!e Wedington corridor, stretching from Interstate 540 to Broyles Avenue, could be redesigned to make the area more walkable and con-venient for residents, city planners said.

“It’s a de"ned area of where we are going to put in

to drawings how we want the area to look over the next 15-20 years,” said Andrew Gar-ner, senior planner in the city planning division of the City of Fayetteville. “We’re going to be doing a neighborhood plan. !ere is no formal plan put together at this point. We’re just brainstorming.”

City o#cials have said that the redesigned neighbor-hood would be given a degree

of urban $air. !e streetscape would make the neighbor-hood more walkable, making corner businesses more ap-proachable.

“We’ve already been talk-ing to business owners, and we know the area prob-ably needs to be made more walkable,” Garner said. “It’s not very safe to walk on it. A lot of people work in the neighborhoods, but there’s

not a safe way to walk to it, especially from residential neighborhoods to business districts.”

Walkable communities provide a smart, sustainable community and a pleasant environment that incorpo-rates a variety of places to go and things to do, according to theatlanticcities.com.

With the presidential elec-tion only a week away, many students have made up their minds on who to vote for, while others are still unsure.

Family background and party ties were strong factors in$uencing students’ deci-sions.

“I’m very strongly Repub-lican,” said Heidi Bingen-heimer, junior biomedical en-gineering major. “I grew up in a conservative family, and my dad is a pastor. It’s natural for me to be conservative. Many of the views conservatives have, I agree with. Many of the views of liberals I do not agree with.”

Jonathan Phillips, sopho-more sociology major, said he will also probably vote along party lines, but additionally for the character of the can-didate.

Other students are wor-ried less about political par-ties and are more concerned with the amount of time a president has to implement change.

“I think presidents should have a full eight years to carry out their plans,” said Cassaun-dra Travaille, junior computer science major. “!at really in-$uenced who I will vote for. A president doesn’t come into o#ce thinking he’ll only have four years.”

!e candidates’ views on important foreign, domestic and social issues also contrib-uted to whom students decid-ed to vote for.

“Romney’s views on wom-en’s rights and gay rights, as a gay man, scare me,” said Jay-

Students and faculty par-ticipated in the third annual Celebration of the Mind event 11 a.m., Saturday in the Union Ballroom to honor author Mar-tin Gardner as well as to show-case projects and recruit local high school students, a UA pro-fessor said.

!is is the "rst year the event was expanded to be a community event.

“!is is the "rst year we have tried to turn this into a recruiting event and not just a university event,” said James Roddy, statistics masters stu-dent.

Other students thought the event was a success in its "rst year of expansion.

“!is has been a huge suc-cess because of everyone in-volved,” said Derick McCol-lum, junior math major.

“We learned a lot about pre-senting and what everyone else is doing,” he said.

McCollum presented at the booth “How Google Works,” which explained algorithms pertaining to the search engine.

Other students presented games for students, faculty and high school students to play.

Professors and students want to continue to expand the event to become an annual community event.

“!is year is de"nitely our learning experience,” said math professor Janet Woodland. “We de"nitely generated some-thing to use for next year.”

Fraternity members from Delta Epsilon Mu are looking to start a chapter at the UA.

Delta Epsilon Mu is a national professional frater-nity geared toward students interested in careers in the health, medicine, physical therapy, dentistry, nursing or biomedical engineering "elds.

“I think they’re just look-ing to expand,” said Shane Barker, pre-professional ad-visor for Fulbright College. “It’s very preliminary, and I’m trying to help facilitate getting them here on cam-pus.”

A handful of students at the UA are interested in being a part of the found-ing chapter of DEM, said Michael Dawar, director of expansion and president of the DEM chapter at the University of Kansas.

“I was contacted by stu-dents at the university over the summer stating they were interested in starting a chapter of our fraternity at their university,” Dawar said. “!ey requested as-sistance in recruiting mem-bers, so I started posting on Facebook pages and groups

to gain attention for the group and help them recruit more students.”

!e UA would be one of the few DEM fraternities in the Midwest, which would allow students to work with other nearby chapters and get involved on a national level, Dawar said.

“Our fraternity was in-terested in starting a chapter of our fraternity at Arkansas because we were told there was no other organization of our kind at the school, and that it would help unite students of various health "elds under one banner,” Dawar said.

Dawar said he hopes a chapter can be established at the UA by the end of this semester or the beginning of the spring semester.

!ere are already four registered student organi-zations on campus for pre-dentistry, pre-medicine, pre-optometry and pre-pharmacy students, but Barker said there were no organizations for students in other popular medical "elds such as physical ther-apy.

“I was looking to do something for them either individually or organiza-tionally,” Barker said. “It was

son McBride, a job coach at the university.

Abortion stances, wars in the Middle East, plans for bringing jobs back from overseas and reasonable plans for reducing the na-tional debt were other issues students said were impor-tant to them.

Although some students have already chosen who to vote for, they said they have little enthusiasm for either candidate.

“!e candidates aren’t that great this year,” Bingen-heimer said. “It’s just choos-ing the lesser of two evils.”

