Junior  Jake  Giffuni  contemplates  paying  for  parking  in  the  City  Market  parking  lot  on  North  Winooski  Avenue  on  Nov.  5.

No spots available Burlington parking woes exposed By  Devin  Karambelas Staff  Writer Burlington  has  a  lot  to  offer  as  a  college  town,  but  some  stu-­ dents  feel  that  adequate  parking  is  not  one  of  them.  Students  living  off  campus  frequently  encounter  the  prob-­ OHP RI ¿QGLQJ SDUNLQJ VSDFHV for  their  vehicles,  which  can  be  GLI¿FXOW LQ D FLW\ WKDW ERDVWV D relatively  high  population  den-­ sity  and  maintains  strict  parking  regulations.  The  rate  of  an  on-­campus  parking  permit  for  undergradu-­ ate  students  is  anywhere  from  $55  to  $330  depending  on  the  duration  of  time  and  availability,  according  to  the  UVM  Transpor-­ tation  and  Parking  Services  web-­ site.   For  some  students,  problems  can  even  arise  in  the  permit  ap-­ plication  process.

Normally,  those  eligible  for  residential  parking  permits  are  required  to  visit  the  Burlington  3DUNLQJ 6HUYLFHV RIÂżFH ZLWK D completed  current  lease,  valid  driver’s  license  and  registration  as  well  as  their  class  schedule,  ac-­ cording  to  the  Burlington  Police  Department’s  website.  Junior  Bree  Alvarado  said  that  trying  to  get  a  permit  from  Burlington  Parking  Services  was  quite  a  process. “The  woman  at  the  counter  did  not  feel  comfortable  issuing  me  a  parking  permit  because  she  had  never  given  one  to  a  person  who  lives  in  the  house  I  live  in,â€?  she  said.

Alvarado  said  she  then  had  to  contact  John  King,  parking  en-­ forcement  manager  for  the  Bur-­ lington  Police,  and  explained  to  him  that  her  house  was  not  a  part  of  UVM  property.   ³,W ZDV D GLI¿FXOW DQG IUXV-­ trating  process,  but  I  was  lucky  to  attain  one,�  she  said.

The  real  challenge  for  stu-­ GHQWV LV WR WKHQ ÂżJXUH RXW ZKHUH to  park. “Downtown  Burlington  has  over  4,000  parking  spaces  avail-­ able  to  the  public,â€?  according  to  the  Burlington  City  Hall  website.  Still,  some  people  may  have  GLIÂżFXOW\ ÂżQGLQJ MXVW RQH “[Vehicles]  cannot  be  parked  on  any  green  space  or  grass,  on  any  Burlington  street  with  ‘For  Sale’  signs  displayed  and  on  streets  that  are  posted  as  ‘Resi-­ dential  Parking’  only,â€?  accord-­ ing  to  UVM’s  Off-­Campus  Living  Student  Survival  Guide. “Common  violations  include  ‘no  parking  from  here  to  corner’,  DQG ÂľLQ IURQW RI D ÂżUH K\GUDQW ϫ

the  guide  stated.

All  violations  of  parking  regu-­ lations,  including  failure  to  pay  parking  meters,  are  liable  for  ¿QHV DQG WRZLQJ ZKLFK FDQ FRVW $12  to  $100  per  violation.

Parking  has  been  a  long-­ time  problem  in  the  city,  and  the  growth  in  population  has  exacer-­ bated  it,  said  Gail  Shampnois,  di-­ rector  of  student  and  community  relations. “The  most  frequent  com-­ plaints  about  vehicles  we  receive  from  city  departments  and  city  residents  are  parking  on  green  space,  parking  illegally  and  speeding,�  Shampnois  said.  John  Casey  Sr.,  parking  op-­ erations  manager  for  the  univer-­ sity,  said  he  disagrees. “I  do  not  believe  that  popu-­ lation  growth  in  Burlington  af-­ fects  campus  parking  directly,�  he  said.  “The  factors  that  affect  campus  parking  day  to  day  are  student,  faculty  and  visitor  [park-­ ing  during]  peak  demand.�

The  parking  problem  can  get  even  worse  when  the  already-­ limited  quantity  of  available  spots  is  drastically  reduced  by  snow  bans.

“It was a difficult and frustrating process, but I was luck to attain [a permit].�

Bree Alvarado Junior During  a  snow  ban,  parking  is  prohibited  on  any  street  in  a  residential  area  from  10  p.m.  to  7  a.m.  and  in  the  downtown  area  from  midnight  to  6  a.m.  Vehicles  found  on  the  street  are  towed  and  RZQHUV DUH LVVXHG D ¿QH DF-­ cording  to  UVM’s  Off-­Campus  guide.

While  UVM  parking  services  does  not  issue  a  snow  ban  on  campus,  there  is  no  overnight  parking  allowed  on  the  upper  deck  of  the  Gutterson  Fieldhouse  garage  between  November  and  April  for  snow  removal,  the  web-­ site  stated.

