The University is mourning theloss of a fth-year student.
Kyle Coell, 23, died in Glaston-bury, Conn., Thursday. Friends anduniversity staff are rememberingthe life of a student described as adedicated worker.
He had most recently worked atFox CT as a broadcast engineerand as a volunteer reghter atthe Glastonbury Fire Department.
At Fox CT, Coell worked withnews director Coleen Marrenworking on the daily newscast atthe station.
He had a big enthusiasm forworking here and he truly lovedthe engineering aspects, which Iknow he learned at the Universityof Hartford, Marren said.
Marren rst met Coell during
location scouting for the Travelersgolf championship in Cromwelland remembers his bright smileand condent handshake.
Coell originally worked as apart-time member of the crew atFox, but a few months ago he wasoffered a full-time staff member.
He was just delighted to be afull-time member of the Fox team,said Marren.
He worked for Residential Lifeon campus, serving as a ResidentAssistant for three and a half years.
Michael Malone, the director ofthe Ofce of Residential Life, alsoremembered that great big smile.
Malone had joined ORL a yearafter Coell had been a residentassistant. On one of his rst nightsat work on campus, Coell touredMalone around the Village apart-ments.
All throughout his time at theuniversity, Malone described theirwork relationship as easy-goingand casual and Coell wouldalways be willing to ask questions.
Malone recounted Halloweenlast October, when Coell worehis reghter hat on duty.
While most residents worryabout their RA as an authoritygure, he had a sense of humorabout it, Malone said.
Along with his duties as a residentassistant, Coell devoted his timeas a general manager at the StudentTelevision Network on campus.
Ben Wilcox, the news directorat STN Channel 2, said, We wereall shocked and saddened whenwe heard the news this morning...He was close to many of us who

Dean of Students publishes
college guide bookBy Kaitlyn SchroyerStaff WriterIncoming freshman now have
a new guide to calm their jitterynerves about the biggest change intheir life: coming to college.
Susan Fitzgerald, Senior Advi-sor to the President and AssociateSecretary of the University, haspartnered with J. Lee Peters, VicePresident for Student Affairs andDean of Students, to write the thirdedition of The Everything CollegeSurvival Book: All You Need to Getthe Most Out of College Life.
We really wanted to do a book,
Peters said, its a great walkthrough of college life from startto nish.
Published by Adams Media Cor-poration, the book details everythingfrom nancial help to dealing withroommates, staying healthy andeven internships.
We added a lot of new things[in this edition], Fitzgerald said,especially about social networkingand mental health and wellness.
Using their combined 50 yearsof higher education administrationexperience, Fitzgerald and Petersconsulted with students about dif-ferent issues, including websitesand social networks that affect theaverage college students life.
We took out the outdated chap-ters such as ironing and added newchapters like safety and studentswith disabilities, Fitzgerald said.
The format is very much likethe second edition of the text andproves to be an amazing resourcefor students coming into college.
The book not only helps highschool students who are nervousabout coming to college, but alsoaided Peters and Fitzgerald in theirunderstanding of the average col-lege student.
It made us think about the infor-
mation that students really need andopened our eyes to the way we dobusiness, Fitzgerald said.
The book, which has been pro-claimed as a great gift for a highschool senior, is available on Ama-zon.com and Everything.com.

No cause has been determined yet asto what started a minorre in the Village

However, there will displace some stu-dents for an undetermined period of time.
There was reported at around 7:55 p.m.and most students were allowed back intothe building at around 9 p.m.
A resident in the apartment where there started, Lucas Dantas, said one of hisfriends came back from the gym and said,The whole kitchen was on re.
Director of the Ofce of ResidentialLife Michael Malone said that in the lastweek, four students were able to return totheir apartments. However, the ve otherdisplaced students remain in differentapartments.
Alexa Alfonso, a resident who lived
under the apartment where the
re started,said, It was all really unexpected. Myroommate and I have been living in thatapartment for the past two years and nowve weeks before we graduate wereforced to move into a quad where we dontknow really know anyone.
Despite the unexpected move, Alfonsoisnt too worried.
Im going to make the best of it, butthis honestly could have ruined the restof my senior year, she said.

I always told Kyle, You are themost accomplished 21-year-old Ihave ever met.
Malone said, Its a huge lossfor Residential Life, STN and theUniversity of Hartford.
Vice President for Student Af-fairs Lee Peters said, Kyle wasan extremely active and engagedstudent...He will be sorely missed.
Calling hours were held onSunday in honor of Coell, at the
Mulryan Funeral Home in Glaston-bury, where mourners gathered togive condolences.
In an email sent out by Peters, hisfamily requested that donations bemade to STN Channel 2 on campusor to the Thomas C. Manager Train-ing Center.
One of Coells last initiatives atthe television network was to buy
new ofce furniture.Cameron Villers, assistant chief
engineer at STN said Coells par-ents wanted him to nish what hestarted, that was the last thing hewas really working on.
Both Fox CT and STN Channel2 aired tributes to Coell on theirnewscasts.

Day of service inspires launch of new website
Spring Fling security heightened, weather permittingBy Sarah WilsonNews Editor
Spring Fling will see heightenedsecurity regarding wristbands,
guests, and safety this year.Well be tightening security sothat Spring Fling remains what italways has been intended to be: atime to have fun for our students andtheir invited guests, said PresidentWalter Harrison in a recent emailto students.
This security means studentsshould be sure they obtain theirwrist bands before participatingin any activities for the weekend.Starting at 12:00 p.m. this Thurs-day, April 13, anyone crossing thebridge between the Hartt school andE Lot must be wearing a wristband.
Furthermore, a replacement for alost or stolen wristband will be $35.
As far as student conduct during
the event goes, there are guidelinesstudents should follow.
Though the event is held outsideand the majority of people will beon the Village Lawn, no speak-ers will be allowed in apartmentwindows, or to be played outsideinto the Village. Additionally, nocans or bottles will be allowedoutdoors, while bulk containers(any container exceedingve liters)will also be prohibited.
In keeping with some regulationsthat were introduced last year,backpacks, draw string backpacks,or camel packs will not be allowedon the Village Lawn.
University furniture will alsobe prohibited from being placedon the lawn, however, lawn chairsand other non-university furnitureare allowed.
Weather wise, the forecast for theSpring Fling weekend isnt lookingincredibly bright. With the concert
moved back to the lawn, rain couldpose potential problems. However,rest assured because rain wont shutdown the music. In the event ofthunder and lightning, however, theconcert will have to be canceled forelectrical safety concerns.

