t’s an all-you-can eat buffet of music this weekend in Fayetteville. While no big headliners are scheduled, the wide sampling of genres offers plenty of choices from country to reggae. Outside of live music, you can choose from the great outdoors, a comedian and Razorback basketball.
Alex March Staff Writer
Music and Comedy Reggae, country, dubstep and a grunge band are all making their way to Fayetteville. The assortment is more varied than usual, so it may be a good weekend to go see a show outside of your comfort zone. For all you “Guitar Hero” fans out there, Toadies, the band behind “Possum Kingdom,” will bring the grunge to George’s Majestic Lounge Thursday night. 1994’s “Possum Kingdom” is a staple of any ’90s alternative rock playlist, with a familiar guitar part that was recently featured in Girl Talk’s “This Is the Remix.” You may consider bringing a “Guitar Hero” controller and playing along. The band’s recent releases are far from their grunge roots, however. How much you enjoy the show may depend on how many old songs they play. Helmet will be opening, and tickets are a bit pricey at $20. It may be a bit too much if you’re going to hear one song. Friday night, George’s hosts country rockers Cody Canada and the Departed. The band released “This Is Indian Land” in 2011, but Canada may be better known for his work fronting alt-country band Cross Canadian Ragweed. Canada brings an Oklahoma/ Texas feel to his music that resonates well here in Arkansas.
It won’t be a cowboy-boots-only affair, though. The music has a broader appeal than most country acts that come through Fayetteville. Friday night will be more Robert Earl Keen than Jason Aldean. “Skyline Radio” is more mature and a little less redneck than “Boys From Oklahoma” by Cross Canadian Ragweed. The energy is still there with The Departed with songs like “Ballad of Rosalie” or “Home Sweet Oklahoma.” With tickets at only $10, it will be the best bang for your music buck this weekend. Saturday night, The Wailers will be at the Walton Arts Center. The Wailers became famous as the backup band for Bob Marley, and the island music will be flowing on Dickson Street. While there probably won’t be many authentic Rastafarians in attendance, it could still be a unique cultural event. Tickets start at $16 for balcony seats, and more information can be found at waltonartscenter.org. Dreadlocks are optional. If country and reggae are not your first choices for music, electronic band Archnemesis will be playing Saturday night at George’s. The dubstep/trance scene has always attracted a lot of people in Fayetteville, and Archnemesis will be no exception. They sound remarkably similar to Pretty Lights, which draws big crowds in this town. The electronic shows are so popular because, if nothing else, they are fun. Tickets are a bargain at $10 in person at George’s. For comedy fans, UARK Bowl has

comedian Robert Kelly Thursday and Friday night. Tickets are $10 for the Thursday set and $12 for either Friday set. Kelly isn’t exactly a dry comedian. His 2012 album “Live” is sort of offensive and full of largely scatological humor. If you find that sort of thing funny, that’s great. If you don’t, this isn’t the show for you. More information can be found at uarkbowl.com.
Sports and Outdoors It’s hiking season here in the Ozarks. The leaves are falling, and the bugs are dead. Weather permitting, it is the perfect weekend to get out to Devil’s Den State Park south of Fayetteville or Hobbs State Park east of Rogers. Each offers hiking trails, mountain biking trails and lots of natural beauty to admire. Yellow Rock Trail at Devil’s Den is a popular day hike for students. It isn’t particularly strenuous, and the reward at the end is a spectacular view on top of a bluff. Pigeon Roost Trail at Hobbs State Park is another perfect day-hike destination. The trail has a 4-mile loop and an 8-mile loop, and leads down to an awesome little inlet of Beaver Lake. More information, including directions to the trailheads, can be found at arkansasstateparks.com. The chill in the air also means it is basketball time. With the football team hours and hours away, the best way to support the Hogs this weekend is by attending Friday night’s game against Sam Houston State. After dazzling performances in the two exhibition games (complete with some awesome dunks), enthusiasm is running high for Hog hoops. Even without a suspended BJ Young, this team plays the fast-paced basketball that is fun to watch. The crowd should be significant, and it should get loud.

