he end has come. For some, graduation on May 11 is the end of a hard-fought college journey. For others, it’s simply the end of another semester. Whether you’ll be entertaining visiting family members or just looking to unwind before, between or after finals, Fayetteville has entertainment options for all. Whether it’s a tiny dinner out or a bluegrass concert, there is no shortage of ways to celebrate.
Entertaining Family If the entire family is converging on Fayetteville, at some point, you’ll be responsible for coming up with activities to keep everybody entertained. Show off the best of Fayetteville. If you’re looking to drop a little cash for dinner, Fayetteville has several gourmet options. Bordino’s, on Dickson Street, has long been Fayetteville’s go-to swanky dining spot. The restaurant offers innovative Italian cooking, with an extensive wine list and cocktail menu. Theo’s, off Dickson Street behind Bordino’s, has modern American food and an
expansive selection of drinks. Off of Dickson, BHK on the square and Ella’s in Carnall Hall are other celebratory dining establishments. If you’re looking for something less extravagant, Doe’s Eat Place on Dickson does steaks and tamales like no other restaurant. For cheaper fare, take your family to one of Fayetteville’s college institutions, like Hugo’s on Block Street. Geraldi’s on University is another cheaper restaurant that doesn’t sacrifice on quality. You can also keep family members busy by pointing them in the direction of Fayetteville’s local shops. If people are up early on Saturday morning before commencement ceremonies begin, they can check out the Fayetteville Farmer’s Market, which opens at 7:00 a.m. The Yacht Club On College, located at College and Davidson, is a collection of small boutique stores
and restaurants in trailers. Stores like Grey Dog and The Flannel Shack represent the best of Fayetteville’s quirky independent businesses. Riff Raff and The Moustache on the square are also popular local stores. For a family outing, visit Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville. First-time visitors to The Natural State are usually blown away at the quality of both the art and the museum building . The Bentonville square has several quality restaurants too. The museum is currently running a Norman Rockwell exhibit, “American Chronicles,” which includes all of Rockwell’s “Saturday Evening Post” covers. May 11, “American Encounters” opens, which explores scenes of everyday life in American painting.
Other Events Dickson Street is the place to be all day on Saturday. Back from a one-year hiatus, Springfest returns. The pancake breakfast at Jose’s starts at 7:00 a.m., vendor booths open at 9:00 a.m., and the annual bed races are scheduled for 11:00 a.m. For a $10 entrance fee, there is a Springfest pubcrawl. It kicks off at 6:00 p.m. at Jose’s, and if completed, comes with a free t-shirt. Music for the event includes Shawn James, 1 Oz. Jig, and Groovement. Joining Springfest on Dickson Street this Saturday is the Fayetteville Foam Fest. A $30 ticket provides samples of hundreds of craft brews and specialty beers in the Walton Arts Center parking lot. Local brewers like Saddlebock and Fossil Cove
Vol. 107, No. 121
Brewing will be pitted against each other in a beer competition. Nomad’s Natural Plate, Greenhouse Grille, and Mellow Mushroom will be providing food to soak up all the beer. A $10 designated driver ticket gets you in the festival, but no beer. All proceeds for the event go towards Feed Fayetteville, which works to alleviate hunger in Washington County. The taps start flowing at 5:00 p.m. The University Programs spring headliner concert, country singer Kip Moore, is Thursday night at Barnhill Arena. Moore’s hit, 2012 “Somethin’ Bout A Truck,” has received significant radio play on country stations. Moore has only released one album, “Up All Night,” but he has attracted the attention of big names in Nashville. Opening for Moore are artists Drake White and Jana Kramer. The show starts at 8:00 p.m., and tickets for the general public are still available. For a more authentic country experience, iconic bluegrass band Old Crow Medicine Show is playing at the Arkansas Music Pavilion on Saturday night. Old Crow is best known for the ubiquitous “Wagon Wheel,” on 2004’s “O.C.M.S.” Their catalog provides so much more than the beloved sing-along song. Their 2012 release “Carry Me Back” is full of old-time, foot-stomping songs like “Bootlegger’s Boy” and “Carry Me Back,” which recount life in prohibition America and the Civil War, respectively. The band turns a corner with “Levi,” about a smalltown soldier fighting in Afghanistan. The band’s lyrics can tell surprisingly deep stories of drug addiction or change in rural American life. Tickets and information can be found at waltonartscenter.org.
