the herald for oct. 8
DESCRIPTION
The Herald for Oct. 8TRANSCRIPT
Scarlet and black deco-rations and howls will fill the ASU campus this week. What may be considered as usual Halloween behavior is actually homecoming spirit. “Let the Good Times Howl,” is not only the theme, but the mantra for this year’s home-coming.
Colea Blann, president of the Student Activities Board (SAB), thinks this homecom-ing will be the best one yet.
“I think (students) will en-joy being involved with dif-ferent students,” Blann said. “Normally in the past it is just competitions, which could be fun, but somehow it makes us forget the purpose of home-
coming, which is to bring us all together.”
Homecoming events of-ficially kick off Tuesday with the Mardi Gras Costume Contest and the homecoming court announcement at Heri-tage Plaza Lawn at noon.
“With any Mardi Gras I am expecting some jesters,” Blann said. “I’m really just looking forward to how peo-ple take the theme and are creative with it,” Blann said.
Wednesday at 7 p.m., the Convocation Center will hold the annual homecoming step show, “Bourbon Street Step-pin’ Step Show.” “It’s tradi-tional and brings a huge au-dience,” Blann said.
“It’s one of the most antici-pated events.”

Save the BOOBIESOctober is
N a t i o n a l Breast Can-cer Aware-
ness Month and Tuesday will be the first day of events that ASU organizations have planned.
Volunteer ASU is part-nering with the Women of Science Club to host their Breast Cancer Awareness which is campus-wide “Wear Pink Day.” From 10:30 a.m.
to 2 p.m., dining services will serve pink desserts in Acansa Dining Hall, and Volunteer ASU will pass out ribbons in the Student Union and in University Hall.
The event will continue into the evening as vendors from ASU and the Jonesboro community pass out health information from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Centennial A on the third floor of the student union. From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.,
there will be two speakers. The first speaker will be
former ASU student Sava-nah Stewart, who will tell her story about her battle with breast cancer. She will then introduce Dr. Jenell Smith-Wade from the AHEC Fam-ily Practice, who will speak about breast health.
Following the speakers, vendors will reopen their booths, prizes will be given away and ladies will have the

breast can- cer death rates are higher than any other cancer. 30 percent of cancers in
women are b r e a s t cancers. In 2011, there were more
than 2.6 mil-lion breast cancer sur-vivors in the U.S. In men, 1 in
10 breast cancers are believed to be due to BRCA2 mutations. 85 percent of breast cancers occur in women who have no fam-ily history of breast cancer.

Homecoming events kick off
In May 2011, the town of Joplin, Mo. was the bull’s eye for a devastating half-mile-wide tornado. The massive twister killed 161 people and destroyed as many as 500 businesses. Over a year later there is still cleanup to be done, and last weekend Volunteer ASU set out to lend Joplin a helping hand.
A team of 13 volunteers left Jones-boro on Oct. 5, to make the five hour trip to Missouri’s southwest corner. Once they arrived, Volunteer ASU
joined forces with Rebuild Joplin, an or-ganization dedicated to providing relief to those impacted by the storm.
Volunteer ASU spent two days in Jop-lin, a time frame during which program coordinator Jodie Cherry said her team got a great deal accomplished. Though many in Joplin no longer need outside assistance, there are still more than 200 people living in trailers provided by FEMA while waiting for their homes to be rebuilt.
Members of Volunteer ASU did their part to speed up the process by assisting
in the reconstruction of a house. “Our project for Saturday was demo-
lition. We were able to completely gut a damaged house for an 86-year-old lady,” Cherry said.
Volunteer ASU also contributed to general cleanup. Despite empty spaces throughout the town where a business or home once stood, Joplin is almost back to normal.
“Brand new neighborhoods have been built. (The area) is definitely look-ing better,” Cherry said.

