Skatepark plans pushed back Seniors Devin Karambelas Managing Editor Burlington skateboarders were dealt a blow last week when Seven Days magazine broke the news that the construction scheduled for the city’s new waterfront skate park would be delayed yet again. The decision to delay construction of the park until spring came after initial bidding contracts were “a couple of hundred thousand dollars” above the budgeted amount, Director of the Community and Economic Development

told Seven Days. The cost of pouring and molding concrete in the winter has contributed to the project’s delay, the article stated. Mayor Miro Weinberger said he expects estimates for this part of the project to come in slightly lower during the spring. Maven skate shop owner Brendan Foster, who has been heavily involved in the development of the new skate park with his wife and Maven coowner Trina Zide, said he was neither surprised nor disappointed to hear about the delay considering the reality of the park’s cost. “We always knew that a fall start date was going to be
iffy anyway,” Foster said. “We have to do this when it’s right, and under the ideal conditions.” While he understands that the postponement of the park is frustrating, he added that the history of the park’s development is rife with delays far longer than this most recent one. “I think people are more upset that it’s just taken this long to get here,” he said. “The lawsuit is what really held things up.” The lawsuit Foster referenced happened in 2011 when Burlington resident Alison Lockwood and District 4 Coorchallenged the development of the park on the grounds that it required an Act 250 permit. The Vermont Superior Court Environmental Decision decision after Weinberger appealed, and voters eventually approved the park in November 2012, the Cynic reported. The skate park is part of a large waterfront development undertaking known as The city approved a $6 million grant toward funding the project last November, the Cynic reported last year.

Staff works to enforce smoking restriction Lauren Giery Assistant News Editor University Libraries along with UVM faculty are attempting to clear the haze and enforce the University’s policy on smoking outside of library entrances with their Breathe Easy Bailey/Howe campaign, due smoking that continues to take place outside of the library. As a part of the campaign, faculty members stood outside Bailey/Howe and handed out information on why they think the smoking ban is important as well as offered signup sheets for students to show week of school. “In order to maintain a safe and healthful atmosphere and to remain in compliance with UVM is a non-smoking institution,” according to the UniverStatement.
This policy mandates that smoking is permitted outdoors on University property in areas more than 25 feet away from building entrances, operable windows and air intakes. “Because an overwhelming number of library patrons have asked us to do something about the second-hand smoke at the entrance, we decided to launch Breathe Easy Bailey/ Howe,” Bailey/Howe program specialist Nancy Bercaw said. The goals of the campaign are to clearly identify nonsmoking areas outside Bailey/ Howe, ensure a clean-air entrance for all, especially those with respiratory issues, and raise awareness about health and environmental implications of second-hand smoke and cigarette butts, she said. “Bailey/Howe Library hasn’t changed its policy,” Bercaw said. “We’re simply attempting to bring public awareness to the existing UVM policy.” While the blue spray-paint
and thick chalk lines are a clear reminder to students that the library is not an entrance where smoking tobacco will be tolerated, some members in the community are questioning how the smoking policy will be enforced, and if the blue zone can resist Vermont’s often inclement weather.

post ad, looking for MILF Staff Report
“UVM Seniors Seek House MILF.” This was the title of a recent Craigslist ad created by a group of unnamed UVM students that caught the attention of national news sites, and the disapproval of some University students yesterday. The full text of the ad, originally published under the “Casual Encounters” section lice Services, called “for an attractive older woman” to cook for the 10 senior males in exchange for “her pick of the men in the house to have.” By late morning yesterday, several news sites had reported on the ad including Gawker. com and the Vermont-based blog Geek Mountain State. A blogger on the latter site who goes by Andrew stated this in reaction: “Read between the lines: do work for us and us seniors get to fuck you in exchange,” he wrote. “What it shows is an utter disregard for women as people, but something to be used for pleasure.” Junior Dana Heng said she found out about the post through a friend who sent it to her that does not attend UVM. She wasn’t laughing. “If it’s a joke, it’s not that funny,” Heng said. “Yet again it’s going to give UVM a bad name when it comes to this.” Heng referred to an incident that happened in December 2011 when former UVM was forced to shut down after a controversial survey question using the word “rape” sparked local protests and national attention, the Cynic reported. There is no evidence that the Craiglist ad has any connection to UVM’s Greek community. Calling the post “offensive” and “ill advised”, University spokesperson Enrique Corredera said the administration originated with UVM students.

