Murdered
John Riedel Redstone Campus’ Simpson Dining Hall lost “critical” points on its most recent health inspection last November due to a broken dishwasher. Simpson Dining Hall received an overall score of 92 out of 100 points on its last health inspection, according to healthvermont.gov. However, the dining hall failed to pass on one item, that “food equipment and utensils must be properly sanitized,” resulting in a four point deduction. On the Vermont Health Department’s website there is a checklist of 44 items that health inspectors go through every time they inspect a food and lodging program. “Thirteen of these items are considered ‘critical’ and address areas where there is a high likelihood of illness if left uncorrected,” according to the website.

The Vermont Student Engineer of the Year award was granted to Emanuelson, who concentrated in environmental engineering during her time at UVM, according to the Nov. 19 press release. “I am very proud of the success our alumni and students are having, and of the role UVM is playing in changing perceptions of the success of women in engineering,” said Luis Garcia, dean of UVM’s College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. “It is great to be able to highlight three women engineers all at once and focus our attention on the great work and great success of women in engineering,” he said. There was a huge gap in gender in the number of engineering students in colleges, according to the press release. Women make up more than half of total college students nationwide, while only 20 percent of the engineering students are women, according to the press release. “Obviously with the three awards that three of our women alumni received, it highlights the quality of our students and how well they do in their work,” Garcia said.

FUN THINGS to do
When it snows
1. Go skiing and snowboarding. With so many mountains around Burlington, it isn’t hard to find somewhere to strap on those skis and head to the mountain for a weekend of fun. Most ski resorts and mountains in Vermont, such as Stowe, Smugglers’ Notch and Sugarbush, offer a deal on season passes to college students. In addition, if skiing is a little above your budget, there are still opportunities to get discounted day passes with events that UVM hosts, including the annual Alumni Association Ski and Ride Weekend, Jan. 30 - Feb. 1 at Stowe and Feb. 6 - 8 at Stratton. Check out the UVM Bored page for events like this happening throughout winter.

2. Go sledding. Sledding is something that probably everyone has done and is not only fun, but also free. And no one is too old for a fun day of sledding. “Nothing beats going out with a few friends and penguin sliding on any hill you come across,” sophomore Jacob Reich said. Sledding is fun, free and a great stress reliever. Grab a sled (or something flat), find a hill and have fun.

3. Go outside. Playing in the snow is a classic activity that never gets old. If you are bored with papers and homework, or you feel claustrophobic being stuck inside, just walk out the door. Bundle up to protect yourself from the freezing temperatures and grab some friends to build a snowman or have a snowball fight. These things are simple stress relievers, especially if you are feeling the winter blues from being stuck indoors.
4. Stay inside and relax.
When all else fails, nothing is more relaxing than sitting by a window and watching the snow fall. Grab yourself a hot drink and it will get even better. If you are sick of the snow by the time you walk to and from class, there is nothing wrong with wanting to stay warm inside. Sit back, relax, put on some music and know that spring will be here again soon.
ARTS “Grease” fans ready to reunite Thirty-six years since its release, only one musical movie remains at the top of the charts and still has audiences singing along - the 1978 hit, “Grease.” “Grease” enthusiasts will get a chance to relive the special sing-a-long screening at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington. The evening will consist of viewing a remastered, sing-a-long version of the and the chance to meet one of the original dancers, Sean Moran.
“At the original opening there were so many people there they almost tipped over the Greased Lightning car.” Sean Moran Moran, who is a Burlington native, will be hosting the event at the Flynn Center. Moran has been a part of several larger showings of the sing-a-long version of “Grease”, including the in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl. In Hollywood, Moran
said that the showing always sells out and the audience all know the lyrics. Not only do they sing, he said, “[but] they boo and they yell.” While the Flynn Center might not bring in the same size audience as the Hollywood Bowl does, they strive for an equal amount of enthusiasm as the larger venues. Moran said that they strongly encourage audience participation. He hopes to bring some of the Hollywood excitement to “Grease” fans in Burlington. “At the original opening there were so many people there they almost tipped over the Greased Lightning in],” Moran said. “Grease” continues to inspire such excitement because “it’s one of those cult shows,” Moran said. “[Fans] are very covetous of ‘Grease.’ [They] send me ‘Grease’ things that they’ve collected.” What’s more, Moran said, is that “Grease” fans come from all walks of life. At the Hollywood Bowl, “you can have a grandmother dressed as Sandy at 80 and then you can have a little kid dressed as Sandy at Moran said he thinks “this will be fun for the Flynn,” especially as they try to branch out and incorporate a wide variety of performances and events. “The Flynn tries to do said.

long will become an annual event. While the movie may be a new event for the Flynn Center, it has been a constant in the lives of cast members like Moran. When asked how much of his life was focused on “Grease,” he quickly responded without hesitation, “all of it.” For Moran, the musical movie “opened and still opens a lot of doors,” he said. “And it changed a lot
of lives.” Since auditioning for “Grease” after graduating college, Moran has been deeply connected to the musical movie. Even when auditioning for his roles in shows like “Private Practice” or “ER,” he was always asked about “Grease.” Moran expects “Grease” will continue to experience a high level of popularity, as

