Volume CXXXIIIIssue 10

On behalf of the “Triple J” Executive Ticket, I want to take the time to thank YOU for all of your support! John, Joe, and I could not have done it without the backing of the student body.

We are truly blessed to have been elected and granted the opportunity to serve the students of this incredible university.

The elections are over, and now the real work begins. We plan on carrying the momentum from our campaign through our time in the SGA and passing it on to others.

Our campaign was based on accountability, visibility, aca-demics, and communication and we have every desire and pas-sion of focusing on those and your suggestions.

I am confident in my elected officials and the jobs they will perform. John and Joe have shown the students commitment to a common goal in the mar-keting and campaigning of the election.

They will continue to show the university commitment in their day-to-day duties as SGA Vice President and SGA Treasurer. Their willingness to listen, help others, and inspire rich ideas is

exactly what our student body deserves.

Not only were the elections for the executive ticket, but they were also for the Student Finance Board, and Student Representative Board. Please take the time to congratulate all the other students that were elected to their positions.

I am anxious to meet everyone and hear what their vision and ideas are for their respective positions.

It is crucial that each of you know that an SGA official rep-resents you in more than one way. For some it is through your Student Representative. The

College of Aviation, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, College of Engineering, Graduate, Residence Life, and International representatives all make up this body of students.

If you do not fall under this category, your Executive Board, The Avion, Eagles FM, Touch-N-Go Productions, Student Finance Board, and Student Court represent you as well.

We all have a common goal which is serving the students and I would like to see that strengthen during my time as SGA President.

All of your newly elected SGA officials will be taking an oath of

office. This oath is what makes each and every one of them, including myself, accountable for our responsibilities. Our first priority is our classmates. We are here for you.

Our SGA is remarkable in that we have students have an incredible influence to carry out exceptional ideas of how to make this campus even greater.

However, the SGA needs your suggestions and concerns to devise improvements to make our college experience even greater.

We believe student input and feedback is important to have a significant impact on this cam-

pus. If you have a com-ment, question, or concern please feel free to stop any of us on campus, stop in the SGA office (SC 104), call the office (226-6045), or visit the SGA website (sga.db.erau.edu).

We would be more than happy to discuss SGA top-ics or any other items you might have.

Again, thank you for all of your support during the election. We are eager to get started.

Good luck with the end of the semester and final exams. Have a great week!

On Apr. 5, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University hosted its annual Human factors and Applied Psychology student conference, featuring research from universities around central Florida.

The conference, dubbed as being “For the students, by the students” allowed under-graduate and graduate students to present their work and exchange ideas with other like-minded individuals and professionals.

Students huddled in around the first floor of the Lehman building, and went about sharing current and future research ideas. The conference also featured breakout sessions on topics ranging from augmented reality studies to environmental sustainability.

“The conference is a great opportunity to network, have intellectual discussions and gain new ideas” said Jessica, a junior from Rollins college, who was collaborating with UCF on her research.

Jessica was planning a study to see wheth-er augmented reality technology, which uses elements of computer generation to augment the real-world environment, could improve medical professionals’ knowledge of anat-omy.

“Young people live in an age of digital media, use of augmented reality technology on a mobile phone app, for example, would allow students to study on the go and hope-fully improve their overall performance,” said Jessica.

The study will compare 3 groups using traditional text books, augmented reality and fiber glass models as study aids, to see who performs better in a standard nurse’s test.

Jennifer Leavens, a first year doctorate student at UCF, had been studying the effects of priming in driving simulator sickness tests.

“Our hypothesis was that priming a par-ticipant using a simulator sickness question-naire would cause the participant to actually feel sicker during the simulation,” explained Leavens. “The results were the opposite, and although that was not what we expected, it is still an interesting result.”

Leavens believes that human factors and psychology have an important place in today’s world. “Our research has real-world applications; we aim to make systems safer, more effective and more efficient.”

The conference also featured keynote speaker Dr. John Flach, professor and Chair of Psychology at Wright State University.

“Our field uses the holistic view to decom-pose complex systems” explained Dr. Flach, “We could look at a human the same way an electronic engineer would look at a black box.”

