Jaime Dunaway Staff Writer Graduating seniors could face on average up to $21,000 dollars in student debt after

college in the midst of a slowly recovering economy, according to the Office of Institutional Research. “I encourage students to borrow as little as they need because they’ll eventually have

to pay it back,” said Philip Logan, associate director of financial aid. However, for some students, like Ben Batchelor, senior human resource management major, taking out

multiple loans is the only way to pay for higher education. In addition to taking out loans, Batchelor is working his way through school to help pay for

Pomfret Hall Stoplight Party Is “Definitely a Go” David Wilson Contributing Writer When one thinks of Pomfret Hall Honors Quarters, they may come up with a number of scenarios including long study hours, discussions about advanced science courses, dreams of working for NASA or any number of academic related topics. But on Sunday, Feb. 10, the students of Pomfret had an entirely different area of study on their minds. Pomfret hosted their first “stoplight party” Sunday, a popular themed event held across college campuses and house parties nationwide. The goal of these sorts of parties is to link together potential partners through a clever color coding method, meaning that attendees wearing red are a no-go (already in relationships), those wearing yellow aren’t quite sure of their status and those wearing green are single and ready to mingle. When asked about their

expectations for the events, many like the “green-shirted” freshman Lexi Wallace, responded simply with, “cupcakes,” but as the night progressed it was clear that students were enjoying commingling with the opposite sex a lot more than the pastries. Smiling, laughing and dancing with a bit of “wobbling,” students quickly loosened up to the themed event. The event was hosted by local resident assistants, hoping to lure students away from the sometime perilous academic environment that is the UA. “It keeps us sane,”said Kenneth Hamilton, freshman. Apparently many others in Pomfret thought the same, as evidenced by packed dance floors and numbers that easily approached 100. While certainly not as popular as big stoplight parties hosted annually by fraternities such as Lambda Chi, this year’s Pomfret fiesta will be remembered as definitely a “go.”

RIC Might Add Hillside Seating Staff Report RIC has proposed to allocate money to help ASG pay for 3 tables that will be placed outside of Hillside Auditorium. The three tables with be made of stone or concrete and will cost about $4,500, said Onnissia Harries, RIC president. Two tables will have ASG’s name on it, and one table will have RIC’s name on it. ASG will pay 75 percent of the cost leaving about $1,000 for RIC, said Harries. Other legislation introduced during the meeting included a proposal to allocate $800 to help pay for a dance event in Holcombe Hall that will take place during diversity impact week. This money will help to cover the cost of catering from Kosmos, Taste of Thai and Qdoba’s. Last year, about 1,000 people attended the event, said Rachel Knight, RIC senator. The two pieces of legislation will be voted on 6:30 p.m. next Monday in the Graduate Education Building. Also Nathan White, RIC senator was confirmed as Sustainability Coordinator, a new position that was created and a new RIC senator was inducted. Harries also let the senators know that a new housing building should be completed by March 2014. The building will be constructed by the Tyson Child Development Building. On April 2, RIC and ASG will be having their first joint meeting, said Jordan Lutrell-Freeman, president of senate. The two groups will also have their annual joint retreat in two weeks.

BRIDGE continued from page 1 funded, but federal funds will only pay for 80 percent of the projected costs. The flyover bridge is a project planned to address traffic problems and will serve as an alternative route for northbound drivers on College Avenue who usually make a Uturn at Joyce Boulevard to get to the Fulbright Expressway. “The bridge will provide a direct connection from College Avenue to Fulbright Expressway and to the Target and Kohl’s shopping area,”

Brown said. “This will alleviate the traffic at Joyce and College, and will provide better access to the Uptown shopping areas and restaurants.” Two other projects that are already in progress are a roundabout at Futrall Drive and an extension and widening of Van Asche Drive between Gregg and Garland Avenue. The flyover bridge project will be completed by June 2014, Brown said.

some of his educational costs and daily expenses. For students who must get loans, the Office of Financial Aid recommends federal subsidized loans because the government pays the interest during college. Subsidized and unsubsidized loans are not credit-based, which qualifies students to receive a loan if they meet eligibility requirements.

Senior Human Resource Management Major After graduation, some students may have a six-month grace period before they must begin paying interest depending on the type of loan, Logan said. It’s important for students to pay off loans quickly because of accumulating interest, he said. Students should have a plan on how to make payments. “A lot of people, of course, can’t afford to pay off (loans) quickly, and they just pay the minimum,” Logan said. “Life happens, and you have other bills.” Furthering the predicament is the less-than-healthy economy, which makes it more difficult for students to receive a steady source of income to pay off their debt. Although unemployment has decreased over the last year, the economy is still in recovery. Batchelor said he is worried about finding a job after college, but that the only plan he had for quickly paying off his student debt was to “get a job.” For students who have loans, the Office of Financial Aid has resources on how to manage payments after graduation. The National Student Loan Data Systems is a website that allows students to view all of the federal loans they borrowed during school. If students have trouble making payments, they can call their lender and ask for help, Logan said. “A lot of times it’s just a phone call, and they’ll put the loan on forbearance and you have more time to make payment,” he said. There are also several different payment options based on income that students can utilize to pay off loans faster. Students are taking many price-cutting measures to increase savings to pay off student debt. “Live within your means,” Batchelor said. “Don’t act like you’re making a big paycheck until you actually are.” Some options include paying off loans that have the highest interest rate first, saving loose change, carpooling and avoiding credit cards around the holidays. Despite cost-saving measures and help for paying off debt, students are calling for university and government officials to make college more affordable. “I think one of the biggest things would probably be to help lower interest rates on student loans,” Batchelor said. “They also had that proposition to do school for $10,000 or less here recently, and it’s all online classes, but that doesn’t appeal to me.”

