This week, UCF’s Greek organizations are observing the annual National HazingPrevention Week to promote the prevention of hazing on college campuses.
Greeks push against hazing
UCF is making a name for itself in the field ofmedicine with a little help from a $5.5 milliongrant.
The National Institutes of Health grantedUCF and the University of Florida money fortheir partnered sci-ence researchstudy on hemo-philia A and B.These were jointapplications by Dr.Henry Daniell’s,UCF, and Dr.Roland Herzog’s,UF, labs for fund-ing. One of the twoapplications was inresponse to arequest by the NIHfor applications inbioengineeringresearch partner-ships.
“I am sure everymedical school inthe United Statesthat has a research component applies for thesetypes of grants,” said Herzog, professor of pedi-atrics, molecular genetics and microbiology atUF.
According to the U.S. National Library ofMedicine, hemophilia is a bleeding conditionwhere your body does not produce the proteinsyou require for your blood to clot. This is a genet-ic condition that is typically found in males.

As UCF enrollmentincreases, so does nationalrecognition. Now, the uni-versity is a school-to-watch,according to a new reportpublished this week.
Tuesday, UCF earned theNo. 4 slot in U.S. News &World Report’s “Up-and-Coming Schools” best col-lege rankings for 2012.
According to the report,the rankings recognize uni-versities that show promis-ing and positive changes inacademics, faculty, studentsand campus life. ClemsonUniversity in South Caroli-na also tied for fourth.
“This ranking truly rep-resents the overall quality,depth and breadth of all ourprograms at the university,”
Grant Heston, assistant vicepresident of UCF News &Information, said.
UCF is the only Floridaschool ranked in the top 5.The University of SouthFlorida came in four spotslater at No. 8.
“The university is a greatschool for academics andcampus life,” freshmannursing pending majorAmanda Serafin said. “Iknew when I chose to cometo school here I would getthe best education.”
Along with the up-and-coming list, UCF also stoodout among 1,300 other

Offering vibrant cup-cake flavors such aspeanut butter, s’moresand orange cream dream,the Yum Yum Truck is infor a big rush, much to theexcitement of Joey Coni-cella, a UCF alumnus andone of the co-founders ofthe cupcake truck.
After being in businessfor about six months, theYum Yum Truck has
agreed on a contract withAramark, one of thelargest food service com-panies in the world, to sellcupcakes on the UCFcampus.
“They took a risk withus, but it’s great; everyoneis very excited,” said Con-icella, who runs the truck
with co-founder andbaker, Alex Marin.“They’re really wantingus to succeed and areembracing the fact thatwe’re young entrepre-neurs and associated withUCF.”

In an age where tweets and Face-book statuses rule the web, phonesand general conversation, companiesare finding new ways to use evolvingforms of communication as an advan-tage.
Sergio Camacho just moved toOrlando to start his freshman year atUCF, but a whole slew of people hedidn’t know a month ago already rec-ognize him from the Internet.
A pending advertising and publicrelations major, Camacho entered acontest on the site About.me thatchallenged him to accrue more voteson his profile than anyone else bySept. 20. The contest has requiredhim to get his name and face outthere, and fast.
Camacho is currently in the top-5percent of all contest participants.
If he wins, he’ll be flown up toNew York City where he’ll get theopportunity to rub elbows withimportant names in advertising andwatch the unveiling of an About.mebillboard in Times Square that fea-tures a larger-than-life blowup of hislikeness.
“I know that in the networkingindustry and social media in general,this would present a lot of greatopportunities if I were to get that sortof coverage,” Camacho said.
About.me is a customizable-pro-file site that acts as a hub for otherforms of social media. Generally, thepages are simple, featuring a photo ofthe user, a description and buttons tobrowse the users’ Facebook, Twitterand Tumblr profiles.
Jim Hobart, visiting instructor forthe UCF advertising and public rela-tions department, said that advertis-ing contests such as the one Camachois participating in are becoming anincreasingly popular way for compa-nies to get their name out there.
Hobart said that social media hasdrastically changed the face of adver-tising, and consumers no longer trusttraditional forms of product promo-tion. Thus, companies, includingwebsites, are coming up with ways toengage consumers in ways that capti-vate attention via networking.
According to a study cited inSocialnomics: How Social MediaTransforms the Way We Live and Do
Business by Erik Qualman, only 14percent of present-day consumerstrust traditional forms of advertise-ment such as banners and billboards;the remaining 78 percent make theireconomic decisions based on purerecommendation.
“We’ve become a very cynical andjaded audience,” Hobart said. “Unlessa friend or a colleague on Facebooktells us, ‘You should check this out,’we aren’t going to listen.”
Hobart said that the About.meprofile contest gets the participants todo the promotional work for the com-pany, which saves time and money forthe advertising department.
As far as the actual prize, Hobartsaid that the advertising and publicrelations career benefits would liewithin Camacho getting his name outthere rather than the actual billboard.
“If he is able to acquire enoughvotes to win this, that will affect hisfuture. It will prove his mastery ofsocial media,” Hobart said.
Amidst an artistic backgroundphoto of himself, Camacho’s profiledisplays a headline that reads, “Net-working is not a job. It is a lifestyle.”
Camacho said that with a combi-nation of his charisma and socialmedia know-how, he can make hisname known.
To promote himself for the con-test, Camacho created a Facebookgroup page for himself that encour-ages his friends and other people who
join the group to vote for him daily.Camacho said that although the
page aids his vote count, some peoplebecome overwhelmed with the con-stant feedback from members of thegroup.
“A lot of people are like, ‘Hey, I’llvote for you, but I’m going to get outof the page because I’ve gotten toomany notifications,’” Camacho said.
For Camacho, the LEAD Scholarsprogram has been a conduit for get-ting his name out there amongstpotential voters and new friends. Hetells fellow scholars of his participa-tion in the contest and in turn, theyspread the word to other well-con-nected students across campus.
Camacho has extended his net-working beyond UCF. He asked hisfriend, an up-and-coming rapper atSanta Fe Community College, to pro-mote his About.me profile and con-test participation in Gainesville.
In turn, Camacho tells his friendson Facebook to check out the musicpage of Nicolas Delrosario, whosestage name is Nick D.
He said that since Camacho hasbegun promoting his music, he’s seenspikes in his website traffic.
Delrosario makes an effort to cam-paign for Camacho on the Santa Fecampus by sharing his About.me pro-file on Facebook and Twitter and giv-ing out flyers on the contest askingpeople to vote.
“I feel like it’s a good relationship,”Delrosario said. “It’s an ‘I scratch yourback, you scratch mine’ sort of thing.We’re helping each other out toachieve a goal.”

