Conor Dugan began his career at UNC Charlotte as a business major, and now almost four years later has transitioned to International Studies and Latin American Studies with a minor in Spanish. The New Jersey native originally planned on going to college in New York City but in the end decided to come to UNC Charlotte.

“I wanted to go somewhere urban. I wanted to go to a city school. Charlotte was closer and more affordable, and I liked the programs it was offering because I wanted to be a business major originally,” he said.

During his last year in Charlotte, Dugan will be taking offi ce as Student Body Presi-dent after a four-week campaign where he and Loren Fouts beat out the Stephen Belle Isle and Matthew Best campaign by 354 votes, with a 6.5 percent voter turnout.

While he may not be from Charlotte Du-gan feels a deep connection to the universi-ty and hopes to make campus a more com-munal place for students during his time as Student Body President.

The Student Body President and Stu-dent Senate members of the Student Government Association (SGA) for next academic year were announced Thursday, March 29, 2012. Conor Dugan and Loren Fouts have been elected has Student Body President and Vice President. Student Sen-ate winners are listed below.

Of the over 25,000 students at UNC Charlotte 1,593 voted in this year’s spring election. Of the 1,530 votes cast for Student Body President and Vice President, Dugan and Fouts received 942 votes, which was about 62 percent of the total votes cast, while Stephen Belle Isle and Matthew Best received 588, 38 percent of the votes.

“I just want to say thank you to every-one who came out and voted. Thanks for all the support,” said Dugan as he accepted the position. “I’m looking forward to a really great year working with everybody.”

Twenty-three senators were also elected at the announcement. For the Belk Col-lege of Business, fi ve seats were awarded to Stephanie Aguirre, Amber Lowe, Charles Palmer, Pooja Shah and Evan Wardrop.

The three seats for the College of Health and Human Services went to Jerell Collins, Cameron Scott Toney and Jamaica Wash-ington.

The College of Computing and Infor-matics fi lled two seats to Edward Brinson and Maybelline Burgos.

Nine seats were fi lled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences by Ahmad Boney, Ablavi Dossou, Jason Adam Hartsoe, An-isah Jabar, Arash Moazzami, Erika Mor-ton, Nauman Panjwani, Robert Pope and Mark White.

The William States Lee College of Engi-neering fi lled the three available seats with Phillip Allen, Bryan Clark and Taylor Trog-don, Jr.

The University College elected Ugo-chukwu Duru-Iheoma to fi ll the senate seat. Duru-Iheoma, however, received no votes during the election period, meaning either no one from the University College voted in the election or no one in the Uni-versity College voted for a senator to repre-sent the college in SGA.

According to the American Cancer So-ciety over 577,000 Americans are expected to die of cancer this year. UNC Charlotte students, faculty and staff are coming to-gether to change these numbers.

Through the American Cancer Society, the university will host its own Relay For Life fundraiser to support cancer research and outreach programs for promoting awareness and supporting cancer patients and their families.

After the Opposition to Amendment One Resolution passed in the Student Sen-ate Thursday, March 22, Student Body President Dave Craven vetoed the legisla-tion less than a week later.

After the veto Craven worked with some students who supported the original reso-lution to make new legislation that served a more educational purpose, rather than opposition.

“I feel that this newly written legislation is something that all of UNC Charlotte can proudly stand behind,” he said.

This new legislation, called the Truth About Amendment One Act, was brought before the Student Senate Thursday, March 29.

The Student Government Association (SGA) felt their job was to education stu-dents on the proposed Amendment One, which will limit domestic partnerships rec-ognized by the state of North Carolina to the legal marriage of one man and one

together more and establish more com-munity with students, which with football coming along I think that’s going to happen as a byproduct. I would like to establish that before that happens,” said Dugan.

To make this a reality he plans to edu-cate students and organizations more on the money they have access to and make the process of obtaining that money easier. The more money organizations have the more events they will host, which will en-gage students more and encourage them to hang out around campus, he said.

While this community aspect of his cam-paign was a large focus, Dugan found that while talking to students one of the biggest concerns that was raised was the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) on campus.

“That’s a big thing I was talking to stu-dents about, and every time I brought it up it was the biggest thing students said they wanted to see handled,” he said. “I want to work on getting that running more effi -ciently and get it on time.”

Dugan’s work with the CATS line is all part of his plan to make sure students are “getting what they voted for.” A student lights a luminary in honor of an

UNC Charlotte’s Relay For Life will be a 12-hour event from Friday, April 13, 2012, at 6 p.m. until the next morning at 6 a.m. at the Belk Track and Field.

“Relay is about coming together as a community and taking steps forward to fi ght back,” said freshman Jessica Connors, co-chair of the committee for Relay For Life of UNC Charlotte.