BSAD to market new MBA $303 million budget Katy Cardin News Editor As the number of business schools implementing sustainable programs continues to rise, UVM’s School of Business has capitalized on the University’s academic strengths and launched an MBA program in Sustainable Entrepreneurship. A Faculty Committee focused on creating an MBA that would make the School of Business better developed the eight month-long program, business school Dean Sanjay Sharma said “These Faculty Committees spent hundreds of hours reviewing successful MBA programs around the world, the market trends and how the School of Business could be different,” Sharma said. “They talked to current students and to alumni. “We then presented the program to the whole faculty of the Business School for a vote and then we presented the new program to the Graduate College, the Provost and the Faculty Senate.” start in fall 2014 and is just now opening up its application process, he said. Several things differentiate this program from sustainable programs at other universities, Sharma explained. “The program is only one year long [and] it consists of eight months of classroom learning and four months of
hands-on experiences in business,” he said. “Because sustainability is taught in all courses not only in a few electives and because entrepreneurs will be in the classroom with the faculty helping apply the conceptual and theoretical ideas to actual sustainable ventures.”
“We have just started our marketing efforts [and] we have received around 50 requests for information” Sanjay Sharma Business School Dean The program is interdisciplinary, drawing from professors in the Rubenstein School of Environmental and Natural Resources, the Gund Institute, Vermont Law School and the School of Business Administration, according to a University Communications release. “The program needs to be interdisciplinary because this and the planet,” Sharma said. “Understanding concepts of social equity, environmental footprint, environmental laws, et cetera [is] as important as running a business well.” Courses for the program include “Building the Brand of
a Sustainable Enterprise”, “Innovation, Product & Service Design”, “Entrepreneurship Leadership” and more. Sustainable Vermont-based businesses such as Ben & Jerry’s, Burton Snowboards and Green Mountain Coffee will also be a part of the program, with company leaders forming an advisory board to work with the students and faculty, the release stated. Business student and President of Alpha Kappa Psi, UVM’s business fraternity, senior Hunter Capobianco said he with the University’s “green” reputation. “The program sounds like a good way to keep students thinking green while providing them with the skills to build a career,” Capobianco said. According to an article in Bloomberg Businessweek from January, in the “2012 Best BSchool Rankings” where recent MBA graduates were asked to rank their business schools in different areas, the top three schools were the University of Michigan, Cornell and UC Berkeley. The goals for UVM’s program are to recruit between 50 and 60 students and to make the program recognizable as one of the top 10 programs of its kind, Sharma said. “We have just started our marketing efforts [and] we have received around 50 requests for information,” he said.

As the University’s supposed $7.8 million “budget gap” made local news headlines in late spring, many were left wonderwithstand lagging enrollment While these factors would have contributed to a slight drop in UVM’s general fund revenue, relatively minor cuts made to several programs and operating budgets have allowed the University to stay out of the red. The result? A balanced budget of $303 million in total exThe balanced budget included cutting around $1 million from deferred maintenance which is around $250 million in total, according to a 2012 Burlington Free Press Article, half a million from custodial services, operational cuts in academic units and cuts to the operating budgets of athletics, the UVM FY14 Proposed Budget stated.

come more selective in upcoming academic years, he said. “We had a purposeful intent to get down to 9,800 [students],” Cate said. “But we actually got fewer.” While in-state enrollment increased slightly, out-of-state enrollment lagged causing a different combination of in-state versus out-of-state student enrollment than the University witnessed in the past, he said. Because the budget is balanced on a projection of data that isn’t concrete until the add/ drop period ends, the board has to examine what the gap might be and decide how to reduce the budget based on the predicted information, he said. “It was too disruptive to cut the budget, so we used what we call “one-time money”, revenues, to balance the budget,” Cate said. The budget that the Board of Trustees came up with was adopted and put into use for FY14. Sophomore Rachel Rhodes said she is concerned about how budget cuts will affect her. “I hope they try to cut things that won’t affect the majority of the student body,” she said. “I cit] to affect my major or the classes offered to me.” The balanced budget also calls for tuition rates to increase 2.9 percent for both in-state and out-of-state students, according to the Proposed Budget. “We have to look even harder into what we have to do next year,” Cates said.

