ASHLEY BAILEYCollegio Reporter
Jim Johnson, recently ap-pointed athletic director at Pitts-burg State University, is eager
to be settled for once in the past six years. He and his family have moved three times in six years for job advance-ments, but says that Pittsburg
could tie them down. From 1993 until 1997, John-
son served as the compliance coordinator and men’s athletic coordinator at Tarleton State University. In 1997, he accepted a position with the NCAA, fi rst as a membership services representa-tive and in 2003, as a Division II governance liaison.
In 2003 Johnson accepted a position with the University of Central Missouri where he briefl y served as an intercollegiate ath-letics consultant before becoming the associate athletics director for development. He then held the position of athletics direc-tor at Texas A&M University-Commerce from 2005 to 2007. Currently he is serving as the commissioner of the MIAA until Sept. 3, but at night is doing his “homework” in preparation for PSU.
Johnson holds both a bach-elor’s degree in business admin-istration and a master of arts in education from Tarleton State.
Johnson and his wife, Cindy, a former athletics administrator, have two sons, Ely and Riley, ages 10 and 7.
In their spare time, which Johnson says is far and few, they spend time just being with the kids.
“We try to play some golf and really enjoy snow skiing in the winter,” he said. “Our job is not really a career. It’s a lifestyle, so we work around it as best we can.”
Former athletic director Chuck Broyles says Johnson was a good pick.
“He realizes that PSU is a great university and our athletic department is one of the most

Antelmo Beltran says he had never played lacrosse before he met Joshua James Hancock, but somehow Han-cock motivated him into being on the PSU lacrosse team.
“I didn’t know Josh for very long, but it’s not how much time you spend with someone,” said Beltran, a friend and Phi Sigma Kappa
brother. “It’s the moments you have in the times that you spend.”
The search for 21-year-old Hancock was ended Friday, Aug.
20, after a caller tipped Olathe police offi cers of a wrecked car near 151st Street and South Lone Elm Road in Olathe,
about one mile from where Hancock was last seen two weeks ago.
His car had apparently left a roadway over an embankment that left his vehicle 60 feet from the road in a tree line. Hancock died in the accident and no foul play is suspected.
Hancock, a psychology major at Pittsburg State Uni-versity, was last seen on Aug. 5 after going out with co-work-ers to JR’s Place Bar in Great
Plains Mall in Olathe. Hancock’s mother, Jen-
nifer Harnett, last saw him on Wednesday morning after he came home from work.
“We started worrying on Saturday but thought he might have gone back to Pittsburg to see friends before leaving for the National Guard,” Harnett said. “When Monday night came, and he wasn’t here, we

The student fees that come along with every Pitt State Stu-dent’s tuition keep the university running. They pay for care at the Bryant Student Health Center, memberships at the Student Recre-ation Center, and keep many clubs and organizations afl oat. They make the Pittsburg State Experi-ence more enjoyable. However, a recent Greek Leadership weekend in Kansas City, partially funded by student fees, led some students to question what was being done with their money.

Injuries and vandalism are just two of the problems that used to occur on and around campus during Shark Night each year.
“The last year Shark Night took place in Pittsburg, a student was signifi cantly injured in an altercation about a block from Broadway Street,” said Steve Erwin, associate vice president of campus life and auxiliary services. “The student was beaten almost to death and there were several similar, lesser occurrences the same year.”
Even students who weren’t injured have had their possessions vandalized. There were a variety of crimes that kept
taking place around campus. “My sophomore year when things be-
gan to get out of hand, my car was spray-painted some time during the middle of the night,” said Erin Richmond, senior in biology. “I couldn’t exactly make out what had been painted, but luckily it was able to be buffed out and didn’t ruin my vehicle.”
Richmond says Shark Night was originally set up to give the fraternity and sorority members a chance to meet each
other and see the different Greek houses. “(Potential) sorority sisters are required
to stay away from boys, booze and bars during the week of sorority recruitment,” said Richmond. “The silence would end Saturday evening at 11:59 and all sorori-ties would go out together. It was a chance for new members to meet and see the other Greek houses on campus.”

Parents, siblings, residence assistants, move-in crews and everyone in between took time on Saturday, Aug. 21, to help Pittsburg State University freshmen make the move into the dorms and start a new chapter in their lives.
Coordinated in rainbow polka dots and bright colors, beds bunked, match-ing chairs facing the TV, freshmen Karen Steele and Kristan Herrera, both double majoring in education and Spanish, got situated in their dorm room. Although some students took the option of getting a random roommate, Steele and Her-rera didn’t have to worry about meeting the person they will be rooming with; they’ve been best friends since they were 5. Yet knowing each other for 13 years doesn’t mean Steele and Herrera do everything together. Herrera decided to rush, and joined the sorority Alpha Gamma while Steele opted out of rush week.
“With my fi rst year I wanted to fi nd out more (about sororities) and see what they do,” Steele said.
Two fl oors up, Derrick Greenlee, freshman in biology, was in a different situation. Greenlee wasn’t able to track down his roommate on Facebook before he came to PSU. Even though the only thing Greenlee knew about his roommate is that he is from Kansas City, Mo., he took a positive outlook and says the situa-tion will be interesting. The only problem Greenlee had was fi tting all of his things in his room.
“This is only a fraction of what we brought,” Derrick’s mom, Gina Greenlee, said. “The closet is already full.”