Dr. Flach went on to discuss the need to consider engineers and designers as part of the same team when constructing a human interfacing product. He said the design should strongly consider the point of view of the user, and then be engineered accord-ingly.

Some students such as Amanda Recker, a

student at ERAU, have been working with commercial partners to improve customer experience.

“We were approached by the website buy4, who allow users to donate a percent-age of their online purchases to a charity or organization of their choice” said Recker, “the trouble is users were having difficulty navigating the site, and so they asked us to perform a usability analysis.”

While recording user’s mouse movements and facial expressions, Recker found that people visiting the site were having a far harder time navigating the site than they should.

“While the webmaster could complete the setup in 4 minutes, the average user was tak-ing 28 minutes to do the same thing. The site needed to organize, simplify and standard-ize” explained Recker, who will go to the CEO of the organization to report the results of the study. When quizzed on her career goals in the future, Recker wanted to try and make a difference.

“I’d like to work for the government in healthcare” Recker said, “It would be grati-fying to say I’ve contributed in some way to saving someone’s life, lots of people have helped me out and I’d like to give something back.”

The conference, put together by student chair Antoine Juhel and faculty chair Dr. Elizabeth Blickensderfer, later featured a panel discussion involving experts in the field, as well as prizes for best undergradu-ate, graduate and overall papers.

Augmented Reality Technology: Part of the future of Human Factors Studies

When one thinks back on their spring break, one may wonder what they did with their spare week. Nights of cruising or par-tying will soon be forgotten anyways when classes start again. Seven students and one faculty member from Embry Riddle did something they can look back fondly on and say they accomplished something of importance during their spring break. These individuals willing accepted the Volunteer Network’s alternative spring break plans and gave up a week of their time to volunteering. Students, ranging from freshmen to gradu-ates, and the Interfaith Chaplain, Melynne Rust, loaded into a university van and hit the road, their destination the Florida Everglades for volunteer work.

The Everglades is one of Florida’s largest tourist and travelers’ destination. However, due to growing populations and other man made problems the Everglades have dimin-ished in size. There are many organizations, such as the Everglades National Park and the Biscayne National Park trying to perverse the remaining Everglades.

These willing members of Embry Riddle gave up their spring break to work alongside staff members from both of these parks to maintain the beauty of the environment and the safety of the native wildlife. Their volun-teer work included four days of exciting and strenuous activity, but all felt accomplished when they saw what they achieved.

One day was spent removing the invasive Brazilian pepper which is overrunning parts of the Everglades and harming the native floral. The Everglades Nike Missile Base, a secluded military based station to intercept any incoming from Cuba during the 1960s was toured and members of the Alternative Spring Break group helped restore the base

to its original state for future tours. Some of the most shocking work was done with Biscayne National Park, and it turned out to be some of the most inspirational work for our spring breakers. The group boarded a boat and sailed to beaches off of Florida’s Atlantic coast to clean beaches that are usually sea turtle nesting sites. Most were shocked by what they saw when they stepped onto the shore. This beach was covered in so much trash; some of the members became physically ill from disgust. Yet, the group set to work and impressed the National Park works with their determination and enthusi-asm .The group collected over 150 discarded shoes and filled dozens of garbage bags with neglected items from all over the world. During a two day period, the eight members cleared the two beaches and are now proud to say that the sea turtles have a lovely loca-tion for their eggs this season. Anyone can see the amazing job these individual did just by looking at the pictures taken from a group member’s camera.

Some of this work might not sound as exciting as attending a party or going on a

cruise, but it helped the environment and all members of the expedition came back to school knowing their did something valuable with their time.

However, the trip was not all about work. Every Evening, the group explored local attractions, including dozens of nature tri-als, a guided Night tour, and the famous Everglades Alligator Farm. Students got a face to face chance to hold baby alligators and other reptiles. Some students even have the nerve to kiss the baby gators.

Lodging included four nights at the Everglades Hostel which was an adventure by itself. Group members encountered trav-ellers from other countries and lifestyles, while learning about the other hostel occu-pants and themselves. Oddly enough, the group ran into a bunch of ERAU alumni from France on vacation.

