Students save money, stay fi t
Saving money while staying healthy and fit may seem improb-able to college students, but, with dedication, having a beach body by summer is an obtainable goal.
Not only is there a free-to-use weight room for students in the University of Memphis Recreational Center, there are frequent classes to assist college students who have trouble balancing their fitness with an already stacked schedule.
“The Rec Center offers free
classes such as Zumba, aerobics and yoga that all members and students are able to attend, and they offer free physical assess-ments,” Debra Wyatt, an exercise and sports science professor, said. “The recreation center is definitely the main place a student can go
because it has so many options of cardio, weights, sports, swimming and other activities.”
Intramural sports are also a pos-itive way to stay fit that some stu-dents don’t consider. It’s an effective way to stay fit while also making

Peddler Bike Shop expanding to new location on Walker Avenue
The Peddler Bike Shop has kicked off construction in its new building and is expected to open in May 2014.
The shop will be moving to the former YMCA building located
at 3548 Walker Ave. It will be housed in the former pool area of the building. The estimated cost to complete this project is not known.
“The new shop will have a bet-ter layout and will be more con-ducive for the business,” Court Percer, the current manager, said.
The Peddler Bike Shop has been a part of the University District for more than 40 years. The shop was located at 3573 Southern Ave. until it moved to its current loca-tion at 575 S. Highland St.
This expansion will be one of the first projects of the new Walker Avenue Streetscape Project
that will begin at the end of the year.
“We are supporting the re-devel-opment of Walker Avenue,” Percer said. “It’s like pre-redevelopment.”
Contractors have begun fill-ing the pool, and the roof is also

With the success of undead-related media, including video games like the “Left 4 Dead” and “Resident Evil” and TV shows like AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” the zombie apocalypse has never been so popular. But one professor asserts that the zombie apocalypse actually perpetuates anti-govern-ment rhetoric and fear.
Eric King Watts, an associate professor of media communica-tion studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, will lecture about the pervasiveness of the zombie apocalypse in the media and how it feeds a culture of fear and paranoia. The lecture will take place in room 314 of the Art and Communication Building at 1:15 p.m. Friday.
Media related to the end of the world has always been popular, but the zombie apocalypse is relatively new. The cornerstone of the con-cept is director George Romero’s 1968 film “Night of the Living Dead,” the start of a series of movies and the basis for many ideas about the zombie.
From there, the idea gained trac-tion as anxieties over modern life mounted. The common themes of the undead uprising — a small band of survivors, isolated from presumably overrun organs of gov-ernment and order holding out against an unstoppable horde — resonated with certain sectors of the population.
Marina Levina, a profes-sor at the University’s college of Communication and Fine Arts and a fan of monster and horror media, will teach a class on monster mov-ies during the fall semester of 2014. For her, the zombie apocalypse is rooted in pop culture perhaps more so now than prior generations.
“Especially post 9/11, there’s been a lot of anxiety about the world collapsing,” Levina said. “The ‘monster’ can come out of nowhere and we have no way to stop them.”
Levina suggests that zombies are

being replaced because of the harsh chemicals that leach out and cause corrosion in some of the metal materials.
The Peddler caters to everyone with its bikes ranging from kids to advance racers. Since many of its customers are students at the University of Memphis who come to rent, buy or get repairs, the new shop’s location closer to campus will be beneficial.
“We’re really excited to be closer to campus,” Percer said.
Percer believes the new store will increase the amount of cus-tomers that visit because they will be able to access the store more easily.
“It is a major plus to be in an easily accessible place,” he said. “We support walkers — the people who don’t have cars.”
Although the new location will be easy accessible to walkers, the new building will also include an increase in parking and inventory.
Student Daniel Glover agrees that expanding the store is a great, idea for the bike shop.
“Their selections of bikes are great, but I think they will be able to add more to their selection once they expand,” Glover said.
Construction is underway on Walker Avenue where a backhoe moves dirt in front of the future site of the Peddler Bike Shop.

According to Percer, the new location will have a slight increase in floor models, increasing from 125 bikes to 140 bikes.
“We (customers) will also have more space to move around the floor with the bikes,” Glover said.
What customers will not see is an increase in employees. The Peddler plans to keep the same
amount of staff it currently has.“We probably will eventually
hire new people if we see a need for it,” said Andy Jamison, employee of The Peddler Bike Shop.
As time gets closer, the shop will begin publishing the opening of the new store. As of now, the opening is only word-of-mouth.
Many customers like Michael Bowen are unaware of the new
store’s opening.“It will be a surprise to a lot of
people,” Bowen said. The Peddler has previously been
remodeled, and this move will be its third round of remodeling.
“It would be nice to start with a clean slate,” Percer said.
The Peddler has two other loca-tions in the MidSouth, including Southaven and Germantown.

