Engineers recruit local talent BY TAVIN STUCKI news editor

USU’s engineering program is loaded with male students, something evident to the Society of Women Engineers. Saturday, SWE hosted an outreach event for high school girls in the Engineering Building in an attempt to reverse that trend. According to enrollment numbers from the Fall 2012 semester, approxi-� mately 10 percent of all of USU’s 1,982 undergradu-� ate students in the College of Engineering are female. Women make up about 15 percent of all USU 413 graduate engineering students, which offers a doctorate degree in engi-� neering education. “The percentage of women in engineering is relatively small,� said Gilberto Urroz, an asso-� ciate civil engineering professor. “These types of programs are good to increase the appeal of prospective students and entice women into engi-� neering.� Professor Chris Hailey, associate dean in the College of Engineering, said eventually she wants to see women comprise at least 50 percent of all engi-� neering students at USU. “In the country, there’s a shortage of engineers,� she said. “Engineers make a world of difference, wheth-� er it’s in the area of health or environment or energy or national security. All of those areas require tech-� nological solutions. They require engineers.� Isabello Muffoletto, a senior from Logan High School who attended SWE’s Engineering Extravaganza, described the stigma. “Personally, I don’t know any girls that would feel comfortable going into engineering,� Muffoletto said. “They don’t think they’re smart enough or that it’s a man’s field.� Hailey said she thinks one reason the female pop-� ulation isn’t participating in the discipline is because the College of Engineering doesn’t do a good enough job letting high school students know the impor-� tance of the profession. “By the time kids get to college, they’re no longer thinking about engineer-� ing because they never

Underage drinking on USU’s dry campus

BY PAUL CHRISTIANSEN staff writer

It’s no secret USU had problems with on-�campus alcohol use in the past. Being a “dry� campus, university policy doesn’t allow any sort of alcoholic beverage on cam-� pus at any time. But that isn’t to say problems don’t occur. In fact, the largest part of liquor law viola-� tions in the USU community involve under-� age students. “It makes sense, given the demographic,� said Capt. Steven Milne of the USU Police Department. “Kids come to college for four or five years. They start at the age of 18 and three of those years are under the legal drinking age. A lot of the arrests that we make are in on-�campus housing locations.� The number of arrests for liquor law vio-� lations has increased slightly from the 50 arrests made in 2011. In 2012, USU police made 58 alcohol-�related arrests. “If you’re underage and we find you, you’ll be cited. That’s a criminal matter,� Milne said. “If you’re of legal age and you’re found to have alcohol on campus, that’s a housing policy violation and more of a civil violation. What we do at that point is seize the alcohol and write a report. A copy of that report goes to housing and they’ll follow up with the individual and take the proper action.� USU POLICE made 58 alcohol-related arrests in 2012, up eight from 2011.

Seven students temporarily evacuated to University Inn

BY TMERA BRADLEY news senior writer

Water poured down from the ceiling in Tyler Christianson’s apartment around 6:40 a.m. Thursday. His room in the Living Learning Community on cam-� pus was filling with water. “I was still asleep,� said Christianson, a freshman majoring in mechanical engi-� neering. “There was a big crashing sound. I thought, ‘Wow my alarm sounds really

loud.’� Christianson said at first he thought it was just a broken sprinkler. “After I saw water coming out of the light fixtures, I real-� ized what was actually happen-� ing.� Executive director of housing Steve Jensen said the flooding was called by a broken pipe. “Water ran for 20 min-� utes, and it’s a big pipe,� Christianson said. “It was a lot

Cadaver chili wins Ag cookoff BY STEVE KENT editor in chief

The annual College of Agriculture Chili Cookoff marked its sixth year with a new location and a new award Saturday in the Junction. Melanie Wilson, an Ag Ambassador and a junior studying nutrition science, coordinated the event. The Chili Cookoff’s main purpose is to bring members of the agricultural community and the college together, she said. “It’s to remind people of what we are and to get people involved,� Wilson said. “It’s something that’s really tra-� ditional, too, like everybody has their recipe and they love their chili.� This year, the judges gave an award in a new category: the Best Department. The trophy — a slow-�cooker spray-�painted gold — went to Michael Bishop, an academic and student services coordi-� nator. Bishop represented the School of Veterinary Sciences with his entry, “Cadaver-�ili.� Next to his slow-�cooker, a piece of paper listed humor-� ous ingredients, correspond-� ing with ingredients actually used, including “goiters,� “intestines� and “lymph nodes� as bell peppers, stewed tomatoes and garlic. “Don’t be thinking those don’t add flavor,� Bishop said. “Those add a lot of flavor. I went with the weaker recipe. The general public — it’s a

USU Fee Board to propose new exspenses Band, theater, Blue Bikes fees on the increase list ADDISON M.T. HALL staff writer

The USU Fee Board has met twice in recent weeks and as Thursday’s final meeting approaches, four MEG CAMPBELL groups are doing their best to gain support for their

respective fee increases. The music and theatre department, Aggie Health and Wellness, Aggie Blue Bikes and the Campus Recreation department are the four main groups asking for an increase. Meg Campbell, student representative of the music and theatre department, said the extra fees would help the band grow and get the department much-� needed upgrades. She said the total the department is asking for is $4 with $1.50 going to the marching and pep bands and the rest going to the department as a whole. Campbell said the fees for the band would allow

them to purchase more music to play during shows, to hire a field coordinator to help with formations and to increase the size of the band. In order to do this, Campbell said the department would give sti-� pends and additional scholarships to the band mem-� bers. “For a lot of people, the band’s a big time commit-� ment,� Campbell said, explaining the need for better band benefits. She said the money would help the band recruit

DRINKING: Illegal alcohol a part of college life From page 1 In cases of underage drink-� ing and on-�campus viola-� tions, campus police work closely with the Student Health and Wellness Center and the Housing and Residence Life department. Efforts by these USU agen-� cies are meant to benefit students by helping them recognize their behavior affects not only them, but others as well. “If we talk to these students in question and teach them about the impact on their health, it lets them know that we are concerned for their health and well-�being,� said Whitney Milligan, director of Residence Life. “Maybe they keep their roommates awake with loud and disrup-� tive behavior or maybe their friends get worried because they come home drunk and sick. There are people around who are affected and who worry about them.� Underage students caught with alcohol are auto-� matically referred to Ryan Barfuss, the Prevention Specialist at the wellness center. At that point, they are put through a series of questionnaires to gauge the level of their drinking behaviors. This process helps to identify if the stu-� dent suffers from any drink-� ing behaviors and tenden-� cies that could be dangerous to them or others.