Other students agree.“I have a good idea of who

I’m going to vote for, but if I had a choice, I wouldn’t vote for either of them,” said Kaylan Mason, junior psy-chology major. “I wouldn’t have voted for Obama in 2008, but I’m not a big fan of Romney. I don’t agree with Romney’s religious a#lia-tions. Being a big business person, he can’t relate to the middle class. I feel like he’ll make a lot of bad decisions. Granted, Obama will make bad decisions, but Romney’s

will be much worse.”Despite the political hype

and media coverage of the election, many students said they were still unsure of who to vote for.

“I don’t know who I’m voting for yet,” said Keith Giovannini, sophomore computer science and engi-neering major. “It’s boring to me. I know I probably should keep up with it more, but I just get annoyed with politics.”

To come to a decision, Giovannini said he would read both parties’ platform and then vote for whoever he thinks will do the best.

“I don’t claim myself as a Democrat or a Republican,” Giovannini said. “I consider myself an American. I never plan on voting one way or another.”

Another student, Dennis Koch, junior history ma-jor, said he is also unsure of who to vote for because he has not paid much attention during the election season. He said before Tuesday he would research both candi-dates on internet sites such as Yahoo.

perfect timing both ways.”All students are welcome

to join DEM even if they are already involved with a pre-heath RSO, Barker said.

“Because we are pre-health, we cover all the di%er-ent health "elds, so members have an opportunity to learn about all the "elds and see what will best "t their inter-ests,” Dawar said.

DEM o%ers professional and personal development workshops, speakers from the health "eld, community ser-vice and volunteer opportu-nities and extensive network-ing opportunities across the nation, Dawar said.

“Many of our members are in similar majors and ca-reer paths, so they are able to

study together and help the younger members with class-es they have already taken,” Dawar said.

!ey also help members with job shadowing, prepar-ing for graduate schools in their "eld, getting into gradu-ate programs, getting into contact with admissions rep-resentatives from schools and visiting schools as a group.

DEM is the only national professional fraternity that is open to both men and wom-

en, according to the DEM website.

DEM has 12 chapters and seven colonies on 14 univer-sity campuses throughout the country, and it is the fastest growing pre-health profes-sional fraternity in the na-tion, according to the DEM website.

Students who want to get involved or have ques-tions about DEM can contact Barker at sxb028@uark.edu or Dawar at mdawar@ku.edu.

In addition, homes in ur-ban, walkable communities have experienced increased property values, and college students from walkable neigh-borhoods showed improved performance on recognition memory tasks, according to theatlanticcities.com.

City planners are perform-ing “charrette” processes, that involve getting input about the planning process from residents in a short period of time, Garner said. It also in-cludes meeting with members of the public and getting their ideas about transportation, improvements, problems and issues in the residential area.

Meeting the needs of long-standing residents and accom-modating change is important for the success of urbaniza-tion, according to theatlantic-cities.com.

Charrette processes are also helpful in getting resi-dents’ opinion about what the neighborhood identity should be, Garner said.

Feeling isolated from the community can be a detri-mental side e%ect of urbaniza-tion. If changes do not come from within the community,

residents may feel like they are losing control over their neighborhood, according to theatlanticcities.com

Although city planners are still unsure of speci"c improvements that residents will want, they said that walk-ability and transportation are likely changes that residents will request.

“I think it would be a really good idea because whenever I go running it’s di#cult in some spots because the side-walks aren’t very wide or well maintained,” said Shawnya Wethington, sophomore jour-nalism and English major.

!e bus stop for Je%er-son Bus Line and Razorback Transit is already located on Wedington and is useful for getting around town locally or for long trips, Garner said. Another bus stop could be an idea some of the residents or college students present to the city planners, he said.

While urbanization can be bene"cial to the city, the envi-ronment and the local econo-my, it does not come without consequence or cost. !e area may bene"t from reduced driving, land consumption

and emissions, but through the process of urbanization, some neighborhoods that have been quiet and family friendly may be overwhelmed by noise and construction, ac-cording to the theatlanticci-ties.com.

“If they had to close the roads to work on the side-walks, that could block up tra#c, especially on game days,” said Danny Swirsky, sophomore accounting major.

An o#cial budget has not yet been set because city plan-ners are still in the beginning stages of the renovation pro-cess. Physical improvements would be later steps that would go through the Fay-etteville City Council, Garner said. He said he expects they will have a mix of short-term, midterm and long-term goals, while some projects may be put on a wish list for a later date when the city has more funding.

“We’ll take seeds of ideas, whichever ones seem to have a lot of merit, and those are the ideas that we will water and will take root, but we have to start with an idea "rst before we start doing it,” Garner said.

!e National Science Foundation o#cials awarded a UA professor with $600,000 to launch a new engineering scholarship program.

Professor Manuel Rossetti received a grant in August of this year to begin the Student Integrated Internship Re-search Experience program, or SIIRE.

!e mission of this pro-gram is to increase the number of science technology and en-gineering students that gradu-ate from the university, said Manuel Rossetti, industrial engineering department head.

“We want to integrate in-ternship experience with stu-dents’ academic experience on campus,” Rossetti said.

!is program will o%er stu-dents "nancial aid, personal industry, academic mentoring, research experience and hope-fully hands on job or intern experience, Rossetti said.

!rough SIIRE, students may apply for scholarships, as well as receive training and guidance to help prepare them to "nd a job in the engineering "eld, Rossetti said.