Given  the  likelihood  of  snow  bans  in  Vermont  as  well  as  other  parking  issues,  Shampnois  urged  students  to  rethink  their  daily  transportation. “It  is  good  to  look  into  alter-­ natives  such  as  tenants  sharing  a  car,  biking,  using  the  bus,  riding  the  Off-­Campus  shuttle  and  Car-­ Share  VT,�  she  said.

‘Soul of UVM’ lost Protestors stage mock funeral By  Devin  Karambelas Staff  Writer As  more  than  100  demonstra-­ tors  stood  up  to  what  they  per-­ ceive  to  be  corporate  greed  in  the  administration,  the  Waterman  %XLOGLQJ EHFDPH WKH RIÂżFLDO VLWH for  a  funeral  service  mourning  the  “soul  of  UVMâ€?  on  Nov.  2.  The  protestors  marched  to  WKH IRXUWK Ă€RRU RI WKH :DWHUPDQ Building,  where  some  adminis-­ WUDWLYH RIÂżFHV DUH ORFDWHG DQG then  moved  to  the  Occupy  Burl-­ ington  encampment  in  Burling-­ ton’s  City  Hall  Park.  The  participants  staged  a  mock  funeral  for  the  University  that  coincided  with  Mexico’s  Day  of  the  Dead  and  support  for  Oc-­ cupy  Oakland. “UVM  is  a  microcosm  of  so-­ ciety,  where  there  is  economic  inequality  and  poor  priorities,â€?  professor  of  English  Helen  Scott  said.  “The  call  for  the  day  of  ac-­ tion  is  for  the  right  to  peacefully  assemble.â€?

Chants  of   “Banks  got  bailed  out,  we  got  sold  out!�  and  “Fogel  got  bailed  out,  we  got  sold  out!�  could  be  heard  as  the  demonstra-­

United  Academics,  Occupy  Burlington  and  the  Burlington  chapter  of  the  International  So-­ cialist  Organization  (ISO)  orga-­ nized  the  march  to  oppose  ad-­ ministrative  corruption,  budget  cuts,  tuition  increases  and  to  stand  in  solidarity  with  partici-­ pants  of  Occupy  Oakland,  accord-­ ing  to  the  Burlington  Free  Press.

The  support  for  Occupy  Oak-­ land  came  from  an  incident  that  occurred  on  Oct.  25  in  Oakland,  California  when  violent  confron-­ tations  with  the  police  caused  Scott  Olsen,  a  demonstrator  and  Iraq  War  veteran,  to  be  seriously  injured  by  a  projectile  object  that  hit  him  in  the  head,  according  to  BBC.com.

Several  posters  and  websites  promoting  this  march  and  rally  urged  protestors  to  “wear  your  mourning  clothes�  and  “dress  in  black.�

Many  protestors  wore  paper  masks  or  skulls.  Spanish  profes-­ sor  Tina  Escaja  read  a  eulogy  for  the  “soul  of  UVM�  in  Spanish  that  was  then  translated  into  English,  the  article  stated.

Alex  Buckingham,  a  senior  who  also  participated  in  the  pro-­ test,  agreed. “The  connections  here  are  quite  clear,â€?  Buckingham  said.  “The  staff,  workers  and  students  are  the  ones  that  create  UVM.â€? Â

Students question Lofts’ off-campus status By  Sarah  Stohmayer Staff  Writer 6RPH VWXGHQWV KDYH H[-­ pressed  confusion  about  the  off-­ campus  nature  of  the  on-­campus  Redstone  Lofts.  The  lofts  are  a  privately  owned  and  operated,  and  the  land  has  been  leased  from  UVM  for  50  years.  The  new  residences  will  be  RZQHG E\ &DWDPRXQW 6WXGHQW Housing  LLC  and  operated  by  the  Redstone  Commercial  Group  un-­ der  a  long-­term  ground  lease  with  UVM,  according  to  Redstone  Loft  construction  website.  One  concern  some  students  had  about  the  lofts  was  whether  or  not  they  were  considered  on  campus  property  because  of  UVM’s  status  as  a  “dry�  campus.

Because  the  University  does  not  own  the  lofts,  they  can  be  considered  off-­campus  housing,  Redstone  Lofts  owner  Larry  Wil-­ liams  said.

This  means  that  there  is  no  requirement  that  the  building  be  “dry,�  just  as  there  is  no  require-­ ment  that  off-­campus  housing  be  “dry,�  Williams  said.

Professor dives despite chilly climate

Scuba diving class remains strong even without P.E. requirements By  Kayla  Bittner Cynic  Correspondent The  sound  of  shallow  breath-­ ing  accompanied  the  images  of  60-­foot-­deep  water  on  the  televi-­ sion  screen  as  a  homemade  mov-­ ie  is  projected.

Chip  Perry,  scuba  diving  in-­ structor  and  co-­owner  of  Water-­ front  Diving  Center,  is  playing  the  video  of  his  most  recent  dive  at  the  Websterville  Quarry  near  Barre.

