Child advocacy groups in northwest Arkansas are organizing events throughout the month of April to commemorate childhood abuse month. The Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter in Bentonville is organizing the annual Starlight Gala on April 27, which will include a silent auc-
tion and a concert by The Band Perry. The Department of Human Services is offering child abuse training sessions and participating in a day of silence on social media on April 17 to remember those affected by child abuse. Up until that event, they will be posting statuses and pictures related to child abuse. Law enforcement agencies and local businesses will also have pinwheels in their lawns
representing children who have suffered from abuse. Helen Ward, outreach advocate for Peace at Home Family Shelter, said she encourages students majoring in social work to volunteer at some of the local nonprofit child advocacy groups such as the women’s shelter in Rogers and the Child Safety Center in Springdale. “Any student, no matter where you work and what you do in your spare time, needs to
research signs and symptoms of child abuse because it makes it easier to report,” Ward said. “Being able to volunteer and work with kids one on one can teach them how to talk to a child who is being abused and how to help that child.” More than 6,700 children are abused or neglected in Arkansas each year, according to the Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter report. On a

The Pat Walker Health Center is creating a new program to further assist students in quick and easy on-campus health services. Surrounding campuses such as the University of Arkansas Medical School and the University of Arkansas in Fort Smith (UAFS) have had dental hygiene clinics present on campus for several years. While students and staff at the Fayetteville campus have been persistent on acquiring these services, nothing has been put into effect until recently. The planning for oncampus dental services be-
gins this spring, and services will hopefully be in place within the next two years, according to Mary Alice Serafini, director of the Pat Walker Health Center. “Dental services on campus are helpful because I can use my on-campus health insurance and create an appointment in between classes that is convenient for me,” said Carson Lane, UAFS junior. Services available for the UAFS campus include periodontal scaling and root planing, dental prophylaxis (cleaning), dental radiographs (X-rays), examination by dentist, topical fluoride treatment, oral hygiene instruction, and dental seal-

Megan Smith Staff Writer Residents’ Interhall Congress swore in new officers and voted on bill proposed last week—all three passed. RIC voted for new officers last week. Onnissia Harries remains as president, while three new officers were elected. Elizabeth Reynolds was sworn in as vice president, Cody Rader was sworn in as secretary-treasurer and Katherine Petit was sworn in as programs director. Cabinet confirmation involved the swearing in of Shantell Mathis as director of leadership development, Rachel Knight as national communications coordinator, Adrian Ordorica as director of advertising and public relations and Lauren Hake as director of sustainability. The three bills proposed last week included allocating funds to purchase new sound equipment, funds to assist with the People Respecting Individual Differences and Equality (PRIDE) talent show and funds to assist Holcombe Hall purchase a pool table. The bill to allocate funds to purchase new sound equipment passed. This will give $1,413 for the purchase of speaker cables, a soundboard, microphones and miscellaneous items. “We only own two microphones, which have proved not sufficient to the needs of the university community, and while we own enough speaker cords for all the speakers, many of them are very short, fairly old and newer and longer cords would be much more useful and practical,” according to the bill. The bill to allocate funds to assist with the PRIDE talent show passed. This will provide $800 for food, drinks and advertising for the event. “The goal of this event is to provide a safe and encouraging environment for any student to share what they love doing with other students, faculty and staff, include playing music, reading poetry, exhibiting art, etc. and through this, we