UNDERAGE DRINKING AT USU has been a concern for the USU Police Department. Though USU is a campus where alcohol is not legally allowed, some students take extra precautions while flaunting alcohol laws. MICKELLE YEATES photo illustration

“We give the student an assessment to figure out if they have serious issues with alcohol use or if it’s just a one-�time deal when they got caught,� Barfuss said. “The assessment gives me an idea of what will work best for the student and if they need educational classes or one-�on-�one counseling. Sometimes the individual might need treatment.�

“

I know when to stop and I know

what my limit is, but I feel that a lot of the people I partied with didn’t.�

Often times, depending on the court ruling, students are mandated by either the university or a judge to com-� plete a series of educational classes. “The students will go through a four-�week class consisting of about eight hours of classroom educa-� tion,� Barfuss said. “But it’s much more than talk-� ing about abstinence and saying ‘OK, you’re 18, you can’t drink.’ Instead of that approach, we talk about specific guidelines and skills they can use right now and also when they turn 21 to keep them at low-�risk of having health problems. They’ll learn guidelines with drinking. They’ll learn what tolerance level and trigger level are. They learn what a standard drink is. They’ll

learn about family history and how that ties in and has an impact. It’s meant to ben-� efit the student rather than chastise them.� Barfuss said students who take the alcohol education classes also learn how to look for and properly identi-� fy symptoms of alcohol poi-� soning, one of the primary problems affecting underage drinkers. “I know that underage drinking is taken very seriously in Utah, espe-� cially in Logan,� said USU sophomore Manda Perkins. “There were times last year when my roommate would get really sick from drinking and that was always really sketchy. I know when to stop and I know what my limit is but I feel that a lot of the people I partied with didn’t

know what their limit was. My roommate would be puking and I’d be stressed that she had alcohol poison-� ing.� Census data gathered by USU in 2011 shows 77 per-� cent of students have never used alcohol while 23 per-� cent use it casually or regu-� larly. These numbers reflect an almost complete opposite of national numbers with those who use alcohol poll-� ing at more than 70 percent. Milne, Barfuss and Milligan all agreed students most likely to take part in underage drinking are incoming freshmen. “I’ve been sober since halfway through last semes-� ter,� Perkins said. “I stopped partying because it wasn’t the lifestyle I wanted any-� more, but freshman year I

did quite a bit. There was one night last year when I lived in Richards Hall when I’d been smoking and drink-� ing. I was really cross-�faded and I remember laying in my bed feeling like I was having a heart attack, but I couldn’t tell anyone because if they knew I could have gotten in serious trouble.� Students who participate in alcohol consumption while in on-�campus housing often take extra precautions to avoid getting caught. “Most of the drinking I did on campus we had to be quiet about,� Perkins said. “We’d have a bunch of us in someone’s room. If anyone got out of hand or too loud we’d kick them out. We tried to be smart about it but to be honest, I guess there’s nothing really smart about underage drinking.� The Student Health and Wellness Center encour-� ages students who think they might have an alcohol-� related problem to come in at any time. “There are tons of resources here,� Barfuss said. “We have pamphlets, books and videos on alcohol that students can get from us. We’re here to help and students can come to us at any time and we’ll do every-� thing we can for them.� The goal of the university and the agencies therein is to help students to progress and grow as individuals. “It’s our goal to make students successful, well-� rounded human beings,� Milligan said. “You learn your academic things in the classroom but you learn how to interact with other people, how to communicate and how to take responsibil-� ity living in your commu-� nity.�

Interior designer Volpe shares successes BY JERA WOOD staff writer

Steven Volpe, rated a top-�100 interior designer by Architectural Digest, has traveled to many places such as Paris, London and Italy. This week, Volpe traveled to Utah for the first time, speaking to 17 third-�year interior design students at USU on Thursday. “I was intrigued when I saw the list of prior speakers,� Volpe said. “It made me want to find out about what the school was doing.� Prior to his speech Volpe spent several hours with the interior design students. A month ago, these students received a hypothetical project from Steven Volpe Design. Their projects, which were displayed on a screen before Volpe’s speech began, were cri-� tiqued by Volpe on Thursday. “Discussing their work that they were presenting, that was really ful-� filling,� Volpe said. Volpe spoke in the Performance Hall about some of the projects his company, Steven Volpe Design, has overseen. “I just thought it was really cool that

someone that famous would actually come here,� said Trent Yeates, a fresh-� man majoring in pre-�interior design. “It’s nice to have the interactions. I mean Utah’s pretty small, so knowing people that famous, I guess, is just really powerful.� Volpes speech was one of many events celebrating Arts Week. The Arts and Design department head, Laura Gelfand, introduced Volpe to the audience. “Stevens finely-�tuned eye is the result of his work with several accom-� plished designers,� Gelfand said. Volpe said such designers helped to inspire his projects. “I think it’s really important to have inspiration, because you need to grow from something,� Volpe said Following Volpe’s speech there was a reception in the lobby of the Performance Hall where students spoke with Volpe one on one. “I guess it’s cool to me that I can come see someone like this,� Yeates said. “I can learn from them when I’m just nobody right now, but hopefully I can become someone like him.�

FEE BOARD: Final decision meeting set From page 1 more members for the pep band too and could help form a total of three small pep bands, each with its own style. Campbell said the other $2.50 would go to the production department to offset the cost of students going to shows for free and toward buying better equip-� ment for the theatre that she said was “many years outdated.� “We have so many pieces of equipment that are outdated in all of our facilities that we can’t keep up financially,� Campbell said. “We actually have people come to us saying that they want to perform on our stage but by the time we have rent all of the equipment to put on their show it’s too expensive and they go to the Eccles.� She also said the level of theatre education was hindered because of poor equipment. “Our students are being taught

on old equipment,� Campbell said. “They’re going out into the world having practiced on tech boards and on stages that are far outdated.� The fee is proposed to be ongo-� ing in order to replace all equip-� ment over the course of several years and to continue replacing old equipment as it’s seven-�year lifespan ends. Zach Portman of ASUSU and James Davis, the director of the Student Health and Wellness Center, are helping the wellness center petition for a 50 cents increase in fees to fund better psychiatric care. “It would generate an esti-� mated $15,000 a year in revenues that would go toward support-� ing more psychiatric hours on campus,� Portman said. “There’s already psychiatric services offered through the health center and they’re really overloaded so this is proposing to contract out more hours for that.�

According to the proposal document, psychiatric service requests have increased by 45 per-� cent since 2011 and any patients who wish to see the psychiatrist have to schedule one to two weeks in advance. The document reads that either more clinical hours for Dr. Kenneth Merrell, the current pro-� vider, will be bought or an addi-� tional doctor will be provided. The third petition is from Aggie Blue Bikes asking for $1.75. Elizabeth Kirkham, the student representative for ABB, said the group is losing a good portion of their money this year. “They’ve been funded a lot on Americorps grants up to this point,� Kirkham said. “A lot of those are ending this year.� Kirkham said they would have to cut bike repair staff down from six to three people if the petition didn’t pass, making it harder for them to be effective in helping students.