This event is open to anyone who wishes to attend. Over 830 participants have regis-tered online to begin fundraising for Char-lotte’s Relay and to participate in the walk. Many of these participants are part of cam-pus based teams, of which there are 72. So

far UNC Charlotte has raised over $10,900 for Relay For Life.

“[Relay] is my personal way of fi ghting back. I want cancer to be an out-of-date word. I want there to be a cure,” said Con-nors.

As a new part of the event this year, two UNC Charlotte professors will speak about their fi ndings in cancer research on cam-pus.

Dr. Didier Dréau, assistant professor of biology, specializes in lung, breast and skin cancer research. In a project funded by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Founda-tion, Dréau works to develop a model of late phase breast cancer to determine why the cancer cells move into the bone.

“Take Back the Night,” a UNC Charlotte hosted event, is meant to raise awareness about domestic violence against women and families. The event will begin Thursday, April 12, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. at the Belk Tower and is scheduled to last about an hour or two.

According to the Domestic Violence Resource Center, one in four women has experienced domestic violence in her life-time.

“The United States had its fi rst ‘Take Back the Night’ in 1978 in the state of California,” said Princess King, assistant director for Minority Student Support and Women’s Pro-grams at UNC Charlotte. King also oversees the Women’s Pro-grams and Safe Program.

“Normally, ‘Take Back the Night’ is held in October, but

we decided to hold it now be-cause April is sexual assault awareness month,” said King.

During the event, victims and survivors of sexual assault will share their stories of abuse. A series of people from differ-ent resources will also be in at-tendance in order to speak. The Counseling Center, The Health Center, United Family Services and the Police and Public Safe-ty Department are among the guests at the event.

“The idea is to give these people a platform to share their experiences with the au-dience. Supporters and UNC Charlotte students will be given the chance to ask the speakers questions concerning violence. Students will be able to truly understand what violence is all about,” said King.

King expects around over 100 students to attend this event because she considers it to be rather notorious. “Take

Back the Night” is not only held in the UNC Charlotte commu-nity and other local communi-ties but also around the coun-try.

“Greek Life and Women and Gender Studies push their members and students to at-tend events like this,” said King.

King says college students can make a difference or help eliminate domestic violence. “Students should attend the event to educate themselves

about violence. They should continually make themselves aware of their resources and surroundings. People think nothing bad will ever happen to them. Violence is not some-thing to shrug off,” said King.

King urges students to be a friend to those who have suf-fered from domestic violence.

This event is sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center and the Student Health Center.

Dr. Pinku Mukherjee, Irwin Belk Dis-tinguished Scholar of Cancer Research and former associate professor of immunology at the Mayo Clinic, researches pancreas and breast cancer, immunotherapy and tu-mor immunology.

“People [will have] a chance to hear about what’s really being done right now [with cancer research],” said Sean Langley, assistant director for Off Campus and Vol-unteer Outreach at the Dean of Students Offi ce.

The event also includes a dinner meant to honor breast cancer survivors and their families.

“Everybody is rooting [the survivors] on. They feel the love and support [of par-ticipants] and share their joy in fi ghting back and beating cancer,” said Langley.

UNC Charlotte’s event will also feature live entertainment and activities through-out the night to continue raising funds for the American Cancer Society.

As participants honor cancer survi-vors, they also remember those who have lost their lives to cancer. In the luminaria ceremony luminaries are given in honor of people with cancer, those who have de-feated the disease and those who have lost the battle against it. As luminaries are lit participants take a silent lap.

“[The luminaria ceremony] reminds you what Relay is really about. There are people losing their lives to cancer. Children losing parents and parents losing children. It reminds you why you want to work even harder for Relay,” said senior Shantel Ad-ams, chair of UNC Charlotte’s Relay For Life Committee.

“Almost everyone knows someone who has lost someone to cancer or been diag-nosed with cancer. Come out to Relay and help others fi ght back. Your support doesn’t go overlooked,” said Adams.

DUGAN from p.1woman. Amendment One will be on

the North Carolina primary ballot Tuesday, May 8, 2012.

“We can now begin to focus our time and energy on encouraging fellow students to try and understand the full implications to Amendment One, and be sure that our student body gets out and votes on this is-sue when it comes in May,” said Craven.

A vote to override Craven’s veto was tak-en at the most recent senate meeting and failed 11-to-11. A two-thirds majority would have been needed to override the veto.

The Truth About Amendment One Act was read at the same meeting and Senator Nauman Panjwani, who wrote both the old and new resolutions on Amendment One, moved for the new legislation to be fast tracked.

This means that instead of Student Sen-

Another concern students voice often is rising tuition, so to delay the process of tu-ition increasing even more Dugan plans to advocate for the improvement of facilities already on campus instead of building new buildings on campus.

He feels the addition of new facilities should only be done after current facilities are at peak performance.