Amanda Mazili Staff Writer Student art exhibition are being displayed throughout Fayetteville during the month of April. The two exhibit receptions showcase the works of current M.F.A. and honors B.F.A. advanced sculpture and advanced painting students in the department of art. The first group honors thesis exhibition started the event with “Crafted Identities,” featuring the works of graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts honors students Em-
ily Chase, Melissa Love and Jeanne Vockroth. The exhibition will be on display until April 25 at East Square Plaza, located on the Fayetteville Square. The second group exhibition will close the reception April 26 with BYO. BYO will showcase the works by first- and secondyear graduate students as well as advanced sculpture, advanced painting and advanced drawing students. A variety of exhibits will be showcased throughout the month of April, including the works of advanced painting, sculpture and drawing students.
Eight advanced sculpture students will design and build installations for specific spaces, and the resulting projects will range from threedimensional works integrating sound and light to video installations, according to the Arkansas Newswire. The first exhibit presented by Dilenia Garcia entitled “Toile” opened April 1-5 in the Fine Arts Center Gallery, featuring a painting series that explored material culture in constructions of taste in manufactured fabrics. From April 8-12 in the Fine Arts Center Gallery, Nichole Howard presents the works of “Cycle,” featuring
ceramic pieces subsidiary to the yearlong experiments the artist tended to in growing her own food and medicinal herbs. An assortment of art exhibits will be presented throughout the month of April as graduate students’ thesis projects are put on display. Facilities Management and the department of art at the UA have generously supported these projects, according to the Arkansas Newswire. All events are free and open to the public at the department of art’s Fine Arts Center Gallery and at East Square Plaza.
DENTAL continued from page 1 ants. The UAFS campus is a model for talks and planning of what will be provided by the clinic on the Fayetteville campus. A main difference between the two clinics, however, will
be how they are run. At the UAFS clinic, students who are majoring in dental hygiene run the clinic, and services are also provided to the public. Services at the Fayetteville clinic will strictly be provided to students and staff, and
planning shows that the services are to be carried out by professionals only. Currently, students with health insurance through the UA are not provided with dental insurance, and many have to get supplemental in-
surance. The new clinic will cut down on the amount of students who must get supplemental insurance and encourage many students to opt into the UA health care plan rather than use private plans.

Most women who come into Peace at Home lack parenting techniques and strategies because they have been preoccupied with protecting themselves or their children from an abuser, Ward said.

Don’t Aim for the Minimum
Joe DelNero Opinion Editor It’s just what’s on my mind. Every day, I’m inching toward graduation, so every single day, I’m looking at job and graduation prospects. Everything I read is more promising. Economy is on the rise. KNWA News reported Washington County has one of the fastest-growing local economies in the nation. There are jobs available for college graduates. I’ve heard all the success stories. My sister graduated with a communications degree and is now running fundraising for a Catholic organization from Colorado west. A close friend of mine is headed to Dubai for a while with her job. One friend is working with Nike. And quite a few of my friends have jobs at KNWA and 40/29 right here in Fayetteville. It only gets me more excited for life and the endless opportunities after school. However, a recent article in the Wall Street Journal is bringing me back to earth. College graduates, even with the rising economy, are accepting non-specialty jobs at minimum wage. The WSJ reported this trend may continue regardless of how quickly the economy grows. Just last year,
284,000 college graduates were in these low-skilled jobs, according to the WSJ. While these numbers are down from the 327,000 graduates in lowskilled jobs in 2007, it’s still a double the number from 2007. The labor force with college degrees has been rising over this same period, so a large percentage of graduates are not at the “bottom of the earnings ladder,” according to the WSJ. However, this should be a reality check for seniors who haven’t looked at the job opportunities available to them. A minimum-wage job may be the only glamorous offering you get right after school. How long can you hold off without a job? In the case of emergency, if you need money, as most of us do, you will accept the first job you come across, regardless of wage. If nothing else, it will buy some time through a few months of rent while you look for the more specialized job. It isn’t what any of us want — minimum wage with a degree from a top-rate university like the UA. However, seniors who aren’t already looking for jobs and contacting potential employers, prepare yourself for all options, including a minimum-wage, low-skilled job. Don’t take the rising economy as a sure thing. Include a grain of salt. Understand there is still a lot of work to do and the job market is still competitive. If you aren’t getting the $50,000 job offer, you aren’t the only one. Joe DelNero is a senior broadcast journalism major and the opinion editor of the Arkansas Traveler.

