Left: The Scripps Research Institute is a biomedical research firm based in California with labs on FAU’s Jupiter campus. According to Scripps’ website, researchers at Scripps Florida focus on basic biomedical research and drug discovery. As of January 2011, more than 400 faculty members and scientific, technical and administrative staff work at the 350,000-square-foot campus, which comprises three state-of-the-art research buildings. By 2014, the campus is expected to house more than 60 faculty and 550 total staff. For more info, go to scripps.edu/Florida.

FAU must raise big bucks by December or face losing a multimillion-dollar building Chris Persaud CirCulation Manager

AU is $2 million in debt this year and may not know what to do about it, according to a top official. The university owes Palm Beach County $2 million by Dec. 1. The payment is part of a $12 million debt the university has been paying each year since 2009. The county built a lab building on the Jupiter campus in 2005, and FAU promised to repay the county for it. FAU made the payment with state-granted money each fiscal year, but Gov. Rick Scott vetoed FAU’s request for this fiscal year. FAU’s fiscal year starts every July 1. “I don’t know what we’re going to do yet. We’ll think of something,” Senior Vice President for Financial Affairs Dennis Crudele told the UP in an interview last month. Crudele is in charge of managing FAU’s operating budget. The UP attempted to follow up with Crudele, but he was unavailable as of press time. No other person could speak in his stead, according to an FAU representative. FAU entered into an agreement with Palm Beach County and Scripps Research Institute in 2005. Scripps is a biomedical-research nonprofit based in California with labs on FAU’s Jupiter campus. The agreement, titled “Second Temporary Facility Funding Agreement,” said the county would spend $13 million building a laboratory building on the Jupiter campus. In exchange, FAU would repay $12 million to the county in $2 million yearly payments. The payments would start Dec. 1, 2009. Scripps scientists would use the building until FAU repaid its debt. After that, FAU would occupy it. FAU’s repayment would come out of Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) money the state usually grants it each fiscal year after FAU requests it. PECO funding usually goes to the construction and maintenance of new and old buildings, according to FAU Architect Tom Donaudy. At an Aug. 10, 2005, Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting, then-FAU Architect Robert Friedman said that FAU had the potential to save $7 million because of the deal. The BOT is in charge of deciding how the university’s money is spent.

FAU General Counsel David Kian added that while there’s no guarantee the state would give FAU future PECO funds, past PECO appropriations could be used to cover the debt repayment. Friedman and then-FAU President Frank Brogan backed Kian, and the BOT unanimously voted in favor of agreeing to the deal. However, in this year’s budget, Gov. Scott vetoed FAU’s PECO funding. Additionally, PECO money FAU already had was not used to pay the debt. It went to other projects while FAU continued requesting money from the state to pay off its debt. FAU made PECO requests of $2 million per year, according to FAU’s 2009-2010 and 20102011 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan and Legislative Budget Request. The purpose of that money was to repay the debt to the county. A Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan and

Legislative Budget Request is a list of PECO requests state universities make to the state for certain pojects over the next five years. Now that the state has cut off FAU, the university must make the payment using its own money. According to the agreement, if FAU can’t make the payment on time, it must make monthly payments on the rest of the debt with a 1.5-percent monthly interest rate. Right now, FAU still owes the county $8 million. If it misses this year’s payment, it must start making monthly payments of $168,166.67 (rounded up to the nearest penny). Currently, the state owns the property. The state leases it to the county, which subleases it to FAU. And if FAU can’t make its payment at all, the land goes back to the county, says the agreement. “We’re going to talk to the county to see if there’s any way to delay payment [until Dec. 31],”

Crudele said. “I feel confident FAU will keep their part of the agreement,” Assistant County Administrator Shannon LaRocque told the UP. She also noted she hadn’t heard about FAU’s debt repayment troubles until the UP told her. LaRocque is the county official who oversees the agreement. Scripps Director of Communications Mika Ono gave no indication that FAU’s missing a payment would affect Scripps or collaborations between Scripps and FAU. “I don’t have any information on the impact of a delayed payment,” she told the UP in an email. In addition, the building is no longer occupied by Scripps, but by the Max Planck Institute, which studies neuroscience, according to maxplanckflorida.org. Scripps will have a partnership with FAU’s medical school, Ono said. For more info, go to scripps.edu/florida.