“[During the campaign] I said a lot about working with what we have and im-proving that so it’s not something that we have to throw more money at. I think the best solution right now is to work with ac-cess to facilities that we already have,” he said.

Dugan and Fouts’ inauguration will be help Thursday, April 12, when they will of-fi cially take offi ce.

ate waiting until the week after a piece of legislation is read to vote, they vote that week. The new act was then passed by the Student Senate.

Although many people who spoke on the issue strongly opposed Amendment One, like stated in the Opposition to Amend-ment One Resolution, some now stand behind the new legislation and it’s role in getting students out to vote while others oppose the new amendment because of it’s neutrality.

“PRIDE [People Recognizing Indi-vidual, Diversity and Equality] publically supports the new resolution,” said Bonnie Green, the president of PRIDE.

“The argument today is about the new resolution. This new resolution makes it so that SGA helps us educate the student body on the new amendment and get students out to vote on May 8.”

Dear Editor,

Your Tuesday, March 27, 2012 front page story titled “Professor Claims to Find Jesus” is unfortunately inaccurate and quite untrue to the facts. Our recent discovery in a sealed 1st century Jeru-salem tomb using a robotic camera in-volved a unique Greek inscription and a image we understand to be that of Jonah and the Great Fish. Both are amazing fi nds, the fi rst of their kind ever found from this period. Our exploration was carried out under an archaeological per-mit held by UNC Charlotte. The so-called “Jesus tomb” is something else entirely. It was excavated in 1980 by Israeli ar-chaeologists not by us. The tomb we ex-plored is 200 feet away but the relation-ship between the two is the point of the analysis in both the book and the docu-mentary and scholars will likely be de-bating this for some time to come. I hope your readers will consult our university web site where a full press release has been issued that gives a much more ac-curate account: http://publicrelations.uncc.edu/news-events/news-releases/jerusalem-tomb-exploration-reveals-fi rst-archaeological-evidence-christian.

James D. Tabor in behalf of our entire archaeological team

A new bill, HB 2675, is the hot topic in Arizona where it may or may not take ef-fect. This bill requires that everyone in the Arizona State University system pay an additional $2,000 each year to the school they are attending.

There is one exception to this- ath-letes. This means only football players and other athletes will be exempt from the tu-ition increase and not students from low income families who can’t afford it.

As a college student, I know how hard it is to save up and fi gure out ways to pay for school. Many students wouldn’t be able to go to college if it weren’t for scholarships and knowing that, they work very hard in order to attain said scholarships.

Yet the Arizona government somehow thinks that going to football practice every night is harder work than studying. The idea for this bill came from the information

that nearly half of the students in the Ari-zona State University System did not pay tuition due to fi nancial aid. However, this informa-tion turned out to be untrue with the actual percentage close to 25 percent.

What I can’t understand is how they can justify allow-ing athletes to be exempt from this bill. What makes playing a sport more important than studying? If anything it would be easier to justify why the gaining of knowledge should be rewarded more than throwing a football.

Rep. Michelle Ugenti, a Republican from Arizona, showed no sympathy to stu-dents pleading for the bill to be repealed. Ugenti’s only reply was, “Welcome to life.”

With the presidential elections coming up in the fall, public education is a topic many people feel should be discussed more often. Loans and debt are a burden many

college students are forced to deal with.According to the NY Times, the aver-

age college debt rose to $24,000 in 2009. Another study shows that 85

percent of college graduates have to move back in with their par-

ents because they can’t afford to pay for rent on top of loans.

If HB 2675 goes through it could potentially encour-age other states to try this sort of budget cutting.

At UNC Charlotte sig-nifi cant tuition hikes have

already been approved by the Board of Governors. Students

will pay an extra $417 next year because of budget cuts and new fees for things such as construction projects, and athletics. What Arizona is proposing may seem absurd but the truth is we really aren’t that far behind them.

As registration opens many of you may be trying to decide whether to take a huge lecture class or a smaller class with more individual attention. Before you make up your mind you may want to consider the pros and cons of each.

Although most people would as-sume that smaller classes are the best to take, there are some other important factors to take into con-sideration that depend on the way you learn and how well you retain informa-tion.

When I have the choice, I usually opt for the larger classes. One thing that large classes usually don’t have is an attendance policy. I fi nd solace in knowing that I’m go-ing to class because I want to learn and not simply get a good grade.

Not to mention attendance policies just seem redundant to me. If you go to class you will get a good grade and if you don’t go to class you won’t. Another factor is how much easier it is to go incognito in big classes. Your chances of getting called on in a class of 300 people are pretty slim.

Small classes defi nitely can be benefi cial to many and I think that some classes need to be small. In most cases, the teacher has more control. They can answer questions and go around the room to help ensure that the students clearly understand the topic.