The Upside to Being Vulnerable
Shawnya Wethington
Staff Columnist
To a certain degree, everybody likes to act. At one time or another, we all pretend like we know what’s going on or what we’re doing with our lives because we don’t like to show we are vulnerable. It’s scary. People overlook their weaknesses and focus on things they can excel at, because being vulnerable is bad … right? Most of us don’t want to claim our flaws. We hide them. We only present the most polished versions of ourselves, instead of the lessthan-pristine-but-far-moreaccurate versions. However, during the refining process, we can get a little too overzealous in our polishing. While we’re busy hiding our weaknesses, we buffer out a little bit of ourselves, too.
Without embracing ourselves — flaws and all — it’s difficult to be truly happy. In order to take chances, it’s important to learn to live with this vulnerability. When we come to terms with it, then we can look to better things. In a TED video from 2010, Brene Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston, interviewed people who thought of themselves as individuals worthy of belonging. They had a few characteristics in common, including an acceptance of personal vulnerability. “They believed that what made them vulnerable made them beautiful,” Brown said. In their interviews, they talked about the necessity of vulnerability. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it,” seems to be the reigning philosophy. It’s tough to leave the safety and assurance of what you currently have to seek something better. If the outcome isn’t a certainty, it’s even more difficult to make that choice. It’s impossible to regulate every aspect of your life. You can’t predict, let alone control, what other people do. No matter how hard you fight, there are going to be times when you are vulner-
able. Relinquishing control is necessary for growth. Sometimes you have to take chances. You have to make a blind decision and see how it plays out, hoping that it works the way you want. The larger chances you take, the greater your potential growth is. Being vulnerable can be scary, but it’s worth it. Careers, relationships, involvement in organizations or teams — these may require you to take a step out of your comfort zone. When you take chances, you open yourself up for opportunities that you wouldn’t have if you never strayed from the “safe path.” There isn’t a guarantee things will work out how you want. You may not get the job. You might have set yourself up for heartbreak. You might get cut from a team tryout. You can only plan things out for so long before acting on them. There comes a point when you have to make a decision. No matter how elaborate the dream, it just can’t compare to the real thing. When you let fear of failure rule your life, there are several other implications. Anxiety can lead to regret,
strained relationships or sensitivity to feeling judged, according to a Pat Walker Health Center pamphlet on anxiety. After you face your fears and decide to step outside of your comfort zone, the way things turn out is completely out of your control. You are going to be vulnerable. If things work out how you want, go celebrate. However, if they don’t work out the way you planned, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate. Either keep working to get what you want, or it may be time to direct your efforts in a different direction. Without that moment of vulnerability, however, you can’t move on with your life. Being vulnerable won’t always be easy, nor will it be a pleasant experience. However, if you want your life to move forward, it’s essential. It may be frightening, but the only way to reach your dreams is to accept your vulnerability and put yourself on the line.

TV Shows Reflect Cultural Attitude Hebron Chester Staff Columnist As followers of “The Walking Dead” know, season three ended a while back. So many college students love the show and, as a non-fan, I wondered why something so gruesome and disturbing could be so popular. Then I realized as a culture we’ve been getting darker and darker over the last 20 years, and this show is only an extension of that. The show business is becoming more extreme in order to shock and scare our desensitized generation. If you listen for it, every few days on campus you’ll hear a “zombie apocalypse” joke. It seems to be a normal college game: What would you do, what would you not do and how would you prepare for a zombie apocalypse? And my question always is: Of all our problems, why in the world are “zombie apocalypses” on the list? Then I realize all “apocalypses” are on the list, real and unreal. We are the generation of kids in 9/11. We’ve grown up in a culture infused with doubt. Doubt of our power and, in the aftereffects, doubt
of our government. We were shown we were not invincible, bad things happen and sometimes nothing can stop them. We’ve grown up in a time when science rapidly changed and, in turn, changed our beliefs. More countries developed the ability to create nuclear weapons. The biggest topic for years in our current-events essays and assignments was “weapons of mass destruction.” Of course our generation is going to be talking about “apocalypses” — we have been exposed to that way of thinking our entire lives. Look back at some of the most successful movies of all time. “Gone with the Wind,” a sentimental depiction of the Civil War; “Star Wars,” a Hollywood space western; “E.T.,” a story of friendship with an alien; and now the current top movie, “Avatar,” a story of domination by a lying government that has depleted Earth of all its resources with plans of depleting another planet of theirs. That might be a slight overstatement, but you get the idea. Our dark state of mind is not limited to television and movies. It’s in our literature, if not more so. The Pulitzer Prize-winning book “The
Road” by Cormac McCarthy could be considered the best post-9/11 novel. It isn’t even about how the world ends, but about the time after the world has ended. For younger readers, “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins is a not-so-farfuture depiction of a government forcing children to fight and kill each other every year in a publicized event. Compare that to 1993 when “The Giver” by Lois Lowry came out. We were too young to read it at the time, but it was a popular young-adult book that created a stir because of its use of euthanization by the government. That’s nothing compared to “The Hunger Games” and the controversy that has arisen from it. Imagine 40 years ago coming out with a book about children killing each other. It just wouldn’t have blown up into a huge success like the novels today. Even our children’s movies are starting to reflect our darkening culture. Take “Wall-E,” for example. A cute love story between two cute robots, until you realize humans have gotten fat, are out of control and have destroyed the earth, so they are floating around in space in a world of mindless food and entertainment.
Again, that might be a slight overstatement, but you get the idea. Our entertainment reflects our culture, which reflects our values and beliefs, which reflect where our thoughts and priorities are. At this time we seem to be pessimistic of what the future holds. We’re disillusioned with the government. Job prospects do not look good. And we realize we’re not safe from the world. Instead of escaping into better places of the imagination, we’re escaping into apocalypses. But everything travels in cycles. One day, it will turn around. Movies, books, shows and even media have all gone back and forth in the positive and negative portrayal of the world. There will be a time when we look back on our college years and wonder why we talked about zombies, death and destruction all the time. We’ll think, “Wow, we were pessimistic back in those days.” Well, maybe we will. That is to say if we live that long and the world doesn’t end before we get a chance to.

