The lost world of north campus Students experiment in educational greenhouse
BY WILLIAM BROWN

AU draws people from all over the world for its forested mountain landscape — and draws people from across Arizona for its four seasons. However, what many do not know is that different climates exist here on campus — and plants from all over the world thrive within them. These artificial climates, sustained within two different greenhouses on campus, provide opportunities for students to study biomes not found in northern Arizona. They also serve a variety of other purposes, including wildfire restoration and
sustainability exercises. Tina Ayers, the supervisor of the teaching greenhouse, said the facility, which was built in the 1960s, received some much-needed renovations last year. “The place really got a facelift last summer [when] the Dean of the College of Engineering, Forestry and Natural Sciences bought us some new panels,” Ayers said. “They are Lexan panels that are polycarbonate plastic and twin walls that are energy-efficient and buffer the outside temperature. NAU took off the old glass that TOP: Kendra Hart, a junior biology major, inspects one kept breaking and installed the [new] of the many plants located in the greenhouse.

urrent University of Memphis assistant coach Jack Murphy has been hired to lead the NAU men’s basketball program, the school announced Thursday afternoon. “We are so pleased. This is a great day for NAU Athletics,” said Lisa Campos, the Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. “It was a really competitive process. There was a lot of interest in this position. We know that Jack is the right person to do that and if you look at his background, he’s Jack Murphy, the learned a lot from great coaches.” Murphy has been on the new coach of the Memphis staff since 2009, joining NAU men’s basketball program. the program when close friend Josh (Photo courtesy Pastner took over. Before holding Inside NAU) that position, he was a member of the Denver Nuggets organization under George Karl, acting as an advance scout while also serving as the video coordinator and leading players such as Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith in off-season workouts. “My first thanks goes to obviously Dr. Campos and President Haeger for seeing a vision in me,” Murphy said. “It’s very humbling. I’m overjoyed but it hasn’t hit me yet.” Murphy’s coaching career started at UA, where he was a team manager before working his way up to director of basketball operations, spending eight seasons in Tucson from 1998-2006 under Lute Olson, before leaving for the Nuggets gig. Serving under three quality coaches in his young career, Murphy has taken away an extensive knowledge of how to handle programs both on and off the court. “I learned from Coach Olson how to respect the game and respect your players,” the 32-year-old said. “With Coach Karl, I learned how he managed players and his staff. He was an unbelievable motivator in several ways. From Coach Pastner, I’ve learned how important it is to bring in entire communities and empower the players.” see MURPHY page 16

Cheba Hut strips ties with corporate, now Fatties Toasted Subs
A
BY JUSTIN REGAN
s of midnight on April 13, the sub eatery on Milton Road known as Cheba Hut closed its doors and dropped all affiliation to the Cheba Hut franchise. They have now gone independent and are called “Fatties Toasted Subs.” The rift between the Flagstaff front and corporate began about a year ago when the Daily Sun reported about an employee of Cheba Hut getting pulled over while driving the company delivery van. According to the Daily Sun, the employee turned out to be in possession of marijuana plus a pipe and was arrested for possession. “Our main franchise was not happy with us, and started coming down on us with little things,” Matt Newton, one of the four owners of Fatties (formerly Cheba Hut), said. “So, since a year ago all the way
until January we were trying to deal with it and then [Cheba Hut] just didn’t want us to be in their franchise anymore.” Corporate gave Flagstaff Cheba Hut two options: sell the franchise to someone else or sign a mutual release letter. The owners said they felt they would not get a good price for what the front was truly worth and also felt the letter to be vastly one-sided. Therefore, management decided to cut all ties to Cheba Hut. Through cutting relations, Fatties will be dropping the décor and other themes of Cheba Hut. Newton said he sees this as an opportunity to take the sub shop in a new direction. “In a way, it’s a little more liberating that we can do whatever we want now,” Newton said. “Fatties is a little bit of a homage to what we were [and] it’s also a little bit more descriptive of what we are doing.
We really love the idea of serving a big fat sandwich and bringing people in who live large and things like that.” As one of the requirements of the release, the menu will also be changing. The new menu will now include 16 signature subs plus a build-your-own-sub section. They will also be providing more appetizers such as tater-tots and mozzarella sticks. For the time being, there will be a decrease in “munchies” and deserts, but Newton said the number will go back up once they start creating their own products. Despite the changes, Newton said they are striving to give Fatties the same general image as a respected sub shop for the Flagstaff community. “We don’t want to alienate the customer base that we have,” Newton said. “We’re still here. We’re the same people. We’re just not allowed to wear the suit of Cheba Hut.
So we’re not going to do the same thing as a Cheba Hut. We’re not hacks; we want to do our own thing.” While Fatties will no longer be stonerthemed, Newton said the eatery will still be stoner-friendly. “So, if a person comes in and they’re stoned out, well you know, ‘God Bless you,’” Newton said. “We’re going to feed you, treat you right and send you on your way.” Fatties is spending the next 90 days or so reaching out to the community and establishing their new image. One way they will do this is with their 4/20 celebration on April 20. The deal will be different from the usual four-inch sub with chips and a drink for $4.20. Fatties will no longer be serving four-inch subs, only six and 12 inches. The first 500 customers on 4/20 will get a Fatties cup, which they can use to get the 4/20 deal for the rest of April.
NAU offers summer youth programs to staff, Flagstaff community
N
BY AURELIA ACQUATI
AU’s Summer Youth Programs allow kids to spend their days swimming in the pool, climbing the rock wall and learning about science. The programs offer a way for kids to have a safe and fun experience while parents are at work or busy throughout the day. From June 4 to Aug. 10, kids can attend Dolphin Day Camp, Mountain Jack Kid’s Camp or both. According to NAU’s Campus Recreation Services, their mission for the camps is to provide children with a safe environment where they can have fun and experience new activities. They equip each camp with a trained staff, comprised mainly of student counselors. Nikki Huffman, the Dolphin Day Camp coordinator and NAU’s diving coach, said the camp does a good job of providing an exciting place for kids during the summer. They set three main rules the kids are taught to follow to ensure their time at camp is enjoyable and safe. “Our whole goal is to make it a fun and safe environment. That’s kind of what the camp’s all about,” Huffman said. “We kind of do the three main rules which [are]: number one is always be where there’s a
counselor; number two is treat others how you want to be treated; number three is honesty is the best policy.” According to Huffman, the counselors go through a rigorous training program in which they learn various safety measures and discuss real life scenarios, to prepare them in an event of an emergency. “We go through a pretty extensive hiring process [where] they have to have background checks, and they don’t get hired unless all that comes back clear,” Huffman said. “We do a full week of training. We bring in Child Protective Services (CPS) and the police department and go over what they think campus safety is and things like that.” Huffman said the pricing structure is very reasonable, whether the parent is a NAU student, faculty member, or community member with no ties to the university. Although all the funding comes primarily from the cost of the camp, there is an opportunity for kids to get a scholarship. “All of our funding comes from what the parents pay,” Huffman said. “We do have the Lemon Foundation, which is a scholarship. We had one family donate some money at some point [and] we bring in applications for scholarships for the kids, so that is where we can sometimes