More than 200 students, faculty and staff spent the dayvolunteering at various off campus locations on April 8 aspart of the Hawks Helping Hartford Day of Service.
It was Hartfords rst ever Day of Service and turned outto be a huge success. The group volunteers split into ninedifferent groups to work at nine separate sites.
We worked with a lot of non-prots off campus and wereceived amazing and positive feedback from all of themand that was fantastic, said Matthew Blocker, director ofthe Center for Community Service.
Volunteers started the day at Konover at 11 a.m. beforemaking their way to one of nine work sites. Some of thesites included Hands on Hartford Community Retreat, South
Park Inn, Village for Families and Children and RiverfrontRecapture among others.
People worked on cleaning up outside spaces, applying freshpaint, organizing indoor spaces, raking, and even spreadingnew mulch and planting owers for spring.
Blocker said that everyone was happy with the way thingsturned out and that he didnt hear any negative feedback fromany of the participants at the end of the day.
We are excited, it seems like everyone involved who vol-unteered is excited to do it again next year, he said.
All of the non-prots they worked with off campus were alsoreally excited and eager for them to come back again. Thisyears Day of Service is denitely the rst of many to come.
Not only is the Center for Community Service celebratingthe success of their Day of Service, but they are launched aUniversity of Hartford VolunteerMatch website that same day.
VolunteerMatch was conceived by Blocker as a way to moni-tor and help all of the faculty, staff, students, and alumni whowant to be involved with their community on a large scale.
The site provides quick and easy access to events that arehappening both on and off campus. The site also acts as away to keep track of all the volunteer hours a member istaking part in.
Blocker has been working with the website for a year and
half on a contract and after getting approved and the neces-sary funding the site launched on April 8.
Since the launch the Center for Community Service hasalready seen a great response. We see a lot of faculty, staffand students signing up already, Blocker said.
There were a few glitches at rst, as there is with any newwebsite. Emails sent out to about 7,000 people slowed downthe server, but since then they up and running.
Blocker said that they are about a quarter of the wayinto having people singed up on the site and they hope thatthrough education and publicity they can get everybody tocreate an account.
Not only is the site able to organize on campus and offcampus events but they can also work with different organi-zations on campus.
For example, if an organization, such a Greek organizationwas looking for volunteers for a community service projectVolunteerMatch could work with them to set up an event andsend volunteers their way.
Our goal through this program is that everybody that islooking for service learning or community service uses thissite so that every project we host is going to consistently getvolunteers, said Blocker.
While you dont have to be a current University of Hartford
student you still must have some afliation with the schoolto become a member.
Blocker also said what is so great about VolunteerMatchis that since it targets alumni as well members can searchfor projects to work with in their hometowns as well as theGreater Hartford community.

What began thousands of yearsago as an effort for parents to se-cure respectable spouses for theirchildren via matchmakers and ar-ranged marriages has continuallytransformed with time.
Newspaper personal ads morphed
into online dating forums andthen continued into actual datingwebsites geared towards singleslooking to nd love.
With the changing times and thelabel the hookup generation inmind, a group of code-savvy stu-dents at the University of Chicagohave created the very rst hookupwebsite geared specically towardscollege students.
Its like the original facebookin that you need a college emailaddress to register and begin us-ing the sites chat feature. This isin order to deter the older crowdand people outside of the intendedaudience from perusing through adsfor young men and women.
The website states that bylimiting it to specically collegestudents users can rest assuredthat those who are on this site arethe same motivated and forward-looking individuals that they are.
Eduhookup.com launched onMarch 23 to a pretty decent re-sponse from undergraduates at U
of C and has since expanded to22 more schools including Yale,Harvard, Brown, NYU and Cornell.
The site has geared itself towardsthe Ivy League scene, possiblywith the hopes of landing a fewintellectual-types some after hoursaction in a secluded corner of thelibrary.
Postings from therst few weekskept the raunchiness to a minimum,Carefree guy looking for kindredspirit to help him forget his pastand Awkward nerd looking for
bookish girl however as morestudents have uncovered the secretsociety of hookups at U of C andbeyond the website has turned intoa forbidden slur site reminiscentof the craigslist casual encounterssection.
The website was created in orderto change the age-old belief that
UChicago is a place where funcomes to die and the squirrelsare cuter than the girls and moreaggressive than the guys, accord-ing to the website.
The site began its expansionwhen it began to catch the national
medias attention. The TonightShow with Jay Leno even took ahit at the eduhookup saying, Wealready have a place where collegestudents can hook up for casual sex,its called college!
However this hasnt stopped thepopularity from growing. Althoughsome may prefer the thrill of a nightout with the hopes of scoring, thissite caters to those who prefer toschedule their one-night affairs.
The posting on the website arentlimited to one-night hookups, infact many are using the site withthe intended purpose ofnding loveor at least someone to ll a void.
Eduhookup.com hasnt reachedour campus yet but if the site con-
tinues to expand and happens tomake its way to UHa its sure toincrease the number of sexuallysatised students amongst us.
However, its fair to note that witha website aimed to help you score,a long-term relationship isnt inthe cards for those seen wanderingthrough its pages.
Hookup generation moves online

Eduhookup.com has modeled itself after Facebook and Craigslists casual encounters section in order
to help college students satisfy their sexual desires.
As the April home stretchlooms over our heads andbegins to blow swiftly by, thework students have surely putoff throughout the semestertends to become mountainousas well.
With those last minute groupprojects and scrambling to n-ish up that essay that was duetwo Mondays ago, the librarytends to become a hotter des-tination that Cancun duringspring break.
However around this time,when everyone, their bestfriend and probably even theirmothers feel theres no betterplace to get a paper done thanthe Mortensen Library, it be-comes more like a frat boysdorm room than a place meantto get homework done.
12:30 p.m. on a Tuesday ismore than likely one of theonly options for a group meet-ing time where all members
are available. So, members, ofcourse, ock to the library toutilize one of those handy col-laboration pods to complete aPowerPoint.
Its around this time on anygiven Tuesday when it becomesapparent that the facilities pro-vided by the Mortensen Librarydont necessarily accommodatestudents to their full potential.
Collaboration Pods are greattools when it comes to groupwork, but arrive any later than12:31 in the afternoon andthe four pods will surely notsatisfy the growing number ofgroups who would benet fromusing one.
This leaves the next bestoption, a regular old desktopcomputer. Do the once aroundon the bottom oor only to ndno available machines beforemaking your way up the stairsngers crossed youve beatensome other book nerd to thepunch.
Low and behold, a vacant com-puter upstairs isnt something youcome across either.
But beyond the frustration ofunavailable PCs, a more pestering,louder problem arises: its too loud.A library is supposed to be a safehaven to get work done when fel-low roommates have taken it uponthemselves to start celebratingSpring Fling a week early.
That escape becomes more ofa burden, however, when youretrying to make sense of a scholarly
article and a tour guide is shout-ing THIS BUILDING RIGHTHERE IS HAWK HALL to thegroup thats gathered around thatunnecessary topographical map.
The frequent bursts of laughteror Hey!s traveling from thoseenjoying a coffee or pastry in theDorothy Goodwin Caf dont nec-essarily compliment the questionsfrom parents of students-to-beeither.
So if the library doesnt providean adequate environment for thestudious kind, what does?
An obvious solution to these is-sues would be to simply providestudents with expanded study fa-cilities. Adding a few computers,
or even opening up rooms in otherbuildings that could be used forstudy time would be advantageous.
But until a better situation isfound, roaming the ranks of thecomputer hogs and loud-mouthedbook worms of the student con-gested library is going to have tosufce.

