lake; Aiden Mohr was abandoned by friends outside a Tempe emergency room with a BAC five times the legal limit; Naomi McClendon fell from the 10th floor of 922 Place when she was heavily intoxicated, police say.

But do students actually want help?

Is the payoff of partying worth the risk?

For ASU and Tempe police, change might come slowly with new enforcements, but others say it’s all about making binge drinking, like drunk driving, officially “uncool.”

Nosal feels strongly that the changes that need to be made are not only education and enforcement but rather social changes in the ASU community.

The issue is more about social norms and the reputation of ASU as a party school, he says, than a lack of education or enforcement.

“If Naomi’s friends hadn’t left her then maybe she would still be here today,” Nosal says.

Theta Kai’s approach to achieve this goal and change social attitudes is to let its members know that sharing their problems with each other and letting others know when they need help is the “manliest” thing a fraternity brother can do. After all, it can make a life or death

difference.

“I graduate in December and I want to come back and visit in five or 10 years and [see] these events, my inventions or ideas, still happening,” Nosal says, “I want to leave behind these events that will hopefully happen every year.”

Nosal is in the process of planning festival-like awareness events that attract a large amount of students and are actually fun.

Theta Kai is planning to make improvements in the coming semester, but more than just one fraternity will have to join the cause to keep its members safe and the community at large safe while partying. And really, that’s a cause ASU students and Tempe PD can both rally behind.

“At the end of the day, we just want people to make it home safely. We want them to have a fun time and a positive college experience but that they are safe and receive the medical attention they need,” Pooley says.

STUDENT LIFE >>>

Jorge Salazar • College Times ASU alum Alexandra Ncube has been keeping busy.

Since graduating in 2012 with a degree in theater, she’s appeared in Phoenix Theatre’s “Spring Awakening,” sang with local wedding cover band The Instant Classics, and toured the country as a third of Rock The Presidents, a children’s play about our commandersin-chief.

Nevertheless, those accomplishments might be overshadowed by Ncube’s latest success: landing the lead female role in “The Book of Mormon,” one of the most popular Broadway shows in recent history.

Ncube stars in the satirical musical about two hapless missionaries in Uganda as Nabulungi, a young Ugandan woman who befriends the two Mormons.

Fans of the show will be able to see the Arizona native perform at ASU’s Gammage Auditorium as part of the 2015-2016 season.

Ncube took some time to speak to us about backstage jitters, getting homesick and what advice she has for current theater hopefuls.

College Times: What was your first night performing in “The Book of Mormon” like?

Ncube: Well, I don’t really remember. I do remember a lot of adrenaline and a lot of nerves, but I’m in such good hands.

The whole cast was ready to take care of me. My boyfriend flew up from Arizona to be in the audience. I felt really heavily supported. But my brain kept churning and churning the whole time, just thinking “What comes next? What are my lines? I hope I don’t mess up!” It was

10

MAY 8 - MAY 21, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

really exciting and thrilling when it finally hit me that I was going to get on stage with a Broadway show.

How do you feel ASU prepared you for tackling a Broadway show?

They really give you a sense of independence and strength and trust in your own skill and yourself as a human being. There was a lot of support in the theater program to trust your own art and also collaborate well with others, and take notes and direction. So I’ve learned a lot of really valuable things from a lot of my professors and core values that I took away when [I graduated].

How long are you touring? Is it hard being on the road for such an extended period of time?

The touring is going on for a little over 18 months. And I’ve had some experience with Rock the Presidents. We toured the country and I knew what to expect, but it does get hard sometimes. I miss my friends and family a lot and I miss Arizona too, but this is an unforgettable experience in itself. I can’t not like it and I have no choice but to love it.

What kind of advice do you have for new theater students at ASU? I would tell them to always remember to tell the truth. You have to believe what your character says. Also don’t be afraid to take risks. It was a huge risk for me to audition for this show. I was afraid and I didn’t really know if I could get the role and then it started to become more and more possible that I would.

Without taking the risk in the first place, I wouldn’t be here. Be in constant pursuit of your dreams, don’t get lazy, work hard, tell the truth and take risks.

ASU Success Story: ‘Book of Mormon’s’ Alexandra Ncube

Extracurricular Peculiarities

Sun Devil Riders Club, ASU’s Motorcycle Club Jorge Salazar • College Times Last year, Dawson Cannon made a decision that he says not only surprised his friends and family, but himself as well.

“I had this feeling of sneaking away to the other side of the country and buying a motorcycle would be the right thing to do,” Cannon, who was attending West Virginia University at the time, says. “Once I got here I was happier than I’ve been in a really long time.”

Now an ASU junior, Cannon says while he was happiest when behind the handlebars of his bike, something was still missing.

“I realized I have to find people I can share this with. Otherwise it’s just me going on long rides by myself somewhere and I wasn’t going to remember that in 20 years,” he says.

Enter ASU’s Sun Devils Riders Club, which he founded in October 2013 as a way to get the growing ASU motorcycle community together, as well as promote riding safety.

“We have several members who are new to motorcycle ridding and have tons of questions,” vice president of the club Marco Scognamiglio says. “We practice safety all the time, from emergency maneuvering to practicing how to fall.”

College Times: Why did you start this club?

DC: It was basically the result of the question, “Why are there so many motorcyclists at ASU that don’t know each other?” You might get a head nod entering parking areas, but other than that there is so much room for friendships, cooperation and comradery that’s not there. It was pulling the trigger then and there and saying, “Alright this has to change.”

What kind of group activities are held for members?

MS: Other than basic going on rides together, we do tons of charity events. We’ll be trying to host some fundraising events to give back to the community. We’re in cahoots with a disability community center for the mentally handicapped, and we’re doing car washes with them to raise money for them.

Do you participate in any events within the ASU community?

MS: Yes, we do. One of the best examples would be the carnival event that was held a couple of months ago on Hayden Lawn.

We are working together with all the sport and athletics teams, and we want to get together and show our faces as a club and support our fellow Sun Devil athletes.

DC: We were just at the Passing the Pitchfork banquet. We got to meet representatives of other clubs, memorial union faculty and exchange information with them. We’re basically taking advantage of every opportunity that we can as we’re a new club.

What draws people to motorcycles?

MS: It’s just the most freeing feeling riding a motorcycle. When it’s just you, the machine and the road, it’s a huge stress reliever.

That’s how we get away from the world, it’s on two wheels. It’s how we’re able to get through this difficult life.

DC: It’s just such a unique feeling that, not to be cliché, once you ride a motorcycle you can understand and it’s something that you can build a community and comradery so easily over.

Claire Cleveland • College Times By now finals have had their fun ruining your life and to top it off, the weather is progressively heating up. Those of us stuck here for the summer have three months ahead that may be looking dreary and sweaty, but we think this summer can be used for your benefit.