A UA student voluntarily launched a Korean language RSO, which is not the one of the languages currently taught at the UA. There are many Korean exchange and visiting students at the UA, and many were interested in taking a Korean language class. Rallied by his fellow students’ wishes, UA student Scott Lavigne decided to start a Korean language RSO called “Say Kimchi” that teaches not only the Korean language, but also Korean culture. The class will start Feb. 13 from 6-7 p.m. for the beginner class and 7-8 p.m. for the intermediate class. Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean food made of many different vegetables with spicy seasonings. “We noticed that people who want to learn Korean have increased, and they want a Korean class on campus,” said Scott Lavigne, the RSO’s president. “I am not sure why there was no class to begin with, but now there is. Students sign up simply by coming to the class, and it is completely free. There are beginner and intermediate classes.” Lavigne studied abroad in Korea for a year, so he knows

the culture well. Many students around him ask him about the language and culture. “The reason I started to open a Korean class is because I had so many friends asking me to teach them Korean,” Lavigne said. Lavigne thought it would be nice if he could teach the language to many students all together with Korean-native volunteers, he said. Also, they

could share the differences between American and Korean cultures, he said. There are many other language classes besides Korean, but students appreciate that students attend the Korean class of their own free will. “It would be interesting to have Korean class on campus,” said Pink Neyone, UA student. “Korean entertainment has become a pretty major influence in my country, Vietnam. So I have learned Korean by myself. I believe that teaching languages ties with teaching cultures.”

AMP Requests Two-Year Expansion at Fairgrounds

Fat Tuesday Celebrations Come to Fayetteville

Stephanie Pullin Staff Writer

Jeannette Bridoux Staff Writer

The Arkansas Music Pavilion, also known as the AMP, recently asked the Fayetteville Planning Commission for a two-year extension to continue to have concerts at the Washington County Fairgrounds until 2014 if the AMP has not found a permanent location by then. “The fairgrounds have served as the AMP’s home since last year, and we are committed to being there in 2013 as well,” said Hailey Ray, communications intern for the Walton Arts Center. “The fairgrounds have proved to be a great site, allowing us to expand the diversity of programming and bringing more people to the AMP than ever before.”

According to their website, the AMP is ranked as one of the top 100 amphitheaters in the nation. It has brought headlining shows to northwest Arkansas for the past six years. A number of popular artists from different genres have had concerts there, including Luke Bryan, Hank Williams Jr, Colbie Caillat, Ted Nugent, NEEDTOBREATHE and Five Finger Death Punch. Last year, ticket sales had a 300 percent increase compared to the previous year. This is partly because of the mix of artists in all genres, including rock, heavy metal, pop and country, Ray said. The City of Fayetteville may request $24 million in bonds to help with the AMP and Walton Arts Center expansions. Peter Lane with the Walton Arts Center requested $8.5 million from the Advertising and Plan-

“The fairgrounds have proved to be a great site... bringing more people to the AMP than ever before.”

Fayetteville residents can enjoy the Fat Tuesday without leaving the state. Various events will take place in Fayetteville and on campus. Saturday’s parade started on Dickson Street and ended on West Avenue. The parade included floats, costumes and beads to kick off the celebrations. The Demented Krewe, along with Krewe of Olympia, Calliope Krewe and Barkus Krewe, volunteers every year at Mardi Gras to help carry on the parade’s 20year tradition, according to the Fayetteville Mardi Gras website. The group will host the Fat Tuesday pub crawl beginning 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Events on campus include Mardi Gras Hogs, a program put on by University Pro-

“The Fat Saturday Parade of Fools.”