I would personally like to thank all mem-bers for giving up their spring breaks and generously working to make a change in Florida’s environment. Look out for next year’s alternative spring break trip hosted by the Volunteer Network.

Alpha Xi Delta kicked off the Spring Break celebration with a fierce Xi Man competition! The UC was packed with stu-dents cheering for their favorite competitors. This high-energy competition was full of swagger, laughter, and, of course, Xi Love. On stage, representatives from Greek Life and, for the first time, Housing & Residence Life and ROTC, competed in Swimsuit, Boy Band, Talent, Lip-Sync, and Formal Question. Each contestant brought their own unique surprises, ultimately making the com-petition a little, well . . . cheekier than anyone expected.

Delta Chi cheered for their competitor, Tyrone Roberts, as he showed off his break dancing and hip-hop moves. Brad Shipley, representing Pi Kappa Alpha, showed his skills dancing as Napoleon Dynamite for his talent. Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s Derrick Daughtry charmed his way through the com-petition by teaching Embry-Riddle’s male population how to be a true gentleman. Chris Mulderrig of Phi Delta Theta had the crowd in hysterics with a creative and original talent of synchronized swimming.

Delta Upsilon’s Antonio Teta made every-one laugh by teddy bear weight lifting, but received a crowd approving awe when

he proclaimed the teddy bears would be donated to kids with autism. Isaiah Rollolazo of Lambda Chi Alpha brought a new flavor to the stage and got everyone in the Spring Break spirit with an authentic Hawaiian Hula dance.

Kaloki Nabutola proudly represented Housing and Residence Life by showing his Xi Love, performing his original rap, “Rock with Your Left.” ROTC made a memorable debut as Mitchell Phelps blew the crowd away with his martial arts skills . . . and his abs. Ultimately, David Cruz, with his suave dance moves, made Sigma Chi very proud as he was crowned Xi Man 2012.

Beyond the fun of the competition, ticket sales, donations, and the candidate’s fund-raising efforts resulted in about $6,000.00 for Autism Speaks, Alpha Xi Delta’s nation-al philanthropy. Additionally, everyone in attendance was exposed to the reality of autism when Alpha Xi Delta played their autism awareness educational video. Please visit autismspeaks.org for more information.

Lastly, Alpha Xi Delta would like give special thanks to every amaXing competitor for getting to know us and proudly represent-ing us, Touch-N-Go for making this huge event possible, and to the audience for cheer-ing the competitors on and making Xi Man a success every year. Cannot wait to see what is in store for Xi Man 2013!

The first ever Mr. Burgundy & Gray con-test was held on Wednesday, March 28th and was a huge success for the Epsilon Lambda Chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. (LTA).

The event consisted of the following eight contestants representing their respec-tive organization: Peter Aguero (Delta Upsilon), Giovanni Alvarez (Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc.), Matthew Brown (Lambda Chi Alpha), Darryl Flanders (Housing and Residence Life), Kadon Kyte (Kappa Alpha Psi), Corbin McKeon (FIJI), Esteban Sanchez (Delta Chi) and Thomas Walden (Sigma Beta Rho).

The winner was awarded 50% of the proceeds raised to give to his philanthropy of choice, as well as VIP treatment at all Lambda Theta Alpha events. The other 50% of the proceeds are going to LTA’s national philanthropy, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Lambda Theta Alpha has been an official partner of St. Jude since June 2010.

The contest consisted of individual fund-raising by the contestants, Facebook pic-ture likes, evening wear, a question and answer session, a talent portion and LTA knowledge questions. All of the contes-

tants had outstanding performances and great dedication to raise money for their philanthropies.

However, one of the contestants scored above all the rest. Lambda Theta Alpha would like to congratulate Darryl Flanders, representing Housing and Residence Life, for being the FIRST ever Mr. Burgundy & Gray. Darryl alone raised over $600! He also had great poetry for the Sisters of LTA, and an incredible singing/dancing performance. He will be donating his 50% of the proceeds to The Boys & Girls Club of America.