Our View
Media restrictions at Ithaca College
It’s a journalist’s job to find information its audience would deem important to their everyday life and to relay that news to them as quickly and efficiently as possible.
But sometimes the media’s efforts to inform a community are obstructed by bureaucracy.
That is what students and fledging journalists at Ithaca College in Ithaca, N.Y. are experiencing after the administration announced a new media policy beginning on Oct. 1 requiring all members of the media to go through the school’s office of media relations.
An Ithaca media official claimed, in an article by the college’s student newspaper “The Ithacan,” that the new rule was created to “better facilitate interviews with administrators and make sure the sources are the most appropriate.”
This new policy affects the members of Ithaca’s student newspaper, television and radio stations since they must now navigate a figurative firewall in order to interview 84 administrators, directors, deans, associate deans and assistant deans on campus.
At ASU we enjoy a relatively open access when it comes to getting in touch with important figures on campus.
We understand people like President Charles Welch and Chancellor Tim Hudson have busy schedules that require coordination with their respective offices, as daunting as that may be.
However, the policy that has been implemented at Ithaca puts a gag in both the news organizations on campus and the people who could be a source of valuable information for the professors who work underneath them and the students who are paying their salary through tuition fees.
A campus’ goal should be to have an open and inviting community, one where students don’t feel like the people in control are hiding something and trying to pull wool over the students’ eyes.
College is a place where information is shared in order to enrich everyone that puts stock in it, not one that places restrictions on the flow of information in order to benefit an administration.
We see how this policy could be beneficial in setting up appointments and getting appropriate sources, but fear it will just give administrators a way out of answering unwanted questions.

What is your overall impression of Romney’s performance at the debate Wednesday night?
He performed very well, better than expectations. What he had to do was to appear presidential, which means be forceful as a leader, and he did that. The consensus seems to be Romney was better prepared.
Part of that was because they had different goals. Romney was on the attack—that was his strategy, whereas Obama could not go on the attack because that would have sent the wrong message. People see vigor and forcefulness as leadership.
At this point, how important are these debates for Romney to win the Presidency?
Traditionally, political scientists have concluded that after 40 years of research, debates hardly matter.
However, they can change elections by a point or two, and with the closeness of this election, that point or two might actually matter.
At this point in the election, most have made up their mind, and only a few haven’t, especially in the swing states—just a few points shifting could really make a difference.
Sure, debates are important for a lot of reasons, but rarely for the outcomes.

What is your overall impression of Obama’s performance at the debate Wednesday night?
Obama was curiously a little flat. Part of it is his cool, some say “professorial” style, but he paled against a highly charged Romney (Wednesday) night.
How important are these debates for Obama to hold onto the Presidency?
Probably not critical. Poll results suggest Obama has impressive leads in many of the battleground states and that there appears to be an unusually small number of undecided voters this year, which means that Romney would have to convert some voters who intended to go for Obama to cross over. (It is a bigger distance to move from undecided to Romney than to move from Obama’s corner to Romney’s.)
On the other hand, all of this needs to be looked at in a dynamic way. If press reports and the general buzz are heard by ordinary voters as suggesting a Romney upset in the debate, there may be a shift in general perceptions of Obama as a leader and leading politician.
If, then, there seems to be a sudden move-ment against Obama, it may work to shake up the race, making Romney, who looked like a sure loser, more competitive.

On Thursday night the ASU Red Wolves would take its first Sun Belt Conference win against the Florida International Panthers in Miami, Fla.
The 34-20 victory marked ASU’s first win in Miami since 2006 and would extend their road winning streak to five games.
Senior Ryan Aplin became the Sun Belt Conference’s all-time leader in career offense with 10,365 yards, throwing for 223 with 15-of-23 completions.
Junior David Oku would finish the night
with three rushing touchdowns, while fresh-man J.D. Mckissic posted his first 100 yards in receiving, giving him a game-high of 124 yards on five catches and a touchdown.
ASU’s momentum would pick up after Sterling Young intercepted a pass, returning the ball for 29 yards to the FIU 7 yard-line.
ASU completed the night with 421 total yards offensively, compared to FIU’s 341.
The Red Wolves return home for its home match up hosting South Alabama Jaguars in the Red Wolves annual homecoming game. This will be the first meeting between the two leagues. Kick off is set for 6 p.m.

