Fences and construction equipment are visible on the north end of the Carnahan Quadrangle on Monday, July 7, 2014. The Mizzou Alumni Association began construction on an amphitheater, Traditions Plaza, on July 1.

MADDIE FOSTER Reporter The Mizzou Alumni Association has begun construction on an amphitheater called “Traditions Plaza” in honor of MU’s 175th anniversary.

“We’ve been searching for a project for two years,” the

association’s executive director Todd McCubbin said. “We wanted to find a project that would enhance campus while allowing some fundraising advantages for the Alumni Association. The proceeds from the project will (go toward) an endowment that supports (MU) traditions.”

Traditions Plaza is expected to seat between 750 and 1,000 people

and will be located on the north side of the Mel Carnahan Quadrangle, across from Jesse Hall.

“We hope it enhances the campus by taking a nice green space and providing a usable, programming space,” McCubbin said. “(The Missouri Students Association) and (the Department of Student Life) seem genuinely excited about the opportunities the amphitheater

presents.”

The amphitheater will have several uses including concerts, receptions and spirit rallies, as well as being a quiet place to study, McCubbin said.

“Students and student organizations are constantly jockeying for event space. I see

In conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Operation Cross Country VII, Columbia police officers arrested five individuals June 19 for promoting child prostitution.

Those arrested included Antionette Clark and Chelsey Hyde on suspicion of prostitution; Barry Manthe and Ebonie Brooks on suspicion of third-degree promoting prostitution; and Quenten Hurt on suspicion of third-degree promoting prostitution, possession of a controlled substance, and misdemeanor and felony state warrants.

“The main objective of the operation is to rescue juveniles that are basically being forced into child prostitution,” Kansas City FBI Public Affairs Officer Bridget Patton said.

“One of the results of this operation is recovering the juveniles out of the circle of dispensation, and in turn also executing arrests on some of

Cholesterol-lowering drug found effective against breast cancer

A revolutionary cholesterol-lowering cancer treatment has yielded promising results after being tested extensively on breast cancer tumors by MU researchers.

The researchers discovered the cholesterollowering drug, RO 48-8071, killed tumor cells by following a gut instinct. Cancer cells need cholesterol to multiply and some breast cancer treatments raise cholesterol levels, so they hoped lowering cholesterol would help treat cancer.

Salman Hyder, professor of biomedical sciences, said he and fellow researchers were surprised when they found the drug was killing tumor cells. “‘Why is it killing tumor cells?’” Hyder said.

“Not only does it shut down cholesterol, but what else is it doing?”

Two different types of testing were performed using the drug. The drug was first tested on individual human breast cancer cells outside of the body, in vitro. In addition, human breast cancer cells were injected into mice, where they could continue to grow. The treatment was then used on the mice to treat the cancer.

Through these tests, the MU researchers discovered the drug was destroying one of the major proteins involved with the estrogen receptors. This is significant because hormone-dependent breast cancer tumors require estrogen receptors to grow.

Another year MU purchases Missouri Theatre of record IFC recruitment ERICA BRAHAM Reporter

ANNA BRUGMANN Reporter

Prospective fraternity members descended on Greek town June 27-29 in record numbers for MU’s annual Interfraternity Council formal recruitment.

IFC welcomed 550 potential new members, up from last year’s 416 participants, IFC Vice President of Recruitment Joel Yeager said.

This is the third consecutive year of record registration. MU played host to what was then a record 363 men during IFC’s 2012 formal recruitment, and it has only gone up since then.

In order to adjust to the large increase in registration, a couple changes were made, mostly in order to allow adequate time for members and chapters to familiarize themselves with each other.

“As IFC Recruitment grows, we are constantly working to improve the process and make sure that formal recruitment serves both the chapters and the potential members,” Yeager said.

Prospective members, or rushees, arrived Friday. Soon after their arrival, they attended the Chapter Expo, an event which allows potential members to familiarize themselves with each of the 31 IFC chapters. This event was lengthened this year in order to accommodate for the increase in registration.

Following the Chapter Expo, rushees marked their top ten fraternities, and rated the remaining chapters 12-21.

The Missouri Theatre, located in downtown Columbia, is the latest addition to MU, the university announced last month by purchasing the building for $3.7 million.

This decision has been met with support, as it will not only save the school over $50 million in future construction costs, but also provide performance space for the upcoming

school year as Jesse Auditorium is being renovated.

MU had leased the Missouri Theatre for three years before the purchase due to a struggle for performance space between many departments and campus organizations, such as MU’s School of Music, the University Concert Series and the Missouri Student Association.

John Murray, director of event operations at MU, said the purchase

will allow the university to keep hosting regular events while Jesse Auditorium is closed.

“Between Jesse Auditorium and the Missouri Theatre, we do about 500 events a year,” Murray said. “We are very busy, and will be able to keep 200 to 300 events going with the theater while the Renew Mizzou project is going on.”

Inside departments For the Department of Student Life, which oversees nearly 1,500 student events and programs each year, these new policies will result in the loss of over $250,000 over four years, Director of Student Life Mark Lucas said.

Lucas said the department, which employs roughly 52 fulltime staff and 43 graduate assistants, has never seen a multi-year budget cut of this magnitude during his tenure, and that the reduced funds could challenge the department’s ability to “enhance the student experience.”

“We will have a great deal less money to provide programs and services to students … and you can’t make up a quarter of a million dollars by reducing photocopies or having eight pizzas instead of ten pizzas at a student event,” Lucas said. “So it’s bigger things that we will have to eliminate … It’s my job

According to the division’s Director of Fiscal Operations Alysha O’Neil, the general operation cuts for FY2015 will be evenly distributed between the five general operationsupported departments while the division plans for FY2016.

Other Student Affairs departments — Residential Life, the MU Student Recreation Complex, Campus Dining Services and the Mizzou Store — are not funded through the general operation budget and will not be impacted by the reduction.

O’Neil said the Division of Student Affairs will lose about $74,000 in general operation funds each year — nearly $300,000 over a four-year period — in addition to the self-funded salary and benefit

Bringing new faculty Roughly $162 million of the plan’s five-year budget would be used to hire “additional high-impact faculty and staff to enhance MU’s academic stature.”

At the UM System Board of Curators’ June 20 meeting, Loftin said that while the plan came almost $1 million under the initial first year budget of $55 million in FY2014, MU was able to make key faculty hires, such as John Boyer from Delaware University.

Loftin said hiring Boyer, who is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has helped increase the number of MU faculty that are in one of the national research academies to nine, and improve MU’s AAU metrics by 12.5 percent.

The plan’s goal is to hire six additional academy members to join MU’s faculty.

Missouri NAACP pushes to abolish state death penalty LUCILLE SHERMAN Reporter National attention has been drawn to the constitutionality of the death penalty due to the botched execution of Oklahoma inmate Clayton Lockett that took place in April.

After a period of seven weeks free of executions in the United States, three executions were scheduled in 24 hours last Tuesday, one of which took place in Missouri.

John Winfield, executed in Missouri on June 18, was the 75th person to be executed in the state of Missouri since 1976.

The Missouri chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has vowed to enact the largest-ever push for abolishment of the death penalty after Lockett’s execution and the recent acceleration in the rate of executions taking place in Missouri.

NAACP has historically opposed the death penalty and its core values lie in its mission that states “the mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.”

Thus, the Missouri NAACP plans on using more time and resources than ever before to rally in opposition of executions.

“There’s no way we can really decide what life has more value,” said Carmen Vajgrt, an MU freshman.

African-American defendants receive the death penalty three times more than white defendants,

according to a 2007 study conducted by the Yale University School of Law. NAACP has previously succeeded in advocating against the death penalty, especially in the case of Troy Davis, an inmate on death row in 2011 that the NAACP believed to be innocent.

Though Davis was executed, the NAACP brought attention to the issue of the constitutionality of the death penalty, and has additionally succeeded in abolishing the death penalty in several states.

Though the Missouri chapter of the NAACP has vowed to spend more time and resources than ever to rally against the death penalty, other organizations in the state of Missouri are working to fight against the death penalty as well.

Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (MADP) continually works against execution.

In the seven weeks following Lockett’s execution, there have been two executions in Missouri. One was halted; the other, Winfield’s, was carried out.

“Our goal is to always oppose the death penalty,” said Allison Grammer, the administrative coordinator for the MADP. “Clayton Lockett’s botched execution invigorated (our movement), but didn’t change the way we approach the death penalty.”