lukewarm results Student Government promises to follow up on its broken promise

What students Want

among other things. He added that there will be monthly focus groups in the fall, with the usual free pizza and soda. The first will be in September. “This is not stuff we can do with a flip of a finger,” Bastidas said. “This is going to take students to go to administration with these issues and stand our ground on what we expect.” For more information on previous focus group complaints and suggestions, check out upressonline.com. PHOTOS BY CHRISTINE CAPOZZIELLO

ast semester, Student Government created focus groups to hear complaints and suggestions on how to improve FAU. Students told SG members they wanted more parking spaces, more academic advisers, Greek housing and better air conditioning, and a whole list of other things. SG members told students they would talk to administrators in June about how to get those things done. They didn’t. But with the first half of July over, Student Body President Ayden Maher said they have now spoken with administrators to address some of the complaints. Maher said he and Student Body Vice President Robert Huffman brought up focus group complaints to FAU President Mary Jane Saunders. “She told me that FAU is going to hire … six or seven more advisers,” he said. But the new advisers didn’t come at the request of SG — it was something the FAU administration was already doing. SG’s role is to be there on behalf of the students and make sure that administrators do what they set out to do, according to Maher. Dean of Undergraduate Studies Edward Pratt seconded Saunders, saying FAU hopes to hire four advisers in 2012, and four more in 2013. The university currently has 55 advisers. Maher also mentioned that Saunders told him there would be online advising starting this fall. Kristine Gobbo, assistant vice president for media relations, added that FAU will be launching an online degree audit system on their website before the end of July. The system will show students what courses they’ve taken, and what they need to take in order graduate. As with advising, the online system was already in the works before an SG member talked to administrators about it, according to Maher. Boca Raton House Speaker Boris Bastidas, one of the main organizers of the focus groups, said he has also talked with administrators about students’ complaints, specifically about Greek housing. Bastidas spoke with Terry Mena, associate dean of Student Affairs, who told him Greek housing will become a reality in five years. “If anyone thinks Greek housing is not happening, it is,” Bastidas said. Bastidas clarified that these meetings with Student Affairs administrators is the first step, and if they want to achieve results they also have to approach specific departments. Two departments Bastidas said SG will be speaking with are Facilities and Traffic and Parking. SG will talk to them about focus group complaints like fixing Breezeway leaks and lowering the price of a first-time parking citation,

In the spring, SG invited students to give ideas at focus groups on how to improve FAU. Students gave SG a list of suggestions and complaints they’d like to see SG leaders address. Here’s SG’s progress on some of those items. BUILDING GREEK HOUSING SG House Speaker Bastidas met with Associate Dean of Student Affairs Terry Mena and Vice President of Student Affairs Charles Brown. Bastidas said that administration does have plans for Greek housing, but they aren’t final. He said that Brown and Mena said there’s a good chance Greek housing will be funded by the university’s housing department, and subject to its rules. Bastidas added that there will be more meetings between SG, administration and Greek Life about this. IMPROVE CAMPUS SHUTTLE SYSTEM Students at previous focus groups said that the intra-campus shuttle took too long to get anywhere, or was too slow. Bastidas said that he will meet with Traffic and Parking about this. “Maybe down the road, we’ll provide funding,” he said. CHANGE PARKING TICKET SYSTEM Another complaint at previous focus groups was that parking citations were too expensive. Bastidas said he would like for either first-time parking citations to be lower, or just be a warning. He said students might get the chance to vote on this issue during the fall. “It doesn’t change the rules, but puts pressure on administration,” he said. Bastidas said he will meet with Traffic and Parking and the campus police department to discuss changing the citation system. MORE PARKING This was a common complaint at previous focus groups. Bastidas said he would “not try to do much about spaces because … as the university expands, there will be more spaces and parking lots.” At the first SG Focus Group, Bastidas said SG doesn’t have the money for another parking garage. LEAKY BREEZEWAY Bastidas said he will schedule a meeting with the Department of Facilities to discuss how to address this complaint. He said that Brown and Mena said Facilities had been putting off addressing this because of other projects like the new stadium and the new engineering building.

The half-truth and nothing but SPORTS

FAU’s football team made national headlines in the last month — once for staying out of trouble and once for failing classes. RYAN CORTES SPORTS EDITOR

ince June, FAU’s football team

found its way onto two lists. FAU bragged about being on one of them, proudly displaying a press release on the homepage of FAUsports.com and sending a campus-wide email: “Florida Atlantic University’s athletics department has been named by the Wall Street Journal as one of 17 universities to never have been sanctioned with a major violation,” the email read. “The publication examined 120 universities that were NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) members.” FAU never mentioned the second list it made. It’s called the NCAA Academic Progress Rate Database, and CBS Sports used that database to rank the top 10 and bottom 10 college football coaches in the country for the academic success of their students. FAU and its football coach Howard Schnellenberger were ranked as the ﬁfth-worst. THREE FAU PLAYERS TACKLE AN OPPOSING PLAYER UPRESSONLINE.COM

THE GOOD.