schools, earning a spotamong the top 100 publicuniversities by coming in atNo. 97.
“I think more people arereally becoming aware ofthe academics UCF has tooffer,” Serafin said. “Theuniversity really has a lot tochoose from for all of its stu-dents.”
The annual report’sranking comes just weeksafter UCF’s brightest fresh-man class began their firstfall semester. With a school-record 74 National MeritScholars and a freshmanclass average SAT score of1249, the rise in academicreputation is one of manycontributing factors to theresults.
Jennifer Coliton, a fresh-man elementary educationmajor, came to UCF fromChicago. Coliton said theuniversity’s academics andthe College of Educationprograms were the maincontributing factors to herchoice to go to school out-of-state.
“A lot of people in Flori-da don’t really realize howgreat the university isbecoming or they think it’salmost second-rate,” shesaid. “People up north arehearing about UCF, though,and the school is starting tobecome known as one that’shard to get into.”
Coliton said that withUCF’s average GPA foradmissions becoming sig-nificantly higher in combi-nation with a good campus,she thinks the rankingsaccurately reflect theschool’s success.
“Our name is definitelygetting out there,” she said.
UCF is no stranger tonods from U.S. News &World Report. Back in
March, the universityreceived recognition for itsgraduate-level academics.Education, engineering,health care managementand public administrationwere among several UCFgraduate programs thatmade the top 100.
“Recognition for ourprograms brings moreattention from potentialapplicants and a betterselection of applicants leadsto stronger student cohortsin our graduate programs,”Dr. Patricia Bishop, viceprovost and dean of the Col-lege of Graduate Studies,said in an email.
Heston echoed Bishop’ssentiments.
“[The recognition] high-lights all that we offer — thesaying ‘a rising tide raises allboats’ comes to mind,” Hes-ton said. “When one pro-gram succeeds, all othersare lifted up as well.”
Heston said that therecent rankings are justscratching the surface as faras recognition.
“[The results] show agrowing, national reputa-tion where we value thecontributions of our faculty,staff and students,” he said.“The rankings speak highlyof where we are now, whatwe’ve done in the past andshow the potential for ourfuture.”

Conicella expects thisventure to be a fun parttheir business, not neces-sarily to make a bunch ofmoney, as well as help withexposure. They also areexpecting to work withsome of the studentgroups, in addition toalready working with thealumni center.
Wednesday, the truckmade its first stop on cam-pus as a contracted foodtruck, vending tasty treatsto students near theNicholson School of Com-munication and betweenMillican Hall and the Edu-cation Building.
“I think it’s an amazingtruck,” said Michelle Moss,a UCF alumna who hasbeen a customer of theYum Yum Truck sinceMay. “They change theirflavors all the time, sothat’s good that they keepup with the seasons.”
Ricky Ly, a UCF alum-nus and writer of theaward winning Orlandofood blog “Tasty Chomps,”feels that the cupcaketruck will be embraced onthe UCF campus.
“I’m sure it’s very wel-comed on campus...it’s notthe cheapest, but it’s still apretty good deal,” Ly said.“Cupcakes will save theday between classes.Hopefully they can walk itoff.”
Ly said that since foodtrucks move around townand are hard to pin down,they have to use social net-working to let peopleknow their location, whichis why Conicella said heupdates their Facebookfour or five times per day.This, he said, goes hand inhand with college studentstoday.
Moss, who graduatedfrom UCF in 2002 with adegree in medical lab sci-ences, also has high hopes
for the cupcake caravandoing good business oncampus.
“I think it would beamazing; I think that they’lldo very well,” Moss said.“Everybody loves cup-cakes, especially studentswho need a nice sugarsnack.”
Having been a long timefollower of the OrlandoFood Truck Bazaars, Mossalso had a lot to say aboutthe growing popularity offood trucks in general.
“I think that the popu-larity of food trucks isgrowing due to the factthat they had that foodtruck race show on thefood network last season; Ithink it kinda got the inter-est really going,” Mosssaid. “These are specifictypes of food or desserts orjust anything you couldimagine basically. Theyhave everything fromchicken and waffles togator tail; it’s something for
everybody’s palate.”Having been on campus
only a couple times,including once on the lastUCF Market Day, Conicel-la and Marin look forwardto bringing their businessto UCF.
“I’m hoping that UCF
embraces this just like therest of Orlando has and Ireally think they will,”Conicella said. “A lot of ourcustomers are already stu-dents, but now we’re bring-ing it to them instead ofthem trying to find us.”

Dave Desmon felt theracing fighter planeswoosh past him and slaminto his group of friends,killing a husband and wife,cracking open a friend’sskull and breaking his girl-friend’s leg.
But Desmon, a long-time pilot and Boeingengineer, said the carnagehe witnessed standingnear the finish line at theannual National Champi-onship Air Races in RenoFriday did not turn him offfrom his favorite event.
“I will get my ticket andI will be standing in thatsame spot next year,”Desmon said.
The crash was the
nation’s deadliest air rac-ing disaster, with 11 con-firmed dead and 14 othersstill being treated at Renohospitals late Tuesday. Inall, more than 70 peoplewere admitted for injuriesafter the exploding planesprayed shrapnel into thecrowd of spectators, cut-ting limbs and other bodyparts.
Among the dead wereDesmon’s friends, GeorgeHewitt, 60, and WendyHewitt, 56, of Fort Mohave,Ariz.
Desmon, 51, said he wasstanding with the Hewittsat the front of the grand-stands when pilot JamesLeeward suddenly veeredoff course as he took sec-ond place and entered thethird lap of the race. A
mere three second later,the plane was on theground in pieces and theHewitts were nowhere tobe seen, Desmon said.
“The plane pretty muchlanded right on them,” said
Desmon, who estimates hewas standing just threefeet away from the coupleat the time.
Desmon joined thewailing crowd of survivorswho combed through the
wreckage, searching formaimed friends and rela-tives or body parts. Onefriend had an open skulland a missing arm.Desmon assumed the manwas dead and turned tosearch for survivors. Anurse who was with themripped a piece of curtainfrom the spectator standand used it to patch thewounded man up.
Desmon sustainedminor injuries that couldleave lasting scars.
“I basically look like Itook a shotgun full of rocksalt,” he said.
His wounded friendremains in intensive careand can’t afford a medicalairlift home, Desmon’sgirlfriend is still havingtrouble walking on her
injured leg and theHewitt’s four adult chil-dren had begun planning amemorial service. Still,Desmon said, they allagreed the races shouldcontinue.
“This was a wonderfulevent and we would reallyhate to see something hap-pen to this event as a resultof their tragic deaths,” hesaid. “The family is 100percent for the races car-rying on.”
A spokesman for themedical examiner’s officesaid investigators havebeen trying to identifybody parts since the grue-some accident. The namesof all the known fatal vic-tims had been confirmedby police or family by lateTuesday.