This column isnt about bashingSpring Fling at all; in the last fewyears thats been my task.
If anything, this column isnt aboutSpring Fling either. Rather, its a mes-
sage about being safe no matter whereor when someone decides to drink.Tuesday, University President
Walter Harrison wrote in an email tostudents,Dont be a knucklehead.
I was that knucklehead last year.Tofully explain the message of safety, Ihave to tell a personal story. Last year,I had a memorable Spring Fling for allof the wrong reasons. It started on theSaturday day of Spring Fling when Ibegan drinking at around 11:30 a.m.Simply put, I didnt stop drinking
until I vomited at a party and hadto be carried back home by friends.
From there, I was so sick that myroommate decided to call a ResidentAssistant who decided to call anambulance. I dont remember the
last few hours of my Saturday night,but I was lled in by friends. I do re-member coming to in the ambulancewhen an emergency worker asked mea few questions. I drifted in and out
of consciousness.When Inally got to the emergencyroom I was treated for my intoxica-tion. Shortly after--about three hoursafter arriving--I was released.
Nothing about this experience wasfun, at all. One, the attention I got: a lotof my friends knew about my ordeal(not just because they heard throughmy friends, but I posted about it onTwitter the next day). I went aheadand embarrassed myself more thanI really needed to.
Even as I was reassured that every-ones been there, I couldnt help butfeel that sentiment was disingenuousat best: not everyone who overdoesit goes to the hospital.
Second, it cost me a lot of grief andmoney: ambulance rides arent free,as it turns out. I paid a pretty penny inthe long run for my trip to the hospital.Hospital bills are not what I intendedmy summer job to help nance.
Ive learned a lot through thisexperience, however. Some of themare simple, no-brainer sorts of oneslike to know that at a limit and to pacemyself. Before this I had thought Iwas invincible to this sort of event,but I was obviously wrong.
There are some easy tips to followfor Spring Fling and being safe. First,dont make irresponsible choices. Ifyoure going to drink, pace yourself.Have a cup of water between drinks.
This university has been fortunateto have no serious violence duringSpring Fling in the last two years,but its worth noting that this event,despite its tradition, could go awayif one of the thousands of people whowill descend on the Village Lawnmakes a poor decision this weekend.
Still, it should be a fun weekendif people make smart decisions anddont do anything stupid.
One thing is for sure, Ive learnedmy lesson.
Lessons learned from Spring Fling Passed, No Knuckleheads

By Maxwell BaumanSpecial to the Informer
Ive spent a lot of time talking to my friends about ourtime and choices at Hartford. In every conversation acommon question crops up. It always starts off innocentlyenough with the same two words, What if? We spendhours going over the decisions that shape us. And Im notjust talking about the tough choice between chicken orbeefavored ramen. Although that choice is important in
its own respect.Im talking about questions like, What if I lived in adifferent building freshmen year?, What if I had differentroommates or a perused another major?, What if I didntjoin Greek Life? and the big one, What if I attended adifferent university?
Now when we ask these What ifs? there is alwaysa follow up question that gets to the heart of the matter,Was it worth it? That is a harder question to answer, butas with most things weve come across, the challengesbecome tougher the further we advance.
To answer this question of worth we need to look back,not just a year or four years but back almost 40 years to
when my dad, Mark Bauman, attended Hartford.The campus was a different place in 69. The residential
side was only A through F Complex and E and F were forgraduate housing. The students made sure to get theirll inCommons or the Student Union before they closed, becauseafter all, there was no market in Konover, because therewas no Konover yet. So my dad and his roommate, Mickey,took a toaster oven down into the basement of Dubois inC Complex and cooked up mini pizzas and sold them tohungry students. They called their little eatery the Hawks
Nest, and we all know what that has evolved into today.Mark was on the Student Government where helpedchampion legislation for student rights. He pushed billsthat allowed clubs and organizations to keep the moneythat they raised. Prior to this the university would take allmoney raised by any group. That triumph laid the founda-tion for the commerce we see when we walk through GSU.It also paved the way for philanthropy fundraising whichhas changed countless lives over the years.
The responsibility of planning concerts once went to theStudent Government. Mark told me about the concerts theyplanned. The one that stuck out most for me was a youngIke and Tina Turner rocking up a storm. The magnitude
of these concerts prompted the creation of the CampusActivities Team and a little yearly gathering we know asSpring Fling.
Between 1970 and 1971, Mark played on the UniversitysClub Football Team. Yes, we once had a football team.They won six games and lost only one. The teams picturehangs in the gym facing the intramural gymnasium. Notevery endeavor last forever.
After college, his roommate, Mickey and his girlfriend,now wife, Betsy, set Mark up on a blind date with June
Levitan. They didnt click at
rst but in time they warmedup to each other. Im living proof.When I was a kid, the three of us used to visit the cam-
pus. Mark pointed out the places he lived and the newbuildings that he didnt recognize. Little did I know thatthrough my fathers stories of his past, I was getting aglimpse of my future.
So when you ask your, What if? questions, know this,you wouldnt be the same person you are today if it wasntfor those choices. Our actions will reach ahead of us fartherthan we can see. As for the follow up, Was it worth it? ifyou look back knowing that you put in the effort and dideverything you could, Im sure youll nd your answer.
A glimpse of the past leads to a push for the future
Students for Democracy can make a difference on campusBy Mary Christine Fahmy
Special to the Informer
The heroic efforts of Middle-Eastern peopleto overthrow oligarchy in favor of democracyhas inspired students at the University of Hart-ford to wish for more and better democracy onand off campus.
In 1776, the populace was largely uneducatedand communication was slow. These factsnecessitated a representative form of govern-ment. But those facts dont apply anymore,not in America, and certainly not on collegecampuses.
There is no reason that student, faculty, andstaff representatives cannot submit every issueto their constituents for electronic referendums,and no reason for those representatives not to bebound by the majority vote of their constituents.
By practicing government of, by, and for thepeople of this University, well all learn how tobring more and better democracy to America.
Currently, our campus representatives aswell as our state and federal legislators canvote as they wish irrespective of what theirconstituents wish.
The state and federal legislators have grownmore responsive to lobbyists than the peopletheyre elected to represent. Our FoundingMothers and Fathers would feel betrayed.Libyans and Egyptians would reject suchperversion of democracy. Its no wonder that
students feel powerless to inuence governmentby use of reason.
A new, informal group, Students for De-mocracy, is calling upon all people at theUniversity of Hartford to come together tooverthrow apathy and oligarchy by invigorat-ing democracy.
This group seeks to make government oncampus consistent with the spirit of 1776,the literacy and technology of 2011, and theaspiration of people everywhere.
Students for Democracy invites all stu-dents, faculty, and staff to join them in makinggovernment at our University the model AdHumanitatem.
Between March 21 and April 1, 398 typicalUniversity of Hartford undergraduates (almost10 percent of the total undergraduate popula-tion) were asked the following questions:
Do you want SGA representatives to submitall issues for student referendums, and to actaccording to the majority vote? 94 percentvoted yes.
Do you want faculty senators to submitall issues for faculty referendums and to actaccording to the majority vote? 94 percentvoted yes.
Do you want the Staff Association to submitall issues for staff referendums, and to actaccording to the majority vote? 94 percentvoted yes.
Students who voted no were asked to ex-
plain their answers. The most common replieswere: I dont care. It would take too long.Students would be able to vote on issues thatdont affect them directly. Not all issuesrequire a vote. Students wouldnt be able toparticipate in discussion/debate on the issuesbefore voting. Staff would be vulnerable toreprisals for voting. Students for Democracydoesntnd these criticisms compelling. Peoplewho dont care about an issue, shouldnt voteon it, but people who do should have the op-portunity. Electronic voting is quick and easy.
Every issue is nanced by the same tuition-driven University budget and, for that reasonat least, everyone should have the opportunityto vote on every issue whether it affects himor her directly or indirectly.
No one needs to vote on issues that dontrequire a vote. Every issue should be presented
with a simple summary of pros and cons. Andthe staff must have iron-clad protection againstreprisals for voting.
Students for Democracy concludes thatthe vast majority of University of Hartfordundergraduates want more and better democ-racy on campus.
Discussions and debates might be arranged toconsider all contrary positions, and to carefullyweigh benets and potential risks.
The policy of submitting all issues for ref-erendums and binding all representatives tovote according to their constituents majority
vote might be implemented on its own intrinsicmerit.
Some other reasonable response that tsbetter as a next step might be pursued.
S t u d e n t s f o r D e m o c r a c y awaits the acceptable response(s).Students for Democracy recognizes that ourUniversity is blessed with a benevolent andsupremely reasonable ruler. This group insiststhat its call to invigorate democracy is not acriticism of his reaign, but rather a testimonyto his leadership.
The group doubts that there is a better ruleranywhere, and urges all University personnelto be grateful for the enormous good fortuneof having Walter Harrison as our President.But the group thinks American allegiance toliberty and justice for all is being stied bygovernment of, by, and for the elite.
They see Connecticut as epitomizing thistravesty. It consistently ranks among our Na-tions richest states, while its capital, Hartford,consistently ranks among our Nations poorestcities.
Economic status and scholastic achievementare more disparate in Greater Hartford thananywhere else in America. For that reason, thegroup thinks invigorated democracy is neededhere and now. Students for Democracyintends to proceed reasonable, collegially,and with good will and good humor, and itencourages all to join in this patriotic effort.