help out.” The camps are structured so kids have the option to attend both during the summer. Mountain Jacks Kid’s Camp runs from approximately 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., and Dolphin Day Camp starts around 1 p.m. and goes until 5 p.m. Although parents will need to pay for both camps, this allows kids to experience numerous and different activities throughout the day. Erik Jaeke, the coordinator for intramurals, sports clubs, and summer activities at NAU, is the coordinator for the Mountain Jacks Kid’s Camp, another branch of children’s summer programs offered over the summer. He said they try to focus mainly on educational aspects of the camp while also including an array of activities for the kids. “The biggest thing we try to do, especially with Mountain Jacks, is really focus on learning,” Jaeke said. “And it’s learning outside the classroom of course, but looking at all these different ways we can help to increase [their] experiential education— team building, judgment, and character development. It is very activity based, but a lot of the activities kind of have an ulterior motive learning along the line.” The Mountain Jacks camp is very similar to the Dolphin Day Camp, except they
also allow preschoolers to attend. This younger age group does not change the camp’s itinerary, however, they are separated from the older kids for most of the day. “We’ve always designated basically a play room that is the pre-k’s room. So they’ve got a different schedule; they still do different things throughout the course of the day,” Jaeke said. The Mountain Jacks Kid’s Camp does not differ much on the training process from the Dolphin Day Camp. Jaeke said they put the staff through an intense threeday training period, in which they become CPR and First Aid certified and learn how to handle any emergency situation. “One of the big components of that training is they’re all American Red Cross Professional Rescue certified for CPR and First Aid and Automated External Defibrillator (AED), for children. So they’re all trained to be first responders. Another part of training that’s really important, is we have the Department of Public Safety (DPS) come in and talk to us about different issues—as far as what’s appropriate with children versus what’s not appropriate, and how to report [child abuse] based on the federal law. Also, NAUPD comes in and does part of [the] training with us as well.”
New NORESCO and NAU contract to save energy BY SARA WEBER
T
he Arizona Board of Regents approved an $18,000,000 contract with NORESCO energy services company in effort to reach carbon neutrality by 2020. The contract will save approximately $1.5 million a year in utility costs. Director of Energy Services and Sustainability Lindsay Wagner credits NAU’s future successes to the many developments — including the NORESCO contract — that have been made this year. “I think that the recent finalization of the NORESCO project really put us ahead of schedule,” Wagner said. “We’ll reach 1990 carbon levels by the year 2014 as opposed to the year 2018, which was defined in the plan.” Wagner feels the incorporation of the new contract will give NAU an advantage in its goal of reaching carbon neutrality.
“This project is a major step in becoming a carbon neutral campus,” Wagner said. “This is an opportunity for the university to upgrade lighting and heating and cooling equipment, as well as involving students, faculty and staff in the process which will increase awareness of the campus sustainability efforts and ultimately aid in creating the culture of sustainability that we are after. I am very excited to get this project started.” With the incorporation of the new contract, many feel the goal has become a more attainable. “I am confident that we will be there at 2020,” Richard Bowen, the associate vice president of Economic Development and Sustainability, said. “By the time 2020 comes around, the university will be producing more electricity than it uses. So, we will actually be overobtaining.” Additionally, Bowen has been working with the university to

Kendra Hart, a technician at the teaching greenhouse and vice president of the Botany Club, said her group meets inside the structure every Friday. Ayers said the teaching greenhouse is split into two houses, with the north supporting plants accustomed to a hot and dry climate and the south supporting plants used to a cooler, humid environment. Ayers also said the north house is further divided within itself for plants from different regions. “The north house is divided into [the] Eastern hemisphere and [the] Western hemisphere, so we have lots of cacti and yuccas and succulents from the Americas on one side,” Ayers said. “Then, we have a whole bunch of stem and leafed

He also mentioned the added value carbon neutrality brings to the NAU experience. “It will put us in the leading edge in terms of our ability to teach sustainability,” Bowen said. “If we

They’re in different families and they’re not related, but they’ve adapted to the same kind of environments.” While Hart enjoys her work because it allows her to study different plants, she said the greenhouse functions as a place for everyone to connect to nature. Hart said a major project of the botany club is making their own compost with the help of some creatures intimately familiar with dirt: worms. “Right now we are maintaining a vermiculture . . . which is pretty much a farm of worms where they are producing worm castings and we use the worm castings in our potting soil,” Hart said. “So instead of buying a lot of soil we are actually creating our own stuff.” The Botany Club uses old exam papers for

I think it raises our profile and reputation, which then makes your degree from NAU more valuable than it already is,” Bowen said. Nolan Bade, Green Jacks president and junior environmental science major, placed more value on the training and life lessons attending an environmentally conscious school has available. “The future is a scary place, being an environmental science major,” Bade said. “We’re going to have to start limiting our carbon, whether it’s the university or the government. I think universities are an excellent pilot for what the future’s going to look like in 10, 20, 50 or 100 years. I think carbon neutrality is beneficial to students because they can realize how important it is and how much it takes.”
compost bedding, and feeds the worms in the soil the leftover food from the Green Scene Cafe in the Health and Learning Center. This initiative, Ayers said, has proven to be both environmentally sustainable, as well as financially beneficial. “That has really saved a lot of money too, that used to be used for buying fertilizer and potting soil for that facility,” Ayers said. “So, we’re not aficionados in how to make potting soil yet — we’re still trying to figure that out — but given a few more months, I think the students will figure out their issues and we’ll be set.” Brad Blake, the manager of the NAU research greenhouse located on south campus, said the purpose of his greenhouse is to allow students a chance to do hands-on work. “We’re here to provide opportunities in research to people in forestry, biology, chemistry

BY MARIA DICOSOLA
AU staff and students gathered at the High Country Conference Center last Thursday to listen to University President John Haeger speak about the school’s recent accomplishments as well as what can be expected in the coming academic year. Haeger began his speech by formally announcing new hires, promoted staff and relocated staff within the university. Then, Haeger progressed to speak about the university’s budget. According to the PowerPoint he presented, the school has been receiving a larger percentage of its income through tuition and fees than through the state, which is a reverse trend from 2008, when nearly 40 percent of its income through the government. In 2012, tuition and fees accounted for almost 35 percent of NAU’s revenue. The President is proposing a budget of $441 million for 2012, which is $3 million less than Fiscal Year (FY) 2011.
[and] environmental science,” Blake said. Blake also said his staff has aided in restoration to lands damaged by wildfire, contributing 300,000 seedlings to repairing land damaged in the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski fire which burned hundreds of thousands of acres in the east-central part of the state. He said more restoration work using seedlings is to come. “We’re providing 6,000 trees next fall to do a restoration on private and community properties impacted by the Wallow fire,” Blake said. Ayers said the thing that students should know about the teaching greenhouse is that it allows for plants not native to the area to thrive. “The biggest thing they should remember about [the greenhouse] is it brings fabulous amounts of botanical diversity to northern Arizona,” Ayers said.

The administration hired Lisa Campos to fill the Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics post and subsequently tapped Jack Murphy as the basketball coach. The announcement of each hire has, so far, provided some stability to an athletic department in need of change. Murphy boasts an impressive resume, having served under three quality coaches: Lute Olson at UA, George Karl with the Denver Nuggets and Josh Pastner at Memphis and appears ready to handle the grind of a Division I head coaching job. Campos’ qualifications are also substantial, as she spent her tenure at Texas-El Paso (UTEP) overseeing up to 14 different sports and had been UTEP’s associate athletic director since 2003 until she took the job in Flagstaff. Both Campos and Murphy, under 35, bring a youthful energy that has already radiated through NAU in the short amount of time they have spent on campus and around Flagstaff. Their positive attitudes during Monday’s introductory news conferences, in which both spoke with charisma about reviving campus and community support for athletics, were refreshing and aiming to pique the interest in NAU athletics. Granted, no new employee at any institution wants to say the wrong thing, and each carefully navigated their speech while also trying to make a good first impression in front of a bevy of spectators that included reporters, administrators and Flagstaff citizens.
Credit has to be given to Parker Executive Search (PES), the two committees assigned to consult with PES and NAU President, John Haeger, who had to sign off on Campos and Murphy. At the conference, Haeger said, “We have to do far more as a university to make the games much more exciting for the fans and young people [in] Flagstaff.” That statement shows the athletic department, along with the higher-ups such as Haeger and the provost, are
more willing to work together to achieve their goals than they have shown in the past and should be more forward with each other, a positive step forward if there ever was one. Individually, Campos and Murphy have kicked off trends aimed to be more receptive to the community and athletes alike. Both stressed the need to be recognizable faces with the town and university, open to critical suggestions and listen to what the town, university and students have to say. Each has their

own personal Twitter account — Murphy’s launched this past weekend — and both have already used that to their advantage, making contacts and acting accordingly with fans. It is a small gesture, but a welcome one. Generally, coaches and those within the athletic department on this campus have been unwilling to divulge any personal details about their tenures. It is foolish to think Campos or Murphy will do that, but the fact that they are communicating with fans on a personal level
is something different and refreshing. Of course, Murphy and Campos are not the only new hires on campus. Getting lost in the shuffle amid the recent hubbub is new football offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, who was brought on days before spring practice started. Another young gun, Scangarello has already made a positive impression on the squad and its fans. Similar to Murphy and Campos, Scangarello has an impressive resume for a young football coach. Finding something good to say about Lumberjack athletics as a whole has been difficult the past few years. There have been bright spots for a few teams, but as a group, the bar has been lowered considerably. Perhaps that is a good thing, though, because if Campos and Murphy, and to an extent Scangarello, excel in their positions, then their performances will look even more impressive. These three should be aware that if they do not return their respective areas back to success, the axe will come a’swinging. Do we want that to happen? Of course not. We may be critical a considerable amount of the time, but that does not mean we do not wish the best for our school and those that represent the blue and gold. Getting Campos, Murphy and Scangarello are smart moves for both the athletic department and university. It is time for a change, and with NAU reaching a crossroads in athletics, now is the time to start anew.