“People could justscratch themselves anddie from bleedingbecause the blood willnever clot,” said Daniell,the first Pegasus Profes-sor in the Burnett Col-lege of Biomedical Sci-ences, trustee chair andscientist on the project.
Zenaida Kotala ofUCF News & Informa-tion said that the firstgrant, worth $3.6 millionover five years, was tohelp make a treatmentfor hemophilia A, andthe second grant, worth$2 million over fouryears, is for research on atreatment for hemophil-ia B.
There is currently atreatment for those withhemophilia that injectsthe proteins needed forthe blood to clot, but thetreatment is dangerous.Those with hemophiliawere born without theproteins required for theblood to clot, so theirimmune systems arerejecting the treatmentand sending them intoanaphylactic shock;some result in death.
Daniell and Herzogare working on a way tomake the immune sys-tem not reject the pro-teins needed.
The treatment is alsoexpensive. According tothe Northern OhioHemophilia Foundation,the average cost of treat-ment can run a patient$60,000 to $260,000 peryear.
“We are working oninducing the immunetolerance to the thera-peutic clotting factor sothat the immune systemdoes not reject the thera-py,” Herzog said.
Herzog is Daniell’sformer student and runsthe hematology andimmunology lab at UFthat is housing micewith hemophilia B thatare being tested duringthe research.
“We are researchingand creating the vaccine,and UF is testing it onthe mice,” research asso-ciate Dr. Dheeraj Vermasaid.
After receiving theirgrant, they have found away to make the proteinneeded inside plantcells, put them in a cap-sule and orally deliverthem to the mice. Theplant cells take them intothe mice’s stomach andinto their gut and thenthe protein is released,Daniell said.
“We developed amethod that actuallyhelped stop this immunereaction,” Daniell said.
When they release itlittle by little, the bodyeventually accepts thatthis is something that isimportant to the bodyand then it lets it go.After all of this, theimmune reaction thatwas happening topatients has stopped.This is because the guthas the largest immunesystem in the body, hesaid. They are anticipat-ing that the treatmentwill only need to begiven once every 10
years.“Oral delivery would be
much less invasive than thefrequent intravenous injec-tions of clotting factor thatare currently required,”Herzog said.
Eventually, this newresearch will be tested ondogs at Duke University. Ifeverything goes well, it willbe used on humans.
“If we can achieve oraltolerance in patients andthus prevent the immunecomplication, I wouldexpect that patients cansave several hundred thou-sands of dollars,” Herzogsaid.
“This is the absolute, lowcost technology,” Daniellsaid. “All that the compa-nies need to do is growmore plants, harvest theleaves, dry them, powderthem and put them in a cap-sule...That is it.”
Daniell and Herzoghope to propose their firstclinical trial five years fromnow.

the UCF community tocome together andexpress its stance againsthazing through hostingevents and speakers,” saidIan Stecher, the Interfra-ternity Council’s vicepresident of risk manage-ment.
The Fraternity andSorority Life office alongwith the five Greek coun-cils have worked to coor-dinate and participate insuch activities to bringattention to the issue ofhazing, including a show-ing of the movie Haze,signing of a banner thatreads, “We refuse toabuse, we choose toUKnight,” a silent marchacross campus to create amoment of silence forthose whose lives havebeen lost due to hazing, aspeaker to talk about bul-lying and a donation drivefor the Gordie Foundation.
The Gordie Foundationis dedicated to the memo-ry of Gordie Bailey, whowas a freshman at the Uni-versity of Colorado whenhe died of alcohol poison-ing. The foundation’s mis-sion is to provide today’syoung people with theskills to navigate the dan-gers of alcohol, bingedrinking, peer pressureand hazing.
“We chose this founda-tion because it gives gen-erous scholarships, as wellas the fact that the movieHaze that we chose toshow depicts his life, andpeople will have a bettersense for what the founda-tion is all about afterwatching the film,” saidSarah Palmbach, the Pan-hellenic Council vicepresident of risk manage-ment.
IFC members hope thattheir involvement in thisweek’s events has educat-ed the UCF community on
topics such as what thedefinition of hazing is aswell as the resources UCFoffers if this behavior isobserved.
“As a developing cam-pus, it is important for theleaders to create a safe andcomfortable environmentfor its students,” Stechersaid. “Many students mayexperience behavior thatis deemed hazing withinstudent organizationswithout any knowledge ofhow to prevent or reportthese actions. With rushweek wrapping up thispast Friday, we encouragethese new members toattend and become edu-cated on hazing as theybegin their pledgingprocess.”
Hazing PreventionWeek is a series of eventsthat occur each year, butwith the recent death offreshman and new DeltaDelta Delta member AnnMarie Hefferin, this year’sevents were also createdto inspire unity among theGreek community.
“The Greek communi-ty recently suffered a trag-ic loss which called uponan act of Greek unity that Ihave not witnessed sincebecoming a student atUCF,” Stecher said. “Instriving to keep that unity,I believe this week willalso succeed in helpingGreek organizations byshowcasing the effort ofGreeks to prevent hazingto its many new members.New members will knowthat its leaders have creat-ed a Greek system thatabides to the anti-hazingpolicies of this school, andfailure to cooperateresults in judicial sanc-tions.”
This week’s events notonly revolve aroundGreek unity but alsoaround UCF’s increasing-ly louder voice againsthazing, with severalevents involving the entireUCF community ratherthan just a handful of UCFstudents who wereinvolved in previousevents.
“This year, we want tomake a louder and biggerstatement that UCF doesnot in any way condonehazing, especially in lightof recent events,” Palm-bach said. “This week’sgoal is to educate andeliminate hazing and tomake the communityaware of hazing.”
Perhaps one of themost outspoken events tooccur this year was thesilent march from the Stu-dent Union to the Reflect-ing Pond to create amoment of silence forthose whose lives havebeen lost due to hazing.
Junior micro & molec-ular biology major NickFusco participated in thewalk.
“I believe hazing is aproblem that needs to betaken seriously,” Fuscosaid. “Many have lost theirlives to an incident thatthey might have seen asharmless, and I reallythink this silent walk is aloud statement that needsto be heard.”