The Hartt School of Music isputting on the musical theater pro-duction Company from April 14through the 17.
The musical follows a man namedRobert, who is single and is knownfor having problems committing toa steady relationship.
On his 35th birthday, Robert,ve married couples who are alsohis best friends and three of hisgirlfriends come together at hisapartment to celebrate.
Everyone seems to be settlingdown besides Robert who clearly is
ambivalent about love and afraid ofmarriage, which unfolds through-out the show.
The play reveals Roberts rev-elations throughout the night; heis constantly wondering about hisfriends and why they are settlingdown while at the same time helearns a lot about himself and growsthroughout the two-act play.
One of the cool things aboutCompany is that it is composedof short vignettes or sketches pre-sented in no particular order butthey are all linked together by thecelebration of the protagonistsbirthday.
Company was turned into a mu-sical in the 1970s and has been on
Broadway and in London numeroustimes before coming to the Hartt
School of Music.Companys music and lyrics
were written by Stephen Sondheim,who also wrote the lyrics to otherfamous musicals such as West SideStory, Sweeny Todd and AFunny Thing Happened on the Wayto the Forum.
It has won a Tony award for bestmusical in 2007 along with bestoriginal score, best lyrics and bestdirection of a musical as well asgetting nominations for many othercategories.
The play was one of therst musi-cals to deal with real adult problemsthrough its music.
It deals with upper middle class
people with upper middle classproblems.It provides both a musical and
literary perspective that people ofall ages can enjoy.
Company is warm, sharp, amusingand frantic and it provides a won-derful expression of the complexemotional lives of everyday people.
One of the major themes runningthrough Sondheims lyrics is theuncertainty of the human spirit,which is shown throughout the songsSorry-Grateful, Someone IsWaiting and Being Alive.
Though Company is somewhatcynical through its lyrics and plot-line, it really provides what real lifepeople go through.
Company is a concept musicalwhere the songs are more of a part
of each sketch rather than forminga scene-to-scene story.
It is a true to life upper west sidestory, which caters to the mostlyyoung adult crowd. There is noorchestra, all the actors play theirown musical instruments and sing
their own songs throughout the show,which along with the short vignettesmakes the show even more unique.
The musical will be at the McCrayTheater at the Handel PerformingArts Center on the corner of AlbanyAvenue and Westbourne Parkway
in Hartford.The play begins at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday through Saturday and3:00 p.m. on Sunday. The musi-cal is sold out however unclaimedreserved tickets will be given awayve minutes before the show.

