Numbers conclude Einstein Bros vs. Starbucks enrollment down

by Catherine Olson

For the 2010-11 school year, overall enrollment for undergraduates has gone down by two percent, but the university has maintained stability and made some major steps in other areas.

Students applying to college each year do not realize how their enrollment will affect their new school.

That aspect of the enrollment process, however, is the focus of university’s faculty and staff.

The average ACT score has stayed at its high of 21.7, a testament to ULM’s rising standards for admission.

Although higher admission standards make some students ineligible for acceptance at ULM, interim president Dr. Richters said, “We are interested in increasing performance standards. We hope to entice better students.”

The change in these standards isn’t likely to be the cause behind enrollment decrease, said Richters.

There has also been a 25 percent increase in the dual enrollment program, and will likely continue to go up. Dual enrollment is available to high school students who are still attending class in high school but want to start college courses.

“ULM has tried to maintain a certain standard that is flexible enough to include dual enrollment students,” said Dr. Christian Rubio, ULM’s honors program director.

At the same time, the school is also increasing programs with commu-

nity colleges throughout the state.

At the same time, there has been a significant increase in tuition, which may explain the drop in enrollment this year.

Dr. Richters said, “Since about 46 percent of the students here are Pell eligible, any rise in tuition makes it more difficult, but it’s critical universities can provide services for students.”

Tuition is likely to continue to increase, as schools go from relying on state funding to relying more heavily on tuition.

Expanding the online program, which has increased by 14 percent this year, is meant to attract students who normally wouldn’t be interested in ULM as well as nontraditional students.

With high hopes and several plans in progress, ULM expects to see an increase in enrollment in the near future. contact Catherine Olson at olsoncr@warhawks.ulm.edu

Richters tosses name in hat for top ULM job

by Brooke Hofstetter

ULM interim president Stephen Richters has applied for the permanent position of presidency.

Richeters said he wants to help lead ULM through this hard economic time and to continue building a relationship with the community.

“I’ve got a real passion for the university and this community,” said Richters.

Richters was on the team that led ULM through its changing times

while James Cofer was president. Six other applicants have applied with the University of Louisiana System.

Richters The search committee, R.H. Perry and Associates of Washington, is scheduled to interview semifinalists for the ULM presidency in mid-October and is aiming to have a new president by December.

Einstein Bros, located in the SUB, is alternative to Starbucks Coffee.

Students sound off about their favorite coffee spot on campus

by Andrew McDonald

The newest eatery on campus, Einstein Bros Bagels, is creating quite a stir amongst coffee drinkers.

Einstein’s replaced Freshens in the Student Union Building (SUB), and offers a variety of bagel sandwiches, along with caffeinated beverages. The restaurant’s coffee choices have been an alternative for Starbucks and Java City customers who might be near the south end of campus.

Starbucks has become a staple hangout for students who want to enjoy a cup of coffee and either chat with friends between class or study. Since ULM is one of only two public universities in Louisiana with a full store on campus, their drinks have become a treat.

Starbucks has a large following, which is apparent every morning

by the enormous line of students and faculty waiting to order.

Kacie Mathieu, a junior nursing major from Monroe, said, “I just love the friendly atmosphere of Starbucks and the comfy couches.”

Another devoted customer to Starbucks, Laykin Kelley, a prepharmacy major from Shreveport, agrees with Mathieu.

“I love the convenience of this chain. Almost as much as I love the white chocolate mocha and the Mathieu caramel frappuccino,” said Kelley.

However, former Starbucks lovers are now turning to Einstein Bros. Vu Nguyen, a senior pre-rad tech from New Orleans usually comes to Einstein’s at least once a

week.

“Einstein Bros knows my name, and the service is always fast because it’s apparent they want you to return,” Kelley said Nguyen.

Emily Bouso, a senior toxicology major from Bossier, said “I prefer Einstein’s to Starbucks. It is an excellent addition to the SUB.” Both Einstein’s and Starbucks were the first locations in Northeast Louisiana, and are big hits among students. Some students prefer one over the other, some like both. The choices and possibilities are endless. So, the question remains: Einstein’s or Starbucks? contact Andrew McDonald at mcdonaat@warhawks.ulm.edu

Relationship coach gives dating advice to students

by Courtney Collins

Ryan Clauson lived up to his title as Dating Coach, Body Language Expert and YES! Comedian. With his new book, “The Nine Rules of Attraction,” he gives the unfortunate “dating impaired” a step-bystep guide to meeting people and maintaining relationships.