On July 1, FAU boasted that it was one of 17 schools since 2003 to have never been charged with a major violation. This was the good list. “Major violations are ones that you do, generally, errors of commission, meaning you’ve done something that involves intentional violation [of the rules],” Athletic Director Craig Angelos told the UP. Just over the past few years, schools like the University of Southern California and Ohio State University have been sanctioned with major violations. USC lost out on 20 scholarships and has a twoyear ban from postseason play stemming from a slew of allegations, including one about former player Reggie Bush. The 2005 Heisman Trophy winner was forced to give back his trophy after allegedly taking more than $290,000 in gifts while in school. Ohio State had ﬁve players suspended for selling championship rings, jerseys and awards, as well as receiving free tattoos. Their head coach, Jim Tressel, resigned after it was learned he knew his players had received improper beneﬁts and had not reported it. In the release, Angelos is credited with four cornerstones he has put in place to keep FAU out of trouble. One of the four is “academic excellence.” Ironic, because, the second list had so very little to do with “academic excellence.”

THE BAD.

According to the NCAA APR Database, FAU’s football program was one of 17 in the country to be penalized for a low APR score — for the ﬁfth year in a row, no less. The score conveys how well a student athlete is performing in the classroom. (See sidebar.) This was the bad list. There was no big press release plastered all over its website, no public mention, no one credited for “academic excellence.” If a university’s APR is below 925 it faces penalties from the NCAA. FAU scored a 920 this year, and lost three football scholarships because of it. In fact, since the NCAA began cutting scholarships for poor APRs in 2006, FAU has never surpassed the required 925, and has lost nine scholarships in that time. “We put out tons of releases on sports teams every day,” said Angelos. “It’s typical that we wouldn’t put out, and most schools don’t put out, anything they’re not especially proud of.” According to ESPN college football analyst Robert Smith, the athletic department’s showing just one side of its face, the good side, is something not uncommon. “I think all the schools are a little disingenuous,” Robert Smith, also a former NFL running back, said. “They all point to the best parts of their academic programs.” Being on the wrong side of the APR scores allows the NCAA to take scholarships away from FAU and forces the school to recruit players it can receive without

extending a scholarship to. “Either FAU is recruiting players that are academically not prepared for college or they aren’t providing them with the proper assistance (tutors, study halls, etc.) to succeed,” said Brett McMurphy, the reporter on the CBS Sports study. “Either way, it ain’t good.” With the NCAA taking away scholarships for low APR scores, some schools may be losing out on good talent. Redshirt junior Demetrius Williamson said he received between 20 and 25 scholarship offers before taking FAU’s offer. Without it, would he have come to Boca? “Oh, no,” said Williamson. “Deﬁnitely not. I would have went somewhere that offered to pay for me to go to school for free.” The loss of scholarships due to poor APR scores has forced FAU to ﬁnd players it can sign without scholarships. In other words, not the elite level of talent available. “There’s no excuse for that,” said Angelos. “It hurts us all, including football because they do lose scholarships. Now, they have 85 scholarships, but they are losing a couple scholarships every year, so you don’t ever want to see that.”

The Ugly.

To be great in college football, a team will always be in trouble — that’s the common thought, anyway. “That would be the conventional wisdom, that you’re just bringing in kids that aren’t going to try very hard in school but are still going to go out and perform,” said ESPN college football analyst Robert Smith. The UP crunched the numbers and found out that teams whose athletes score well in the classroom actually have a higher chance of scoring on the field. Last month, CBS Sports looked at the Academic Progress Rates (APRs) of various colleges from 2003 to 2009. An APR score indicates how well student athletes are doing in the classroom. The teams of the top-10-APR-scored coaches went 240-150 (61-percent winning percentage) over the last three years. The teams of the bottom10-APR-scored coaches went 125-240 (34-percent winning percentage in that span. FAU’s Howard Schnellenberger resides on the bottom-10 list as the

The teams in the bottom-10 list made just five Bowl Games out of a potential 30. “I think it’s an interesting relationship,” said Smith. “You would think the schools that struggled a little bit more academically might do better.” The UP told Athletic Director Craig Angelos the records over the last three years of both the top 10 APR-rated coaches and the bottom 10 and asked if there was a connection between the scores and results on the field. “Well ...” said Angelos before pausing for a few moments. “I thought that might be the case.”