Communications Intern for the Walton Arts Center Kendall Pendergraft with the Washington County Fairgrounds said they are “excited” about the AMP wanting to continue to have concerts with them. The Walton Arts Center expansion is going well, with the top priority being their Fayetteville expansion, which includes 30,000 square feet of space added to the current campus. “As the city moves forward with plans to build a new parking deck on the side of our administrative offices, the Walton Arts Center Board of Directors voted to ‘fast track’ efforts for the Fayetteville expansion so the projects can happen in a coordinated and cooperative manner,” Ray said.

ning Commission. The funds would be used on improving the Fayetteville campus to keep up with its current level of programming and it also would be used to transform Dickson Street. Other projects include expanding the AMP and finding it a permanent home in Fayetteville for 2015. Some city commissioners think funding a sports center instead would be a more profitable investment. It could bring events to the area but would cost millions of dollars. It would take 25 years to pay off the two bonds according to a city memo. A decision about the bonds will be made during February’s city meeting.

time, said Dixie Rhyne, member of the Demented Krewe. Bellard’s Event Management organized Mardi Gras in conjunction with the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce, Rhyne said. “In 2003, the sponsors let it go and the Demented Krewe chose to incorporate under the name Committee for Mardi Gras Inc. and resurrected the event under the new name, ‘The Fat Saturday Parade of Fools,’” Rhyne said. In 2005, the Krewe, with the help of Billy Zydeco Band, started performing a parade, Parade of Pearls, at the city hospital, Rhyne said. The additional annual parade is not only given to benefit the residents, but to honor Suzanne Ray, who instigated the event. Audiences can expect to see the Demented Krewe selling traditional Mardi Gras supplies before and dur-

grams, that will take place from 12 a.m.-4 p.m., Tuesday in the Arkansas Union Connections Lounge and the Mardi Gras Party, sponsored by the Kappa Chapter of Phi Sigma Rho, will take place from 7 p.m.- 8 p.m. in the Union Room 305. The Demented Krewe, also known as Krewe Dementia, was formed in 1992 when a group of friends volunteered to put on Mardi Gras at Ozark Mountain Smokehouse, according to the Fayetteville Mardi Gras website. Mardi Gras began financed out of pocket and today has 23 sponsors, including Jose’s, KUAF and many other local businesses. The Demented Krewe now has 15 working members at any given point in

ing the event, Rhyne said. The first official Mardi Gras parade started in 1999 when a newly formed Krewe of Olympia decided to join the celebration, according to the Fayetteville Mardi Gras website. The tradition continued with the addition of Calliope Krew and Barkus Krewe. Krewes and other outside volunteers all share a passion for Mardi Gras. “None of the organizational staff receive compensation for their time, and all money raised goes toward the expenses incurred in putting on the Krewe’s events,” Rhyne said. Because of the dedication the Krewes have to the event, Fayetteville Mardi Gras lives on.

Pro Athletes should be more Charitable

Katherine Kortebein Staff Columnist The Super Bowl XLVII was on Feb. 3 and while watching it, I started thinking about how much professional athletes are paid and how their money could be used to help others. In 2011, the average NFL player made around $1.9 million and the minimum rookies made was $770,000, according the Bloomberg Businessweek Magazine. I am sure this number has only gone up in the last couple years. Peyton Manning, quarterback for the Broncos, had a salary of $18 million this past season, according to Sports City. Sports City also gave a list of the salaries for players in the NBA and MLB. According to them, Kobe Bryant was paid $27,849,000 for the 20122013 season. LeBron James was paid $17,545,000 and the lowest number I saw was around $475,000. In the MLB, Johan Santana, for the New York Mets, will be paid $25,500,000 and the lowest salary I saw was $100,000 for a buyout. These salaries are all higher than those of people whose job it is to save lives and help other; such as, firefighters, doctors, police officers, social workers and teachers, which I find absolutely ridiculous. There are 32 NFL teams in the U.S. and each team is allowed to have 53 players on its roster, bringing the total to 1,696 players in the nation, according to Infoplease.com. There are 30 teams in the NBA and a maximum of 15 players on each team which makes a total number of 450. In the MLB, there are 25 active players and 30 teams which makes a total of 750 players. If we added the number of players from the NBA and MLB to the NFL players, the total number increases to 2,896 professional athletes. If each of these players donated

$1,000, this would be $2,896,000 that could go to helping those in their surrounding communities. The $1,000 would only be 0.13 percent of an NFL rookie’s salary, 0.21 percent of the lowest paid NBA player, and 1 percent of the lowest paid MLB player. These are such small amounts of the players’ annual salaries, but would be a huge donation for charities in need all across our country. For example, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America foundation is a great program mentoring children around the country to ensure they are given the best opportunities possible. This is not only helping thousands of children, but also creating a brighter future for America. Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has 370 agencies across the nation and supports over 250,000 children annually. With the money from the NFL, $7,827.03 could go to each agency or $11.58 to each child. This does not seem like much, but this is if each player took a mere 0.13-1 percent out of their annual paycheck. The ideal situation would be if more was taken out or if the players offered to donate more. In 2005, Dikembe Mutombo, of the Houston Rockets, had given back $7,945,682 through his foundation, which paid to build a three-hundred bed hospital in his native country Congo, according to the Wall Street Journal. Peyton Manning’s Peyback Foundation gave money to 28 foundations, which help at-risk youths, totaling $1,424,631. Brian Griese, of the Chicago Bears, began Judi’s House and has given $1,252,404 to help support children who have lost loved ones. More recently, the Tim Tebow Foundation, which helps brighten the lives of orphans and children with life-threatening diseases, raised over $4 million in its first year, according to The Huffington Post. If all 2,896 professional athletes chose to do as much as these previous athletes did, our nation would be a much better place. It is my hope that these athletes will choose to become so generous in the years to come. Katie Kortebein is a staff writer for the Arkansas Traveler.