Kirkham said another reason they need the money is to pur-� chase more storage room for their bikes and hire a shop manager to train staff members how to fix bikes and run the shop so the program coordinator, who had been doing this, could focus more on paperwork. The last petition brought before the fee board is for Campus Recreation, which is asking for $5.00 in order to hire an assistant director of facilities operations and an IT systems spe-� cialist. According to the campus rec-� reation fee proposal, the assistant facilities manager will be placed in charge of overseeing all recre-� ational facilities at USU including the new Aggie Life and Wellness Center. The systems specialist will oversee all campus recreation computers and software in the new life and wellness center. – addison.m.t.hall@gmail.com

FLOOD: LLC male apartment not yet livable From page 1 of water.� Jensen said the USU Police Department responded first, followed by the on-�call mainte-� nance crew. “We take safety very seriously on campus,� Jensen said. “We do our best to take care of our resi-� dents.� The main flooding happened in Christianson’s bedroom, but Jensen said the whole suite on the first floor of building C was affected. “We put some towels up so it

wouldn’t go into our room,� said sophomore Austin Spence, who lives in the affected suite. He said the damage wasn’t as bad in his room. Christianson said they evacu-� ated the building and and took all of his belongings in the study area. “I ended up going to physics recitation in just sweats and a coat,� Christianson said. The seven residents in the suite were moved to the University Inn while the apart-� ment is being repaired. All of the students returned to their rooms

Monday except Christianson, who will move back in at the end of the week. Christianson said they com-� pletely ripped out the ceiling in his room. It is also getting new carpet and paint. Jensen said the repair costs are covered by the university’s insur-� ance. The pipe cracked when the frozen water expanded. When it thawed, the water came gushing through the pipe, Jensen said. “It was an error in the con-� struction,� Jensen said. “Because it was up above the insulation in the attic, it froze.�

Jensen said this is the coldest winter Logan has had since the buildings were constructed, and that’s why the problem hasn’t surfaced before. He said the sprinkler line had to be rerouted through all of the buildings of the LLC. “It was a pretty involved pro-� cess, but it should never happen again,� Jensen said. – tmera.bradley@aggiemail.usu. edu Twitter: @tmerabradley

In an attempt to win over the girls in attendance, cur-� rent Aggie engineers gave presentations at workshops highlighting the six depart-� ments within the College of Engineering with experiments ranging from testing the girls’ hair strength to discussing space shuttle launches. Urroz headed a workshop which taught recruits the effects of cavitation, a phe-� nomena in hydraulics that can severely damage water pipes. “We actually had an old cas-� ing of a valve that was heavily damaged by cavitation,� Urroz said. “I showed them one dem-� onstration that they can see, actually, the cavitation occur-� ring and then show them what the effect is.� Urroz said the recruits responded very well to the labs. “They were very engaged,� he said. “They were taking notes and taking measure-� ments and interested in how to run the equipment.� Muffoletto said she enjoyed the workshops. “I just like how it’s kind of big and upcoming with a lot of problem solving, which I like,� Muffoletto said. “It’s kind of like futuristic.� Of the 34 who registered for the event, Hasbun said 28 high school girls attended Saturday’s all-�day activities, compared to eight participants for 2012’s evening-�only open

house. Indhira Hasbun, SWE’s vice president of corporate affairs who is also a graduate student studying environmental engi-� neering, said girls just need to give engineering a chance. “Give it a try,� Hasbun said. “Even if they don’t know what engineering is, that’s what the whole event is about. They can get to know what it is.� While the spike in recruit-� ing priority comes months after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-�day Saints changed official policy on age requirements for female mis-� sionaries from 21 years of age to 19, Urroz said recruiting female engineers has always been important.

“I think we’re going to be affected as bad as the univer-� sity,� Urroz said. “We’re going to see a drop in the number of students in the next couple of years.� But that’s short term. “Then I expect a shock wave as everybody comes back,� Hailey said, though she expects enrollment to stabilize in six or seven years. “I know within the Society of Women Engineers, we lose a couple really capable leaders who as soon as they heard they could go on church missions said of course they wanted to.� Either way, Urroz said there is still a need for engineers. “There is a high demand for people in science and engi-�

neering coming up,� Urroz said. “We want to get the stu-� dents engaged in their inter-� ests in engineering and science at a younger age so they can start taking the proper classes they need to be successful in their college studies.� Urroz hopes recruiting early will be the key to open-� ing career opportunities for women in engineering fields. “I think there’s a great opportunity for women in engineering and science,� Urroz said. – tavin.stucki@aggiemail.usu. edu Twitter: @StuckiAggies

CHILI: Morbid joke takes Ag cookoff department honors From page 1 little strong for them.� Though making chili from the joke ingre-� dients is technically possible, Bishop said, he doesn’t think anyone would like it. The actual recipe is a family favorite from his mother, he said. “It is the only family chili,� Bishop said. “We like it so well, we don’t make any other.� The Best Department award was created to stir up participation and competition within the College of Agriculture, Wilson said. Wilson said in the past, the event was held in the Living Learning Community, but construction forced coordinators to consider other venues. The Junction is a better fit, she added, because it’s already set up for food

service and Junction management was very helpful. The panel of judges included Joyce Albrecht, wife of USU President Stan Albrecht. “She does this every year, actually,� Wilson said regarding Albrecht’s participation. “She’s really excited about it. She’s our most regular one.� Every year, coordinators pick a charity and donate the cookoff’s proceeds, Wilson said. This year, they chose the Cache Community Food Pantry, which is raising funds to pay off a newly constructed building. Donald Donaldson, an executive chef with dining service, judged chili and helped with services in the Junction. Donaldson said the

event went well and he looks forward to par-� ticipating in years to come. “We had a full dining room,� Donaldson said. “There were many, many chilis to be tasted tonight. I think it was an overall suc-� cess.� Donaldson said he enjoyed judging the competition and was surprised by the variety in the recipes. Despite the variety, he liked them all, he said. “I discovered that there are no bad chilis,� Donaldson said. “There are just chilis that I don’t like as much as others. There wasn’t a bad chili tonight.� – steve.kent@aggiemail.usu.edu Twitter: @StevenDKent