Graduate Research Contest
Hunter Hawk Staff Writer
A research presentation competition for graduate students, From Abstract to Contract, is preparing for their sixth annual competition. The competition, which is open to all graduate students, will be take place Friday, Feb. 8 in Mullins library as part of Graduate Education Week. Students must register online by Dec. 3 with a description of their research or creative expression project, said Dawn Farver, representative to the Career Services Center and Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering. There can be up to eight students in each group representing a similar area of research, and there will be a first and second place winner. Each presenter that shows up and displays their research will have their work judged by one faculty member and one experienced graduate student. Based on the judges’ comments and reviews, the first place winner in each group will receive $200 and the second place winner in each group will receive $100, according to a press release. The point of the project is for students to gain experience and spread the word about the research going on at the UA, Farver said. “The success of From Abstract to Contract is really a group effort involving many different groups on campus,” Farver said. “Many faculty members, staff and students volunteer their time to help with advertising, competition logistics, judging posters and organizing and presenting workshops that complement the goals of the competition.” There will be more than 100 presentations in this year’s research contest, said Diane Cook, graduate school project and program specialist. Projects will be judged on the organization, layout and appearance of students poster as well as their presentation of the information and ability to answer questions about their research, Cook said.

Hotz Hall Renovations Create Unique New Dorm Bailey Deloney Staff Writer
THIS
Walton Arts Center is located at 495 W. Dickson St., Fayetteville
Construction at Hotz Hall continues to progress and renovations are on schedule. It is expected to open to students Aug. 1, 2013. Certain additions are being made to Hotz Hall that students said other dorms lack. Part of what is lacking in the other dormitory towers right now is community space, said Jeffery Vinger, facilities manager. Some of the renovations at Hotz Hall will include the addition of community and study areas, Vinger said. “I never studied in the study rooms at Yocum because they were so small and overcrowded,� said Kara Kaiser, sophomore communication disorders and child development major. Another change that will set Hotz Hall apart from other towers on campus is the bathroom setup, Vinger said. In tower dormitories, community bathrooms are more space and energy efficient, Vinger said. For this reason, similar to Yocum, Humphreys

Interested persons may submit a resume and letter of interest to Cindy Alphin by email at calphin@centraltolife.com. Please contact: Cindy Alphin 479.442.1801 calphin@centraltolife.com
McKenna Gallagher Staff Photographer Hotz Hall remains under renovation, Saturday, Nov. 3. Hotz Hall will be reopened as a student residence in August 2013. and Reid, Hotz Hall will also install community style bathrooms. However, the university is going to make some changes to the format and layout of these bathrooms, in order to allow students more privacy, Vinger said. Instead of the old open latrine style, Hotz Hall will have a more pleasing experience, Vinger said. Upper floor restroom cores are located on the main corridors, and arranged in a “spa style,� Vinger said. Two full private baths are located on one side of the hall. On the opposite side, private bathrooms and water closets
open into a shared sink room. All rooms are separated by full-height walls and solid wood doors to ensure privacy, Vinger said. Hotz Hall will also have a complete sprinkler system installed throughout the entire building, Vinger said. The older towers on campus were built in a day where that was not really a requirement. New sprinkler systems are being installed in the older towers as well, Vinger said. At Pomfret there is a display of the furniture that will be in Hotz Hall and students are welcome to give their in-

“‘Blithe Spirit’ is a very funny play and has lots of special effects at the end that audiences seem to enjoy,� said Mavourneen Dwyer, associate acting professor of voice and speech and director of Blithe Spirit. Drama students, two graduate MFA actors and four undergrad actors will preform the play. Students had to perfect their “English accents� to preform this play. “I asked for extra rehearsal time for this play, 6 weeks in all, because the students will had to learn a British accent,� Dwyer said. “Blithe Spirit� was created by English playwright Noel Coward in 1941 and has been showed on Broadway and has now made its way to UA for the second time. It was first produced at UA in 1991 and directed by Dexter Roger Dixon. “We actually produce many Broadway shows here at the University Theatre,� said Ashley Cohea, university theatre business manager. “We try to select shows that both appeal to our audience members and challenge our students, giving them a wide range of acting experience during their time here.� Student admission to the show is free Wednesday and Thursday and $3 Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Prices are $16 for adults, $14 for faculty, staff and seniors and $7 for children, according to the drama department website. The revenue from tickets and concessions goes right back into the University Theatre to help pay for productions, Cohea said. “‘I would say that the staying power this show demonstrates is what makes it special. Anything that can still make people laugh 71 years after it was written is pretty special in my book, and this play definitely does that,� Cohea said. Cohea applied to Samuel French, Inc. for the rights to perform this play. “When we decide to do a show, we contact the publishing company that holds the rights and apply for permission. If the rights are available and no one else in the area has already requested them for the same time we want, the publishers send us a contract that we sign and return along with payment,� Cohea said.