!eoretically, students would enter this scholarship program as sophomores — as long as their grades remain consistent — continue with the program until graduation, Rossetti said.

At the end of their junior

year, participants will enter phase two of the program, where scholarship funds in-crease and students begin to work on "nding research top-ics. SIIRE aims to help stu-dents develop research topics that could potentially serve as graduate thesis.

!e state of Arkansas is one of the last states in terms of graduates in the "elds of archi-tecture and engineering. Send-ing more students into the state’s engineering workforce is one of the biggest motiva-tions for why the government would want to support a grant for this program, Rossetti said.

“I think the engineering department at Arkansas will de"nitely bene"t from the SIIRE program,” said Scottie Finch, junior computer engi-neering major.

!e university already has a great engineering department and this could help serve as even more incentive for people to look at applying to Arkansas for school, Finch said.

“I think the country in gen-eral needs more engineers,” said Keith Ericksen, junior electrical engineering major.

Scholarships play a huge role in the decisions students make about college and their careers. Students should de"-nitely take advantage of an opportunity like this, Ericksen said.

“I wish we had this program when I was a sophomore,” said Eric Torres, junior mechanical engineering major.

Music festivals are becoming extremely popular all over the country. Global spending on music rose 1.3 percent in 2011, the !rst increase in several years as growth in concerts and music festivals o"set a modest decline in recorded music, according to PricewaterhouseCooper International Limited.

People travel across the nation to hear an array of their favorite artists. Musicians and artists alike attend music festivals to network with other artists. #is in turn allows musicians to collect insight from other artists as well. College kids, a few friends on a road trip and even families attend music festivals to share their

passion for music with a diverse population. It’s all based on coming together and enjoying music. #e fact that thousands of people attend festivals a year demonstrates music’s importance in our world, and is one of the oldest forms of entertainment.

#is isn’t just a fad, music festivals have been a staple in our culture since the 1960s. Eighty-one percent of festivals in America today have some kind of music performance, according to a National Study of Outdoor Arts Festivals by the National Endowment for the Arts.

#e infamous Woodstock festival during the counterculture movement pioneered the music festival culture. #e U.S. was still recovering from the post WWII tragedy when the Woodstock Festival commenced in 1960.

Hippies, along with college students and intellectuals, participated in this gathering to bring together Bay area activists who had been involved in the movements for civil rights and freedom of speech. In addition, the counterculture activists, who

believed in dropping out of society instead of reforming it, also participated, according to www.woodstockpreservation.org.

Poets, spiritual leaders and anti-war activists were invited to speak, according to www.woodstockpreservation.org. #is festival represented a culture coming together in peace in times of war. Even with 20,000 people in attendance, there was a large opposition for Woodstock.

#is sociopolitical movement demonstrates the freedom that the nation had been !ghting for, de!ning the culture of this time period.

As the a$ermath of WWII faded and the economy began to improve, the focus of festivals shi$ed away from crisis and more toward entertainment. People had more money to spend on leisure, which added to the growing popularity of festivals. Festivals functioned as a place where people met peacefully in crisis that marks a trend in American history.

Another way festival goers enhance their peaceful experience is through

psychedelic substances; a trend that is popular in the music festival culture. It’s not hard to sneak paraphernalia in festivals, considering a majority of the festivals are held on private property.

In today’s society, civil rights and civil liberties are better implemented. Because our population is rendered equal under the law, everyone’s voices can be heard. It is exempli!ed so well in Arkansas, during Wakarusa. Our own little Woodstock (hopefully it is here to stay.) It is no surprise that the festival has its fair share of “lawbreaking,” but due to our property laws, legal respect is given to festival-goers.

Also, with innovations in technology and communications, citizens have more e"ective ways to voice opinions and concerns to our government. Because of the con%icts and wars that were fought by past generations, we can carry on the tradition of the music festival, but based solely on entertainment.

Traveler Quote of the DayI think presidents should have a full eight years to carry out their plans. !at really in#uenced who I will vote for.

Cassaundra Travaille, Junior, Computer Science Student Voters Make Election Day Decisions, Page 1

Last week, I wrote an article about getting your (butt) to class. For some people that does not seem to be a problem. What is a problem is the amount of respect that our students show for their professors.

I have noticed my peers talking during lecture, blatantly staring at their phones, packing up early and even slapping one another. #e last one happened in a 5000 level (graduate) class.

It seems obvious that I should not have to address some of the problems listed, maybe I am an extremist when it comes to being respectful to our professors. #at means you should not be late, whispering (even if it is about the lecture — you can ask the professor), on your phone or doing

something not related to the class.

#is is common sense, and we are all in college — but some of us still do not seem to get it. Excluding that guy who never answers anyone’s emails and gives tests that have nothing to do with the lectures, let me put into perspective why the professor deserves all of the respect we can give.

People who earn a college degree earn 84 percent more over their lifetime than someone with a high school diploma, according to a study by Georgetown University in 2011. Who is the liaison between you and the degree? #e professor.

College degrees are precious in this country. About 30.4 percent of Americans older than 25 have a degree, according to the U.S. Census Bureau last year.

Well less than half of the country has the advantage of a higher degree. Once again, the professor is the vehicle to that degree and all that it entails.