A smoke-free campaign has been enacted in order to “clear the air” around the Bailey/Howe Library. The entrance of Bailey/ Howe was once lined with students taking cigarette breaks. This left the steps littered with cigarette butts and nonsmokers to walk reluctantly through plumes of smoke in order to enter the building. Now, these same steps have been highlighted with cyan chalk in order to accent the banner that declares: “Let’s Clear the Air Here.” Last week, representatives from the library and the UVM Eco-Reps united to spread awareness about this policy, but the two served different purposes: the library encouraged the smoke-free policy on behalf of students and faculty, while the EcoReps focused solely on proper disposal of cigarette butts on behalf of the environment. The library steps now
the campaign. The Eco-Reps communicated facts on the ecological impacts of littered cigarette butts that are responsible for the deaths of millions of organisms every year. “We aren’t trying to be the ‘smoking police,’” Eco-Rep senior Brittany Kelleher explained. “We are just trying to promote environmental responsibility for the sake of a healthier planet.” It is estimated that 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered globally each year, according to the Ocean Conservancy. The reception of the campaign has been one of controversy. It was clear that some of the passersby were thrilled that they were able to breathe with ease as they passed through the library’s corridor. But the end of a popular smoking spot on campus did provoke a minimal amount of student distaste. If the campaign maintains its effectiveness, it is possible other areas on campus will follow a similar course and move toward President Tom Sullivan’s proposal of a tobacco-free campus.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
U.S. profits from students UN’s failure to unite BIANCA MOHN
What two words strike the upmost fear in college students? year orientation — it is the dreaded student loans. In case you fell behind on the news this summer, student loan reform has been stampeding through the press. On July 1, the interest rate on student loans doubled after Congress failed to meet the deadline to prevent the rates from increasing. Partisan squabbling ensued for over a month until action was taken and compromises were made, illustrating yet another example of Congress’ sheer dis regard for timeliness. In 2007, Congress lowered the interest rates on Stafford loans to 3.4 percent. Stafford loans are for students enrolled in higher education institutions and are aptly named after Ver mont’s own Robert Stafford, a governor, senator and U.S. rep resentative from Rutland. Problems continued when the lowered rates were set to expire last year, but due to the presidential election the debate of whether to continue the cuts was put off until this year when matters went awry.
In a culmination of the de bates, speculation and eventu

The impotency of the UN has long been proven, but what about NATO? Britain has been dying for a long time now but its recent decision clearly shows that it has already curled up and died. Where is the integrity and morality of the world’s super powers? How can we sit by and watch as women and children are butchered with impunity day after day? Why is there a UN (besides to rape underage Africans and Asians and to con demn Israel)?
Obama signed the student loan interest rate compromise into law, thereby lowering the fed eral student loan rate from 6.8 percent to 3.86 percent. While a reduction from 6.8 percent to 3.86 percent is sub stantial, one must not forget the magnitude of the larger issue at hand.
Not only is college frighteningly expensive, but the government also has a profit incentive in providing student loans. The average college gradu ate’s debt in 2012 was $26,000, The Atlantic reported. Addition ally, a study by the Department of Education revealed that 57 percent of students receive fed eral assistance, while 41 percent of all undergrads had taken out loans for their education. While the media rushed to praise the results of the interest rate reduction for students, the fact remains that higher educa tion is becoming less accessible to the general population.

News gets harder to trust
CAROLINE DECUNZO
Is it time to give up on news? Journalism has been taking some hard hits recently. As I’m writing this article, the New York Times website is still down, from what’s believed to be a hack job by the Syrian Electronic Army. Earlier this month, David Miranda, partner of Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald, was illegally detained in Lon don’s Heathrow airport for nine hours by the British govern ment. Following that incident, it was released that under extreme legal pressure by the British government, The Guardian de stroyed the hard drives of the computers containing the docu ments Edward Snowden had en trusted to Greenwald. How can we maintain jour nalistic integrity in a society that prospers on the deliberate withholding of vast quantities of information in the name of security? We’ve reached a point where an individual attempting to share factual information for the good of the public is in custody under a charge of potential ter
rorism. Terrorism is a blanket threat that allows those with power to terrorize those with the poten tial to uncover them. I can’t help but think that out of all the times to have depend able reporting and news, now is the time of upmost importance. With climate change on the rise, food insecurity globally leading to political protests, so cial upheaval and economic in stability, it seems paramount to have an understanding of the global challenges at hand. The feasibility of journalistic integrity is challenged by these scare tactics geared toward maintaining innocence. Paul Lewis’ recent TED talk faced as a Guardian journalist in writing truthful and accurate stories. Using two examples, he described the untruths he had been fed by police or security of discovered to be the murders of two innocent men. In the talk, which I highly recommend watching, Lewis together traditional, profession al journalism with amateur, or “citizen” journalism. This link allowed him to come to truthful conclusions about the two cases, and also provided legitimacy to the citi zen journalists whose stories may not have been taken seri ously otherwise. It’s important to note that

We have much to fear if the individuals attempting to de liver sensitive, yet important in formation risk death not only by ernments that claim to promote freedoms of speech and press, as well as by those who openly op press dissidence. The amount of apathy I have personally seen from the American public on this issue is unnerving. The extent to which the face of blatant corruption, whether political or corporate, is simply because we have been convinced by some social force that we are powerless. I encourage my peers to ac tively promote and search for truthful news and media.