Hannah McGhee Contributing Writer Thinking about walking onto the weight floor at the gym can be an intimidating thought. Whether it is intimidating because of the “gym rats” that are always there, the bulkiness you are afraid you might pack on or that you simply would have no idea what to do once you got there. Contrary to what you might think, starting a weight-training program does not take much more than a basic knowledge of it. First things first: Learning some gym lingo will help you understand how to set up your program. For each weight exercise you do you have a number of sets to complete which each encompass a number of reps (short for repetitions). For example, say you are doing bicep curls. One complete motion for your bicep curl, meaning down to your side and lifting back up, would be one rep. So one bicep curl equals one rep. Say you did 12 reps and then put the weights down and rested for about a minute. You have completed one set by doing your 12, and after your rest when you start and complete
another 12 reps, you will have completed two sets. Next, an easy way for a beginner to start out is by breaking up their muscle groups by upper body and lower body. Upper body defines the upper half of the body, which includes primary muscles such as biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest and back. Lower body is the lower portion of the body,
which includes primary muscles such as legs and glutes. This is not the only way to split up your muscle groups, but it is a great place to start. Over one week, alternate doing upper body and lower body from one day to the next. For example, on Monday do upper body, on Tuesday do lower body, on Wednesday rest your
Page 5
muscles, on Thursday do upper body again, on Friday do lower body again and then rest on Saturday and Sunday. It is essential to avoid doing the same muscle group two consecutive days because this does not give the muscle group enough time to recover. Our bodies need to rest in order to rebuild. At the gym there is typically a free weight area and a ma-
chine weight area. The weight area contains dumbbells, barbells, benches, etc. and the machine weight area contains many machines, which mimic free weight exercises. It is up to individual preference whether free weights or machine weights are used and there is no reason that they cannot be inter-
mingled. Using both free weights and machine weights gives your body the variety that it needs. A few important things to keep in mind is to always start with a light weight to warm-up and then increase weight slowly to ensure safety. Another important thing is that form is much more important than weight. Maintaining the correct form guarantees results while pushing a heavy weight that prevents you from maintaining the correct form is not advantageous and also dangerous. Lastly, I am speaking specifically to women. A lot of females think that by adding weight training to their workout they will become bulky. Ladies, let me tell you, this is a myth. The results you want to achieve can be easily manipulated when using weights. If you want to tone your body without the bulk, then do a high number of reps (somewhere between 12-20) and a light weight. Alternatively, if you are trying to build muscle, then do a low number of reps (6-10) and a heavy weight. My hope is that you find this helpful because adding weight training has many benefits. Along with building muscle, you are also building confidence to make that weight room a whole lot less intimidating.