From the beginning of August until the past week, there were only four days where the temperature fell below 90 degrees. Students found it hard to walk to class without sweat-ing a river, let alone to practice in full pads for three plus hours per day.
Although the weather is sometimes brutal, redshirt fresh-man linebacker Nate Dreiling says the heat isn’t unusual.
“The heat always plays a factor during camp,” Dreiling said. “This was my second year of camp and I would have to say that it was a lot hotter and more humid this year.”
Temperatures have reached over 100 degrees on the fi eld at times during the team’s preseason camp. That, coupled with the various equipment that players are required to wear, such as helmets and shoulder pads, just makes the situation worse.
“I heard that someone put a thermometer on the turf and it registered in at 125,” Dreiling said. “It feels like your feet are just melting when you run and cut on the turf.”
According to players like Dreiling, the humidity has made their practices tougher. The coaching staff is concerned with students succumbing to heat exhaustion during practice, which Dreiling says is a reason-able fear.
“There were a few players who had to sit out of a practice or two because they had lost too much weight or they were dehy-drated,” Dreiling said. “A few guys had to actually get I.V.’s so they could get some fl uids back in them.”
To help cope with the heat,
coaches changed up the sched-uling, according to Israel Masel-era, sophomore in psychology.
“For heat purposes our coaches had us practice in the morning and at night,” Maselera said. “If we had an afternoon practice it would be on the grass practice fi eld because it was a lot cooler than turf.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control’s Web site, the turf that Bradenburg Field is made from absorbs the sun’s rays and worsens the heat index.
With heat being such a big factor during practices, staying healthy and hydrated is a must.
“Our coaches gave us pe-riodic breaks,” said Maselera. “We had water girls there with water bottles to help us in the heat.”
According to a report by the CDC, more than 9,000 student-athletes suffer from heat-related issues every year.
Shea Miller, undeclared sophomore, put it all into per-spective.
“Most of the time we’re run-ning around and doing drills, so you really don’t have that much time to think about how hot it is,” Miller said. “The more you think about the heat, the more it plays a factor on you mentally.”
Eleven years after parting ways with the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, Lincoln University is back.
For those of you who aren’t conference history buffs, here’s the story:
The two went their separate ways after the 1999 sea-son when Lincoln wasn’t going to be able to fi eld a foot-ball team, which is one of the require-ments MIAA members have to meet. For the past decade the small Missouri university has been competing in the Heartland Athletic Conference, which is home to teams around the Midwest and Texas. You might be wondering how a school that couldn’t produce a varsity football team would fare in the gauntlet that is MIAA football. The answer is not too well.
The Blue Tigers are awful and, as much as I try, there is really no other way to spin it.
Their football program was less than im-pressive last year with an 0-11 record and a conference low of 6.5 points per game. So we are looking at a team that couldn’t even score a touchdown in some of their match ups. Along with a winless record and mascot that I can’t fi nd anywhere in my encyclopedia, the highlight of the Blue Tigers’ season was a 65-6 loss at home to Upper Iowa University, which posted a slightly less awful 2-9 record last season.
This isn’t good for the Gorillas. It’s great.Maybe it’s a little selfi sh of me as a fan to say
that a possible matchup against Lincoln every year would be an easy win for the Gorillas, but after a 3-6 conference record last season, I’ll take what I can get.
It’s not like the conference is going to add more games to its schedule, and if a game against Lincoln would help the Gorillas avoid playing a tougher team like Central Missouri or Mis-souri Western, it could pave an easier road to the playoffs, which last time I checked was a pretty good deal. I realize that Pitt’s football players aren’t looking to get off easy by not having to play tougher conference teams, but you have to admit that every fan likes to see a blowout every once in a while.
The one thing that doesn’t make sense to me is why a school that was ousted from the MIAA when it couldn’t fi eld a football team and was winless last year would want to join one of the biggest football conferences in Division II. Sure, it is better for the conference as a whole for the same reasons that big-name conferences like the Pac 10 and Big Ten are looking to expand. It’s more teams, more revenue, more publicity. The area where these additions could hurt the MIAA is prestige.
As in any conference we have outliers like powerhouse Northwest Missouri, which is ranked as the top team in the nation, and the historic tradition of schools like Pitt. Lincoln joining the conference from a football perspective is ridicu-lous. Dwight T. Reed Stadium, where the team plays its home games, has the smallest capacity of any public school in the conference at 3,000. The only exception being Southwest Baptist, which plays an independent football schedule and is a private college.
The Blue Tigers have two games that are technically non-conference to start the season against Missouri Western and Missouri Southern and if last season is any indication of how they will perform, they are in for a rude welcome back to the MIAA.
I mean, does anyone else think that this is ridiculous? This is going to be the equivalent of when the Mighty Ducks got whipped by that really good team from Iceland. But I don’t expect Emilio Estevez to show up and whip Lincoln into shape.
The most recent team to join our conference was the University of Nebraska-Omaha, which, unlike Lincoln, was coming off a 2007 season with a near perfect 10-1 record. And before that, Fort Hays made the jump before the 2004 cam-paign with a decent record.
I’m not saying that Lincoln isn’t going to be able to compete in other sports because it is clearly capable of doing just that. Its track team had one of the most impressive streaks going after it won fi ve straight outdoor national champion-ships every year from 2003-2007 and the men’s and women’s basketball teams will do fi ne during conference play. They have an average baseball team that shouldn’t pose any problems for the Gorillas this spring; but the one thing you have to remember is that the MIAA is predominantly a football conference, and the only thing that Lin-coln brings to the table on the football fi eld is an easy win and an opportunity to pad its opposing teams’ stats.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for conference ex-pansion and I’m actually looking forward to UCO and Northeastern State joining the conference in 2012. But the only expansion for the near future is the addition of the Blue Tigers, who I expect will head back to Lincoln after every game next year with their blue tails between their blue legs.

After getting thumped 42-13 on the Gorillas’ home turf last year, the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos are looking for redemption in this year’s season opener. The non-conference matchup will mark the be-ginning of Tim Beck’s head coaching career and will be the fi rst real test for the Gorillas as a cohesive team.
The Bronchos’ offense averaged a little over 26 points per game last year and ended 4-7 overall for the season. On the bright side, the Gorillas won’t have to worry about recently gradu-ated QB Brandon Noohi, who threw for 333 yards and a touchdown in last year’s matchup and was statistically one of the better quarterbacks in the Lone Star Conference last season. Along with losing Noohi, UCO lost 17 starters at the end of last season but they do bring 10 starters back for this year’s campaign.
Noohi made up most of the Broncho offense with 431 pass at-
tempts and 105 rushes for a team leading 3,301 total offensive yards. However, the Bronchos will undergo a drastic change at the quarterback position this year by most likely giving the nod to sophomore Ethan Sharp to lead their passing game. Sharp appeared only in three games for UCO last season and has a total of two passing yards to his name. An inexperienced quarterback like Sharp will be a prime target for the Goril-las’ pass rushers to prey on early in the game before he will be able to get into a rhythm.
Unfortunately, senior safety Alex Kuhlman and the rest of the Pitt secondary will still have their hands full trying to cover UCO’s junior WR Daniel Morrell, who grabbed seven receptions for a game high 113 yards last season against the Gorillas and ended the year with 45 grabs for 640 yards.
The Gorillas will also need to look out for WR Matt Jackson, who contributed 67 yards to the Bronchos’ receiving game in last year’s matchup.
The Gorillas’ shutdown defense on special teams will need to show up again this year after effectively dis-mantling the Bronchos’ return game for -1 yards on punts.
The Bronchos’ offense was 72 percent in the red zone, scoring with a touchdown 55 percent of the time. Although the Bronchos lose Noohi to graduation, the Gorillas no longer have the same man dropping back in the pocket for them. John McCoy took the snaps against the Bronchos last year, completing 11-20 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown during the 42-13 win. This year’s offensive captain, Jeff Smith, did see some ac-tion in that game, though, completing one pass for a long bomb of 61 yards for a touchdown. Although Smith is the more experienced of the passers this year, this away game may provide Pitt’s coaching staff a chance to evalu-ate all three quarterbacks before their fi rst home game.
Although the drama is surround-ing the quarterback position, most of the Gorillas’ offense against UCO last
year came on the ground and fl owed through Terrance Isaac. Isaac is enter-ing his senior season for the Gorillas and took the ball for a game high 21 rushes for 103 yards and an astound-ing three touchdowns. Eric Love is another familiar face who rushed for a game high 135 yards against the Bronchos last year, with an impressive 11 yards per carry average. The Goril-las’ air attack will most likely be set by Ryan Holt, Derek Fisher and Aaron Sawyer. Sawyer snatched three long passes for a game high 141 yards and two touchdowns vs. UCO last year and will be looking to build on that performance in this year’s fi rst game on the road.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Edmond, Okla., which is about a four-hour drive for those fans who want to see the Gorillas play the fi rst game of the Tim Beck era. With a new team, new coaches and a lineup of new faces in the Gorillas’ locker room, this non-conference matchup will set an important precedent for the beginning of MIAA play.
They’re back ... and worse than ever