Fast feet find a home at Whittier Center

ABI NEWHOUSE staff writer

Logan may be quiet many nights, but on Tuesdays and Fridays, the walls of the Whittier Community Center bounce with any number of differ-� ent kinds of music: coun-� try, samba and dance, to name a few. Erica Colvin set up the Free Style Dance Company as one of the tenants in the Whittier Center in 2010. She said she didn’t expect it to be as successful as it is now. She teaches salsa, ballroom, and country-� western classes and has six dance teams of all ages. She likes teaching salsa and country-�western because she said they have a lot of the same moves and styles. When Colvin went to BYU-�Idaho and majored in writing, she found it was dance she really wanted to pursue. She moved to Logan and didn’t like it at first, but said leaving would mean she would have to go all the way to Salt Lake City to dance. “I decided while I was here, I might as well start some dance classes and

then it just kind of grew from there. Now it’s a really busy job,� she said. She said she knew com-� ing to a college town would open up some great oppor-� tunities. “I’ve just fallen in love with the community and all the university students that come are just so fun and so kind,� she said. Colvin started out by herself, but ended up meeting her business part-� ner, Justin Bayles while they were at a country swing night. “He’s fantastic,� she said. “He’s more of the business mind of it and then I’m the one with the dance experi-� ence.� She also has dance partners. Her partner for the country classes is Sam Steffanic. Steffanic said they country-�danced together at the Cache Fun Park a couple times, and at first he was a little intimi-� dated by Colvin because she was such a graceful dancer. She approached him one day and asked him to help her out with the country swing moves. “Not to toot my own horn, but she figures I was the best one out there,� he said. “In one class I’m actu-�

ally on the team, as well as instructing.� Dance night has its own disk jockey, USU gradu-� ate Trevor Knudsen. He was approached when he started going to the dance nights because he knew Colvin and Bayles. Bayles knew Trevor owned big speakers and asked him to help out. He said he mostly plays the music for the salsa nights and also helps out with some of the cen-� ter’s events. “It took me awhile to know the music because it’s a whole different vari-� ety that I hadn’t listened to before,� he said. Salsa nights are on Tuesdays. Dancing starts at 9 p.m., and the first hour is instruction. Afterwards, it’s open dance until midnight. Knudsen said he likes that the dancing is at night because it doesn’t interfere with other college classes and clubs students are usually busy with. He said it’s cool to see college kids come and catch the danc-� ing bug and want to keep coming back to learn and have fun. Although it seems like this is a big college spot, people from all ages come.

Knudsen said older couples will come for date nights, and he hopes the company can branch out to anyone who wants to come. The group is trying to find separate nights for certain age groups to attract all

sorts of crowds, he said. He said he’s excited about the positive response in the community and he thinks the nights will con-� tinue to grow. “It’s a lot of fun,� he said. “It’s cool because peo-�

ple that go there are there to have a good time. If you go there with a mind will-� ing to learn, you’ll have a fantastic time.�

A few USU alumni, including Chad Fish from the Space Dynamics Lab, were in Antarctica from Dec. 7 to Jan. 11 as part of a team researching space science at the Amundsen– Scott South Pole Station. “Since about 2005, scientists have been look-� ing simultaneously at both hemispheres from the high latitude in Antarctica to watch the electrodynamic interac-� tions that occur between the solar wind and the earth’s dynamic field that couple down to the ionosphere,� said Robert Clauer, the project’s lead scientist. These scientists are working to understand space weather from the south pole. Clauer put in a proposal to the National Science foundation, and once he won the pro-� posal he was given a $2.39 million grant to begin research.

“Chad was very help-� ful,� said Hyomin Kim, a post-�doctoral scientist from Virginia Tech. “He is a great worker and a great engineer. First of all he is very physically strong, and we have all these sci-� entists and physicists and

engineers that go down, but 90 percent of what we do is actually manual labor: snow shoveling, heavy lifting, moving things around.� The plan is to have six stations up and run-� ning within the next

three years along the 40 degree magnetic meridian to mirror the magnetic meridian in the Northern Hemisphere where researchers already have magnetometers along the coast of Greenland. Once they have a similar chain

REGARDLESS OF HOW characters and events change, Ninja Theory stays faithful to the heart and soul of the “Devil May Cry” series with this reimagining. MCT photo

‘Devil May Cry’ worth a try Sam McConkie “ Devil

May Cry” Grade: B

Game

Review Game develop ers should be wary of angering their fan base. Companies can be made or broken based off word of mouth from their customers. The release of “ET” for the Atari 2600 nearly crippled the industry back in the 1980s and people abandoned Sega in droves after the shortcomings of the Saturn. Give the gamers what they want and nobody will get hurt. OK, so maybe Capcom’s reboot of “Devil May Cry” won’t garner as much antipathy and agony as the previous examples showed, but the idea is similar: Messing with a successful formula in any way can seriously come back to hurt you later. Capcom, in conjunction with Ninja Theory, abandons some of the styles the previous entries had while maintaining the addictive combat system. While it’s certainly entertaining, “DmC: Devil May Cry” may seriously alienate longtime fans of the series. Dante no longer has white hair and his bad attitude has become downright unlikable at times. Not to mention some of the other characters from previous games are missing in action completely. Did I mention the game is sometimes in shockingly poor taste? Demons are in control of everything. The angry, obese demon leader named Mundus controls much of the world through debt and has a monopoly on the media. “Virility,” his energy drink for the masses, keeps them docile and weak. Hope is virtually gone, and the world as we know it seems destined to decay and regress per-

manently while Mundus becomes ever more powerful. Enter Dante: the foulmouthed, cantankerous punk who is the son of a demon father and angel mother. After his trailer is trashed by a Hunter demon, Dante meets the mysterious and intelligent Kat. She helps him escape “Limbo”— think alternate universe or plane of existence similar to hell, a running theme in the game — and tells him that only he can rise up and fight against the demons due to his origin. Dante is then wholly apathetic to learn Kat is a member of the Order, an underground movement to fight Mundus. He then grows interested when he meets Vergil, the strangely familiar being who may know something about Dante’s past and who he actually is. Going forward, all three agree to fight and liberate mankind from the demonic threat so all can live in peace. First, the good news. The combat is as exhilarating and addictive as ever. It’s possible to string together massive combos with the classic Rebellion sword and Dante’s pistols, Ebony and Ivory. Or, you can go for straight-up damage with the hefty Arbiter war-hammer. Other weapons can be unlocked later and each has their own respective strengths and quirks, so variety is definitely not an issue. There are probably at least a dozen different enemy types, so difficulty can vary from easy to brutally tough. The pistols are great for slowing down smaller foes such as Pathos and Harpies, but they are practically worthless on the fatter, more substantive creatures like the Tyrants and Butchers, and those Witches have a nasty habit of sustaining too many hits. The controls are surprisingly intuitive and fun to learn. There is no blocking function, but Dante can evade attacks with ease. The “demon pull” and “angel lift” functions also allow you to physically manipu-