Students agonize over tuition increases and pepper spray
Editorial&Opinion
LETTER
R

uition costs continue to skyrocket; consequently, government funding — when it’s not being cut — is only able to relieve a smaller financial burden from students’ shoulders. As a result, college is becoming ridiculously expensive for many and simply unaffordable for some. We are challenged to question more seriously the real value of a college degree. Americans have been able to survive and flourish without a higher education before; the most immediate solution for many is to abandon plans to pursue a college degree, and seek success through other means. Unfortunately, a dynamic global economy and the increasing need for specialists in fields like computer science, finances, accounting, mediROLANDO cine and engineering significantly diminish a GARCIA person’s likelihood to find employment without a college degree. “While Americans with a high school education or less have seen their labor-market position deteriorate in recent decades, the wage premium for college-educated workers has increased,” write Vance H. Fried and Reihan Salam, a professor of entrepreneurship at Oklahoma State University and a writer for National Review Online’s domestic-policy blog, respectively, “Moreover, the unemployment rate for college-educated workers has consistently been lower than that for workers with no more than a high-school diploma.” Technical positions must be filled, if America can’t produce them, employers will have to turn overseas for their labor force. Without an educated population, Americans will face lower wages, unemployment, and the overall economy will suffer significantly. The problem this nation faces is not a lack of willingness or ability from its student body. Studies by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have shown after the Federal Government increased the Stafford loan limit in 2007, the number of students who enrolled in higher-education programs increased proportionately. If affordable, Americans are willing to invest on a college degree.
The problem is tuition becomes more and more unaffordable every day. At Santa Monica College, a non-profit foundation would have offered high-demand core classes such as English, math and history at the full cost of about $180 per unit. Similar state-funded classes would be offered at $46 per unit. About 100 students of Santa Monica College protested these tuition increases on April 3 during a meeting of school trustees; the protest escalated to a point in which students were pepper-sprayed by law enforcement. This event demonstrates the passion students feel toward education, and their immaturity in dealing with crisis. Using force against officers to enter a meeting room is not just stupid — it’s illegal. Rioting behavior aside, these students were justified in raising their voice against injustice. Their victimization gave them enough attention by the press to influence school officials to retract these increases. College officials said the plan was a response to decreasing state funds that have forced thousands of classes to be cut. This isn’t the first time such an excuse has been made. It’s bothersome and strange that colleges and universities have come to rely so heavily on government subsidies. Even if funding is cut, tuition should only increase to a reasonable point of equilibrium that accounts for the loss of funding, inflation and other factors — then stops. It’s only logical that tuition increases should reach a ceiling, but no such limit seems to exist. Why? “The discomfiting answer is that the higher-education industry is enriching itself at the expense of taxpayers and students,” reply Fried and Salam. “Students and recent graduates burdened by debt shouldn’t be calling for more public subsidies . . . rather; they should take aim at the higher-education cartel that has been extracting ever more resources without offering an improved product.” We must do everything in our power to reduce or stop rising tuition costs. Higher-education has become a necessity for many in today’s economy. However, if tuition continues to rise without control, we will fall into a debt we can’t repay, default and require further government intervention.
TO THE EDITOR
ecently I read an article within the Lumberjack titled, “Bobby Seale: an Invitation to Radicalism.” Within it it described the original Black Panther Party (BPP) and its co-founder, Bobby Seale. The premise behind this movement is equality for all people, despite color or racial background, by any means necessary. As to go even further, the author, Beth Baumann, notes that radical thinking played a key role into this movement. For example, the BPP openly carried arms in order to keep a watchful eye on the police, also it is essential to note that this armed presence was meant to strike fear into the presence of the corrupt police force. As the article progresses it seems to conclude that this, “radicalism,” endorsed by the BPP has little effect to alleviate the situation, but in fact it truly allows progress to be made. Imagine back in 1776 and the so-called radical ideas the colonists had against the British Crown. Without the idea of radical thinking and the idea of equality among, “ . . . all people who are created equal under God,” it is easy to realize that radical thinking inspires change. Within modern society, and news coverage in specific, it is not the average person that gets the spotlight but rather people who stand against the normalcy of society. So as to say that radicalism is a taboo within the world, realize that it is because of radicalism America and many countries of the world, i.e. France, Libya, and many other countries involved within the recent Arab Spring have had a drastic change in their lives. To say that radicalism is the cause of fear is not only ignorant, but also radicalism allowed the United States to become one of the most powerful countries within the world.

GROUP WORK DOESN’T WORK
Y
es, homework is sort of a drag. But no homework can amount to the horror of working in groups. While college students have no problem with spending the weekends partying with their classmates, MARIA when it comes to DICOSOLA collaborating in the library for an assignment, the whole dynamic changes. Every students takes on one of three personality types while participating in a group. 1) The Group Leader This student is the first to open their mouth when the group comes together, and usually puts their name at the top of the assign-
ment. They dub themselves project dictator and will either harass every group member until it is up to their standards, or just do the entire project alone while bitching the entire time. 2) The Sidekick This member genuinely cares about their grade, but is obviously not too into the class and may not entirely know what’s going on. Therefore, they pretend to contribute as unhelpful as it may be. They usually turn their stuff into the leader, but the dictator changes it to meet their high standards. 3) The Deadweight This member is the kid who sleeps through class and seems as if they have a hollow head. They don’t turn their work in, making the Dictator furious. Nonetheless, they get the same grade as the other two. So, who really wins?

North Korea in desperate need of discipline
N
orth Korea has a brand spankin’ new leader, and they’re still pouncing around Eastern Asia like they’re the tomcat of the alleyway. Six and three years ago, sanctions were bestowed upon the tyrant country under the rule of the dearly departed Kim Jong-il for testing nuclear explosives underground and for rockets that invaded JaTOM pan’s aerial elbow BLANTON room. Their latest universal mishap, one involving more rockets enticing more universal fear, will most likely not be penalized, or at least harshly. The colossal Chinese empire has been known to protect its dictatorial neighbor who has gotten into more trouble than Jonah Takalua. North Korea’s recent missile launch was a “provocation, threat to international stability and another violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions,” many Western U.S. diplomats are saying. Pyongyang is a defiant little bugger, with an army standing at over 9 million, over a third of their entire population. For such a small and closeted country, North
Korea sure knows how to get a rise out of the world, like a triggerhappy Eddie Haskell. The missile disintegrated over the Yellow Sea, not over a panicstricken neighboring country, but it had the impact of proving to the world that Kim Jong-un cares less about rules than James Dean. Masao Okonogi, a Korean specialist at Kyushu University in southern Japan, stated there is now a greater risk that “The Land of the Morning Calm” will follow this spectacle up with another nuclear test. The missile test did, however, provide one positive outcome: showing the world that the country’s “technological standards are not so high.” For a country that has about as much communication with the outside world as blind man would with a deaf man while stranded on an island, it seems to be silly to expect anything more than technological ineptness. That is to say, unless they’ve created underground super laboratories like Dexter’s that hold an arsenal of high tech weaponry that Secretary of the Army in the U.S. John McHugh has only seen in his wildest sleep-aid dreams. Let out a big sigh of relief to know that North Korea has tested