Of course you should get a summer job and make some money as well as rekindle relationships that were neglected during the hellish school year, but some of these habits worth starting maybe aren’t what you think of as your summer resolution.

Unlike New Year’s Resolutions, maybe these ones will actually stick.

1. Get off the couch Instead, become a yoga master. Bikram yoga. Never heard of it? It is a type of yoga characterized by a set of postures and breathing exercises performed in a heated room. Pretty simple, right? Only here in the sunny desert, it is already going to be 100 degrees outside, so why pay to go to a heated studio? Videos and books online can easily be found to replace a yoga instructor.

Grab a yoga mat and find a shady place on campus or in your backyard. Bring a ton of water and remember to keep calm and breathe. You will sweat like crazy but after a long cold shower you will feel refreshed and ready to carry out the rest of your day.

2. Realize it’s not just about you Phoenix and Tempe are home to fairly substantial population of feral cats. Many of those little kitties die in the summer due

to heat exhaustion and a water shortage.

Your task: volunteer at the local animal shelter. Many only require a minimum of two or three hours a week but the help goes a long way to help. There are also thousands of volunteer opportunities to help your fellow man, if that’s more your thang. Head to handsonphoenix.org to find an opportunity nearby that fits your volunteer personality.

3. Stop being afraid to try This might sound a little ambiguous, but get out of your comfort zone! Chances are you will have some obligations this summer, but they probably won’t compare to the obligations you will have in five or ten years, so get out there and experience something new. It can be as simple as a camping trip in the northern country or a spontaneous drive to the ocean. When you tell your kids about your college years, you don’t want to sum up your breaks as “I watched a lot of ‘Dr. Who’ on Netflix.” If nothing else, do it for the story.

4. Get Zen Color research suggests that colors affect the way we feel and the way we handle different situations. Light colors are associated with positive emotions and green suggests relaxation. Taking advantage of this concept could make the difference between a stressful environment and one that moves you to complete your work and feel invigorated enough to meet up with friends later. The best kinds of habits are the ones that put a dent in your stress when life kicks into overdrive.

4 Habits you can change to improve your life by fall

My First Time ...

... At a past life reading Jorge Salazar • College Times I’m not going to pretend to know how most people first come to learn about reincarnation, but I was introduced to it via a movie that ruined the life of a 10-year-old me.

“Fluke” was a movie with a very misleading poster (we’re talking about an adorable puppy wearing adult shoes) that tricked my parents into renting it for one of our family movie nights. Instead of getting an even cuter version of “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey,” as we expected, we got a tale of reincarnation that involved animal testing, broken families, deaths and a depressing ending that I still cannot deal with.

Maybe it’s the fact that I do not subscribe to any spiritual organization that makes the concept of the afterlife feel like a giant question mark hanging above my head whenever I entertain the thought. All I know is that I really don’t want to end up as a dog, for obvious reasons.

You can imagine my interest when, on a calendar of upcoming events, I stumbled upon a past life reading workshop.

Led by Apollo, a metaphysician and UFO expert with 30 years of experience, the workshop promised to explore life after death and reincarnation. I have never pressed an RSVP button so fast.

Arriving at Healing Dynamics International, a small office building in Scottsdale’s Hayden Professional Plaza, I was a bit surprised. Reading up on their descriptions of spiritual enlightenment, alternate dimensions and psychic readings, I had come to expect a bit more flair in the setting.

This wasn’t your stereotypical flamboyant psychic venue. The setting was akin to a doctor’s waiting room. And our metaphysician Apollo was not decked out in

flashy robes, but a simple pair of jeans and button down shirt.

The first hour of the event was a lecture on the concept of reincarnation, the views of different faith’s on the subject and examples of what Apollo said were proven examples of past life recollections from around the world. I only paid a superficial amount of attention, as I was ready to find out if I was some sort of royalty in a past life (my money was on an Aztec Princess).

After the presentation, we finally got to the section I had been anxiously waiting for.

The metaphysician walked us through meditation techniques to get in touch with our supra-conscious aspect of our minds to uncover past experiences. I had never meditated before, since I normally can’t sit still for more than a couple of minutes at a time.

Following his instructions of imagining energies and colors flowing was surprisingly easy and I could feel myself get into a state of tranquility.

Apollo then told us to, with our eyes closed and looking through our past lives’ eyes, face our feet and see what kind of shoes our previous selves were wearing.

Once we saw our shoes, we were to take in more of the setting.

Try as I might, I didn’t see anything.

What followed was a room of about a dozen people talking about vivid memories and scenarios, while I waited patiently for Apollo to tell us what he saw.

Apollo went through the room and gave his interpretation of the readings of what he saw of our past lives before getting to me. He asked where I was from and I had an internal argument whether or not he was asking about my past life or me.

Apollo finally revealed his vision after I stuttered out a response: he saw me as a middle-eastern mystic with a turban. I prefer the Aztec Princess.

Student Voices The Art of Playing Hooky Jorge Salazar • College Times We’ve all been guilty of it at some point or another. You’ve once again found yourself roped into an engagement Jorge Salazar you’d rather not be a part of. Be it school, work or even a party (sometimes ragers are best left out of the itinerary), you just don’t have the wherewithal to muster up enough energy to partake.

While the term R&R (rest and relaxation) gets thrown around a lot in these circumstances, playing hooky is an entirely different concept. R&R days are generally characterized by staying in bed all day, flicking through your Netflix queue in between naps and probably not showering.

In short, you’re recharging your batteries.

Playing hooky, on the other hand, is an art form. The idea of hooky isn’t too prepare to go back to the grind, but to escape the grind completely. For a day, you’re able to dodge all your responsibilities and embrace the opportunity to accomplish things you’ve had to put off.

Here are a couple of suggestions to make the most of your own version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:

Take a hike You’ve been holed up in class trying to survive lectures and then holed up in your room trying to complete assignments that just seem to pile up. Get away from the world of knowledge and embrace the outdoors.

STREET TEAM SHOT

Catch up with friends More than once during the semester you’ve come to find yourself in an antisocial funk.

You can recall everything your professors have been droning on about for the past couple of months, but don’t really know what’s going on in your bestie’s life. Take some time to get a debriefing on the goingons you’ve been missing out on.

Treat Yourself We’re going to get cliché for a moment.

You’re body is a machine and getting it serviced is a task not many people keep up with. Get a facial, a massage, or just buy yourself some new threads. It’s like when you get your car detailed. Seeing something shiny and new makes a lot of us happy (and I’m officially done with this metaphor).

Get Cultured Hit up a museum, go to some sort of art workshop (bonus hooky points if you do one of those paint and drink classes) or simply hit the movie theatre and watch the latest blockbuster while sneaking in your own snacks and beverages (hint hint).