Millennials Want Bang for Charitable Buck

Clara Spann Staff Columnist “The Millennials,” as this generation has been dubbed, seems contradictory when it comes to philanthropy. In 2012, Millennials seem to be less concerned for others than the preceding generations, according to an article in the American Psychology Association’s Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. However, a project called the Millennial Impact claims we care a considerable bit. Apparently around 75 percent of us have given donations to charities, and 70 percent have even appealed to their family and friends to help. From my window on the UA campus, I agree with the Millennial Impact. Greek houses adopt their own philanthropy

issues, RSOs are formed purely for community service and there are 5Ks, concerts, movie showings, food sales and more benefiting some charity every week. Furthermore, the people I know—and I myself—want to help those suffering here in the US and around the world. However, I have observed a general caveat. We want to help… as long as we get something out of the deal. We are capitalist in our caring. Think with me. How many times have you seen a banner on a website or in a store pleading, “Buy this T-shirt/purse/ handmade toilet seat warmer and we’ll donate all the money to feed children in Africa?” Those offers appeal to me, especially when the T-shirt (preferably V-necked, of course) colorfully announces to those in my presence I helped feed starving babies in Africa. Being gut-honest, I’m pretty likely to fall for this deal, as are most people I know. Yet I’m not likely to drop a $20 in a donation basket and walk away emptyhanded. It goes deeper than material things, though. We might be willing to give money without receiving a product in return, but how many of us will give

money or time without receiving recognition for it? A guide for charitable organizations to get Millennials to give wrote “An effective way to attract and retain Millennial donors and volunteers is to attach symbols of prestige and public recognition to their contributions,” according to the University of Indiana’s Center for Philanthropy. This can be seen as well in cases when a certain charitable cause is fashionable. The examples jumping to mind are Kony 2012 and human trafficking. In those cases, supporting the causes (and advertising you’ve done so through stickers, pins and T-shirts) make you part of the in-crowd of the social justice seekers. Even more, I see a larger trend among university students in which social justice itself is a fad, an accessory. We give a few dollars, talk about how much we hate this injustice then congratulate each other on how selfless we are while sipping lattes held in manicured hands. We like our third-world charities when they are convenient to our firstworld lifestyles. We wear causes like T-shirts. We wear it while it’s bright and popular but as soon as the colors fade or the

tag starts to bother us we toss it aside in favor of the next. Don’t misunderstand me, I think we care. Nonetheless, our hearts and motivations are flawed. Are prestige, popularity and rewards the point of charity? Are those the right reasons to donate time, money or talent to organizations that work hard to make the world a better place? I don’t think so. Our generation can change the world. We can dig wells in deserts, educate the next generation and feed impoverished families. We have untold creativity and ability to do those things and more in fresh, effective ways. But I don’t think we can live up to this potential as long as we stay stuck in a mode of capitalist caring. The best way to do that is to be motivated by the cause itself. Find a cause that you can be truly passionate about. Donate directly to them. Volunteer for them. Tell other people about them. And by all means run a 5K—but do it for more than a T-shirt. Clara Spann is a sophomore English and creative writing major and a staff columnist for the Arkansas Traveler.

How to Get a Guy in Three Days

Shawnya Wethington Staff Columnist People can be single for 364 days of the year and never lament a thing. Yet as soon as Feb. 14 hits, people start coupling up faster than you can say “conversation hearts.” Is it worth it? Should you really fight that hard to abandon your single status, just for one night? It can be pretty tempting, having a Valentine comes with some perks. All those overpriced confections line store shelves – the little boxes of chocolates, fuzzy bears with patchworked hearts, the sentimental cards – people don’t buy those things for themselves. People buy them with someone else in mind. Without a special someone, there’s a really good chance you’ll be gift-less on Valentine’s Day unless you spring for something yourself. About 14 percent of women buy themselves flowers, found

surveys by In Retail Advertising and Marketing Association and Valentine’s Day Consumer Intentions and Actions. Of course, you can always try to console yourself with the half off sales that hit on Feb. 15. However, those decadent treats in the heart-ridden wrappers somehow seem just a little less sweet when they’re tossed in a cart alongside shampoo, eggs and the jumbled mix of grocery items. Flip on the T.V. and you’ll find romantic specials playing on almost every station. Your choices are either curling up with your guy or with a box of tissues and a container of chocolate frosting. Option one is probably a bit healthier. Who doesn’t want to feel incredibly special though? After watching a chick flick, you’d be hard-pressed to find a girl who doesn’t want to be told how awesome she is. Hallmark alone has over 1,400 Valentine’s Day greeting card options, the Hallmark website listed. Each one is a reminder someone cares. If you don’t receive one, what’s the implied message? Sad deal. If nothing else, avoid being one of the bitter singles who Red Rover their way through the hand-holding couples strolling through the midst of campus. Sure, you can cringe a bit when you see the overly en-