For the cost of a few Toma from safety we can at the very least put an end to Assad’s use of chemical weapons and speed up the question here? I think that Britain and France and possibly Turkey will get on line for a strike; hope fully they are just stalling until the weapons inspectors get out in order to keep a doubt as to a strike open. It seems like the Arab league should do what they can since this is their back yard, not NATO’s (except Turkey) and they do have the money. It seems very immoral and just against common sense that dictators should be allowed to gas innocent people, especially since Western forces could crip ple Assad’s air force and ability to use chemical weapons with such minimal risk.

It is not often that we place sporting events and peace together in the same category. Just a few months ago, I found myself stuck in a greenstreet-hooligan style riot in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. Newcastle FC had lost to their rival Sunderland. In the bottle-throwing mayhem that left me dazed, I began wondering if in the end this was all that sports was. I’ve come to the conclusion that it isn’t. As much as sports embody moments of violent competition, there have been countless stories across bursts. The equalizing effect of sports is evident when two gether. On one hand they are harsh rivals, but on the other, each team is assumed a certain amount of respect. sporting events a glimpse into the greater meaning of running

While the countries battled, three decades of pent up sports playing was unleashed in a peaceful manner. Afghanistan earned the win 3-0 but it was the unity of the stands that was the more impressive feat. The hope for the match was to act as a catalyst for reconciliation to aid in easing tensions as Afghan President Hamid Karzai launches peace talks with the Taliban in Pakistan in the upcoming weeks. Pakistan and Afghanistan are only two examples of nations in which sports are used as a form of diplomacy. On many levels, sports play a fundamental role in being the grassroots form of change in fostering peaceful relations. The organization The Open
Fun Football Schools is a space where young individuals and coaches can interact in post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina. The program has been implemented as a tool to encourage cooperation amongst former-Yugoslav nation-states. Since soccer is such a universally recognized sport amongst youth in the Balkans, using it for international diplomacy has become a large area of interest. This past March, Croatia and Serbia played one another break-up of Yugoslavia and the war that followed it. Valiant strides were made on match-day for peace. While tensions held high with violent chanting, both teams rose above to become an example for the rest. Igor Stimac, manager of the Croatian national football team, said, “It sends a very clear message. Let’s forget the past, we have a great future. We cannot build a future on the past.” From the Middle East to Eastern Europe, sports are playing an increasingly important role in fostering international relations. While it is only one factor in the reconciliation process, it deing events. Games are not just delegated spaces for trash talking amongst rivals, but also an arena for the beginning steps to the processes of healing and reconciliation.

Fresh face for field Colin Hekimian Assistant Sports Editor UVM athletics announced this past March that it agreed to a 20-year lease with the local minor league baseball team, the Vermont Lake Monsters, for the nership with UVM is a $1 per year rent deal, to last for the next 20 years. Originally known as the Jamestown Expos, based out of Jamestown, NY, the Vermont Oakland Athletics Owner Ray Pecor Jr., are a minor league baseball team, associated with in the NY Penn League. The team has since relocated to Burlington, where it resides today, and was renamed the Vermont Expos for 11 seasons. In 2006, the team changed their name to the Vermont Lake Monsters. Centennial Field, has been the Lake Monster’s home since $1.8 million worth of renovations. Renovations include the replacement of the former concrete general admission seating with 1,600 new permanent grandstand seating as well as ing six new seats have also been added behind home plate. “The dugouts and bullpens has made the home and visiting teams very happy,” general manager Nate Cloutier said. “As a player, you’re spending three to four hours a night in there, which isn’t a comfortable environment.” The company that installed the new seats, Lakewind Construction, also installed the new seats at Fenway Park. Other renovations to the stadium new aesthetic changes to the concourse,
an improvement of the structural integrity of the concrete and the replacement steel beams. “We had a couple of months to get this done, Cloutier said. “We worked through the winter. We had great partners that we worked with including Lakewind Construction and all the other vendors that helped us put this venue together. We’re looking at some other projects in the future. We dream big. That’s what Minor League Baseball is all about.” The Lake Monsters have also moved in the fence line in With the moved in fences, Cloutier said, “People get closer to the action, that was on our wish list for the Oakland Athletics that was granted. We’re all about providing affordable family fun and making sure a family can come out on a beautiful Tuesday evening and call this their hometown team.” “We’re lucky enough to have an owner who cares about the community and wants to make sure that this place is well taken care of and that its here for the people of Burlington and Vermont and all the surrounding community areas for years to come,” Cloutier said. UVM didn’t do any direct funding but they allowed the Lake Monsters to use the facility and only made the rent a dollar a year. Cloutier, a 2002 UVM alumni himself said, “UVM helped our cause. Without UVM we wouldn’t be where we are today. Allowing us to use the facility and help us get these things done because it is a big process to undergo all these renovations.” “It’s a way for us to show our commitment to the community and show them that we’re going to be here for years to come,” Cloutier said.