two atomic devices but is “not yet believed to be able to build a nuclear warhead small enough to be mounted on a long-range missile.” Maybe if they fed their people, educated their young, introduced a little freedom and reasoned things out they wouldn’t be so far behind, so disliked and so damn far the Fonz in terms of cool. The Obama administration struck a deal back in February with the new Jong-un government where the reclusive nation agreed to halt their missile program in return for U.S. food aid. Then they go and launch a missile, with the lame excuse that it didn’t violate the deal because it was an attempt to put a satellite in orbit and not to test a ballistic missile. Well played Jong-un, but the U.S. has heard less bologna from a pack of Oscar Mayer, so the shipment of 240,000 tons of food would be suspended because of the attempted launch. Good job, Jung-un, now your people will go back to starving. The world powers need to put Jung-un in a shock collar that sends 220 volts through his stout form every time he makes an idea that’s a Napoleonic-midwinter-invasionof-Russia kind of stupid, resulting in his people’s starvation.
he culture of the American consciousness can at times be very vexing. Perhaps the most angering aspect of all is our concept of equality and justice. Since the first settlers came to this continent in the 15th century, inequality, discrimination and racism have been an integral part of our recipe for success. Within the RAYMOND past month we REID have seen this recipe on full display. The recent situation involving Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old Floridian that was shot and killed in the street by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman is our latest example. There have been many opinions put forth about this situation, some of which have been absolutely disrespectful to the life of Martin. The fact that remains and cannot be ignored is Zimmerman killed Martin. The actions of the police have come into question as the case involving Martin and Zimmerman reeks of injustice and shows hints of racism. In the mainstream media, Martin’s name has been dragged through the mud. Commentators from the right-wing conservative media who are affiliated with the Republican party, as well as other radical conservative groups, have made tireless efforts to paint Martin as a thug. They reference his gold teeth, his tattoos and his actions in school as justification for what happened to him. Perhaps the most disgusting attempt to paint Martin as the perpetrator instead of the victim came from Geraldo Rivera on Fox News. Rivera made the following statement about Martin’s choice to wear a hoodie on the night he was killed: “I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zim-
merman was,” he said, going on to state, “When you see a kid walking down the street, particularly a dark-skinned kid like my son Cruz . . . What’s the instant association? It’s those crime scene surveillance tapes. Every time you see someone sticking up a 7-Eleven, the kid’s wearing a hoodie.” Geraldo’s comments sparked anger in the minority community and outrage by Martin’s family. Of course, there were the usual suspects backing Rivera for his comments, most notably Bill O’Reilly. The racist undertones in the comments and in the support of them were now on Main Street, U.S.A. The problem isn’t that racism exists, it is that racism, discrimination and prejudice are swept under the rug, as if they are smaller issues than they really are. The most recent account of this occurred on March 24 in Pasadena, Calif. 19-year-old Kendrec McDade was shot and killed by police after a man by the name of Oscar Carrillo called 911 and reported he was robbed at gunpoint by two black men. Carrillo turned out to be lying about the armed robbery and the involvement of a gun. Police chased after McDade and alleged that he made a gesture at his waistband leading officers to think he was reaching for the gun. The officers opened fire, subsequently killing him. If wearing a hoodie is cause for being shot while unarmed, then many blacks and other minotities are in danger of becoming the next victims of this precedent that has been set for years. Members of any ethnic group can fall into this situation. We are all Trayvon Martin; we all are victims of these tragedies. The more this happens the farther we move away from attaining equality and justice in America.

utting on a play is quite an undertaking. Behind every actor you see onstage is a network of hardworking and dedicated crew members who make it all possible. One of those people is Taylor Venezio, a junior theater major and one of the Assistant Stage Managers (ASM) for the spring performance of Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace, which is currently playing at the Clifford E. White Theatre on campus. “Basically we are the stage manager’s right hand men or women,” Venezio says. “For the show we are their communications on the stage because they’re up in the booth calling the show. I have my headset on so if there are any problems she can call me
on stage, like if she needs to talk to an actor. I call places, I make sure that the crew is taken care of and that the stage is set for top of show before the house opens.” For Venezio, it is her first show as an ASM, though she has been on the costume and carpentry crew before and did some assistant directing in high school. Her real passion is performing, which she feels gives her an edge when dealing with the actors. “We are the first go-to person for the actors when it comes to any problems they are having with anything,” Venezio says. “It’s nice because I also have an actor’s point of view, so I understand exactly any problems that the actors do have and it’s interesting to have that perspective as well.”
The position of ASM requires a lot of dedication. It is a ‘first to arrive, last to leave’ job, seeing as ASMs start working on set building and lighting before the actual carpentry and electric crews are assembled. Being an ASM also requires having something that some college kids find hard to maintain: a calm demeanor. Venezio says this show hasn’t had too much trouble because the crew and cast were very easy to work with. Regardless, there will always be some snags in any show, like an actor’s pants ripping or a step coming loose. “It’s really important as an ASM to be able to keep your cool and be the central communication of the show,” Venezio says. see STAGE page 14
Students get down to Earth
NAU kicks off Earth Week BY JUSTUS BURKITT
A
pril 11 marked the first day of NAU’s Earth Week 2012 celebration, in which students and faculty participated in events to promote sustainability and share their love of all things Earth for two weeks. With over 20 events occurring around campus, including several film screenings, tours of sustainable buildings, internship information sessions, musical performances and even an undie run, the community can celebrate the Earth in many different ways. Bryan McLaren, coordinator of the Office of Sustainability, said their extensive partnerships with local businesses, the City of Flagstaff and The National Parks Service have been a large asset in making the two-week celebration possible. “We work with the City of Flagstaff ’s Sustainability Office; we work with national parks, the Grand Canyon, [and] USGS to really put a lot of these events on,” McLaren said. In addition to outside support, there will be significantly more involvement from other departments at NAU who were previously not involved in Earth Day. “The timing has worked out great,” McLaren said. “ . . . This year it’s Volunteer Week, International Education Week and Earth Week all in the same week. All three of those offices got together several months ago and tried to coordinate.” McLaren and Nick Koressel, campus sustainability specialist, are excited about the outcome of the university-wide collaboration. “[It’s] a really great opportunity,” Koressel said. “Last year, we had a lot of events, but it was a really small team with almost no resources trying to put this togeth-
er. This year we are actually bringing on official offices to help coordinate and host the event has really helped.” Koressel said having more coordinators to help manage the event relieves a lot of stress and makes each individual event more successful. “I think one of the major [differences] from this year to last year is that last year a lot of the events were being put on by five people,” Koressel said. “This year,
each [event] is a separate group of people instead.” Among the departments participating in this year’s Earth Week is ASNAU. ASNAU will be hosting two events including a free concert featuring bands The Cold Desert and A Change of Pace, and the much-anticipated Undie Run.

or Kelsey Morales and Jason Lowry, a typical Tuesday comes to an end with a hectic but successful group meeting. Both part of the Weatherization and Community Building Action Team (WACBAT), Morales and Lowry have put a lot of time and energy into the group, which acts more like a family than a cohort of students. However, their smiles and caring attitudes are not a façade as they will soon get to share their big event with the rest of NAU. WACBAT has been planning its first BlackOut event since the beginning of the semester. On Friday, April 20, the campus will turn off and unplug. “The purpose behind the event is to shut down all electrical devices within the dorms, within the buildings and have a celebration behind that,” Morales, a sophomore environmental science major, said. “It’s been a lot of work but it’s definitely been worth it.” Lowry, a graduate as-
sistant and co-facilitator of WACBAT, said the event aims to involve students in their education as well as reduce carbon usage. “I think the BlackOut itself has been an amazing opportunity for students to really become engaged and be co-creators in a project that’s going to not only impact their own academic careers, but begin to lower carbon reductions,” Lowry said. Morales explained students can look forward to free food, live music and different activities at the event. It will be held on the Wall Aquatic Field from 5-9 p.m. at the same time as the Undie Run. “At the event [students will be] getting free food, celebrating with music [and] different bands [will be] showing up,” Morales said. “Honestly, what students should be excited about is that this will be a yearly thing.” WACBAT plans on hosting this event every year, and hopes it will grow and have an impact on students and the environment. “As time goes on the event will get bigger and bigger — [it’s] just a celebration of NAU becoming carbon neutral by 2020,” Morales said. The BlackOut ties in with NAU’s week-long celebration of Earth Week, to create a more sustainable community on campus.