Post-Election Discourse Unacceptable Editorial Board The Arkansas Traveler
Tuesday was, once again, historical. Not only did our first African-American president win re-election, but the first openly-gay person won a seat in the Senate. Yet, heated actions in the deep South Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning after it was “called” that President Obama won reelection, made us think that many of us have not learned our lessons from history. At Ole Miss, groups of students yelled at each other in parking lots and some students burned pictures of President Obama. The campus looked like “fireworks,” said Ole Miss freshman Jordan Regan. Users on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites dished out their criticism of the president, too. While we don’t believe that any criticism of a president is appropriate or warranted on Election Day, many comments went far beyond our wildest imaginations. The use of racial slurs and other pejorative terms seemed to define social media Tuesday night and Wednesday. We couldn’t fathom this behavior. In a time where social issues come further and further into the 21st century, this return to “brute” behavior is disappointing to say the
least. Language debates are some of the most endearing and passionate in the U.S. The definition and use of the word, “gay,” for instance, has been heavily discouraged in its common use to mean, “lame,” or, “stupid.” There are some that believe that our taboos on certain words in American English are too sensitive and perhaps prude, but the more rational conclusion is to understand that words have meaning. If one means to determine the worth of a person or idea, then they should do so using words as they are defined. If one wants to criticize the president, which should be off the table for at least a few more days, then they should alleviate themselves from ad hominem attacks. An ad hominem, or “an attack against the person,” is a poor excuse at trying to display ideas on social media. In logic, it is close to an automatic loss of an argument. In our daily lives, we should regard these arguments the same way. We hope that everyone in the SEC, including UA students, realize that all eyes are on us to lead the next generation. It is important that we all contribute to creating a nation of tolerance. This is as much of our civic duty as voting is; an inability to do so will never bring the U.S. forward.
DLC Needs to Advertise Editorial Board The Arkansas Traveler
The Distinguished Lectures Committee often provides UA students with a strong choice of guest speakers for the Hill. They have done so again this year, but how would anyone know? The ballot for selecting a distinguished lecturer is nowhere to be found except for Twitter. This lack of advertisement creates problems as not all students are given the “fair chance,” to be able to weigh in on which speaker they would like to hear from. DLC often deserves praise often for their strong selections of potential UA guest speakers, we want to offer them congratulations again this year for doing just that. Yet, it is time to streamline
the way voting is done on the Hill and DLC overwhelmingly needs to advertise the ballot for guest speakers. Efficacy is something that many students take issue to. Often, some students feel that what they do does not have purpose to their careers or that they are not included. When the UA motto is the “YOU of A,” we all ought to be able to easily cast our ballots for the spring semester speaker. We urge DLC to use UARK emails or create a tab on the University Programs website to allow students to be able to adequately cast their ballots for the spring speaker. Simply offering a link on Twitter is not enough, especially when the DLC is composed of strong student leaders. All students need proper notification to take part in this awesome opportunity.

Shawnya Wethington Staff Columnist Homecoming, Election Day — UA students had ample opportunity to rock the democratic process these past few weeks. Deciding who to vote for is important. So is your motivation for casting a ballot. Generally people vote for a couple of reasons. Some people base electoral decisions upon personal interactions, good or bad, with the candidates. They also look at party platform, or at who is endorsed by whom. They also pick candidates by who gives away the best free stuff. If you’re not careful, the little gifts — stickers, pens, candy, T-shirts — will color your judgment. You’ll be

even without stickers, but they certainly do add some incentive. Typically individuals want to see that their investments are profitable. Many people are reluctant to do something if they won’t see any return, and they want to ensure that they will receive a benefit from whatever favor it is they are doing. Then, they make a decision based on what will bring them the sweetest deal. We’re all focused on striving for the absolute best for ourselves. Sure, you have to look out for yourself to a certain extent, but at what point do you step back and look for what’s best for the good of the whole? When do you let selflessness be your guide? Sometimes what profits you the most isn’t the most beneficial option for others. At that point, you just have to examine your character. Think your decisions through, especially when your choices could adversely affect others. People equate those who give the best free goods to those who are best for a task. That’s not necessarily the case. In some instances, that could be so, but not always.