friends in the process.“My basketball intramural team
is my way of winding down dur-ing long school weeks,” Jonathan Bailey, an accounting major, said. “It doesn’t cost anything, and it’s a way for me and all my friends to keep in shape, while also being in a competitive atmosphere.”
According to Samantha Passman, a health and sports science graduate assistant, it is crucial for people to
maintain good health through some form of a fitness regimen. Even if students don’t have time to fit the Rec Center’s courses into their schedule, they should make time to do some type of daily physical activity.
“There is always time,” Passman said. “You just have to figure out when to put it into your schedule, instead of taking a nap mid-day or scrolling through social media for 30 minutes, do a 30-minute workout at home instead.”
Avoiding physical activity can add unnecessary weight on the
body while also making already exhausted college students even more fatigued. For many students who visit the Rec Center, working out not only relieves stress but also prepares them for the day by keep-ing them motivated.
“Every day I have some type of task, assignment or job to do,” Richard Graham, engineering major and fitness advocate, said. “It’s got-ten to the point now if I don’t work out, I won’t be able to accomplish most of what I got going on during the day.”
For the commuters who are
always on the move, fitting in a bal-anced, homemade lunch into their afternoon may be a viable option.
“Personally, I find it easier to stick to a healthy diet during the semester because I’m on a specific schedule, and I can plan around it,” Wyatt said.
For Heather Chambliss, health and sports science instructor, the outcome from exercise is worth squeezing into hectic schedules. While it may seem impossible, there is a workout for everyone.
“Being fit is worth the effort,” she said. “The key is to find activities
that you enjoy and that fit into your schedule. I encourage all students to explore the variety of fitness opportunities that the University of Memphis offers.”
According to Wyatt, there is no limit when it comes to the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. With an on-campus Rec Center dedicat-ed to helping students stay healthy and fit, it all begins with personal dedication.
“There are so many benefits of staying fit and I believe that you are the best reason. Do it for you,” Wyatt said.

seen as an easy-to-digest way of explaining the things people are afraid of — such as a global pandem-ic, societal upheaval or the collapse of the US government. Zombies are a malevolent, unthinking entity that cannot be easily understood — much like concerns over terrorism or economic collapse.
For those reasons, the zombie apocalypse has been a big topic of discussion among “preppers” — people who prepare for a hypotheti-cal (some say inevitable) collapse of civilization.
Zombiehunters.org is the online home of Zombie Squad International, a non-profit orga-nization devoted to disaster pre-paredness. It’s one of the biggest online discussion forums related to disaster preparedness and sur-vivalism, boasting almost 50,000 members who discuss the zombie apocalypse.
The zombie apocalypse sells
Page 1Zombie well, too. In 2011, financial news
website 24/7 Wall St. estimated that zombie-related media was a $5 bil-lion business and was only growing larger. Gun, knife and ammunition manufacturers are cashing in on it.
Even government organizations are getting into the act. The Centers for Disease Control use the idea of a zombie apocalypse to help people understand how to prepare for real-world disasters such as earthquakes and floods. Reams of data have been produced by government and educational institutions, all trying to determine just how ruinous a zombie uprising would be — and how best to apply those lessons to real disaster preparedness.
Some research is more vital than others — such as whether or not zombies would still have to pay their taxes. According to Arizona State University law professor Adam Chodorow, they would — though whether or not zombies are considered to be the same person undead as they were alive (and how this would affect taxation) is a mat-ter of debate.

Two years ago, Lorraine Griffin received news no person ever wants to hear — she had stage IV breast cancer.
Fast forward to February 2014, and she’s still fighting. She receives chemotherapy every 21 days, but she spends the 20 days in between each treatment work-ing at Raymond James Financial, Inc. and spreading hope and life to others.
On March 8, her hope will extend to the University of Memphis campus where she plans to host a trivia night in coordina-tion with the men’s tennis team.
Her son, K.C. Griffin was on the team at the time of her diag-nosis, and she said head coach Paul Goebel and his players couldn’t have been more support-ive of her and her family.
“I just got a lot of emotional support from coach Goebel and the other players,” Griffin said. “At that point, I learned Paul (Goebel) was always encourag-ing his players to get involved in the community and get involved with something bigger than themselves.”
All the proceeds from the fundraiser will funnel directly into the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research, and payments should be made payable to The Jimmy V Foundation.
Griffin said she holds the Jimmy V Foundation dear to heart because much of her treatment was experimental and a result of the type of research done through the Jimmy V Foundation, which has raised over $100 million for cancer research.
“The most important thing for people to realize is that all of this money is going to can-cer research,” she said. “Since it saved my life, research is the most important thing to me.”
Griffin said that after her first year of treatment, she knew she wanted to do something with an organization besides Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The Jimmy V Foundation seemed like a per-fect fit because Griffin loves col-lege basketball.
The event is scheduled for March 8 at 6 p.m. at the Athletic Office Building in room 185. Check-in begins at 6 p.m., but the
first round starts at 6:45 p.m. Goebel is excited to bring his
team together to help find a cure for such a deadly disease.
“Cancer has touched every person’s life,” he said. “And our men’s tennis team is grateful to have some way to help support research for cancer treatments.”
Griffin hopes to make the trivia fundraiser an annual event. She’s holding it in March because Jim Valvano, who started the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research, coached college basketball, and he is famous for his runs through the NCAA Tournament with North Carolina State in March.
Her goal for the event is to raise at least $5,000, and she said there may be some special guest appearances but couldn’t make
any promises.Participants can bring their
own snacks and beverages. The idea to do trivia originated for parties Griffin participates in with the Catholic church.
“Everybody brings their own snacks, drinks and alcohol,” Griffin said. “It’s just a fun three hours, then the younger people can go do other things and the older people are home and in bed by 10.”
The trivia teams will be made up of eight people at $30 per person, but teams can consist of fewer players as long as they pay the full $240. Participants can reserve a table for eight for only $200 if they mail payment to 4626 Cedar Rose Dr., Millington, Tenn., 38053, by Monday.