From an economic standpoint, what does not make sense to me is that college is expensive. Student loan debt is around $914 billion, according

to an article published in September by CBS Money Watch. Why pay for a class if you do not invest yourself into it? When you pay to go see a movie, do you talk during it or stare at your cell phone the whole time?

But, let us also talk on a human level. A$er all, there are more important things in this world than money, right?

In Japan, for example, students clean the classrooms and bow to their teachers as a sign of respect. Finland has the world’s highest-ranking education system, according to Scholastic. #e degree of respect for the teacher in Finland is as high as the respect for a doctor. Of course, there is a lot more to be said about both of those cultures.

Still, that should not prevent us from taking cue from the world’s top-ranking education system and showing respect for our professors.

Professors are people, too — who have feelings like the rest of us. I know some students who complain that it is their professor’s fault for how poorly they did in the class, but that is usually an excuse.

Some of these antics are

childish. #is guy in my class was slapping the girls sitting beside him in class.

People get so anxious about packing up when there are a couple minutes le$ in a 50-minute class during which they were looking at their phone more than the board. Who is on the other side of that text message who is so important?

Anyway, this as been my experience with professors that deserve the respect that they are not getting. I would not say everyone out there is like this in the classroom, but we can do so much better. I could not believe that I was !nding myself doing the !rst grade “shhh” in class the other day, but at least it worked!

I think this issue represents something larger that is wrong with our society. It is amazing how we live in a country that is extremely prosperous and has made so many advancements except in social courtesy, which has regressed. Ask your parents if they would have gotten away with what you did in class today.

Social Courtesy’s Biggest Slip in Respecting the Professor

Save the Ta-Tas Foundation was introduced in 2008 with the purpose of !nding a cure for breast cancer and the con-troversies popped up quickly a$er.

Today, about 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, according to can-cer.org. It is the second lead-ing cause of cancer deaths in women and because of this, at-tention must be paid.

Foundations arose, money was donated and research be-gan. A few foundations begin with negative feedback from people, breast cancer survivors in particular.

“Save the Ta-Tas” is found somewhat o"ensive to many women with and without breast cancer. Because of the title, it puts more emphasis on ensuring physical beauty rath-er than saving women’s lives.

As most breast cancer pa-tients know, a mastectomy is o$en suggested to these pa-tients who have large tumors or even multiple tumors inside of one or both breasts. A mastec-tomy is a procedure in which the surgeon removes part or all of the breast tissue.

#e title of this campaign is insensitive to those women who had mastectomies be-cause they had to choose be-tween saving their breasts or to saving their lives. Importance should not be placed on body parts.

#e Save the Ta-Tas Cam-paign therefore suggests that saving women’s breasts from cancer is more important than saving a life. #is reduces women down to physical body parts instead of functioning human beings. Yes, the name is %ashy but is breast cancer not enough to grab people’s atten-tion? When it comes down to cutesy names, a disease should not need one.

Breast cancer is a very se-rious issue a"ecting women across the world, but is Save the Ta-Tas the best way to go about spreading awareness? #e slogan itself is very im-mature, along with many other breast cancer slogans like “Feel

Your Boobies,” or “Save Second Base.”

#is is bothersome because this disease mainly a"ects women, so it must be about a hyper-sexualized body part; one which society looks down on if, say, a woman breastfeeds a child in public. But, what would men do without ta-tas to obsess over?

#e sexualizing of an ill-ness is incredibly demeaning of women and needs to be stopped. #ese titles make it seem like the point isn’t about saving lives at all but saving breasts because otherwise, men will be deprived of sexual plea-sure.

Focusing only on the breasts obscures reality and hurts those survivors who ei-ther don’t have their breasts because of cancer or have scars across the breasts they were able to keep.

Many patients have beaten cancer but lost their breasts in the process, which seem to be the only concern when it comes to raising money for cancer research.

For those who don’t sur-vive their breast cancer, more than any other, show how ri-diculous it is to focus on such a thing like “saving second base,” which inherently suggests that women are only worth saving because of the sexualized func-tions of their bodies.

Something other than an immature, demeaning saying like “save the ta-tas” is needed to bring attention to breast cancer. #e SCAR Project’s motto, “Breast Cancer Is Not A Pink Ribbon,” shows how im-portant breast cancer is to their founder David Jay.

Jay’s mission is to photo-graph young breast cancer survivors to raise awareness of the severity and seriousness of the disease. He photographs these women to capture the raw beauty, strength and char-acter of so many extraordinary young women, according to thescarproject.org.

Women who have breast cancer shouldn’t be saved be-cause of their ta-tas, but be-cause they are humans who de-serve it. Cancer is no joke, and should not be treated like one.

So as Breast Cancer Aware-ness month wraps up, remem-ber the survivors, not the breasts. Know how important the disease is and how much it a"ects the women in your life.

Don’t help save the ta-tas, help save a life.

“Making Your Journey Worthwhile”

Prospective parents may expect to forget about having time to themselves, going out or having an uninterrupted night’s sleep, at least for a period of time while their children are fully de-pendent on them. Parents may also expect to be done putting another person’s basic needs above their own as their child becomes older. But what happens when the mom, dad or spouse of a par-ent develops a mind-altering condition that in-creasingly prevents them from tending to their everyday and long-term personal needs?