I went to a very small high school, some of my classes only had fi ve people in them. I think for classes such as Spanish , which involves a lot of participation, the smaller the better.

I can’t imagine having to practice my Spanish at home by myself. If you’re one of the people who likes to ask questions and work with other people, a small class would be most desirable.

There are two different types of learn-ing techniques: direct and inquiry based. It is often debated which is most conducive to learning. Direct teaching is what is done in most lecture hall classes. They tell you the

information and you are asked to memo-rize it.

However, if you go home and research it on your own time this would be an example of inquiry based learning. Many smaller classes can also incorporate inquiry based

learning into their classes because they have the materials to do so.

I believe that a smaller class would be more benefi cial for people who just memorize the informa-tion and immediately forget every-thing they learned after the test. The teacher could give the class some

hands on activities, allowing students to re-tain more information.

However, if you’re like me and would rather go home and research and come up with your own ways to learn, you’d prob-ably prefer the lecture hall class.

In the end what it really comes down to is personal preference. If you hate being called on in class and prefer to research the topics and study on your own, then choos-ing a large class is probably going to be your best bet. However, if you like working with groups and like to actively participate in class, a smaller one would probably be best suited for you.

Do you prefer lecture halls or small classrooms?

Dear Editor,

To The UNC Charlotte Student BodyWe are aware that some have called

into question our stance on the issue of Amendment One. We are sending this to reassure you that our position on Amendment One has not changed. We have been, and still are, AGAINST Amendment One, and we will continue with our efforts to fi ght this Amendment, to educate the student body about what is going on and to push UNC Charlotte to get to the polls on May 8th. We are pushing for the education of Amendment One so that people are aware of what they are voting for or against, and we stand for the equality of people’s right of choice. Our main goal is to educate in hopes that people will vote against, but it is not our role to force our views on others.

Sincerely, PRIDE Exec Board

Prohibition hosted a speakeasy ben-efitting the Alzheimer’s Association on Friday, March 30, 2012.

Wearing 1920s clothing was encour-aged, and the admission fee of $10 in-cluded gaming chips, a ticket for a free specialty martini or moonshine drink and free swag.

I walked out of my apartment in my t-strap heels, dangling earrings and drop-waist dress, while my date put on some slacks, loafers and a newsboy cap.

With that we headed into Uptown, anticipating that the night would be a blast into the past.

By the looks of the club, you wouldn’t have guessed that a special event was

going on that night, especially since the guys at the door were dressed in t-shirts and jeans.

For a moment I thought that maybe I got the dates mixed up but was quickly assured that this was the right place and the right time. After being handed two tickets each, one for a drink and one that would get us playing chips, we ventured into the dimly lit space.

The crowd was a mix of people most-ly in their 20s and 30s, some dressed up in their newspaper boy hats, suspend-ers, feather boas, flapper dresses and the like, while the majority were dis-appointingly clad in their modern-day, casual, after-work clothes.

Blackjack and Roulette tables were set up and the employees for the most part dressed up as if they were at a

1920s speakeasy. Across from the bar was a little video game arcade and as the night went on, rap and pop played, grow-ing progressively louder by the hour.

I must have missed the les-son in American History that taught about video games and rap music being big in the Roaring Twenties.

While Prohibition is a fun enough space to hang around in, it seems to have a bit of an identity problem.

The name implies jazz, the names of the drink specials re-flect the intended time period, and the wall is full of quotes referencing the prohibition era, yet there is still something lack-ing in the overall atmosphere of the club.

A flat-screen T.V. had a bas-ketball game playing, much to the delight of some of the pa-trons, but that detail made the place feel like a bit of a sports bar.

I had been expecting to feel as if I was on the set of something between “Chicago,” “The Great Gatsby” and “A Midnight in Paris.”

I wanted to feel like Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald could have walked into the club at any moment, and having a bunch of modern contraptions and anachro-nisms scattered throughout Prohibition made that feeling impossible.

Once I put my slight disappointment aside, I had a good amount of fun. I was pleased by the Prohibition Punch since it was loaded with grenadine, and play-ing Blackjack was especially enjoyable since I wasn’t betting actual money.

As the night wore on we inevitably made friends with our competitors.

At the end of the games, the remain-ing chips were converted into raffle tick-ets. I was feeling pretty proud of the 19 tickets I had until I saw a woman with a strip of tickets so long that it touched the floor.

Needless to say, I didn’t win any raf-fle prizes that night, but I did get a free hat and t-shirt. All those freebies made me wonder how much the club was ac-tually able to raise for the Alzheimer’s Association.

I ultimately didn’t get out of the night what I had initially intended. But at least I met some cool people and had a decent time.