Sometimes the people who are the best fit are the least “generous” when it comes to gifts. It takes research on your part to know the difference By all means, grab that cool Post-it tab highlighter combo with a candidate’s name emblazoned across the side. Enjoy the pampering as you’re showered with gifts; just don’t let your love of merchandise dictate your judgment. When you are in the position to choose — whether this is for a project, officer selection, agenda or even where to eat your next meal — make sure your decision is founded upon reason. Goods or popularity shouldn’t dictate what you think is the best. Think those weighty decisions through. Try to look past the little handouts, and base your decisions on who is the best person for the job, what is truly the greatest idea and who has the most ability and drive to carry through on their promises. In the end, you’re still winning. Shawnya Wethington is a staff columnist. She is an English/journalism- news/ editorial major.
If Only I Had a Voice This Election Week
Bob McMath, Dean, Honors College
Editorial Board
swept into elevating your perceptions of people to something completely unfounded and undeserved. Those little cookies with a “vote for…” message scripted in lavender icing seem scrumptiously innocuous. Yet, it is extremely difficult to think anything other than good thoughts of someone while you’re biting down on a sugar-laden wafer. Face it, everybody loves getting free things. That’s why bribery is such a widely used tactic. It’s used because it works. Bribery positively thrives in the real world. Not just for candidates trying to garner votes, but also with alliances between people. You scratch my back and I’ll return the favor — that sort of thing. How many business deals are enacted by a foundation of mutual gain? Bribery also is used to gain attendance. Election Day this year was not an exception. Voters are bribed via sticker. That little adhesive badge entitles you to a certain level of bragging and privilege as long as long as you wear it, and it is guaranteed fodder for social media. Sure, people would continue to vote
Four year ago, when election time came around, I was a few months shy of being of the eligible age to vote. I stood in the doorway of having a voice and shouted my opinions, but nobody that mattered could hear me. I felt like the scarecrow, the tin man and the lion from “The Wizard of Oz,” musing and sighing “if I only had a voice” and listing the things I would do as a result. I was 17, and in hindsight, was just the slightly newer model of the product Parents. Four years later, at the ripe age of 21, I was ready.
All clad in our nation’s colors, in Dallas for fall break, I proudly filled out my form to receive my absentee ballot. I could almost feel the ghostly hand of Thomas Jefferson clasped gently over mine. “Here, let me help you,” he seemed to say, “I’m an old pro at signing things that impact America.” Just like that, his presence vanished, and I was left to wait for up to 14 days for my ballot to arrive at my house in Fayetteville. A week later, while reading on my couch, I heard the unmistakable noise of my mailman’s boots ascending the steps of my front porch to my mailbox. I opened up my red front door, admired the white clouds in the blue sky, and stood in a beam of light while he shuffled through his mailbag. “Here you go Ms. Gowdey, harbinger of peace, freedom and equality for all,” his gaze told me. We both held onto the absentee ballot between us until the cries of multiple bald eagles crescendoed somewhere overhead and broke up our moment. He left me to my American duty. I left
him to continue delivering the mail. I opened up my ballot at a bar stool in my kitchen and read through all the various letters and directions that came in the envelope. I was not going to screw this up. America needed me and I was not going to fail them. I found a No. 2 pencil under the table in the room over, sharpened it and blew lightly at the sharpened tip. It was time. I was ready. Once again, the ghost Jefferson and the rest of the founding fathers joined me around the island in my kitchen. I bubbled in my answers, using my laptop to research the issues on which I had not previously had an opinion. I confess I still do not know if I voted wisely for the new Texas Railroad Commissioner, and for that I am truly sorry. I quickly moved past this bout of debilitating guilt, sealed and signed my ballot. Before vanishing, John Hancock praised me for my signature, noting that his pointers had paid off. I walked outside to the mailbox and placed my ballot inside. My
part to play was completed and I had carried it out like a champion. I felt American. I went back inside my house and fixed a late breakfast and poured just enough apple juice into a glass with an ice cube to look like a glass celebratory scotch. A week later, the Sunday before the Tuesday election, I thought, for the first time in a long time, to check my mailbox. Because I usually never get mail, checking the mailbox is at the very bottom of a long list of things I rarely do. It was then I discovered my absentee ballot, still in the mailbox, along with various other letters and things the mailman had brought during the previous week. I do not know why he did not take my ballot. I felt a mixture of hurt and betrayed; that my fire for America had been forcibly extinguished. So this election week I have been once again left pondering what life would have been like “if I only had a voice.”