ASU will return to action Oct. 12-14 at the SIU Invitational hosted by Southern Illinois.
The ASU Lady Red Wolves took it’s fourth Sun Belt Con-ference win over South Ala-bama Sunday at the Convo-cation Center.
ASU would take the win in 3 sets with scores of 27-25, 25-23, 25-15 with close victories in the first and second match, leaving ASU to continue to forge ahead in the final set.
The first set started off slow for the Red Wolves as South Alabama would take 12 of the first 16 points scored at the start of the set.
A comeback run of 15-7 by senior Terry Jasmine and senior Kelsey Hodges, both with 4 kills tied up the match before ASU would take the lead for the first time with a service ace from Hodges to put the Red Wolves up 20-19.
Back-and-forth action ensued as the teams took
turns tying up the score. South Alabama would give up points with two consecutive attack errors, giving the Red Wolves the first set victory.
“We kind of let them do some things that we weren’t familiar with at first, which was out of our character, but we responded well after that,” head coach David Rehr said.
Point for point in the second set the Red Wolves and Jaguars battled keeping a consistently tied game until the Red Wolves went up by tow to make the score 23-21.
After capitalizing on an attack error and a pair of kills, the Red Wolves would take set two with a final score of 25-23, giving A-State even more momentum going into what would be the final set of the match.
Arkansas State took the third set in dominative fash-ion, grabbing a 16-8 lead ear-ly after going on an 8-1 run
and sustaining it throughout while Terry went 5-of-7 in kills.
ASU ended the final set with a 10-7 run that took ad-vantage of numerous errors by South Alabama and also finished with a .228 team attacking percentage while limiting Southern Alabama to .082.
“The second game of a weekend series is always tough because you don’t re-ally practice for it, so it was really all about just taking care of ourselves, which I think we did a good job of,” Rehr said, “we had a good week of prep, and I think it showed.”
The A-State Volleyball squad will be on the road next weekend to play West-ern Kentucky Friday, Oct. 19, followed by Middle Tennes-see Saturday, Oct. 20. Both matches begin at 7 p.m.

PRESS RELEASESPORTS INFORMATION
What the Howl?
Zachary Lott
Staff Writer
Journalism
Jonesboro, Ark.
It’s time for preseason polls to go the way of the dodo. This is painfully apparent after another chaotic weekend of
college football that saw three Top 5 teams go down: Georgia, LSU and Florida State. Anyone who followed these teams through the first five weeks of the season knew that they were nowhere near as good as the media had hyped them to be, but thanks to preseason polls it was assumed that they were among the best of the best.
When teams are overrated to begin the season, any team that beats them automatically becomes overrated. Florida’s victory over LSU and South Carolina’s thrashing of Georgia earned them spots in the Top 5, but we still have no idea how good these teams actually are.
For example, LSU barely defeated Auburn and struggled against Towson, and yet the Gators have somehow been crowned an elite team for exposing them. The Tigers obviously aren’t as good as advertised, so how does that prove anything about Florida?
Florida State began its season with two FCS cupcakes and then disemboweled a weak Wake Forest squad before scraping past an equally over-hyped Clemson in a battle of no defense. The hype reached critical mass as the ‘Noles turned in a pedestrian performance against a bad South Florida team and then dropped Saturday’s decision against North Carolina State.
Like LSU, Florida State had no business starting the season in the Top 5.
This is the direct result of preseason hype. It is ridiculous that the media has the gall to rank teams before they have played a single game, influencing the national championship race in the process. A team that isn’t ranked highly to begin the season may not be able to play for the national championship simply because another team was incorrectly judged to be better before playing even a down of football.
With the demise of the BCS, this effect will be slightly mitigated, but even the new playoff system will be flawed so long as preseason polls persist. No polls should be issued until at least halfway through the season. Let every team play six games before even considering how they fit into the hierarchy of college football.
In an ideal world, the first polls would appear around the eight-game mark. There would be a playoff comprising the champions of each FBS conference, seeding teams according to their record and strength of schedule. If you cannot win your division, much less your conference, you have no business playing for the national championship (here’s looking at you, Alabama).
This won’t happen because the sports media are interested in drama instead of honesty. There’s nothing ESPN loves more than an early-season matchup between two Top 10 teams when it’s still unknown whether either squad is any good.
It’s time to end the madness.
Don’t believe the hype