Perry  is  one  of  the  instructors  for  the  UVM  scuba  class,  PEAC  47,  which  teaches  students  the  basics  of  scuba  diving.

When  Perry  was  a  UVM  stu-­ dent  majoring  in  business,  he  VDLG LW WRRN WLPH IRU KLP WR ¿QG his  passion  of  scuba  diving.

It  started  as  his  part-­time  job  in  college  13  years  ago  and  he  “got  hooked  on  it,�  Perry  said. “I  like  the  comradery,  the  peo-­ ple,  and  being  around  the  diving  equipment,�  Perry  said.

Perry  has  traveled  all  over  the  world,  from  the  Florida  Keys  and  the  Cayman  Islands  to  Lake  Champlain,  to  scuba  dive.  “There’s  so  much  life  un-­ derwater  that  most  of  the  world  doesn’t  see,�  Perry  said.  “There  are  tons  of  shipwrecks.�

When  asked  where  his  dream  dive  location  would  be  he  said  the  Maldives  off  of  the  coast  of  India. “It’s  an  island  nation  ‌  no  more  than  two  to  three  feet  above  sea  level  and  the  diving’s  sup-­ posed  to  be  phenomenal,â€?  Perry  said.

Another  thing  on  this  ad-­ vanced  diver’s  bucket  list:  “Diving  in  a  cave  with  great  white  sharks.â€? $IWHU UHFHLYLQJ KLV FHUWLÂżFD-­ tion  and  traveling,  he  decided  to  come  back  to  Vermont  and  teach. “I  missed  Vermont,  which  is  why  I’ve  come  back,â€?  he  said.  That  is  what  brought  him  to  where  he  is  today:  teaching  scuba  classes  and  helping  run  the  Wa-­ terfront  Diving  Center  on  Pine  Street  in  Burlington.

Perry  said  he  loves  seeing  his  student’s  faces  when  they  come  XS IURP WKHLU ÂżUVW GLYH “I  had  a  group  come  up  today  and  it  was  cold  and  dreary  and  they  all  came  up  with  the  biggest  smiles  on  their  faces  and  said  it  was  awesome,â€?  he  said.  Perry  said  the  course  is  a  basic  level,  60  feet  or  shallow  dive,  and  holds  up  to  48  students  per  class, Â

Over  the  years,  Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  stu-­ dents  spread  the  word  about  his  scuba  class  to  their  friends,  he  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly,  meeting  Chip  has  been  the  most  rewarding  part  of  having  taken  scuba  at  UVM,â&#x20AC;?  for-­ mer  student  Whitney  Montgom-­ ery-­Nassif  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  helped  me  get  a  job  with  another  diver  in  the  area.â&#x20AC;?

reals,  grains,  breads  and  dry  and  canned  goods  at  the  big-­ ger  supermarkets,  which  are  concerned  less  with  food  miles  and  more  with  reduced  prices  for  consumers.  Mastering  this  careful  balance  is  crucial  for  preventing  food  co-­op  bank-­ ruptcy  halfway  through  the  se-­ mester.

Another  stellar  way  to  get  your  weekly  groceries  is  through  a  community-­supported  agri-­ culture  (CSA)  farm  share.  As  a  household  full  of  students,  you  all  become  â&#x20AC;&#x153;shareholdersâ&#x20AC;?  of  a  farm  through  an  upfront  payment,  and  in  return  receive  vegetables  from  the  farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  har-­ vest  throughout  the  growing  season.  This  provides  the  farmer  with  a  consistent  market  for  his  or  her  goods  and  helps  de-­ velop  and  maintain  a  sustain-­ able  food  system.  Not  only  are  you  able  to  pick  up  your  weekly  produce,  eggs  and  bread  at  the  Davis  Center,  you  also  never  know  what  that  particular  weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  share  has  in  store,  forc-­ ing  you  to  get  creative  with  your  meals.  Lastly,  be  prepared.  If  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ¿QDOV ZHHN DQG \RX NQRZ \RX will  be  in  the  library  from  dusk  till  dawn,  do  yourself  a  favor  and  pack  a  snack,  lunch,  din-­ ner,  etc.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  silly  to  be  regularly  shopping  for  food  off  campus  as  well  as  investing  in  Sodexoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ever-­so-­scrumptious  refresh-­ ments.

As  we  approach  the  end  of  the  semester,  some  of  us  are  reaching  the  limits  of  our  physical  and  mental  energy.   All  I  have  to  say  to  you  all  is:  Hang  in  there.  Thanksgiving  break  is  a  couple  weeks  away.  Soon  we  will  all  have  a  chance  to  breathe  a  little  bit  and  have  a  short  respite  from  being  busy  students.  How-­ ever,  until  we  get  that  break  remember  to  keep  your  cool.  Whether  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  with  a  room-­ mate  or  a  neighbor,  it  can  get  easy  to  lose  your  temper  while  running  high  on  anxiety  and  stress.  Some  of  you  have  shared  stories  and  questions  in  looking  for  help  to  maintain  a  relationship  with  a  friend,  roommate,  or  neighbor.  Here  are  some  helpful  tips  on  healthy  communication.  Check  your  attitude.