CONFERENCE REALIGNMENTHITS MAJOR NCAA SCHOOLS
NEW YORK — The seismic shift incollege athletics has once again beendiverted.
Unless there is a major surpriselooming, the latest round of conferencerealignment will only produce ahandful of changes. The 16-teamsuperconference is again on hold.
The Pac-12 presidents andchancellors decided late Tuesday nightnot to expand, leaving Texas andOklahoma to figure out a way to getalong in the Big 12.
“After careful review we havedetermined that it is in the bestinterests of our member institutions,student-athletes and fans to remain a12-team conference,”CommissionerLarry Scott said in a statement. “Whilewe have great respect for all of theinstitutions that have contacted us, andcertain expansion proposals werefinancially attractive, we have a strongconference structure and culture ofequality that we are committed topreserve.”
Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma Stateand Texas Tech were considering amove from the Big 12 to the Pac-12 —a move that could have killed the Big12. After expanding from the Pac-10with new members Utah and Coloradolast year, members of the new Pac-12decided not to stretch the leaguefarther east.
“We were not surprised by the Pac12’s decision to not expand at thistime,”Oklahoma President David Borensaid. “Even though we had decided notto apply for membership this year, wehave developed a positive relationshipwith the leadership of the conferenceand we have kept them informed of theprogress we’ve been making to gainagreement from the Big 12 for changeswhich will make the conference morestable in the future.
“Conference stability has been ourfirst goal and we look forward toachieving that goal through continuedmembership in the Big 12 Conference.”
Meanwhile, across the country inNew York, Big East Commissioner JohnMarinatto emerged from a three-hourmeeting with officials from the league’sfootball schools to say his members“pledged to each other that they arecommitted to move forward together.”
The Big East also has been staring atan uncertain future after Pittsburghand Syracuse announced last weekendthey are moving to the Atlantic CoastConference.
But now it appears the Big East, likethe Big 12, stands a good chance tosurvive, too — for now.
Marinatto said all the league’smembers — including Notre Dameand the seven other non-footballmembers — are committed toaggressively recruiting replacements forSyracuse and Pittsburgh, though hewould not indicate which schools arecandidates.
He said the league will enforce the27-month notice agreement in itsbylaws and not allow Syracuse and Pittto leave until the 2014-15 academicyear.
He also said he expects TCU to jointhe league in 2012 as previously agreedupon.
As for the Big 12, the board ofregents at Texas and Oklahoma votedMonday to give their presidents theright to choose a new conference.
Oklahoma State was going to followOklahoma’s lead and Texas Techplanned to do the same with Texas.
Texas and Oklahoma were not actingtogether. Texas officials had statedseveral times it wanted to keep the Big12 alive.
Oklahoma officials said they werelooking for stability and equal revenuesharing, which does not occur in the Big12. Texas has its own cable televisionnetwork and gets the biggest cut of theBig 12’s revenue.
The Pac-12 has equal revenuedistribution and would not change thatfor Texas. Without Texas in the deal, thePac-12’s leaders didn’t have quite theappetite for expansion.
The Sooners and Longhorns, bitterrivals on the field, now need to workout some differences off it.
A person familiar with the schools’discussions said Texas and Oklahomaofficials are expected to meet in thenext few days to negotiate anagreement to keep the universities inthe league for at least the next fiveyears. The person requested anonymitybecause the meeting had not beenannounced.

The Knights say they’reready to move forward.
Following a disappoint-ing 17-10 loss to FIU inMiami last week, UCF (2-1)is preparing on a shortweek for Friday’s game onthe road against BYU (1-2).
With the sting of atough loss still lingering,the Knights say they’re pre-pared to move forward andrebound.
“Our goal was to try andwin every game on theschedule but we just haveto bounce back from that[the loss] and not let it setus back,” running backLatavius Murray said.
With that in mind,here’s everything you needto know about UCF’s bigFriday night match-up.
UCF: Last time outThe Knights just
seemed off against FIU.The two turnovers were
glaringly obvious andplayed a huge role in theloss. Also obvious were thepenalties. Usually a moredisciplined team, UCFracked up 10 penalties for71 yards. It is a stat theKnights will have toimprove on going forward.
The constant pressurein quarterback Jeff God-frey’s face led to him get-ting sacked an uncharac-teristic six times after nothaving been sacked at all inthe first two contests.
Finally, the Knightsnever seemed to get into arhythm running the ball.Historically, things havenot boded well for UCFwhen the Knights haveneeded to rely on movingthe ball through the air.
“We had a good gameplan; we just didn’t exe-cute,” defensive tackle Vic-tor Gray said. “We beatourselves.”
BYU: Last time outGoing into the half,
BYU trailed Utah 14-10.It was a hard-fought
first half, much like youwould expect from a rival-ry game.
Then, in the second half,that all went out the win-dow with Utah scoring 40-unanswered points, pum-meling the Cougars 54-10.
BYU turned the ballover seven times in thecontest and simply couldnot run the ball, amassingonly 11 yards on 22 carries.Those factored together tohelp negate the Cougars’343 passing yards on thecontest. Eight penalties for70 yards didn’t help much,either.
Meanwhile, Utahwalked all over theCougars’ defense with avery balanced attack, high-lighted by the Utes’ 242rushing yards, and 174came by way of the legs ofrunning back John White.
What to watch for when UCFhas the ball
Can the Knights getback to effectively runningthe ball?
UCF’s total rushing out-put last week of 119 yardswasn’t horrible, but consid-ering what an integral partthe run game is expected toplay throughout the sea-son, it was disappointing.
“Coach [GeorgeO’Leary] says all the time,and I believe it, too, thatyou have to establish a rungame,” Murray said. “Aslong as we get that estab-lished, I think it will openup a lot more for theoffense.”
The Knights should atleast have the opportunityto establish some consis-tency on the ground thisweek against a team thatallowed 242 rushing yards