Band strives for sustainability Katie Lazarus Environmentalists “threw down the picket signs” and picked up their instruments for their New Year’s Eve performance at Higher Ground. ist for the Brooklyn-based band Moon Hooch, said the music that he makes with saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen is “a natural solution to the electronic genre”. This authentic approach translates to the band’s philosophy towards the environment. The three musicians are “comtainable solutions for the planet,” said Muschler. They are environmentalists and at the end of their shows always ask audience members who are also involved in sustainability to contact them. There are a consistent number of fans that reach out to share in the same interests as the band members. Moon Hooch’s set list is determined by a metronome that they start at the beginning of their show. This causes most of their performances to have the same order of songs. The band got its start playing for passengers on subways across the country. The names of their songs, for come from the motions used to communicate the next song to other

Other titles, such as “Song for Miguel,” which is named for the man who gave McGowen his saxophone, have to do with people in the musician’s lives. As well as continuing to make music, the group hopes to utilize Moon Hooch as a social platform in order to bring people together for
sustainable solutions. Muschler said he could not have it any other way and “needs music in [his] life.” The band members are currently working on an environmental documentary with content “in the works, depending on who [they] can interview,” said Muschler. They are still searching for a
professional interviews. The three members are all vegan. They focus on the farm-to-table movement, as well as on building eco-villages and renovating and improving existing ones, they said. Any extra money that the members have, after costs such as student loans, is used towards their environmentalist goals.
Vermont group grows in popularity Jon Zinter A local jam quartet took Higher both musically and commercially.

Buying books on the cheap STAFF EDITORIAL Every semester, students’ bags get a little heavier and their wallets get a lot lighter. High textbook prices have been a burden on students for far too long and it’s time to do something about it. The high price of textbooks severely limits the quality of education for students at UVM and across the country. Students will resort to borrowing a friend’s old book, pirating it or not even buying the book. Seven out of 10 students surveyed at 13 colleges admitted to not buying a book due to high prices, according to a study by the Public Interest Research Group Let’s outline the problem. The average student in America will spend $1,200 on textbooks every year, according to the College Board. The cost of textbooks has increased at twice the rate of inflation, which is not too far behind tuition increases, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The profit margin is generous for college bookstores, too. A little over one-fifth of the price of a textbook will go to the college store according to the U.S. News and World report. The cost is outrageous, but what’s more outrageous is how
little has been done about it. Some solutions to this problem have already started to work. At the University of Maryland, a program has been implemented to provide open-source materials to students at all 18 of their institutions, according the Baltimore Sun. The program asks professors to compile their course materials from free resources online. New organizations have started to provide free resources
to students. Companies such as Boundless.com have textbook alternatives available for free or for very little money. These companies are riding a wave of open educational resources that have spread over the internet in recent years. When it comes down to it, though, no solutions have become mainstream. Asking professors to write their own books is costly and time-consuming. Using open
possible that he will be in danger. He is publicly saying that he does not believe his child, who is half black, is safe when in the presence of an NYPD officer. Here is a man who is the face of the city, a man that the police force should believe in and look up to. Imagine you are a police officer, putting your life on the line, only to hear your mayor saying that not only does he not trust you, but that he worries his son will get hurt if he interacts with you or another officer. Because of comments like these, some police union officials have accused de Blasio of adding to a climate of mistrust between the people of New York City and the police department. Some, including me, believe that this mistrust was a contributing factor in the murders of Officers Ramos and Liu. In another interview, de Blasio identified a “rift” that must be overcome between the public and the police, saying that the “incidents” across the country highlight a problem within police forces and “there is something fundamental we have to get at here.” The “fundamental” problem
he is referring to, of course, is racial discrimination. While it is certainly true that some police officers do commit criminal acts, the reality is that the vast majority of police officers do not. In reality, the majority of police officers put their lives on the line everyday to protect the people of their city, as illustrated by the murders of Ramos and Liu. They did nothing to provoke the murderer; they were targeted simply because of the uniform they wore. The police are naturally responding to public scorn. Everything from arrests, summonses and even parking tickets has drastically dropped over the holidays. NYPD statistics show parking and traffic tickets have dropped 90 percent, and in the week of Jan. 1, only 2,401 arrests were made, compared to last year in the same time period, during which 5,448 were made. The week after New Year’s continues to show a large decline in the amount of general police activity in the city. This has been attributed not only to the current hatred of police occurring throughout the nation and fear of more public
source materials that aren’t course-specific could result in a lot of different information on a topic, confusing professor and student alike. For now, we can only urge higher education to move in the right direction. Use your friends’ books. Buy used and shop around. Use the reserve books in the library. Don’t let a backward industry ruin your education.
Mayor and police standoff Kate Lipman More than 25,000 police gathered for the funeral of Officer Rafael Ramos in New York City on Dec. 27. While the sheer number of officers that attended the funeral was newsworthy, the funeral made headlines for a moment that came during the speech made by New York City’s mayor, Bill de Blasio. When the mayor started to speak, hundreds of police officers immediately turned their backs. Why? Let me explain. In a Dec. 7 interview, de Blasio said, “With Dante, my son, very early on, we said, ‘Look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do, don’t move suddenly, don’t reach for your cell phone.’ ” On national news, de Blasio is telling his son not to trust the police; moreover, if he does happen to reach for his cell phone or make sudden movements, it is
Some, including me, believe that this mistrust was a contributing factor in the murders of Officers Ramos and Liu. resentment, but also the low morale of the NYPD created by de Blasio’s comments. I support the decisions of the NYPD officers who turned their back on de Blasio that day. Not only because of his comments expressing his fear and distrust of police officers, but also because as mayor he should be trying to support the NYPD in this time of extreme police hatred, as they are sworn to protect his city. In his ABC interview, he turned his back on the men and women of the NYPD. It makes sense that they would then turn their backs on him. Kate Lipman is a first-year Russian major.