The  attitudes  we  come  into  a  situation  with  can  really  have  an  impact  in  any  interac-­ tion  we  have  with  someone.   Approaching  someone  with  an  outlook  based  in  under-­ standing,  genuineness  and  respect  can  help  you  to  start  a  conversation  in  a  positive  way.

When  UVM  dropped  the  physical  education  requirement  for  students,  the  class  has  still  ap-­ peared  popular  thanks  to  word  of  mouth,  Perry  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  makes  the  class  so  fun,â&#x20AC;?  sophomore  Morgan  Nichols  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  also  makes  sure  were  com-­ fortable  in  the  water.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  if  anyone  has  had  the  inkling  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;should  I  take  it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  they  should  try  it,â&#x20AC;?  Perry  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  happy  to  talk  to  anyone.â&#x20AC;?

Ask  open-­ended  ques-­ tions  and  check  for  un-­ derstanding.  Asking  â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatâ&#x20AC;?  or  â&#x20AC;&#x153;howâ&#x20AC;?  questions  encourage  the  other  person  to  share  and  explain  how  he/she  may  be  feeling.  You  can  also  make  sure  you  understand  what  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  hear-­ LQJ 5HĂ&#x20AC;HFW EDFN WR WKH RWKHU person  the  feelings  and  situa-­ tion  you  heard  expressed.  Let  them  know  that  you  under-­ stand  allows  both  people  to  explore  the  issue  at  hand.  Be  assertive.  When  you  have  the  need  to  express  a  feeling,  thought  or  concern,  be  assertive;Íž  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  shy  away  from  having  an  honest  conversation.  Ask  the  person  you  want  to  talk  to  if  he  or  she  has  time  to  chat.  Be  VSHFLÂżF DQG GLUHFW LQ ZKDW \RX want  to  communicate  and  use  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;?  statements.  Listen  for  the  other  person  QHHGLQJ FODULÂżFDWLRQ DQG SUR-­ vide  information  that  moves  the  conversation  forward  in  a  positive  way.  Acknowledge  what  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  feeling  and  need-­ ing  and  what  the  other  person  is  saying.  Listen  for  agreement  and  make  that  explicit  during  the  conversation.  Communication  is  key  to  maintaining  healthy  relation-­ ships  and  social  wellness.  Trust  that  dialogue  can  take  you  to  a  deeper  level  of  under-­ standing  with  another  person.  Jude  Paul  Dizon  works  in  Health  Education  &  Outreach  through  the  Center  for  Health  and  Wellbeing

Cynic Video

Emma Hansen presents: BTV Beats Brats â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beer: Das Bierhaus They handed me a plate with two massive, fresh-offthe-grill brats and I instantly fell in love. Das Bierhaus is an authentic German restaurant located at the end of Church Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything here is either very German, or very local, or both,â&#x20AC;? said Ashley Ethier, a bartender at Das Bierhaus.

They offer a wide variety of beers, right from the breweries in Germany, as well as an extensive menu of German food made with local ingredients.

On a Friday night, the second floor bar was packed while servers in Dirndls weaved around customers with trays of food and beer.

Das Bierhaus is the perfect way to fight the bitterly cold weather encroaching on Burlington.

Students bring â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to life Costumes, design, stage management help play come together By  Natalie  Slack Senior  Staff  Writer The  UVM  department  of  the-­ atre  is  presenting  Bertolt  Brechtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Good  Woman  of  Setzuanâ&#x20AC;?  from  Nov.  3-­13  as  a  part  of  their  2011-­2012  season.

The  play  begins  with  the  ar-­ rival  to  Setzuan  of  three  gods,  who  are  seeking  a  place  to  stay.  The  prostitute,  Shen  Te,  is  the  only  person  that  extends  kind-­ ness  to  them.  In  order  to  show  their  appreciation,  the  gods  give  her  money  to  start  her  own  to-­ bacco  shop.  As  the  play  unfolds,  everyone  in  Setzuan  starts  taking  advan-­ tage  of  Shen  Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  kindness  and  good  fortune.  She  decides  to  cre-­ ate  an  alter  ego,  a  male  cousin,  Shui  Ta,  to  defend  herself.  At  the  ending  of  the  play,  Shen  Te  directly  addresses  the  audience  and  asks  them  to  use  their  own  judgment  to  determine  how  a  good  person  can  ultimately  survive  in  a  world  that  contains  VHOÂżVKQHVV DQG HYLO Brecht  employed  unusual  techniques  such  as  this,  and  he  also  created  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;jerky,  episodic  ef-­ fect  by  using  short  scenes  â&#x20AC;Ś  with  frequent  shifts  from  prose  to  verse  to  song,â&#x20AC;?  according  to  the  playbill.  The  cast  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Good  Wom-­ an  of  Setzuanâ&#x20AC;?  consists  of  over  25  students,  making  it  one  of  the  largest  casts  a  theatre  department  play  has  ever  had. Â

Behind  the  scenes,  three  stu-­ dents  helped  to  shape  the  produc-­ tion.  Senior  Hannah  Brosnan  de-­ signed  the  scenery,  senior  Sarah  Simmons  served  as  production  stage  manager  and  senior  Kate  Fulop  designed  the  costumes.