The collegiate athleticlandscape is changing.UCF may very well finditself in the midst of changewith major athletic confer-ences such as the Big East,Atlantic Coast Conferenceand Big XII possibly seek-ing new members.
“Yes, there seems to beso much conference align-ment discussion happen-ing coast to coast at pres-ent. It is almost an all-daything following Twitterreports morning throughevening,” Associate Direc-tor of Athletics Joe Horn-stein said. “I see whereUCF is continually men-tioned as a possibility in
certain scenarios.”A very likely landing
spot for the Knights couldbe the Big East, with mem-bers Syracuse and Pitts-burgh jumping to the ACC.It was previously rumoredthat the Big East wouldmerge with the Big XII ifmore schools like Rutgers,TCU and UConn leave.However, the remainingBig East members vowedto keep the league togetherat a Tuesday league meet-ing, which leaves theoption open for expansion.
According to ESPN’snational college footballreporter Joe Schad, schoolslike Army, Navy and AirForce are first-tier expan-

last week.Meanwhile, another
point of emphasis is goingto be how well the offen-sive line protects Godfrey.The aggressive approachtaken by FIU last weekwas undoubtedly notedby other teams and will bemimicked going forward.
“We didn’t handle thepressure very well,”O’Leary said. “They’re abig, physical team ondefense.”
What to watch for when BYUhas the ball
The Cougars’ seventurnovers last week werecertainly uncharacteristicand played a large part ofthe game becoming solopsided.
Expect a large part ofthose mistakes to be cor-rected going into Friday’sgame. Gray noted thatBYU’s offensive frustra-tions last week couldmake the Cougars all themore dangerous thisweek.
“I expect them to comeout hurt, to come out hun-gry,” Gray said. “We’reboth kind of in the sameboat [coming off a disap-pointing loss]. [We] bothhave something to prove.”
UCF’s secondary willneed to be prepared this
week. BYU quarterbackJake Heaps passed for 305yards last week and hasthrown for big yards in allthree contests this season.Heaps has, however,showed an inclination toturning over the ball, withfour interceptions on theseason and two fumbleslast week.
“Offensively, they’re ateam that has the typicaloffensive line that BYUhas had in the past: [They]have a quarterback thatmakes plays,” O’Learysaid.
Cougars to watchJJaakkee HHeeaappss QQBB ((SSoo..))The sophomore quar-
terback threw for 2,316yards and 15 touchdownpasses his freshman year.This year, he’s off to a faststart, having amassed 722passing yards throughthree games. If theKnights can get pressureon him, he is prime target.Heaps has fumbled twiceand thrown four intercep-tions already this season.A talented passer, he hasnot shown much ability tomake a play with his feet.
RRoossss AAppoo WWRR ((FFrr..))The freshman wide
receiver’s numbers aren’taltogether staggering, butthere is one thing thatstands out about Apo.He’s found the end zone
in each of BYU’s games,showing that Apo has aknack for consistentlymaking plays.
Final wordThis is going to be a big
momentum game for theKnights.
A loss in Provo, Utah,would mean a losingstreak, something theteam desperately wants toavoid. A win, while it cer-tainly would not erase thememory of the loss toFIU, would go a long waysto building momentumfor UCF as the Knightsturn towards the confer-ence slate.
Both the Cougars andthe Knights are comingoff disappointing losses,and a contest like this iswhere leadership fromthe upperclassmen mayreally prove invaluable.
What’s more is Friday’sgame is another big stagefor the program, with thecontest being broadcastnationally on ESPN. It’s anopportunity the Knightsrelish.
“Personally, I love play-ing in games like this,”Gray said. “All eyes on us.We want to prove to thenation that we are theteam we were talkingabout at the beginning ofthe season and prove thatlast week was just a lapse.”

Running back Ronnie Weaver attempts to shake a Florida International defender.The Knights will look to establish moreof a running game this week against the Cougars in Provo, Utah.
What conference will UCFwind up in?
AAnnddyy ZZuunnzz:: Afterpatiently waiting for domi-no upon domino to fall,UCF fans saw somethinghappen for which they hadbeen waiting patiently foryears.
The Big East said it “willbe aggressive” in findingmembers to fill the confer-ence. That is the equivalentto hearing the “Hallelujah”chorus reign down from theheavens for UCF nation.Now, it all depends on howmany members they want,but if its more than two,look for the Knights to beproud members of the BigEast within the next threeyears. I think that’s exactlywhat will happen.
EErriikkaa EEssoollaa:: Not so fast,Zunz. Yes, the Big East willsurvive (thankfully). AfterTuesday night’s conferencemeeting in New York, con-ference officials in the BigEast vowed to keep the con-ference together after it wasrumored that schools likeRutgers, TCU and UConnwould jump ship. So that’sgood.
The bad news? The BigEast’s first choice isn’t UCF.
They want the militaryacademies: Army, Navy andAir Force. If they can’t gettwo of those schools, then
they’ll call UCF. There’salways a better option thanthe Big East. Why not stayput in Conference USA andmerge into power confer-ence, gaining BCS statusthat way?
AAZZ:: That simply won’twork because there are noconferences are fallingapart. There are still sixautomatic-qualifying con-ferences, leaving no roomfor a C-USA/MountainWest Conference merger togain an AQ-tag, unless theysurpass the Big East after2014, which likely won’thappen. If UCF stayed in C-USA and tried to becomean AQ school through amerger, this would be leav-ing the basketball programout to dry. The team wouldstill be playing in C-USAand recruiting like it is in C-USA. All head basketballcoach Donnie Jones needsto become one of the toprecruiters in the country isto say his team is in the BigEast.
If the Big East knowswhat’s good for it, it will tryand move to 12 teams so itcan hold a conferencechampionship game, whichwould nearly guaranteeUCF gets an invite.
EEEE:: I wouldn’t guaranteeanything at this point,though. Every day, the con-ference realignment land-scape is changing. The BigEast is UCF’s better option,but wasn’t UCF supposed
to get its invite a while ago?What happened with that?Now, we’re starting to seebehind those rumors thatUCF isn’t the Big East’s No.1 target.
It’s clear that the Big Eastwants the military schoolsand, hell, even Villanova tomake the jump more thanUCF. If the Big East takesthe three military acade-mies and Villanova, UCF isleft in the dust.
AAZZ:: If that is the out-come of all of this, it provesthat the basketball-onlyschools run the Big East. Ifthat’s the case, UCF shouldwant no part in that confer-ence. But, if UCF receives abid along with East Caroli-na, it will be a dream cometrue for the Knights, and itwill prove that the confer-ence will see better days.
EEEE:: Basketball-onlyschools DO run the BigEast, and that’s what wor-ries me. UCF has told theCentral Florida Future that“[Athletic Director] KeithTribble has and will contin-ue to work diligently inensuring that UCF Athlet-ics is in the best possibleposition to elevate to anautomatic qualifier status.”
That’s good news.Before, UCFAA was givingthe standard “We are happymembers of C-USA”response. Seems likeregardless what happens,the Knights will finally ele-vate themselves.