Overall, the Sisters of Lambda Theta Alpha rose over $1500 for charity! They would like to thank everyone that came out to support the event, as well as all of the contestants that worked so hard to help put it all together. Look out for Mr. Burgundy & Gray, and congratulate him when you see him around campus!

Scholars are the leaders of our campus and the future leaders for generations to come. Scholars resemble excellence and the desire to achieve greatness. Scholars live busy lives, yet still have time to do great things within our community. Scholars are risk-takers; they are the ones who think outside of the box. Scholars hold their per-sonal standards to the highest level, as they should. Do you know the next Scholar of the Month?

Life is demanding and is always asking so much from each of us. As Embry-Riddle students, we have numerous responsibilities inside and outside of the classroom. We have responsibilities not only to ourselves, but to others around us including family, friends, co-workers, professors, and colleagues.

The Scholar of the Month pro-gram is designed to show the stu-dents that their SGA supports and admires students that uphold the high standards of our university. As an organization focused on the development of the professional skills needed for participation in a global commu-nity, the Student G o v e r n m e n t A s s o c i a t i o n wants to recog-nize those stu-dents who are not only academ-ically strong, but also those who are involved in our campus community.

The Student Government Association wants to encourage students, faculty and staff to recognize student scholars within our campus for the Scholar of the Month Award. Recipients will receive a certificate, their name engraved on a plaque in the SGA office, and a $25.00 gift card.

The March winners for the Scholar of the Month award were: Stefany Davila, Adam Kuebler, Adrienne Smith, and Gilda Tirra. Each of these recipients of this award was nominated by one of their professors and peers. The SGA encourages peers to rec-ognize one another because the faculty and

staff may not be aware of the involvement of the student outside of the classroom. They excel academically and are involved in giv-ing back to the community.

Stefany was nominated by her Omicron Delta Kappa honors fraternity faculty advi-sor, Dr. Richard Snow. Stefany is a senior in Aerospace Studies Major with her minors in Homeland Security, Humanities, and International Relations.

Stefany is not only one who works tire-lessly and efficiently, but she holds title as President of ODK. She coordinated her phi-lanthropy event called, Charity House, with great success despite the adverse weather conditions. She is also a sister of Theta Phi Alpha sorority and works in the volunteer network office. In short, Stefany is orga-nized, efficient, and extremely competent and a no-brainer for Scholar of the Month.

Adam Kuebler was nominated by his

classmate, Jonathan Heckman. Adam is senior and is planning to work at United Airlines as a Revenue Management Analyst. He is a very active member of the Embry Riddle and Daytona Beach community.

Throughout his time here at ERAU, he has started a business called, Eagle Trade, and has been a member of various clubs which include: President of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization, and an active member of Delta Mu Delta and Omicron Delta Kappa honor societies.

In addition, Adam finished 3rd out of 190 people in the annual Lufthansa Case Challenge. He was a founding mem-ber, finance, and marketing director of

TEDxEmbryRiddle. As part of the honors program, Adam did a research project on the air cargo market between the US and Brazil; this research was presented at the Symposium on Brazil at Daytona State. Overall, Adam is an awesome student and spectacular leader in our community and he will continue to be successful in the future.

Adrienne Smith was nominated by her professor and Eagles Flight Team coach, Les Westbrooks. Adrienne is a senior in Aeronautical Science Major, who is known to have a pretty sweet demeanor and a will-ing spirit to help.

Adrienne has demonstrated her excel-lence by her involvement and scholastic achievements. She is a board member of the Eagles Flight Team, which requires 12 hours a week of formalized, scheduled practice and meetings. She has been assigned many takes in her role as a team secretary and they

have been completed in a professional and timely manner.

Additionally, she is an active member of the AOA honors society. She also finds time to tutor her fellow students through a private tutoring service that caters to students on campus. Adrienne exemplifies an outstand-ing Scholar of the Month.

Gilda was nominated by her fellow Women in Aviation executive board member, Leah MacCallum. Gilda is a senior in Aeronautics Major with minors in Homeland Security and Air Traffic Control. She has held the title as the President of not only Women in Aviation, but also for The Ninety-Nines Chapter for the past two years.