AMPed Up for Spring Bands Emily DeLong Copy Editor
Fans of country, bluegrass and folk should be happy with the Arkansas Music Pavilion’s upcoming spring lineup. Northwest Arkansas' largest outdoor concert space, located at the Washington County Fairgrounds, is featuring two bands this spring: Little Big Town and Old Crow Medicine Show. Upbeat country-pop group Little Big Town comes to the AMP April 19 at 8 p.m. The fourpiece band, two of whom come from Arkansas, have been making music since the '90s and are known for their melodious harmonies. They are touring in support of their newest album, "Tornado," which was released in September 2011 on Capitol Records. Opening for Little Big Town is David Nail, a polished and gentlemanly type country rocker. Born in Missouri, Nail has released two albums so far and is best known for singles "Turning Home," "Red Light" and "Let It Rain," all of which made it into the Billboard Top 20 country chart. Later in the spring, longtime folk-fusion band Old Crow Medicine Show will grace the AMP stage. On May 4, the day after dead day, at 7 p.m., the band will bring their part-folk, part-bluegrass, part-alt-country sound to Fayetteville. Lauded for their four well-received studio albums to date, Old Crow Medicine show has opened for Dolly Parton at the Grand Ole Opry and is a regular guest on NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion." Tickets for both shows are available in advance at the Walton Arts Center box office, at 479-4435600 or at waltonartscenter.com. The tickets that are left will be available at the AMP box office at noon the day of the show. Gates for both shows open at 6 p.m.
With winter days and warm sunny days in our future, spring has finally sprung and it is time to do some much needed spring cleaning. Spring cleaning is all about making those hard decisions everybody already knows the answers to, but nobody wants to say. Procrastination is any spring-cleaners worst enemy and the sooner you start the sooner you’ll be done. There are only a few words you need to say when deciding what stays and goes. Here it is: “I don't need this!” It's as simple as that. The first and most important step in spring cleaning is organization. I'm a firm believer in the mantra, "How you start is how you'll finish," so spring cleaning should be no exception from the rule. A good structural foundation of organization within your closets, dressers, etc. should be the ultimate end goal you want to achieve by spring cleaning. When I spring clean my ultimate goal usually is a combination of several desired end results. My top goal is always first and foremost to have more space. With more closet space you find clothes quicker and easier and if you’re a proclaimed shop-a-holic like me, space makes room for more clothes. I also have a goal to donate at least two large garbage bags of clothes to the Goodwill Do-
Courtesy Photo popular this year. Before throwing the item out I challenge you to try and find some use for it, or even put a modern twist on it to infuse some utility and life back into the garment. Another top reason why items are discarded is sizing. Fit is a major reason why
Blunt honesty is absolutely necessary to successfully make the transition from one year to the next. nation Center. Although two is a small number, with goals like these you definitely have quite a bit of work ahead of you. The most efficient way to start organizing your closet is to go through your closet from the most recent season that ended and start clearing things out from there. So let's start with winter, the season that seemed like it would never end. Go through your closet and sort through all the items that you did not wear this year. Next, evaluate why you didn't wear those items. The most apparent reason why a lot of people don’t wear items from year to year is because of trend-worthiness. Sometimes an item that was popular last year will not be
clothing items aren’t worn from year to year. Whether it is that the item has been stretched from its original shape or that it is no longer flattering to your body. An additional reason why some might opt to keep a piece of clothing may be weight goals. The only note to take heed of will be that you should give yourself a realistic and attainable timeframe to be able to reach the weight necessary to have the clothing item fit better. Diving deeper into the topic of evaluating your clothes, blunt honesty is absolutely necessary to successfully make the transition from one year to the next. Spring cleaning is just like dieting, moving, or doing any task that requires will of self and the determina-
tion to get rid of excess baggage. One thing I always try to tell myself is that letting go of a piece of clothing makes room for one more new item that can change your wardrobe. If the items you're going through were weather appropriate and they fit, you must ask yourself the question of why you didn't wear it. Following that, you must also evaluate why you still want to keep it. Sentimental value is not a label that can be put on every item you don't want to throw away or else its meaning is null in void. To help alleviate this transition from old items to new, or in other words moving from one year to the next, I suggest you get some practice using the skill of organizing the items you plan on donating or giving away to family, friends, or donation centers. Spring cleaning is an art of give and take, and is a constant tug-of-war battle between who you were, who you are, and who you want to be. This purging process is tedious and taxing. The last tip I will give you is to take your time sorting and break your closet into small more manageable chunks. If you stay dedicated to spring cleaning before you know it summer will be here and you’ll have room in your closet for a brand new style definition of you.

Hogs Drop 2 SEC Matches on Road
Zack Wheeler Staff Writer
The No. 14 Arkansas men’s golf team finished in fourth place at the Aggie Invitational over the weekend. Sophomore Thomas Sorensen posted a 4-under-par 68 in the final round Sunday afternoon at Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas. Arkansas entered Sunday in sixth place, but a team score of 6-under-par moved them up two places for the finish. The round was the second lowest round of the event, with a field including nine top-25 teams in the nation. No. 2 Alabama posted an 18-under-par to secure the victory in front of No. 21 Kent State (even par), No. 4 Washington (+4), Arkansas (+5) and the home team, No. 23 Texas A&M, and No. 5 UCLA at a tie at 6-over par. “We had a great day today,” head coach Brad McMakin said. “Thomas was on target all day and as a team I could not have asked for a better final round. This was perhaps the toughest field that we have played against all year and to come back in the final round and pass some very good teams tells me that we are playing our best golf at the right time of year.”