The school year is coming to an end and ASU Juniors Josh Campbell and Brian Gutierrez couldn’t be happier! They each have big plans ahead of them and are excited for finals to be over to start their summer adventures. College Times salutes you, boys!

Engaging in the arts is one the easiest ways of escaping the real world and they will also give you something to bring up in a conversation.

Be a kid again Escape the pains of adulthood by embracing your inner child. And nothing

says children like an arcade. Hit up a local arcade or amusement park and go nuts.

You might find that resuscitating your hidden talent for Dance Dance Revolution or screaming your head off on a roller coaster will momentarily transport you back to a time when grades and part time jobs were the least of your worries.

MAY 8 - MAY 21, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Moving brings great opportunities in the form of careers, social connections and new beginnings. However, the act of moving can create unnecessary stress and tension, which makes the process less than desirable. Celebrity design expert and ADT spokesperson Sabrina Soto has the expert moving advice to make your house a home: Review everything being packed: If you have items you won’t use or haven’t used in six months, put them aside. They are good candidates for selling at a garage sale, listing in online classified ads, donating to charity, or as a last-case scenario, throwing away.

Also, look for ways to reduce your load.

Canned goods may still have shelf life, but evaluate whether it makes sense to move or donate—it’s likely the latter. The same goes for other items you can easily and inexpensively purchase at a discount store when you arrive at your destination.

As you take inventory of everything in your home, be sure to clean, organize and sort the remaining items so they can be packed quickly and then easily found when you arrive at your new home.

Get secured before you move: Feeling secure and in control is an important part of transforming a new house into a home. A home security and automation system gives homeowners the ability to not only monitor their home’s security, but also control functions such as adjusting lights, unlocking doors and controlling thermostats—all with the touch

of an app. Plus, it can start working for new homeowners on day one, whether using it to grant access to trusted contractors and technicians or receiving alerts when deliveries arrive at the front door. In a new neighborhood and a new house, it will be a sigh of relief to know you’re in control both at home and while away.

Keep organized on moving day: Walk through the old home with your movers to identify how you’d like your items organized and packed. Let them know you want the house packed room by room, which will make it easier to unpack and place everything into your new house. If you have anything fragile, be sure to note how you’d like those items to be handled, saving you plenty of time and headaches in the long run.

Make yourself a happy place: Choose one room in your new home to be the room you completely unpack and organize on the first day. This gives you a restful sanctuary where you can retreat, even if the rest of your items are still in boxes scattered among the other rooms for several days to come.

Document and share the transformation: Use your smartphone or camera to document the change of your new home as your items are unpacked and placed. This allows you to see how your hard work has paid off.

With these tips, you can streamline your move and make it less stressful for you and your roommates.

OR0055_Glendale_PrintAd_Final.pdf

Aid to Women Center offers pregnancy resources Ana Anguiano • College Times The Aid to Women Center in Tempe offers healthcare and prenatal care for women who don’t know where to turn. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, they are able to provide a range of services that are either free or very low cost.

Kelly Sarotte, the director of the center and a registered nurse, started at the center as a volunteer. She says their main goal is letting people know they are there and ready to help and support anyone who comes in through their doors.

“We are not here to judge them in any way. We want to be here to support and care for them. Everyone is welcome,” Sarotte says.

The Aid to Women Center offers free pregnancy tests, ultra sounds, low cost women’s health care for women who don’t have insurance or don’t qualify for Medicaid, prenatal care and well women visits. The center also provides STI screening and education for men and women.

“It’s a warm and welcoming atmosphere and it’s confidential. Everything here is kept here,” Sarotte says.

But the center doesn’t just help pregnant women. The Earn While You Learn Program is aimed at expectant mothers and can be used until the child is one-year-old. The program gives mothers a chance to come in once a week and learn about parenting and receive baby items (diapers, baby clothes) or Mommy Money, which can then be exchanged for a larger item such as a stroller or high chair.

The Aid to Women Center will also be starting a men’s education program for dads that will be run by male volunteers to give soon-to-be dads help and resources as well.

Sarotte says many of the women they see don’t have insurance and make too much to qualify for state aid, so they rely on the center for their health care needs.

“We see everything from 15, 16-yearold girls that are in high school that think they might be pregnant to married women who don’t have any insurance and need somewhere to go to get their health care,” she says. “It’s a wide range of people.”

Many of the women who come into the center are frightened or unaware of their options, and Sarotte wants them to know that they are not alone.

“Some ladies come here with problem pregnancies or unplanned and they’re scared but we want them to know we’re here for them and we’re here to support them in their decision, and let them know that they’re cared about and there are resources for them,” she says.

Other clinics in the Valley include Life Choices Women’s Clinic and 1st Way Pregnancy Center in Phoenix.

Aid to Women Center, 2039 S. Mill Avenue, Suite C, Tempe, 480.966.1902, aidtowomencenter.org, open Monday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday 9 am to 6 p.m., Thursday 10 am to 6 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed on Saturday and Sunday

Some of the blades made

by JWB Manufacturing.

International exports seen as key to Arizona’s economic future Jamie Killen • Cronkite News Service Blades turned out by JWB Manufacturing wind up in wire cutters and strippers, carpentry tools and precision machinery.

Many of its products head to buyers in the Mexican state of Sonora as well as 11 other countries beyond the U.S., accounting for about 40 percent of owner Jeff Barth’s business.

Barth sees international trade, particularly with Mexico, growing for Arizona firms in coming years.

“The opportunities in Mexico are going to continue to come, and if we aren’t on board, building relationships, they will pass us by,” he says.

According to the International Trade Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Arizona’s exports of merchandise to Mexico totaled $19.4 billion in 2013. That makes Arizona the nation’s fifth-largest exporter to Mexico, trailing only Texas, California, Michigan and Illinois.

About a third of Arizona’s exports to Mexico are machinery, computer and electronic products, electrical equipment and appliances, and about a quarter of manufacturing jobs in the state depend on exports, the agency said.

Eric Nielsen, Arizona director for the U.S. Commercial Service, the trade promotion arm of the International Trade Administration, notes that Mexico is projected to have the world’s fifth-largest economy by 2050 and that the U.S. already enjoys a productive trade relationship with its neighbor to the south.

“Mexico’s got quite the future ahead,” he says.

To Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, international trade is a key to expanding his city’s economy. He featured it in his State of the City address earlier this year.

“Phoenix will double exports to Mexico in the next five years, and we will double

18

MAY 8 - MAY 21, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

our exports across the globe in the next 10 years,” he says.

Stanton has already attempted to form relationships in Mexico by leading eight trade missions since taking office in 2011.