To fight against executions such as the last two, the MADP’s goal is to spread the word. They have written Gov. Jay Nixon, asking to hold all executions, particularly because of the secrecy concerning

the drugs used in executions. They additionally send out alerts and press releases, as well as encouraging the public to write the governor.

Rita Linhardt, senior staff associate for the Missouri Catholic Conference and chair of the MADP board, helps both organizations with lobbying, spreading the word and urging the public to contact the governor.

“There are many people who oppose the death penalty in the state of Missouri,” Linhardt said.

“For some, it’s a moral perspective.

They believe all life is sacred, even for those that have committed a great evil. Some see it as a human rights issue: people are entitled to their dignity. Some view it from a justice perspective: the death penalty is arbitrary and unfair. And

The Missouri National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is pushing for Missouri to abolish the death penalty in the state.

In a city filled with coffee shops, residents of Columbia will have a treat to complement their morning cup of joe starting this fall.

Michael Urban plans to open a craft doughnut shop, Harold’s Doughnuts, the weekend of Oct. 11.

Urban, founder and owner of Harold’s Doughnuts, named the business after his grandfather, who loved craft doughnuts.

“A ‘craft’ doughnut is one that is made using the freshest, madefrom-scratch ingredients,” Urban said. “Everything we do — right down to the sprinkles we use on our doughnuts — is made from scratch.”

No matter the flavor, everything is crafted by hand in the shop. This includes the marshmallows that will go in the fall s’mores doughnut.

“We're much different than chain doughnut shops that use pre-mixed dough and mechanized processes to create their doughnuts,” Urban said. “Our shop will be fresh, fun and energetic and allow customers of all ages a chance to experience the classic American pastry in an entirely new way.”

Some daily scratch doughnut options include sprinkles, traditional glazed, jelly-filled and maple bacon. Additionally, each season brings new flavors.

“Mid-Missouri is a place where one can enjoy four seasons,” Urban said. “Our tastes change along with the calendar.”

The current summer seasonal flavors include key lime pie, chai and chocolate chipotle. Yes, chipotle: a yeast-raised doughnut topped with a chocolate chipotle glaze, which includes high-end cocoa, cinnamon and ground chipotle pepper. Urban said it is “the perfect balance of sweetness and heat.”

In the fall, customers can choose from flavors like apple cider and s’mores. By offering different flavors along with the change of seasons, Urban said customers will get to enjoy new and unique creations of doughnuts throughout the year.

“Just like our daily menu, these doughnuts (are) made with the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients possible and crafted by hand by our bakery staff,” Urban said.

He said he thinks the store will fit nicely with the other local establishments in town. He said he hopes to create even more unique products by collaborating with other businesses and restaurants around Columbia.

When it comes down to it, Urban said Harold’s Doughnuts’ passion is simply to make people happy.

“There’s no greater joy than seeing people smile after they’ve eaten our doughnuts,” Urban said.

Can’t wait for Harold’s Doughnuts to open shop? Orders for delivery can be placed on their website at haroldsdoughnuts.com.

The operation began in 2003, and arrests have been somewhat of an annual occurrence.

“With this operation we had our largest success; we had the most juveniles recovered,” Patton said. ‘However, we also had greater participation across the nation.”

One hundred and sixtyseven juveniles were recovered nationwide, with two between the ages of 16 and 17 in the Kansas City Division. This division incorporates Kansas City, Topeka, Manhattan, and Wichita, Kansas. Also, Kansas City, Springfield, and Columbia, Missouri.

“Out of the 7 cities that we were in, we arrested 7 pimps and 26 johns,” Patton said.

So far, the charges are at the local and state levels, ranging from promoting to soliciting prostitution.

However, the ages of the children involved could lead to more charges.

“When it comes to juveniles they could run the risk of the charges going federal,” Patton said. “(The charges) could be human trafficking or a myriad of other areas depending on the age.”

Though some of the individuals law officials encounter are 18 or 19, for the most part they began at a much younger age.

However, the team has not begun testing the drug in patients with breast cancer yet.

in prostitution in many different ways,” Patton said. “I mean, no one wakes up and says ‘oh, today I think I’m going to go be a prostitute.’ It could be where they met someone on the Internet and they were enticed through there.”

The people who begin prostitution rings know what they are doing and are intelligent, Patton said.

“These pimps are master manipulators,” Patton said. “So you could have somebody that is out on the streets and here you have a pimp

that they think is caring for them, providing them a safe place to live.

Truly, what it is is a manipulation of that individual. They’re preying on them and putting them into this circle.”

Law enforcement has several tactics when it comes to locating these children, Patton said.

“We use a bunch of different techniques that could be anywhere from different sites on the Internet, to old-fashioned investigation, to intelligence gathering,” Patton said.

“And of course working with our

local and state partners through their vice squads, because they’re the ones that are out there every day.”

Both state and federal officials hope that these operations make a difference in helping to reduce child prostitution.

“We’re putting this out to the public and making them aware that child prostitution does exist, and is a problem,” Patton said. “If you are aware of child prostitution in your area, contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.”

cancer at this time.”

Chemotherapy is problematic due to the negative side effects, which range from losing hair to weakening the immune system.

The researchers’ goal is to combine the new drug with chemotherapy to reduce the concentration of the chemotherapy, making it less toxic.

“This is our aim: to see if we can combine (the new drug) with other commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs and see if we can lower the concentration, so that they can be taken easily by patients,” Hyder said.

Additionally, the cholesterollowering drug was found to cause no levels of toxicity in the mice, but it is unclear if side effects will affect patients taking the drug.

“We don’t know how this will

actually behave when it’s inside the human body,” Hyder said. “So that is why we need the phase one trial, which is actually done for safety reasons, with very low concentrations of this drug.”

Phase one trials are just one step on a long path to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

Hyder estimated the drug would take around eight to ten years to reach patients, if it is approved at all.

The drug needs the backing of doctors willing to do clinical trials to continue. However, Hyder said he has high hopes for the drug.

“Our hope is that once we continue this for a long time it will lead to a cure, but we cannot say that definitively at this time,” Hyder said.

In the meantime, their finding

that higher cholesterol leads to an increase in cancer-causing hormones suggests changes in diet can help lower the risk of cancer and may aid chemotherapy treatments.

“All the evidence now suggests that people who have lower cholesterol levels have a lower risk of cancer,” Hyder said.

In the future, cholesterol-based research could lead to a method of lowering the risk of cancer in high-risk patients and offer a less toxic treatment for those affected by cancer.

“If we can get a significant amount of funding, we will definitely test (prevention),” Liang said. “This also can be a project for graduate students to work on.”

(the amphitheater) as becoming a highlight of campus, allowing students to convene in a beautiful and convenient location," the Alumni Association’s Student Board President Bobby Hoffman said. "I am not aware of any specific future events planned for the plaza as of yet. However, I can definitely see it turning into a hotspot for student organization meetings, rallies, marketing, and so forth. I know (the student board) really looks forward to utilizing the plaza for some of our events."

Construction started around July 1 and is scheduled to be completed before the beginning of the fall semester.

As Jesse Hall will close for renovations, the new amphitheater is coming at an especially good time, Hoffman said.

"I know that student organizations have been concerned about the closing of Jesse Hall since the Renew Mizzou campaign was announced," Hoffman said. "While Traditions Plaza wasn't planned to directly offset some of the disadvantages of Jesse Auditorium's closing, it does appear to be very fortunate timing."

The Department of Student Activities is one of those organizations eager to plan events at the new amphitheater, the department’s director Chelsea Fricker said.

“Having another outdoor programming space on campus will be great for (us),” she said. “The setup of the plaza will be a really unique place for us to present speakers, comedians, poets, etc. for the rest of campus. The plaza will be an amazing addition to our campus and I think it will provide a wonderful opportunity for us to program more outdoor events.”

However, the main reason behind constructing the amphitheater is not entertainment; it is tradition, McCubbin said, and that is how Traditions Plaza earned its name. “(MU) is such a tradition-rich campus and this amphitheater is going to celebrate those traditions, whether it’s Homecoming or Tiger Walk,” McCubbin said.“It’ll be a place for MU students past and present to gather and leave their mark on the school.”

Students and alumni can purchase bricks with their names engraved to become a part of the plaza.

Current MU students and recent graduates can purchase a brick for $175, in honor of the anniversary year.

These bricks will help pay for the construction, which is expected to cost around $1.2 million.

“We have done brick sales in the past, like for the legacy walk, and they have proved successful,” McCubbin said.