Clauson shared his knowledge in front of students in Brown Auditorium. He said body language, tone of voice and words are three things that can make or break a first impression.

“Focus on the person being attractive, not you being attractive to them.” said Clauson. He continued by saying

to ask what they’re passionate about and get to the general stuff later.

A person who is really Clauson into you will face you so watch that belly button. “If their belly button is turned away from you, then they are not attracted to you,” he said.

Clauson said by doing simple things like motivating yourself and building up your confidence, you will see a change not only in yourself but the people around you, so live in the moment. contact Courtney Collins at colinc3@warhawks.ulm.edu

The current construction behind the Administration Building is part of the new Campus Security Project.

A brick screen will be built behind the building to protect the air systems and equipment running the Computing Center.

The project is funded by the state and costs about $3 million, said Jason Roubique, Director of Facilities Management. The Computing Center is on the

first floor and hosts the majority of the servers for computer and security systems on campus.

A new generator will also be installed to allow systems to continue working in the event of a power outage.

The Campus Security Project includes improvements to sur and specifically an emergency siren system.

The project should be finished by June 2011.

Bug invasion taking over students’ rooms

by LeAndrea Williams

Some new neighbors are moving into Masur and University Commons and they are creating quite a buzz.

Crickets have taken over every corridor in Masur, making it impossible to walk without the fear of being attacked by a creepy crawly.

In University Commons I, the scene isn’t any better. Not only are students having problems with crickets, but there are also an overwhelming number of earwigs present.

Melanie Austin a Kinesiology/Pre-Physical Therapy major from Leesville, said, “They are terrible I had to kill like three earwigs within a two minute timeframe and then a cricket appeared.”

Students in Masur are having an even tougher time coping with the flood of crickets waiting outside their doors.

The bugs are even starting to make their ways inside of the rooms.

Kristen LaGarde, a senior Kinesiology ma-

jor from Slidell, said, “I have been trying to set traps.”

Students in both dorms say that they have asked their RAs about the problem, and nothing really seems to help. Most are stocking up on bug spray and keeping a shoe handy.

Until Residential Life, or the university, can offer a solution, students will be forced to deal with the new crowd of neighbors. contact LeAndrea Williams at willi8@warhawks.ulm.edu

The ULM Bookstore is willing to help students with book issues.

Most textbook problems beyond store’s control

by Melinda Johnson

Students and faculty have voiced concerns this semester about getting wrong textbooks or incomplete orders from the ULM bookstore.

“The ULM bookstore was unaware that a book was required for my English class. I had to order the book on Amazon,” said Amanda Scott, a freshman biology major from Delhi La..

According to Rick Guerrero, the general manager of the ULM bookstore, one problem could be ‘custom printing’, which means the books take extra time to be shipped. Sometimes specific textbooks are out of stock at the ULM bookstore or the publishing company.

“In one case, the books ordered for a class were the wrong ones and were pulled off the shelf,” Guerrero said. “It is possible that students bought the incorrect ones before they could be pulled.”

Most times, Guerrero said, the problem with textbooks is beyond the store’s control.

Many times professors order their books late or after classes have started.

Sometimes, not enough books are ordered, and there are more students than books.

Guerrero said the bookstore is willing to work with students and faculty to fix the situation. contact Melinda Johnson at johnsonm2@warhawks.ulm.edu

Colbert sandbags change during Hawkeye P.O.V. Raising concerns about his congressional testimony ULM’s enrollment numbers

ZACHARY K. PARKER Stephen Colbert, the cable TV political satirist, testified before a House Judiciary subcommittee last Friday as a witness on migrant farm labor.

When he testified, he didn’t come as the Stephen Colbert who had worked alongside Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose), the subcommittee chairwoman, the day before picking beans as part of the United Farm Workers’ Take Our Jobs campaign.

Instead, Colbert came as his alter-ego and spoke in character as the right-wing talk show host, a character created as a send-up of other media figures like the contemptuous Bill O’Reilly.

“I certainly hope that my star power can bump this hearing all the way up to C-SPAN1,” Colbert said. But his testimony is different than when celebrities bring media attention to political issues.

The list of celebrities performing this task is quite long, including most recently Lady Gaga’s more-serious-in-blackand-white video addressing the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy after speaking at a Maine rally to overturn the restriction.