As many students are gearing upfor Spring Fling festivities, Resi-dential Life is also gearing up forone of their biggest programs of
the semester.Res. Life will be hosting their
second 21 Club on Thursday, April21, 2011. Absynth: Dark Circusis the theme for this years eventwhere residents and their guests overthe age of 21 can enjoy free drinks,food and entertainment.
There will be a dart juggler, atarot card reader as well as an il-lusionist all provided by a circuscompany, Resident Assistant EricSalaam, who is the RA in chargeof the event, said. Salaam and hisorganizers are going for a morein-your-face feel for this yearsevent, using red, black and beigeas the color palette for the club, andinevitably the costumes.
Were encouraging peopleto dress up, there will be a prizegiven to the best dressed student,Salaam said.
Last year residential life hosted a21 Club that was mainly successfuland popular among students. Salaamsaid, last years event was a moreconservative extravaganza, but stilla big hit. This year were doing amore nonconventional, take it tothe dark side approach. This yearorganizers are working hard to buildupon previous success, adding aneducational aspect to the event. Pas-sive educational programming, suchas yers, will cover sexual assault
as well as drug and alcohol abuse.21 Club will go all out with the
Dark Circus theme by offeringfree hot dogs, cotton candy, popcornand other carnival foods along with afree selection of beer and wine fromBlackbear Saloon.
Programming geared toward olderstudents is something that has onlybeen cropping up in recent years.Although this event provides freealcohol for students, planning forthe event has gone smoothly sinceits start back in January. I originallywanted are juggler, but we werentallowed [to have re in Konover],Salaam said.
Student Centers Administrationput on a Speak Easy Pub in HawksNest back in February that was alsoa hit with the 21-and-over crowd at
Hartford. The difference betweenthe Pub and the 21 Club are thehigh-brow entertainment and theoverall price.
While SCAs Speak Easy couldcost a student anywhere from twodollars (just the cover charge) and
up to two to four dollar drinks,Res. Lifes Absynth providesfood, drinks, prizes, education andentertainment all for free. This isjust another sign that the Univer-sity is getting more accustomed toprogramming that isnt just freefor freshmen.
The 21 Club Absynth VintageCircus will take place in the Ko-nover Great Room from 9:00 p.m.to midnight on Thursday, April 21.Residents must be 21 years old orolder and must present a photo I.D.

The Connecticut Center for Non-Violence hosted the memorableevent. Students from the Universityof Hartford as well as other surround-ing schools were invited to the event,but many residents in the area camejust to hear LaFayette speak.
The freedom riders were a group ofcivil right activists that rode a bus tothe south, where it was a dominantlysegregated region to go against theUnited States Supreme Court.
Victoria Christgau, Founder/Director of the Peace is PossibleChorus, opened up the night with a
speech about spreading peace amongeveryone and continuing what theFreedom Riders had started andwhat they were known for. Christ-gau then lead the Peace is Possiblechorus made up of 40 singers fromall around Connecticut.
It did not take long for the audi-ence to stand up and clap and danceto their singing.
Not one person was sitting downin the audience, and you can tell theywere all inspired through the musicof the chorus.
Christgaus voice carried through
the auditorium and spread the mes-sage of peace through song.
Following the performance, wasa showing of the two hour PBSdocumentary lm, An AmericanExperience: Freedom Riders,based on Raymond Arsenaultsbook Freedom Riders: 1961 and
the Struggle for Racial Justice.The lm takes the viewers back
to 1961 when America was experi-encing drastic changes. The storydepicts the struggles and brutalitythat African Americans sufferedthrough at this point in history.Filmmaker Stanley Nelson shows
how the Freedom Riders wouldcome together and not give up ontraveling on the bus despite facingdeath, arrest and beatings.
Various Freedom Riders includingLaFayette provided testimonialsthroughout the lm on their experi-ence and made the viewers feel as
if they were there experiencing thepain they had gone through in theirght for peace and equality.
Not once did the Freedom Ridersgive up during their six-month ghtfor their right. When the lm ended,the long wait was over to hear Dr.Bernard LaFayette speak. He waswelcomed to the stage with a mon-strous applause and singing fromChristgau. Thousands of peoplelook up to LaFayette for all that hehas and accomplished.
Not only is LaFayette a FreedomRider, he is a Civil Rights MovementActivist, minister, educator, lecturerand serves on global authority tostrategize for non violent socialchange.
He held a position on Dr. MartinLuther Kings Executive Staff. Dr.King himself appointed LaFayetteto be the National Program Admin-
istrator for the Southern ChristianLeadership Conference. WithLaFayettes experience and breakthrough for social change he nowtravels worldwide to speak as wellas organizing Nonviolence Centers.
LaFayette is a captivating publicspeaker talking in a talk-backmanner allowing members of theaudience to openly ask questions.LaFayette shared many of hispersonal experiences through thepain he suffered from as well asthe improvements in social changehe has made.
Skins creator calls it quits
By Brandon GoncalvesStaff Writer
With the controversial U.S. spin-off Skins still being aired on MTV,
creator Jamie Brittain has decidedto throw in the towel and leave thehighly successful U.K. Skins,which started it all.
Since its premiere in 2007, theseries is currently on itsfth seasonand has instantly turned into a popculture sensation.
The BAFTA (British Academyof Film and Television Arts) win-ning drama focuses on a group ofteenagers in Bristol, South WestEngland and includes racy plotlines exploring family dysfunction,sexual orientation, mental illnesses,substance abuse and even death.
Despite the shows success andfandom, not to mention it is already
set for a sixth season, Brittainsdeparture may have put the futureof the series at risk.
The network that owns the rightsto Skins and broadcasts it to view-ers seems to have already acceptedBrittains decision as they preparefor the sixth season.
A Channel 4 spokesman said, Ja-mie has decided afterve hit seriesto move on to write new projectsand we wish him well. Skins iswritten by a team of young writerswho are hard at work on the newseries which is currently in pre-production.
Brittain, who had dedicatedhimself to conveying the difcul-
ties of adolescence, also looks tothe future, leaving the show on apositive note.
He expresses, Ive just said ev-erything I wanted to say. Its timefor new writers to come forwardand portray their truth about teen-agers. Im really sad to leave, butIm condent that the writing andproduction team Ive left behindwill do an awesome job.
Current assistant producer TobyWelch and script producer Neil Du-can have stepped up toll Brittainsshoes and have been assigned tooversee the next season, however,if ratings do not improve the sixthseason could possibly mark the endof the series.
Co-creator Bryan Elsley hadalready been absent to work on theAmerican remake, which has beenslammed by critics and activists
despite it being less racy due toAmerican FCC regulations, leavingthe series in the hands of Welchand Ducan.
With the future of Skins stillup in the air, fans are beginningto prepare themselves for the endas they are left with the heavilycriticized U.S. version.
In addition, a Skinslm ap-pears to be in the works, focusingon a handful of U.K. charactersfrom the rst four seasons.
Despite the possibility Skinsmay end after such a successfulrun, fans will always rememberthe addictiveness of what JamieBrittain had created for viewers.