Designing  the  costumes  for  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good  Womanâ&#x20AC;?  was  Fulopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hon-­ ors  thesis  project  and  the  culmi-­ nation  of  her  studies  at  UVM.  ³,W LV WKH ÂżUVW ODUJH VFDOH SUR-­ GXFWLRQ DQG WKH ÂżUVW WLPH P\ GH-­ signs  have  come  to  life,  and  it  was  an  incredible  opportunity  to  take  what  I  have  learned  in  the  class-­ room  and  put  it  on  stage,â&#x20AC;?  Fulop  said.

Background  research  was  re-­ quired  for  Fulop  to  design  the  24  costumes  needed  for  the  play.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Designing  a  Brechtian  play  is  both  a  challenge  and  an  exciting  process  since  Brechtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  work  is  all  about  getting  the  audience  to  un-­ derstand  the  message  and  mean-­ ing  of  the  play,  and  the  costumes  must  help  support  and  convey  that  message,â&#x20AC;?  Fulop  said.  Fulop  had  to  take  many  as-­ pects  of  the  lives  of  the  characters  into  consideration  in  order  to  create  costumes  that  would  effec-­ tively  portray  Brechtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  the  case  of  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good  Woman,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Brecht  uses  the  story  of  a  strug-­ gling  woman  in  Setzuan  to  make  a  statement  about  the  dichotomy  of  good  and  evil  in  a  capitalist  world,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  Each  individual  characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  social  class,  religion  and  particu-­

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  Time,â&#x20AC;?  starring  Justin  Timberlake  and  Amanda  Seyfried,  tells  the  story  of  an  alternate  society,  where  people  are  programmed  to  stop  aging  at  25  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  then  their  clock  starts.  All  people  have  one  year  given  to  them  after  25,  but  the  discrepancy  between  social  classes  makes  extra  time  far  easier  to  come  by  for  some.  Time  is  the  new  currency  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  when  a  person  runs  out,  his  or  her  life  ends.  Will  (Timberlake)  barely  has  more  than  one  day  on  his  clock,  and  Sylvia  (Seyfried)  has  more  than  she  could  ever  need.

This  is  an  action  movie  that  is  packed  with  political  undertones  speaking  to  the  problems  of  our  time.  The  rich  raise  taxes  and  the  cost  of  living  on  the  poor  as  a  form  of  population  control  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  more  things  cost,  the  faster  time  runs  out.  Police  are  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;time  keepers,â&#x20AC;?  for  the  only  real  crime  in  this  society  is  stealing  time, Â

because  time  is  all  that  matters.  Time  stealing  is  typically  seen  as  a  lower-­class  crime,  but  this  movie  begs  the  question:  Can  you  steal  what  is  already  stolen.

Will  teams  up  with  Sylvia  when  he  is  given  the  gift  of  a  century  and  is  able  to  pass  through  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;time  zonesâ&#x20AC;?  to  the  wealthiest  zone.  7RJHWKHU WKH\ ÂżJKW EDFN against  the  system.  Robbing  Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  banks,  the  two  become  outlaws  of  the  best  kind:  those  that  steal  time  only  to  give  it  away  to  those  who  really  need  it.  The  rich  have  been  stealing  time  from  the  poor  and  watching  them  die  for  too  long,  and  Will  and  Sylvia  are  GHWHUPLQHG WR ÂżQG MXVWLFH At  a  time  in  America  when  issues  like  taxes  and  unequal  wealth  distribution  are  creating  huge  political  movements,  the  subtle  themes  in  this  movie  bring  to  light  an  unpleasant  reality  that  is  hard  to  ignore. Â

The rich have been stealing time from the poor and watching them die for too long, and Will and Sylvia are determined to find justice.

Sounds flourish below ground Students practice and play in basements, downtown By  Madeleine  Gibson Senior  Staff  Writer

Eleanor Krause Intro      The  independence  that  college  DIIRUGV LV LQFUHGLEO\ PDJQLÂżHG by  moving  off  campus  into  a  new  world  full  of  rent,  gas  bills  and  re-­ cycling  bin  scavengers.       Living  in  an  apartment  build-­ ing  not  named  after  a  dead  UVM  alum  pushes  you  out  into  the  heart  of  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;cityâ&#x20AC;?  everyday,  where  you  can  still  listen  and  cre-­ ate  music  outside  of  Slade   Hall Â

or  Brennanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.         The  trek  to  Higher  Ground  is  no  longer  the  highlight  of  the  semester  because  coffees  shops,  restaurants  and  neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  base-­ ments  offer  an  eclectic  arrange-­ ment  of  music  performances.  Some  of  the  musicians  in  such  venues  are  fellow  students  like  the  ones  below.