Colbert’s appearance as a fictional character before Congress can hardly qualify as parody.

He’s no longer satirizing politicians from a television set, he’s

contributing to the madness already present in our government.

It’s difficult to call Colbert’s performance a mockery when we think about how much of a joke the government has already made itself. It’s a bad sign when fictional characters like Colbert’s mock-conservative TV host permeate the U.S. government.

I love Colbert and appreciate his ministry of “truthiness.” But it’s not a good idea for Congress to entertain the testimonies, however sincere and valuable, of imaginary people. On a func-

“I certainly hope that my star power can bump this hearing all the way up to C-SPAN1”

-Stephen Colbert

tional level, the fictional figure is no longer addressing the madness of the political arena—the figure becomes an oblivious criticism of people who do.

It would make a mockery, not only of the system, but also of people’s general welfare to hear the testimonies of fantasy social champions like Superman or Wonder Woman (Marvel comic book heroes don’t count).

Republican critics try to make Colbert’s “stunt” out to be a desperate attempt to garner attention for the Democratic party.

Excuse me? In 2002, Republicans asked Elmo from “Sesame Street” to testify on music education before the Education Appropriations Subcommittee.

If it has to be an imaginary person, let it be a Colbert who offers his colonoscopy into congressional record as proof that produce is a “necessary source of roughage.”

Elmo and Colbert-as-hisfaux-personality only add to the blurring of politics and media.

Unfortunately, this blurring has been going on to such an extent we have to ask what politician isn’t mocking the system with a persona less than truthful?

Near the end of Colbert’s testimony, he seemed to address the subcommittee as himself, or at least, it appeared that way.

“I like talking about people who don’t have any power, and it seems like one of the least powerful people in the United States are migrant workers who come and do our work but don’t have any rights themselves,” he said.

Regardless of his honest intentions, the line had already been crossed and the public’s perception obscured. Will the public look past Colbert’s act and his entertaining jokery?

Will they pay attention to Colbert’s sincere concern for the legal status of illegal immigrants in farm work?

At this point, the answer seems to be no. The performance has blunted the purpose.

Like a Joel Schumacher movie, the style has sabotaged the substance. contact Zachary K. Parker at parkerzk@warhawks.ulm.edu

During hard economic times, the normal trend for universities’ enrollment numbers is to increase. However, with recent numbers released last week by ULM officials, this university experienced a two percent decrease this fall.

Last semester, ULM was home to just over 9,000 students; however, only about 8,800 students call themselves Warhawks this year. There are many questions as to why the numbers have slowly decreased in undergraduate enrollment.

Lisa Miller, the associate provost of enrollment management, recently said that the small decline in numbers was more than likely due to concerns about the economy.

While this is a great assessment, it makes the Hawkeye wonder if not having a president attributed to students decisions in not coming to ULM. Potential students may have seen the president getting out, and figured we were not worth considering.

Even during these hard economic times, Louisiana Tech saw a five percent increase in enrollment since last fall; Louisiana Delta Community College’s enrollment went up about 18 percent; and, Louisiana State University went up about three percent.

How is it that during these hard times, everyone else’s numbers are going up (or staying the same) and we’ve gone down by about 150 students?

Even though this decrease in enrollment numbers is not encouraging, we must continue to speak up and find a leader. ULM may be suffering right now because of it, and it is time to put someone permanently in charge to take away uncertainties.

This university is a wonderful place to attend and get involved with, and students should be banging down our doors to get here. Let’s give them a reason to want to come here, call this place home and get the Warhawk pride.

‘And that’s another Warhawk...’

The man behind the microphone: the omniscient voice of ULM sports

by Heidi Fuller

At every ULM home football and basketball game, as the crowd roars with excitement, a familiar voice can always be heard over the cheers.

Though everyone knows this voice, nobody seems to know who it belongs to.

Next time you hear “And that’s another Warhawk...”, fans will better know the man behind the voice.

Q: Where are you from?

A: I’m from Monroe.

Q: Did you go to college at ULM? What was your major?

A: I did at, then, NLU. Radio/TV/Film Production, which is now all merged into Mass Communications.

Q: Did you play any sports when growing up? If so, which was your favorite?

A: I played lots of sports growing up, but I was a music guy, as well. I like baseball.

Q: Are you a full-time announcer?