Titanic re-released in 3DBarry Falls Jr

BFALLS4@UNCC.EDU

If there are three things James Cameron knows it’s deep sea exploration, linear but effective story-telling and 3D technology.

On Wednesday, April 4, 2012 movie goers can find all three of these things in theaters when Cameron’s record-breaking epic makes its way back to the big screen in 3D.

Commemorating the hundredth year anniversary of the ship’s maiden voyage, the 1997 disaster/romance that fic-tionalized the account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic has a lot of movie fans excited.

The Star Wars saga has recently drawn attention for angering fans with unnecessary changes to the films when they’re re-released, such as the notorious choice to make Greedo shoot Han Solo first. Cameron made sure he did not repeat George Lucas’ mistakes.

A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Cameron recently admit-ted on ABC Nightline that despite many of the mistakes found in Titanic, no scenes were changed at all.

Instead Cameron worked with 300 computer artists who spent 750,000 man hours giving one of his most iconic films a third dimension. The process took a total of 60 weeks and $18 million.

And the final product truly delivers. From the opening scene, the 3-dimensional aspect is just as impressive as you’d expect from the man behind “Avatar” without growing

overbearing. Titanic may not be as impressive a cinematic feat as some

of Cameron’s other films, such as “Aliens” or “The Termina-tor,” but Titanic is still as touching and exhilarating as it was in 1997.

For the intellectuals looking to explore the “unsinkable ship” through a factual lens, Cameron’s new documentary “Titanic: The Final Word” premieres Sunday, April 8, at 8 p.m. on National Geographic.

BY THE NUMBERS

60 Rejection letters received by Flynn before publish-ing his first book, “Term Limits.”

13 Novels published by Vince Flynn. All of them center on Mitch Rapp, except one.

Vince Flynn’s new novel “Kill Shot” is the 11th in a series of espionage thrill-ers, going back to the 90s, based around the character of Mitch Rapp.

The book is a look back into the story of the assassin; how he was recruited into the CIA and how the once-rocky relationship between him and his han-dlers evolved into the one Flynn’s read-ers are now familiar with.

Flynn said in a recent interview that he had already been planning on taking readers back into Flynn’s past, but rela-tively new talks of a movie deal seem to be another reason why the time was ripe to make Rapp younger.

After years of these talks going no-where, 2011 released the first prequel to the Mitch Rapp novels: “American As-sassin.”

This book seemed to jumpstart the movie deal and CBS Films quickly de-cided to change the film adaptation from an earlier book to the prequel.

After a couple of years of rumors floating around regarding Gerard But-ler, Bruce Willis (neither bad decisions) and others, the studio now had a reason to look into younger actors, and the pre-quels all began to make sense.

A year after the release of “American Assassin,” Flynn released “Kill Shot,” an entirely different take on the Rapp franchise.

The first nine novels in the series served as shoot-‘em-ups; Mitch Rapp was Jack Bauer before there was a Jack Bauer.

While “American Assassin” began to dive deeper into the relationships be-tween the main players in the CIA that defines the organization, “Kill Shot” goes even further.

It branches away from the usual set-ting and plot of a Rapp novel in that the conflict is entirely internal within the CIA.

Rapp is set up during a hit job near the beginning of the story and spends the rest of the book trying to figure out who is responsible.

As he is in Paris for the job, he quick-ly melts into the population and the rest of the book is based around both friends and enemies trying to rein him in.

Although the story line is deep and entertaining, I couldn’t help but a no-tice an increased amount of childish

bravado involved in the dialogue. I understand that a macho vibe can

be expected in stories revolving around men that kill for a living and rely on brute strength to survive.

I am not simply some tree hugger re-viewing a book about CIA assassins; I have read every one of these books and look forward to the next.

That being said, “Kill Shot” steps it up with the childlike name-calling be-tween newly minted members of the CIA’s killing team.

As I began to notice this it turned me off, but I soon became aware that it was probably purposeful and actually works quite well.

Most of this odd attitude (I kill be-cause I like to kill and it doesn’t matter who I kill) comes from the story’s an-tagonist, another recruit that came up at the same time as Rapp. That sort of character building can be expected.

Rapp and other characters also showed signs of being unreasonable, but it’s important to realize that this is a prequel.

These are the characters before they were hardened to the realities of their jobs. It’s also a team that hasn’t been fully trained, and the rogue, trigger happy murderers haven’t been weeded out.

Flynn was diagnosed with stage III metastic prostate cancer in November of 2010 and dedicated “Kill Shot” to his team of doctors.

There isn’t any obvious change in writing due to his facing a deadly ill-ness, but it does seem that Rapp is a bit more concerned with living life than in other books.

Rapp has a love interest for the first time since the earlier books, and more than once he contemplates leaving his life of killing behind and trying a real life with his new girlfriend.