The ‘Front Page of the Internet’ a Student’s Haven from Studying and Homework
Mason Sams Staff Writer
In 2005, two friends, Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, created the social media website Reddit, or what they affectionately call “The Front Page of the Internet.” Today, Reddit boasts viewers in the millions as people frequent the website each day. The website is worked solely by the users as they post website links for others to see or self-posts to induce a conversation among users. There are also several “mod users” who have been given permission to moderate the posts and keep spam and negative comments contained. Finally, the posts are ranked by users, who either submit an “up vote” or a “down vote,” similar to Facebook’s “like” feature. But what draws users from around the world is not simply the material on the website — it is the chance for the world to meet on an international level. Registered users create their own username and are from then on anonymous on the website. Without asking the other users point blank where they are from, there is no way of knowing where they live. However, the website is also divided into “subReddits,” where users can focus in on one subject, like purely political conversation, funny images/ gifs/links, philosophical conversation or even a particular TV show, where users can predict or talk about new episodes. These sub-Reddits also allow users to focus their interests on certain subjects or even particular places. In fact, there are sub-Reddits for r/Fayetteville and r/Arkansas, where users who live in Fayetteville and Arkansas frequently talk about subjects pertaining to news and events in the area. There are also sub-Reddits where users can indulge in personal interests and hobbies like learning a language, talking about music or even asking questions to other users who may have expertise in the field. One of the most popular sub-Reddits is r/IAMA (also known as “I Am A”), where users can ask celebrities, politicians or experts in a particular field about essentially anything. Some of the most popular names are Neil Degrasse Tyson, Stephen Colbert and even Barack Obama. Questions are sifted based on the up-votes and down-votes, similar to the front page of the website. Often, the most up-voted questions are the ones a celebrity of IAMA answers. “I like Reddit because it’s basically everyone’s opinion about subjects you’re interested in,” said Kathleen Casamayor, senior political science and
economics major. “Also, I like that I can look at someone else’s opinion that might differ from mine.” Reddit is a place for opinions both shared and opposing. “It's a place for all types of people who share the same ideas to convene,” said Molly Perry, junior international relations major. “It has the freshest, funniest, most bizarre things on the Internet.” Aside from promoting funny images, art and intellectual discussion, Reddit has single-handedly raised hundreds of thousands for various charities around the world. One of the most frequented charities Reddit gives money to is “Doctors Without Borders,” which Reddit provided with $200,000 in 2011 alone. Reddit also has one of the largest “Secret Santa” events in the entire world. Redditors join in the Secret Santa group and anonymously send each other gifts they either have made personally or have purchased during the holiday season. However, there is a dark side to Reddit. At first, Reddit does not ask for potential viewers to register a username on the website. But as time passes by and “lurkers” invest their time on the website — a nickname for viewers of Reddit without a registered username — they become slowly addicted. The process is akin to the slow process of Facebook addiction. Soon, Redditors begin spending their time exploring the website and even posting comments and submitting links themselves. Most Redditors have a few favorite subReddits. Casamayor likes “r/startrek,” “r/documentaries” and “r/TIL,” better known as “Today I Learned.” But some people, like junior biology major Austin Degn, are fond of the front page, where there is a conglomeration of the most upvoted links from the most populated sub-Reddits. Though Reddit is an exceptional place for information, entertainment and conversation, it is important to be careful of how much time is spent on the website. Casamajor and Perry spend at least an hour a day on the website. Some Redditors spend hours on the weekend exploring different sub-Reddits or engaging in various conversations. That being said, perhaps it is best to get homework, papers and studying done before logging
onto Reddit, because you never know how much time will be spent scouring through a seemingly endless amount of pages.