A: It’s a part-time gig in Monroe. You can’t make a living doing announcing, but I do radio and TV commercials, ULM football and basketball, and I used to do baseball, but not anymore. I’ve done professional football when we had a professional arena team [in Monroe].

I also do voice over work and MC’ing work, as well.

Q: What are your hobbies aside from announcing?

A: On the side, I enjoy playing music.

I’m a trumpet player. I’m big into electronics and do a lot of radio and music tech. I still travel and do 20,000-seat arena shows doing sound and lighting work.

Q: How long have you been an announcer? What made you want to announce sports?

A: I was always a pretty good speaker.

I started announcing when I was 13 or 14 years old doing local Little League baseball games. Then in 1989, I started in radio in what was then KNLU, and

now KXUL. Q: How did you get asked to do the job at ULM? A: I got the job by default. I had a good friend of mine named Wayne Gentry, who was the previous announcer to me, and back in 2000 the Sunbelt Conference instituted instant replay for football and he went and started doing instant replay and video production so he needed to find somebody to slide back into his old spot.

Q: Do you get any special treatment as ULM’s sports announcer?

A: You get all the popcorn you can hold, and that’s pretty much about it.

Q: Do you ever question the ref ’s decision?

A: Yes, I do, but you have to be nice to everybody. I’m actually in a box with a referee who’s running the clock so I have to kind of keep my mouth shut. Also, the other guys that run the play clock, etc. are all old referees so we’re always second-guessing the referees, but we just kind of look at each other and don’t say anything so we don’t get in trouble.

Q: Do you have any “golden rules” that you follow while you’re announcing? Any special techniques or tricksof-the-trade?

A: I have a couple. I’ve learned to eat and talk at the same time. I can put popcorn in one half of my mouth and speak out the other side, which is interesting. I do have a few things I use for my voice, and it’s strange, but I use popcorn to clear out my throat because it kind of scratches down through there. If your throat gets raw, I start to eat peanut M&M’s and the chocolate coats your throat and makes it feel better.

Q: Other than warming up your voice, do you tweak your voice for announcing to give any special effect?

A: I do a little bit. I over enunciate because coming through the PA system you have to [talk over the crowd].

Q: Do you enjoy being the mysterious ULM sports announcer?

A: I do. It’s a good gig.

Q: Do you critique other announcers when you hear them?

A: I do, all the time. Every time I go somewhere I usually steal something from where ever I’m at, too.

I’ll bring it back home.

Q: Do you ever mute the TV and pretend yo u’re

announcing the show?

A: I do occasionally, before football season starts every year, I’ll mute the TV and call a few minutes of the game just to try and get myself back in the rhythm.

The first game of the year you always kind of have to get going. After that, you’re home free and you’re okay for the rest of the year.

Q: Do you have any inspirations, influences, or anyone you try to emulate when announcing?

A: No, not really, I just try to go and do my own thing. I have picked up things from different places, but I just sort of do my own thing. I’ve been a lot of places and I sound like half a gazillion other announcers.

Q: What teams, of any sport, are you a diehard fan of?

A: ULM and whoever’s playing Louisiana Tech.

Q: If you could have announced any historical sporting event, what would it have been?

A: Probably the Ali-Frazier boxing matches.

Q: Any embarrassing moments from announcing you’ll never forget?

A: Occasionally, your voice goes crazy on you and you sound like you hit puberty.

Q: Any advice for aspiring sports announcers?

A: Just try to develop your own style, don’t copy anybody, and just try to be fair to both teams. You’ve got fans there from both places and you can get the crowd pumped up without cheering on your team.

The mysterious announcer is Corey Crowe. No longer is he a mystery to the student body. So, next time fans hear his famous line, they can now put a name to the voice of ULM sports. contact Heidi Fuller at fullerhe@warhawks.ulm.edu

8 a.m. classes may harm students Study highlights ill effects of sleep deprivation

by Heidi Fuller

The luxury of scheduling your own class times is available to all college students, but could scheduling earlier classes be harmful to your health and GPA? If you’re not an early bird by nature, then it’s advisable to schedule later class times. Staying up late may seem like a profound choice to make as an independent adult, but is it worth sacrificing school work?

Sleep deprivation is directly related to lower GPAs due to its side effects, reports the National Sleep Foundation (NSF).

Lack of sleep generally causes vulnerable immune systems, decrease in daily function, school absences and depression. These are exactly the things college students are warned against concerning their success in school and life.