Zach Marsh who originally came up with the idea to take a team to the storm-ravaged Missouri town.
“Joplin is close enough to be considered our neighbor, and neighbors help neigh-bors,” Marsh said. “It was a rewarding experience. I could really feel the gratitude of the people that we helped.”
ASU students interested in getting involved with more projects like this can find Vol-unteer ASU on Facebook and Twitter, or stop by Volunteer ASU’s office in the Leadership Center in the Student Union.
“Thursday is our main day of entertainment,” Amber Ray, traditions director for SAB, said.
Not only does the voting for homecoming king and queen begin, but a full car-nival celebration begins from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. The cele-bration will consist of a com-edy show, a DJ, food and the display decorating contest, Ray said.
“Starting at 10 a.m. there will be a whole day full of stuff,” Ray said.
With the hope to include all students, not just students in organizations, SAB is host-ing a Mardi Gras mask-mak-
ing contest on Thursday for anyone who wants to partici-pate.
Friday’s biggest event will be the “Yell Like Hell Spirit Competition.” It is also a tra-ditional event that brings a lot of people and allows stu-dents to show school spirit, said Blann. The competition will be held at the Heritage Plaza Lawn at 3 p.m.
A free concert featuring The Ohio Players will begin at 7 p.m. by Liberty Bank Stadium. A lot of their songs are played at football games, Blann said.
The concert is something SAB hasn’t done in years,
said Blann. “It is going to be really cool because it is going to bring a different audience to campus.”
“I think the students are going to like homecoming,” Ray said. “I think they will be involved, have a good time and meet new people.”
Ray believes homecom-ing is one of the most social events on campus and in order to have a good time, students should be willing to participate.
“It is what you make it, but I think it will be a lot of fun,” Ray said.
opportunity to have a doctor perform a breast exam in the Centennial B room.
Alyssa Goodin, president of Volunteer ASU, said she’s ea-ger to host the awareness events on Tuesday, especially the inclusion of everyone on campus.
“I think that anytime you can do a campus-wide event, it’s great for awareness,” Goodin said, a senior pre-professional major of Wynne. “It’s not just the Greeks or Honors or any specific organization. Anyone and everyone on campus is in-vited to come and learn about breast cancer awareness. No group should feel left out.”
Goodin said she feels especially passionate about aware-ness because it affected her grandmother.
“My grandmother was a survivor,” Goodin said. “I remem-ber participating in her survivor walks and I always loved to hear her survivor stories.”
Goodin said that it’s very important for students to know the risks associated with breast cancer, and that Volunteer ASU’s event will help that.
“Most people won’t go out of their way to learn about breast cancer possibilities,” Goodin said. “With the event we have planned, we’re bringing it to you.”
Annie Robinson, co-chair of the ASU Volunteer Council, has been helping to organize the event. Regarding her support of the Think Pink events, she said, “Support others in their time of need, because you never know when you may end up in their shoes.”
Zeta Tau Alpha, which just became a part of ASU’s Greek Life this fall, supports breast cancer awareness and education as their national philanthropy. They partner with several or-ganizations, including Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure: Survivor Recognition Program, the National Football League, and Yoplait Yogurt’s “Save Lids, Save Lives” campaign.
ZTA will be passing out ribbons, shower cards, and edu-cational information throughout the month of October. The ZTAs are also setting up collection boxes for Yoplait’s pink yogurt lids. For each lid collected, 10 cents will be donated by Yoplait for breast cancer awareness and education.
“Think Pink Week” will also be hosted by ZTA, which will include various events around campus from Oct. 21-26.
Suzanne Kelley, ZTA leadership consultant, commented on the group’s reasoning for choosing breast cancer awareness and education as their philanthropy.
“One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer. It is because of this statistic that Zeta Tau Alpha continues to fight for all women. It is our hope that Arkansas State University will join us in this fight,” Kelley said.