Senior social work major Paige Johnston has taken a special interest in the well-being of care-givers, those who care for Alzheimer’s and de-mentia patients, in particular. It was a little a!er 2 p.m. on a Monday when she sat down at Arsaga’s on campus to tell about how her interest led to her recent reception of an Honors College re-search grant and what she hopes to accomplish.

Johnston said she is primarily concerned with the high mortality rate and stress levels of full-time caregivers. "ere is a need for people who have a heart for both them and those being cared for, she said.

“I was a caregiver, so I know how hard it can be, and I only did it 40 hours a week,” she said. “It’s emotionally draining because they can’t do anything for themselves.” Johnston worked at Homestyle Assisted Living in Springdale.

“I love the elderly, and I loved working with those people,” she said.

Johnston will be basing her research o# of a local respite care program called Caring Friends

at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Fayetteville. "e program allows caregivers to leave their loved ones with volunteers from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on "ursdays to engage in various activities for $10. "e purpose is to give caregivers time to them-selves at a price they can a#ord.

Johnston said she realized how much of a di#erence only four hours can make when she talked to a woman who had utilized the program who told her, “I haven’t had a four-hour period to

run errands and eat lunch by myself in so long.” Johnston said her primary goal is to prove

that more a#ordable respite services like St. Paul’s should be o#ered in Arkansas in order to de-crease the stress levels of caregivers. Because the baby-boomer generation is now at the age where Alzheimer’s and dementia will soon become concerns, the demand for full-time caregivers, as well as the need for programs that take the edge o# for caregivers, is going to increase, she said.

“I interviewed this caregiver last semester and she went on and on about how thankful she was (for the program) because the people actually loved and cared for her husband,” Johnston said. “She could see that he was happier, so she didn’t feel guilty (about leaving him).”

Johnston’s thesis adviser and mentor is Alishia Ferguson, assistant professor of social work.

“She’s so encouraging and understanding that I’m new to this,” Johnston said. “She helps me learn and understand the big picture. She’s such a strong force in the $eld of social work. I’m go-ing to be a professional social worker soon, and I look up to her as someone I’d like to be like.”

"e research grant will allow Johnston to con-duct a study that she hopes to ultimately show the importance that more of these programs ex-ist.

“I want more people to know about it,” she said.

She plans to have participants answer a ques-tionnaire before the study actually starts in order to get an idea of outside stress factors the caregiv-ers may already have. Her control group will con-sist of caregivers not using a respite service, and her intervention group will consist of ones who are. All caregivers will text their stress levels on a scale of 1 to 10 each day to Johnston. She hopes the data will back up and give credit to her hy-pothesis that giving the caregivers a break, even for a short time, will signi$cantly decrease their overall stress levels, which would a#ect the mor-tality rate and the well-being of the caregivers.

Johnston said that although she enjoys the $eld of aging, she is open to working with chil-dren, teens or families and to “wherever life leads.”

"ere’s only one way to get o# death row — exoneration. “"e Exonerated” is a play produced and put on by the Universi-ty "eatre for its Studio Series. It will only be performed during the University "eatre’s Studio Series as opposed to its regular season. "e show will be performed Oct. 28 to 31 at the Nadine Baum Studios on West Spring Street. All shows begin at 8 p.m.

"e production consists of a much more stripped-down set and appearance than its more elaborate counterparts. Essential-ly, the more technical aspects of the show are taken away, allow-ing the actors to test di#erent techniques while also allowing the audience to experience a more intimate production, according to theater o%cials.

“"e Exonerated,” locally directed by Morgan Hicks and originally written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, is the story of six Americans who were placed on death row and eventu-ally proven not guilty a!er wrongful imprisonment. Blank and Jensen utilized personal interviews and testimonies as well as courtroom interviews to collect and tell the story of the six in-dividuals.

“"e Exonerated” in an award-winning show that “discloses the magnitude of human judgment and reinforces the inestima-ble value of the one life we have each been given,” according to the play’s press release.

Debbie Banos, a graduate student actress, believes the play is something that can be appreciated by all audience members due to its overarching themes of humankind.

“"is story is about hope, compassion and forgiveness,” Ba-nos said. “Even though these people went through impossible circumstances, they have somehow forgiven. Sunny Jacobs, the character I will be portraying, says, ‘I want to be a living memo-rial ... and that’s my revenge. "at’s my legacy.’”

Hicks believes that University "eatre is fortunate to have the support of Nadine Baum Studios for productions like this.

“"e Walton Arts Center has provided a wonderful perfor-mance venue for this play,” Hicks said.

“"e Exonerated” was selected as the best play of 2002 by "e New York Times and is described as “stark, riveting, and cunningly orchestrated” by "e New Yorker.

Emily Harvey, senior English major, said it’s important for students and other members of the UA to take advantage of pro-ductions such as this.

“"is play is widely acclaimed, and it’s being performed right o# campus,” Harvey said. “Going to see it is not only a great way to support the local arts and our drama department but is also a good way to become familiar with some of the great literature of our time.”

Campus parking is available in the Stadium Drive parking facility, where parking is free a!er 5 p.m. Paid parking near Na-dine Baum Studios can be found in the lots on West Avenue, Spring Street and School Avenue. Admission is free.