Overall, McCubbin said he believes faculty and students will be excited for this new addition to MU. “Our Governing Board is excited to fund this project. One of our strategic goals is to enhance the (MU) Experience and we think Traditions Plaza can do that...Our hope is that Traditions Plaza will enhance the student experience," said McCubbin, “whether that be through events like concerts/performances/spirit rallies, or the dynamic way the Plaza will celebrate/educate about Mizzou traditions, or hopefully adding to the beauty of campus.”

The MU Formula SAE Team is comprised of 20 members who work up to 40 hours a week.

The team recently placed 19th out of 120 at a competition in Detroit, Michigan.

Formula SAE team builds and races its own cars CRYSTAL DUAN Senior Staff Writer During the school year, the 20 students on the MU Formula SAE team work up to 40 hours a week — their task is to design and build a vehicle that would make any race car enthusiast proud.

Operating out of Room 131 in Engineering Building West, the team prepares for the summer competition season, applying skills learned from engineering classes and hands-on experiences.

Once they complete their car, the team races in Detroit, Michigan and Lincoln, Nebraska during the summer months. The competitions are linked to the national professional car design organization, SAE International (formerly known as Society of Automotive Engineers).

This year, their efforts paid off.

The Formula SAE team placed 19th in Detroit, advancing them to the competition in Lincoln, where they placed 13th.

“At Michigan there are 100 to

120 universities, and in Nebraska there are 80 to 90 teams,” team member and senior Rory Hourihan said. “There’s about 450 universities that do this worldwide.”

The worldwide network has competitions in locations such as China and Germany, where outrageous designs are prominent.

But when the MU SAE team prepares to compete domestically each year, it needs to ensure its efforts reflect a more modest, consumer-friendly design.

“We try to design as much as we can before we start building,” Hourihan said. “That will take maybe three months or so, and the rest of the six months are spent building and wrapping up smaller designs.”

The majority of the team are mechanical or electrical engineering students, although the 2014 - 2015 Formula SAE president and senior Lauren Wertz is an industrial engineer.

But being an engineer isn’t a requirement, Wertz said.

“You don’t just need engineers,” she said. “You need people who are

hands on-and willing to work hard and willing to learn. I’d like to think our group is a small business — you’re managing your own money, time and you have a target market we’re supposed to design toward.”

Regardless of who’s dealing with machinery and parts or who’s working with wiring and data input and acquisition, everything is done by the team’s own strength.

When the team members meet each week, they split up to plan out different departments — teams in of themselves — for each part of the car: aerodynamics, suspension, powertrain, drivetrain, chassis, cockpit, safety and controls, and electronics and data acquisition.

The team uses SolidWorks, a 3-D modeling design program, to draw the car out and analyze how a potential structure could hold up.

The design is built off of concepts acquired from classes. But the team also builds off the successes and failures of previous designs, Wertz said.

When the cars are tested in “dynamic” events, teams race their vehicles around tracks, testing

aspects such as the acceleration and endurance of the vehicles.

If the Formula SAE team observes any issues, such as possible overheating or a need to drop weight off the car, they will take them into account for the following year.

“We work every year based off our old design and trying to improve it,” Wertz said. “Usually we’ll make a goal at the beginning of the year: What are the main things we would like to improve?”

2013 - 2014 Formula SAE president and recent graduate Jacob Brown said that last year the team competed with a car that was built based off little experience.

After the team assessed needs of simplicity and changes in aerodynamics and made changes accordingly, the newly designed car was more successful.

“In 2014 we ended up with a car that was much cleaner than the year before,” Brown said. “We used many interchangeable parts throughout the vehicle to speed up manufacturing time and reduce the number of different parts on the car. Once we redesigned the overall

package, or as I like to call it, the base, bare bones, or foundation, we were able to focus on details of sub systems.”

The team doesn’t just need to go off of observations from previous years. It also has feedback and advice from people at the competitions.

At the competition, engineers from the actual automotive industry question the teams on the designs of their cars during “static” events, giving feedback that goes into making the car more cost-efficient, or ultimately more efficient overall.

Additional lessons learned from other teams also help, Wertz said.

“The great thing about competition is you have 120 teams who all have a common goal through what we’ve been working on all year,” she said. “It’s a great collaborative thing to talk to all of these teams and see what about their cars is cool or cutting edge, (if it’s) something we should look into… and see if we can add it to our car. It’s a once in a lifetime experience to collaborate with this many students from around the world who share the same interests."

MU graduate makes a difference with intimate apparel SARAH WYNN Staff Writer MU alumna Hayley Besheer had already made her mark on the world with her company, Make a Difference Intimate Apparel (MADI). The startup company, founded by Besheer in 2011, donates underwear to women in third-world countries, women’s shelters and victims of natural disasters.

“When I was near graduating from Mizzou, I found out that underwear was under-donated; I hadn’t heard that before, and thought it was important,” she said.

After graduating, the idea was always at the back of Besheer’s mind.

“I talked with a friend and thought the idea of TOMS shoes was a cool idea — the buying a pair and giving one away — and thought it was an awesome way to give back,” Besheer said.

MADI gained notable attention on the start-up crowdsourcing

website Indiegogo. There, Besheer posted videos calling attention to the need for underwear donations.

MADI sells six different styles of underwear and donates a modest pair.

Currently, if they reach their Indiegogo goal of $7000 by mid July, MADI will manufacture underwear in cherry red. If they surpass their goal, they will also make pairs in a grey/nude color and a blue color.

MADI has not yet finalized the cost, but it should be around $25 to $28 per pair.

Pam Besheer, Hayley’s mom, is in charge of the marketing and public relations for MADI. “The reason for the expense is because they are made in the U.S., which costs more to manufacture,” Pam Besheer said.

The underwear is manufactured in Hemingway, South Carolina.

“It took two years to find who would produce the underwear in the U.S., because so many companies ship offshore and a lot

of U.S. businesses have gone out of business,” Pam Besheer said.

When you buy a pair, you are donating a pair to someone in need, which contributes to the expense.

The underwear is made of a high quality material that is organically sustainable and environmentally stable.

In developing countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where sexual violence is common, the MADI website says owning a pair can “create a social barrier for women-symbolizing a sense of wealth, independence, and power, protect women from sexual violence, provide strength and confidence, and many young women in developing countries aren’t allowed to attend school during their menstrual cycles, missing 4 or 5 days of school every month of the year.”

The underwear is made from bamboo. Bamboo is organically sustainable, odor-resistant, and dries quickly, suitable for women

who must hang-dry their clothes.

MADI plans to donate to shelters all over the world, including Columbia, Daytona Beach, Florida and Kansas City. MADI also plans to donate to Love-N-Care Ministries International, which works primarily in India with orphan shelters.

Pam Besheer said MADI also hopes to donate in times of need, such as instances of tornadoes or hurricanes.

Janee Hanzlick, executive director at SAFEHOME, Support for Survivors of Domestic Violence, has received donations from MADI. SAFEHOME is based right outside of Kansas City and serves victims throughout the Kansas City metro area.

“Underwear is generally one of the least donated items; most people don’t think about underwear,” Hanzlick said. “We are very grateful from the people at MADI for undertaking this creative, much needed approach to helping victims of domestic violence and providing

those in need their basic dignity at shelters.”

MADI hopes to partner with large organizations in the future, and has already started with the Salvation Army Harbor House in Columbia. They also hope to enter into retail stores and grow their team.

“The more we grow, the more people we can reach and the more countries we can donate to,” Hayley Besheer said. “We’re excited to spread awareness for the need for underwear for women, spread confidence to women and make this a bigger deal.”

Hayley Besheer recently returned to MU to talk to her sorority, Kappa Delta, to promote MADI. She is planning to come back on her college tour either in late fall or winter.

“Since starting our fundraiser, we have been able to sell our products and get people more excited about giving back,” Hayley Besheer said.

“Don’t be scared to start something on your own.”

The estimated cost of this facility was $97 million.

By purchasing the Missouri Theatre, MU will be able to make significant changes by providing more space while saving an estimated $57.8 million in future construction costs.

Along with these numbers, MU’s aspect of tradition was perpetuated through the purchase of the Missouri

Keeping these lists in mind, Rho Gammas, who are essentially IFC recruitment camp counselors, scheduled visits for Saturday to the 10 chapters recruitment rushees showed most interest in.

By stationing themselves around campus, the Rho Gammas’ objective was to streamline the recruitment process for rushees.

“We were there as a resource to both make sure they were where they were supposed to be and as a resource to answer any questions they may have had about Greek Life,” Austin Evans, a 2014 IFC Rho Gamma and Sigma Nu member, said.