Eggs from Iowa farms could come to table near you
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The Iowa hens at the heart of a massive recall are still laying eggs that could end up on a table near you. And food safety experts say that’s OK.
The eggs will fi rst be pasteurized to rid them of any salmonella. Then they can be sold as liquid eggs or added to other products.
Offi cials from the two farms that have recalled more than a half-billion eggs say there’s no reason not to use the eggs while federal offi cials inves-tigate the outbreak. Wright Egg Farms and Hil-landale Farms issued the recall after learning that salmonella may have sickened as many as 1,300 people.
Spokeswomen for the farms said their hens are still laying several million eggs a day. Those eggs are being sent to facilities where their shells are broken and the contents pasteurized.
Murkowski race highlightsfamily drama with Palin
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski faces a surprise, too-close-to-call primary race with a self-styled “constitutional con-servative” backed by Sarah Palin.
Murkowski’s race with Joe Miller represents the latest chapter in the long-running political saga that began when Murkowski’s father, Frank, picked his daughter — not political up-and-comer Palin — to replace him in the Senate when he was elected governor in 2002.
Four years later, Palin trounced Frank Murkows-ki in the GOP gubernatorial primary, the race that launched her start in national politics. And since then, the women have occassionally clashed, on the issue of health care reform and Palin’s decision to resign as governor last summer.
Both have denied any bad blood but that didn’t stop the potshots in this latest race.
Recovery in danger as fi rms,homebuyers cut back
WASHINGTON — The economic recovery appears to be stalling as companies cut back last month on their investments in equipment and machines and Americans bought new homes at the weakest pace in decades.
Overall orders for big-ticket manufactured goods increased 0.3 percent in July, the Commerce Depart-ment said Wednesday. But that was only because of a 76 percent jump in demand for commercial aircraft.
Taking out the volatile transportation category, orders for durable goods fell at the steepest rate since January. And business orders for capital goods took their sharpest drop since January 2009, when
the economy was stuck in the deepest recession in decades.
Separately, Commerce said new home sales fell 12.4 percent in July from a month earlier to a seasonally adjusted annual sales pace of 276,000. That was the slowest pace on records dating back to 1963. Collectively, the past three months have been the worst on record for new home sales.
The weak sales mean fewer jobs in the construc-tion industry, which normally powers economic re-coveries. Each new home built creates, on average, the equivalent of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in taxes, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
The two reports are likely to stoke fears that the economy is on the verge of slipping back into a recession. They follow Tuesday’s report that showed sales of previously owned homes fell last month to the lowest level in decades. Unemployment remains near double digits and job growth in the private sec-tor is slowing.
Poll: Local schools up, Obama ed. plans down
SEATTLE — A new Gallup Poll has found fewer Americans approve of the job President Ba-rack Obama is doing in support of public education, but they continue to have a highly favorable opinion of their local schools.
The drop in the president’s education approval ratings — as found in the random telephone poll of
about 1,000 Americans in June — mirrored the drop in his general approval rating in other recent polls, said Shane Lopez, senior scientist in residence for Gallup.
The education poll released Wednesday was paid for by Phi Delta Kappa. It found 34 percent gave the president a grade of A or B for his work in support of public schools, compared with 45 percent at the same time in 2009. The poll has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points, except for questions asked of just parents, which have a sampling error margin of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
9/11 families, othersrally in favor of NYC mosque
NEW YORK — The planned mosque and Islamic center blocks from ground zero in New York is getting a new boost from a coalition of supporters that includes 9/11 families.
New York Neighbors for American Values rallied for the fi rst time Wednesday at a municipal building near ground zero.
Talat Hamdani says her paramedic son, a Mus-lim, gave his life on Sept. 11 to save Americans and their values, including freedom of religion.
The group was started by members of 40 civic and religious organizations. It plans a candlelight vigil near ground zero on Sept. 10, the eve of the ninth Sept. 11 anniversary.
The head of the watchdog group Common Cause New York, Susan Lerner, says the controversy over the Islamic cultural center was triggered by “irre-sponsible politicians” using it as an election issue.

Writing a check for textbooks may become less of a commit-ment with the new rental option through the Gorilla Bookstore by Barnes & Noble.
Instead of having to buy a book, students may now rent se-lect textbooks for a semester. The rental program was brought to Pittsburg by Barnes & Noble Col-lege Booksellers. The company tested its rental program in 25 of its 600 college bookstores last semester before deciding to open the program to other colleges.
This semester, only 25 percent of the books required by PSU’s classes will be offered on the textbook rental program.
Steve Erwin, associate vice president of campus life and auxiliary services, says for this early in the program, 25 is a good percentage of titles to be offered.
“If the program is successful it will probably grow,” Erwin said. “There may come a day when the bookstore offers 100 percent of the books.”
PSU’s bookstore manager, Fawn Baker, says the bookstore has already seen a great response from parents and students.
“We have had an increase in sales online and in the stores,” Baker said. “I think it is because the rental program has brought in more customers.”
Textbook rentals are offered at 45 percent of the cost of a new book, while a used textbook is 75 percent of a new book’s cost. In addition to saving money, rentals also eliminate the hassle of sell-
ing books back to the store.The bookstore is renting out
new books fi rst so the cheaper used books are still available.
The Gorilla Bookstore took different steps to prepare for the
rental program. Baker said they had to connect netbooks to their system because the rentals do not check out through the register. They also had to tag books for rental and train staff to use the
new program. Although the rental program
may benefi t students, the book-store is not making extra profi ts from rentals.
“We have to rent a textbook
out for two semesters to make any profi t,” Baker said. “We brought the program in so we are able to stay competitive, keep customers coming in and save students some money.”
Students using the rental program this semester must turn their books in by Dec. 23. The bookstore will send reminders for the books to be returned. If a book is not returned, the student must pay for it at a used price plus a 7.5 percent handling fee. Rental books may be used however the student desires as long as it does not make the book unsellable.
“It’s all individualized,” Erwin said. “We don’t want students to assume that renting is the best option.”
Christie Spencer, freshman in elementary education, decided to rent this semester.
“It’s a lot cheaper,” Spencer said. “I don’t want to keep my books.”
While renting textbooks was a good option for Spencer, Kendra Johnson, sophomore in sociol-ogy, decided to buy her textbooks instead of renting.
“Most of my books are for my major, so I wanted to keep them,” Johnson said. “I bought as many of them used as I could.”
Shelby Brooks, freshman in elementary education, also decided to buy her books, but for another reason. Brooks says she didn’t trust herself to rent textbooks because she was afraid they would get damaged.
Erwin says the new rental pro-gram will be evaluated yearly to gauge its progress and determine if the program will be offered the following year. But Baker says she doesn’t see the program being taken away.
“A year ago I would have never thought we would be offer-ing a textbook rental program,” Baker said. “Who knows what the future will bring? I think the textbook rental program is here to stay.”