CouchTalk with Emily Appleton
ir Isaac Newton stated in 1687, “Every body persists in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed.” In other words, an object that is at rest will stay at rest unless an outside force acts on it. Newton was referring to the velocity and mechanics of a physical object, and although he did not apply this law to social dynamics, I see a correlation between this edict and the dynamics of assigned group labels. Research shows that a person who accepts a label given to them in high school tends to continue to accept that same label for themselves their entire life. In Newtonian terms, a high school label tends to remain accepted unless it is actively renounced or discarded by that person. In high school, we choose or are assigned a label from jock to princess to geek. Some try to maintain that label for the rest of their lives, but others cannot wait to escape it. It turns out there is some validity to the yearbook predictions. The students who were labeled as the nerds and the student government officers tended to be ambitious and successful as adults. The outcasts and dropouts tended to be more depressed, the jocks were healthier and in better shape and the kids who drank and smoke continued to do so. Pamela Herd is an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and co-director of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study — the largest and longest-running research investigation on life after high school, tracing over 10,000 participants for over 50 years. The study began when the individuals were seniors in high school and followed them through their lives. The results showed that high peer-rated crowd status was associated with higher selfesteem and more magnetism toward crowd affiliation and vice versa. The student involved in extracurricular activities in high school was more likely to be involved in community service and social causes as adults. The more friends a person had in high school, the more money they made in adulthood —
this effect was called the popularity premium. High school students who scored high on tests and earned high grades were found to excel in college, and jocks (both male and female) were more likely to be in better health, make more money and enter high-skill professions. Humans have a tendency to want to classify, rank and order in a hierarchical manner. High school students, as well as people of all ages, create labels to help separate and arrange people into groups or cliques. It seems these high school labels are used to make assumptions and judgments about people so others can decide whether to aspire to be like them, ignore them or try to date them. There are various factors that affect a person’s status in a group. The factors can range from the extracurricular activities one is involved in to some as trivial as where someone sits in the cafeteria or what brand of clothing they wear. Cliques can have positive effects on selfconfidence, and can help kids feel a sense of support, identification and belonging, which is essential to adolescent development. The downside of cliques is that they can be unreceptive to outsiders and in some cases aggressive to outcasts. Mostly, though, cliques are complex social dynamics that contain a combination of positive and negative characteristics. There are, of course, ample opportunities to rise above one’s label or fall below the level to which they are capable, given their genetic disposition and surroundings. As research suggests, often times the label you are given in high school is the label you will have for life, unless one does something to change it. To refer back to Newton’s aforementioned law, if one does not redirect the force, or in this case, the label, then that label will continue to manifest itself in one’s life.

“If anything goes wrong, we take care of it on stage.” Being a student in the NAU Theatre program, Venezio feels she has been getting a quality education with the school’s handson approach. “We have these labs called Theatre 113s where students who are taking technical classes like costume construction, lighting, sound and stagecraft . . . actually have a lab component that goes alongside where they actually run a show and work in the shop,” Venezio says. “So they help build a set if they are stagecraft and then run carpentry crew for that show. Or if they’re costume construction, they actually help build the costumes and then run costume crew for that show.” Unfortunately, the school has had to drop the Theatre Education Program due to budget cuts. While Venezio wishes to someday teach theater, for now she is setting her sights on being a part of a traveling production, which is what she did last summer. Venezio traveled with the Peaks Theatre, which is put on through the NAU theatre summer program. There she played the role of Josefina in a production of Josefina the Javelina, a play written by NAU faculty member Darby Lofstrand and adapted from the children’s book of the same name by Susan Lowell. The production traveled all over Arizona and plans to do so again this from EARTH page 13
collaboration during the planning of the event is a positive change for the organization. “In the past, we haven’t really worked with student organizations and I think it’s a really good start for us,” Smart said. “In the future we would like to continue to work with different organizations on campus and really help combine and join forces just to make these events so much larger for students.” This past year, the event expanded from a single celebration held on April 22 to an entire week. According to McLaren, this was to follow in the footsteps of other “traditionally environmental colleges.” Due in part to the NAU’s participation in President John Haeger’s commitment to carbon neutrality by the year 2020, the event had an overwhelming amount of support last year from the Office of Sustainability and the NAU community. “Last year we really wanted to focus on
summer with Venezio as Josefina. For Venezio and the cast of Arsenic and Old Lace, balancing a full production and college can be difficult, but it is a critical part of preparing themselves for a future in this realm. “It’s hard when you are getting into the run of the show because you get to the point where you are here every night and you’re here pretty late, especially the stage management team. We are the first ones to get here and the last ones to leave,” Venezio says. “Juggling school is definitely doable.” Many of the actors and stagehands have jobs on the side, but all of them still put in the effort to get the set painted in time. “Yeah, it can be stressful but if you’re getting into this field you have to take that into consideration because theatre is a lot of work to put on a show you put in a lot of hours and it’s kind of preparing us for the real world,” Venezio says. Despite all the ups and downs of working a play, Venezio is happy to be a part of the program and looks forward to a potential career in the biz. Venezio values her involvement in theatre, no matter what the capacity. “I want to always be involved in theatre, and I don’t care what job because I like all of them.”

combined 27–5 Big Sky Conference singles record for NAU’s top four women highlighted the conclusion of the team’s regular season schedule this past weekend. With wins against the Portland State Vikings and the Seattle University Redhawks, the Lumberjacks (10–12, 7–1 BSC) finished their seventh consecutive season with double digit victories. “We’ve ended very strong this season,” said director of tennis Kim Bruno. “I believe that we’re playing up to our potential; we’re going to have a great tournament.” The Lumberjacks now turn their focus to their first round opponent at the Big Sky Conference tournament, the University of Montana Grizzlies, who they defeated 4–3 in Flagstaff earlier this season. “It’s not going to be an easy match for us by any means. It’s going to come down to how hard we are going to compete, how well we’re going to play that day and anything can happen,” Bruno said. “I mean, obviously, we have some
confidence, but we’re not going to overlook this match at all.” In Sunday’s regular season finale against Seattle (12–13), NAU recorded three straight victories with a 4–3 win. Doubles play proved easier than singles for the Lumberjacks, who swept the three matches for the 1–0 lead. The tandem of juniors Ghizelene Doballah and Maliah Wahinepio and true freshmen Hannah Stone and Johanna Vang dominated their respective doubles matches with 8–3 wins. Junior Alice Walker returned to doubles play, teaming up with fellow junior Alice Pacut for the fifth time and recording a 8–4 victory. Doballah and Stone dropped singles matches at the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively. The two women dropped their first sets 6–3, and Doballah was finished in her second set 6–0 while Stone was forced to retire after her first set. The middle of the Lumberjacks’ lineup took home victories as Wahinepio, Pacaut and Vang won their matches in straight sets to clinch the match win. The weekend kicked off with the
Lumberjacks (9–12, 7–1 BSC) capping conference play with a 6–1 victory over the Vikings (4–15, 1–7 BSC). Stone and Vang improved their doubles record to 11–6 overall with an 8–6 victory. Pacaut and Walker clinched the doubles point with an 8–5 victory. The Lumberjacks’ top four players swept through singles play with straight set wins for Doballah, Stone and Vang. Wahinepio won her match in a third set tiebreaker 7–5, 4–6, 10–5. Doballah, Vang and Wahinepio improved to 7–1 in conference and Stone moved to 6–2. The Lumberjacks return to the court on April 21 for the conference tournament at Gold River Racquet Club in Sacramento, Calif. If victorious in the first round, the Lumberjacks would play in the championship match at 10 a.m. on April 22. “Every team in the Big Sky is out to get NAU. Every time we step on the court, we have to raise our level,” Bruno said. “I think it’s going to be an absolute dog fight out there. It’s going to come down to the wire and we have to be ready for that.”
New coaches turn up intensity in spring practices BY BRETT MURDOCK
T
he 2012 college football season is over five months away, but the NAU football team is preparing itself for a new Big Sky Conference. The Lumberjacks have been practicing for a little over three weeks now, including one scrimmage, and according to their head coach, are getting back to basics. “We’ve been able to do a lot more team activity,” Jerome Souers
said. “We’re getting in good fundamental work, good technique work.” Additionally, the Jacks have been able to get more reps in gamelike environments, earning the chance to play more on 11-on-11 instead of splitting up into groups, something that Souers has labeled a nice reward. “What has been a pleasant surprise is our ability to scrimmage as much as we have,” Souers said. “We’ve had more actual live work at
this point than we have as far back as I can remember.” On offense, the Jacks will once again be led by quarterback Cary Grossart, who had an efficient junior season, throwing for 2,759 yards with 16 touchdowns and a 66 percent completion rate, and looks to improve on that in 2012.