While it is only Monday, many students are already planning for the weekend, de-ciding which party to go to or which res-taurant would be the most delicious. A few hundred students on campus have been planning and persuading others to join their political party and sparking interest in their RSO, UA Young Democrats, since the beginning of 2012.

According the UA Young Democrats website, the purpose of Young Democrats is to promote the values of the Democratic Party on the UA campus while also promot-ing political awareness and involvement in the political process.

While many organizations have re-quired meetings or events, joining the Young Democrats is as simple as liking the RSO’s Facebook page or emailing demo-crat@uark.edu. With over 200 students in Young Democrats, anyone who is interest-ed is encouraged to come volunteer at the phone bank or attend a monthly meeting.

“"is Wednesday, Oct. 31, and "urs-day, Nov. 1, the Young Democrats will par-ticipate in a local phone bank where we call people to talk about issues nationally and locally in the Union room 308,” said Mat-thew Seubert, senior political science and economics major. “We make a big di#er-ence for local candidates as we try persuade those we call to vote.”

On Tuesday, Nov. 6, the Young Demo-crats will come together and host an elec-tion watch party where members and any-one interested can watch the results.

“We try to engage students on every level, whether it is volunteering to help with the campaign or getting an internship,” Seubert said. “Our main goal is to remind people to get to the voting polls.”

"e Young Democrats base expands be-yond just college students.

“I started a Young Democrats chapter at Fayetteville High School, and I have seen the great impact an organized and thought-ful group of young people can have on both their school and community,” said Ezra Smith, freshman Arabic and international relations major.

According to an article posted on "e East Carolinian website, only 22.8 percent of eligible voters under age 30 cast a vote during the 2010 elections.

"e main goal of the Young Democrats is to promote support for the Democratic party, but they are also keen on getting stu-dents to become involved with politics re-gardless of political party.

“Students will leave the UA with a de-gree, but our goal is to keep them interested in being involved politically a!er college by encouraging them to vote and keep volun-teering,” Seubert said.

With Facebook statuses recently having a majority of political opinions expressed in them, escaping the subject of politics can be challenging.

“At our age it may seem like politics do not matter but more than anyone else it is our generation who will rise or fall with their decisions,” Smith said. “I would en-courage students to pay attention and to learn about the current issues.” "ey may $nd out they have more at stake then they realize by not casting a ballot.

With the election being eight days away, the Young Democrats have already been planning on what to do a!er the votes are casted.

A!er the election the RSO plans to con-tinue to deepen the relationships that they already have with local candidates as they want to continue to help and support them for future elections, Seubert said. “We have forged over 200 relationships with people from volunteering that expand on campus and o#.”

"e UA Young Democrats Facebook page has almost three hundred likes, but the

group is always intent on expanding.“With the election this cycle we did

not have much time to grow our numbers before we had to start phone banking and knocking on doors,” Smith said. “Our group this year has gone above and beyond the call of duty of any party auxiliary but we have so much more potential. I would like to grow here and expand into our local high schools and NWACC. We have a lot of work to do but I am very excited.”

"e RSO hopes to inspire their members to stay passionate about politics beyond the UA campus.

“"e Young Democrats have worked hard into creating lifelong citizens that will continue to do their civic duty and vote for the issues that they believe in,” Seubert said. “Students will leave the UA with a degree but, our goal is to keep them interested in being involved politically a!er college by encouraging them to vote and keep volun-teering. We are voting for something that will not only a#ect the next four years, but it could impact the country for the next 40 years.”

FOOTBALL

On the way back to Fayette-ville from Little Rock Saturday, I heard something on the radio that really made me think.

I have no idea what station it was on or even who said it be-

cause I was going through the stations so quickly, so I don’t know speci!cally what led up to the statement or what followed it, but I have to say I disagree.

A sports analyst said he thought Bill Snyder deserves to win the National Champion-ship because of what he has ac-complished at Kansas State.

Don’t misunderstand me, Snyder has done great things at Kansas State. He has returned Kansas State’s program to na-tional prominence and success it enjoyed when he led the team the !rst time.

Snyder !rst coached the team from 1988 to 2005 when he retired, but he was brought

back as the coach at Kansas State in 2008. As the coach of the Wildcats, Snyder has a re-cord of 159-82-1.

I really only have a problem with one word in the statement: “deserves.”

If Snyder and the Wildcats win the national title, it will be because they earn a spot in the BCS Championship game and play better than their opponent.

If they win, it will be because they earned it, not because they deserve it. See, in sports, very few things happen because they are deserved. Players and teams have to earn success.

"ere was a lot of talk at the end of last season that Alabama

did not deserve to play in the title game. But with a 21-0 rout of LSU, they sure did earn the title of National Champions.

Of course, this isn’t just true in football; it works in all sports.

Carlos Beltran has earned a postseason batting average of .363. Some fans would say that he deserves a World Series ring, but he has never been on a team that earned the right to play in a World Series, much less win one.

Athletes play with all their hearts and leave everything they have on the !eld, and sometimes that earns them great things.

Two of the most important plays in Saturday’s game for the Razorbacks were not big, explosive plays. "ey were just tough, lay it all on the line runs.

Dennis Johnson had Reb-els hanging all over him, but he kept pushing forward to get every yard, every inch that he could. When he pushed into the end zone, he had earned something great.