Sherry Moentmann, a graduate student majoring in English, and Aaron Ward, a sophomore major-ing in nursing, provide insight into the daily routine of students who commute to PSU.
Q. What are some of the chal-lenges a commuting student faces?
Moentmann:A. “Mostly what comes to mind with this isn’t ‘parking, ugh!’ I fi gure that’s deal-able, as I men-tioned above. It’s the unknown stuff like the parking lots and streets REALLY fl ood when it rains ... wear old shoes.”
Ward:A. “Sometimes there’s not really enough parking around campus.”
Ward says there have even been times when the stadium parking has been full, and that he’d like to see more brown parking spaces, especially when he sees empty blue spaces.
Q. What do new commuting students need to know?
Moentmann:A. “Once I understood the park-ing glut that happens, I can allow for it. I also have experienced that it does lessen as the semester goes on.”
Ward:A. “Re-checking times on your schedule is really important. Don’t be afraid to go up and introduce yourself to your profes-sor.” Ward says that introducing your-self to your professors and having a personal relationship with them
gets students more out of their classes.Q. What are some of the benefi ts of commuting?
Moentmann:A. “Potential larger living space. For me, it meant I didn’t have to move. I could stay where I was.”
Ward:A. “Some of the benefi ts: the com-munity. I’m from around Pitts-burg, and the community is 100 percent behind the university.”
Q. What are some of the draw-backs?
Moentmann:“For underclassmen, it’s harder to build community connections off campus, in my opinion. For graduates, time management. Drive time is time you can’t study.”

For resident assistants like Carly Andrasko, one of the perks of the job is having their own room. However, with the large infl ux of students living in Pittsburg State University housing this semester, many RAs have forfeited the privilege of not having a roommate.
“This year everybody has roommates again,” said Andrasko.
Andrasko, senior in elementary educa-tion and resident assistant in Crimson Commons, says the lack of room is par-tially the result of the Crimson Commons ongoing construction.
“Once those fi nish up, RAs won’t have roommates anymore I hope,” Andrasko said.
Melissa Beisel, assistant director of University Housing, says although they do not have offi cial numbers yet, there are obviously more students than last year.
“This year we did see an increase in the number of people who contracted for university housing and numbers just seem to be up,” Beisel said.
Biesel says the exact number of stu-dents living in student housing will not be
released until mid September. She says that although there are no
names currently on the waiting list, male fl oors are full this semester. She says she believes this is a trend not limited to PSU.
“I do think that we are seeing more and more across the country,” Beisel said.
“More schools are seeing higher enroll-ment and that is affecting housing.”
Both Beisel and Andrasko believe the increase in students is directly related to the economy.
Beisel says she believes some students may be sticking around because of dif-
fi culty fi nding jobs.Andrasko says because of the increase
in the number of students, and the Crimson Commons not being completed, they have had to convert some single rooms into doubles.
“I don’t remember that happening in the past,” said Andrasko.
Andrasko says the physical singles were originally held for students who had signed up for their own room, and that the rooms are big enough for two people.
Other accommodations have included using the showroom in Dellinger Hall as a regular dorm room, and building a new dorm, the Crimson Commons
“I think the biggest change that we did over the last few years ... was building Crimson Commons,” Beisel said.
Beisel says the Crimson Commons provides an additional 200 beds for campus housing. Although the number of students living on campus is growing, Beisel says only fi ve additional RAs have been hired.
“I don’t think it’s been a bigger deal than usual,” Andrasko said. “We still have the same number of people on each fl oor because they’re spread out pretty evenly on campus. I don’t think it’s any different than years past.”