SportsReport from MURPHY page 1
Jack Murphy • Memphis (NCAA): 75-29 as asst. coach. • Has helped recruit seven top 100 players, including four McDonald’s All-Americans. • Tenth-best field goal percentage defense in NCAA in 2009 while at Memphis. • In 14 seasons, Murphy has 14 postseason apperances and five conference/division championships. • Formerly scouted for Denver Nuggets (NBA). • Former student-manager of UA teams under then-coach Lute Olson.
Murphy replaces Dave Brown, who took over on an interim basis after Mike Adras resigned in mid-December. The team went 5-22 this past season, finishing last in the Big Sky Conference, a year after advancing to the second round of the BSC tournament. “It’s not going to be without challenges,” Murphy said. “There are times where we are going to have to dig deep and think positively in negative situations.” One of those early challenges is getting adjusted to the players already entrenched with the program and who probably know a lot more about the goings-on inside the team than he does. “I’m going to reach out to each one of those young men individually and introduce myself to them,” Murphy said. “I know a little bit about them just from watching film and tape. I really want to get them acquainted with me.” Additionally, Murphy is tasked with the challenge of bringing in new players to NAU, during a spring signing period that is already under way and with many players having already made decisions about their futures. “As far as recruiting, you’re really coming down to crunch time,” Murphy said. “We’re really going to have to hit the ground running. Its going to be difficult but just right now I’m trying to reach out to student-athletes that share my vision about NAU.” Looking toward the future, no one person can predict where the program will be in a few of years, but Murphy wants to make sure that he does everything in his power to assure the people of Flagstaff and the NAU fans alike that he wants to be here and is the right man for the job. “I feel like I’m one of them and that this is not my team. This is our team, our university,” Murphy said. “I’m just looking to take the next step. I’m going to be out there with the community as a face they know and recognize. Sometimes they’ll probably even get sick of seeing my face.” Murphy was formally introduced to the public at a press conference Monday afternoon in which he spoke about his goals for the program.

Volleyball looks to new recruits for fall season
R
BY ALLI JENNEY
ecognizing their dominant start to this past year, the women’s volleyball team hopes to come out with the same strength, but with a fire to remain with them through the season. Coach Craig Choate enters his fifth season as head coach, and with five seniors from his original 2008 recruiting class, has high expectations for the upcoming season. “You know we were a really good volleyball team last year, but we let something get in our way,” said Choate. “We’re physically a better volleyball team next year. So, hopefully the lesson learned is, if there is an outside distraction, you have to leave it outside. You can get better and not have a better record. Are we going to be a better team? I fully expect us to be that.” The players agree with this feeling as well, and senior outside hitter Lexi Sullivan anticipates a competitive season. “We have five seniors, so that alone is a big deal, because that’s a lot of people on a volleyball team that can contribute, because every senior wants to win,” Sullivan said. “It’s just in them, there’s something about it, to come out and kill it. So I think that alone, having that fire in this group with our young kids and the sophomores, just as a whole is going to be a really intense and fun season.” A strong recruiting class adds depth and creates position battles. This year’s recruiting class features middle blocker Payton Bock, Tempe, outside hitters Trianna Henry, Phoenix, and Janae Vander Ploeg, Colorado Springs, Colo. Additionally, junior transfer, from South Mountain Community College, setter Erin Truett, originally from Goodyear, joins the team. Henry, a four-year varsity starter and twoyear captain, led her team to four consecutive Arizona state titles, with only one loss in league play. Bock’s team went 101-27 during her four years, finishing 33-9 her senior year, in which they were No. 3 in Arizona. Vander Ploeg, a member of a four-time Colorado state champion team was awarded the state champion MVP her junior and senior seasons, as well as the Denver Post 4A Player of the Year and two conference player of the year honors. Truett was named a National Junior College Athletic Association All–Region selection and garnered Arizona Community College Athletic Conference All–Conference Division II second-team honors this past season with the South Mountain Cougars.

ber of the Wildcats squad at Kansas State her freshman season, but injury brought her back to Arizona. Choate expects her to bring competition to the team as a whole, and to the setting position specifically. “We only have one setter in the program right now, so having another setter is going to help us out immensely. You can do that by bringing in anybody; we got lucky we brought in a good one. We talked to her out of high school and she opted for Kansas State, and Kansas State is a big time program so [we] didn’t mind losing out to them, really,” Choate said. “She makes competition. We already had competition at the outside hitting and middle block and we didn’t have that at the setter position and now we do. Competition doesn’t always make players comfortable, but it’s good for us. It’s good for the team. So that’s the immediate thing she brings.” See the rest of the article at NORTHERNARIZONANEWS.COM

ith a pair of seniors finishing their Lumberjack careers, the NAU men’s tennis team sent them out on a high note as they snapped an eight-match losing streak. In Sunday’s season finale, the Lumberjacks (6–16, 2–6 Big Sky Conference) emerged with a 6–1 victory over the Seattle University Redhawks (4–6). Seniors Ben Lantz and Robin Pezzutto each took home a pair of wins as they bid farewell to their college careers. “You know we played well, but we also didn’t play as strong of teams that we played earlier in the season,” said director of tennis Kim Bruno. “Was it great to see them win, for sure. There’s no question about that. We were competing a little bit better, but it’s a little too late for that unfortunately.” For the second match in a row, the Lumberjacks swept the doubles point and took an early 1–0 lead in the match. Pezzuto and junior Robert Martin won 8–4 to take the first match, while Lantz and junior Patrick Schimmelbauer followed with a 9–8 (8–6) win. In singles play, Pezzutto won 6–3, 6–3 in the No. 1 spot and Lantz pushed his match to a third set tiebreaker, in which he
squeaked out a 4–6, 6–1, 1–0 (11–9) victory. “That was definitely what all of us were talking about prior to going into this weekend, how we really had to step up for our seniors and it was great to see that,” Bruno said. “That felt good for the team and for those guys for sure.” Just a day earlier, Big Sky Conference play wrapped up for the Lumberjacks (5–16, 2–6 BSC), as they downed the Portland State Vikings (2–17, 0–8 BSC) with a 6–1 victory. The Lumberjacks opened the match by sweeping the doubles point for the first time since March 10, when they did so against Utah State. Singles play proved just as successful for the Lumberjacks, taking the first three decisions to clinch the match victory. Sophomore Dominic Bermudez improved to 7–1 in conference singles play and 12–9 overall with his straight set victory at the No. 3 position. Pezzutto dropped his match at the No. 1 position before Lantz and Martin finished the day in straight sets for the 6–1 win. “At least we ended on a high note. That’s important,” Bruno said. “To get two more wins under our belt in the last bit of the regular season feels pretty good, especially when we’ve been searching for that win for quite a while now.”