In order to schedule a visit with a fraternity, rushees had to be invited, but most were allowed visits to all 10 chapters they declared interest in due to the brevity of their initial meetings, Evans said.

On Saturday, the process repeated itself on a smaller scale as potential members visited each

Continued from page 5 at MU. At Ramapo College, she mentored a student named Yovanna Garcia. Garcia said she is confident in Rivera’s ability to adapt to a new campus, and make a difference.

“I see her fitting in perfectly,” Garcia said. “She does a good job of supporting people.”

Garcia said she also feels that the transition to a larger university will be easy for Rivera.

“At a larger institution, she’ll have more resources,” she said.

“She’s such an incredible, passionate person. She does the work of 40 other people.”

Garcia said Rivera’s passion is evident when she talks about her goals as coordinator for the center.

Rivera said her first goal is to not impose her own vision. She said that she’s also extremely excited to hear about the visions held by MU students about the center.

Rivera, however, said she wants the community of MU to have more understanding of multiculturalism and culture in general.

“In a society that is ever changing, people need to know how to adapt

THE MANEATER | NEWS | JULY 9, 2014 Theatre. Being built in 1928 on the land of G.D. Foote, builder of Academic Hall at MU, and being Missouri’s only remaining pre-Depression movie palace and vaudeville stage, the Missouri Theatre carries much sentimental and historical value.

Lili Vianello, board president of the Missouri Symphony Society, said the Missouri Theatre is important to the people of Columbia.

“Many people have attended performances and seen movies throughout the years at the Missouri Theatre,” Vianello said. “I have talked to many people who have had their first date there and their first kiss on the balcony. It has a lot of sentimental value for our community.”

In 1987, the Missouri Symphony Society purchased the Missouri Theatre and put

$12 million toward a muchneeded renovation. Instead of allowing this historical landmark to become a parking lot, the society allowed for the Missouri Theatre to remain standing, and be put to use in the way that was originally intended.

Over the years, the Missouri Symphony Society managed the maintenance and day-today operations of the Missouri Theatre. This dedication to management came with a lack of availability in furthering the original mission of the Missouri Symphony Society.

“Finding an organization like the University of Missouri that is better suited to maintain and manage the theater allows us to refocus on our primary mission, which is the music,” Vianello said.

of their preferred chapters. These visits were lengthened to one hour in order to allow the increased number of registrants adequate time to familiarize themselves with their prospective chapters.

Similar to the Chapter Expo, rushees selected their top four of the 10 fraternities visited, and rated the remaining five to 10.

Depending if they were invited, rushees revisited their preferred fraternities Sunday.

Later that evening, each rushee met with their Gamma Rho, who informed rushees which chapters had expressed interest in their membership.

Although IFC formal recruitment is a major event that has experienced increased popularity in recent years, it is not the only means to gain Greek membership at MU. For example, Daniel Moser joined Delta Chi informally after interacting with other members in his classes.

Moser said the benefits of membership include opportunities for campus involvement and forging lasting friendships. He went on to rush fall 2013, and was initiated into Delta Chi in

November 2013.

“Being initiated into a fraternity and forming such a brotherhood has more to offer than what most stereotype it to be. Campus involvement, Homecoming, new friends, or as my Delta Chi brother Brian Reamer would say, ‘It’s all about the networking,'” Moser said.

Despite his informal recruitment process and later initiation, Moser said he still advises those interested in Greek membership to participate in formal recruitment their freshman year.

“I would recommend to every guy rushing to do it freshman year.

Your classes are the easiest they’ll ever be and you’re in the dorms with other fraternity guys,” Moser said. “It’ll make pledgeship much more manageable and enjoyable.”

However, according to Moser, whether gaining membership formally or informally, the outcome is same.

“Being a part of an organization that is always there for you in times of triumph and misfortune is a true blessing and honor to have,” Moser said.

and understand,” Rivera said.

Rivera said she believes in the strength of education, and that it can make a huge difference in society’s perspective of the community around them. She said she plans to make education a large component in her mentoring as the MCC coordinator.

“Centers (like the MCC) are really important because they educate communities,” Rivera said.

Garcia said Rivera involved herself deeply in the community at Ramapo College, and that her passion for diversity goes outside of work and doesn’t end when she clocks out.

“She goes to events after hours and takes her work home with her every day,” Garcia said.

Rivera said she works hard for diversity, on whatever college campus she is at, and said that her own personal identity has influenced how she appears in her community.

Rivera hails from New Jersey; however, she said her immediate family lives all over. She said she visited her family in Puerto Rico twice last year and intends to travel there during Christmas.

One of the things Rivera said she has noticed about the Midwest is how things also move a little slower

here.

She said she saw many differences between living in New Jersey and living in Missouri.

“People take time with you here,” she said. “People in New Jersey are moving fast.”

However, despite the differences in the two states, Rivera said the challenges are all the same.

“People don’t expect me to be eloquent in my speech or knowledgeable because of my race and gender,” Rivera said. “The world is very gendered and raced.”

Rivera said she wants people at MU to have a better understanding of culture and she feels that education is a way to enact positive change in the world.

Beyond her academic and professional passions, though, Rivera enjoys getting together with friends and seeing her godchildren grow up.

Rivera said she is also an avid organizer and has a healthy enthusiasm for cleanliness. She said that being in Missouri before she started work at the center gave her time to organize and unpack.

“It’s been a great rush organizing every day,” Rivera said.

She said she plans to use her skills at organization to create an inclusive atmosphere in the center.

option, after all.

MU Spokesman Christian Basi said MU hopes to begin demolishing the facility by midJuly or early August, and has requested bids from private contractors to remove asbestos from the buildings and demolish the facility.

On June 19, MU revealed the list of 10 bids received, which range in cost from nearly $379,000 to over $1.5 million.

Basi said MU hopes to choose the contractor that can “fulfill all of the obligations, while giving (MU) the best price,” but no decision has been made at this time.

In order to allow University Village residents ample time to find new places to live, Basi said, the residents were given the option to leave before their lease expired without penalty.

Basi said MU had also worked to help the displaced residents find new places to live.

“We worked with the students to help them find comparable space that they need,” he said. “We worked to see if we had available vacancies within our apartments on campus, such as Manor House, Tara Apartments and University Heights. (Some students) were able to use residence hall rooms.”

The Office of Off-Campus Student Services also has provided consultations to help narrow down housing options for students who were unable to find accommodations on campus, OffCampus Programs Coordinator Dionne George said.

However, the Graduate and Professional Council drafted a report in April, based on the findings from an open forum on housing for graduate and professional students, and concluded that finding affordable, quiet housing near campus could still be “problematic” for many graduate students.

George said in the report that there are only about 30 apartments in Columbia that are “suitable for graduate students,” between 1 to 5 miles from campus. George also said the average cost for two bedroom apartments, which many graduate students with families seek to rent, is about $600 per month.

GPC President Hallie Thompson said that providing affordable on-campus housing that is geared toward graduate and professional students would not only benefit those students with little money and no reliable way of commuting to campus, but also bear fruit for MU’s recruiting efforts.

“I think (the lack of on-campus housing) could impact certain graduate students … those without a reliable form of transportation,” she said. “A graduate student who is used to living near campus and wants that may decide not to come here because of that. Some graduate students have families, and to have that kind of housing on campus would be a huge recruitment tool.”

Thompson said that because many graduate and professional students have children, replacing the Student Parent Center, which was located in University Village, would be also be important.

“For the GPC, it’s overwhelmingly clear that there are a number of families who have been using the SPC and they have

voiced the fact that it is a necessity to their lives during the open forum,” she said.

Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin announced in May that MU will explore the possibility of replacing the SPC by providing land to a private developer to construct and operate a new child care facility.

Thompson said that at this time, the GPC has no stance on how the SPC is replaced, as long as the new facility meets the needs of graduate and professional students.

“The only things we currently have a stance on are the things that matter the most to graduate and professional students, which are having a flexible enough schedule, having a reasonable proximity to campus and keeping the cost within a reasonable range,” she said.

GPC’s General Assembly passed two resolutions in April, urging university administrators to fully explore options for replacing the SPC and University Village.

While some progress has been made in trying to replace the on-campus child care facility, plans for graduate housing have not yet been developed.

Department of Residential Life Director Frankie Minor said there are no plans to replace University Village or build over the lot at this time.

Manor House, another on-campus apartment complex focused on housing graduate students, was initially slated to close in May 2015 for renovations, but the plan has since been postponed while various options for renovating the facility are reviewed, Minor said.