SUNRIVER, Ore. (AP) – The Jeld-Wen Tradition is leav-ing Sunriver Resort’s Crosswa-ter Golf Club in central Oregon after a four-year run.
No one is going to miss it more than Fred Funk.
The 54-year-old Funk won the tournament, the fourth of the Champions Tour’s fi ve majors, for the second time in three years, closing with a 3-under 69 on Sunday for a one-stroke victory over Michael Allen and Chien Soon Lu.
“I really like this golf course, and I really like this area. Obviously, it’s been good to me,” said Funk, 47 under in four Tradition tournaments at Crosswater.
Funk, also the 2009 U.S. Senior Open winner, has six Champions Tour victories. He won eight times on the PGA Tour.
The former Maryland coach took the lead for good with a 15-foot birdie putt on the
598-yard, par-5 16th, then two-putted from 40 feet for par at 18 to fi nish at 12-under 276 on the Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Golf Club course.
Allen shot a 67, and Lu had a 69.
Eight players were tied or had the outright lead at some point on the back nine. When the fi nal group had fi ve holes left, 12 players were within two strokes.
Funk, who won the third Champions major of his career, began the round two strokes behind third-round leader Tom Lehman. Funk was in conten-tion throughout the day.
Funk’s 276 total is the highest winning score in the Tradition since 2002, when Jim Thorpe won at Desert Mountain at 11-under 277.
“Nobody was taking off. I thought that Tom or Bernhard (Langer) would get to 13 or 14 under, but nobody did,” Funk said. “Guess it was a testament
to how tough the golf course was playing.”
Langer, attempting to become the second player in Champions Tour history to win three consecutive majors, shot a 73 to tie for 10th at 8 under.
Lu had a chance to tie Funk at 18, narrowly missing a 40-foot chip shot for birdie.
Allen reached 12 under with a birdie at 15, but bogeyed 16.
Allen made a tournament-high 25 birdies, but it wasn’t enough to offset his play at the par-4 fourth, where he was 5 over for the week.
“I was taking three steps forward and two steps back all week,” said Allen, the 2009 Senior PGA winner.
Lehman (73) and Mark Cal-cavecchia (66) tied for fourth at 10 under.
Jeld-Wen is ending its relationship as title sponsor, and the Champions Tour is expected to announce its plans for the tournament this week.
Funk wins Tradition for second time in 3 years
DETROIT (AP) – Willie Bloomquist’s one-out home run in the 12th inning gave the Kan-sas City Royals a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.
Kansas City, which also got a homer and two RBIs from Kila Ka’aihue, rallied from a 3-0 defi -cit to snap Detroit’s fi ve-game winning streak and avoided being swept in the three-game series.
Phillip Humber (1-0), who pitched three innings of scoreless relief, got the win for the Royals and Joakim Soria got his 36th save in 38 chances.
Alfredo Figaro (0-1) surren-dered Bloomquist’s home run and took the loss.
Ka’aihue’s homer off Detroit starter Armando Galarraga lead-ing off the seventh made it 3-1. It was the second straight game that Kai’aihue has homered.
Ryan Perry allowed Mike Aviles’ leadoff single in the eighth before getting the next two batters. Tigers’ closer Jose
Valverde replaced Perry and, after Aviles stole second, gave up Ka’aihue’s run-scoring double into the right-fi eld corner. Brayan Pena followed with a double over Austin Jackson’s head to tie the game at 3.
Valverde’s streak of 24
consecutive save opportunities converted was snapped.
Detroit took a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Santiago’s two-run triple with one out scored Brennan Boesch and Ryan Raburn. Boesch led off with a double and Raburn singled. San-tiago scored when Gerald Laird followed with a RBI double.
Galarraga allowed a run on fi ve hits in 6 1-3 innings, walking two and striking out four.
Royals’ starter Sean O’Sullivan gave up three runs on seven hits in seven innings. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out one.
Notes: Detroit’s Jackson led off the game with an infi eld single. It was the sixth consecu-tive contest he reached base lead-ing off a game. ... Ka’aihue made a backhand stab to his right at fi rst on Ryan Raburn’s low liner with two out in the bottom of the eighth with the score tied 3-3 and Miguel Cabrera on second base.
Bloomquist’s HR gives Royals 4-3 win over Tigers
NEW YORK (AP) – Alabama will start this season where it ended last season.
The Crimson Tide is on top.Coach Nick Saban has the
Tide rolling the way Bear Bryant did in his day, fi rst in The Associ-ated Press preseason poll for the fi rst time since 1978.
Alabama received 54 of 60 fi rst-place votes from the media panel and 1,491 points to easily outdistance second-ranked Ohio State in the Top 25 released Saturday.
The Buckeyes, who have been ranked no lower than 11th in the last eight preseason polls, received three fi rst-place votes.
Boise State is third, its best preseason ranking, following an-other undefeated season. Under-dogs no more, the Broncos even received one fi rst-place vote.
Florida, Alabama’s Southeast-ern Conference rival, is fourth. Fifth-ranked Texas received a fi rst-place vote.
The rest of the top 10 has TCU sixth, followed by Okla-homa, which received a fi rst-place vote, Nebraska, Iowa and Virginia Tech.
The 10th-ranked Hokies face Boise State at FedEx Field, home
of the Washington Redskins, on Labor Day night in the season’s fi rst huge game.
As for Alabama, Bryant was coach the last time the Crimson Tide was the AP’s preseason No. 1. The Tide started and fi nished that 1978 season on top of the rankings, the fi rst of two straight national championships for Alabama. The only other time Alabama was preseason No. 1 was 1966, when Bear’s boys were coming off back-to-back national championships.
Saban’s Tide, led by Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, will try to make Alabama the fi rst program to win back-to-back AP titles three times. Oklahoma and Nebraska also have done it twice.
But please don’t call Alabama the defending champion at least not in front of its coach.
“What was accomplished by last year’s team has nothing to do with this year’s team. The play-ers have to understand that,” said Saban, who in three seasons has fully restored Alabama’s status as an elite program. “This team has to develop an image, an identity of its own by its performance. What was accomplished last year is just a standard for somebody
else to top.“Complacency is why the
mighty fall.”Saban has been trying to
downplay this team’s No. 1 worthiness since the morning after the Tide beat Texas 37-21 at the Rose Bowl to win the BCS
championship.Back in January he practically
was lamenting the fact that his team likely would be preseason
No. 1 in 2010, quick to point out that while the Tide’s offense would be returning most of its stars, its dominant defense was facing major turnover.
Gone are All-Americans Ter-rence Cody, Rolando McClain, Javier Arenas and six other start-ers from last season.
Stepping in will be a cast of former fi ve-star recruits and tal-ented players who will be asked to expand their roles.
“We have confi dence in our defensive players. I think it’s more a matter of knowledge and experience and maturity that the defense is going to have to develop,” Saban said.
Dont’a Hightower returns from a knee injury to fi ll Mc-Clain’s spot at middle linebacker and defensive end Marcell Dareus, the star of the BCS title game, becomes the headliner up front as long as an NCAA inves-tigation doesn’t sideline him.
“You can’t really promote guys into leadership roles,” Saban said. “I think that it’s something that sort of grows, develops and happens because of personality types and respect that other players have.”
Tide starts where it fi nished: No. 1

Bad weather is to blame for a delay in construction on a $10 million student housing project, according to university offi cials.
Several buildings in the Crimson Com-mons, including a common building with washing machines and stoves, are still being built, leaving some students unsure about where to do laundry or cook food.
Rain delays impeded contractors’ ef-forts to pour concrete, and to build other structural improvements, said Steve Er-win, associate vice president for campus life and auxiliary services. Contractors are now targeting a late September fi nish.
Some students slated to live in the Crimson Commons are temporarily staying in older housing complexes, with single rooms converted into double rooms, and occasionally, double rooms converted into triple rooms.
The new dorms are just one part of a $30 million fundraising campaign to help restore the buildings around campus. Some of the existing dorms also received upgrades this summer.

her roommate, Anastasiya Menestrina, a freshman in nursing, on Facebook before move-in day. Although Bow-man and Menestrina were meeting in person for the fi rst time they were both excited for the college experi-ence and agree that their computers were the most important things in their room.
“I can do pretty much anything on it,” Bowman said. “And it has Facebook.”
Down a fl oor, Zach Bendure, fresh-man in criminal justice, unpacked with the help of his parents, grand-mother, brother and family friends who Bendure said might as well be family. Although Bendure’s roommate had not yet moved in, Bendure said he has met him on Facebook and was at ease about meeting him in person. As he got situated, Bendure said he was content with the dorms.
“I like it,” Bendure said. “I wouldn’t change anything.”
Down the hallway, Chase Latham, freshman in prelaw, organized what he considers the most important thing in his room - his shoes. Latham was eager to meet new people and join the college experience and his shoes are a big part of that.
“Your feet always have to look
good when you go out,” Latham said.Meanwhile, Latham’s roommate,
Scott Fashimpaur, freshman in wood technology, set up one of his favor-ite things, his X-Box. Fashimpaur’s hometown is more than six hours away in The Colony, Texas. He came to PSU because of his major.
“(PSU) is the only place that offers my major,” Fashimpaur said. “I’m excited to learn about it.”
While residents moved into the dorm, residence assistant James Or-son, sophomore in chemistry, helped check people in. Orson said he enjoys helping move in because he gets to meet new people and watch mov-ers do entertaining things, like go through a door and around it just to go up the stairs. Orson and his fellow RAs agree on one thing when offering advice.
“Keep your doors open when you’re in your room,” Orson said. “It helps you meet new people.”
Whether the move-in crew con-sisted of family, PSU volunteers, or both, freshmen on move-in day are already thinking about the future.
“I’m excited to learn about my ma-jor,” Bendure said. “I’m just worried about going to the right classes at the right time.”