He’s expanding on those efforts by developing a partnership between Phoenix and the state to open a trade office in Mexico City within the next few months. City and state officials expect Mexico to open trade office in Phoenix by the end of the year.

In making trips to Hermosillo and Nogales, Sonora, to promote JWB Manufacturing, Barth said he’s learned the value of face time and relationships to Mexican business leaders.

“Building a relationship is more important in Mexico than it is building a relationship in the United States,” he says.

Hank Marshall, acting director of the city of Phoenix’s Economic Development Department, says increasing trade with Mexico will create jobs in Arizona by tapping into that nation’s growing economy, making the state more relevant and competitive in the global marketplace.

He noted that Mexico boasts a fastgrowing base of technical skills and a growing middle class.

Arizona already operates a trade office in Hermosillo, Sonora, an area which the state already knows well, according to Marshall.

Expanding Arizona’s reach to Mexico City will increase opportunities, Marshall says.

“It’s where you go to forge relationships,” he said.

Todd Sanders, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, said Mexico City is important because of the Fortune 500 companies based there.

“They’re huge,” he said. “That’s where the power center is.”

He noted that in order to double exports to Mexico, Phoenix will have to keep its focus on trade through efforts such as the Mexico City office.

Outliars Comedy Club expands east Lynette Carrington • Special to College Times Outliars Comedy Club has been actively winning over fans all across the Valley with its brand of comedy and improv and with a cleaner approach to comedy. Now comedy lovers on the east side of town can indulge in what Outliars has to offer.

Dave Thurston, an Arizona State University alumnus who founded the Outliars Comedy Club in October 2012, tells the story behind the name.

“Early actors would be called hypocrites and liars because they would act like somebody else,” he says.

The name indeed encompasses the transitional nature of the type of comedy Outliars performs. It’s not just a straight, stand-up style comedy.

Comics are brought in to do completely improvisational shows and even roll with the attitude and suggestions of their audiences. As a result, no two shows are the same.

The newest Outliars location in Mesa debuted on April 18.

“I like the East Valley and I wanted to get as far east as we could and still be close to the freeway,” says Thurston of the Dobson Ranch Inn location. “We want to get as many people out as we can with the least amount of effort.”

The opening act for the first Dobson Ranch Inn show was Mark Cordes, who is considered a national headliner. He was happy to step in.

“I used to work at the Tempe Improv and Dave had an improv troupe down

there, so I got to know him,” Cordes says.

“I’ve gotten to know him and I’ve watched him as he’s done some really creative things marketing-wise. He contacted me a couple of months ago and asked me if I wanted to do a three-night run.”

The Outliars—who also perform in Scottsdale, Glendale and Chandler—keep the costs low by not requiring a drink/ food minimum.

“One thing we always say is that it shouldn’t cost you more to get out of the club that it cost you to get in,” Thurston says.

Stand-up, sketch comedy and improv classes are also offered by Outliars Comedy Club (check its website, outliarscc.com, for schedule). Classes are frequently taught by well-known and respected artists working in the industry.

“Improv is kind of the backbone of everything we do,” says Thurston. “We’ve been able to pull people from ‘Saturday Night Live’ and Second City to come work with us on sketch comedy, plus people from ‘Workaholics,’ ‘The Tonight Show,’ ‘The Office’ and ‘Arrested Development.’”

Outliars Comedy Club performs at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays in Scottsdale at Papi Chulos restaurant; 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Fridays at Dobson Ranch Inn in Mesa; 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Saturdays in Glendale at The Renaissance Hotel; and 7:30 p.m. Sundays Iguana Mack’s in Chandler. Call to make reservations for shows and comedy classes.

The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, Labeled by The New York Times as an “ honest-to-God, all-American satire,” The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity is a ballsy play that follows the life of two professional wrestlers. A finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer for drama, this theatrical play will leave you feeling body-slammed. Stray Cat Theatre, Tempe Performing Arts Center, 132 E. Sixth Street, Tempe, straycattheatre.org, through Saturday May 17, 7 p.m., $15-$25

“The Secret Garden,” This is not the same Secret Garden as the one on ASU campus (That’s actually a secret courtyard), but none the less this play should be equally as fun. It did, after all, win a Tony.

Based on the Frances Hodgson Burnett’s Edwardian novel, this play features uptight Brits opening up like neglected flowers.

CAN you handle it? Canned craft beer fest back for another year Claire Cleveland • College Times Are you can Ameri-can’t or an AmeriCAN? Either way, the AmeriCAN Canned Craft Beer Festival is just around the corner, and you can show your pride just the way our forefathers intended—with beer!

Hosted by Chandler’s SanTan Brewing Company, this fourth annual fest celebrates the canned craft beer movement, taking place during American Craft Beer Week.

There will over 250 canned craft beers from 60 different breweries, trucked in from all over the country. When the doors open at 1 p.m., thirsty fans will receive their four ounce specialty souvenir beer cans, which allow them to try 20 different beers. General admission tickets are $35 and sell out fast, so get them ASAP. With 250 beers unique in their brewing processes, ingredients and origins, no one beer can be given gold for the “best beer,” so nine different categories were created—one for India Pale Ales, American Pale Ales, English Styles and more.

In 2013, Hop Notch from Uinta Brewing Company won gold in the India Pale Ale category, Zonker Stout

by Snake River Brewery took the stout/ porter category and the Hell or High Watermelon beer from 21st Amendment Brewery was crowned the top in the fruit/ vegetable/spiced beers category. See one of your favorites? These beers might make

an appearance, but winners are up to the taste buds of this year’s panel of judges.

Not only will ticket holders get the opportunity to try craft beers, but there will be plenty of activities and food options to enjoy as well. With craft beer comes craft responsibilities like craft food and unique events. There will also be live entertainment provided by Catfish Mustache, Dry River Yacht Club and The Sugar Thieves with DJ Slippe spinning between acts.

Look out for the Beer Olympics and the Nano Beer Garden. Perform feats of strength at the Beer Olympics, which will allow you to burn some calories and make room for more food and beer. The interactive Nano Beer Garden serves up some delightful brew samples while patrons can learn about the beers and interact with vendors.

Looking for some food the pair with that liquid gold? There will be food trucks from all around the Valley. But if you want to really enjoy this event, the VIP ticket option puts you in prime situation for a great experience. It grants all access and exclusive entry into the VIP area, which will have catered food and treats, private potties and a special meet and greet with the brewers. Consider us sold!

Lily Lieberman • College Times Congratulations! You did it! You have survived four years (maybe more) of college and it’s time to graduate. You may be a bit bummed about leaving the only place with just two seasons (pool season and the one that doesn’t matter) for the harsh realities of the real world, but you have one more chance to prove you’ll never relinquish the Sun Devil name. It’s grad party season and more specifically grad pool party season. Go out with a bang and throw a wet n’ wild bash even Michael Crow would approve of.