She is also a sister in Alpha Xi Delta Sorority and is an active leader on our cam-pus. Off campus, she enjoys ice skating and volunteers her time teaching basic skating to those wanting to learn. Gilda has a viva-cious personality and a big heart. She has been described by her colleagues as hard working, honest and quite an inspiration to the women on our campus. She resembles everything a leader should be and will she continue to be an asset for our future genera-tions to come.

Scholars are students that are just like you. They come from various walks of life and backgrounds. Students are driven, focused, and involved in and out of the classroom. The SGA wants to acknowledge students who show excellence both inside and outside the classroom.

In the past only professors have been allowed to nominate students, but this year,

the privilege has been extended to all members of the ERAU commu-nity. If you are a professor, an RA, a project leader, or a student, and you feel that a student you know deserves recognition, be sure to nominate them for Scholar of the Month.

Students nomi-nated will be evalu-ated on their GPA and extracurricular activities, but the main focus is on a short essay written by the nominator; this essay should explain why the nominee is quali-

fied to be Scholar of the Month. Things to be considered should be class participation, academic excellence, community service, extracurricular involvement, and a general desire to help others. While GPA is an important characteristic of a scholar, it is not always the best representation of their work.

As a result, students who show dra-matic improvement in their grades over the last few semesters will also receive consideration. The goal is to find the most well rounded student, not just the smart-est. Nomination forms can be found under the services tab on the SGA website, sga.db.erau.edu

ERAU Men bring home 12th consecutive conference crown

The second-ranked Embry-Riddle men’s tennis team wrapped up the program’s 12th consecutive Sun Conference regular season title with a 9-0 defeat of 17th-ranked Warner on Saturday. The Eagles did not lose a single game in any of this season’s six conference matches and ran their unbeaten conference streak to 43-0, spanning the last 12 years.

A sweep in doubles play propelled the Eagles to an early three-point advantage. Top-ranked Adrian Bayh and Patrick Besch

downed Julian Ramirez-Luna and Vitor Schlepper 8-2 at No. 1. Chris Freeman and J.R. Leonik bested Patrick Frandji and Amar Vora 8-5 at the second spot and Simon Felix and Peter Francis completed the sweep with an 8-2 defeat of Diogo Barros and Juan

Espinel at No. 3. Singles play saw Felix and Bayh reg-

ister 6-1, 6-1 defeats over Schepper and Sa-ardphanchai, respectively. Besch topped Frandji 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 and Freeman got his 19th win of the year at the top spot after 29th-ranked Ramirez-Luna retired after fall-ing behind 6-2 in the first set.

Felix downed Espinel 7-5, 6-2 and David Spennare sealed the Eagles’ victory with a

6-3, 6-3 defeat of Barros at No. 6. Embry-Riddle now stands at 15-2 on the

year and 6-0 in the league. The Royals move to 11-3 overall and their 5-1 record places Warner at second in the league standings, marking the program’s best finish ever.

The Eagles will face their toughest challenge of the season when they host Armstrong Atlantic, ranked No. 1 in NCAA Division II, at 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Third-ranked Women’s Tennis rolls to third straight conference title

The third-ranked Embry-Riddle wom-en’s tennis team successfully defended its Sun Conference regular season crown on Saturday with a 7-0 road win over Warner. The Eagles (17-2) dropped just one game in seven conference matches on the way to their third consecutive league regular sea-son titles and a 7-0 conference record.

With just five courts available for play, both teams agreed to play the singles matches first rather than the traditional format of three doubles followed by six singles matches.

ERAU Head Coach Dave Paschal made some adjustments to his line-up as the five of the six singles players saw action at unaccustomed positions in Saturday’s match. Yi Ching Chen was the only con-stant in the lineup as she downed Cindy Prieto at the top singles spot. Kristina Marova played at No. 2 for the first time this season, while Josefine Strom, Paola Montero and Giovanna Tomiotto rounded out the No. 3 through No. 5 spots. All five ERAU players notched 6-0, 6-0 victories over their respective opponents and the Eagles got its sixth singles point by virtue of a forfeit.

The Eagles’ next match will be at 2 p.m. on Thursday when they host Armstrong Atlantic at the Crotty Tennis Complex. The Lady Pirates are 18-0 on the year and are ranked third in NCAA Division II.