Richmond added that the girls spent only about 15 to 20 minutes at each house. After touring the houses they hung out at whichever house they felt comfortable going back to. The older sorority members watched out for the incoming soror-ity members to make sure nothing bad happened. However, according to Erwin, the campus authorities, faculty and staff became increasing-ly concerned about things that were taking place during Shark Night.
“We were concerned about the phenomenon of non-PSU students and things taking place,” said Er-win. “Shark Night started attracting people from other colleges, high school students and other non-stu-dents in the Pittsburg area.”
Richmond says things got out of hand when students from Fort Scott and Coffeyville community colleges began showing up. People from Wichita and Kansas City would also hear about Shark Night and show up.
“We began working with student organizations, mostly Greek, as well as law enforcement to move in
a different direction,” said Erwin. “We asked the Greeks to move to a new emporium during that week-end.”
Fall of 2009 was the fi rst year the Greeks and the university took action. While there were some arrests last year, Erwin says there weren’t as many as previous years. He credits this to the heavy police presence on and around campus. This year, instead of having Shark Night the Greek community attend-ed a leadership program at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park.
“We’re always concerned about any given weekend on campuses,” said Erwin.
On weekends such as opening weekend, homecoming and Min-ers Bowl, concerns become even greater.
“It’s important to recognize the success we’ve had in eliminating previous problems. We are proud of the collaborations of all students, as well as the Greek community and Pittsburg area community,” said Erwin.
Steve Erwin, associate vice president of campus life and auxilary services, helped organize the event after a Greek member brought up the idea last year.
“This is sort of a pilot year, where we’ll examine it and see how it went,” Erwin said.
Some students are skeptical that the student fees should go to fund what seems like a vacation for Greeks.
“It seems kind of weird to me, that we are paying for them to go and be up in Kansas City when, you know, there’s other stuff that the money could go to,” said Amy Kirkpatrick, a senior in nurs-ing.
Although at fi rst glance the leadership conference may appear unfair to some students, Erwin says that overall, this event is neither expensive nor out of the ordinary.
“If you were to look across the board at what the fee council gives to orga-nizations, you would see seven, eight hundred thousand. The whole university is represented,” said Erwin. “The funds are reviewed by the entire senate.”
The Student Government Association determines which clubs and organiza-tions receive funding and how much they receive. After the funds are given out, any extra money is put in a reserve fund. The reserve fund can be distributed to different organizations that request extra
money for costly events or activities. The Greek organizations were given $10,000 total toward the Greek Leader-ship weekend.
“We fund a lot of organizations’ activities like this,” said Erwin. “The marching band, for instance, they need money for travel, or the choir taking a trip to Ireland last semester. Those were student fees.”
Like most of the other organizations, the Greeks had to contribute most of the money for the trip themselves.
The money itself is not the issue, some students say.
“It’s not that much per student, but it’s more that the people who cause . . . a lot of the trouble on campus with party-ing the fi rst week are the ones that are getting a weekend vacation so that there is less of a Shark Night,” said Jacob Winston, freshman in business.
Erwin says that while the univer-sity is taking measures to ensure that Shark Night is less of an issue, that was not the main intent for the leadership weekend.
“We have been looking for a way to bolster the Greek chapters and their jobs on campus,” he said. “These two events do intersect, but that was not our original plan.”
Erwin says it would be diffi cult to recruit enough Greek students to partici-
pate in the event once school and home-work got started, and the Greeks didn’t expect a high level of commitment for a weekend like this earlier in the summer.
“The honest reality is that it’s not accurate to put the label on the Greek organizations as the ones causing prob-lems,” said Erwin. “This is not neces-sarily a reward, as the weekend is highly regimented.”
The Greek students were driven to the event in vans at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, and returned to Pitt early the next morn-ing. Erwin says that the vans were not only a safety precaution, but a way to minimize any partying that would have taken place in Kansas City.
Makala Tullis, a sophomore in international business and a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma, said that the weekend was focused entirely on leader-ship and training workshops and that the Greeks were encouraged to stay away from partying entirely.
“That’s one thing they pounded into us over and over again,” said Tullis. “It was good, we were really focused on what they were teaching us.”
Erwin says that if the event is ineffec-tive, it will be revised.
“The fact is that this [Greek Leader-ship weekend] was in the works for a while and there will be well thought out results.”
respected in the league,” Broyles said. “PSU is very fortunate to have someone like Jim Johnson because of his background in athletics.”
Getting used to a new town can take time and Johnson says he is fortunate to have this job — in this town.
“The main thing was to come to a campus that had this kind of atmo-sphere, but was still in the MIAA,” Johnson said. “Although moving has kept us busy, we are ready to be settled in Pittsburg.”

called the police. They told us he was prob-ably with friends.”
Hancock had eaten at Emery’s Steak-house in Paola around 9 p.m. that day and rode with friends to JR’s Place, where he cashed out a tab at 1:20 a.m.
The community support was widespread and a group search of the area surround-ing the Great Plains Mall was to be held on Aug. 21, but was canceled by the dis-covery of Hancock’s body.
At PSU, Hancock was involved with the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity. Steve Chastain, senior majoring in construction management and president of the chapter, helped in the investigation. The members of Phi Sigma Kappa distributed fl iers that detailed the disappearance.
“It was kind of surreal when I heard the news that he had been found,” Chastain said. “I had to pull all of the chapter members out of conferences in Kansas City to break the news.”
A candlelight vigil was held on the Phi
Sigma Kappa front lawn on Monday, Aug. 22. According to Chastain, about 150 PSU students, faculty and friends came to pay their respects.
“He was just very outgo-ing,” Chastain said. “If he didn’t know you, you would know him for sure.”
At a fundraiser that the chapter does at the Kansas speedway to pay for dues, Chastain stated that Hancock would keep them “cracking up with the random things that he would say into the walkie-talkies we had to carry around.”
“He would be like, ‘OK guys, let’s go mini-golfi ng.’ Just spur of the moment things like that every day,” Chastain said.
Hancock was supposed to be leaving for boot camp for the National Guard at the
end of August and according to friends and family, he was excited to go.
“He was an inspiration. He was always cheerful,” Beltran, the Phi Sigma Kappa brother, said.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Koreans welcomed Jimmy Carter back to Pyongyang with smiles, salutes and hearty hand-shakes as the former American president arrived on a mission to bring home a Boston man jailed in the communist country since January.
U.S. offi cials have billed Cart-er’s trip as a private humanitarian visit to try to negotiate the release of Aijalon Gomes, sentenced to eight years of hard labor in a North Korean prison for entering the country illegally from China.
However, visits like Carter’s — and the journey ex-President Bill Clinton made a year ago to secure the release of two Ameri-can journalists — serve as more than just rescue missions. They also offer an opportunity for unof-fi cial diplomacy between the U.S. and North Korea, analysts say.
Communist North Korea and the capitalist U.S. fought on op-posite sides of the Korean War. Three years of warfare ended in 1953 with a cease-fi re but not a peace treaty, and the two Koreas remain divided by one of the world’s most fi ercely fortifi ed borders.
To this day, the U.S. stations 28,500 troops in South Korea to guard the longtime ally, a pres-ence that chafes at Pyongyang, which cites the forces as a main reason behind its need for nuclear weapons.
For more than a year, relations have been particularly tense, with North Korea testing a nuclear weapon and long-range missile technology, and the U.S. leading
the charge to punish Pyongyang for its defi ance.
The March sinking of a South Korean warship, which killed 46 sailors, has provided fresh fodder for tensions. Seoul and Washington accuse Pyongyang of torpedoing the vessel; North Korea denies involvement and has threatened harsh retaliation if punished.
With all sides digging in, six-nation nuclear disarmament talks remain stalled. North Korea wants a peace treaty; South Korea and the U.S. want an apology for the sinking of the warship.
Last year, it took Clinton’s visit to get the U.S. and North Korea talking again. Some fi ve months after journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee were seized near the Chinese border, Clinton — the last president to have had warm relations with North Korea — turned up in Pyongyang on a private jet.
Clinton was cordial but seri-ous as he met with leader Kim Jong Il, who appeared giddy at being photographed next to the former president. North Korean state media paid little attention to the two journalists he had gone to retrieve, focusing instead on Clinton.
With relations again at a stand-still, Carter’s mission to bring Gomes home could again provide another face-saving opening for contact, analysts said.
Paik Hak-soon, a North Korea analyst at the private Sejong Institute think tank near Seoul, predicted Carter would meet with Kim, and that Kim would ask
him to relay a positive message to Washington on the resumption of nuclear disarmament talks.
He said the trip has a “posi-tive” aspect, given Carter’s popularity and symbolic role in defusing the fi rst nuclear crisis in 1994.
Carter made his fi rst trip to Pyongyang when Clinton was president — a visit that resulted in a warm meeting with late President Kim Il Sung and led to a landmark nuclear disarmament deal.
“It was obvious to me when I was in North Korea that there is deep resentment of the past and genuine fear of pre-emptive military attacks in the future,” Carter said in a speech in Seoul in March. He said sanctions were unproductive and urged “unre-strained direct talks” with North Korea.
Having Carter in North Korea “could certainly contribute to U.S.-North Korean relations, as well as the nuclear talks,” said Kim Yong-hyun, an expert on North Korean affairs at Seoul’s Dongguk University. However, any diplomatic overtures would be small and unlikely to bring about drastic changes in position, he said.
Senior U.S. offi cials in Wash-ington stressed that Carter was not representing the government but was on a private mission. U.S. State Department spokes-man Mark Toner told reporters in Washington that he could not give details of Carter’s mission.
“It’s a mission to secure the release of Mr. Gomes. But we
don’t want to jeopardize the prospects for Mr. Gomes to be
returned home by discussing any of the details,” Toner said. “So
I’m not going to get into anymore details.”
Carter’s N. Korea visit may ease tensions