Gunfire and Warfare to Plague Dorm Rooms Nationwide with New ‘Call of Duty’ Expansion Antony Wanjala Staff Writer
The scent of gunpowder wafts through the air, ammunition flies from room-to-room amidst a slew of curses and one’s own ability to survive is governed by one immutable fact: how much time you’ve spent honing your skills. This isn’t a regular battlefield — this is Yocum Hall. With players composed of students from every walk of life, whether engineering, apparel studies or business majors, no one is safe from the carnage that will ensue when “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” drops Nov. 13. It shouldn’t come as any surprise that a game like this will do some serious damage to productivity campuswide — so purchase this video game with caution. Freshman engineering student Abel Trespalacios weighed in on the importance of the next installment in the Call of Duty series by saying he “plans to play as much as he can even with an engineering degree hanging in the balance.” The dedication that fans of the series have is undoubtedly why Treyarch, the developer of video game title, has continued to pursue this incredibly profitable business venture. Within hours of the release of the previous installment in the series, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,” the title sold more than a million units worldwide, becoming the fastest-selling video game title to date. Of course, whether or not its successor will trump this record is up for grabs, but with the current hype surrounding “Black Ops 2” this holiday season, it wouldn’t be a long shot. Whether students are playing on an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, they are currently practicing their way through multiplayer matches in sweet anticipation for the upcoming release. The most fervent fans have already pre-ordered the title and have only to wait for their inboxes to alert them that their package has arrived. Kevin Cooper, sophomore engineering student, “can’t wait for the new multiplayer zombies mode,” which took the heart of millions in the original “Black Ops.” In addition to new modes and weapons, fans of the series can expect a serious overhaul in the vi-

With production values through the roof, Activision, the publisher of the series, has made some serious improvements to the series’ graphics and physics engine, if the trailers are anything to be believed. Guns and ammunition more closely resemble their reallife counterparts, and, for fans of the series’ story line, a potential conclusion to hours of gameplay awaits. To add, Activision has also poured tons of cash into the game’s ad campaign, which includes the famous face of Robert Downey Jr. bringing a “jet to a gunfight” as per usual. He and a number of other recognizable personalities are a stringent effort on Activision’s part to lessen the gap between those who play Call of Duty and those who choose not to. Which side will you choose? Come Nov. 13, you may not have a choice.

FOOTBALL
Five Keys to South Carolina Andrew Hutchinson Staff Writer
#
Leadership on Defense
Less than 24 hours after Arkansas’ 19-15 Homecoming victory over Tulsa last week, senior middle linebacker Terrell Williams was arrested for driving while intoxicated. UA interim head coach John L. Smith has suspended Williams indefinitely and has said he will not play Saturday against the Gamecocks. Williams was already filling in for injured seniors Tenarius Wright and Alonzo Highsmith, so Arkansas will be starting their fourth different middle linebacker. Similar to the quarterback, middle linebacker is the leadership position on the defense, so having freshmen Otha Peters and A.J. Turner will leave a gap in leadership. Smith expects senior safety Ross Rasner to take up most of these responsibilities. Whether it is Rasner or someone else does not matter – someone must take control on defense and lead them to victory.
$
Spread the Ball Around
Without injured senior tight end Chris Gragg and suspended junior wide receiver Brandon Mitchell, senior quarterback Tyler Wilson has been forced to find other people to throw the ball to. Senior wide receiver Cobi Hamilton has been thrown a majority of Wilson’s passes and recently broke current Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jarius Wright’s school record for receptions in a season, with 69. However, Wilson needs to find other players to throw the ball to, because defenses will start to double-team Hamilton. Players like freshman Mekale McKay and juniors Julian Horton and Demetrius Wilson need to step up. Also, the running backs, senior Dennis Johnson and freshman Jonathan Williams, will be called upon to catch passes out of the backfield. With a tough opponent like the Gamecocks, the Razorbacks need to spread the ball around on offense.
%
Block South Carolina’s Defensive Ends
South Carolina’s defense is tied for seventh in the nation with 30 sacks. Senior Devin Taylor and sophomore Jadeveon Clowney lead the Gamecock defensive line at the end positions. Taylor is third in school history with 33 career tackles for loss and fifth with 18 career sacks. Only a sophomore, Clowney is also climbing up those lists, already tied for 10th with 27 career tackles for loss and sixth with 16.5 career sacks. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 256 pounds, Clowney has 8.5 sacks this season, tied for 11th most in the country, and is already being talked about as a potential first round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Last week, Arkansas gave up only one sack to the country’s team leader in sacks, Tulsa. They will need a similar performance to beat No. 8 South Carolina.

Razorbacks vs. South Carolina Predictions Zack Wheeler Staff Writer
Passing Offense:
Arkansas wide receiver Cobi Hamilton is becoming a complete nightmare for opposing defenses. The Razorbacks are also averaging more yards per game as opposed to the Gamecocks. South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw has had an up and down year, but he is always a threat to run and break down the Hogs’ secondary. With Tyler Wilson being a vocal leader, and Cobi Hamilton continuing to have huge games the advantage goes to Arkansas. Advantage: Arkansas
Rushing Offense:
"
Have a Balanced Offensive Attack
Likewise, the Razorbacks must also have a solid ground game. Johnson has picked up his offensive performance, averaging 135 yards per game the last two weeks. Williams has provided a nice spark to the offense as well, averaging 4.7 yards per carry. These two players have helped open up the pass game more by forcing opposing defenses to defend both the run and the pass. This will allow receivers to get open easier because defenses won’t be able to have an extra safety in coverage or be able to double-team Hamilton. The key to all offenses is a balanced attack, and Arkansas is no exception.