One option is to renovate the complex as an apartment building.

If this plan were taken, new fire code regulations for a building of this type would require that an extra exit stairway be built, which would actually “reduce the overall capacity,” Minor said, resulting in a building with 23 studio, 48 one-bedroom and 8 two-bedroom apartments at an estimated cost of over $8.6 million.

Another option is to renovate the building as a residence hall and potentially gearing it toward upperclassmen, with the hopes of attracting more graduate students to the facility.

Renovating Manor House as a residence hall would cost over $8.8 million to create 210 beds, and could generate up to about $1.4 million in revenue for the selffunded department annually.

If renovated as a residence hall, Manor House would accommodate third and fourth year undergraduate students, and try to attract more graduate students as well, Minor said.

Minor said renovations for Manor House and other possible options for graduate student housing facilities would be discussed throughout the summer and the fall semester.

“There will be some serious conversations about which options will better serve the long-term needs of (MU),” he said. “Whether the university will take on any additional graduate housing or enter a public-private partnership, it’s too early for us to determine which direction we are going in.”

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION EDITORIALS REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OPINION OF THE MANEATER EDITORIAL BOARD

It’s time to Finances too tight for MU to break the ice BENJAMIN BROWN With Summer Welcome in full swing and the fall semester fast approaching, I can’t help but remember my first encounters with Mizzou.

I woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for Summer Welcome, met my leader and group, and then we played ice-breaking games. When I reported for marching band camp in midAugust, I met my section leaders and fellow trombonists, and then we played ice-breaking games. On the first day of class, I went to my 8 a.m., introduced myself, and said an interesting fact about myself. Then I went to my 11 a.m., introduced myself, and said the same interesting fact about myself. Then I went to my FIG class at noon where we played an ice-breaking game.

Although I was skeptical at first, I will forever be grateful for these ice-breaking games. Here I was, an 18-year-old kid who thought he knew how to make friends, being proven wrong by ice-breaking games. Up until this point in my life, I had always relied on bonding with others over similar interests or ideas to make friends.

Although it was a somewhat effective process, it was time-consuming and emotionally exhausting to become genuinely interested and invested in another person. But I never thought there would be a better way to attain friendship.

That is, until I came to Summer Welcome.

We were all sitting down in the grass, and I thought to myself, “It is going to take forever to learn everyone’s name and interests.

I’ll probably have to participate in two (or maybe even three) activities with each of them before I really get to know them.”

Little did I know, my life was about to be changed forever.

My leader addressed us: “Ok, let’s go around the circle and say our names, where we’re from, and an interesting fact about ourselves.”

“My name is Cassie, I’m from Chicago, and I was a cheerleader in high school,” the first girl replied.

“She seems really cool. I better align myself with her,” I thought to myself.

“Hi, my name is Jake, I’m from Kansas City, and I have read every Game of Thrones book.” the next kid said.

“Oh wow—what a nerd! Ha, never talking to that kid again,” I silently decided.

“My name is Allie, I’m from here in Columbia, and I am a runner,” the next girl stated.

“Hmm… she looks like she is in pretty good shape. I probably shouldn’t hang out with her; I don’t want her judging me for my soft, fleshy physique,” I decided.

And then I realized how much time I had saved getting to know these three people. Normally, I would have wasted time asking them questions like, “What kind of music do you like?” or “Who is your favorite superhero and why is it Batman?”

But now, I didn’t have to. Finally, I was presented with a streamlined approach to friendship.

Throughout the first month of college, it seemed like I played a new ice-breaking game every day. My favorite game that I played was in FIG class: Two Truths and a Lie. Never before had I thought to try and make friends based off of my ability to tell if someone was lying! What an ingenious idea!

I have these ice-breaking games to thank for almost all of the friends I have made in college. My one piece of advice for incoming freshmen is this: Take the ice-breaking games very seriously. If you do well in them, you will be rewarded with friends, but if you do poorly, you will have a tough time in college. No pressure.

chase expensive prestige

On July 1, every department at MU, except the scholarship and campus safety budgets, received 2 percent less in general operating funds, or money raised from tuition and state funding. These funds will be reallocated annually for the next four years to fund the MU Strategic Operating Plan, a program with several goals intending to “enhance (MU’s) academic stature,” such as hiring prestigious faculty and improving research resources.

On July 3, Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin also announced that all of the departments on campus will need to give back additional funds to the MU central budget because $3.8 million in state funds are being withheld. These budget cuts are independent from the budget reallocations mentioned earlier.

First of all, we think that it’s great that MU wants to enhance its academic stature. Raising the bar for the students and for yourself is always a good choice, and we’re glad that you want this to happen. It benefits the school and the students alike. But is now really the time to be doing this?

The $3.8 million cut will take money from every department within the university. Nearly 25 percent of the cuts will come from the Division

of Student Affairs, which oversees several key aspects of student life at MU, such as the departments of Residential Life and Student Life, Campus Dining Services and The Mizzou Store, just to name a few.

The MU strategic operating plan cuts will take money from areas receiving general operating funds.

While the plan’s budget reallocations are a good idea, they are unnecessary at this point. With $3.8 million in budget cuts from the state, which cannot be helped by the university, it makes little to no sense to continue slashing the budgets. We think that this plan can be put on hold for a year or two in order to help the university deal with the upcoming budget cuts.

We realize that MU wants to enact this plan as quickly as possible in order to maintain our place in the Association of American Universities, a nonprofit association of the top 62 research universities in the U.S. and Canada. But at what cost?

By causing more unnecessary budget reallocations, the university is setting a rather unsettling standard.

This series of budget reallocations in the face of a $3.8 million state funding cut says that MU cares more about preserving a reputation that the

school maintains than the students who are enrolled there. These cuts affect students and faculty alike, and MU is set on continuing their plan.

What real consequence does being dropped from the AAU have? Is retaining one more bragging right really worth cutting funding from almost every department of the university? How does a university’s membership in the AAU benefit a student’s studies or experience at MU? The AAU didn’t even make an announcement when they ousted the University of Nebraska-Lincoln three years ago! It seems to us like losing our AAU membership has few practical repercussions, while these budget reallocations in order to maintain our membership status directly affect the students and faculty.

The university should realize that with the loss in state funding the university is facing, creating more cuts is wholly unnecessary.

Wait until we’ve handled the state funding cuts, and then focus on the strategic operating plan reallocations. The university’s focus should be on helping students instead of preserving its prestige.

Besides, it can’t be that great if Kansas is in it.

A warning to the Oklahoma Sooners Dear University of Oklahoma, We get it; he’s cute, he’s athletic, and he’s exactly what you think you need right now. You signed Dorial Green-Beckham, our former wide receiver, to your roster, and who could blame you? Who wouldn’t want him?

Well, we don’t. And we think that you know why.

According to NCAA rules, you need MU to sign a waiver allowing Green-Beckham to play next season instead of sitting for a year. If the school decides to sign the waiver, Oklahoma, we want you to realize what you’re getting yourself into.

To be honest, Green-Beckham’s past is sketchy, to say the least. He has twice found himself in trouble with the law for marijuana, and he recently was accused of allegedly forcing his way into an apartment and assaulting an 18-year-old woman.

He was suspended from our team more than once, and he’s recently been dismissed from our team.

We would like to think that everyone deserves a second chance,

and we certainly hope that he has changed since these last set of accusations. But seriously, if he did something bad enough to get cut from the team altogether, shouldn’t that be a sign that maybe he’s not the kind of player that you want on your team? The whole reason that we cut him from the team was so that he could be punished for what he did, and you’re just offering him a way out of that punishment.

What does all of this say about you?

Why do you want to be a part of this?

It seems like you just want him so that you can improve your team and, in turn, improve your reputation.

He’s doing this so that he can get into the NFL draft as soon as possible.

You are both using each other for your own personal gain. In what way is that a healthy relationship?

But hey, at least you’re not perpetuating a culture of indifference towards a player’s personal life. Our society doesn’t care what a player does off of the field, so long as they can perform on the field. Michael Vick’s dogfighting crimes; Leonard

Little’s vehicular manslaughter accusations; and even Ray Lewis’ murder accusations seemingly mean nothing to the professional teams that they play for simply because of their physical abilities. But letting a man accused of assaulting a woman and with two previous arrests for marijuana possession on his record play on your college team is totally different. … Right?

Look, we understand: winning is the absolute, unquestioned, number one, undeniably most important thing to worry about. Frankly, nothing else should matter to you.

If you think that Green-Beckham is going to help you win more games, then why shouldn’t you sign him?