twined languorously walking along. But please, try to refrain from actively breaking them apart. When you have someone, you can share in the slow shuffle so favored by couples. So, ladies, getting a man may not be a bad idea. However, actually getting one may be a little tricky. Since Valentine’s is on Thursday, the time-crunch adds a new level of difficulty. It may be tough, but you’d better start now if you want to get a guy in three days. The first step is reconciling yourself to the fact that what you’re attempting is about three steps shy of prostitution. You want a man for the material benefits. You’re looking for a guy to buy you things for 24 hours, not a relationship. Now, lower your standards. You aren’t looking for the man of your dreams; rather your search is for a warm body who can deftly handle a slim, plastic card. You may want to consider dressing up a bit for the duration of the week. As comfy as those sweatshirts and ponytails may be, they don’t speak volumes to your level of beauty. If you want to stand out, put in some effort to look hot. Moving on. Step two is getting out there. In order to get a guy, you have to find one first. Ask for some racquetball lessons while you’re hanging around the HPER. Maybe

take a stroll through the Union food court – nothing beats the romantic glow of fluorescent lights reflecting off the pooling grease of your late night. If those options fail, just remember, there ain’t no party hotter than Club Mullins. Once you have your guy spotted, make a move. If you’re struggling, turn to #UofAPickupLines for inspiration. On second thought... Don’t do that. Ladies, after you meet your guy, make sure you stay on his mind. The night is a success if the guy has your number by the time you leave. Bonus points if you can arrange an “accidental, imagine-seeing-you-here meeting” later in the week. Then, just wait. Your stunning beauty and witty conversation will have him making a mad call to the florist Wednesday night. If, despite your best efforts, you still don’t think you’ll manage to catch a guy by Valentine’s day, don’t fret.

Madelynne Jones Contributing Writer If you’re taking a special someone out for dinner this Valentine’s Day, call ahead, beat the crowd and eat like regulars at one of the many Fayetteville favorites. Classics are never overrated, so try out or return to some local top picks: Hugo’s, Hammontree’s or Geraldi’s. Tucked below historic Block Street, Hugo’s serves fresh-cut juicy burgers and seasoned fries on blue-checkered tablecloths. Its brick-walled, underground atmosphere is a Fayetteville hotspot. “Usually on Valentine’s day we try to attract younger and newer people who haven’t been here,” said Server Aaron Barschengar. With burgers under $7, Hugo’s low prices are a quick save for anyone in need of a last-minute date. But Hugo’s “walkins only” policy means showing up for a table around 5 or 6:30 p.m. to beat the dinner rush, Barschengar said. If you’re the cheesy type, check out Hammontree’s Grilled Cheese, a local restaurant dedicated to the legacy of the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Again, at under $7 an entree, it’s a casual classic, friendly to last-minute planners. Nestled in the quaint neighborhood surrounding South University Avenue, Geraldi’s is a great pick for those wanting a cheaper Italian option. “We get most of our business by word of mouth,” said server Joel Siemens. “The lasagna’s our best seller. We’ve also got fantastic other dishes like our chicken alfredo and spaghetti. And you have to get our garlic bread,” Siemens said. “Our New York-style pizzas, calzones and cannoli are also popular.” For the overachieving romantics, Greenhouse Grille is holding a $100-percouple five-course meal this Valentine’s Day, including live jazz music. “The nice part about it is that everything is pre-set for you ... and you know what you’re going to be spending. It’s really actually a pretty good deal,” said server Rose Stanton. Stanton highly suggested couples reserve tables as soon as possible. “It’ll make everything a lot easier and impress your date,” she said. Greenhouse Grille boasts a vegan and vegetarian menu as well as locally sourced food. “It’s quality food that you can feel good about eating,” Stanton said. Adventurous eaters wanting to try stray away from typical Valentine’s day venues could try out some ethnic options: Celi’s True Mexican Cuisine, Hunan Manor Chinese Restaurant or Petra Mediterranean Cafe.

Fifteen years ago, listening to a new album or song involved one of two things: going to a record store or turning on the radio. Today, listening to new music spans dozens of choices, all with their own merits and drawbacks. The number of choices involved can be overwhelming. As it turns out, there is no clear answer as to what listening medium is the best, as it really depends on what you want most out of your music. With all of the choices out there in the music world today, music buyers must make some tough decisions, prioritizing what matters most about their music, be it convenience, cost, artist profits or sound quality.