The Bumping Jones Members:  Shawn  Connolly  (vocals  and  guitar),  Eric  Fanning  (drums),  Ben  Chussid  (guitar)  and  Zachary  Zimmerman  (bass) Years  at  UVM:  Connolly  is  a  sophomore,  Fanning  is  a  senior,  Chussid  is  a  senior  and  Zimmer-­ man  is  a  junior.

Songs  you  should  hear:  The  bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  cover  of  Led  Zeppelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Lemon  Songâ&#x20AC;?  and  the  their  original  song  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ampersand.â&#x20AC;?

Thoughts  on  off-­campus  mu-­ sic  scene:  Connolly:   â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  shows  because  DJs  are  easier  to  get  into  a  basement.   That  is  our  number  one  problem.â&#x20AC;?

Where  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  see  them  next:   Zimmerman:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  â&#x20AC;Ś Â

can  I  give  out  our  number?  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  978-­853-­2170.â&#x20AC;?      The  Bumping  Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  use  the  basement  of  Connollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Colches-­ terâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  apartment  as  practice  space.  It  is  strewn  with  wires,  insulation,  and  guitars  reverberating  off  the  bass  drum.        During  the  interview  angry  neighbors  came  over  to  complain  about  the  late-­night  tunes  mak-­ ing  there  way  up  through  the  Ă&#x20AC;RRUERDUGV       According  to  Connelly,  angry  neighbors  is  just  another  fact  of  being  a  musician  off  campus.      The  four  members  met  last  year  under  the  name  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jump-­ ing  Bonesâ&#x20AC;?  but  at  the  advice  of  a Â

Year  at  UVM:  junior Her  inspiration:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  I  write  a  song,  , ÂżQJHU SLFN UDWKHU WKDQ VWUXPPLQJ ,WÂśV a  repetitive  style  that  conjures  up  a  feel-­ ing  or  mood  and  then  the  lyrics  come  IRUZDUG 7KH VRQJV DUH RI D VSHFLÂżF HPR-­ tion,  [they  are]  evocative.  Stylistically,  OLNH ,URQ DQG :LQH ÂżQJHU SLFNLQJ ÂŤ P\ thoughts  on  wilderness  â&#x20AC;Ś  dreaming.â&#x20AC;?   What  she  just  wrote:  A  song  â&#x20AC;&#x153;vaguelyâ&#x20AC;?  inspired  by  the  Occupy  movement Thoughts  on  off-­campus  music  scene:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where  are  all  the  female  musi-­ cians  hiding?â&#x20AC;?

Where  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  see  her  next:   Magliane-­ ro  on  Nov.  11  and  Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  on  Dec.  2.  Singer-­songwriter  Eleanor  Krause,  pre-­ fers  to  leave  her  music  in  its  rawest  form  with  only  her  voice  and  guitar  to  distract,  Krause  said.    When  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  at  UVM,  Krauseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  home  is  in  Indiana  where  her  motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  cello  tunes  soothe  and  her  parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  music  stu-­ dio  awaits  new  recordings,  she  said.       Here  in  Burlington,  Krause  has  been  writing  the  songs  she  regularly  performs  at  Muddy  Waters,  the  Radio  Bean,  the  Monkey  House  and,  formerly,  Parima,  Krause  said.  Â

Aaron Levison Year  at  UVM:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;sophomore-­juniorâ&#x20AC;?

What  he  does:  Raps  solo  and  with  Erik  Jefferis  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Down  A  Third.â&#x20AC;?

Where  he  played  this  weekend:  On  The  Rise  Bakery,  Richmond,  VT  and  Burl-­ ingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Red  Square Why  sweaty  basements?:   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because  Burlington  is  so  strict  about  people  under  21  being  around  venues.  Everyone  [at  par-­ ties]  is  just  dancing  and  getting  down  â&#x20AC;Ś  there  are  no  kinds  of  restraints  so  it  gets  wild  pretty  fast.â&#x20AC;?

How  he  writes:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  start  from  a  piece  of  music  â&#x20AC;Ś  music  is  so  evocative  and  I  love  be-­ ing  immersed  in  it.  I  put  it  up  really  loud,  and  then  an  image,  an  idea  will  pop  in.  I  fol-­ low  it  â&#x20AC;Ś  it  meanders  like  a  river.â&#x20AC;?      As  an  English  major,  Levisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  poetry  has  transformed  into  the  songs  he  writes  for  small  local  venues  and  at  UVM  parties,  Levinson  said.        Everything  him  and  musical  partner  Erik  Jefferis  make  is  sampled  from  old  records  they  have  found  in  old  family  vinyl  collec-­ tions,  Levinson  said.        In  his  opinion,  his  sound  is  a  parlay  into  funky  jazz,  hip-­hop  and  soul.       â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  are  more  rappers  out  in  the  Burlington  music  scene  than  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  think,â&#x20AC;?  Levinson  said.         LC  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Linguistic  Civilliansâ&#x20AC;?  lives  next  door  and  within  UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  own  sphere  is  Jacob  S,  who  opened  up  for  Mac  Miller,  he  said.         â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  a  weird  little  microcosm,â&#x20AC;?  he  said

Taylor Morse Where:   Radio  Bean,  Mon-­ key  House,  Muddy  Waters,  The  Skinny  Pancake  and  stu-­ dentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  living  rooms On  the  off-­campus  music  scene:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  feels  like  everyone  around  are  incredible  musi-­ cians  who  continually  create  â&#x20AC;Ś  they  are  everywhere,  people  who  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  usually  make  music  or  do  all  the  time.â&#x20AC;?