Tubbin’ Want people to stay for more than the free food? The solution, my dear friends, comes in the form of kiddie pools and some warm water. Hot tub parties have been sweeping the UK for years now and have just landed in the US. A concept called Hot Tub Cinema lets you purchase a spot in a “hot tub,” and with that you’ll also get an open bar, popcorn, and a movie. Recreate this unique experience for your grad party with a couple of heated inflatable pools, a white sheet to project the film onto and some serious snacks.

Plexiglas Class up your soiree with Plexiglas covering for your pool. This isn’t really a DIY project unless you’re planning on ending the evening with a wet t-shirt contest. For a sizeable fee (so worth it though), you can rent a clear pool cover that doubles as a dance floor and dining area. Extra points for adding underwater lights or floating lotus flowers and tea lights.

Glow in the Dark EVERYTHING Coat planters, tables and trees with glow in the dark paint for instant mood lighting. Cover your pets at your own risk with pet-friendly paint.

Fire stuff First, get a fire pit. They’re relatively inexpensive (cheap ones cost around $40 bucks). Make it flashy and buy some rainbow fire crystals to create multicolored flames. Caution: Unicorns, rainbows and Bronies may appear.

Floating beer pong and Lawn Jenga Spencer’s sells these gems of a good time. Keep it cool for all ages with a rousing game of Lawn Jenga. Blocks of two by fours double as life-size Jenga

pieces. Stack them like you would in a regular game on a flat surface of your backyard.

Make your own guac station Halve avocados and place them in a large bowl on ice on a buffet table.

Place heaping bowls of tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño next to fresh lime juice and salt and pepper. Guests can then mix their own guac to their liking. If you want to go all out, buy tortilla chips from Chipotle – nothing beats that lime salt.

Seating is essential Grad party mingling is awkward. Once you’ve said hi to the host and stuffed your face with mini cupcakes, there’s not much left to do. Create some backyard seating, “Moroccan style,” with pillows, rugs and blankets.

Time Capsules Have each guest write down where they see themselves in one year and place all of the predictions in a box with a permanent address on the back. One year from your grad party, mail the envelopes and see if the predictions came true.

ain’t gonna happen, so here’s the next best thing.

Find a sunscreen you can stick to

Whether it’s a grocery store spray or a high-end brand, find the kind of sunscreen you want to use and stick with it. Unlike your face, a full-body sunscreen might not be necessary every single day if you’re staying mostly indoors. But if you’re having a pool day, you want to be protected.

Spray it on

Use protection: SPF not just for pasty nerds anymore Christina Caldwell • College Times Yeah, we know sunscreen isn’t exactly sexy. You’d probably rather show off a hot tan. Sunscreen is for pasty nerds that never see the sun thanks to their love of Cheetos and everything World of Warcraft.

We’re going to tell you something you don’t want to hear. Although your summer tan might look great, you’re doing damage to your skin in the long run.

We know, we know. You’re young and you don’t care. But before you know it, your early ‘20s will turn into your late ‘20s and early ‘30s, when most people begin to show serious signs of aging. And guess what? The tanned ones rarely fare well.

You might have good genetics on your side, which will help stave off aging for a while, but if you’re constantly in the direct Arizona sun, even genetics can’t save you forever. Tanned skin is actually sun damaged skin, and the more you tan, the more likely you’re going to develop brown spots, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

We get it. You have to walk to class and get on with your day in the AZ heat, but there are ways to prevent future aging (and skin cancer!) while looking great now. We devised a summer SPF regimen that will keep you looking hot... without the burning.

For the face

Wear sunscreen on your face every. single. day. Yes, this even applies in the winter.

Even on dreary days, UV rays still make

28

MAY 8 - MAY 21, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

their way through clouds. Wear SPF 45+ on your face every single day for optimum effect. (The FDA agrees that any SPF over 45 is basically just showing off, since 98 percent of damaging UV rays are blocked

by SPF 45. Use an SPF greater than 45 and the increased sun protection is negligible.)

But really, any SPF is better than none at all.

“But sunscreen is sticky, greasy and gross!

Why would I want to put it on my face?”

Nay, cheap sunscreens are sticky, greasy and gross. You can’t rock dat Coppertone without looking like a grease pit, but you can find affordable dry touch sunscreens at the grocery store and online. Here are a few of our favorites:

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer DryTouch Broad Spectrum SPF 45, $9, neutrogena.com

Elta MD UV Clear BroadSpectrum SPF 46, $26, dermstore.com

Basically a dupe for Elta MD Clear (minus the niacinamide), this lightweight, oil-free SPF provides protection without the oily feel. It does have a major leg-up on the Elta sunscreen, though. With this one, you get 3.5 ounces of product versus 1.7 ounce, so it’ll last you longer. Plus, the actual price tag is cheaper. (Search Makeup Artist’s Choice on retailmenot. com to find discount coupon codes that will make it even less expensive.)

Yeah, $26 is a lot to spend for a small 1.7 ounce bottle of sunscreen, but if you’re particularly breakout prone, this might be an ideal option. It’s a lightweight, oil-free SPF without the sunscreen smell. It dries to a matte finish and contains niacinamide, which is believed to help fade discolorations from sun damage and acne, increase elasticity and enhance the skin barrier.

Typically niacinamide would be a no-go for daytime skincare since it’s known to cause sun sensitivity, but the SPF negates the potentially damaging effects.

If you’re a daily sunscreen newb, this is a great starter option. Available at your local drugstore, this broad spectrum SPF (meaning it provides proportional protection from UVA and UVB rays) lives up to its name. It dries with a soft, sheer finish and looks great under makeup. Plus it’s non-comedogenic, so you won’t have to worry about it clogging pores.

Makeup Artist’s Choice Oil Free Sunscreen SPF 46, $21, makeupartistschoice.com

For the body

When summertime rolls around in Arizona, we want to shed our clothes and just stand in front of a fan all day. But that’s not realistic. Ideally you’d wear fulllength sleeves and pants to protect your skin from the sun, but we all know that

If you use a spray, make sure it’s not just a spritz but a proper dousing. For proper sun protection on your face, you need to use about 1/4 teaspoon worth of SPF. For your body, it’s even more.

Rub it in

Bargain barrel sunscreens can be heavy and sticky, but there are other options. We like Hawaiian Tropic’s Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF 50 ($11, drugstore.com). It has a light feel with proper protection and 80 minutes worth of water resistance. Plus it has a tropical fragrance that takes away that chemical sunscreen smell.

For the hands

Next to your face, your hands probably see more sun exposure than any other spot on your body. When you’re walking to class or driving to work, your hands are exposed to UV light. Realistically you could use your face or body sunscreen on your hands, yes.