If you want convenience more than anything else, use a cloud or

Mary Kate Pfiffner Staff Photographer Hugo’s restaurant in the Fayetteville Square will likely be busy Thursday, as Fayetteville locals will dine out for Valentines Day celebrations. Finding a vibrantly colored seat at Celi’s could be difficult if you don’t call ahead, said Waitress Banny Sermandez, and walk-ins are usually a 30-minute wait. “We do get pretty full (on Valentine’s Day),” Sermandez said. “We don’t have any reservations yet, but we usually get them a week or couple days before.” “We’re authentic Mexican, not TexMex,” Sermandez said. Customers can enjoy a festive atmosphere, fresh food, Celi’s exclusive sweet salsa and an a-lacarte menu that’s light on the wallet, like $4 tacos. Specials right now include the 80-ounce Hog Bowl for $15 and daily drink specials. Should you care for a little more spice, Hunan Manor Chinese Restaurant, Taste of Thai or Thai-E-San are all local Asian food options, and it may be easier to get a last-minute table. Hunan Manor is more of a family restaurant, but lots of students frequent its contemporary, slanted structure. It’s rated one of the best Chinese restaurants in town on Urbanspoon, a website and app that ranks local restaurants by user “likes” and “dislikes.” A server said Hunan Manor’s General Tso’s Chicken is their best seller. For those who can’t make a dinner reservation, Petra Cafe on the downtown Square is a lunch-only menu of traditional Mediterranean fare. A cozy little dive, Petra’s atmosphere makes for a fun lunch

date. Pita bread pockets, including classic gyros, are only $5, and daily lunch specials are $8. If you’re looking for a different kind of Valentine’s day noodle, check out Thai-ESan on College Avenue or Taste of Thai on the Square. Couples can expect Valentine’s Day specials on Taste of Thai’s menu but should reserve a table a couple days in advance. “We will be busy on Valentine’s Day,” said Server Kim Sihapanya. It will be about a 30-minute to a one-hour wait for walk-ins, she said. Sihapanya suggested pad thai or pineapple curry for couples at about a medium (three-star) spice level. Both run about $10 to $15, depending on the order size. Another Thai option, Thai-E-San offers a cheaper menu as well as a Valentine’s Day two-for-$20 special. Couples can pick up coupons for the special, which includes two entrees, one appetizer and one dessert. As far as spiciness goes, “it all depends on your level of heat tolerance,” said Server Abby Barahome. “But most people get a medium, which is about three stars or less,” she said. Thai-E-San is a relatively new restaurant, so they’re not expecting too large a crowd on Valentine’s Day, making it walkin friendly. If all else fails, check out Urbanspoon or Yelp for more great eats.

streaming service that allows you to listen on multiple computers as well as your smartphone, like Spotify or Amazon Cloud Player. iTunes is a close second place, but it has some compatibility issues with non-iPhone smartphones like Android phones as well as the inconvenience of manually transferring music among devices.

If you want the most music for the lowest price (and don't mind deal-

ing with ads), use Spotify or YouTube, both of which are free and have large selections. Online radio services are also free and boast large selections. While their popularity is fading due to the inability to directly choose the music you listen to, they remain a great platform for discovering new artists. If you want the most ad-free music for the lowest price, Spotify does have an ad-free service that has other convenient features, including the ability to make playlists, for a $9.99 monthly fee. Be advised, though, that some of your favorite artists may not be on Spotify. If you still want to own the music you buy, Amazon has some of the best deals on albums and singles on the Internet, although their cloud service is free only up to the first 5 GBs; after that, it's a charge of $1 per GB annually.

If you want to give artists the highest percent of your money,

buy directly from the artist either through their website, their label's website or Bandcamp, which gives artists 85 percent of digital sales, according to the Bandcamp website. In general, the fewer middlemen involved in your transaction, the better it is in terms of ensuring your money is going where you want it to go. Spotify has received criticism recently for its payments to artists. For artists not on a major label, one play pays them three tenths of a cent, according to the Atlantic. Using this ratio, 100,000 listens would earn an artist only $300. Those on major labels likely receive more than that, as major labels own a portion of Spotify, according to NPR. Online radio services like Pandora and Last.fm give slightly more, but it's safe to say that artists are making less than a penny per stream on Pandora, according to Rolling Stone. Buying directly from artists and labels ensures that artists receive the biggest cut. That said, no one can control how the labels split their profits with the artists, and most artistlabel agreements are kept tight-lipped. Artist payments may never be entirely fair, but avoiding getting all your music from YouTube and Spotify (or even worse, pirating it) is the best way to help right the situation. Although if you do use a service that gives little money to the artist, there isn't much cause to worry. The adage that artists make much more of their money touring than they do from music sales is certainly true, especially today. Even with CDs, a recording artist only makes about 11 percent of the price of a CD, according to Rolling Stone. Whatever method you choose, the best way to support bands may be to attend their shows and share their music with friends.

If you want the highest possible sound quality, go with vinyl.

Caroline Potts Staff Photographer Kadarrius Green and Keith Aldrige play MLB ‘13 at the Playstation Campus Tour in the Union Mall, Monday, Feb. 11.