His  sound:  Poetry/songs  aching  to  be  out  west  or  back  in  love,  lyrics  laden  with  heavy  emotion  inspired  by  Townes Â

van  Zandt  and  folk  classics  like  Dylan.       A  junior  at  UVM,  Taylor  Morse  has  been  bringing  orig-­ inal  melancholy  blues  to  this  college  town  since  2009.       â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  music  scene  here  is  so  accessible  to  everyone,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  can  just  send  out  an  email  and  get  a  gig  in  two  weeks  â&#x20AC;Ś  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  search  too  hard.â&#x20AC;?        But  beyond  the  availability  of  music  to  students  off  cam-­ pus,  it  is  the  musicians  that Â

really  inspire  Taylor  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep  playing  so  he  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  stop,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.        Like  many  artists  restrained  to  on-­campus  living,  Morse  began  playing  open  mics  at  Slade,  and  slowly  branched  out  downtown  from  there,  he  said.       â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  played  around,  at  Slade  and  in  peoples  basements,  but  there  is  always  this  air  of,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;well  if  a  guitarist  is  present...â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Problems in Providence Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey loses two more games, allows 10 goals By  Diana  Giunta Senior  Staff  Writer

This  pair  of  losses  comes  after  back-­to-­back  defeats  at  the  hands  of  another  Hockey  East  foe,  Mer-­ rimack  College,  at  Gutterson  last  weekend.  The  Catamounts  had  entered  this  weekend  with  a  nine-­game  unbeaten  streak  against  Provi-­ dence  from  Feb.  9,  2008.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  gave  up  easy  goals  to-­ night  and  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  has  plagued  XV DOO \HDU ´ KHDG FRDFK .HYLQ Sneddon  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our  attention  to  detail,  defensively,  has  been  de-­ spicable  in  my  opinion.  It  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Â

When  the  Saints  offense  is  clicking  and  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  an  offense  that  can  keep  up,  you  might  as  well  pack  it  in.  Drew  Brees  spreads  it  around  better  than  anyone;Íž  he  has  more  tools  at  his  disposal  than  a  Home  Depot.  Darren  Sproles  in  an  offense  with  Sean  Payton  and  Drew  Brees  is  simply  unfair.  Payton  does  an  excellent  job  with  player  management,  and  everyone  on  that  team  seems  to  truly  understand  their  role  within  the  offense.  On  the  defensive  side,  they  blitzed  extremely  effectively,  and  Josh  Freeman  rarely  had  a  clean  pocket.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  extremely  excited  to  see  a  team  dominate  without  the  standard  platoon  of  early  down  back  and  receiving  back.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  exactly  what  the  Texans  are  doing  with  Arian  Foster  and  Ben  Tate.  It  reminds  me  of  the  days  Priest  Holmes  and  Larry  Johnson  dominated  behind  a  stout  Chiefs  O-­line.  Foster  and  Tate  are  both  every-­down  backs  and  deserve  to  be  1A  and  1B  on  the  depth  chart.

I  really  have  to  respect  Torrey  Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ability  to  go  up  and  get  the  ball.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  physically  gifted  and  attacks  the  ball  at  its  highest  point.  He  drew  a  pass  interference  call  in  the  end  zone  on  a  ball  he  still  caught  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  unfortunately  one  of  his  feet  was  slightly  out  of  bounds.  He  later  went  up  on  an  under-­thrown  Joe  Flacco  duck  and  snatched  it  away  from  the  corner.  Then  he  scored  the  game-­winning  touchdown.  Smith  has  the  ability  to  make  a  not-­so-­good  quarterbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  stats  look  pretty  impressive  as  he  did  Sunday.  Throw  it  up  and  let  him  get  it.

Like  the  other  two  games  we  are  featuring  this  week,  this  one  is  a  high-­powered  divisional  matchup.  The  Falcons  and  Saints  have  separated  themselves  from  the  Bucs  as  the  two  best  teams  in  the  NFC  South  and  this  game  will  go  a  long  way  in  determining  who  has  the  upper  hand  for  the  rest  of  the  season.  Atlanta  has  won  three  straight  games  and  their  only  home  loss Â

has  come  at  the  hands  of  the  in-­ vincible  Green  Bay  Packers.  New  Orleans  rebounded  nicely  last  week  after  losing  two  of  their  previous  three  games  to  Tampa  and,  surprisingly,  St.  Louis.  It  really  seems  like  the  Falcons  have  gotten  back  to  the  ground  game  and  if  they  can  keep  the  ball  away  from  Drew  Brees  they  should  be  able  to  make  a  statement  in  the  Georgia  Dome.