A study of 111 students at St. Lawrence University in New York showed

students who frequently pulled allnighters had lower grade point average than those students who slept regularly.

It’s easy to procrastinate studying, skip a class or even drop a class, especially those at eight in the morning, when you are suffering from sleep deprivation.

NSF suggests the average person should get seven to nine hours of sleep every night; 10 or more hours of sleep a night is suggested for athletes.

Most students attribute their difficulty of sleep to stress. The NSF also suggests to monitor factors and make adjustments as needed: avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol in the evening hours and avoid excessive use of media before you go to sleep.

Also, try to avoid using your bed for studying so your brain will associate your bed only for sleep. Be as productive as possible during the daily hours and free your nighttime for sleeping. Worrying about your GPA is not worth losing sleep over. contact Heidi Fuller at fullerhe@warhawks.ulm.edu

Team fishes for more wins, teammates Bass anglers making big splash for ULM

by Jaclyn Jones

After almost a year of preparation, ULM’s Bass Fishing Team is up and running.

With the team placing second at the Arkansas Tech University Invitational, they are already making a name for themselves.

Jake Ormond, an art major and president of the team, practices every chance he gets. With his yellow 125 horse power Express and his fishing rod intact, Ormond speeds down Bartholomew Lake, where he has fished since he was young.

“Finding the fish is the hardest part. So everyone goes to the same spot that they’ve caught a fish before,” Ormond said.

Ormond explained the creation of this first team. “I would see other college teams and wonder why we didn’t have one,

so I started talking about it to friends,” he said.

He continued, “It took a while for the team to get started though; it was really hard for us to find an advisor no one wanted to do it.”

After finding an advisor, they are now preparing for more tournaments.

“We have a club tournament once a month. It helps us get ready for regional tournaments.”

After just two hours of fishing, Ormond managed to catch 11 fish. “A tournament is very different from fishing for fun.

There are more boats on the water,” he said.

The team holds a meeting every Wednesday at 7 a.m., in Coliseum Room 31 for those interested in joining. contact Jaclyn Jones at jones2@warhawks.ulm.edu

Faculty, students getting adjusted to new system Administration says Banner is here to stay

by Nikeisha Mitchell

Banner replaced Arrow as the main operating and data system for ULM starting Fall 2010. The change from Arrow to Banner was not a welcomed one from students.

Grad student Constance Hall said, “I do not like the set up at all. It will definitely take some getting used to.”

Although the change was unwelcomed, it was necessary. According to ULM’s Department of Academic Affairs the company that provided services for Arrow chose to discontinue its support of the system.

Arrow would no longer be receiving updates and the university did not have the people or resources to update the system itself.

A search was completed by different departments, such as the Computing Center, in order to find a system that would best fit the needs of the University.

“Banner is a web-based system and it will take time for people to adapt,” said Eric Pani, Vice President of Academic Affairs.

“We’re all learning how to find things on the system it is a learning process,” he said.

Banner also makes it easier to get into the database and because information is stored, students no longer have to repeatedly put information into the system.

“Banner is just a different way of doing things. The key is investing time and learning where

to look for the information you need,” Pani said.

“Many people had the same feeling when the university switched from Blackboad to Moodle a few years ago but once everyone gets used to it they’ll see that its great,” he continued.

Different departments in-

cluding the Controller’s Office, the Registrar’s Office and the Computing Center have had to go many hours with no additional pay to get the system up and running properly for Fall.

Needless to say, Banner is here to stay.Nikeisha Mitchell at contact mitchena@warhawks.ulm.edu

NBC premieres ‘The Ev3nt’

‘Get Low’ only gets tedious

Tries to be the new ‘LOST’

by Zachary Keith Parker

Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray get top billing but it’s Robert Duvall as Felix Bush who makes the film worth watching.

Spacek’s character humanizes Bush, which leaves Murray, having mastered the delivery of dry humor, to play the cynical everyman who isn’t as interested as Bush in the manna of heaven. contact Zachary Keith Parker at parkerzk@warhawks.ulm.edu

The episode titled, “I Haven’t Told You Everything,� began with a 1:59p.m. title card. As soon as the clock strikes two, the scene cuts to people screaming and fleeing from a press conference called by the president.

The scene then cuts to a young man known as Sean Walker, played by Jason Ritter, on an airplane exhibiting nervous behavior.

Learned through flashback, he is in search of his girlfriend who suddenly disappeared.