Punk up the town FEATURE

MARK GIBSON FEATURES EDITOR In the thick of the summer heat the Vans Warped Tour will once again storm Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on July 30, bringing new and seasoned bands alike to perform in one place. Last year saw a plethora of older bands like Sum 41, Reel Big Fish, and Face to Face hitting the road with the tour after years of doing their own headliners. This year, it’s a little more of the same as groups like Pepper, The Expendables, Relient K, and Simple Plan are on the tour for the entire summer. “There’s a whole lineup out there that [older fans] might enjoy,” said Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman in an interview with Billboard.com. “They’ll be like, ‘Wow, Warped Tour might be for me this year.’” Simple Plan hasn’t been on the tour in six years, but they are making a comeback attempt with their new album Get Your Heart On!, which was released

in June and features collaborations with artists like Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, and Natasha Bedingfield. Warped Tour veterans Less than Jake will be one of the headlining bands alongside groups like A Day to Remember, Paramore, and 3OH!3. But if there is one thing the Warped Tour is known for the most, it’s the unforgiving heat and tightly packed crowds. By the end of the summer, an estimated 580,000 people will have attended the show. “I think you need to have that experience of sweating your ass off,” said Lyman. “And the social experience you’ll never replace. You’ll never replace music.” With so many bands playing at the same time on different stages, it’s impossible to see every single one. So to help you narrow down the list of mustsee bands, here are the UP’s seven Warped Tour newbie bands worth a listen:

Abandon All Ships Hardcore Straight out of Toronto, Ontario this hardcore band features a mix of nu-metal riffs and electronic breakdowns similar to those of headline band Attack Attack! What makes Abandon All Ships stand out is their heavy use of Auto-Tune vocals and Euro dance beats. AAS will be playing on the Advent Clothing Stage.

Electric Touch Alternative, pop Hailing from Austin, Texas, Electric Touch is a laid-back band with a similar sound to bands like The Killers and Kings of Leon. They are the perfect band to take a relaxing break from the heart-pounding metal music and enjoy some catchy alternative rock. Electric Touch will be playing on the Kia Kevin Says Stage. PHOTO BY LIZ DZURO

Terrible Things Rock, modern rock This is a pop rock band from West Chester, Penn., composed of members from the bands Taking Back Sunday, and Coheed and Cambria. The band’s 2010 debut album appeared at No. 25 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. You can catch Sum 41 lead singer, Deryck Whibley waves to fans while on stage at Warped Tour last year.

Terrible Things playing on the Ernie Ball Stage.

Seven newbie bands worth seeing at the 2011 Warped Tour The Exposed Punk, ska Streetlight Manifesto won’t be making an appearance on the tour this year. So instead, you can get your ska fix with The Exposed, a punk rock ska band straight from England. According to their profile on the Warped Tour website, The Exposed are known as one of the most energetic live bands in the UK. What this means for you: lots of sweat. You can catch them playing on the Kia Kevin Says Stage.

Big Chocolate Electro, dubstep It’s not new to introduce an electro-based band on the tour, but having a dubstep DJ perform is a first. Big Chocolate has toured alongside nu-metal bands like In Fear and Faith and has even remixed songs for bands such as Asking Alexandria and Suicide Silence. If you’ve never listened to dubstep, it can be just as intense as a hardcore band. This is a performance you won’t want to pass up. You can see Big Chocolate spin on the Skullcandy Stage. (Ironic?)

The Menzingers Punk, rock Not too many punk bands are known for coming out of Scranton, Penn., but The Menzingers are among the few. In 2010 Alternative Press magazine labeled them one of the “Bands You Need to Know.” The Menzingers are more than just a punk band, as they mix sounds of punk, hardcore and even folk. You can see the Menzingers on the Kia Kevin Says Stage.

Larry and His Flask Folk punk, bluegrass Formed in 2003 in Oregon, Larry and His Flask is a unique addition to the Warped lineup. Mixing folk and bluegrass with a punk sound makes their music fun and crowd-surfworthy. There aren’t many chances to mosh at a bluegrass concert, so this is definitely a band you don’t want to miss. You can catch Larry and His Flask jamming out on the Ernie Ball Stage. JULY 19, 2011 13

NELSON SEARCY

Lead Pastor, The Journey NS@BocaJourney.com

The Journey is not your typical church... You will have a great opportunity to meet people like you, have a genuinely fun and meaningful time at church and grow spiritually in your life. Don't worry, you will find a welcoming environment and the dress is casual, so come as you are. The teaching will be relevant to your life, the music will be rockin', and your kids will have a fun learning experience at Journey Kidz. I hope to see you THIS SUNDAY @ THE JOURNEY!

P.S. I would love to send you a FREE GIFT. Go to www.BocaJourney.com to receive a free copy of the New York Times best-seller, The Purpose- Driven Life.