Graduation: Knowing the Basics Staff Report
Students and parents who are attending the various commencements need to know a few tips. Students who attend the AllUniversity Commencement will be recognized as a group and students who attend the separate college ceremonies will be recognized individually, said Ruth Hirsch, assistant to the registrar. Graduate student will be rec-
ognized individually during the All-University Commencement, according to the Registrar’s website. Parents should arrive at least 30 minutes early to find a spot, but 45 minutes is ideal, Hirsch said. Students can find specific information for their college commencement on the registrar’s website. They can find it by clicking the Graduation Preparation link on uark.edu. For the commencements that take place in the arenas, the same
things will be allowed inside as the athletic events, Hirsch said. Wrapped gifts will not be allowed for security reasons. Umbrellas will only be allowed if they are small enough to fit inside a purse and strollers will not be allowed, she said. All bags will be checked for security reason and students should not bring bags because there is no place to store them, she said. The J. William Fulbright, College of Education and Health Pro-
fessions and the All-University Commencements will be available via live webcast. The webcasts can be found under the specific information for each college on the Registrar’s graduation preparation webpage. Students who need to pick their regalia can do so at the UA bookstore Wednesday, May 8- Saturday, May 11. Wednesday through Friday pick up will be from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and on Saturday pick up will be from 7 a.m.-12 p.m.

Local Beer Festival to Take Place Saturday
Alex March Staff Writer
Beer in college typically means rivers of cheap, watery light beer. Brands like Bud Light and Natural Ice are consumed in mass quantities and celebrated as college beers. Beyond the 24-pack, there exists an entire industry of craft beer brewers in America. Some craft brewers are well known, such as Colorado’s New Belgium or Kansas City’s Boulevard. Others, including small Fayetteville operations, may not have name recognition, but still produce stellar beers. The second annual Fayetteville Foam Fest brings hundreds of those local and regional beers from the US and around the world together for sampling. Foam Fest will be Saturday, May 4 at 5 p.m. in the Walton Arts Center parking lot on Dickson Street. Tickets are $30 for general admission, and come with a 5-ounce sampling mug to take and refill at brewery booths. Proceeds from the event will benefit Feed Fayetteville, which works to eliminate hunger and food insecurity in Washington County. While Fayetteville seems prosperous, 37 percent of children and 18 percent of elderly people live in the county live in food-insecure households. By drinking beer on Saturday, you can help put healthy food on plates for people in need. Craft beers are a relatively new phenomenon. Until recently, American beer was the butt of jokes in Europe because it was synonymous with brands like Budweiser and Miller High Life, according to a recent BBC report by Jon Kelly. In 1980, there were roughly 50 breweries in the entire country. Today there are over 2,000, according to Kelly. The craft brew revolution started, unsurprisingly, in places like San Francisco and Denver in the 1970s and 1980s. Now, every major population center has a small brewery. In Tulsa, beer aficionados sip on IPAs and stouts by Marshall Brewing Company. San Francisco has Anchor Steam, New Orleans has Abita and Chicago has Goose Island. Many of these regional beers are available in Fayetteville, either at liquor stores or specialty bars. The dramatic increase in craft beer popularity has led to the establishment of several area breweries in the past two years. Saddlebock, out of Springdale, sells several types of beers to local liquor stores in halfgallon jugs. Tour and tasting information can be found at saddleback.com. Popular beers include the Dirty Blonde Ale, the Dunkelweiz, and the Hefeweizen. Soon, Saddlebock will introduce the Arkansas Farmhouse Ale and the Saddlebock Sweet Stout. All their beers are rich and heavy because of the traditional German and British