Francos endeavors too much for critics to handleIt seems movie star James Franco
is making entertainment headlinesweekly with his constant plunge intonew careers being dubbed a modernday Renaissance man by many talkshow outlets.
The 32-year-old actor who got hisbig break with the Judd Apatow TVshow Freaks and Geeks is prob-ably best known for his role as HarryOsborn in the Spiderman movies.
Establishing his role in Holly-wood early, Franco starred in hisrstlm Whatever It Takes in 2000and then James Dean in 2001.
However branching away fromthe movies recently, Franco iscurrently working on his Ph.D.in English from Yale University,
published a book of short stories,is starring in the soap opera Gen-eral Hospital and will co star withNicole Kidman on Broadway inSweet Bird of Youth.
With director and painter alsounder his belt Franco has been ex-tremely active in multiple aspectsoflm and art.
In his recent interview with Ste-phen Colbert on Comedy CentralsColbert Report Franco spoke hismind on the Renaissance man labelhe recently attained.
Before actually sitting down withColbert, Franco told Colbert therstquestion to ask him and said, Doyou think youre a Renaissance man
or is modern America so intellectu-ally bankrupt that anyone pursuingany cultural enrichment of any kindmakes them seem intellectual?
Although Franco jokingly tossedthe question at Colbert, his answerhad serious roots to it.
Remarking that people are skepti-cal of celebrities and actors pursuingmultiple careers or interests, Francotook a serious tone when he admittedthat critics of his work form theirown opinions based on the fact thathe is using his status to gain attentionin the elds of art and literature.
In my opinion Francos remarkthat America is so intellectuallybankrupt is a true statement.
According to Kidshealth.orgchildren ages eight to 18 spend anaverage of four hours watchingTV everyday while 50 percent ofAmerican adults cannot read on aeighth grade level.
Books and art are becoming more
and more irrelevant in todays agewhere technology is dominatingAmericans spare time.
Americans do two things reallywell, we criticize and we use con-formity to isolate individuals whoare different.
The mass media is so oblivious
to the limits of human interest thatwhen an individual nds a callingin something outside their comfortzone they begin to assume and label.
Francos full speed attitude andhunger for education and the artsis something I think people shouldemulate and use as an example of
the possibilities of the human mind.Although I dont think Franco
classies as a Renaissance man anddeserves to be in the same arena asIssac Newton, I applaud his effortsat expanding his knowledge andmaking the most of his time andinterests.

The end of another school year
at UHa is fast approaching and forseniors at the Art School this notonly means completing a portfolioof their work, but also preparing fortheir senior exhibitions.
For Bob Machuga, the reality issetting in. As a Visual Communica-tion Design (VCD) senior, Machugais preparing for his exhibition at theend of April.
Each senior must pass a rigorousportfolio review in the days leadingup to the exhibition in order to beallowed to display his or her work.
Design portfolios are important toperfect because they are how em-ployers view you. Portfolio reviewslike this take place annually begin-ning sophomore year. Each time this
happens new work is included, inaddition to revisited projects fromprevious years.
This is certainly stressful, but ex-tremely rewarding at the same timebecause it guarantees a high level ofquality. It motivates you to workharder every year, Machuga said.
Machuga honed his artistic inter-ests as a design student at a technicalhigh school in Torrington, Conn.This allowed him to develop a style,and discover what career path hewanted to embark on. He declaredhis major after completing the rstyear foundations courses of HAS.
Once senior year rolled around,it was time to start developing theideas from his proposal, due the rstday of senior year.
This proposal is what denes aVCD students senior year, witha thesis paper due in addition toteacher reviews throughout. Theresulting project is the focal pointof the VCD senior show.
After owning a hedgehog for afew years, Machuga realized howbad the packaging was for its food.This gave him an idea, and he be-gan to look into the packaging and
overall market of food products forexotic animals (like sugar glidershedgehogs, and chinchillas.)
The lack of organic options alsoplayed a signicant role in his de-cision to develop new branding as
his senior project. Expanding thisidea andlling a gap in a particularmarket has provided Machuga withample ideas and a direction for hisproject.
Fast-forward several months and
countless hours of hard work, andit became time to tie everythingtogether. This is when everythingMachuga has done really is put tothe test. Its important because thesenior exhibition is the culminating
event of your four years at HAS.Machuga now faces the last few
weeks with both excitement andhope for his nal display. All the
important details are crucial at thisstage for senior HAS students whohave to complete everything beforetheir exhibition. Each VCD studenthas developed different projects,and thus each have aspects specicto their particular designs.
For a VCD student like Machuga,this means he has to nish codingand editing a website, worry aboutdeadlines for printing all his ma-terials, and designing a functionalspace for his portion of the seniorexhibition.
The concept of commercializedarts verses ne arts is what sets theVCD exhibition apart from the rest.The presentation of their ideas isjust as important as the idea itself.
Having condence is very im-portant for the show, because atthe professional opening there arescouts from various design rmswho come specically to view ourwork. Making sure your displayis the best it can be is crucial,Machuga said.
If people like your ideas, ap-proach, and overall style, then thechances of landing a job right outof college increase.
Also generating buzz about youhelps to get your name out to thepotential clients.
After college Machuga eventuallywants to enter the retail and apparelbusiness, hopefully to contributeto designing and conceptualizingitems.
Graduate school might also bean option down the line once moreprofessional experience is gained.Overall, Machuga is excited andproud for the upcoming exhibition.
Feast Your Eyes has a profes-sional opening on Friday, April 29at 4:00 p.m. at Artspace in Hartford.The following night is the open-ing reception for the public from5-8:00 p.m.