late the environment or take advantage of what it offers you to progress through levels in different ways. Overall, the game handles smoothly and the camera only occasionally spoils the journey. Now for some bad news. “DmC: Devil May Cry” is somewhat hampered by an inconsistent presentation. The story is serviceable enough, but Dante isn’t a particularly likable lead this time around. This makes it more difficult to get invested in the proceedings. He swears like a sailor — occasionally to the point where it’s absurd — and he’s a bit of a super-jerk. Plus, he makes way too many puns. The backstory we are treated to somewhat early in the game is admittedly pretty interesting, but it’s so limited in execution that it doesn’t leave as indelible a mark as it could — and should. The visuals and textures range from gorgeous to ugly. Environments are impeccably detailed and always offer something cool to look at. The parts where Dante must unchain a giant statue are particularly impressive. However, some of the character models could use a lot of work. Mundus and his mistress in particular look just awful. They look like they got worked over by a plastic surgeon pretty badly and it hinders immersion in the game to a degree, and Vergil has seen better days. Gaudy, rocking and addictive as it can be, “DmC: Devil May Cry” is very much a love-it-orhate-it experience. Fans should proceed with caution and everyone else should prepare themselves accordingly. If you can get past some of the raw, tasteless humor and ultra-violence, it’s a good romp to get lost in. – Sam McConkie is a senior in the technical and professional writing program at USU.

install another site at PG4 but we just couldn’t quite get there.� :HVW 1RUWK /RJDQ ‡ They work to develop these instru-� ments for simplicity and reliability so they will be able to withstand the ele-� ments and harsh temperatures and be able to run for five years autonomously in the field on the Antarctic Plateau. “With PG2 they found that the system overheated and didn’t survive the win-� ter,� Kim said. “It’s supposed to go into hibernation mode when the sun goes down, and when the sun comes back it’s supposed to wake up automatically, but it didn’t wake up.� Each station takes four to five days to install and test, so a minimum of four people are brought out in a small air-� plane to the field to work. One of these people is a mountaineer who has a lot of experience in harsh environments. His responsibilities are to set up camp and makes sure that everyone is safe. “We would stay in tents everyday, but they never got warm,� Fish said. “It was always cold, so we’d have very thick sleeping bags. You have to drink a lot of water and eat a lot of food because you’re burning a lot of calories, and you have to have a lot of energy to avoid hypother-� mia.� The biggest obstacle was the weather due to temperature and unpredictability. “Working in the weather conditions, it’s not that hard to get out there, but if the weather doesn’t cooperate then you basically have to wait for the weather to be in a state that you can work in and you can get the plane in and out,� fish said. It’s also very high altitude at 10,000 to 11,000 feet above sea level, where 70 percent of the air is breathable oxygen. Kim said it feels much higher than that because the air is also so cold. Everybody who goes to the South Pole gets a level of altitude sickness that lasts

for a few days to a week with symptoms ranging from motion sickness to having a headache and losing their appetite. “Most people are able to get over that problem pretty quickly after a couple of days, but it depends on who you are and when you go there,� Kim said. “The symptoms were higher for me than I thought they’d be, but after a while I felt fine.� Along with physical challenges, there is the mental challenge of realizing how isolated the team is in the middle of nowhere. They have to rely on the gov-� ernment to support them with supplies and food. “You can look in any direction and it’s just white,� Fish said. “There is noth-� ing. For hundreds of miles, there’s just nothing. There’s no bugs, no animals, no trees, but the air is very clear and it’s very clean. It’s like an off-�world experi-� ence.� The population at the South Pole is comprised of about 25 percent women and 75 percent men. The base can house up to 200 people where researchers can prepare gear and where the planes take off. There is a support crew that runs the cafeterias, performs maintenance and supports the science teams. There are 80 to 100 people there for science who come from all different parts of the world and usually come in teams of four to 10 that all work on instruments, radar and tele-� scopes. Thirty to 40 people take things out to other places in Antarctica and use South Pole as a base. “Just because the work is challenging doesn’t mean it’s not fun,� Clauer said. “It’s a good experience doing this kind of work. It is challenging and sometimes it’s difficult, but all in all we have a success. It means a lot and you work with a great group of people, so all in all it’s a very fun and positive experience.�

Baseball number 1 BY MARK HOPKINS staff writer

With multiple starters coming back from the national championship team last season, Utah State’s club baseball team isn’t looking to slow down, and the nation has noticed. The 2013 preseason National Club Baseball Association rankings were announced this past week with the Aggies retaining the No. 1 position after their strong finish last year. “Its a great honor,� said club president and captain Garrett Schiffman. “Its something that obviously is due to our success last year.� The Aggies received 13 of 19 first-�place votes to top the list. Rival Colorado State, whom the Aggies defeated in the champion-� ship game last year, was ranked second. Utah State will travel to Fort Collins, Colo. in late March for a four-�game series with the Rams. Schiffman said he wasn’t surprised with the news. “We’ve returned a lot of guys,� he said. “We do deserve to be No. 1, we feel like we are No. 1 and we’ll continue to work hard so that we can stay there the whole year.� The Aggies open the sea-� son Feb. 15 at the College of Southern Idaho. They are practicing indoors with a focus to defend their national title until then, Schiffman said. “Its something that we have to go out and con-� tinue to earn each week.� he said. “As long as we take it one game at a time, we’ll be fine.� – m.hop@aggiemail.usu.edu Twitter:@legendarymhops

Aggie comeback falls short vs top ‘Dogs BY CURTIS LUNDSTROM sports editor

In tale of two halves, the Utah State men’s basketball team saw its comeback fall short Saturday against Louisiana Tech in a 51-�48 loss despite a career-�high 21 points from junior Jarred Shaw. “I got no problem with our effort, we played really really hard,� said head coach Stew Morrill. “La. Tech just seems to find a way. They’ve won a lot of close games lately. You have to give them credit. They’ve won a lot of games like this.� Senior Brandon Gibson had a hot night from the 3-�point line for the Bulldogs, connecting on his first four shots beyond

the arc while scoring 17 points in the first half. Gibson’s fifth 3-�pointer gave Louisiana Tech an 8-�point edge midway through the first half, and the Bulldogs shot 46.7 percent from the field compared to 29.2 percent for the Aggies en route to a 13-�point halftime lead. The tide turned to start the second half after an 8-�0 USU run over the first six minutes cut the deficit to five. After forcing 10 turnovers in the first half with its full-�court press, the Bulldogs forced just one Aggie turnover in the second half. “They couldn’t press us as much because they couldn’t score,� Morrill said. “It’s hard to get in your press when you’re

not scoring, so our defense was really why we weren’t turning it over. They weren’t facing that press every time.� Louisiana Tech shot just 18.5 percent from the field in the second half, and Utah State pulled down 10 of its 19 offen-� sive rebounds to chip away at the lead. Matters got even worse for the Bulldogs when Gibson caught an elbow jostling with Ben Clifford for position under the basket and left the game for the final seven minutes. An old-�fashioned 3-�point play from junior Spencer Butterfield pulled USU within one, and on the ensuing possession Butterfield knotted the game at 48 with 1:42 to play. With