We also learn, through more flashbacks, that 97 prisoners are housed in Alaska that could be extremely dangerous if released.

The episode relies on flash-

backs to the point of excess. “LOST� relied on flashbacks for exposition but this could prove detrimental to “The Ev3nt� as it becomes too confusing to be ac-

cessible to the audience.

However, the show displays a taut grasp of suspense, keeping the audience glued to the screen.

The episode’s biggest surprise comes when a hijacked plane intended to kill the president is surrounded by a bright light.

Then the plane disappears. “The Ev3nt� has the potential to become a great show if it doesn’t prolong the mystery behind the 97 prisoners for too long.

It should avoid the constant use of flashbacks, the removing and adding of Jenga blocks that if kept up, will collapse the show.

‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ has solid actors, weak director

by Zachary Keith Parker

Oliver Stone’s sequel to 1987’s “Wall Street� is more of the final installment in a trilogy of “W� movies that tackle definitive moments in the last decade including “World Trade Center� and “W.�

In “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,� Michael Douglas reprises his role as the now older and softer machiavellian Gordon Gekko.

While Shia LaBeouf ’s Jake Moore tries to capitalize on the growing “green energy� bubble, Stone makes a point to address the behind-the-curtain machinations that led to the government bailout of Wall Street.

The movie’s triumph is in making us dismiss greed because of the barrage of information we get in the experience, which parallels that of Jake as a young stock trader.

There’s an abundance of stock market jargon, combatant and witty tete-a-te between suits and multiple layers of betrayal.

Unfortunately, Stone undermines it all with a predictable narrative twist followed by the most schmaltzy of resolutions.

Like Gekko’s character, it’s all too soft to believe. contact Zachary Keith Parker at parkerzk@warhawks.ulm.edu

Stubbs restrooms get much-needed TLC

Sometimes you have to go, and other times you don’t want to

The restrooms on ULM campus you want to avoid

by Zachary Parker, Robbie Jones and Collette Keith

Some restrooms on ULM campus, more often the men’s than the ladies’ rooms, discourage use rather than provide a place for it.

These restrooms are usually the ones in the older buildings like Admin or Stubbs, the ones your parents and grandparents visited when the Indians, not Warhawks, were campus chiefs.

It’s easy to dismiss the state of the nearest restroom when rushing from one class to another.

But when someone else brings it up over lunch, you consider avoiding restrooms in buildings like Hanna or Garrett Hall.

If you’re desperate, you close

your eyes and hold your breath as you unzip.

You won’t find a “Beware of Dog” door sign on these restrooms. But you might as well visit the doghouse as you lift up the broken stall door to close it or turn the sink knobs and find neither soap dispensers nor mirrors where you expect them.

In the Stubbs’ ladies’ room, there’s a full body mirror on a wall that matches the floor’s pink tile. Check into the men’s room and take care not to slide across portions of yellow tile that’s darker than the rest.

It’s a sign of the times past you note, with cracked, defaced partitions that recall the last days of the Berlin Wall.

The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences recently finished a project changing toilet seats and toilet paper dispensers in Stubbs.

The dean, Dr. Jeffrey Cass, completed changes as an answer to requests by Communications faculty located in Stubbs.

“That was a reaction to a specific need... something more sustained and systemic, throughout the University, is beyond my purview and certainly my resources at this time,” Cass said.

We began our restroom inspection looking for the best restrooms on campus but we ended up finding the worst.

All the best restrooms looked the same: from the clean and hardly used on the upper floors of the ULM Library to the wellkept ones in the Student Union Building and the Hemphill Airway and Computer Science Building.

These newer buildings had larger and cleaner restrooms.

Usually, you can spot a janitor cart nearby regardless of the time of day. There might even be a resident janitor cart in the back of the restroom like the ones at the entrance of Biedenharn.

It’s not a lack of cleaning that made buildings like Admin, a central hub for current and incoming students, get a reputation on campus for its restrooms.

Sometimes people don’t flush and when you’re the first one to enter a restroom in the morning, you hope nothing stayed overnight. Especially if you’re a guy and you know there’s a row of four urinals in there.

The restrooms in Garrett Hall smell awful. But so does the rest of the building—the Biology department resides there and who knows what sort of creature they’re dissecting on any given day, not to mention the dead ones they keep for their students

to see.