If you’re using cheap sunscreen, though, your hands are going to feel sticky all day.

Reapply

Think of how many times you wash your hands during the day. Applying just once a day isn’t enough if you want the maximum SPF effect. Carry your sunscreen with you and reapply every two to three hours or as needed.

Hand care with SPF

The holy grail of hand care products exists, and it contains SPF. We’re surprised it took the beauty industry this long to come up with a hand lotion containing SPF but we’re glad they did. We like Avon’s Anew Clinical Absolute Even Spot Correcting Cream with SPF 15 ($8, avon.com). It absorbs well and uses glycolic acid to smooth the texture of hands while SPF protects from the sun.

Mother’s Day on a Budget

You really shouldn’t need a holiday to remind you to thank your mom for putting up with you, your whining and that teen rebel phase you more than likely subjected her to in the years preceding college. Now that you’re basically an adult, not screening her calls isn’t considered a “gift.” Here are a couple of ideas to thank the woman who at some point changed your diapers.

Christina Perri gets emotional on new album, tour

Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times These last 10 years have been life changing for England’s Holly Golightly. In 2007, she and partner “Lawyer Dave” found a farm near Athens, Georgia, with which they fell in love. She commuted to and from the United Kingdom before deciding to become a permanent resident.

Now she and Lawyer Dave, who are collectively known as Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, have released All Her Fault.

To create the album, the duo used donated equipment and instruments that their neighbors found in their barns.

Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times The voice behind songs like the weepy “A Thousand Years,” “Human” and “Jar of Hearts,” Christina Perri just can’t help but write emotional songs.

“I’m a girl. I’m a Leo. I’m Italian,” says Perri via telephone with a laugh.

“I don’t know why I’m as emotional as I am. I know that since I was 15 years old, whenever I feel something, I write about it. That’s what makes me feel better.”

Her latest missive is Head or Heart, which spawned the raw single “Human.”

“I would be writing these songs if anybody was listening or not. I totally mean that,” says Perri, the sister of Nick Perri, who formerly played guitar with Shinedown, Silvertide, Perry Farrell and Matt Sorum.

“I was kind of chosen out of the billions of people to get to do this for a living, to get to have my songs be heard.

I was very careful when I was working on album two. Now that people are listening, I didn’t want to write differently.”

She explains there were “like 20 more cooks in my kitchen than my first album.”

But that’s no knock on her team.

“I was just like, ‘No,’” she says. “I’m not going to do anything that’s not authentic. I just won’t. The people who already believe in me aren’t going to stop believing me. There was a lot of scary stuff and yucky stuff to get through to get this album exactly the way I wanted it to be. It all worked out where everyone was happy.”

Perri is happiest at her concerts, which she calls “a lot of fun.”

“I never thought I could say that before,” Perri says. “On my first tour, I was just figuring it out. Now I knew I wanted to take everyone with me, get them really high and really low.

“My show’s long enough now, since

Brit Holly Golightly finds home, inspiration in American south

I have two albums, that I can have a little break in the middle. We throw in a couple covers. We have a really good little light show. I have really, really emotional songs that I think people are going to have fun with where the fun is required, and they will feel stuff where the feeling is required. I’ve been watching the audience. I’m very present on stage.

I’m super dorky. Everyone can expect to see me in my most pure form, which is embarrassing and awesome at the same time.”

She admits, though, to checking out fans’ show reviews on social media, something that sounds like a nightmare.

“I don’t know if it’s a self-deprecating masochistic thing that artists do but I know we all do it,” Perri says with a laugh. “It’s the first place we look when

we do a performance. Everybody’s anonymous, but that’s the best.”

Judging from her fan mail, she’s doing just fine.

“It’s really, really incredible,” Perri says.

“I get, like, the most touching stories.

That’s the thing. It’s not about getting down in the club. It’s like, ‘Oh, this song helped me get through my divorce’ or ‘I listened to your music every day while I had a really hard pregnancy.’ It’s really emotional things. I’m connected to my fans from the heart. There’s no doubt.

We’re looking at each other, but our hearts are connected.”

College Times: How’s the U.S. tour going so far, aside from your vocal issues?

Golightly: It’s been going really well, aside from getting that rotten cold, which put me out of action for a couple of days. I soldiered on like a champ, though. People seem to like the set, which is made up of old and new songs.

How long ago did you move to the United States? Have you found it to be a difficult transition?

We found the farm in 2007, but I was still going back and forth for a long time. I wasn’t originally planning to be in the U.S. full-time, but over the course of time that is how it’s worked out. Georgia isn’t actually all that alien to me, in truth, since the culture is far more British in tradition compared to states that aren’t southern, so I’ve fit in easily. My only regret, I guess, is that I didn’t move to Georgia 10 years ago.

Has living in the U.S. inspired your music? It sure sounds like it has.

Well, I’ve been into to the same sort of music since I was about 17, and my narrow taste is, primarily, for black American music... early recorded gospel music, ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s R&B and soul, etc., so that spans everything from The Soul Stirrers right up to Parliament. I kind of lost interest in much music produced after the ‘70s.

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger and the record four years in the making Ana Anguiano • College Times It’s been four years since The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger released an album, but now the band, fronted by Sean Lennon and his girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl, are back with new music that is ushering them into a new pop direction.

We got a chance to pick Kemp Muhl’s brain and learn a bit more about their newest album, Midnight Sun, which is not only monstrous in sound but a culmination of years of work.

College Times: Hi Charlotte!

Kemp Muhl: Hey, are you calling from Arizona? That’s awesome. I love Arizona.

It’s so beautiful. It’s so fun to drive across America. Arizona is always one of the places I look forward to.

So where did these new songs come from?

They developed over many years, actually.

It sort of started five years ago. Originally Mark Ronson was producing a few of the songs. At that time we were really resistant to being pop, which is why we brought him in and he opened our minds to being more pop. And then we sort of took over from there and produced the rest of the record. It went though many different versions. The first version was a lot weirder and more epic and then we wrote a bunch of new songs and tried to limit ourselves.

Eventually it evolved into this and the last stage was getting Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT) to come in and remix it all for us. He made it also a lot more pop. It’s a bit of a Frankenstein album, really, that had many different versions.

MAY 8 - MAY 21, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

The sound is really huge. What kind of instruments did you use and why?

There are a lot of instruments. We are really interested in instruments that most people haven’t heard. Everyone is so used to hearing the same sounds, so we tried to mix in a lot of rare instruments that we’ve been collecting like a circus organ from the 1800s, a glass harmonica and children’s toys that are kind of broken and make weird sounds.

What was it like recording the album?

We were like kids in a sandbox. A lot of time it was just me and Sean alone in the studio. There was a lot of back and fourth and sometimes we would do a live jam with him on drums and me on bass.