Gibson on the bench, the Aggies held the Bulldogs to just three points over the final seven min-� utes, but that’s all it took. Sophomore Raheem Appleby knocked down the go-�ahead 3-�pointer with 90 seconds left and Clifford’s 3-�point attempt at the buzzer bounced off the rim twice as time expired to give Louisiana Tech its first victory at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in eight tries. “I thought it was in,� Shaw said of Clifford’s shot. “Unfortunately, it didn’t go in. We just have to learn from it, just try and move on and stay positive.� Utah State fell to 14-�4 all-�time See AGGIES, Page 8

sports editor Despite four consecutive losses, the Utah State men’s basketball team is optimistic about its chances down the stretch in confer-� ence play. “It’s a tough loss, but I’m proud to be a part of this team,� said junior Spencer Butterfield. “I’m proud of our guys for the way we battled tonight. Don’t give up on this team yet. We’ve still got a lot of fight in us. We’re going to keep coming to work every single day and we’re going to be doing some good things coming up. I can feel it.� With injuries to leading scorer Preston Medlin and Kyisean Reed, a large load of responsibility has fallen to Butterfield. In a loss to Texas-�Arlington last Thursday, Butterfield rose to the occasion with 23 points and 11 rebounds — his first career double-�double. Butterfield also carried the Aggies down the stretch in Saturday’s loss to Louisiana Tech, but got a lot of help from junior Jarred Shaw. “I think we fought hard and we got a little bit better today even though we lost,� Shaw said. “We just got better as a group. We just have to learn from this, stay positive and move on to the next one.� Shaw is a major part of why the Aggies aren’t dead. The Texas native played his best game of the season against the Bulldogs with a career-�high 21 points and 14 rebounds for his seventh double-�double of the season. “I thought Jarred was totally playing as hard as he could play, which we needed him to do,� head coach Stew Morrill said. “It was kind of a grind-�out game, probably the kind of game that we had a chance in. In our present situation, we needed to have that kind of game.� Even before Medlin and Reed went down to injury, Shaw had been a driving force for the Aggies. His seven double-�doubles are the 41st most in the NCAA, and Shaw ranks near the top of the WAC in a handful of statistical categories. For the season Shaw is averaging 8.4 rebounds per game, put-� ting him in the top-�75 in the country and second in the WAC in conference only games at 8.0 rebounds per game. Shaw also ranks in the top-�10 in conference statistics win scor-� ing at 12.7 points per game, field goal percentage at 50.5 percent and blocked shots with 1.21 per game. Despite the numbers, Shaw said after the game Saturday he still feels room for improve-� ment. “I’ve been in a bit of a slump and down on myself,� Shaw said. “I just thank God I had a great game tonight.� – curtislundstrom@gmail.com Twitter: @CurtisLundstrom

Late-�game heroics has the Utah State women’s basketball team back at .500 after win-� ning their season-�high fourth game in a row. The Aggies were in action Saturday night when they took on Louisiana Tech on the road. USU defeat-� ed the Lady Techsters 76-�75 in overtime. “The style of the game sta-� tistically wasn’t real pretty as far as shooting percentages,� said USU head coach Jerry Finkbeiner. “I give credit to both teams defense. It was a good defensive game.� The star of the night was senior Jenna Johnson, who hit the game winner with five seconds remaining in the overtime session with the Aggies down one. Johnson finished with 15 points to go along with seven rebounds. Sophomore Franny Vaaulu was USU’s leading scorer with 20 points and eight rebounds. The Lady Techsters were led by Brittany Lewis, who had a double-�double with a game high 21 points and 10 rebounds. With the win, the Aggies are back at .500 for the first time since the start of the season. USU is 10-�10 and holds second place in the WAC at 7-�2. The Lady Techsters, who were picked to finish behind the Aggies in the WAC this season, are having a disap-� pointing campaign so far at 9-�10 and 5-�4 in conference play. “7-�2 is the best start the

women’s Aggies have had in the WAC, so we are proud of that accomplishment,� Finkbeiner said. It was a rough first half as neither team could get an edge on the other. USU shot 23 per-� cent in the first half, so it was their strong defense that kept them in the game. The Aggies forced 10 steals and two blocks in the first 20 minutes. At the start of the second half, the Aggies took their first lead of the game after a 3-�pointer by Schlott. The second half played much differently from the first as both teams traded baskets and the lead. Louisiana Tech took its biggest lead of the game 56-�47 with six minutes remaining. “They opened up a nine point lead with about six min-� utes to go and that’s when we clawed back,� Finkbeiner said. “Elise Nelson came up big and Franny came up big down the stretch. Both of them got the majority of our points in the last two minutes of regulation. They provided us getting back into the game.� USU fought back and even-� tually tied the game 62-�62 after a layup by sophomore Elise Nelson. The Techsters took the lead 66-�64 after a jumper by Lewis with 19 seconds to play. The Aggies responded on the next possession with Vaaulu tying the game with nine ticks remaining on the clock. Louisiana Tech had one final shot to win the game in regulation but Kelia Shelton missed the shot at the buzzer.

“The second half opened up a lot more,� Finkbeiner said. “Both teams got some fast breaks that’s why the score was so much more in the second half.� In overtime, USU struck first with a basket by Vaaulu. Louisiana Tech overcame the deficit and took a three point lead after made free throws by Shelton. Schlott came right back and made a pair of free throws to cut the lead to 75-�74 with 2:10 to play. “We ran an out of bounds play for Devyn but they cov-� ered her, so Jenna was the counter and we threw it to Jenna,� Finkbeiner said. “She hit a really tough shot under the basket to give us a one point lead.� Neither team would score again until Johnson hit the game winning shot with five seconds to play. The Techsters got one final shot for the win but Kendra Andrews 3-�pointer as time expired was no good. USU will look to ride this momentum into a huge three-� game homestand where they will welcome first-�place Seattle University and second-�place University of Idaho. They will also play San Jose State, who defeated the Aggies 103-�80. “These three games are big because we could move into first place with a home sweep,� Finkbeiner said. The first game will be Thursday at 7 p.m. when they play Idaho at the Spectrum. – jborba@aggiemail.usu.edu Twitter: JBorba15

SENIOR BRIAN GIBBONS wins a faceoff during a home game against Brigham Young University on Jan. 19. CURTIS RIPPLINGER photo