The Overman Student Center houses the book-store and Gorilla Crossing, but what some students may not know is that tickets and information about upcoming events are available.
These events are often planned by the student activities coordinator, the head of the student activ-ity center.
The activities council recently welcomed Eva Sager as the new activities coordinator. Her respon-sibilities include planning most of the events that students attend on campus and answering questions about those events.
Sager was formerly a student government administrative assistant. That job involved answer-ing phones, scheduling appointments, paying bills, managing accounts and handing out free Scantrons. Now she is proud to be a part of the many events students enjoy coming to.
David Adams, the assistant director of campus activities, says of her new role, “The biggest change I expect to see from her is a fresh outlook on her job responsibilities.”
Sager agrees that the job is demanding and busy most of the time.
“It is a unique role on campus,” said Sager. Event programming has been a dream and a passion for Sager.
“I get to work with some fantastic staff members that I have already gotten to know, and I make a
lot of new acquaintances across campus. I learned about the people I would work with and what the job involved,” Sager said. She decided to fi ll the position after working several jobs off campus.
The event she looks forward to planning the most is the “Safe Trick or Treat” because the children in the community will have a chance to dress up and because it is another chance for the college to do something for Pittsburg residents.
Adams describes Sager as an “outstanding leader who connects well with students,” which is Sager’s ultimate aspiration. She also looks forward to plan-ning this year’s Homecoming.
Sager replaces Edie McCracken, who, she says, was a wonderful person, and an amazing event programmer, who had strong relationships with the students she encountered.
“I know she made a big difference in a lot of lives, and I aspire to be like that,” she said. “She helped make SAC a more recognizable group on campus and had Homecoming down to a graceful, fl awless routine. I would like to continue expanding on those things.”
Currently, the only thing that she would like to change is the lack of a performing arts center. Ac-cording to Sager, enrollment continues to grow each year, so not having a venue for some of the events is
sometimes a problem. Many local residents would benefi t greatly from
a new arts center, since it would offer new events that wouldn’t have been available before, she says.
“I think it will be a phenomenal asset for both the academic side of campus and the community because we will have the opportunity to spread out a little more and there would be extracurricular benefi ts as well,” she said.
Some events already under way are the annual “Off2PSU,” which started on Saturday, Aug. 21, and end on Thursday, Aug. 26. These are events to help welcome new and returning students to campus.
Some events included a concert by Hotspur, a band from Washington, D.C., on Aug. 23, and Chapter 6, an a capella group performing at Gorilla Village at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26.
Sager has her calendar full of events like these, from Family Weekend on Sept. 17-19 to Homecom-ing on Oct. 11-16.
She expects this year to be fi lled with chances to go to events and meet old and new friends.
“The group I’m working with is amazing and eager to help in any way. I’m excited to work with them this semester,” Sager said. “I’m very lucky to be here with them.”

Sager says her position has her busy with planning campus events, answering ques-tions about those events and meeting new people.

More than fair: Students meet campus clubs, local businesses at fair

ANNA BAHRCollegio Reporter
Students passing through the Oval Wednesday were greeted by about 75 vendors participating in the annual Community Fair.
While most students strolled down the sidewalks, stopping to talk with vendors and pick up free merchandise, others stepped hur-riedly through the crowd.
An airplane temporarily drowned out conversations and music as it made a low pass over campus.
Sunlight fi ltered through the trees as a cool breeze caught the corners of vendors’ tents. Flames from the international foods booth snapped and receded, and enticing smells of freshly cooked food beckoned students toward the tent. Ryan Johnson, senior in automotive technology, says that the com-munity fair is a great information resource for incoming students.
“I think it’s a great benefi t, especially if you’re a freshman or transfer student,” John-son said. “It’s a good way to get involved in the community. One of the funnest things I’ve done is visit the international foods booth.”
The booth, which was run by student diversity groups, offered free food to students winding their way through the Oval.
Natalie Lopez, senior in math education, found one booth in particular informative.
“I guess the one that I found most useful was Vie, because it talked about issues for women,” Lopez said.
Vendors offering a variety of goods and services attended the fair.
At the SEK Urgent Care exhibit, Michele Coseus told students what medical services SEK Urgent Care can provide.
“I think it’s more of an awareness,” Coseus said. “It lets people know what urgent care is. We’re giving a lot of free stuff away.”
Aside from the medical and culinary exhibits, local radio station KRPS staffers promoted their station.
Matt Osterthun, coordinator of underwriter and listener relations for KRPS, says that the students attending the fair get an idea of how student-friendly the community is. The com-munity is 100 percent behind the university,” Osterthun said.
Local churches and Christian organizations also made appearances at the fair. Mike Trent and Evan Hurford of Cross Quest came to let students know of the organization’s presence near campus at the South Broadway Baptist Church on Broadway. “We’re here to make ourselves available to students at Pittsburg State,” Trent said. “I look forward to the fair because it gives us an opportunity to meet lots of new students.”