brewing methods. Don’t expect to be pounding glass after glass of the Dunkelweiz. Saddlebock beers should be enjoyed slowly. Fossil Cove Brewing on Birch Street is like a college student’s equivalent of dinosaur chicken nuggets. It’s beer, but with an awesome dinosaur theme. Brews include a Belgianstyle T-Rex Tippel, La Brea Brown Ale and Paleo Ale. Core Beer Company of Springdale first started brewing in 2012 with its distinctive Dachshund symbol. Core has a Kölsch beer, Black IPA, Premium Pale Ale, and Extra Special Bitter. Core offers brewery tours and tastings, with more information available on its Facebook Page Foam Fest will highlight local brewers with a competition, but many other brewers will set up booths. Regional brewers in attendance include Schlafly and Cathedral Square out of St. Louis and Colorado’s Breckenridge and Avery breweries. Wellknown craft beers from the likes Shiner of Texas and Boston’s Samuel Adams will be on tap as well. Household names like Anheuser-Busch and Guinness will have old stand-by brands. Foam Fest participants can sample several international beers. Several Spanish beers like Barcelona’s Estrella Damm and Alhambra will be available. Belgium will be punching above its weight, with beers by Bière De Belœil and several by Brassiere Dupont. Mexico, Italy, and Austria will also be represented. Of course, English and Irish beers will be plentiful, like Ireland’s Harp and the UK’s Old Speckled Hen. To soak up all the alcohol, the festival has local food vendors. Nomad’s Natural Plate, Greenhouse Grille, and Mellow Mushroom will be serving hungry beer-lovers. The event will take place right after Springfest, so there is no reason to even leave Dickson on Saturday. Everybody loves beer. Everybody wants to help end hunger. Fayetteville Foam Fest is that special opportunity to drink for a good cause.

Bitter Sweet Ending STUDENTS HAPPY TO BE GRADUATING, BUT SAD TO LEAVE Jaime Dunaway Senior Staff Writer Graduation is approaching, and seniors are using their last few days to reflect on their time at the UA while also looking toward the future. “I’m excited to finally get done with school and move on to the next stage of my life,” said Cody Dillen, a computer science major. After graduation, Dillen said he has a job lined up with Lindsey Management Co. in Fayetteville. Lindsey Management is a property management company that offers properties in eight states, according to their website Dillen said his job will entail making sure the computers are working, managing the company’s
databases and working on their website. However, Dillen said he will miss all the people he has met at the UA. “Everyone is leaving the area, and I’m still here,” he said, “but it will be a good experience and an opportunity to meet new people.” Liliana Cai Dai, an English language and literature education major, is an international student from Bolivia who will be moving to China after graduation. She said it will be her first long-term living experience in the country. “It’s going to be interesting,” she said. “I have a hard time adapting, so I might experience some culture clash in China.” Cai Dai said her grandparents live in China, and she wants to use next year to spend time with them while also gain-
ing new experiences. She said she plans to teach English for a year and then return to the UA to get her Master of Arts in Teaching. “I just want to get school over with,” she said. “I am excited and nervous because I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m excited nonetheless.” In addition to missing all of her friends, Cai Dai said she is also going to miss American food. “I’m going to miss a lot of friends and the fast food,” she said. “The ice cream is very fattening, but I’ll still miss that. I’m also going to miss Walmart a lot because they have everything there.” Brittany Mitchell, a psychology major, said she is staying in Fayetteville to work after graduation. She said she one day
hopes to go to dental school. “I am excited to graduate because I have accomplished everything I wanted to do while here, and it is time to move on to better things,” she said. “I’m feeling kinda nervous because now I actually feel like I’m entering into the real world. It’s scary.” She said some of her favorite college memories include going to Razorback football games, especially the Sugar Bowl in 2011. She said she will also miss the organizations she was involved in ,as well as her meal plan. “I have met some really awesome people and made some great connections,” Mitchell said. “Living on campus all four years has definitely been an experience. I will miss all the fun and crazy times. College life is so fun.”