It’s hard to see in the restrooms in Hanna Hall where the lights are cornered and dimmed.

There’s just enough light to squint at the graffiti, which predates social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

It’s no wonder handwriting on the stall walls became a means of crossing the urinal divide—in Hanna, you certainly can’t see the other guy.

Some restrooms, like the glorified outhouses by Brown Stadium’s Track and Field, are more like tests of your need.

Try to ignore the ceiling-towall cobwebs, the mysterious odors and the cockroach committee in the corner.

BCM poses questions, probes thoughts

by Brandy Heckford

Did Adam and Eve have a belly button?

Most people would consider this question strange, but to the leadership team of the Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM) the question is completely worth asking.

The Reach Committee, a branch of the leadership team of the BCM, has found a way to increase its presence on campus and getting students involved.

The BCM sets up every Thursday outside of the Student Union Building (SUB) and one Thursday a month outside of Starbucks. photo by: Robert Brown Their main mission for this semester The Baptist Collegiate Ministry at ULM to make their presence known by asking

seemingly random questions to students.

“We ask questions so we can build relationships with people on campus. We have seen many of the same people come back week after week to answer our new question,” said Jennifer Riley, a senior speech language pathology major.

The questions are silly in nature, but they are carefully chosen to probe students in spiritual thinking.

The BCM is not interested in proving if Adam did, in fact, have a belly button, but rather in posing a deeper question: why?

The BCM is trying to compel students in a non-invasive or offensive way to think about their spiritual beliefs.

Garrison Griffith, a sophomore mass communications major said, “I think it shows a different side of religious organizations. We are not all about throwing Bibles or Jesus at you.”

Jenny Street, Associate Director of the BCM, said, “Our theme this year for the BCM is ‘Make it Personal’, and I think the Reach team is doing just that by engaging students into conversation.”

To learn more out about the BCM visit their Facebook page, “ULM BCM.” The BCM also hosts dollar lunches on Wednesday of every week, starting at 12:01 p.m. contact Brandy Heckford at Heckfobe@warhawks.ulm.edu

The National Fire Prevention Week is observed in the United States and Canada, during the week that Oct. 9th falls, which is also designated Fire Service Recognition Day. In the United States, the observance began with a proclamation signed in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge.

The Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire. When President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the first National Fire Prevention Week on Oct. 4 - Oct. 10, 1925, he noted that in the previous year some 15,000 lives were lost to fire in the United States.

Coolidge’s proclamation stated: “This waste results from the conditions which justify a sense of shame and horror; for the greater part of it could and ought to be prevented... It is highly desirable that every effort be made to reform the conditions which have made possible so vast a destruction of the national wealth.�

Fire Service Recognition Day was first incorporated into the Governor-General’s proclamation of Fire Prevention Week in 1977.

Is fantasy football a real substitute to the NFL?

by Anthony Drummer

Football dominates the sports scene every fall, but sometimes the expense of going to live games, buying that special highdefinition television, or purchasing the umpteenth edition of Madden is too expensive to enjoy. Fantasy football is perfect for the person who does not want to pay $60 for a video game, but still wants to be part of the action.

The game is simple

Usually, fantasy football players draft NFL superstars to form a roster that will make up their team.

The real fun however, is battling week to week with your friends. In the NFL, the battle is on the field, while in fantasy football, the battle is on your computer. Players then get points based on how their NFL players perform from week to week.

Touchdowns, yards, interceptions, sacks, etc. add to a player’s score. Whoever has the most points in a week wins their match.

One week you could smash your opponent and in the next, you are wondering why your best player failed to get into the end zone. This frustration often leads fantasy players to trade members of their team to another opponent, or drop them off their roster entirely, which adds to the fun of the game.

Tailgating at the Grove great for ULM fans E\ -HUU\ &R[

Football season is back in Monroe, and that means the pregame festivities of good food and good eating is the norm.

The first home game of the season against Southeastern Louisiana on Sept. 25 brought out great fanfare, school spirit and the most important part, tailgating.

Everybody from the tailgating veterans to the rookies brought out their families as well as their grills and family recipes.

Alexandria natives John and Paul Wells are established veterans in the tailgating circle outside Malone Stadium for over 20 years, and continued their legacy with tailgating treats such as cooked deer, goose and beef ribeye skewers.

Charles Mock is a friend of the Wells’ and has cooked along with them from the start.