BY SEAN O’SULLIVAN staff writer

Utah State’s club hockey team spent the weekend in San Jose, Calif., and came home with three wins out of the possible four. The only team in the San Jose Showcase to beat the Aggies was the hometown San Jose State Spartans. Utah State 14, UNLV 3 Utah State started the tournament strong with a decisive victory of the Rebels of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Forward Matt Hamilton had his best game of the season scoring twice and adding four assists. The Aggies’ special teams was especially effective, scor-� ing four times on seven power play opportunities scoring a shorthanded goal during a penalty kill. USU allowed just one power play goal on nine chances for UNLV. Utah State scored seven unanswered goals to put the game out of reach down the stretch. Utah State 10, Texas A&M 2 Utah State captain Brian

Gibbons recorded his fifth hat trick of the season and the Aggies took a 3-�0 lead into the first intermission. In the final 6:08 of the first period, three different Utah State players scored. USU extended its lead to 8-�0 by the end of the second period including Gibbons hat trick goal with seven seconds remaining in the period. Utah State once again took a lot of penalties, but only surrendered one power play goal. Goalie Bryce Scherschel made 45 saves, but was pulled after he allowed the second goal. Taylor Flandro made seven saves in relief. San Jose State 4, Utah State 3 Utah State’s comeback attempt against the home-� town Spartans came up short after the Aggies scored two third-�period goals. After an efficient penalty kill performance in the first two games of the tourna-� ment, penalties finally caught up with the Aggies. Playing shorthanded prevented any offensive rhythm and in the final seven minutes of the sec-� ond period, the Aggies only played 2:10 of five on five while being down a man the

rest of the time. With 2:29 left in the sec-� ond period, the Spartans scored what ended up being the game-�winner on the power play. The Aggies won the third period, but not decisively enough. Brian Gibbons scored shorthanded and Hamilton scored on the power play, but the Aggies fell short of tying the game and forcing over-� time. The Aggies and Spartans have now split the season series 1-�1. Utah State 3, San Diego State 2

Utah State ended the San Jose Showcase on a good note, beating the Aztecs 3-�2, despite trailing for a large portion of the game. San Diego State struck first with 1:24 left in the first period to take the 1-�0 lead into the second period. Neither team scored in the second period, so the Aggies started the final period of the tournament down by one. Utah State then scored three unanswered goals to take the lead.

The top 5 signs the world will end — sports edition Curtis Lundstrom Livin’ the Dream

We’ve all heard and read the alleged signs and endured countless predictions from numerous groups about when the world will end — many of which have come and gone without occurring. I think it’s safe to say that no one knows for sure. With that being said, I give you the Top 5 Signs the End of the World is Nigh: Sports Edition, with the disclaimer that each of them has been verified and vouched for by F.A.L.S.E. — Fictitious Accusations and Libelous Signs of the End — Incorporated. 5. Ed Hoculi pulls a Tim Donaghy Hoculi is the Peyton Manning of NFL referees. He’s the poster boy for the NFLRA — National Football League Referee Association — and a great all-around guy that would never let power or greed get the better of him. Donaghy was convicted for his role in a gambling scandal in 2007 in which he bet on games in which he was officiating. He was

imprisoned for two 15 month sentences, served concurrently and fined $217,000 after resigning from his position. So the day Hoculi is in the news for betting on the games he is officiating like Donaghy did, be weary. Because who believes the saying, “Everyone has a price they can be bought for?� 4. Manti Te’o gets a real girlfriend Ironically, this isn’t that far-fetched. I mean, what girl wouldn’t want a studly football player who was runner-up for a national award? Yet somehow, we spent how long listening to the national media rant about Teo. 3. Skip Bayless renounces his man crush on Tim Tebow Seriously, was there broadcast of ESPN’s First Take in which we didn’t suffer through a rant from Skip about “The Holy One?� Talk about an extremely unhealthy, and honestly creepy, mancrush. You know why he’s such a Tebow-fanatic? Because his precious Oklahoma Sooners got shredded and taunted by Tebow in the 2009 BCS title game. Yeah, Tebow had a solid college career, but he’s not an NFL quarterback. Let the past

They haven’t been to the World Series since 1945, and have only reached the NLCS three times since then. The most recent came 10 years ago when Steve Bartman interfered with Moises Alou on a foul ball. The city of Chicago demonized Bartman in the days following and still does today. Sorry guys, but you blew it yourselves. Steve Bartman, The Curse of the Billy Goat, and bad management: three reasons the Cubs are the laughing stock of Major League Baseball.

Dry campus policy may need revision College is a time when young adults are weaned from their dependence on Mom and Dad and learn to survive on their own. While this is Utah, where many do not drink, it might be time for USU to reconsider letting students and faculty drink on campus. From a logical standpoint, it makes sense to allow alcohol on campus. For starters, alcohol could bring revenue to the An Editorial Opinion school. Imagine if the Skyroom had a bar in it, sponsored by a major brewing company like Budweiser, or supported by a local business like Wasatch Brewery. It would be a place for the 23 percent of students who do drink to drink safely on campus while giving money to the school. The bar could have a cut-off limit in case students get too tipsy. By allowing alcohol in certain places on campus, an environment is created for individuals to learn responsible drinking behavior. Too much of the bad rap surrounding alcohol use is due to the “frat party� stereotype shown on television. Go ahead and put restrictions on places like the dorms, but by restricting alcohol altogether not only are freedoms being prohibited, but individuals and groups from other backgrounds are being kept from living their preferred lifestyle. This isn’t limited to just students; there are plenty of professors who don’t come from an Latter-day Saint background, yet they aren’t out partying on the weekend either. Easing alcohol restrictions would create a more welcome environment for out-of-state and international students who may often feel alienated by their peers. This would also attract more out-of-state students, which would certainly ease the financial impact of the admissions shortfall soon to come. It’s not like USU will become a top-10 party school. Allow consumption and monitor the results. If administration opens an avenue and things start downhill, revise the policies again and tighten the ropes. A good place to start would be at USU’s sports arenas. Fans already tailgate and drink in the Romney Stadium parking lot: Why not let them buy a beer at the game? Again, this would raise revenue for the school and show students that the university wants them to be responsible by giving them the opportunity. Most of all, allowing the consumption alcohol shows trust in students. Students are further driven toward rebellion when restrictions are placed upon them. Revising the alcohol restrictions on campus is the first step to expanding — or hopefully removing — the bubble that metaphorically encompasses us.

With solemn regard, I do. Some 150 years ago on this day, Jan. 29, the U.S. Cavalry under General Patrick O’Connor was being lead by Mormon scouts, principal among them Porter Rockwell, to a Shoshoni village. It was a cold bitter day. At dawn, they attacked. The Shoshoni warriors under their chief, Bear Hunter, repulsed the charges time after time until their ammunition was VSHQW 1R SHUKDSV \RX have not heard of this day because of the ensuing slaughter. 1HYHU LQ DOO P\ \HDUV has a subject been so hard but necessary to discuss. With their ammunition gone, the Shoshoni were swept down like dirt over a wood floor into the dust pan. Regardless of age and gender.