We don’t want to see you get hurt like we did. If you allow GreenBeckham to play for you, you’re just going to use each other until you’ve got nothing left to use.

The key to your entertainment

The quarterly Artrageous Fridays event will be held in Columbia on July 18. The event will feature a series of exhibits at many Columbia venues.

A trend with Quarterly events unite North Village benefits EM DONALD Reporter

ANGIE ANDERA ‘Tis the season for beaches, boats, brunches and barbecues. But after all the beaching and boating is over, you’ll actually need to cover up that swimsuit and show some serious love to your sandals and sundresses.

I don’t know about you, but over half of my closet consists of Little Black Dresses. And as difficult as it is to say no, the last thing I want to wear on a hot summer day is one of my heat-absorbing (albeit adorable) black dresses. (Just call it my Holly Golightly paradox).

Thankfully, the Little White Dress is summer’s perfect answer to the LBD. A lightweight white dress will help you stay cool and comfortable while still looking hot. No matter where you go or what you do, a LWD will stylishly suit _almost_ any occasion.

(Warning: Do not, I repeat, do not wear a LWD to your second cousin’s best friend’s sister’s wedding. There will be blowback.)

When things heat up, it’s time to lighten up.

Swapping out my darker shaded clothes for lighter shaded ones is practically a fashion ritual for me.

Summer is the prime time to start amping up your wardrobe by wearing white. It highlights even the slightest hint of a tan, makes you stand out in a crowd and keeps you looking cool no matter how high the temperature climbs.

Best of all, a flowing white frock almost always gives off a bohemian chic vibe — my absolute favorite summer trend. Try pairing a lacy white chiffon dress with vintage earrings and a tribal statement necklace

If you’re in town and looking for a way to add some artistic culture into your life, Columbia has multiple opportunities throughout the summer to experience both local and imported talent to sate your appetite.

One continually expanding event is the quarterly Artrageous Fridays art crawl. Hosted in bustling downtown Columbia, Artrageous Fridays offers opportunities for novice and advanced art appreciators, or even people just looking to contribute and expand their involvement within the community.

These one-day events have artists

and performers of all stripes, making it the perfect fit for all Columbians.

The series’s executive director, Kate Gunn, has high hopes for this summer’s event, as more and more local businesses become involved.

MOVE’s guide to summer reading

ICYMI

Selfies give instant gratification, take away memories ELLIE PAPADAKIS I’m just going to put this out there: I don’t understand selfies.

Don’t get me wrong, I like being in pictures, and I use Instagram just as much as the next person, but selfies feel like some abstract form of Internet art. To take a “true” selfie it looks like there are three rules: 1. You have to take it yourself 2. You can be the only person in the photo 3. It has to be from a weird angle, which also happens to be your most flattering angle.

I’m all for posting photos online, and sharing where I am and what I’m doing visually, but selfies don’t really give you any of that. For me, I would rather see a picture of the beach than a phone-camera photo of a person with wet hair. I would rather see a group picture of a bunch of friends on a boat than a weirdly cropped photo with the faces too close to the camera.

Because after all, isn’t photography a way to freeze memories?

Isn’t it better to fill the storage space on our phones with group photos and landscape pictures of the places we’ve been than our “OOTD” and perfectly-even eyeliner?

I think so.

But people want instant gratification and selfies are a way to get that. It’s so easy to post a pretty photo on Facebook and ask people to tell you that you look nice. That’s OK, sometimes, because if we’re being completely honest, who doesn’t want to be complimented by their friends?

It starts to become a problem, however, if it’s done excessively.

Recently, a few articles surfaced online reporting the American Psychiatric Association had classified “selfitis” as a mental disorder. It turned out that this was completely untrue. It was a hoax started by a few disreputable websites.

That said, maybe those articles speak to our need to be liked — literally — by others. Has my generation become so shallow and self-conscious that we need the constant approval of others to tell us we look nice? Have we been influenced so much by Hollywood tabloids to think that the only pictures we can take are the ones where we have to look like an A-lister?

I hope not.

And, yeah, it’s awesome that we can instantaneously share where we are in the world, what we’re doing, and how we’re dressed, but I think that sometimes it’s good to have a little privacy, too. Sometimes it’s better to hold off on the instant gratification of posting a photo online and getting likes and comments about it right away.

Maybe next time you go out, instead of posting a “getting ready selfie,” don’t do it and instead, let people tell you how awesome you look in real life.

Not only will your friends really mean it, but it’ll probably make you feel like a thousand bucks, too.

CLAUDIA GUTHRIE News Editor Summer is a time for relaxing and taking it easy between jam-packed semesters — and what better way to spend your downtime than lying out with a good book? Here are five books for summer reading that you won’t be able to put down: 1. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky We all feel like a wallflower sometimes, which is what makes Stephen Chbosky’s novel so poignant. The coming-of-age story is told through a series of letters Charlie writes about his freshman year of high school.

A group of seniors invite him into their friend group, where he discovers first love, sex and drugs, and comes to terms with a childhood trauma. Charlie is lovable from the first sentence: “Dear friend, I am writing to you because she says you listen and understand and didn’t try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have.”

2. “It” by Stephen King This is my favorite book from my favorite author. It’s the story of seven friends, terrorized by a being who takes on the form of their worst nightmare and feeds on children. The story is told through two alternating narratives; during childhood and adulthood. Though, at over 1,000 pages, reading it is a bit of a feat. I promise, it’s totally worth it — but if you’re not feeling up to tackling something so big, give “Christine” or “The Shining” a go instead.

3. “The Princess Bride”

by William Goldman Goldman’s book contains all the laughs, action and romance of the movie and then some. It’s filled confessions of love such as “’That’s all you need? Easy. I love you. Okay? Want it louder?

I love you. Spell it out, should I? I ell-oh-vee-ee why-oh-you.

Want it backward? You love I.’“ that hopeless romantics like myself will eat up. Seriously, how could anyone not love this book?

13

4. “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer Have you ever wanted to burn all of your money, break away from society and hoof it around North America? “Into the Wild” is the true story of Chris McCandless, who did just that. The book follows McCandless’s two-year journey on the road, which ultimately resulted with his death in the Alaskan wilderness.

5. “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien “The Things They Carried” is more than a book about the Vietnam War; it’s about the men who fought. It’s about both the tangibles (mine detectors, medical kits, love letters, Bibles) and intangibles (love, humanity, memories, posttraumatic stress disorder) the soldiers carried in the jungle and through their lives out of the war zone. This novel has beautiful lines and heartbreaking stories that will make you bawl like a baby upon reading. PSA: don’t read this in public.

“We call it ‘sweat-folk.’”

NINA RUHE Reporter

When you think of folk music, you probably think of low-key foottapping music instead of rocking out or rave music.

Think again. “(I) call it sweat folk,” Alex Smith says.

New York bred-Smith is signed with Wepecket Island Records and tours as both a solo artist and with his band, The Mountain Sound.

The band will be performing at The Bridge on July 23.

The band definitely has a

bluegrass style, but with a different approach. The Mountain Sound is a non-traditional, high energy bluegrass.

Smith’s new album is inspired by his life growing up in the Adirondacks and what his hometown is like now.

His family was the biggest influence on his musical career.

“Music is a part of every family event. I almost didn’t have a choice,” Smith says when describing how he started his musical career.

The new album is named after the county Smith grew up in, Hamilton County.

“This new album is a bit dark

and representative of the times up in the Adirondacks,” Smith says.

“It’s a semi-impoverished area, times are changing and people are figuring out a way to make a living when times are changing.”

Even though some of his new songs are a little darker, he still plans to keep that “sweat-folk” title by connecting with the audience.

Even though his music is about life in New York, Smith hopes people everywhere can understand the messages and connect with it.

Those going to the concert in late July can expect a lot of energy, a good time and great music.

Songs ART of summer

Continued from page 11

MADDI DOERING Reporter

Whether you’re at the beach, pool or on a roadtrip, you’re gonna need a sick playlist. Allow us to help. Below are five MOVE-approved tracks for wherever your summer takes you.

1. “Problem” by Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea This song’s a given for this summer: anytime you get in the car and turn on the radio, this song is sure to be on.

2. “Beachin’” by Jake Owen This is the perfect song for just laying poolside or at the beach relaxing, getting a tan and hanging out with friends.

3. “Summer” by Calvin Harris Each summer at least one person comes out with a song that includes summer in the title.

This summer, that's this song.