“We’ve been out here since about 1986, back then there was only about two families out here and we had to cook out over there [where the Natatorium is now],” said Mock.

Bubba Richardson is another veteran tailgater who provides great food at the Grove. His cubed deer meat surrounded by jalapeno and cream cheese wrapped in bacon is a hit with many people who come by visit his area.

However, tailgating is not only a time for food, it is a time for fellowship between friends.

Along with any college campus comes a great party.

Newcomer John Risinger, equipped with a recreational vehicle and a satellite dish, loves the pre-game scenery.

“The atmosphere is amazing, all the people, it’s just a great scene,” said Risinger. “The kids really enjoy it.”

Most of the ULM student organizations also have their own tents, including the Campus Activites Board, who gave out free food from Raising Cane’s to everybody, and the different fraternity organizations threw around the football in a game of catch.

Tailgating is back and in full force at ULM. FRQWDFW -HUU\ &R[ DW FR[MD#ZDUKDZNV XOP HGX

Chelimo finished with a time of 26:34.47, nearly a minute away from first place.

Denise Myers’ 19th place finish in the six kilometers paced the Warhawk women to seventh overall in the 12-team competition.

Myers finished with a time of 22:24.58, being less than two

minutes behind event winner, Julia Whitrock of Tulane University with a time of 20:53.40.

ULM will return to action on Friday when the Warhawks travel to Clinton, Miss., to compete in the Watson Ford Invitational.

Hawks edge Lions, fall to Tigers ULM defeats state rivals LQ ÀUVW PHHWLQJ in 25 years

by LaMar Gafford

ULM limited dual-threat Auburn quarterback Cam Newton’s legs with just one carry, unfortunately for the Warhawks, his right arm burned the team.

Newton threw a season-high 245 yards en route to No. 10 Auburn’s 52-3 blowout win against ULM on Saturday.

The junior transfer from Florida and Blinn College threw three touchdowns including a 94-yard pass to Emory Blake, the longest play from scrimmage in Auburn’s storied history.

“I was really confident going into that play,” Blake said. “I knew I was going to catch it and I knew there was no one around me, so I just caught it and ran into the end zone.”

Auburn’s (5-0) running game thrived also, thanks to 233 yards on 33 carries. On Auburn’s second play of the game, sophomore running back Onterio McCalebb broke free on a 50-yard run to start a streak of five straight scoring drives.

ULM’s (1-3) lone score came on a 35-yard field goal by Radi Jabour, but redshirt freshman Kolton Browning continued to show improvement in only his fourth game of his career.

The reigning two-time Louisiana Offensive Player of Week completed 25 of his 33 passes for 203 yards and did not throw an interception in the contest.

Unlike Newton, the Warhawk running game failed to compliment, earning a measly 38 yards on 33 carries. The Warhawks’ longest run was nine-yard

run from backup quarterback Cody Wells, and the longest play from scrimmage was 21 yards.

“We knew we were not going to be able to push their defensive front so I put a lot of emphasis on our passing game this week in practice,” Warhawk head coach Todd Berry said. “We have a young quarterback that continues to mature.

Most of the time we tried to get the ball out of

our hands quickly in order to make sure that the defensive line was negated. This worked at times and sometimes it did not.”

Auburn jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the game’s first five minutes, until Jabour’s field goal narrowed the deficit to 14-3. Following a Tiger field goal, ULM reached into its bag of tricks to attempt a fake goal.

However, Cody Wells’ errant pass was intercepted by Zac Etheridge and it led to a halftime score of 31-3 in Auburn’s favor.

The second half looked promising following Otis Peterson’s interception of Newton at ULM’s one-yard line, but the final four Warhawk drives ended with a fumble.

A u burn, given a short field each time, turned the miscues into three touchdowns and allowed Auburn to knock off ULM for the eighth straight time.

This loss to Auburn comes after a 21-20 victory against So u t h e a s t e r n Louisiana University on Sept. 25.

The Warhawks won the homeopener with young quarterback Kolton Browning throwing for 249 yards and juphoto by Srdjan nior wide receiver Marjanovic Anthony McCall catching eight passes for 69 yards.

The matchup between ULM and SLU was the first since the schools’ last meeting 25 years ago. Southeastern won that game by two points.

ULM will head back to Malone Stadium to play conference rival Florida Atlantic at 6 p.m. on Saturday. contact LaMar Gafford at JDIIRUOF#ZDUKDZNV XOP HGX