ll–Big Sky Honorable Mention and Golden Eagle Scholar–Athlete her freshman year, sophomore middle blocker Sydney Kemper of the women’s volleyball team took time with The Lumberjack to dig into her life off the court. Lumberjack: Do you have any nicknames? Sydney Kemper: Skyd or Skydney. LJ: And what’s the story behind that? SK: Just friends from back home used to call me that and I think somehow someone heard it or read it and now they call me that. LJ: So just the team calls you that? Or your friends here too? SK: Yeah, both. LJ: So how’d you get into volleyball? SK: One of my best friends played and I went and watched her play and I thought it was the coolest things ever, so I just had to play. So senior year I quit basketball to play volleyball. LJ: Basketball aside, what are your other hobbies? SK: Well I like to hike. I love the mountains. I like to snowboard. LJ: Where’s the best place to hike around here? SK: Around here? I actually haven’t been, but back home we have a mountain. And Sedona. I went there once and it was pretty nice. LJ: If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go? SK: Probably Spain. My sister traveled there and she loved it and she sent me pictures, and I think I would just love it. Not only the scenery, but the environment and the atmosphere and the people. It’d be a blast. LJ: Let’s move on to food then. What’s your favorite food? SK: My favorite type of food is Mexican food. LJ: And what about drink?
SK: Grape soda. LJ: If you had one last meal on Earth, what would it be? SK: My last meal, hmmm, there’s a restaurant back home called Dion’s. It’s a pizza, salad [and] sub place. It’s so good. LJ: Do you have any idols or role models that you look up to? SK: My parents mostly. LJ: How about the rest of your family? I saw you have a lot of siblings. SK: Yeah, I have two older brothers, two younger brothers and an older sister, so probably my older sister too. LJ: What’s one thing you can’t live without? SK: It’s probably bad to say, but my cell phone. LJ: If you could have any superpower, what would it be? SK: Oh, this is a tough one. I think about this one a lot actually. I want to be invisible and I want to fly. [After much internal debate, Kemper narrowed it down to two.] LJ: How about a celebrity crush? Crushes? SK: Channing Tatum. [Upon second thought.] Oh, actually Ryan Reynolds. LJ: What’s your favorite Ryan Reynolds movie? SK: Crazy Stupid Love! LJ: No, isn’t that Ryan Gosling? SK: [Eyes widen with shock.] Is that Ryan Gosling? LJ: The one from The Notebook? SK: Oh yeah, I’m totally sorry. That’s who I meant. I’m so sorry. [Laughing.] LJ: Most played song on your iPod right now? SK: Honestly, my computer died and I lost all my iTunes. Right now, Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.”

[Adult Swim] Carnival Tour gives students a taste of the weird BY ALLIE WEINTRAUB
D
espite the inclement weather, a crowd of students flocked to the Fieldhouse on April 14 for a night of music, wacky games and prizes. The event, brought to NAU by SUN Entertainment, was the eighth stop along the Adult Swim Carnival Tour. Running adjunction to Cartoon Network, Adult Swim is a late-night cable network known for its unorthodox programming geared toward young adults. Implemented to market Adult Swim as a brand, the carnival made its debut several years ago with only one tour in the spring. Since then, it has grown to include both a spring and fall tour, with each tour reaching 10 cities nationwide. “This is a free show for students,” said Mike Smolanoff, senior production manager of the tour. “All the games, all the prizes, everything is free. [The carnival] promotes new programming and content that Adult Swim has coming out by throwing a fun party for people.” The venue was transformed into a festive
atmosphere with various booths and a stage outlining the perimeter of the enclosure, which covered about half the size of the entire Fieldhouse. The booths included “Balloonicorn Blow Out,” a game in which participants had to pop balloons using a makeshift unicorn horn attached to their head, a picture-taking booth and an arcade where carnival-goers could play the popular video game Mass Effect 3. The musical entertainment of the night was Flosstradamus, the stage name of Chicago-based DJs Josh Young and Curt Cameruci. Alexis Reed, a freshman business and marketing major, said she wasn’t particularly familiar with Adult Swim, but the promise of a free carnival and T-shirt is what ultimately enticed her to show up. “I really like all the carnivals NAU puts on,” Reed said. “[At the Adult Swim Carnival] the ‘Black Hole of Fun’ was interesting. You went into a dark room and they had all these holes you had to reach your hand in. One of them had a prize inside. My favorite part was probably the fact that they had screen printing
on site for whatever T-shirt you wanted. That was pretty cool.” At each school, the carnival has garnered between 1,500 and 3,000 people. The attendance number varies depending on certain factors such as student interest and weather conditions, Smolanoff said. “I think we end up getting a lot of new people who are wondering what’s going on,” Smolanoff said. “Sometimes the talent draws people in and sometimes they see videos online of past events and just want to check it out. Then you have some of your diehard Adult Swim fans that have known about the event for a couple of months and have been waiting for it.” The Fieldhouse was bustling with both Adult Swim fans and curious students all wanting to get a piece of the carnival action. Junior sociology major Dorothy Dalton said she had a great time at the various booths and taking pictures with her friends. “I thought it would be bigger than it was,” Dalton said. “Even though it was small, it was still fun.”

Explosions in the Sky
The post-rock group from Texas will be playing at the Orpheum Theatre on April 22. (Photo courtesy Nick Simonite) BY DEREK SCHROEDER
P
ost-rock heavy hitters Explosions in the Sky have been at it for more than a decade, slowly building an impressive discography with a presence on just about every self-respecting music nerd’s iPod. In a genre where it is easy to be lost in the static, Explosions in the Sky have consistently kept their place in the front of the wolf pack. They will be performing live at the Orpheum Theater on April 22 at 8 p.m. and are set to rock Coachella this weekend as well. Drummer Chris Hrasky chatted with The Lumberjack recently about life, love and the meaning of everything . . . well, Cadillac commercials actually. The Lumberjack (LJ): I noticed you guys are playing a lot of smaller venues on this tour. Do you hate playing places like Phoenix as much as we hate Phoenix shows? Chris Hrasky (CH): (Laughs) We don’t hate Phoenix but we’ve never really gotten a good vibe playing down there. We’ve never played Flagstaff but we’ve been through here and we liked it. Last year we did more big cities. Aside from like Coachella and some of the
festivals, we’re playing a lot of smaller cities that we’ve never played before. LJ: Is there much of a difference playing a smaller venue? CH: They’re definitely smaller shows but they are still decent in size. A lot of times the crowds in the smaller places are actually more enthusiastic, you know, maybe we don’t come through as much so the crowd responds to that. We like playing big cities too, but there is something really enjoyable about playing smaller cities. You can’t help but feel a little bit less pressure so I feel like we often play a lot better in that environment. When we played at Radio City Music Hall last year we were terrified. When the crowd is super excited, then you just feel better — you start to lose yourself a lot more. LJ: I’m sure as an instrumental group that has an even more of an impact too. On the other hand, do you think being an instrumental group limits your audience? CH: When we start playing I feel like our audience is really diverse at this point. We’ll have the 30-year-old hardcore indie fan and then like a married couple and we really en-
joy that. We like the idea that our music offers something to a lot of different people because we definitely don’t want to listen to us. If there is, like, some high school jock that somehow finds an emotional connection to our music then that’s great. LJ: Yeah, probably from his girlfriend. I know a lot of people know you from Friday Night Lights and I hear you behind just about every NPR segment. How do you avoid just being background music for TV? CH: Yeah, we think about that a lot. Whenever we get offered a commercial, it’s always a like a philosophical discussion because when we write the songs what’s going through our minds is not a Microsoft commercial. If I hear a song that I really love in a commercial, I can’t help it; it lessens my love for it. At the same time there’s this weird balance of the way of life we’ve chosen and if we want to keep doing it we have to make certain decisions to keep doing what we do. Sometimes we’ll turn them down; sometimes we say yes. LJ: Who did you turn down? CH: We turned down a big bank because the ad was all about, you know, ‘How we’re help-
ing getting the economy back on track’ and this was a bank involved in all those garbage mortgages. If we have a strong moral objection, we won’t do it. About five or six years ago, though, we did do a Cadillac commercial, which was kind of weird decision, but at the same time we needed the money. When we were growing up, indie-rock bands didn’t have songs in anything and now it’s such a different environment. LJ: What’s it like playing drums for a post-rock band? Do you guys live and breath music? CH: Playing drums in this band is more fun than like a normal rock band, for all of us really, because there’s so much room to develop your own style. It’s weird none of us are like music nerds, I feel embarrassed even saying it. None of us really follow much music. Not necessarily. We love music, but I’m not going to love a record because the drumming is great. Like, I’ll love it if it all works together. Look at the White Stripes — she’s not like a great drummer but it totally works for that band. To me that’s more important than being able to play something amazing. We’re into that more than being technical.