This could be a reflection of Flynn contemplating resting a bit after more than a decade of constant writing and book tours, but I see that as doubtful.

Judging from interviews with Flynn, he seems as energetic and ready to con-tinue writing as ever. He has said that he plans to return to the present day for his next Rapp novel.

It’s more conceivable that Rapp’s doubts can once again be chalked up to the fact that it’s a prequel.

Any reader of Flynn’s other novels can tell you that Rapp wouldn’t be naive enough to think he could leave the CIA and live a normal life later on.

Yet in this book, Rapp wouldn’t think twice about not only leaving the CIA, but killing any superior involved if he felt he was put in danger.

Yet, as any Rapp fan knew already, he was going to make it all along.

Fave footwear: 5 of my must-have spring shoes DREAM CRUSHERS:

Uche OnuohaHONUOHA@UNCC.EDU

Before I came to UNC Charlotte I always knew the kind of life I would like to live. I also knew I was going to accomplish that by owning my own company.

My vision became clearer after I got here because when I was living at home I felt very complacent. A lot of things were within my reach. I felt like I had everything I needed and had all the time in the world to do whatever pleased me.

But as soon as I got to school reality

kicked in. No one would remind me to eat, wake me up or plan things for me. That was when I realized I have to take responsibility for my actions and my future.

I always knew I wanted to make a lot of money, live a comfortable life and help oth-er people. I joined an organization called the Young Entrepreneurs Association that taught me to be responsible and chase my dreams, which is how my journey began.

I set a goal to have a company started before I graduate from UNC Charlotte. I came up with some ideas which I thought were fantastic and I began to develop them.

In the process of developing these ideas, I noticed that things were not going the way I planned. I observed my surroundings and fi gured out why things were not moving in the direction I wanted them to.

I fi gured out six things that were hold-ing me back from achieving my dreams and decided to write a guide about them to share with others. I call them the six dream crushers.

If anyone with a dream can avoid these things nothing can stop them from success.

6 obstacles to get control of before they limit your goals

Uche Onuoha is a junior fi nance major at UNC Charlotte who was born and raised in Nigeria. He’s a believer that hard work and resilience lead to success. Below he shares insights about achieving goals and

dealing with the forces that get in the way.

INSECURITY: You have to be confi dent in yourself and believe in what you are doing. If you don’t believe in it, then no one else will. Even if people don’t believe in it, you can

be able to convince them into believing. TRUST ISSUES: Trust yourself. When you have a dream, you are a leader, so if you don’t portray enough courage to let people

know they can trust you, then you have given them a reason to see your dream through a foggy lens. JEALOUSY: Always appreciate and respect other peo-ple’s efforts and their own dreams. Do not be jealous because it will get you

distracted from focusing on your dreams and making it happen. LACK OF COMMUNICATION: Don’t be afraid to let people know what you

are doing. Communication and good relationships are great tools for dream achievement. ASSUMPTIONS: Avoid making assump-tions and ask questions about things you are not sure of. Your

dreams are not standardized or midterm tests. Guessing on things when they have to do with your dreams will cost

you more than guessing on that economics test and getting it wrong INSTIGATORS: No matter what you do it pays off to be a good listener and respect

people’s opinions. Listening well and respect-ing people’s opinions doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to agree with them.

You are the dreamer and no one can orchestrate your dreams better than

you can, so always bare that in mind. Some people will always

say things to make you give up on your dreams, so

beware of these dream

crushers.

I have spent the last few weeks lusting over some of my new favor-ite warm-weather shoe trends. While my shoe wishlist may be a little too long I have com-

piled this much shorter list of my fa-vorite spring and summer footwear trends I am dying to add to my collec-tion.

Flat platformsIt’s not a fl at, it’s not a wedge, it’s

a platform! When I fi rst saw them I was unsure how I felt, wondering what they could be paired with. But when I tried some on I realized they could be bohemian and casual or they could be chic and modern. I could see them being worn with an earthy summer dress or a bold pants suit, depending on someone’s style. That’s when I fell in love.

Deck shoesMy style is usually not preppy but

every once in a while I like to add a traditional item to my outfi t and mix it with something a bit more edgy.

Looking less like a Sperry and more like a fl at, the deck shoes that have my heart are the ones in bright colors and patterns. Flamingo pink, nauti-cal stripes and lacy canvas ones are my absolute favorite designs. Pairing a traditional-style shoe with a leather jacket would be the perfect combina-tion for someone who is not-so-tradi-tional.

Printed-all-over wedgesWhen it comes to any season of the

year, the wedge is my shoe of choice. Wedge sandals, wedge boots, wedges are my perfect go-to shoe when I want to dress up my outfi t a little bit but still stay mostly casual.