After the first day ofthe Adams Cup of New-port at the NewportNational Golf Club inMiddletown, R.I., the No.25 Knights men’s golfteam was in second placeand behind No. 16 Geor-gia by three shots. Arepeat Adams Cup victo-ry was still within reach,but it would take a come-back.
The Knights did justthat on Tuesday, claimingtheir second consecutiveAdams Cup victory.
“I am excited with theway that we have startedthe season and hopefullywe will continue toprogress,” head coachBryce Wallor said in arelease.
The Knights shot a
team score of 842 (-18) inthe two-day, 19-teamevent. A strong 13-underfinal round, shooting a275, propelled the Knightsto victory.

“It has been UCF Athlet-ics’ preference to not spec-ulate on this particular sub-ject,” Hornstein said. “Tomy understanding, we havenot received new informa-tion to offer comment on atthis time.”
It is important to note,
however, that the Knightshave been in this positionbefore. The Big East hadconsidered the Knightswhen expanding in 2005.Nearly seven years later,UCF seems like a candidateready for a bigger, automat-ic-qualifying stage.
The Knights seem tothink so, too.

The crowd’s chatter dieddown as the singular chaot-ic note rang throughout theauditorium.
The band quieted as thelights dimmed. Silence onlybroke once the conductorfinally took the stage to around of raucous applauseand only then did the UCFwind ensemble begin itsintroductory fanfare.
With an enticing combi-nation of soothing gentility,pulse-pounding crescendosand whimsical melodies, thewind ensemble created anintricate outline for story-telling through music lastSunday night. Following atheme of “world adven-tures,” the band performedseveral classical pieces,including Peter Graham’s“The Red Machine” andRoger Cichy’s “Divertimen-to for Winds and Percus-sion.”
With only four weeks toprepare for the event, Dr.
Scott Tobias, the associatedirector of bands and con-ductor of the performance,described the immense ded-ication all 50 performers dis-played during rehearsals.
“They’ve been very wel-coming, hard workers,”Tobias said. “This is veryearly for a first concert;we’ve only been rehearsingfor four weeks, which isreally fast. Normally we’relooking at six or sevenweeks to get ready. Theywere fun to work with, witha great work ethic.”
The event was not onlythe first concert of the yearfor the student performers,but also for Tobias, as well.
Relocating from NorthCarolina’s AppalachianState University in July,Tobias began his first year atUCF with the wind ensem-ble concert, conductingclasses and preparations forupcoming events for thewind ensemble, symphonicband and the concert band.
With a near full house atthe Visual Arts Building
auditorium, Tobiasexplained his hopes for acontinued increase in audi-ence turnout.
“We’re just trying to pro-mote the program more,”Tobias said. “We’re trying to
make people aware that weexist. We have wonderfulsupport at the university, butwe want more people tocome out to the concerts toknow that this is somethingthat’s enjoyable to do on a

Clad in coats and ties, UCF jazz students provided an intimate musical perform-ance for about 60 people at UCF’s Rehearsal Hall on Tuesday that featured rendi-tions of songs by some of jazz’s most well-known per-
formers.Tuesday’s show featured two UCF jazz chamber
ensembles: the jazz workshop and the jazz chambergroup. The jazz chamber group is a course forfreshmen and sophomores while the jazz work-shop is for juniors and seniors.
“They’re really in essence the same thing; wejust call them different things because they’re tech-nically different courses,” Rupert said. “They’re all
UCF students. Most of them are jazz studies majors.”The jazz workshop is a six-member ensemble direct-
ed by Per Danielsson, assistant professor at UCF’s musicdepartment. The performance featured a range of jazzsongs, which included everything from up-tempo tracksto ballads.
One track, called “Fried Bananas,” is a song written byDexter Gordon, a late American jazz tenor saxophonist.The version the group performed is based off of a jazzstandard called, “It could happen to you,” said Ben Tip-tonford, a senior jazz guitar major who plays in the jazzworkshop. Jazz standards are known as compositionsthat are commonly used as the basis of jazz arrangementsand improvisations. Although Tiptonford is now a jazz musician, he didn’t start outthat way.
“I started out playing a lot of heavy metal and stuff,” Tiptonford said. “Then Igot a jazz guitar instructor and he showed me a lot of stuff, and then, that just gotme into it from there.”
The ensembles’ rendition of this track combined the use of many instruments,such as the trombone, drums, piano and guitar.