Russian finale for the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra
I
BY GINA MATHEWS
n celebration of the Russian Easter holiday this past weekend, the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra (FSO) held its final show of the season entitled The Russian Finale. The orchestra and Shrine of the Ages Choir performed several pieces from Russian composers. It was a lovely night to enjoy the FSO's final performance. The show opened with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s beautiful composition “Russian Easter Festival: Overture on Themes from the Russian Church, Op. 36.” After, the orchestra performed an exquisite piece by Igor Stravinksy, “Symphony of Psalms.” To conclude the show, FSO chorale and choir sang the work of Sergey Prokofiev, “Suite from Alexander Nevsky, Op. 78.” The night before the show, Elizabeth Schulze, conductor of the FSO, gave a brief overview of the event. “There will be about 150 singers and 80 players in this performance,”
said Schulze. “This is our seventh or eighth performance. We chose the Russian Finale because of the Russian Easter that will be happening this weekend.” Arash Ertefai, a junior violin performance major and violinist in the concert, was excited to be working with the orchestra. “This is my first full season with FSO, although I played one concert last year,” said Ertefai, “My favorite piece [in] this concert by far is Prokofiev’s ‘Alexander Nevsky.’ The sheer emotion portrayed through music is astounding. [It is] really powerful music that truly shows the composer’s brilliance and inner conflict.” Joe Herman, a Shrine of the Ages Choir member, said he throroughly enjoyed the final FSO performance of the season. “This was a really fun concert, particularly the Nevsky and the low Csharps,” said Herman. Following the performance, Ash-

ley Burke, a sophomore exercise science major, joyously praised the final performance. “My favorite piece was RimskyKorsakov’s ‘Russian Easter Festival’ because the instruments’ individual sounds were each showcased but at the same time blended together so well,” said Burke. “I thought the musicians were all very talented and seemed passionate about the music.” Schulze also praised her orchestra’s work over the season. “I’m really proud of the season we’ve had,” said Schulze. “And we have a super season coming up. I’m really excited.” The FSO’s website currently features a sneak peak for their upcoming 63rd season. Click on the Concerts and Venues tab and scroll to the bottom to access the sneak-peak PDF.

Green Room hosts BY TREVOR GOULD AND MADDIE FRIEND

uring the heyday of the British Invasion, The Beatles and Rolling Stones were always at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Beatles were clean-cut English blokes whose daring musical innovations and songwriting complexity reshaped the mainstream musical landscape. The Rolling Stones were the bad boy rockers whose bluesy tunes and catchy riffs filled the airwaves with a sense of rebellion and youthful indiscretion. This Friday, they will be battling once again at the Green Room in the Beatles vs. Stones show, featuring the tribute bands Jumping Jack Flash and Abbey Road battling it out for musical supremacy. The two groups will engage in a musical face-off through five alternating power sets, culminating with an encore performance by both bands. Audiences should expect to hear hits from both groups. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show officially begins at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $15-$18 at the Green Room and Rainbow’s End.

Lockout
Artist: Of Monsters and Men Album: My Head is an Animal Genre: Emo-Folk
BY DEREK SCHROEDER

t any given time one — or all — of the great purveyors of new music (NPR, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Spin, et al) are most likely super stoked on a particular band or project. While Stereogum blows their wad over the exhaustingly inaccessible new Flaming Lips project, NPR has the adorable Icelandic folk outfit Of Monsters and Men in a half-nelson dragging them around the party saying, “Dude! Have you met these kids from Iceland? It’s like if Arcade Fire and Edward Sharpe had children and Peter, Paul and Mary were their babysitters!” They went so far as to even cheat, and put their debut album on their best of 2011 list even though the album didn’t come out in the U.S. until April 3 — to which I asked myself: “Who cares?” Regardless of their affiliation with the NPR hypemachine, the adorable kids from Reykjavik have the chops and the production to back up their bark. Plus as an added bonus, they clearly understand the significance silly sweaters and dirty flannel play in an indie band’s success. I can’t deny Of Monsters and Men will ride the success of My Head is an Animal for far longer than is palatable, just like Mumford and Sons. Kids these days love that emotionally charged folk, I tell ya’. The first song I heard off the debut was “Little Talks”— a swathing pub shanty of sorts that wears on your patience with each increasing, “Hey!” and its obligatory trumpet honks. What Of Monsters and Men lack in picking a single that accurately represents their sound, they more than make up for by writing numerous single-worthy tracks. They are folk-pop chemists, cleverly mixing a deadly potency of group chants, intricately catchy choruses, handclaps, acoustic guitar and lyrics chock full of hormonal metadata. What’s surprising is just how good My Head is an Animal is as a fledgling endeavor. The variability between concepts is both engaging and self-aware giving the execution the sincerity it needs. The vocal interplay between the female and male vocalists (whose names contain more symbols than letters) is that kind of harmony that resonates through the universe like it was meant to be and the songwriting is both (im) mature and imaginative, giving them plenty of room to spread their wings in the coming years. The only thing Of Monsters and Men will suffer from is market saturation, alienating them from the ranks of audiophiles who can’t stand to have their music found by other people’s ears. Those poor, poor kids won’t know what they’re missing.

hey may not always be the most sophisticated pieces of cinematic art, but the explosive violence and gruff heroes of action movies hold a special place in the history of film. There have been many classics, such as Escape from New York and Total Recall, that have captured many hearts, and while Lockout isn’t quite on par with these two giants, it gets the one thing every action movie needs to get right: It’s entertaining. Taking place in 2079, the orbital maximum security prison MS-1 has been taken over by its dangerous and mostly psychopathic prisoners. To make matters worse, the president’s daughter Emilie (Maggie Grace) was onboard during a mission of good will. Not wanting to risk her death in an all-out assault, the U.S. Secret Service sends Snow (Guy Pearce), an exCIA agent who has been wrongfully accused of espionage, to sneak aboard and rescue her. Snow has a mission of his own, however, as the one man who knows how to clear his name is also hidden on MS-1.

f you’re looking for the perfect mix of chills, twists and laughter, then Joss Whedon’s The Cabin in the Woods is the movie for you. In an homage to classic horror movies as well as a humorous nod to the more campy parts, The Cabin in the Woods offers something for everyone. The plot involves a group of unlucky teenagers about to head out to a cousin’s lake cabin. Our cast of characters include the token black guy, the blonde, the jock, the innocent girl and the comic relief. As the story pro-
I know many other critics are going to accuse this “rescue the president’s daughter” plot as cliché and dated, but I think it’s nice to have a little throwback to the action movies of the 80s every once in a while. The villains get over-the-top, the hero plays by his own rules, things explode and it’s just so much fun to watch. That being said, I did have several problems with the way this scenario played out. Many of the situations occurred due to a simple case of luck or idiocy, which I see as bad writing in most cases, and the hero was way too uninvolved in the film’s climax to make it as exciting as it should have been. Probably one of the most important components of any action movie is the hero, and Guy Pearce all but carries the movie as the likable and wise-cracking Snow. His one-liners got a chuckle out of me every time, and we get a great deal of character from him. Maggie Grace as Emilie did a fine job as well, but her character was a little pompous and annoying in the beginning. This could be character development, but her attitude
made it a little hard for me at times to care whether Snow saved her. Vincent Regan and Joseph Gilgun make okay villains and play off each other well as the “leader” and the “insane psychopath,” but often I couldn’t really understand the latter’s thick accent. The supporting cast is alright, but no one really stood out. Aside from Snow’s arm lying across his chest before magically appearing at his waist while waiting in his jail cell, there weren’t any noticeable errors in the continuity or in the special effects. The film flowed at a decent pace too, but it seemed a little too rushed at the end. The script was serviceable for an 80s action flick, but if it wasn’t for the aforementioned idiocy of some of the characters there wouldn’t have been a movie. Though it may not have been the most original movie out there, I enjoyed Lockout like I enjoyed the action movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger or Kurt Russell. This film is perfect for a guy’s night out, when all that matters are explosions, funny one-liners and attractive women.
Cabin in the Woods gresses, the audience has one question, “Why is this happening at all?” First, the intrigue alone keeps the audience glued to their seats. Gradually, you learn more about the process behind this event and the reasons for its occurrence. Not only do you have the chills associated with teenagers dying by a lake, but the inside story is fascinating as well. Second, the acting was phenomenal. From the doe-eyed Dana to the stereotypically high Marty, each character was portrayed brilliantly. Although each character was a stereotype, it was not in a ridiculous man-
ner, but was rather a necessary plot device (and key to the story of horror movies in general). The special effects were a little lacking, which made some of the scenes in the movie less impressive than they could have been. This was only a minor problem, but it did make the scary moments less dramatic. Overall, The Cabin in the Woods was fantastic and I recommend it to horror movie buffs everywhere. There are plenty of references to iconic films that make this a movie worth watching again.