Comedy Awards feature the best, most awkwardBy Andy SwetzEntertainment Editor
Airing Sunday night on ComedyCentral, the rst annual ComedyAwards seemed to lack any typeof credibility as every winner awk-wardly accepted their award witha joke.
A result of over 20 years of Com-edy Centrals contributions to cable,the rst awards night denitely hadits ups and downs. Beginning theshow, which taped on March 26, without a sketch or introduction, DailyShow star Jon Stewart launchedinto the night with award for BestComedy Film. Snatching the rstaward of the night was thelm TheOther Guys starring Will Ferrell,who accepted the award with aboutthirty other producers as the rstof many gags of the night.
Although the theme of the nightwas clearly centered on the legiti-macy of the Comedy Awards withjokes being hurled left and right, theevent seemed to be quite entertainingas to who would top whom with thebest material.
Will Ferrell and Adam McKaywent on to present the award forbest viral video that proved to be achange from the normal Hollywoodcomedy circle with The GregoryBrothers taking home the award forAuto-Tune the News.
The night then went on the provethat not all online comedy sensationsare equally as good live when Akonand The Lonely Island took the stagefor a hybrid version of I Just Had
Sex and Im On a Boat. Never-theless, Stephen Colbert remained incharacter and presented the award forBest Comedy Writing to 30 Rock.
Without skipping a beat Colbertcame back on stage to literally stealStewarts award for Best Late NightSeries and curse his was into a politi-cal message of If they can do it inEgypt we can do it here.
Changing gears Tracy Morganpresented the award for ComedyIcon to one of his personal heroes,
Eddie Murphy, following a two-minute montage, in which Murphyaccepted joking that the Icon awardusually goes to old people.
Probably the most surprising ap-pearance of the night was when BillMurray presented the Johnny CarsonAward for Comedic Excellence toDavid Letterman, which brought theaudience to their feet.
Also snagging awards during thenight were Tina Fey for ComedyActress in a Film, Zach Galianakisfor Comedy Actor in a Film, Mod-ern Family for Comedy Series andLouis C.K. for Stand-Up Special.Despite the fact that the night wascentered around the awkwardnessof if the award show was supposeto be taken as a joke or not, whatviewers saw of the taping was prettyentertaining.
With The Roots filling in asthe stage band and the constantstruggle between comedians to topeach other, therst annual ComedyAwards seemed to be a hit. Hopefullythe network continues the traditionof funny next year.
iPad 2 sets higher standards for tablet users, competitionBy Jeremy Stanley
Editor-in-Chief
With my iPhone in hand, I scannedthe map for a place to grab lunch inbetween basketball games.
I found a Chipoltle, went inside,and grabbed something to eat. Ichecked the phones Wi-Fi to see ifthere was a free hotspot aroundthere wasnt. No big deal. I went tothe adjacent Starbucks and grabbeda coffee; an extra jolt of caffeinewould do me good for the rest ofthe night.
I still had a game story to write,of course. I had the headline, thelede and a few quotes all set to go. Ilogged into the WordPress back-end
for the Informer and got writing onmy iPad 2.Its an easy process from getting
Apples latest entry to the tabletgame it created online and readyto compose an article.
I unfolded the gray Smart Coverso that it created an angle suitablefor typing. From there, I logged intothe Wi-Fi hotspot and got to workright away.
Within an hour I had typed andposted an article about BostonUniversitys stunning come frombehind victory over Stony Brook.
The iPad 2 didnt make thisprocess easier; in fact, it may havetaken longer since I wasnt using a
physical keyboard.Apple does have both a keyboard
dock and provides Bluetoothcapability to connect a wirelesskeyboard to the devicesomethingI did use to live blog that samegame (using the keyboard in the
cramped coffee shop was just toocumbersome).
The process wasnt easier, no, butit was way more convenient andfaster to use than the laptop I own.
I had used the original iPad whenit rst came out for about a week
and again late last year for abouttwo weeks.
Im glad I waited on owning aniPad for the long-term until thisrecent refresh.
The iPad 2 is faster and slightlysmaller. Switching in and out of
applications is a breeze, with less
than a second of inoperability be-fore being able to interact with theapplication.
On the rst-generation iPad, itwas noticeably slower.
The iPad 2 ts in a category theiPad created.
Despite not having an implicitneed that the computer and phonefulll, the iPad creates a middleground that will, in the end, servea need.
And thats importantthis devicenow does more than just help aperson consume content (its got-ten better at doing that), people cannow record a song in GarageBandor edit a video in iMovie.
The entry cost used to be around$1,000 for a MacBook or iMac, orover $500 for a Mac mini (providedyou have a monitor, keyboard andmouse).
Now someone can get an iPadand buy the $5 apps and be creat-ing content on par with their PCcounterparts.
The iPad 2 is not without itsshortfalls.
The main gripe I have is with iOSnotication system.
Its terrible, but Ive lived with iton the iPhone and the iPad, becauseiOS is far better and more maturethan any other modern tablet operat-ing system.

Jessica Rutledge (Sports Editor): How did you start MMA?Jamie Courtney: I watched it for a while and thought, hey I could
totally do this!
Biggest inspiration?The underdogs in the world; People that, despite all odds are always
going out and doing their best under the circumstances.
What holes did you see in your Premier FC5 opponents game?
My own? My ght game is like Swiss cheese - lled with holes! Onesthat I hope to ll!
If you could have one dream ght with anyone, who?Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. I feel like theyd really be a tough
combo to defeat, haha.
What is your walk out song and why did you choose it?I usually have my friends and family choose my walk out songs, I re-
ally dont hear it, my thoughts drowned out all outside sounds.
What does being a ghter mean?It means everything to me. If I give it my all then I cant fail, not just
in the cage but in life.
Jessica Rutledge (Sports Editor)Who is your biggest inspiration?Adel Lolic: The biggest inspiration in my life
is my mother, she is the hardest working personI know she raised two great kids alone, after mydad passed away. She worked 2-3 jobs for aslong as I can remember. She is the denition of
workaholic. Compared to what she had to do;working and going to school - training forghtsseems like nothing. She is the reason I do allthese things at once and try to complain as verylittle as possible about it because growing up Inever heard her complain about working hard.
What are your future goals?Grad-school for physical therapy when I grad-
uate this year. I plan on continuing to ght andseeing where the road takes me. Keep improving,keep learning and keep on going. I would liketo turn Pro soon, win a few local championshipbelts and then see if I have what it take to jumpto the big times (UFC).
What are you thinking before you step into thecage?
Tell you the truth nothing much really runsthrough my head, I am excited and I just want thepunches to start coming. Aside from that I mightcheck out the ring girl or something. I havefought at big arenas and venues with as many
at 4,000-5000 people there so I am not so muchnervous ght as I am just waiting to get it on.What is your walk-out song?
My walk out song was Cascada, Every TimeWe Touch, I like techno music plus this songis really girly and funny, I am not afraid to lookfunny, I know what skill set I bring to the cageso I prefer to come out to normal music I listentoo, not some heavy metal or rap song laced withdeath threats.What do you want your legacy to be?
I want to be remembered at as a ghter whoshowed up and put on a show every time hefought regardless of it was win, lose or draw. Ilike ghting, and putting on a show.