Another track they per-formed was “Day Dream,” aballad by jazz legend DukeEllington. The song carried aslow tempo and had the feelof a blues track.
Following the jazz work-shop was the UCF jazzchamber group, which is aneight-member ensembleunder the direction ofRichard Drexler, adjunctprofessor at UCF’s musicdepartment.
One of the songs per-formed, “Body and Soul,” by
John Green, is a ballad thatcarried the feel of a bluessong. It featured a prominentsaxophone that was played ata slow place, as well as pianoand drums.
Other tracks, like AntonioCarlos Jobim’s “Desafinado”were more upbeat. Jobim is aBrazilian composer, and thisrendition carried his influ-ence and incorporatedAmerican jazz with samba.Other songs featured theoccasional drum solo, as wellas solos for other instru-ments.
Drexler said universities
are an important venue forjazz music.
“There’s not as many liveperformance venues as thereused to be,” Drexler said.“Universities are probablyone of the most importantthings keeping the musicgoing and alive.”
Kyle Platt, a senior envi-ronmental sciences major,has been a fan of jazz for afew years. He said he foundout about Tuesday’s showthrough UCF’s events web-site. He said there are manythings that draw him to jazzmusic.
“The ambience and therelaxing kind of state of mindthat you get in when you sithere and listen to it,” Plattsaid. “To be able to closeyour eyes and just groovewith the music.”
Although Platt enjoyedboth performances, he wasparticularly impressed withthe jazz chamber group.
“I thought they groovedtogether a little bit better;there was a little bit moreharmony, but both perform-ances were just outstanding,”Platt said.
Junior music major Kate
Nichols was also in atten-dance at Tuesday’s show.She said she’s been a fan ofjazz as long as she canremember and what drawsher to the music is the senseof creativity.
Nichols said she enjoyedthe performance andthought the performers did agood job of passing alongtheir solo performances toeach other. She said thefuture of jazz music is not aneasy thing to predict.
“You know, it’s hard to tell
with music in general whereit’s headed. You never knowwhat’s going to happen thenext day,” Nichols said. “Ithink as long as you havepeople like this, workingtowards playing and learn-ing jazz and keeping the tra-dition alive, I think it’s stillgoing to be around for awhile.”
The jazz chamber groupwill be performing again onSept. 27 at 8 p.m. The eventwill be free and open to thepublic.
International artists’ pieces performed at showFROM A8
bles Dr. Laszlo Marosi per-formed as the fanfare con-ductor at the beginning ofthe concert. A teacher ofopera and chamber orches-tras, conducting andinstrumental performance,Marosi has been involvedwith both the wind ensem-ble and the orchestras atUCF for nine years.
Before his integrationinto the UCF music world,Marosi said he has been astudent of music since hewas 5 years old.
“I was just attracted tothe piano, the sound, themusic,” Marosi said. “Iorganized my first chorusin kindergarten. It’s a long-time marriage.”
Marosi has contributedtowards several eventsconnected with the bands,such as the UCF ArenaKansas performance onNov. 5 and the upcomingBeethoven concert at St.Luke’s in Windermere.
As the director ofinstrumental ensembles,Marosi illuminated upon ahectic workload, filled with14-hour workdays, direc-tion of librarians and other
faculty in regards to per-formances, paperworkgalore and, most impor-tantly, the three-hourrehearsals at least twice aweek.
With a strong history inorchestras and music sincehis upbringing in Hungary,Marosi described hishopes that the audience,like himself, could connectto the music on a personallevel.
“The program is very,very colorful,” Marosi said.“Hopefully lots of differentmusical styles will attracteverybody in the audience.You will find something inevery piece that will talk to
you, and in that case, youwill love every bit. [I hopethe audience will] have anexciting, ecstatic experi-ence.”
For freshman BrianaLetourneau, an environ-mental engineering major,the concert was an oppor-tunity to enjoy classicalmusic, potentially getinvolved with the band andmore importantly, reliveher own band days.
“I just kind of miss it,”Letourneau said. “I lookforward to just hearing themusic in general. I don’tknow how to put it intowords, but to be apprecia-tive of music is to be appre-
ciative of all arts. I feel that’smore needed in our socie-ty.”
Sophomore Joel Scott,mathematics and physicsdual major, attended formore personal reasons: thesupport of first bassoonistand girlfriend Kristen Lich-tenthal.
“We both knew eachother growing up, and weboth were in band togeth-er,” Scott said. “I know a fewpeople who are on theensemble, too, and I heard itwas pretty good; they spendtheir time. I figured I mightas well come out eventual-ly.”

The Student Newspaper at UCF since 1968
s the economy strug-gles to recover fromthis recession, one
facet of higher education isbeginning to suffer verybadly: our community col-leges.
A new report from theEducation Policy Center atthe University of Alabamashows that students are tak-ing on more and more debtto pay for college, and thatcommunity colleges areunable to meet the expand-ed need to retrain workers,according to the Chronicle ofHigher Education.
The report, titled “Accessand Funding in Public High-er Education," is based onthe results of the latestannual survey of the 51members of the NationalCouncil of State Directors ofCommunity Colleges, con-ducted from July 5 throughAug. 24, according to theChronicle.
This report is predictingcuts to state operating budg-ets at community colleges,regional public universitiesand public flagship universi-ties. Tuition is going to con-tinue to grow, and financialaid won’t be able to keep upbecause it will continue todwindle or remain flat,according to this report.
We need to invest in ourcommunity colleges, andPresident Barack Obama hastaken a necessary and signif-icant first step in proposing
to do so. Obama has pro-posed investing $5 billion toimprove facilities at commu-nity colleges and tribal col-leges. Ninety-four percent ofthe respondents of this sur-vey said that the new moneyfor construction and renova-tion was a significant needin their state. In a separatearticle, Jim Hermes, thedirector of government rela-tions at the American Asso-ciation of Community Col-leges, affirmed this need.
“This is certainly an areaof great need among ourinstitutions,” Hermes said.“We are heartened by therenewed recognition of thisissue.”
Investing in communitycolleges has been one ofObama’s education objec-tives for quite some time.Shortly after his inaugura-tion, he proposed a $12 bil-lion program to rebuildcommunity colleges, as wellas increase the number oftwo-year students who grad-uate and go on to four-yearinstitutions. It would havealso improved remedial edu-cation and forged strongerties between employers,according to the Chronicle.The plan, called the Ameri-can Graduation Initiative,was dropped in negotiationsover overhauling student-aid programs and healthcare legislation, according tothe Chronicle.
Preserving funding for
community colleges is criti-cally important to the eco-nomic well-being of thiscountry. Many students lookto community colleges as analternative to four-year insti-tutions for a wide range ofreasons. Some studentswant to train directly intheir chosen professionrather than spend the extratime fulfilling the generaleducation requirements offour-year universities.
For other students, acommunity college mayprovide a second opportuni-ty to improve their grade-point average before apply-ing to a public university. Ifstudents apply right out ofhigh school, the high schoolGPA will be the one evaluat-ed, whereas a communitycollege gives the student ashot at having the communi-ty college GPA taken intoconsideration as well.
The other reason to pre-serve community colleges isa matter of helping studentssave money. Some studentsmay choose to attend a com-munity college prior toattending a four-year univer-sity in order to fulfill theirgeneral education require-ments at a lesser cost. Theycan then choose to transfertheir credits to a four-yearinstitution that will acceptthem. Let’s preserve com-munity colleges for the sakeof education and the healthof our economy.