Unlike all other mediums, including CDs, music stored on vinyl is not compressed, meaning that the highest and lowest ranges of sound are retained, and you don't hear that tinny sound that you may hear when you listen to music on a computer with earbuds. If vinyl is not an option, CDs still retain higher sound quality than MP3s; while a CD contains about 705,600 bits of information, MP3s contain only 70,000, according to USA Today. And if you're unwaveringly committed to your 70 GB iTunes library, a nice pair of headphones can go a long way in upping sound quality.

The No. 12 Razorback men’s golf team opened the 2013 season in Gainesville, Fla., at the Gator Invitational and finished sixth in the 14 team tournament. The Hogs started the first round tied for fourth after a score of 287 and fell a little after a second round score of 288. Arkansas shot their best round of the tournament Sunday, when the final of three rounds was held. The Hogs posted a 285, good for 5-over par. Over the course of the Invitational, the Razorbacks shot an 869, which was 20-over par for the tournament. The meet was dominated by the No. 23 Florida State Seminoles, who were the only team to finish 8-under par. North Florida and South Alabama were second and third with respective scores of seven- and 10-over par. The third-ranked Florida Gators finished fourth and were 11 strokes over par. The Gators led the event after the first round, but dropped to fourth after rounds of 288 and 281. Finishing fifth and just one stroke ahead of the Hogs was

Liz Beadle Staff Writer The Razorback women’s basketball team won just their fourth Southeastern Conference game of the season in a triple overtime game on the road at Alabama Sun-

day. This moves the Razorbacks to 16-8 overall and 4-7 in the SEC, while the Crimson Tide fall to 12-12 and 2-9 in the SEC. “I’m worn out,” head coach Tom Collen said. “It was about who had the will and could find a way to win.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud of a team. We have been so close so many times and I think we deserved this. Alabama did a great job but I’m just so happy for our team.” Dominique Wilson had a standout day for the Razorbacks, accounting for 19

points including going 8-for8 from the free throw line. Two of her free throws in the bonus were crucial in forcing the first overtime period. Wilson was also responsible for a big 3-pointer during the second overtime to keep the game alive. Senior Sarah Watkins

Anderson Calling for Consistency from Hogs Cameron McCauley Staff Writer

The first full week in February could not have been more of a roller coaster ride for Arkansas basketball. A monumental high in beating No. 2 Florida was short lived after another tough road loss at Vanderbilt. Mike Anderson and the Hogs can only focus on the future, which happens to be another road game at Auburn Wednesday. The two teams met once so far this year Jan. 16 in a double-overtime thriller, the Hogs eventually prevailing 88-80. That game was a turning point in the Tigers’ season, as they went on to lose six of their next seven and now sit at 9-14 (3-7) in the SEC. Arkansas’ loss at Vander-

bilt was as puzzling a loss the team has had all season. The Hogs saw a season low in points with 49, a season low in field goal percentage at 30 percent and Marshawn Powell being a non-factor because of foul trouble. All against a Vanderbilt team they beat by 23 points in Bud Walton Arena nearly a month ago. Another loss is now in the past, and Mike Anderson made it clear what he wants to see from his team Wednesday. “More than anything else, you’ve got to be consistent for 40 minutes,” Anderson said. Defense and taking care of the basketball have been focal points in road game preparation, two things the Hogs have done well in Bud Walton Arena but somehow aren’t capable of on the road. For the Hogs to get their first road win, Powell needs

COMMENTARY

to play a substantial role in Arkansas’ game plan. Powell only played 17 minutes against Vanderbilt after early foul trouble, and finished with five points on only four field goal attempts. Powell had his second best scoring night of the season against Auburn in January, finishing with 28 points and 11 rebounds. As the Razorbacks’ most dependable scoring threat, Powell needs to play well and show leadership at Auburn to improve the team’s confidence. As the Hogs fought back against Vanderbilt in the second half, Powell reached in on a drive to the basket to pick up his fourth foul, sending him back to the bench and taking the wind out of Arkansas’ sails for the rest of the game.

A Potentially Potent Diamond Hog Baseball Season

Zack Wheeler Staff Writer Despite the fact Winter Storm Nemo wreaked havoc over the weekend in the North, this week marks the beginning of baseball season for many college teams across the nation.

The University of Arkansas Razorback baseball team is no exception, as the No. 1 team in many preseason polls opens its season with a weekend series against Western Illinois. Arkansas has a very potent pitching staff, along with depth at the fielding positions that head coach Dave Van Horn can rotate around depending on who is performing the best. I pulled some statistics from last year’s team, which featured a lot of talent that is on this year’s roster. The 2012 baseball pitching staff recorded a team ERA of 2.83 with an overall record of 46-22. Another big statistic

I highlighted was that they only allowed 24 home runs throughout the entire season. The Razorback hitters also had some important notes. They finished with a .271 batting average, 39 home runs and finished 68-102 on stolen base attempts last season. The 2012 teams didn’t have the most firepower on offense, but they did the little things that ultimately enabled them to make a deep run into the College World Series before falling to runner-up South Carolina. I feel with what looks to be more offensive firepower this season, along with one of the best pitching staffs in the nation, anything short of the