Hartford Hawks star-runner, EricFlaman, says he would never com-pete without sporting FiveFingers
on his feet.The minimalist footwear by Vi-
bram is made of lightweight rubber,and designed to t like a glove, foryour feet and toes.
A member of both Hartford trackand cross-country teams, Flamanswears that running in VibramFiveFingers has allowed him totranscend his own personal best.
The junior from Walpole, Mass.,began training with FiveFingers onhis feet last spring. Prior to tryingout minimalist footwear, Flamanran the 8,000 meter with a time of27:33, but when Flaman returnedthis fall, he was thrilled to discoverhe had shaved off more than 1:30 inthe race, averaging 26:00.
The rst time I ran in them mycalves felt like they were on re,Flaman admits. After graduallyconditioning his body to run in theminimalist shoes, Flaman felt in-credible on the racecourse, and wasamazed to nd that post-run knee-pain (manifested by a wakeboardinginjury), ceased to bother him withVibram Finger Fives.
The point of FiveFingers are notto give your foot a ton of support likesneakers do, Flaman said, but tobuild strength and condition musclesin your leg and foot that you nevereven felt before.
The concept behind VibramFiveFingers was to use as little ma-
terial as possible in order to allow thefoot to work in a more natural way,without going completely barefoot,to create something that would besolid butexible, follow the shape ofthe foot and allow the toes to workindividually, said Tony Post, CEOof Vibram USA.
While further research is needed tomore accurately predict the potentialeffects of minimalist footwear onthe body, studies that illustrate thedetrimental effects of modern sneak-ers on the runners form and bodyare increasingly common.
Many proponents of minimalistfootwear offer proof that suggestsrunners who wear sneakers subjecttheir bodies to increased wear, tear
and are more prone to injuries thanbarefoot runners.
A Harvard University study illus-trates that sneakers are detrimentalas they cause runners to land heel-rst nearly 80 percent of the time;conversely, the natural foot-strike
for humans is actually toward themiddle or front of the foot.
This is a big problem because ofthe sledgehammer impact heel-rst foot strikes induce on the body,the extra energy required to run withsneakers on, as well as the potentialfor injuries.
According to a Popular Science
article, The American Academy ofPhysical Medicine and Rehabilita-tion found that running shoes canincrease joint torques at the hip, kneeand ankle. Their study suggestedthat even going for a run in highheels was better for preventing jointinjury than tennis shoes.
The number of runners whochoose minimalist footwear is in-creasing at a rapid rate, however,there are still many researchers whocaution that too little information isknown about this technology to fullyunderstand the potential benetsand risks.
The unknown risks associatedwith barefoot running strikes me
as an ironic point of contention,especially when pitted against theresearch of Harvard Professor ofhuman evolutionary biology, DanielE. Lieberman.
Two million years ago, ourancestors ability to run long dis-tances helped them outlast their prey,providing a steady diet of proteinlong before the spears and arrows,according to the New York Times.
Although I agree that humans arebiologically engineered to run thebest on their own two feet, I alsoagree with Flaman that this type offootwear may not be for everyone,and those interested in switchingover need to be extremely cautiousas they gradually transition from
cushioned heels to FiveFingers.While top brands like Nike boast
Hyperdunk basketball sneakers,guaranteed to make you jumphigher because of Nikes Fly Wiretechnology, Lunar Foam (developedby NASA) and lightweight Nike
Forget about Nikes, throw FiveFingers on your feet
Flyt tensile bers for extra sup-port whatever that means VibramFiveFingers boasts biological designand that less is more.
I would argue that minimalist ath-letic shoes, like Vibram FiveFingers,are both the past and future in ulti-
mate athletic footwear; conduciveto supreme form, efciency andrunning ability.
As Americans push for a morenatural, organic and green way oflife, it is surprising that minimalistfootwear is a hot topic of debate.
To people like Flaman and myself,it would only seem logical that whenstrengthening the muscles in ourfeet, improving agility and restoringbalance in the body, you would needto rst have the soles of your feettouching the ground.

When it comes down to it, the
University of Hartfords UltimateFrisbee team is just a fun group ofguys that loves to get outside andthrow the Frisbee around.
Known as the Hartford Lighthouse,the nationally recognized CollegeUltimate team has seen much im-provement since their installmentve years ago according to PresidentAdam Velk, who says at the begin-ning the team would get destroyedin tournaments.
Getting destroyed does not appearto be the case anymore, thanks tothe current team captains Dave Ku-ciliani and Mike Lubeck, who Velksays have done a really great job intraining new members and setting astrong foundation for the team.
Two of these new members arefreshman Luke DiOrio and TylerFinkler, who Velk says next year asteam captains are, Really going totake [the team] to the next level.
Another reason for the teams re-cent success is the growing numberof students getting involved.
At the end of the season last year,the Hartford Lighthouse lost the coreof their team with onlyve membersreturning said Velk and the future wasnot looking so bright.
But thanks to dedication of theremaining members to get out andplay whenever possible to attract newstudents, as well as fundraising, Velksays, We did a really good job of
recruiting in getting a lot of kids tocome out and make friends.
And that aspect, making friends,is something Hartford Lighthouseholds dear to their heart.
Everyone has competitivenessin them but everyone is just tryingto play for the spirit of the gameUltimate is built on the spirit of thegame. Thats the main idea, saysVelk, as often the teams playing each
other will be chatting it up on theeld and then follow the game with
hanging out, whether it be playinggames or sharing stories.
Velk exudes this sense of cama-raderie as a giant fraternity wherean ultimate player will always haveother ultimate players as friends, nomatter where they are.
This includes Georgia where theteam participates in a tournament
over spring break that hosts teamsfrom all around the country from
Illinois and Wisconsin to all the wayout west. Along with the family-likefriendly environment, Velk says thatthe ability to get out and be active hasbeen great for him in his second yearas a member.
Absolutely wonderful, he said,the team is part of the reason whyIm enjoying college so muchWe
have a great group of people whereeveryone is really close and cares
about it, which makes it better.Velk is optomistic about next year
as team numbers have gone up somuch that Ultimate Frisbee will beable to form male and female teams.
Velk stresses that fribee is an openand accepting team, and the HartfordLighthouse is always looking for newmembers - men and women.

As the ball ew past the Universityof Hartford (7-6) goalie, the Hawksplayers turned their head towards theground in disbelief.
Unfortunately, for the Hawks, what
just happened in this lacrosse gamewont be forgotten anytime soon.
Fairfield junior attacker JohnSnellman rocketed a goal past theHartford goalie with one second leftin regulation after the Hawks tied thegame up with 19 seconds left to leadthe Stags to a 10-9 victory.
In a match-up that fostered a com-petitive feeling throughout the game,the Stags prevailed in the end witha big time goal from Snellman whocouldnt have had his second goal ofthe game at a better time.
Junior midelder Carter Benderled the Hawks with ve goals onthe game along with an assist, butprobably wished one of his twomisses on the game went in after theeventful ending.
Despite the loss, Benders stellarperformance earned him an honor-ary membership as the 14th Hawkto make it into the 100-Point Club.
Senior pre-season All-AmericanTim Fallon, led the Hawks with 12groundballs and gathered 16 of 23
(69 percent) face offs for a busy af-ternoon and controlled the groundthroughout the game.
With the Hawks leading 8-7with 1:50 left in the game theStags tied the game up on a SamSnow goal, then scored again onJordan Greenelds fourth goal of
the game with 50 seconds left inthe game to take the lead into thenal minute.
Junior Ryan Compitello brokethrough the Stags defense to rea shot in the upper right cornerpast Stags goalie Charlie Cipriano.
The goal allowed Hartford la-crosse to tie up the game up with19 seconds to go and gave theHawks the mentality to win thegame in overtime.
Unfortunately for the Hawks,Snellman had another idea inmind. The Stags player didntwant to enjoy the nice weatheranymore, and by breaking throughthe Hawks defense, Snellmanhurled a shot through the net.
Only one second remained on theclock, the goal allowed Faireldto clinch the game.
The University of HartfordHawks look to avenge this pain-ful loss with a game againstconference opponent Virginia inBurlington, Vt.,