Two UA alumni will be receiving honorary degrees and speaking during the spring 2013 graduation ceremony. Ricardo Martinelli, president of Panama, and Lee Bodenhamer, Arkansas businessman and philanthropist, will receive honorary degrees for “their achievements in politics and business and for their strong support for education,” according to a press release. Martinelli, who will receive a Doctor of Humane Letters degree, credits the skills he learned at the UA as the “best preparation he received to become a business leader and the leader of his country,” according to the release. Martinelli graduated from the UA in 1973 and won the presidential election in 2009 to become president of Pan-
ama. Bodenhamer was born in El Dorado, Ark., and graduated from the UA in 1957. Later, in 1986, he created the Bodenhamer Foundation, which provides financial support for organizations including the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, the Washington Regional Foundation, the Baptist Health Foundation and the St. Vincent Medical Center Foundation, according to a press release. Martinelli and Bodenhamer will receive their degrees during the AllUniversity Commencement ceremony at 8:45 a.m. Saturday, May 11, and they will also both address the graduating class of 2013. “I’m very pleased that we are able to recognize two such distinguished University of Arkansas alumni in this way,” said Chancellor G. David Gearhart in a press release.

A Final Letter From the Editor
Chad Woodard
Editor-in-Chief Toward the end of my third year of college at the UA I was faced with a choice. I was a double major at the time majoring in political science and journalism and in order to graduate on time I would have to drop one of those majors. I enjoyed journalism, but law school has always been my goal, so I thought I might as well pursue political science and take some classes that might prepare me for law school. It was a Friday and I was going to drop my journalism major that day. I was in an introductory journalism course at the time and as I was leaving to go to see an adviser my graduate teacher Jose Lopez stopped me. “Hey, you need to write for the Traveler,” he said. At the time the Traveler seemed like a distant, intense world that I would never have time to commit to, but considering he was a former Editor-in-Chief I was flattered he thought I had the talent to work with the best students in the department. “No, I really haven’t,” I said. He then told me to follow him and we walked over to the Traveler office, better known by those who have given their souls to this windowless place in the underground of Kimpel Hall as “The Dungeon.” I filled out an application to work for the paper and soon after I was hired as the assistant news editor. Since that time I have met some of the best people I have ever known and I owe these people my gratitude. To Professor Jordan whose wisdom has meant more to me than I can put into words, and don’t let his humble nature fool you, you won’t meet a better person. To Saba Naseem who took a chance on me last year and without you I would not be where I am. To Mattie Quinn who truly makes life worth living. To Professor Schulte who truly taught me that no matter how well you do, you can always do better. To Professor Ledbetter and Dr. Watkins who exemplified grace in a very stressful newsroom. To all of the other journalism professors I had who helped guide me through my time in this place. To Brittany Nims who always challenged me to be a bet-
ter editor and who will go on to be a great editor. To Emily Rhodes who kept me sane. To Sarah Derouen for never giving up. To Kayli Farris for stepping up when we needed another leader in news. To Joe DelNero for always being that burst of fruit flavor we needed during dark times. To Nick Brothers for your beard. To Shelby Gill for always being honest. To Kristen Coppola for your refusal to accept anything less than the very best. To Haley Markle for always knowing exactly what to say. To Marcus Ferreira who helped me remember the importance of the 1st amendment. To Sarah Colpitts who has worked herself to death the last two years making my meticulous ideas a reality. To Carson Smith who always managed to handle the most stressful situations with understanding. To Mark Cameron for being a pioneer. To Emily Delong for being so adaptable. To Jon Schleuss for being that subtle seasoning that made everything complete. To Whitney Green who managed to be an important part of the Traveler without ever being on staff. To the writers, photographers, copy editors, cartoonists and everyone else who worked at the Traveler. To my friends who worked on the paper last year Brady Tackett, Lauren Leatherby, Jordain Carney for giving me great memories and the confidence to be a leader. And, of course, to Jose Lopez who gave me the idea to apply for the Traveler. Finally, to next year’s staff, I wish the very best for all of you. Unfortunately, I do not know all of you as well as I would like at this point, but I can say that if you can harness Mike Mahardy’s wit with Madelynne Jones’ energy then you will all do wonders next year. Even as I am writing this more names and faces come to my mind from the last two years. In my time working here more I would say more than 300 people have come and gone at this place. It’s impossible to thank everyone. But know that if you have worked at the Traveler then you’re part of the family. Just remember, sometimes some great moments in your life and some of the best people you will meet come from an opportunity, like mine, that you weren’t expecting. So, don’t ever be afraid to seize an opportunity even if you weren’t expecting it, because it could be one of the best decisions you ever make.