Unfortunately, not every-thing earned is fair.

Sometimes a player gives everything they have and the unthinkable happens.

South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore has already worked his way back

from injury once. He did not deserve another injury, espe-cially not one as gruesome as the one he sustained Saturday against Tennessee, but by giv-ing his all for his team, that is what he earned.

If there is anything to dislike about sports, it is how unfair it can seem at times, especially when a hard-working, stand up guy has his season possibly ended by one play, one tackle.

In Sports What is Earned is Not Always DeservedCOMMENTARY

Haley MarkleAsst. Sports Editor

A#er losing to the Ole Miss Rebels 30-27 Saturday, the Ra-zorbacks will have to win three of their last four games to be bowl eligible at the end of the season.

"e game against Ole Miss is one that Arkansas could have won. "e only thing the Razor-backs have to blame for this loss is bad o$ensive play.

"e Razorbacks are a team that have come to rely on their defense to do just enough and leave it up to the o$ense to win the game.

However, the defense played one of their best games of the season against the Rebels, and the o$ense played well below its potential.

“We strug-gled in the s e c o n d h a l f , ” h e a d coach John L. Smith said of the o$ense. “"ey did a good job mak-ing some ad-justments and we

s t r ug-gled. We

s t r u g g l e d

to run the ball. We struggled throwing.”

"e Razorback defense has given up an average of 424.6 yards per game this season, 5.8 yards per play.

"e defense held Ole Miss to only 355 yards, a full yard less on each play.

However, the defense did al-low the Rebels to extend drives with conversions on third down. Arkansas’ opponents have been converting on third down almost 40 percent of the time this season.

"e Rebels converted seven of 15 third-down attempts, or almost 50 percent.

"e Razor-back o$ense had 464 yards of to-tal o$ense

against Ole Miss, which is actually

higher than their average of 431.8."ere are few things that

could have caused the number of yards gained to be so high with a relatively low score.

"e !rst is an inability to ex-tend drives in third-down situ-ations. Arkansas averages just

over 35 percent success rate on third down. Saturday, they were 5 for 16, barely over 31 percent.

Another possible factor is the lack of a consistently good !eld position. Ten of Arkansas’ 14 possessions began with the ball at or inside the 25 yard line and twice a drive began at the 5-yard line.

Possibly the most important factor is the number of penal-ties Arkansas was called for, and the yards those penalties cost the Razorbacks.

Going into the game, Ar-kansas was penalized almost !ve times a game for 37.7 yards. Against Ole Miss, the Hogs had 12 penalties for 70 yards.

Two of those penalties were called on senior quarterback Tyler Wilson for intentional grounding. Wilson also threw two interceptions and complet-ed just over 55 percent of his

passes.Receiver Cobi Ham-

ilton had 12 recep-tions for 146 yards, 33.5 yards higher than his per-game

average. No other re-

c e i v e r h a d

m o r e than three catches.

“I feel like I could always do better, with us losing. You can feel good about your num-bers, but you have to do better and focus on next week,”

Hamilton said.Running back Dennis John-

son had a big day, rushing for 161 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries.

“If they put the ball in my hands, I am going to do every-thing I can to win,” Johnson said.

“It feels good being out there. It feels good every time you step on the !eld. But my performance was good, but it wasn’t good enough to win,” Johnson said.

Wilson said he thinks the team has what it takes to move past this disappointing loss.

“We are just going to come out and battle hard next week,” Wilson said.

Arkansas will play Tulsa in Fayetteville next weekend for homecoming before going on the road to face South Caro-lina and Mississippi State and !nishing the season at home against LSU.

"e Razorbacks will have to win at least three of these games to get to the six wins needed for bowl eligibility.

“I’m not sure people are thinking about that,” Hamilton said. “For me personally, I am just trying to take it one game at a time. I am just trying to play whoever our opponent is that week. I want to focus on them

and try to beat them and go out and compete.”

"e Razorback volleyball team defeated the Missouri Ti-gers in three sets Sunday a#er-noon in Barnhill Arena.

"e Hogs improved to 18-6 on the season and 9-4 in the Southeastern Conference while the Tigers fell to 15-8 and 5-4 in the SEC.

“I thought we played really, really well today and the num-bers show that,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Not only did we play really well, but we played like a team.”

Arkansas ended the match with 45 kills to Missouri’s 33 and 41 digs to Missouri’s 30.

Junior Ashley Vazquez started at the setter position for the !rst time Sunday and end-ed the match with 38 assists.

“"e setter is like the quar-terback of the team and she is a great quarterback. We’ve known that for a long time; that’s why she’s here,” Pulliza said of Vazquez.

“We’re all always training hard,” Vazquez said. “You nev-er know when you’re going to have to step in for someone.”

Early in the !rst set, the Ra-zorbacks and the Tigers looked evenly matched. Arkansas started to pull away later in the set but Mizzou kept the game close all the way to the end. "e !nal score of the set was 25-23.

In the !rst set, the Tigers out-performed the Hogs in hit-ting percentage, ending with a .379 average compared to the Razorbacks with a .355 aver-age. "e Razorbacks had 12 digs to the Tigers’ 10 and the Hogs had 16 kills to the Tigers’ 13.