!
Freshmen Need to Make Plays
As mentioned before, freshmen linebackers Peters and Turner will be asked to play more than usual this Saturday. Several players have mentioned the physical maturity of these freshmen, but experience is still a big factor. Both of them got a lot of playing time against Tulsa last week, as they combined for 11 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Turner also had a big hit that gave Arkansas momentum. They will need this energy again this week in order for the Razorbacks to have a chance to pull off the upset against the Gamecocks.
CROSS COUNTRY
Hogs to Race In Regional Meet
Andrew Hutchinson Staff Writer
The NCAA South Central Regional Cross Country meet will be held at Agri Park in Fayetteville tomorrow. Both the men’s and women’s Razorback cross country teams will compete. The men’s team is ranked No. 10 in the country and is coming off of their 20th Southeastern Conference Championship in 22 years. “Obviously we’re happy to win (the SEC),” men’s cross country head coach Chris Bucknam said. “Anytime you win an SEC Championship, it’s a special event.” Junior Solomon Haile, senior Eric Fernandez and junior Kemoy Campbell earned First Team All-SEC honors by placing second, third and fourth, respectively. Senior Layne Nixon earned Second Team All-SEC honors by
placing 12th, while freshman Cale Wallace finished 14th, earning Second Team AllSEC and SEC Freshman of the Year honors. “We got great efforts from our top five,” Bucknam said. Bucknam was particularly pleased with Wallace’s performance, after he had a disappointing race at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational in Madison, finishing 244th out of 316 runners. “For Cale Wallace to have his best race of the year, with the most on the line, bodes well for the future,” Bucknam said. At the Regional meet, Arkansas must finish in the top two team spots in order to guarantee a spot at the NCAA Championship meet in Louisville. No. 5 Texas and SECfoe No. 29 Texas A&M present Arkansas their biggest challenge out of the 21 other teams. “This Regional meet is the
most important meet of the year,” Bucknam said. “You go in wanting to win every race, but our goal is to make it through the preliminary round and get to the NCAA Championship. That’s the number one goal: finish in the top two.” The women’s team is ranked No. 12 in the country and finished second at the SEC Championship two weeks ago. Women’s cross country head coach Lance Harter believes the two-week break will work to the Razorbacks’ advantage. “I think the kids are healthy,” Harter said. “The last two weeks were critical in physiologically getting you ready for the national championship.” For the first time ever, the NCAA Championship meet is only eight days after the regional meet, causing him to strategize and “play with the lineup a little bit,” Harter said.
Senior Semehar Tesfaye, sophomore Grace Heymsfield and freshman Andrina Schlaepfer will be in the lineup for the Regional meet, but beyond that is uncertain. Harter would like to rest junior Keri Wood; however, sophomores Diane Robison, Shannon Klenke, Paige Johnston and Kaitlin Flattmann will be in the mix for the final two spots. Arkansas will be competing against 22 other teams, including No. 22 Texas and SMU, who received votes in the last rankings. “I think it’s a battle between us, Texas and SMU,” Harter said. “There’s also always that hidden fact that you just never know who might pop up. Baylor has a tendency to rise up at the end of the season and Texas A&M had a good squad last year.” The women’s race begins at 11 a.m. tomorrow morning, with the men’s race following at 12:15 p.m.