What’s it like being in a band with your boyfriend?

It’s very turbulent at times but it’s very creatively charged. We can’t be together without drawing, or writing a song, or watching movies and dissecting them. We have very intense verbal attraction and we’re always arguing and bantering and that has created the spark for a lot of these songs. It’s intense working with your boyfriend, have you ever tried it? But it’s been amazing. We’ve both learned a lot from each other.

Wooden Indian Lilly Lieberman · College Times Three members of Wooden Indian pass around a bottle of whisky as they sit on a bench in front of the Dressing Room—the local band’s rehearsal space on Roosevelt Row. Muddy the dog lies at their feet and scores the last bite of a burrito they’ve been sharing. A fixture of the Phoenix music scene, Wooden Indian describe themselves on their Facebook page with a unique wit and casual self-deprecation that only adds to the genuine nature of their music.

They are, in their own words, fans of cheap thrills, people who make the first dance move, the beer special at Sunrise Market, and pathetic stabs at quitting smoking. College Times spoke with the band about their upcoming show at Crescent Ballroom on May 16.

You describe your sound on your Facebook page as Aquatic Afro-beat Symphony. What does that mean?

Wally Boudway: I think the project is about writing folk songs and then superimposing a lot of polyrhythm and melody on top of that.

So you don’t want to be a certain genre?

Austin Owen: You could compare it to Afrobeat and people say it’s really psychedelic and fluid like water. So Aquatic. Afro-beat.

Symphony. Because there’s a lot of people playing very delicately.

Let’s talk about the band.

WB: When I call something a band what I mean is a group of people with very unique chemistry that communicates through sound. I think bands that have those kinds of bonds are bands that make music we still listen to.

AO: Playing music can feel like talking

on the phone with someone sometimes.

If chemistry’s great, like two hours went by and you have fun the whole time. It’s trying to have that connection with a bunch of people who love being dynamic together.

WB: How I would describe our music is that if everyone played separately it wouldn’t be a song. It only makes sense when it’s all a conversation.

Do you have any immediate career goals?

WB: We’re finishing a record.

Doug James: I will always repair guitars and amps, because I genuinely love to do that. Austin’s leaving for the Peace Corps.

AO: I just felt like it was finally time. But then of course the way life goes, as soon as that dream starts becoming a reality [the band] starts to go crazy. We’ve been doing the craziest shit. It’s been the gnarliest year.

WB: We played on top of this roof. That was Austin being like “I got to do this before I leave.”

What’s your favorite song to play as a band?

WB: I’m really digging “Run Run Run.” That’s the newest song we’ve started playing. I feel like the new ones are usually our favorite.

AO: That’s one of the most fun parts of this band is there’s always new material coming and the most exciting part of having new material, like a relationship, is the first part of it. There are so many things you can do with this. The searching process is the most fulfilling.

POP CULTURE >>> Dan Monick

was at when he was writing the lyrics to these songs, specifically with respect to a relationship he was in a the time, but also more generally. It has more psychological weight to some than some of our pervious songs have had, because he felt the inclination to disguise things.

We Are Scientists’ dynamic works better than most marriages Ana Anguiano • College Times We Are Scientists are known for their loud and fast guitar jams that slap you in the face with their massive pop hands, but behind the scenes, the band is known for their sense of humor. It might not come out in their lyrics, but guitarist Keith Murray and bassist Chris Cain constantly duel in singing and joke slinging on stage.

It’s been four years since their last album but they have finally come back with their newest record, TV en Français, which was released March 3. College Times caught up with the every eloquent and funny Chris Cain about how the band works creatively and how they keep the spark alive.

College Times: From what I understand it’s been a while since the album was finished.

Cain: It was finished and essentially ready to distribute over a year ago, so the writing process I would say began in mid 2012. We did kind of write about half a record and throw it away because we didn’t think it was for us.

Why? It was kind of a Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads, not pastiche, but homage, I guess. It just didn’t feel like the right move for We Are Scientists so we scrapped all of those songs and started over with this new batch. But then of course, we decided to make the record without simultaneously starting the process of figuring out how we were going to distribute it and who was going to put it out.

We left that until after everything was completely done. It wasn’t pure laziness; it was our idea that we wanted whoever licensed the record to be really excited about the 10 songs we were giving them. We spent many months meeting with labels and things like that before we ended up with the fine team that is currently pushing the record (Dine Alone Records).

Did you come into this album with an idea of what you wanted?

I think our approach to making music is incredibly dumbed down. We basically try to from the beginning stages of weeding out little bits of melody that we

want to make songs, through the months in the practice space where we are working through complete arrangements and stuff, thought the studio time where we are putting the finishing sheen on things, all of our decisions are based on pure gut feeling that we either like something or don’t. As much as Keith Murray and my taste in music outside of We Are Scientists is actually quite different and we argue more than agree over any given band, when it comes to We Are Scientists stuff we pretty much always agree or one of us feels strongly, and the other doesn’t care. It’s pure instinct when it comes to how we make a record and what choices we make.

This album seems really personal.

What was it like when you first read Keith’s lyrics?

It was great. I like the fact that this album’s lyrics are so stripped of artifice.

There are still rhymes, which are the greatest artifice, but there’s no disguise laid over the situations. I think it’s to me an instantly much stronger record because of that. The songs inevitably paint a very vivid portrait of where he

You’ve been together for so long.

How are you not tired of Keith’s face?

I’m very tired of his face. But his jokes are still funny to me. I think the foundation of our relationship is absolutely our shared sense of humor.

We definitely have never lost the ability to crack each other up. I would say the other, slightly less sexy, quality that is important in maintaining such a long term relationship, often in such close quarters, is knowing how to shut up and leave each other alone, which is probably a problem a lot of marriages have. I know in romantic relationships when things are weird or feel strange you feel compelled to address it, and I think that can often do more harm than good. Things go in phases and often waiting them out is the way to go. It seems instinctively easy to do when it’s a platonic relationship.

I loved your bloody mess of a video for “Dumb Luck.” Were there any highlights while filming it?

The things that stick out the most are the things that were the most painful.

Obviously nothing was painful in the way it’s depicted in the video, because that’s all magic. It was extremely cold and we shot most of that stuff outdoors, if only because we were making such a mess.

One of the only shots I can think of that wasn’t outdoors is the shot where I’m getting my hand blended up in a blender.

That was in a fairly warm apartment but they decided we needed to make the smoothie out of equal parts ice and yogurt and strawberries for color, and I don’t know if you’ve ever stuck in a blender but when you blend up ice like that it gets super f*cking cold. Holding my hand in there for 40 seconds was more painful than I think blending it up with metal would be. I am not positive that’s true but the lasting effects were fewer. It was excruciating. That’s the highlight. [laughs] We Are Scientists w/Paws, The Rhythm Room, 1019 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix, rhythmroom.com, May 11, 8 p.m., $15-$18

Neighbors

Starring Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen, Zac Efron Directed by Nicholas Stoller Opens May 9 If the prospect of graduating college and becoming a fullfledged adult is giving you an ulcer, “Neighbors” will instead leave you in stitches (the good, funny kind).

Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen play Kelly and Mac Radner, a couple in transition.

Freshly minted parents, we’re introduced to a duo trying to strike a balance between their rave-filled pasts and boring suburban futures (complete with a montage of them trying to embark on a baby-proofed night of debauchery that ends up with them passed out from exhaustion before they’re even out the door).

But before they’re able to settle into the domestic boredom they’re begrudgingly beginning to accept, the pair is faced with a reality most post-grad homeowners secretly fear: a frat house moves in next door.

Kelly and Mac first attempt to convince Delta Psi president Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) and the rest of their collegiate neighbors (and themselves) that they’re still cool by welcoming them to the neighborhood and subsequently enjoy a “Spring Breakers” inspired party montage.

Nevertheless, when the couple tires of the constant all-night ragers and get busted for calling the cops, the prospect of idyllic coexistence devolves to a hilarious allout war.

“Neighbors” is the classic Rogen vehicle: a film with just enough plot (half of it plays like a montage of pranks) that flourishes thanks to a charismatic cast and the ridiculous antics they’re willing to partake in.

Speaking of charismatic, Zac Efron is finally able to shed the teen-heartthrob on-screen persona he’s been trying to shake off since dancing with basketballs in “High School Musical.” As Teddy, Efron embraces the role of the quintessential frat guy: young, dumb and on a mission to throw the most epic party of the year.

While it may be easy for your attention to get lost in Efron’s blinding smile, dreamy eyes and chiseled torso…

(Sorry, this may have started veering into fanfiction territory. Call me, Zac!) the true standout is Byrne.

Byrne, who was more or less the straight man in “Bridesmaids,” shines as an expletive throwing, determined momma bear more than willing to use feminine mind games to take down an opponent. She serves as both emotional anchor, when the comedy makes its requisite sentimental moments, and as a comedic equal to Rogen.

The movie moves at breakneck speed, rarely slowing down during its 96-minute runtime. While many modern comedies of the Judd Apatow era variety lose steam halfway through with an attempt to emotionally connect with an audience, “Neighbors” forgoes that route entirely. A sort of suburban war movie, it will have you full-on belly laughing.

Jorge Salazar · College Times

There’s just something about teen comedies that makes them a universal guilty pleasure. It might be the glossy and stylized reimagining of adolescent coming of age stories or the stereotypical archetypes we all recognize from our own high school experience. Regardless of the reason, everyone has a favorite teen flick.

While browsing through Netflix’s selection of teen comedies, I was not short of options. Nevertheless, reading the synopses and reviewing user ratings made it quite clear that not all teen flicks are created equal.

In order for a teen comedy to succeed, it must have a unique angle to keep it from becoming just another title in the queue.

Luckily, “G.B.F.” not only met the teen comedy standard, but also added a fresh spin on the coming out and of age tale.

“G.B.F.,” an acronym for Gay Best Friend, is the LGBT community’s answer to “Mean Girls.”

Michael J. Willett stars as Tanner, a classic teen protagonist. His conventionally attractive features are hidden under bad hair and ill-fitting clothing and he suffers from teen lead personality (aka pleasant but prone to making decisions one would normally side-eye in judgment).

Tanner is a closeted gay teen that is happy to blend

B+

into the background of the high school food chain, unlike his best friend Brent (Paul Iacono). Brent is strategizing his very own coming out as the first gay in their high school until greatness is thrust upon Tanner. In this case, it’s thrust upon him via a gay dating app and a public outing.

Suddenly, Tanner is a hot commodity because teens have yet to understand that making friends based on a minority qualifier is ignorant. Vying to make him their latest accessory is a trio of “It” girls.

Head blonde in charge Fawcett (Sasha Pietrese), sassy black girl Caprice (Xosha Roquemore) and virgin goody two-shoes Shley (Andrea Bowen) are stereotypical feuding clique queens that somehow come to the conclusion that being the gay kid’s best friend will give them the edge they need to win Prom Queen.

The ensuing hour runs through the necessary teen tropes. The main character goes through a makeover that includes adding product to his hair and buying skinny jeans, he falls out with his best friends and we discover that the ice cold teen queen (we’re talking about Fawcett here) is actually a sensitive soul.

And, like all good teen movies, nobody speaks like an actual teenager. These kids shoot out witty comments in lingo nobody is using with a finesse actual high schoolers lack.

Nothing about “G.B.F.” is inherently original, but the film moves briskly through its formulaic plot with a level of wit and energy that makes it an enjoyable experience.

“G.B.F.” stars Michael J. Willett, Paul Iacono and Sasha Pietrese. Netflix users rated it 3.5 stars out of 5.

We give it a B+.

Go FIGURE

By Linda Thistle

By Linda Thistle

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small nine-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only one.

(Answers below)

(Answers below)

Salome’s STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good week to look at healing bruised feelings and re-establishing weakened relationships.

It’s also a good week to start new projects and make new job-linked contacts.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Before you decide to close down a problem-loaded project and make a fresh start with someone else, try once more to reach a compromise with your balky partner. He or she might surprise you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Music and art dominate the week, giving the sensual Bovine a lot to appreciate. On the practical side, deal firmly, but fairly, with those who might try to undermine your work efforts.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While you continue earning points for your sharp negotiating skills, be alert for an attempt to undercut your efforts. You’ll need to provide solid facts and figures to stay in the game.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Good feelings continue to flow from your recent efforts to reconnect with family and friends. But be ready to defuse a dispute before it can disrupt all that peace and harmony.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A minor health problem might cause you to ease up on your usually busy schedule. But you’ll soon be back in the saddle and ready to pick up the reins and charge ahead.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A practical view of a romanticized situation could help to clarify some of its more confusing aspects before you make a decision that could be tough to undo later on.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The adventurous Sea Goat might be eager to take on a new challenge. But before you do, you might want to take some time to check out previously overlooked factors.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Pay more attention to what a recent spate of workplace criticism might say about your performance and not what you think it implies about you personally. Some flexibility might be called for.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A feeling of being overwhelmed by all that you have to do can be eased by setting priorities. Deal with the most urgent and time-sensitive situations first, and then work down the line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) With new information, and new promises of support (not to mention growing self-confidence), this could be a good time to restart a project you couldn’t quite handle before.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Creating a calm, peaceful place for yourself in the middle of a roiling emotional whirlpool this week starts when you, and no one else, decide how to make decisions about your life.©2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