"e second and third sets were dominated by Arkansas. "e !nal score of the second was 25-13 and the !nal score of the third set was 25-15.

"e Hogs dramatically im-proved their hitting average to .593 in the second set but then dropped back down to a .286 in the third set.

“We knew going into this

that we only got one shot at beating Missouri, so we just worked and grinded,” senior Jasmine Norton said.

Norton, Amanda Ander-son and Roslandy Acosta, all of whom are seniors, each ac-counted for kills numbering in the double digits.

“We have seniors who are hungry,” Pulliza said. “"ey played hungry today, from be-ginning to end. "at guided us and drove us in terms of en-ergy and that was how we got it done.”

"e victory over Mizzou marks Arkansas’ fourth win in a row as the Razorbacks head into the !nal stretch of the sea-son.

“"ese last few games are huge, especially to us seniors,” Anderson said. “It’s our last chance to play in Barnhill; there’s nothing like playing in Barnhill.”

"e Razorbacks travel to Auburn, Ala.,Friday to play the Tigers before heading to Col-lege Station, Texas, Sunday to take on the Texas A&M Aggies.

Arkansas Defeats Mizzou in Straight Sets SundayVOLLEYBALL

"e Razorback men’s cross country team won its third straight Southeastern Conference championship, and the women’s cross coun-try team came in second place Friday in Nashville, Tenn.

"e championship is the Razorbacks’ 20th overall conference title since join-ing the SEC in 1991. "ree Razorbacks !nished in the top !ve with a 2-3-4 !n-ish from Solomon Haile, Eric Fernandez and Kemoy Campbell, respectively.

“We wanted to come in and make a statement,” head coach Chris Bucknam said.

“"e SEC Championship means a lot to our school. When you win an SEC title in any sport, it’s special, and I’m awfully proud of our guys for the e$ort they put in today and all the hard work they’ve done all year.”

Haile had the best time for the Razorbacks, !nish-ing the 8K race with a time of 23:47.27 and getting a second-place individual !nish. Fernandez followed

right behind with a third-place !nish and a time of 23:53.16. Campbell had a fourth-place !nish and a time of 23:55.38.

Haile, Fernandez and Campbell were all named to the All-SEC !rst team. Layne Nixon and freshman Cale Wallace were named to the All-SEC second team and Wallace, the top fresh-man runner in the race, was also named to the SEC All-Freshman team.

"e women’s team came in second place to the Flori-da Gators.

"e winner of Arkansas’ game, match one, will deter-mine who takes on No. 2 seed Texas A&M Wednesday.

"e second match features LSU, who !nished second in the tournament last year and Ole Miss, who did not compete in the tournament in 2011.

"e reigning SEC champi-on, Auburn (7-6-0), comes into the tournament seeded sixth and plays No. 3 seeded Ten-nessee (9-3-1) in match four Wednesday.

"e !rst seed went to Flor-ida, who only lost two of 13 games within the SEC this sea-son to Alabama and Kentucky. Alabama did not make it to the tournament, as Florida was only one of three SEC wins Ala-bama managed this season.

Florida beat Arkansas mid-way through the season in a 4-0 shutout. "e Gators have had

no trouble playing as a well-rounded team that does not rely heavily on certain players and are ranked No. 11 nation-ally.

Florida’s !rst tournament match is 5 p.m. Wednesday against the winner of the LSU and Ole Miss game.

Second seeded Texas A&M followed closely a#er Florida with 10 of 13 wins and one tie. Florida played a close game with the Aggies, only winning 2-1.

"e Aggies scored an aver-age of 2.15 goals per game and only allowed their opponents to score an average of .5 goals per game. With a shot percent-age of .115, Texas A&M comes into the tournament as a for-midable opponent to Florida’s .152 shot percentage.

"e third-seeded SEC team, Tennessee, earned an SEC re-cord of 9-3-1. Arkansas was one of the three losses the Vol-unteers faced this season, as the Hogs beat them 1-0.

"e Vols boast a .100 shot percentage, making 35 goals in the regular season. "ey have also forced their opponents to give up almost twice as many corner kicks as they have.

However, Tennessee has fouled more o#en than their opponents, leading to more yel-low cards –17 total out of 211 fouls – on their own team. "is could be Tennessee’s weakness

going into the tournament and something other teams would likely capitalize on.

Bringing up the last of the SEC tournament seeds are Ole Miss and South Carolina.

South Carolina, seed 10, takes on Arkansas in the !rst game of the tournament. "e last time the teams faced each other, the game ended in a 1-1 tie a#er two overtimes. Five of South Carolina’s games this season went into overtime and either ended in a tie or a loss.

"e Gamecocks’ only win over a team that made it to the tournament was against LSU, who is seeded eighth. "eir other two conference wins were over Alabama and Georgia.

"e Gamecocks’ shot per-centage is .080 and they have scored 18 goals out of 226 shots this season.

Seed nine, Ole Miss, won !ve SEC games this season, including their !rst SEC game against Arkansas. "ey also posted a win against Kentucky, who is seeded fourth.

With 43 goals scored on the whole season, the Rebels have a shot percentage of .136. "e Rebels score an average of 2.15 goals per game. However, they have allowed more corner kicks than they have received.