College World Series would be a disappointment for the 2013 team. One of the biggest losses from last year’s team is pitcher D.J. Baxendale. Baxendale finished last season with a record of 8-5 along with an ERA of 3.11. Despite that being said, pitchers Ryne Stanek and Brandon Moore return with a combined 2012 record of 13-6. The success of these two starters, along with Brandon Moore, could be a huge factor as to where the Hogs will go this year. I would also like to continue to see the Hogs be aggressive on the basepaths. Even with good offensive batting averages and home run

totals, base running mistakes can erase a lot of good work at the plate. The Razorbacks need to continue their ways of smart, cerebral baserunning which Van Horn has seemed to continually do each year. Steals, hit and runs and good decisions on when to advance can decide the outcome of a game a lot of times. If the Hogs stay on top of this category, there is no limit on how good they can become. I don’t like to put a whole lot of stock into a preseason No. 1 ranking, but this team has a chance to live up to the hype. As I have stated, it all hinges upon good pitching and smart baserunning. As

long as timely, consistent hitting supplements these two aspects, wins will continue to pile up for this group. So take some time this spring to sit in the outfield grass at Baum Stadium to cheer on the Hogs as they make their push to what they hope can be a great year. No. 1 rankings sometimes can spell danger for a team, but under the leadership of coach Van Horn, I sense this team is focused to make it a special year.

nior Quistelle Williams was also a major player, posting her fifth doubledouble this season with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Alabama had momentum and control on their home court for much of the first half, after which The Tide led 31-28. The Hogs fought back in the second half and were leading 58-55 with three seconds left in regulation. Alabama’s Shafontaye Myers hit a fall away three-point basket as time expired to send the game to overtime. The first overtime period ended almost identically to regulation. Arkansas was up 68-65 with 18 seconds remaining, then Myers once again hit a three to force the second overtime with the score tied 68-68. Alabama carried that excitement and momentum into the second over-

time, where they built up a seven point lead. The Razorbacks responded with a three by Williams and a few defensive stops. Bowen was fouled and made both her free throws to bring the Hogs within two as 39 seconds remained on the clock in the second overtime. A quick foul by the Razorbacks gave the Tide a three-point lead and the Hogs had the ball with 14 seconds to score. Wilson drained a three to tie the game at 76 and force the third and final overtime period. The momentum was clearly in favor of the Razorbacks as they ran off a 10-2 run to start the third overtime. The Tide never recovered and the game ended with a score of 9180 in favor of the Hogs. Next up for Arkansas is a matchup against Missouri Sunday at 2 p.m. at Bud Walton Arena.

“He’s got to be smart enough to know when and when not (to foul) especially with the kind of fouls he’s getting,” Anderson said. BJ Young also needs to show more consistency, after going scoreless in the second half against Vanderbilt. He has good competition at Auburn with Frankie Sullivan and Chris Denson, two upperclassmen guards leading the Tigers’ scoring threat. Auburn’s second leading scorer Denson missed the first matchup against the Hogs this season with a stress fracture, but has proved he’s a threat with a 15 point performance against Kentucky Feb. 9. “He gets to the free throw line, and he’s very

aggressive,” Anderson said. “He gives them more depth.” The only road win for the Razorbacks last season was at Auburn Feb. 25, 2012, as Arkansas ventured into Auburn Arena and came away with a 77-71 victory. Anderson made it clear that the two teams facing off this year aren’t the same as in the past, but hopes that last year’s win gives the guys a confidence advantage. “Maybe those guys can reach back on those memories,” Anderson said. According to Anderson, consistency on both ends of the court can put the Hogs over the hump and get their first road victory at Auburn.

GOLF continued from page 7 the UCF Knights, who rallied in the final round shooting a 279 to jump from 10th to fifth. The only other school in the Southeastern Conference at the invitational was Mississippi State. The Bulldogs, ranked 41st nationally, struggled out of the gates shooting a 296 in the first round and finished seven strokes behind the Hogs. Individually, Junior Sebastian Cappelen was the top finisher for the Razorbacks and tied for 12th in the tournament. Cappelen was one of only seven golfers in the tournament to be under 72 strokes in all three rounds, as he shot a 71 in the first and final rounds and a 70 in the second round. The lowest round for the Hogs came from Taylor Moore. The freshman finished the tournament with a final round of 69 to finish 25th overall. The individual winner of the Invitational was Daniel Berger from Florida State with a score of 203. His final round of 65 jumped him from two strokes behind Scott Wolfes from Georgia Southern to a threestroke victory. Other top finishers for the Razorbacks were Joe Doramus and Thomas Sorensen, who both finished in the top 50 with scores of 218 and 219, respectively. Austin Cook rounded out the scoring for Arkansas, shooting 221 with a final round of 73. The Razorbacks will not have a meet until Feb. 24, when they travel to Ponte Verda Beach, Fla. Arkansas will participate in the three-day John Hayt Invitational, where the Hogs scored a surprise victory over teams like LSU, Florida and Auburn in 2011.