The  Bengals  are  a  story,  and  rightfully  so.  They  have  the  fourth-­ranked  defense  in  the  NFL  and  are  6-­2  led  by  rookie  Andy  Dalton  at  quarterback.  But  if  you  look  at  the  teams  Cincinna-­ ti  has  beaten,  are  you  really  that  impressed?  Their  most  impressive  win  was  against  Buffalo,  but  the  shine  of  that  win  is  quickly  fading  after  New  York  dominated  the  Bills  last  week.  Besides  Buffalo,  Cin-­ cinnati  has  beaten  Indianapolis,  Cleveland,  Jacksonville,  Seattle  and  Tennessee.   I  hate  to  bash  the  Bengals  for  being  6-­2  but  they  havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  played  anyone  this  season  like  the  Steel-­

ers  who,  coming  off  a  heart-­ wrenching  loss  to  the  Ravens,  are  seething.  If  the  Bengals  win  this  game  I  will  be  shocked.  An  angry  Steelers  defense  combined  with  a  rookie  quarterback  who  has  yet  to  play  in  a  big  game  does  not  bode  well  for  the  Bengals.

New York Jets vs. New England Patriots  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Sunday, Â

WA

Nov. Â 13, Â 8:20 Â p.m.

What  can  I  say  about  this  game?  New  England  is  trying  to  avoid  a  three-­game  losing  streak,  and  the  Jets  are  trying  to  extend  their  winning  streak  to  four.  Written  off  by  many  after  their  2-­3  start,  the  Jets  are  in  a  position  to  take  the  reins  of  the  $)& (DVW DQG ¿QDOO\ WDNH D VWHS toward  a  division  crown.  Tom  Brady  always  gives  the  Pats  a  good  chance  of  winning  every  game,  but  teams  that  can  pres-­ sure  the  quarterback  have  been  able  to  rattle  him.

Everyone  knows  the  Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  de-­ fense  will  play  well.  It  is  the  Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  offense  that  will  determine  the  outcome  of  this  game.  The  Jets  cannot  turn  the  ball  over  and  Â

must  score  early  in  the  game.  In  the  last  three  years  when  the  Jets  have  gotten  behind  early,  they  lose  their  ability  to  run  the  foot-­ ball  and  control  the  clock,  both  essentials  against  New  England.  Mark  Sanchez,  it  is  time  for  you  to  play  60  minutes.  If  you  can  play  consistent  and  produc-­ tive  football  for  four  quarters,  your  team  will  undoubtedly  win.  The  best  teams  in  the  AFC  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  Steelers  and  Ravens  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  have  dominant  defenses.  The  two  teams  that  have  beaten  the  Pats  in  the  last  two  weeks  hav  had  great  defenses.  The  Jets,  by  virtue  of  their  great  defense,  will  join  both  groups  on  Sunday. Â

Led  by  16  points  from  soph-­ omore  Luke  Apfeld,  Vermont  closed  out  the  preseason  play  with  a  69-­56  victory  over  Con-­ cordia  at  Patrick  Gym  on  Satur-­ day.  They  will  open  regular  sea-­ son  play  on  Saturday  Nov.  12  at  Big  East  opponent  University  of  South  Florida.   After  holding  a  three-­point  lead  at  half  time,  Vermont  strug-­ gled  to  get  going  in  the  second  half,  falling  behind  40-­35  with  about  15  minutes  to  play.  First-­ year  Four  McGlynn  was  then  able  to  score  eight  of  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  next  10  points,  surging  the  team  to  a  45-­42  lead  with  12  minutes  to  go.   )RXU ÂżQLVKHG ZLWK WR JR DORQJ with  Apfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  16.  The  team  also  got  double-­digit  efforts  from  its   captains,  senior  Matt  Glass  and  junior  Brendan  Bald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  turned  the  ball  over  too  much  and  we  had  some  defensive  breakdowns,  but  I  thought  our  guys  competed  well,â&#x20AC;?  head  coach  John  Becker  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  scored  in  the  paint,  which  is  what  we  want-­ ed  to  do.â&#x20AC;? ,Q D WLJKWO\ FRQWHVWHG ÂżUVW half,  Vermont  allowed  Concordia  WR VKRRW SHUFHQW IURP WKH ÂżHOG keeping  Concordia  abreast  de-­ spite  their  slow  start  hitting  only  WKUHH RI WKHLU ÂżUVW DWWHPSWV Vermont  dominated  both  in-­ side  play  and  bench  play.  They  outscored  Concordia  40-­22  in  the  paint,  and  won  the  rebounding  battle.  Double  digits  from  Apfeld  and  McGylnn  powered  Vermont  to  outscore  Concordiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  bench  33-­11.   Sophomore  Brian  Voelkel  had  a  game-­high  seven  assists  to Â