Nobody sets out tohate their job, but some-times it just happens. Youwork hard. Nobodynotices. You’re always ontime. Nobody notices.You’re miserable.Nobody notices.
“Work should enno-ble, not kill, the humanspirit,” assert the authorsof The Progress Principle,Teresa Amabile andSteven Kramer. And theirresearch shows that those of us whocan find happiness on the job willactually work harder. But how doyou find a job that you’ll love?
Find the profession that fits yourpersonality. What do you care mostabout? Status? Making a difference?Earning potential?
If you know that money is themost important factor in your careerchoice, then your options becomeclearer. However, if you feel thatmoney is irrelevant, don’t underesti-mate its impact on your life. If you’restill sweating your rent paymentafter two years of dutiful service,you’re going to have to love whatyou’re doing or recognize that it’s inyour best interest to move on.
The first job you get after youearn your degree may define thecareer-field you end up in —because that’s where you start build-ing experience — so only apply forjobs in the field you want to be in.
Visualize how your workday willbe spent. Maybe you need struc-tured, orderly days where you knowexactly how your day will go. Ormaybe an unchanging routine wouldmake you feel like your soul is with-ering and dying like a forgottenflower. It may help to think about
what your greatestachievement would looklike. Identifying this factorwill help define yourgoals. You don’t have tobe the greatest composerof all time, but if youwould be satisfied work-ing for a symphonyorchestra then maybe acareer in criminal justicewould be the wrongchoice for you.
Is there somethingyou’re so captivated by that youcatch yourself talking about all thetime? If so, let that guide you. Ifsomeone is working with passionand purpose, they won’t have toconvince themselves to get out ofbed in the morning.
This is why an internship can beimperative. It allows you to do theactual job without committing your-self permanently. If you find youdon’t like it, then you can get outbefore you get stuck.
Ponder your strengths. Whateveryour strengths are, acknowledgethem because they are valuable toyou and your employer. And if youdecide to learn new skills, workinghard toward the goal of attainingthem may increase your happinessas well, according to a study coau-thored by San Francisco State Uni-versity psychology professor RyanHowell.
It’s important to recognize thathow we spend our days at work isessentially how we live our lives andthat over time your job willabsolutely become a part of you.Now, is that part something you’rewilling to just leave to fate, playingthe keyboard solo at your desk, hop-ing that somebody notices?

TAMARA GROOMGuest Columnist
As it turns out, a Christ-ian school in West Sims-bury, Conn., recently exileda high school senior forbeing gay. Yes, gay! It’scompletely and utterlywrong.
In a recent article of cur-rent events from Nerve.com,the story of Rachel Avileswas brought to light. Aviles,along with some other stu-dents, were pretending tobe married and seen “hold-ing hands.” The school followed upwith its own “Gestapo-style investiga-tion," later determining that it wasbest to kick the student out.
What?Please, somebody take my vital
signs because I’m about to go throughthe roof.
The school is privately run andpreaches an interesting philosophy,which really does show a correlationbetween Christianity and education.Furthermore, the version is extra spe-cial.
I found the mission statement mostentertaining. If others can’t see thesame “counterfeit hypocrisy” that Idid, perhaps I will need cataract sur-gery after all.
“Our mission is ‘Education fromthe Inside Out.’ Simply put, we recog-nize that God has created each childwith a unique set of gifts, abilities andneeds, and that in light of that designhe has a unique purpose and callingfor each one.”
Virtuous read, isn’t it? I hope youraised your eyebrows the way I did.How can a so-called “Christianschool” practice and preach such prej-udice? I would never suggest that allChristians are bad people. Remember,we are talking about a teenager whocommitted no crime?
All ye in favor of yes, she commit-
ted the crime of homosexu-ality and it’s unacceptable,raise your right hand. All yein favor of no offense com-mitted raise your left hand.Did Jesus teach prejudice,hate and bigotry? I thinknot, unless you’re The Mas-ter’s School in West Sims-bury, that is.
Continuing significantresearch is already under-way to prove a genetic linkthat possibly explains why
people are gay.In 1993, Dr. Dean Hamer and his
team conducted a study of variousfamilies using DNA from homosexualsiblings. He was able to locate a mark-er on the X chromosome maternallylinking those to what he called the“Xq28,” or “gay gene.”
To break down his findings evenfurther, the “gay gene” is carried byfemales. Oh, great! Let’s put all theblameworthiness on our mothers.“Thanks, Mom. You made me gay.”Not so hastily — the Xq28 stretch ofgene has not yet been proven. Mypoint being, when this gene is official-ly the culprit of indifference, wheredoes that leave the Rachel Aviles’ ofthe world?
Who will the schools pick uponthen? Apologies all round for hun-dreds of years of persecution and nar-row-mindedness across the board.Yeah, I’d like to see that pig fly.
The only comforting resolve I per-sonally retrieve from this sad story isindeed irony. Of the countless “gay”children that sit in your classroomstoday, eventually one will flourish inscience.
One will push the limits of bothchurch and genetics beyond theblackboard, and who knows — maybedisentangle that Xq28 code and endthis century’s crusade of hatred.
Hey, Master’s School,what would Jesus do?