4. “Stay With Me” by Sam Smith Whenever you’re in the mood to belt out a song (or deal with a summer breakup), this is the song you should listen to.

5. “Turn Down for What”

by DJ Snake and Lil Jon This one’s for any of you who are partygoers (or anyone who feels the urge to practice twerking in their bedroom).

ten organizations to an event involving the entire downtown and nearly 40 arts-related organizations eager to support the arts and our community,” Gunn says.

This event is ever-changing, and no two Fridays have the same feel. The artist lineup is continually rotating and allowing for new talent to be in the spotlight. Art is not a spectator sport at Artrageous, either, with multiple interactive exhibits for patrons to enjoy.

From walk-through exhibits to crafty do-it-yourself projects, Artrageous creates opportunities to expand skill and knowledge during a unique tour through multiple media.

demonstrating the making of little felt balls…people each made their own felt balls, and despite the cold weather, continued to work on felting them all over downtown as they attended other events — we heard about it from all over,” says Ruth Walker, now a partner for Bluestem Missouri Crafts. Bluestem has been one of the sponsors since the inaugural event of Artrageous Fridays.

Bluestem kicks the night off strong with an opening reception that typically involves the featured artist of the evening.

This year, the featured artist is Dave & Dyno with the Roadkill Orchestra, a folk/Americana band from Lupus.

There are multiple performances scheduled for the July 18 event, and something for everyone. Artrageous Fridays patrons also have the chance to get to speak to the artists of the exhibits they visit, making

the crawl even more unique and fruitful.

Over the years, Artrageous has expanded its horizons from exclusively local visual art to integrating performance art and local businesses, encompassing many of the best parts of Columbia’s community. Multiple Columbia establishments come together to support the art community and feature different talent during these events.

“I am continually amazed and impressed with the unique ideas and offerings the local businesses provide to the community during Artrageous,” says Gunn of the series’ expansion.

Artrageous Fridays strives to highlight the positive impact of the arts on the community of Columbia. By combining local business with artists in one event, Artrageous capitalizes on the strengths of both to maximize the event for the

patrons. Some newly involved businesses include Blenders Smoothies & Juice and Cafe Berlin, while multiple veteran restaurants remain to stand behind Artrageous creating a wide spectrum to satisfy all tastes.

“Our restaurant and bar partners typically host happy hour specials either before, during or after Artrageous,” Gunn says.

Participants can follow the event’s website or pick up an Artrageous booklet to begin the crawl, Gunn says.

“Our website is updated with what every venue is hosting and you can find a map of locations in the booklets or on our website,” he says.

The official event starts at 9 a.m. and ends around 9 p.m., offering plenty of time to explore, ask questions and get involved at the exhibits.

and get yourself downtown. Aside from classic – but still delicious – flavors such as chocolate and vanilla, Sparky’s ventures into the more crazy, experimental side of ice cream, with flavors ranging from lavender honey (my personal favorite) to maple syrup and bacon.

There’s a reason people of Columbia rave about the painting-filled ice cream parlor, and you don’t want to miss out on any flavors of the summer.

Ladies, it’s time to show some tough love to your worn-out LBDs and relegate them to the

back of your closet. The LWD should be the go-to summer staple piece in every woman’s closet. It’s flirty but feminine, sweet but seductive, all at the same time. Nothing says summer quite like throwing on a fresh all-white frock to beat the heat. Talk about a trend with benefits.

Behind Ali, Kreklow legacy continues BRUNO VERNASCHI Assistant Editor Settter Molly Kreklow’s accolades are almost too many to count.

The niece of Missouri head coach Wayne Kreklow, she was the 2013 Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and a first team All-American who led the nation with 12.65 assists per set. With the second most career assists in Mizzou history with 5,366,

Kreklow had one of the biggest roles on the team.

Now she’s gone. After Missouri volleyball’s most successful season in program history, going 34-0 and clinching the SEC title last fall, the Tigers have lost Kreklow to graduation.

But the Kreklow family legacy is not finished at Mizzou. Freshman setter Ali Kreklow, Molly’s cousin and Wayne’s daughter, will join the

Tigers this fall and may take over for her cousin in the starting lineup. Last year, she led Rock Bridge High School to the 4A State Quarterfinals and was named All-State honorable mention.

Over the last couple years of my St. Louis sports fandom, I have developed a theory simply labeled the Rams Theory. This theory is what I use to explain why I am still a Rams fan to concerned friends and family. The Cardinals have spoiled their fans with four World Series trips and two championships in a ten year span, along with several other playoff appearances mixed in there. In short, it is very easy to be a St. Louis Cardinals fan. To the point where now, I don't even have that much fun being a Cards fan. I find it much more challenging and satisfying to be a Rams. One week, we might lose to one of the league's worst and the next, beat San Francisco on the road.

I believe the Rams Theory also explains why people get more excited for the U.S. hockey and soccer teams than the basketball team. During the 2012 Summer Olympics, my buddies and I weren't desperately trying to figure out where we were going to watch LeBron and company dismantle every opponent on Teams USA's leisurely stroll to the gold medal.

Fast forward to the U.S. hockey team in the 2014 Winter Olympics. Following T.J. Oshie's legendary shootout performance against the Russians, each game that followed became mustwatch television. I can vividly remember leaving multiple answers blank on a Spanish exam so I could race home and watch our boys try and rally past Canada in the semi-finals in an attempt to get back to the gold medal game.

Now, here we are at the end of another national team’s run in international competition. This time, our soccer team in the World Cup. Placed in the infamous “Group of Death” and armed with only a high school student section chant (“I Believe”), experts were not optimistic about the United States’s chances of advancing on to the knockout round.

From what I saw though, experts' opinions had no bearing on the hope of U.S. soccer fans.

The group chats I am in were blowing up in the hours leading up to the opening game versus Ghana, with people getting in heated arguments over where the best place in Columbia is to watch a game.

Then, before you could even pick an appetizer, Clint Dempsey put the U.S. ahead 1-0 and sent the home country into a frenzy. The clips of fans in Chicago's Grant Park and, as much as it pains me to say it, Kansas City's Power and Light District looked absolutely nuts. John Brooks's game-winning header dumped a gallon of excitement into a bonfire of hope and the build-up for the game against the Ronaldo-led Portugal team couldn't have been higher. Though that game ended in what has to be the worst tie in the history of U.S. sports and the two games that followed both ended in defeat, I never saw any of the U.S. fans that surrounded me lose hope.

Neither team medaled. The soccer team only won one game. But for two weeks, each team had all of us glued to our TVs. As far as the future for both these teams? I believe.

gold. Doing so wins the game for his or her team.

“At World Cup, our team played decently, but lacked the dedication and work ethic to play to our full potential,” Smith said. “Every game played was within snitch range but we could not find it in ourselves to get the victories.”

However, the team hopes that with its new talent and recent World Cup appearance, the sport will gain popularity on campus.

First played in 2005 at Middlebury College in Vermont, the sport has experienced incredible growth in its brief nine-year existence.

According to Midwest U.S. Quidditch representative Alex Scheer, the popularity is not only rising in the U.S. but also abroad.

There are about 500 teams affiliated with United States Quidditch, the official collegiate Quidditch governing body in the United States. According to Scheer, there’s another 200 or 300 teams abroad, including teams in Canada, Mexico, China and Australia.

Korte said the combination of the physicality of the game and the people she plays with has made it an unforgettable experience.

“Amongst all the sports I’ve played I would definitely rank Quidditch as my top one,” Korte said. “I never come home and complain about practice or the game. I just really love it.”

Junior Taylor Korte has always been a natural athlete.

In high school, she excelled at basketball, softball and track and field. However, not once in high school did a coach from any of Korte’s several teams ask her to mount a broomstick.

When Korte attended Summer Welcome as a transfer student last summer, she noticed a table for the Quidditch team at the activities fair, but said she quickly assumed it to be a “nerd sport.” Korte grew up a fan of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, but didn’t see the fictionally-derived sport from the novels as anything more than group of fans playing around.

But Korte’s roommate convinced her to give the sport a try.

“My roommate was in a class with someone on the Quidditch team and he showed their highlight reel to the class,” Korte said. “She showed it to me and there’s a part where the old captain picked up a guy and threw him on the ground, and I was like ‘Okay, it’s not a nerd sport. I’m going to have to join now.’”

She’s glad she did. The “nerd sport” has taken her across the country.

Founded in 2010, MU’s Quidditch Club team performed well enough in its third season – Korte’s first –

“Our first year of competitive play two years ago left much to be desired,” said MU Quidditch captain Brett Smith. “This year, under some new leadership and game play ideas, as well as an influx of freshman talent and returning experience, we made a name for ourselves.”