his is the beginning of another school year. It’s one of four (or fi ve, or six for some) years that we get to approach with the typical overstressed-carefree Jekyll and
Hyde attitude, enjoy the balance between freedom and responsibility, and discover what kind of people we are and who we want to be.
Most of us, anyway.For nontraditional students,
it can be a whole different world, and sometimes the two clash.
In several of my classes are adults ranging from early 30s to late 50s, obvious not only because of the age difference, but the difference of demeanor — a demeanor some traditional students fi nd irritating.
You see, many nontraditional students assume a role that most college students abhor — the class contributor. We traditional students, unless we are really fascinated by a topic or have a dire question, prefer to quietly take notes and learn the
material, then leave. So anyone who deviates from this norm by frequently instigating discussions or inserting comments or asking in-depth questions, well, that’s going farther into the class than most students want. After all, we have video games to play or friends to chat with or things to stress about. The people who are inclined to get to that depth often
seem to be nontraditional students.I admit that initially I was annoyed when the
classroom balance was disturbed. The professor
lecturing away, some students taking notes, some students texting, meant that all was well in the education world. When a nontrad would open his mouth with something like, “That’s interesting, because my kids have a tendency to . . .”
I would sometimes be one of the students rolling their eyes and thinking, “Let’s just move on.”
While their comments might have applied to the material, I was bored with most of their life experiences and more interested in getting things done so that I could get out. Come on, we know you have a wife and kids. You’re 45. It’s not surprising.
But when I examined why I was bothered in the fi rst place, my own immaturity surprised me. I
am suffering from more of a superiority complex (I got a chance to do college right the fi rst time) and a junior high clique problem (you aren’t one of us) than any real annoyance with the nontrads themselves.
I think that I realized someone was getting their money’s worth out of their education while I was taking notes. I was memorizing, and someone with more life experience than I had was learning. I was taking notes, and someone with no wiggle room for zoning out was making connections with the material. Even if it means I have to sit through another guy’s story about how, yes, he sleepwalks too because once his wife found him about to pee in the closet (actual story) then so be it.
Shame on me and everyone else who whispered “Shut. Up.” when a chatty nontrad spoke up yet again. These are the opportunities we have, and it’s up to each of us to take advantage of them.

Fans of the hit '90s movie “The Matrix” will absolutely adore “Inception.” The fairly signifi cant number of people who were confused by “The Matrix” will probably leave in the fi rst 10 minutes. With very few fl aws, and a complicated plot to distract you from them, it’s a ride that you should take at least once.
Creative writing students are often told that their fi c-tion cannot end with the entire story having been a dream. This movie’s ultimate goal, it seems, was to subvert this. Not only is the entire plot contained within a series of dreams, the question Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) must answer is whether his reality is the true reality. In the wrong hands, this plot would have been nonsensical.
Fortunately, writer and direc-tor Christopher Nolan under-stands character-driven stories and manages to weave Cobb’s reality-challenging plotline with Robert Fischer’s (Cillian Mur-phy) struggle to cope with his father’s death. The way these two character arcs intertwine will for-ever subvert the traditional roles of protagonist and antagonist, and will have both fi lm buffs and creative writing majors studying
“Inception” for decades to come.The fi lm did disappoint in a
few areas. The dream sequences never felt like dreams, but rather they had the alternate-reality feeling of the Matrix. The special effects were nice, but misplaced. Real dreams do more than chal-lenge traditional physics; they implant the bizarre into common settings in a way that makes the perceiver accept them, and this quality is missing from the long string of dream sequences in the fi lm.
The story also broke its own, subtle rules — arguably for the sake of plot twists, but still distracting. For instance, each character in the fi lm has a unique object they use to test reality. If
Cobb’s top doesn’t stop spin-ning, or if Ariadne’s (Ellen Page) chess piece falls the wrong way, they know that they’re dreaming. The script established early on that the characters must have a unique object that no one else has ever touched. Later in the movie, it’s revealed that Cobb’s reality checker actually belonged to his wife. Another rule is that dying in a dream wakes the characters up — until this becomes incon-venient to the plot. Then dying in a dream traps the characters in their minds for all eternity. Christopher Nolan’s explanation involves strong anesthetics, but doesn’t try to explain what hap-pens when the drugs wear off.
Of course, since the entire
movie turns out to be a dream, one could argue that these minor fl aws were all foreshadowing of the outcome. I’m rarely a fan of fi ction that exists merely to challenge a convention of story
telling. For all my criticism of these
minor fl aws, the character devel-opment and acting were so good that I didn’t notice any of this until hours after I’d watched the
fi lm. Like everyone else who’d stayed for the ending, when Cobb twirled his dead wife’s top as a fi nal test of reality, I sat at the edge of my seat waiting to see if it would fall, or spin forever.

A band clad in tennis shoes and tight jeans tunes its instruments and warms up outside
the Overman Student Center. Finally, one of them says hello to the small crowd of curious onlookers that has gathered.
The music begins. The crowd grows bigger, but the band stays relaxed. Its fi ve members eventu-ally kick their shoes off and joke around with one another through-out the performance.
Hotspur, from Washington,
D.C., played songs from its latest album, “You Should Know Better By Now” for a gathering of about 50 students.
Kirsten Wilson, sophomore in psychology, says their vibe was laid-back.
“I had literally just heard about them ten minutes ago,” Wilson said. “They sound and look amazing. I mean, you can tell if the band is going to give you something to connect to. If you can’t relate to a song, why listen?”
Another student, Sara Liming, freshman in communication, says she also enjoyed the performance.
“I heard them coming from eating in the cafeteria,” Liming said. “It defi nitely got me curi-ous. They were a mesh of sounds close to a cross between Panic! At The Disco and Owl City.”
Members of the band say they draw their inspiration from real-ity; they fi nd incidents in their lives and make them relatable to listeners. The lead singer, Joe Mach, calls their life together an “enhanced life.”
Drew Porter was driving by the concert when he heard the band playing. He stopped just to listen.
“I don’t normally listen to
this kind of music, but they have talent,” Porter, senior in commu-nication, said. “They remind me of Fall Out Boy, but more like an energetic sing-a-long.”
The event was part of the Stu-dent Activities Center-sponsored Off2PSU, a week-long welcome back to campus.
Kate Radosevich, freshman in art education, says she enjoyed the concert.
“I just bought their CD and I want to see them in the future,” she said.
Hotspur’s biggest challenges are the people who don’t like them, according to the band
members. “You can’t win them all by
yourself,” Dave Trichter, pianist and vocalist, said. “That’s the hard part.”
Trichter described their lives of touring and recording CDs as “super fast.” Their newest CD, “You Should Know Better By Now,” was the main focus of the concert. Songs like “Sold!” got the crowd dancing and singing along.
“I’m glad I heard about the concert in my dorm,” Carley Kimberling, freshman in busi-ness said. “Their sound is fun and playful.”