I have a huge collection of cork and wood wedges, with colors and designs on the front and top of the wedge and a tan cork bottom. But my new wedge favorites are the ones with a colorful design all over the shoe, including the wedge heel. A shoe like this could be the center of attention for your whole outfi t.

Canvas sneakersI tend to stick with a pair of ballet

fl ats if I plan to dress casually in a t-shirt and jeans, but ever since my eyes laid on a pair of printed little sneakers, my mind has changed a bit. These lit-tle canvas sneakers could be anywhere from sporty to boho to classic, depend-ing on the color and print. Mix them with a pair of rolled-up jeans or capris to create a look perfect for walking to class.

Pastel oxfordsWhen I used to think about oxford-

style shoes what came to mind were a brown, taupe or black chunky fl at de-signed for colder weather.

While I loved the trend I didn’t think it was a very practical shoe for spring and summer. But now I have been seeing some oxfords in many pastel colors perfect for spring, such as in baby pink and, my favorite, mint green. Some of them even have cut-outs throughout the shoe making them much more breathable for those hotter days.

Jeans have worked their way into every type of man there is - cowboys, rebels, bik-ers, rappers, rockers and even the business man.

Jeans seem to be the simplest addition a man’s wardrobe

but there is much more to it than just waist and length sizes. While those two aspects can fi t fi ne, the pants could look sloppy depending on the cut, shade and style.

Through this guide we’re going to clear up what kind to wear and how to wear them.

Shade. Shade may be the most im-portant aspect of what jeans you are wearing, which is why I want to begin with it.

Every shade and color of denim is available but most of these are not for the everyday gentleman. The best shade to start with is a darker blue.

These can be worn casually with t-shirts and polos alike. Even sport coats are highly acceptable with a pair of well-fi tted dark jeans.

The jeans that are acceptable in the rarest situations are white, but most of the time these cannot be worn without some independent research.

Cut. Cuts vary almost as much as shade but the main ones are regular, re-laxed, boot cut and straight.

Regular-cut jeans are explained in the name. They are the average jeans that are great for outdoors activities or physical labor. These have plenty of room to move around and aren’t cut to accent your body or impress anyone.

Relaxed-fi t jeans are a little baggier. Boot cut, like relaxed, are self-explana-tory. When wearing any kind of boots, stylish or working, these are cut near the ankles in a way that won’t drag under your tread and become ragged.

Straight-leg jeans are the go-to style to wear formally and casually when you want to show off your style. These get rid of the dreaded mom butt and stick closer to your legs so it doesn’t appear you’re smuggling umbrellas.

It is the most common cut that ap-pears in fashion magazines and can be worn with loafers or dress shoes.

Style. Style is a combination of the material of the jeans and the cut. Many jean companies, with the exception of high-end brands, make both fashionable jeans and working jeans.

The fashion style is usually a material that will hold up against the wear and tear of everyday wear but aren’t starched or made of thick uncomfortable denim. The work style are usually stiff and rigid to withstand the stress of physical labor but are extremely uncomfortable to wear to work or out on the town.

Over the years hundreds of jean companies have sprouted. Each of these companies is vying for reputation and customer loyalty.

My recommendation is the Levi Strauss denim company. This corpora-tion makes every style and cut in almost every size imaginable. Levi’s doesn’t change the production often and so you can fi nd what works for you and just stop in a store to pick up your favorites with-out worrying about manufacturing mis-takes.

Remember to try different waists and lengths before choosing your size be-cause although they fi t doesn’t mean it fi ts well. The waist shouldn’t be so con-stricting that you can not tuck a shirt in and the ankles should rise to your shins when you walk. The appropriate length of jeans cannot be stressed enough, next time you are walking on campus you can see men wearing high waters and ob-serve.

You’ll understand the fact that you don’t want to be that guy. Experiment and fi nd your favorite brand and cut.

As we’ve seen with the rise of social me-dia and the Internet, it’s never been easier to have your voice be heard in the world today. A recent example is the interest and awareness generated by the “Kony 2012” video campaign. The campaign’s success serves as proof that people who have a cause or want to start a movement can do so effectively on the Net.

This means you can be the media. You are a publisher, if you want to be. If you have a mission, cause or purpose close to your heart, you can now fulfi ll it more eas-ily than any other time in our history. Of course, it takes courage to stand up for what you believe.

There’s no excuse for not turning your passion or purpose into a way of infl uenc-ing others into awareness or action. This is the perfect time to do it.

Here are fi ve ways to start your own movement:

1. Choose your cause. If there’s been something that’s been in the back of your mind, something you’ve been thinking of doing for a longtime, do something about it.

Choose what your movement is going to be.

Helping raise awareness for any cause, no matter how niche, is a good choice, as long as it’s important to you. It could be teaching young children how to be more fi nancially aware, helping fi nd homes for animals, talking about self-image issues for teen girls or Alzheimer’s awareness.