The USQ’s World Cup functions much like the FIFA World Cup. In order to attend the event, a team must do well enough during the regular season and regional tournament to make it to pool play. After pool play, teams that advance participate in bracket play. Depending on how far a team advances in bracket play determines whether it earns a spot in the final championship game.

The game is played in a similar way to what is described in the books, just not airborne. The full-contact sport consists of three chasers, two beaters, a keeper and a seeker.

The chasers’ main objective is to score points with a volleyball called the “quaffle,” while the beaters attempt to knock players out of the game with a “bludger” – a dodgeball. The keeper protects his or her team’s goal, similar to a goalkeeper in soccer, and the seeker – the position that Harry Potter played in the novels – attempts to catch the golden snitch, a tennis ball attached to a person dressed in all

THE MANEATER | SPORTS | JULY 9, 2014

Former golfer says goodbye to Missouri In Cuartero’s senior season, the Tigers went to the NCAA Golf Championships for the first time since 2005.

JACOB SEUS Reporter When Emilio Cuartero came to Missouri, he could barely speak English.

“It was a challenge,” Cuartero said. “My English was really bad, but I knew I wanted to be there. My mind was set to fight through the struggle.”

Cuartero, who completed his final season of collegiate golf this year, came over to the United States from Spain in 2010 to attend Mizzou. He chose the Tigers over Indiana University and Jacksonville State. Coming out of high school, Cuartero was ranked the No. 1 amateur golfer in Spain.

And though he could barely speak English when he came to Missouri, that didn’t stop him putting together a successful collegiate career on the way to becoming a professional golfer.

At Missouri, Cuartero was a two-time academic All-American. He won his first match as a Tiger at the Washington State Snowman Getaway and never looked

back. Cuartero earned six top-15 finishes in his sophomore season. His senior year, the Tigers went to the NCAA Golf Championships for the first time since 2005. Cuartero finished the tournament 15th overall, to finish off his career with Mizzou with his ninth top20 finish of the season.

“It was the closest I’ve been to a professional event,” Cuartero said of the NCAA Golf Championships. “The level was so high. It doesn’t get any tougher than that.”

Cuartero was the co-captain of the Tigers last season, along with fellow 2014 graduate Hunter Kraus.

“He worked hard, he always competed,” Kraus said of Cuartero. “Him playing so well

pushed everyone else to raise their game and work harder.”

Kraus feels Cuartero will be very successful in his professional golf career.

“He can compete at the highest level, whether it is the European Tour or the PGA Tour he will be at the top,” Kraus said.

Sophomore golfer Tripp H’Doubler said Cuartero was a tremendous help during his first year with the team.

“He is wise beyond his years, so there were many occasions when I would seek his advice even more than our coaches,” H’Doubler said. “He gave off a vibe when practicing that made others recognize that he was a different breed of talent than everyone else on the team.”

Cuartero is now back in Spain, a place he spent so little time during his college career — only going back home for winter and summer breaks. He will represent Spain in the Junior Golf World Cup and continue to play in many big European tournaments.

With his college career over and his professional one in front of him, Cuartero said he wouldn’t change a thing.

“It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it,” Cuartero said. “If I had to do it all over again, knowing everything that I know, I would choose the same thing.”

“I couldn’t picture myself in any other program or team,” she said. “It’s always somewhere I’ve wanted to be. I love Columbia

Continued from page 15 was put in touch with Spurs head trainer Anthony Falsone by his father, who became close friends with Falsone during the trainer’s tenure with the Rockets from 1996-2006.

Falsone offered Calkins an internship in the Spurs’ strength and conditioning department, where he had the opportunity to work directly with Spurs players in their dayto-day workouts.

“When Carson first indicated he was interested in pursuing strength and conditioning and athletic performance in a team environment, Anthony was immediately the first contact who came to mind,” Keith Calkins said in an email. “Not just because of his obvious experience working with worldclass athletes, NBA titles with the Rockets ... More importantly because of his integrity.

(Falsone is an) absolute pro — perfect mentoring presence. He

THE MANEATER | SPORTS | JULY 9, 2014 and I love home, but at the end of the day, I didn’t feel any pressure to come to (Mizzou.)”

Ali Kreklow’s parents have coached her club team in the past. Her last two years of high school were the first time they didn’t coach her.

“It’s actually a little weirder not playing for them than playing for them,” she said. “It’ll be a bigger difference at the

collegiate level because it’s more competitive, but nothing I can’t get used to.”

Kreklow will likely compete to be the Tigers’ starting setter with sophomore Loxley Keala, who took the role of defensive specialist last year, playing in all 36 games.

“Molly’s a phenomenal setter and it was great to be on the same court as her,” Keala said.

“That was the best way to learn – seeing how she interacted with the team, how she ran the offense.”

With her star cousin, Molly, who has left her mark on Mizzou; her older brother, Ricky, who played basketball at Mizzou, Cal and now Creighton; her father, Wayne, who, along with coaching the Tigers, won a national championship with the Boston

Celtics; and her mother, Susan, who played volleyball at Missouri State and is also on the Tigers’ coaching staff, Ali Kreklow has a lot to live up to.

“There has always been pressure in my family to perform well,” Kreklow said. “That’s just kind of what is expected. But it’s nothing out of the ordinary – I’ve been doing it for a long time.”

would not tell Carson what he wanted to hear but rather what he needed to know.”

Calkins recalled times when players would eat next to him at lunch, but said that while those were cool experiences, he ultimately worked past getting star-struck very quickly. Rather, those times made him realize how far he’s come so quickly.

“During the season you get caught up in the day-to-day grind so it doesn’t really hit you, but I definitely stopped a few times during the year and thought ‘Wow, this is the Spurs,’” Calkins said. “People asked what I did and I got to say I was working with one of the best teams in the NBA.” In high school, Calkins played basketball and had an interest in potentially pursuing sports journalism, but ultimately switched his interests when he was looking at colleges his senior year.

“I wanted to work more directly with athletes,” Calkins said. “I wanted to be more on the inside, which is (something I couldn’t do in journalism).

I wanted to have more of a

direct inf luence on how athletes play, and I still wanted to be (involved) with that competitive team aspect. I’m a very competitive person and it was a way to help channel that.”

Calkins said he received offers to play basketball for multiple Division III programs at the collegiate level, but opted to go to Missouri instead to pursue his passion for strength and conditioning coaching.

“I could’ve played at some small DIII schools,” Calkins said. “But I wanted to work with a big-time DI program (in strength and conditioning).

When I visited Missouri, I went and visited (then-men's basketball strength and conditioning coach) David Deets and told him what I was interested in. He showed me what it was like on the inside.”

Calkins joined the training staff after he enrolled at Mizzou.

When then-men's basketball coach Mike Anderson left for Arkansas, he took Deets with him, leaving Calkins to run the team’s conditioning drills while a replacement was found.

“It was a very eye-opening

experience,” Calkins said. “I felt that at the time I wasn’t being the best coach I could be. I was always afraid to be outspoken.

But (in that situation), I had players looking to me, strength coaches — guys who are (much) more experienced than I — looking to me and asking what the workout is. So I had to step up to the plate.”

While those two weeks were perhaps the highlight of Calkins’ time as a strength coach at Mizzou, he also spent time working with the football team, women’s basketball team and women’s soccer team.

“Being around guys (at Mizzou) who were considered ‘big time’ every day, that definitely helped with making being around the guys on the Spurs no big deal,” Calkins said.

“When (Spurs starting point guard) Tony Parker comes in and says ‘I want to lift,’ it’s not, ‘Oh my god it’s Tony Parker,’ it’s ‘OK Tony, let’s go do something.’”

After experiencing an 82-game season and an eventful playoff run, Calkins found himself on the winning

side of the Spurs’ 4-1 series win over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals, and capped off his internship with a champagne celebration in the locker room.

Keith Calkins called it an experience for his son that is “genuinely once in a lifetime.”

“That phrase gets tossed around too freely,” Keith Calkins said. “Here is where it truly applies.”

Carson Calkins just feels special having held the trophy.

“You think about how many guys have played in the league and tried to earn the right to hold the trophy — Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Steve Nash — who were tremendous players but never (won a championship),” Calkins said. “You put in so much work, and guys like that didn’t get it, but then how lucky I was in my first year to say that I held the same trophy as guys like Kobe (Bryant) and Michael (Jordan).

“If you’re a basketball fan, you can’t help but be in awe of that.”