Growing Up, Moving On
Brittany Nims
Managing Editor Our ride is coming to an end, my friends, and what a wild one it has been. I’m not usually one for grandiose, sentimental moments, but I suppose there’s room for an exception. Growing up I thought my college years would be full of wild nights, crazy friends, eccentric professors and homework on homework on homework, which they were. But reminiscing, my fondest memories are the colorful trees on Old Main lawn, that one professor who taught me to dream big and think outside the box, $4 martini night at The Wine Cellar, that one assignment I got a B on (I knew it deserved an A), that impromptu road trip, Traveler staff potlucks, all of Joe’s Lord of the Rings bobbleheads, that time I stumbled across Chad’s high school band’s Myspace page, bottomless cups of coffee at Arsaga’s at the Depot, when I moved

The Arkansas Traveler welcomes letters to the editor from all interested readers. Letters should be at most 300 words and should include your name, student classification and major or title with the university and a day-time telephone number for verification. Letters should be sent to traveler@uark.edu.
after graduation, I probably wouldn’t have had an answer beyond, “Hopefully I’ll be working!” Sad, but true. If you ask me now what I’m doing after I graduate, I have a firm answer. I know what I want to do. I know what I need to do to achieve it. I know where I want to go. And I know how to get there. Despite the long hours, strict time commitment and high stress, my time at The Traveler has played an important role in helping navigate me in my future plans. Take advantage of the time you have left here at the UA. I know people say it all the time, but there’s really no better way to get to know people, to make professional connections, to learn valuable communication skills and to learn what you want to do with your life than by surrounding yourself with people who have your interests. I got involved with The Traveler in the spring semester of my sophomore year. Since then, I worked as a news writer, the assistant news editor, eventually became the managing editor of the publication and worked a news reporting internship. Now I’ve been accepted to one of the most prestigious schools in the U.S. for journalism. I’m truly blessed, and I owe almost all of it to the connections I’ve made, the professors who’ve mentored me and all those late nights
I spent in the basement of Kimpel in The Traveler office. Like I said, I’m blessed beyond words. All of this is to say, don’t be afraid to move onto bigger things. Don’t be afraid to do something different than everyone else. One small leap of faith could lead to something extraordinary. Go against the grain. Don’t be reflection of what everyone expects of you. You never know what you can achieve until you take that leap of faith and try. There will always be a million reasons why you shouldn’t do something, and you’re the only person who can truly decide where you’re life will end up. Don’t sit idly by while you’re life passes by, hoping eventually you’ll accomplish the things you hoped you would. Be active in your dreams. Growing up and moving on are not one in the same. Everyone grows up, but only those truly courageous take that leap of faith and move on to achieve their dreams. Wherever you go, the UA will always be your Alma Mater. Dive in head first and see where the currents take you. More than likely, you’ll end up somewhere beautifully unexpected achieving dreams you never knew you had.