Segou Jonker returns the ball at the Arkansas v. Georgia tennis match, Sunday, April 7.
Cameron McCauley Staff Writer The Razorback women’s tennis team dropped two Southeastern Conference matches at Tennessee and Georgia over the weekend, but beat Kennesaw State to bring their record to 11-14 and 3-9 in conference play.
The weekend began Friday at No. 28 Tennessee, where the Razorbacks got off to a good start in doubles play. Claudine Paulson and Segou Jonker dropped the first set to the Lady Vols No. 3 doubles team in the nation, Brynn Boern and Kata Szekely 8-4. The next two Razorback doubles teams rallied back to clinch the doubles point with
victories. Kimberley-Ann Surin and Ana Lorena Belmar Hernandez won their doubles set 8-6, as did Yang Pang and Brittany Huxley by the same score, giving the Hogs a crucial doubles point. “We got off to a good start in doubles,” head coach Michael Hegarty said. Arkansas struggled in singles play, but did earn a win

Decathletes Compete at Home

With the rest of the Arkansas track team taking the week off after celebrating an indoor National Championship, only the decathletes competed for the Hogs in the John McDonnell Combined Events in Fayetteville. Three Hogs competed in the event, along with two Wichita State runners and a handful of unattached athletes. After day one of the event, Matt Kirbos led the Hogs with 3,644 points after completing half of the decathlon. The senior finished day one in fifth place overall. In the 100-meter, he finished third with a time of 10.97 seconds, the first time in his career running a sub11 second time. Kirbos put up another third-place finish in the next event, the long jump, where he jumped 7.06 meters/23-2. In the shot put, Kirbos had a personal best of 12.72

With only four events finished at Sunday’s portion of the John McDonnell Combined Events, the Hog women’s track team managed an early lead over other competitors in the heptathlon. Senior Makeba Alcide ended the first day of competition in first place in the heptathlon and never lost the lead after that, ending with a score of 5,882 points to take the lead in the NCAA. Alcide did not begin with such a lead, as she finished second in the first event of the day, the 100-meter hurdles. Alcide’s time of 13.81 seconds gave her 1,005 points to kick off her momentum. The 100-meter hurdles was the only event Alcide didn’t win Sunday. The next event saw Alcide break the school record in the high jump. Alcide’s final clearance of 1.88 meters/6-2 topped the previous record from 2003 of 6-1 1/4. The
jump added 1,080 points to her score and earned Alcide the Arkansas indoor and outdoor school records in the high jump. The jump also set Alcide at No. 2 in the high jump in the NCAA and at a tie for No. 1 in the Southeastern Conference. Alcide continued her high scoring in the shot put, taking the title with a final measure of 12.89 meters/42-3 1/2. The first-place finish and new personal best gave Alcide 720 more points. The final Sunday event, the 200-meter race, was again led by Alcide, who finished at 24.61 seconds. At the end of day one, Alcide had collected 3,728 points with the addition of her 200-meter score of 923 points. Monday concluded the meet with the final three events: the long jump, javelin and 800-meter run. Alcide’s second long jump of the day landed at 5.64 meters/18-6, earning her a