NFL Picks Week 1 Packers at 49ers Despite the loss of emerging receiver Michael Crabtree, the Super Bowl runner-ups handily take care of the Packers. Aaron Rodgers gets his, but a Jordy Nelson coming off a minor knee surgery limits the questionable defense is picked apart by Colin Kaepernick. While Kaepernick is rightly given plenty of attention for his legs, it takes away from the attention he deserves for his arm. A 98.3 passer rating, 8.3 YPA and 10:3 touchdown to interception ratio prorated over an entire season is awfully similar to Tom Brady’s 2012 numbers (98.7 passer rating, 7.6 YPA, 34:8 ratio).
For the Packers to pull out a victory, their defense will need to reclaim the tenacity of their Super Bowl campaign. Otherwise the 49ers are too deep, too good and too well coached for the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers to take home the victory.
The Pick San Fransisco: Taylor, Colin,Julia,Jake, Stu, Owen and Rory
Falcons at Saints Want to make money off a local Burlington bookie? Take the over on the points scored in this game. It will be played in the Superdome, on turf, and uninspiring defenses. Sean Payton returns, unleashing whatever it is he was cooking up during his year off. If you need a straw to break your camel’s back, former Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan takes over

as Saints defensive coordinator. Touchdown Falcons! While points are a given, the winner is a toss-up. I’m taking New Orleans because of return and a lack of trust in the Falcons winning meaningful games. Some things to watch for: Julio Jones is entering his third season — how big of a leap will he take? Stephen Jackson tries to revive his career after 2,395 carries. The New Orleans Sproles receive more carries with Payton back in the fold?

Dolphins at Browns Two inexperienced but talented teams square off in Cleveland as both try to move past the shortcomings of seasons past. Two second-year quarterbacks will try to solidify their roles in their respective franchises. It will be interesting to see what improvements they’ll make in their second season. Despite the Browns’ loss of exciting player Josh Gordon, who is working his way back from a two game suspension, I’m still leaning toward Cleveland here. I expect the Browns pass rush to make quick
of the game with a corner kick. This was the start of 7 other corner kick streak for Tigers. Four of Colorado’s seven corner kicks resulted in shooting opportunities. The Tiger’s forward Katie Uyenishi was able to get a header shot on two of the balls but both were wide of the net. Vermont’s defense caught Colorado’s forwards offside three times in the course of the game. The defensive line also blocked seven of Colorado’s 19 shots and managed to send the ball forward to record three shots of their own. After playing a little less than 53 minutes of regulation time lightning returned and the game was delayed for a second time. After a few minutes of waiting the return of play was cancelled. The game was ruled a “no-contest.” The Catamounts return to 1:00 pm in Providence, Rhode Island for a conference game vs. the Providence College Friars.

I think a few things will be true in this game: The Redskins defense will struggle to adapt to Chip Kelly’s and only team to game plan for Chip Kelly’s offense without any game tape to work off of. I also think the Redskins ground game will gash the putrid Eagles defense. If RG3 limits turnovers and keeps control of the game, my guess is that Washington will take this one at home.
The Pick Washington: Taylor, Colin, Owen, Julia, Rory, Jake and Stu
Eagles at Redskins Possibly the game with the widest range of outcomes, the Eagles travel to Washington for Monday night football. There are no shortages of question marks for this game: Will RG3 be ready coming off an ACL tear having played no preseason games? Will Chip Kelly’s offense be as otherworldly as advertised? Will to other than Desean Jackson?