2. Choose your platform. There are so many different platforms online today for spreading your message it can be con-fusing, and it’s going to be impossible to do them all. So, choose two or three different platforms.

For example, you can start with a blog as the hub for your movement. Then you could add in YouTube with videos that are supporting your cause and in alignment with what you’re doing on your blog. And a third option could be Twitter or Face-book accounts, two great places for fi nding like-minded people for gaining interest and support and starting conversations.

3. Begin publishing. Now, you have to have content that’s out there talking about what your vision is, what your cause is, or what you want to change or bring awareness to in the world.

You can’t have just one blog post or one video about whatever your movement is about. Once you begin publishing, publish content consistently.

Make sure that you’re going to be pub-lishing something at least once a week, so people know and expect it, and so the search engines won’t ignore you since you have no new content.

4. Ask for help. Once you gain some momentum with your movement, ask for help from other experts or other people who are interested in the same cause. You can assemble a “panel of experts,” which has multiple benefi ts.

One is you’ll take some of the work off of yourself from having to post once a week (or more) and you’ll have new perspectives and conversations about your topic, while still providing new content for your follow-ers.

5. Keep moving forward. Just like anything that is worth doing, starting a movement doesn’t happen overnight. But, if your heart is in it and if it’s something you’ve been thinking about for a long time, just keep moving forward.

You’ll see momentum build for your movement. Who knows how you can posi-tively change the world?

At a young age, Billy Boykin must have taken “Bring your Kid to Work Day” with his dad very seriously. As the current head coach of the Men’s tennis team at UNC Charlotte Boykin is shadowing his father, Jim, who held the position for 17 seasons before his son took over. In addition to succeeding his father, Boykin has led his 49ers to success.

Jim Boykin retired with a school record 200 wins and led the program to its only conference championship in 2007. Billy does not feel concerned or pressured by his father’s success.

“I don’t know if I feel pressure to win” Boykin said. “Obviously you want to win; you don’t go into coaching unless you’re a competitive person, so I put that pressure on myself.”

Boykin claimed that the only pressure he feels regarding his father is to one day become as well respected as a person. “We’re really close I mean he’s my best friend,” Boykin said.

Even though they may have different music on their respective iPods, father and son get to work together daily in a team environment. Boykin doesn’t take his father’s presence for granted as he continues to learn from the man who raised and coached him.

Before arriving in Charlotte to coach his father’s 49ers, Boykin was an assistant coach for a very successful, nationally ranked College of Charleston program. After that he pointed an ailing program in the right direction as the head coach at the University of Richmond, one of Charlotte’s

A-10 foes. Hired in July of 2010, Boykin has learned plenty from other organizations and has brought along a familiar coaching philosophy to the 49ers.

“Those program experiences help me every day,” said Boykin. “There are a lot of things that change from school to school. So I think it’s important to identify what your strengths are, as well as your weaknesses.”

This year’s squad apparently has not had any trouble identifying their strengths under Boykin. Consisting of fi ve freshmen, one sophomore, two juniors and only one senior, the team has so far posted an impressive record of 14-6. That is already an improvement over last season’s 8-16 mark. According to their coach, this young and talented team still has room for improvement.

“I don’t know if people quite understand how good these players are” Boykin claimed. “They’re a hungry, competitive and hard-working team, yet we still haven’t played the tennis yet that we’re capable of playing. Our best tennis is still ahead of us even this year.”

Contrary to a general opinion about the sport, a successful tennis program involves a tremendous amount of teamwork something Boykin says is another strength of his team.

Within the next month, Boykin and his team will move into their new home, the multi-million dollar Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex. The coach was at a loss for words when asked about the signifi cance of this move for the program.

The tennis teams at UNC Charlotte have never had a true place to call home. The new complex will offer a place for players to rest and leave their equipment, rather

than carrying rackets around to class all day. Injuries can be healed quicker in a modern training room. There will be plenty of meeting space for breaking down video tapes and other “chalk talk,’ a luxury the program has never enjoyed.

“For our school to demonstrate that kind of commitment to the tennis program, it’s really exiting for the coaches and players alike,” Boykin said. “Our athletic administration is the best, I mean they’re incredible. They’re so supportive and they want to give you the tools that you need to go out and compete and be the best team you can be.”

The coaches and team seem to be using

these tools adequately, posting seven wins at home this season while only dropping two matches. After the season’s fi nal scheduled match at Radford University this week, the team will compete at the Atlantic 10 tournament on April 13, 2012 in Mason, Ohio. If Billy Boykin wants to lead the 49ers through the tournament like his father once did, he will more than likely have to get by a tough Richmond squad packed with players he recruited and knows very well. Even though he still has great relationships with his former players, he obviously would not mind beating them on his way to an A-10 title.