The Masters: A Celebration of a Tradition-Rich Sport
Zach Wheeler Staff Writer This week marks the beginning of golf season for many people. Some people will begin to drag their clubs out and shake the dust gathered over the winter.
Not only is the weather getting close to perfect here in northwest Arkansas, many golf enthusiasts will gather in a town in Georgia by the name of Augusta. That’s right, the Masters has arrived and marks a point where golf bursts back onto the scene again. Golf has captured a lot of attention this year in large part because of three victories by Tiger Woods. Despite his past and his ability to come off very arrogant, he wins and we all watch and awe at what he has been able to accomplish not only recently, but his whole career. Augusta National was
opened in 1933 by co-founders Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts. It only took one year before the first Masters was held and won by Horton Smith. The famous green jacket that every winner now puts on was not introduced until 1937, however. I have been calling the tournament the Masters thus far, but actually it was not given this formal name until 1939 when Sam Snead put on the green jacket. The Masters is full of a very rich history. Essentially all of the best players ever have won or at least played in this tournament. Arnold Palmer, Gary Play-
er, Snead and Woods all fit into this category. Many players play with every ounce of passion just to qualify for the field. The first major of the year brings about its share of talent and drama to kick off a stretch that the professionals prepare for every offseason. The par-3 contest has also been a major part of this historic venue. This event is held on the eve of the regular event as a stress relief and dates back more than half a century. The inaugural event was held in 1960 and was won by Sam Snead, who won again in 1974. The field contains tournament participants, past champions and honorary invitees.
The holes vary in length from 70 to 140 yards and play over DeSoto Springs and Ike’s pond. There have been a collective 75 hole-in-ones in the event, including five in 2002 to mark the best all-time. The par-3 event is both a stress reliever and a curse, in some ways. No participant who has won the par-3 event has ever gone on to win the actual Masters in the same year. Many participants can just play for leisure and not post a score to enjoy the young caddies and family friendly feeling this event brings every year. Many people feel that Tiger Woods is a favorite to slip
the green jacket on once again this year, which would make his fifth. Woods is chasing the mark at Augusta set by Jack Nicklaus’ heralded six victories. Last year’s champion Bubba Watson provided the gallery with plenty of drama Sunday last year to earn his first major. Another dark horse could emerge this year and snatch the jacket away from Woods or any other big name player that fans may expect to win. Zack Wheeler is a writer for the Arkansas Traveler.

well. Arkansas dominated Kennesaw State in the morning match with a 7-0 victory. No. 47-ranked Pang won in three sets, as did Huxley and Jonker. No. 97 Paulson, Flavia Araujo and Sarah McLean all won in two sets against the Owls. The three doubles teams that played against Kennesaw State also won easily by scores of 8-2, 8-2 and 8-1. Georgia was the second top-three team the Razorbacks have faced in the past two weeks, after playing No. 2 Florida in Fayetteville March 31. The Lady Bulldogs swept
Arkansas in the afternoon match 7-0. Pang was the only Razorback to win a set against Georgia, but fell to No. 8-ranked Lauren Herring 4-6, 6-3, 1-0. In doubles, the Araujo/ McLean combination were tied with Georgia’s Lilly Kimbell and Ayaka Okuno, 4-4, but the match was suspended. The Paulson/Jonker and Pang/Huxley duos fell in 8-3 and 8-2 sets, respectively. “I thought they played the best doubles we have seen this year,” Hegarty said.

Franks added 723 points with a third-place finish in the high jump with a jump of 1.91 meters/6-3 3/4, but after crossing first in the 400-meter, he was disqualified to drop him into seventh in the overall standings. The final Razorback in the event was Julius Sommer, who competed in his first collegiate decathlon. After day one, Sommer landed right behind Franks in eighth place with 2,855 points.

Freshman Taylor Moore led the Hogs throughout the tournament as he tied for eighth overall with a score of 2-under-par. Moore was six strokes behind the leader of the tournament, and posted his second consecutive sub-par tournament score and third straight top-20 finish. Moore birdied his first hole and was 3-under through five after posting his first career eagle. He finished the round with only one bogey and played par golf to polish off his 2-under round.
Junior Sebastian Cappelen’s 3-over-par tournament performance earned him a spot in a tie for 18th individually and Arkansas’ second best score. Cappelen posted his best round Sunday with 2-under par with three birdies and a lone bogey on the round. Cappelen’s birdie on 18 was enough to move Arkansas into the solo fourth-place finish to avoid a three-way tie. Sorensen’s round of 4-under propelled him from a tie for 46th into a tie for 23rd individually. His season-low
round of 68 was highlighted by a bogey-free and fourbirdie performance. Sorensen jumped out early with three birdies on the first eight holes and remained steady with his final birdie on hole No. 12. Senior Austin Cook shot 2-over-par Sunday, following his round of 4-over-par saturday to finish 32nd overall. Cook bogeyed three of his final five holes to erase the 1-under-par he had put together the first 13 holes of the afternoon. Junior Joe Doramus finished in a tie for
38th individually with a final round score of 2-over-par. Freshman Nicolas Echavarria competed as an individual in the event and moved up 10 spots after shooting even par Sunday. Echavarria jumped out with two birdies in the first six holes but a couple of late bogeys put his score back to even to finish the round. Arkansas will return to the field April 19-21 when they compete at the Southeastern Conference Championships at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Ga.