Most were shot trying to escape. The women were raped, children and infants had their heads bashed against trees because “nits make lice� and so they could save bullets. Chief Bear Hunter fought gallantly, bravely for his people. Always telling them to get to safety and urging the warriors to protect the women and children. Unfortunately, he too was caught. He was tortured, but he never screamed out in pain and that was no fun for the Mormon scouts and the cavalry, so, they heated up a bayonet and thrust it in between his ears. The number killed ranges from the Military’s report of 250 (that they could count) to more than 500, as is generally accepted by the Shoshoni. That makes this one of, if not the largest Indian massacre west of the Mississippi. Larger than even Wounded Knee. After the massacre, the troops wore the body parts of the women and children as trophies and were celebrated as heroes throughout nor th ern Utah, including Cache Valley. Maybe this is why you’ve never heard of it. The Mormon/White-Indian conflict was summed up in this event. With their resources constantly being depleted

by the settlers and the thousands of people with their horses and cattle moving along the Oregon Trial, it became necessary for many of the Shoshoni to beg or starve or steal. For this, even though the settlers were on Shoshoni land without permission, they were deemed savages. The only land, to my knowledge, that was agreed upon for the Mormons to settle into was the Salt Lake Valley. Cache Valley was to be off limits. This valley once was very sacred to my people. Who am I that I should write so boldly? I am Jason Brough, I am a descendent of Poe-pe-hop who was shot in the chest on that fateful day and carried the bullet with her till the day she died. I am a Shoshoni Indian from that very small parcel of land known as a Reservation out at Washakie, Utah, and I am tired. I am tired of whites telling me to get over it and that it is in the past. Have you ever seen a massacre? I have. Every time I write or talk about the Bear River Massacre such a scene is presented before my eyes it takes all I have not to weep for the fallen of my People.

How will Obama’s second term play out?

Martin Luther King Jr. once said that a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a From molder of consensus. As the we celebrated the holileft day honoring that great man, we also witnessed President Obama rise to that challenge of leadership at the outset of his second term. His inaugural address, sobering yet hopeful, mindful but determined, laid the foundation for his next four years in office. Obama’s first term was marked with countless successes and struggles, but he was still gaining experience as a leader. With each crisis weathered, from economic recovery to health care reform, to ending the wars, he learned. But something changed for the President after his victory in the 2012 election; he came of age. 6LQFH 1RYHPEHU ZH KDYH VHHQ WKH 3UHVLGHQW QRW as a passive viewer or even his favored position as a mediator, but an active and determined leader. He has been very clear about his policy goals. He plans to continue his push for immigration reform to ensure that there is a road to citizenship for those who want to come to the U.S. and equal rights for all of our citizens, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. He looks to improve our environment and address global climate change rather than ignore the problems that threaten not just our nation, but the world. He will continue pressing on guns to reduce the violence and extremism that fuel the debate. Success in the fiscal cliff negotiations show that his economic plan is moving forward, emphasizing deficit reduction, economic

President Obama was officially sworn in to his second term last From week, and he dropped some hints in his inaugural the speech about what his secright ond term may be like. He was very bold in many of the points he made, signaling to me that he intends to be more aggressive with the traditional liberal agenda. He mentioned climate change, women’s rights, gay rights and immigration along with several others. What I found very interesting is the fact that he didn’t seem to hold back very much. I expect a similar term to the first but with more aggressiveness on the issues I mentioned above. I don’t expect any significant changes in the economic situation in our country and I certainly don’t expect any significant changes in our country’s fiscal situation — both issues that affect every single American citizen. From his speech, I would expect the President to execute a similar strategy moving forward: divide and conquer. He has seen great success by going after single-issue voters and culturally diverse voters. I think that we can count on the President to concentrate his efforts in areas where he will appeal to these singleissue voters and traditionally liberal voters, all while ignoring the economic and fiscal situation of our country. He proved he can get reelected with a crappy economy and mountains of debt, so what incentive does he have to deal with those problems during his VHFRQG WHUP" 1RQH The biggest difference this time around is that, in his own words, he has more “flexibility.� I would assume

RIGHT: Prez. to BEAR: Massacre must be remembered push his agenda From page 10

From page 10 that means he will be more flexible to pursue his agenda without the worry of an upcoming election. I would expect he’ll get away with a majority of the things he sets out to do. He generally gets what he wants out of Congress. On that note, I’ve been very disappointed recently with many Republicans in Congress because they seem to be on the losing end of every negotiation. Until they can find some credibility, the president will always win. Although I do not agree with President Obama on a majority of the issues, I honestly do hope that he can lead our nation back to growth and prosperity. I hope that the president will be willing to work with those not of his political persuasion to do what’s in the best interest for a majority of Americans. I love my country and I respect President Obama as the leader of it. With that said, my hope is that he will put his hyperpartisanship aside and be a leader, not a divider, for the sake of our country.

When you bury something in the past you are doomed to forget it, and in your forgetting you are doomed to repeat it. Forgiveness does not come by running from the problem. It comes by opening it to the eyes of all people and recognizing the tragedy and heartache that was felt on both sides. But do not believe my words. Find out for yourself whether what I have spoken is true. For most of you, I fear, will pass by this article as thing of naught and this will be like any other ordinary day.

Savage in my words only because you do not understand them or have the ability to take them to heart. Uncivilized in my thoughts and actions. For if civility means the utter desecration of Mother Earth and no respect for living and inanimate objects, then I am truly uncivilized. Wild, because I choose real freedom over your illusions. I am all of these things, and yet I am happy and at peace with the Master of Life, for I do what the Old Ones ask of me —

growth, and shared responsibility and benefit for all. For the first time in recent history, each of these proposals has received the support of a strong majority of Americans. Beyond policy, we can also look to Obama’s second term nominations for insight. It will be impossible to fill the shoes of Hillary Clinton as she leaves the State Department, however the choice of John Kerry demonstrates a pragmatic approach to foreign policy. Continuing his impressive track record of bipartisan appointments, the nomination of Republican Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense can be read as a commitment to ending the war while remaining strong on national security. Hagel’s confirmation will be difficult, but shows that Obama has no intention of shying away from difficult circumstances. Nearly five years after the economic collapse, the nominations of budgetsavvy Jack Lew to the Treasury and Mary Jo White who prosecuted Mafia bosses to the Securities and Exchange Commission signal a focus on economic growth and toughness on the recklessness of Wall Street. Like many before him, Obama is looking to his second term to shape his legacy. His inaugural address drew many lessons from history with the spirit of moving forward while remembering the past. Though he recognizes the challenges of divided government, he has adopted new determination to lead the nation toward genuine progress.