into my first apartment, when I saw my first story published, the first day of my internship and the day I found out I was accepted in the Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism graduate program. The memories go on and on, but most of them involve The Traveler, the valuable friendships I’ve made here, or accomplishments I’ve made as a young journalist. I cherish the friendships and connections I’ve made here during my four years, but I’m excited to close this chapter of my life and start the next. I’ll be moving to Chicago in September for graduate school, and while I’m nervous about moving hours away from my friends, family, and essentially displacing myself from everything I’ve ever known, I’m excited to be doing what I know I’m supposed to be doing. Dream big. There’s nothing more rewarding than accomplishing something you never dreamed you could. I’m from a small Arkansas town of less than 2,500 people. My high school graduating class was 102. Of that class, fewer than half went on to college or technical school, and even fewer will ever graduate. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t let anything stand in my way. If there’s something I want to achieve, I’m determined to achieve it. If you’d asked me four years ago what I thought I would go on to do
Bilbo Baggins races out his front door shouting “I’m going on an adventure.” For the past four years, I have been going on a wild adventure here at the University of Arkansas — many of which parallel my favorite Mr. Baggins. It starts with joining an unusual company of dwarves. Freshman year, four hours from home, I felt far from the comforts I was so used to. But I abandoned my handkerchief and mingled with the wonderful people around me. Maybe I wasn’t fighting giants on campus with my company, but I fought on the field with, and against, stellar ultimate frisbee players while on the University of Arkansas club ultimate frisbee team. In-
stead of getting roasted over a fire, our company of smelly athletes enjoyed my mother’s incredible baking while on the road, we sampled hefty amounts of Kansas City barbecue, some Memphis and Texas beef, as well as Louisiana cajun meals on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. I may not have been trapped in a goblin cave, but I have perhaps trespassed into a cave or two around the Devil’s Den area with my roommate and best friend, Spencer Hansen. Then there have been a few times we were caught driving on highways as dark as a cave — the more memorable had me sitting in a car for nearly 20 hours while Spencer drove a small company of guys the entire way to Destin, leaving Fayetteville at 2 a.m.. Maybe I wasn’t getting stuck in spider webs deep in the heart of Mirkwood forest, but all too often I have found myself tangled in wires in the dark basement of Kimpel Hall — working at UATV and the Traveler in the wee hours of the night. The select students down there with me understand the discomfort of the windowless maze of edit bays, but at the same time, my experiences
in student media brought me closer to top-notch, international travelers like Saba Naseem, future lawyers like Chad Woodard, strange old men like Zeek Martin and all my fellow broadcast journalism majors whom we will soon be seeing on KNWA, 40/29 and other local news networks, if not larger-market stations. In terms of my mentors on this incredible adventure, I, of course, have my Thorin Oakenshield, a true leader and dear friend Professor Larry Foley. He has kept me on the right track throughout this long journey. I have also had the incredible honor to work alongside Professor Robyn Ledbetter, Hayot Tuychiev and Professor Dale Carpenter, who are willing to challenge me socially and intellectually, in and out of the classroom. With their support and dedication to the university and my program, I am graduating with an armory of intellectual tools as sharp as Sting. I’ve been in classes like research methods, honors philosophy and essay writing, where I simply felt I was in middle of a Thunder battle — I was simply trying keep my balance on the ledge. However,
without these classes, I would not emerge the same wellrounded graduate. We are not the same young students we used to be. Four years ago, we were running out our front doors, embracing the adventures Arkansas offered. After years of struggles and countless joys, we’ve become best friends with the companies around us. Through trials and tribulations, we have found the heart of the Ozark Mountains. Moving forward, I wish all graduating seniors only the very best of luck. I pray you will each continue to have incredible adventures and will embrace each challenge like Bilbo Baggins racing down his Shire stairs into the unknown. I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, but please understand I love all of you as much as you deserve. The graduating class of 2013 has never let me down.
