Hens survive early mistakes, defeat Jacksonville 51-35 BY PAUL TIERNEY Managing Sports Editor
Even before Jacksonville University quarterback Kade Bell found wide receiver D’Andre Randle for a 13-yard touchdown pass with 3:54 to play in the first quarter of the Delaware football team’s season opener , the mood inside Delaware Stadium had already gone from celebratory to one of scathing frustration. Just three plays after senior wideoutRob Jones muffed a punt, Dolphins wide receiver Anthony Robustelli caught his first of two touchdowns on the night. On the ensuing kickoff, Hens junior defensive back Jordan Thomas was stripped of the football, and Jacksonville’s Andre Addison recovered on Delaware’s 13-yard line. Bell found Randle on the very next play. In just seven seconds, the Dolphins had scored two touchdowns, leaving the Hens down 14-0 to a team without a single scholarship player on its roster. “It’s Jacksonville,” one fan blared from atop Delaware Stadium, as if first-year head coach Dave Brock was unaware his team was on the verge of embarrassing itself during his head coaching debut. But then senior quarterback Trent Hurley, fresh off of a disappointing 2012 campaign in which he threw more interceptions than touchdowns, emerged from the sideline with his composure intact and led the Hens back into the contest. “We just kept playing,”

Junior quarterback Trent Hurely (no.2) takes a snap from senior offensive lineman Brandon Heath during Delaware’s victory over Jacksonville University on Thursday night. Hurley, who completed 19 of 29 passes for 238 yards, said after the game. “We talked earlier about how adversity was going to strike, and it did. We didn’t panic.” On Delaware’s first drive of the second quarter, Hurley led the
Hens 39 yards downfield on six plays, culminating with a lateral to senior wide receiver Michael Johnson on an option run for the team’s first touchdown of the night. On Delaware’s next drive, Hurley found junior tight end Nick Boyle wide open for

he believes King would have embraced the middle class’ struggle in the same way he embraced the civil rights movement. “For what does it profit a man, Dr. King would ask, to sit at an integrated lunch counter if he can’t afford the meal?” Obama said. Jim Newton, a former professor in the Black American Studies department, went to both Washington, D.C. in both 1963 and in 2013.
A new fraternity, Pi Alpha Phi, will be joining the Greek life community this year. The fraternity, which is dedicated to uniting the Asian-American community, is currently recruiting students on campus, bringing the university its first Asian-interest fraternity, according to Adam Cantley, assistant director of fraternity and sorority life. According to Cantley, the fraternity presented its request for validity to the Multicultural Greek Congress during the spring semester of 2013. Student members at the time voted to grant the fraternity membership, and national representatives of Pi Alpha Phi will spend this semester recruiting members and building a presence on campus. “The students were excited to bring a new opportunity to UD,” Cantley stated in an email message. “We hope to see new members wearing letters on campus by December.” Cantley said Pi Alpha Phi’s main statutes would be similar to most other fraternities and sororities, except that one main focus of their organization is the American-Asian community as a whole.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King delivers his now-famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in on Aug. 28, 1963.
Nation commemorates 50th anniv. of March on Washington BY MATT BUTLER Student Affairs Editor
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” These words were spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during his speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Aug. 28, 1963. That historic
rally was commemorated this week in the nation’s capital by thousands of people celebrating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Guest speakers included President Barack Obama, as well as former President Bill Clinton and a litany of celebrities and civil rights figures. Obama spoke on the similarities of the civil rights movement of the 20th century and the efforts to empower the middle class that are occurring today. Regarding this, Obama said
Obama proposes incentive to keep tuition rates low BY MATT BUTLER Student Affairs Desk Editor
President Barack Obama has announced a new initiative to keep college tuition costs at a reasonable rate for future students. During a speech on Aug. 22 at the University at Buffalo, Obama introduced his plan to institute a new system that would reward universities that keep the cost of their education down by

providing them with higher amounts of federal aid. Obama’s announcement showed progress in lowering student tuition and loan rates, something he has campaigned for since his election in 2008, and touched upon during this year’s State of the Union on Feb. 12. He said college is key to supporting the middle class, and in turn it is essential for today’s job market, calling upon Congress to take action.

“We have made college more affordable for millions of students and families over the last few years,” Obama said. “But taxpayers cannot continue to subsidize the soaring cost of higher education. Colleges must do their part to keep costs down, and it’s our job to make sure they do.” Now, seven months later, Obama has proposed a more comprehensive version of that plan. Obama said he wants to form a ranking system that

would rate schools based on their tuition prices and how high their peripheral education statistics are. A White House statement from the Office of the Press Secretary identified other statistics such as graduation rates, debt and earnings of graduates and the percentage of students attending the university who are from low-income families.