Arkansas has made vast improvements in the running game throughout the season. The Gamecocks suffered a huge blow by losing star running back Marcus Lattimore for the year because of a gruesome knee injury. Last week against Tulsa, Dennis Johnson rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns. South Carolina is coming off their bye week, so we will get to see who will emerge as the replacement for Lattimore. Right now, Arkansas looks to have more consistency at the running position. Advantage: Arkansas
Passing Defense:
This area is what could turn out to be the key for the game Saturday. Arkansas allowed 222 yards through the air against Tulsa, whereas South Carolina gave up nearly 400 yards to Tyler Bray and the Tennessee Volunteers. South Carolina and Arkansas will both look to take advantage of each other’s respective secondaries. With some of the performances both teams have produced here, pass defense isn’t each team’s strong point. Advantage: Even
Rushing Defense:
South Carolina has a potential first-round draft choice in sophomore Jadeveon Clowney at defensive end. Arkansas also has a future draft pick in Chris Smith at defensive end. Clowney has wreaked havoc for the oppo-
sition all year, and Smith has had some huge games of his own. Both teams have had success stopping the run, but South Carolina has more talent across the board. South Carolina has also allowed nearly fewer points per game than the Hogs. Advantage: South Carolina
Special Teams:
Once again last week we saw how valuable Dylan Breeding is to the Hogs. His average of 58.3 yards per punt consistently left Tulsa with a long way to go to get in the endzone. South Carolina is averaging nearly 43 yards per kick by their senior kicker. Both Zach Hocker and Adam Yates have similar statistics on field goal kicking as well. Neither team has managed any explosive returns, so the edge goes to Arkansas because of Breeding’s ability to pin opponents deep in their territory. Advantage: Arkansas
Coaching:
The “ole ball coach” has South Carolina sitting at 7-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference and a No. 8 ranking nationally. Arkansas’ coaching staff has gotten this team back to 4-5, 2-3 SEC. Arkansas is currently looking for a replacement coach, where South Carolina has stability and an identity to how they want to play. The two respective universities seem to be going in opposite directions at the moment. Advantage: South Carolina
Overall:
South Carolina is superior to Arkansas at this point in time. Arkansas has some opportunities to take advantage of the Gamecocks’ weaknesses, but playing on the road is a huge disadvantage for Arkansas. Arkansas must strike early and force South Carolina to run instead of pass the football. I pick South Carolina to win this game 34-24, with Arkansas keeping it close until late in the fourth quarter. Advantage: South Carolina
COMMENTARY
Smith Earns Respect for Terrell Williams’ Suspension
Andrew Hutchinson Staff Writer Arkansas’ football season has truly been a roller coaster ride. Like most Razorback fans, I’ve watched in agony, loss after loss, injury after injury and suspension after suspension. The most recent suspension was especially tough.
Senior linebacker Terrell Williams was arrested for driving while intoxicated early Sunday morning. UA interim head coach John L. Smith responded by suspending Williams indefinitely. Williams was already filling in for seniors Tenarius Wright and Alonzo Highsmith, who will miss the remainder of the season because of injuries. Many fans have been calling for Smith to be fired because of Arkansas’ five losses and his press conferences that sometimes leave fans and media members scratching their heads. However, I believe he should be commended for suspending Williams. DWI is a serious crime, as it not only puts his health and wellbeing at risk, but it also
puts other people on the road in danger. From 1991 to 2010, over a quarter of a million people lost their lives because of drunken drivers. I’ve heard some Razorback fans say that Smith’s punishment was too severe. Even former Razorback and current Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jarius Wright tweeted that Williams’ suspension was “crazy.” How is suspending someone for breaking the law “crazy”? You cannot drink and drive; that law is as clear as it could possibly be. Yet Williams, as many athletes do, thought he was above the law and could get away with it. Wright also tweeted that Williams should be punished in the weight room and with running after practice, but not
suspended. Sure, these punishments are great for some small violations, but not DWI. From my experience playing high school football, simple punishments aren’t nearly as effective as suspension. The pain from lifting weights and running might last a day or two, but the pain from having to watch your teammates play without you will last a lifetime. Also, some Razorback fans argue that Williams’ suspension shouldn’t be “indefinite.” They say that he should know if he is suspended for one or two games, or the rest of the season. I think the indefinite suspension will actually help Williams and the Razorbacks in the long run. Instead of knowing when he’ll be back, he will have to go out in practice every
day and fight for his spot back. He will have to go above and beyond the call of duty to show the coaches that he is ready and deserves to be back. College athletes are living the dream of thousands of kids everywhere. Why they do stupid things to jeopardize it is beyond me. Not only do they have to obey the law like normal citizens, but they also have to live up to a higher standard. When Williams was arrested, the headline was “Arkansas Football Player Arrested,” not “UA Student Arrested” or “21-Year-Old Arrested.” Athletes have to realize that their mistakes are magnified and they will have to face consequences for them. It would have been easy for Smith to punish Williams in practice and not suspend him
in order to keep him at middle linebacker. It is an accepted fact that Smith will not return as head coach of the Razorbacks next season, so he could have easily left him in for the sake of winning. Instead, he took the integrity route, similar to how UA Director of Athletics Jeff Long handled the Bobby Petrino situation earlier this year. Regardless of whether Arkansas defeats South Carolina this weekend or makes a bowl game at the end of the year, I will always respect Smith for making the right decision by suspending Williams.