At the intersection of US 1 and Nova sits a small establishment that makes the best authentic cheesesteaks in Florida. To get to Famous Philly’s is a bit of a drive down US 1 but definitely worth it; once we arrive at Famous Philly’s and walk through the door we immediately feel the authenticity of the meal we’re about to take pleasure in.

The menu at Famous Philly’s had several unique items that drew our interest and after some debate we decided on the Krab Fries as an appetizer. The Krab Fries come steam-ing hot and well seasoned, with cheese on the side for dipping. The fries taste deli-cious and salty with the seasoning and go especially well when dipped in the warm creamy cheese, but for those who don’t like a real salty taste I recommend ordering something else. Soon the fries are all gone but the delicious salty taste still lingers, that is, until the wings arrive.

The Honey BBQ wings arrive basted in the sauce but not sopping wet like most wing houses will serve their wings. For a relatively cheap price we get 10 wings and soon find that we made an excellent choice in adding these to our order. The wings are perfectly crunchy, not underdone like at regular res-taurants, and covered in a sweet sticky BBQ glaze that gives the wings a flavor that has us almost gnawing our own fingers. Once we’re done with the wings it’s time to move on to the main event and reason for driving all the way to Famous Philly’s, the cheesesteaks.

Famous Philly’s has an array of chees-esteak selections to choose from on their menu, from steak only to Joe’s Steak Italian which has Italian peppers and cheese. A 9” cheesesteak is enough to fill an average man but they also offer 18” and 22” cheesesteaks to challenge those few who are brave enough to try. If you order a 22” cheesesteak, when

it arrives you may think that there’s no way you could ever put that much meat inside of you but it looks so good, you won’t be able to help but lift it up and try. I decide to chal-lenge myself and try a 22” Original chees-esteak which has onions, American cheese and steak; each bite of the cheesesteak is full of smoky and flavorful steak complemented by the sweet taste of the grilled onions and melted cheese which is infused in the bread as it soaks up all the flavors. After a while I stop eating this delicious combination of steak, grilled onions and melted cheese on a

hoagie and think “You win this time chees-esteak but I’ll be back”.

I leave the restaurant feeling defeated by that 22” monster but find solace in the knowledge that I’ll be back to finish the job on that 22” cheeseteak. Although I absolutely encourage anyone who enjoys delicious food and cheesesteak sandwiches to try Famous Philly’s, I would not recommend it for a date because anything you order will be messy. As I walk out the door I can’t wait until the next time I’m here again indulging in another savory cheesesteak explosion of taste.

21 Jump Street is a film adaptation of the hit 80’s show of the same name which starred Johnny Depp; Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum starred as the two undercover cops sent to apprehend a high school drug cartel by posing as teenag-ers. Despite trepidation from fans of the original 1980’s show, 21 Jump Street was able to please fans and leave audiences entertained for 109 minutes.

Hill and Tatum had an on screen partner-ship which made both characters seem like actual partners trying to keep it together in the field. The fights, camaraderie and atti-tudes between Hill and Tatum portrayed an exchange between real teammates. Although Hill’s and Tatum’s characters did not start as friends, once they became partners, they quickly developed a friend-ship which was crucial to the plot of the film as undercover cops. The rapport

between Hill and Tatum made the comedy in 21 Jump Street hilarious as the two kept bouncing jokes off of each other.

For fans of the old TV show, 21 Jump Street had many references to its previ-ous incarnation for fans to enjoy. While the movie clearly pays homage to the show there were on screen cameos by Korean Jesus and Johnny Depp. 21 Jump Street obvious origins paved the way for the film to make fun of itself and the fact that it was just a regurgitation of ideas from the 80’s.

Despite the challenges in reviving ideas from the 80’s and putting them on screen, 21 Jump Street managed to get 3.5 airplanes out of 5 by paying homage to the original series, featuring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as a comedy duo and plenty of gunfire. If you’re a fan of the series you won’t be disappointed,

and if you’ve never seen the series before you can still enjoy the action and comedy of 21 Jump Street.
