STUDENT LIFE 11 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT . . .

THE PHOENIX SUNS

IT’S OFFICIALLY BASKETBALL SEASON! WHETHER YOU’VE LIVED IN ARIZONA YOUR WHOLE LIFE OR YOU’VE JUST MOVED HERE FOR SCHOOL, EVERYONE CAN HAVE AN APPRECIATION FOR THE PHOENIX SUNS. FROM THE GOOFY AND ACROBATIC MASCOT TO THE GARISHLY EYE-CATCHING TEAM COLORS, WE’VE COVERED ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT ARIZONA’S PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL TEAM.

11

THEY HAD TO FIGHT BE HERE In 1968, a group of about 10 businessmen proposed the idea of a professional basketball team in Phoenix to the NBA. Although then NBA commissioner J. Walter Kennedy opposed the idea, calling Phoenix “too hot,” “too small” and “too far away” to be successful, the NBA Board of Governors still granted Phoenix a franchise.

10

JERRY COLANGELO HAS A LONG HISTORY WITH THE SUNS At the age of 28, Jerry Colangelo left the Chicago Bulls, where he was a player scout, to be the Suns’ first general manager. He later became one of the Suns’ owners and was a key factor in the growth of the team.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 5, 2015

THE ORIGINAL LOGO WAS CREATED FOR A DEAL The Suns’ iconic, original logo was designed by Stan Fabe, who owned a commercial printing plant in Tucson, for $200 after the team had already paid a local artist $5,000 but were disappointed with the results.

8

THE 2004-2005 SEASON WAS A BIG ONE Steve Nash’s first season with the Suns after playing for the Mavericks proved to be one of the biggest in franchise history. Not only did the team go to the Western Conference Finals, but they set a team record for the greatest single season improvement—they won 33 more games than they had in the 2003-2004 season. Additionally, Nash won the MVP award, Amar’e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion were named AllStars and Mike D’Antoni was named NBA Coach of the Year.

7

THE GORILLA SANG ITS WAY INTO THE TEAM’S HEART For the first 11 seasons of their existence, the Suns had no official mascot. A first attempt for one involved a sunflower costume, but thankfully it never caught on. In 1980, a singing telegram, named Henry Rojas, was sent to the arena in a gorilla costume. Security suggested to him that he stay to entertain the fans during the breaks. He was such a hit, he kept coming back until he was officially named the mascot.

THERE IS MORE TO GO THAN DUNKS Go, the Suns’ gorilla mascott, is famous for his slapstick humor and fourth quarter acrobatic dunks, but there is more to him. He graduated from “Hairy Truman” High School, which is located in “Mon-key West, Florida” before he attended and graduated from “Fur-Man Univeristy” in 1980. He was also honored in 2005 by being one of three inaugural members of the Mascots Hall of Fame.

5

THE HOME COURT HAS SEVERAL NAMES Ask a veteran fan of the Suns where they play and they might tell you America West Arena or maybe even US Airways Arena. As of last month, the arena has officially been renamed Talking Stick Resort Arena, however an acceptable nickname would be the “purple palace” due to the rich purple seats.

4

A PHOENICIAN CHOSE THE NAME In a “Name the Team” contest sponsored by The Arizona Republic, the team name of “The Suns” was chosen from 28,000 entries that also included Scorpions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Wranglers, Mustangs and Tumbleweeds.

We’re pretty relieved the Suns won.

3

THEY HAVE A SUPER ROOKIE Suns guard Devin Booker is not only the youngest player in the NBA, but before his birthday on October 30, he was the first 18 year old in the NBA to score in the double digits in 10 years.

2

THEY ARE ALONE IN THE DESERT The Phoenix Suns is the only team in the Pacific division of the Western Conference that is not based in California. The other teams currently in the division are the Los Angeles Clippers, the Golden State Warriors, the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers.

THEY ARE EVEN BETTER THAN YOU THINK Although they have never won an NBA Championship, the Phoenix Suns have made two Finals appearances (1976 and 1993) and 29 Playoff appearances. They are also fourth in the rankings of all-time winning percentage in the entire NBA. We are only behind the Spurs, Lakers and Celtics respectively.

LOOK, MA— NO HANDS! A LOOK AT THE HANDS-FREE SCOOTER CRAZE

CARSON MLNARIK • COLLEGE TIMES

I

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 5, 2015

8

t’s a sunny day on campus and you’re walking to class. Maybe you’re listening to “Blood on the Leaves” by Kanye West on your phone and actively looking for any sign of rain, or at least a cloud.

Suddenly, you hear the same song you’re listening to, but ten times louder. You look around.

Is there a speaker? The sound gets louder. Is someone carrying a boombox?

Then, the answer swerves around and speeds straight past you. It looks like a hoverboard or a Segway without the handle. It’s a two-wheel, self-balancing electric scooter. And it’s awesome.

Originally made in China, the scooter is currently manufactured by a number of different copycat companies, ranging in price from $200 to $1000. The main reasons for the varying price range include differences in engine power, lights, weight capacity and speaker capabilities.

The scooters travel around 6 MPH, making it an easy way to roll around from place to place.

But it has had an illustrious history before it appeared on college campuses.

Celebrities like Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Nick Jonas have all posted videos trying out the scooters on their Instagram, Twitter and YouTube accounts.

“Good Morning America” even featured a group of teenagers

on the scooters, performing a choreographed dance in the middle of Times Square.

Back on campus, students can be seen riding through crowds on the scooters on their way to class. Amidst bicyclists, skateboarders and pedestrians, they look like characters from a science fiction movie, standing straight as they glide toward

their destination.

According to ASU Parking and Transit Services, the boards fit under the same category as skateboards, rollerblades and bicycles, and are not allowed in Walk-Only Zones or inside buildings.

Walk-Only Zones, according to the ASU website, encompass the heavily-trafficked areas of campus, and during enforcement times, no one may ride, drive or park wheeled vehicles

in those areas.

With over 50,000 students on the Tempe campus and 13,750 bicycles used daily, according to the ASU website, transportation is a big deal, and these scooters, while cool looking, may not be the best method of transportation.

Kylie Kilian, a sophomore, has been riding her bike around campus for about a year and half because it’s cheaper than driving and a good form of exercise.

“The hoverboards are neat,” says Kilian. “But I don’t think they get you around any faster than walking, so at that point, just walk.”

Nicolas Carreras, a sophomore who rides his longboard to class, also prefers the exercise he gets from longboarding and doesn’t see himself ever switching to the two-wheel, self balancing scooters.

He also isn’t a big fan of their affectionate nickname.

“Can we please stop calling them hoverboards? They don’t hover,” Carreras says.

While traveling around campus on the scooters may not be the fastest or most physically intensive, it is certainly the method that will get the most double takes. Only time will tell if this is just a fad or if these scooters will become reliable forms of transportation such as skateboards and bikes.

FINALLY FALL

10 THINGS WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT NOW THAT THE WEATHER HAS COOLED OFF IN THE VALLEY BREANNE DEMORE • COLLEGE TIMES

1. Exercising by the canal system

6. Wearing boots (and long sleeves, sweaters, pants, etc.)

2. Walking to brunch or dinner 7. Eating on the patio of the restaurant 3. Wearing a shirt that isn’t black or white

8. Looking forward to the warmest part of the day

4. Hiking after 8 a.m.

9. Going to the farmers’ market 5. Drinking something warm or hot

10. Keeping our windows and doors open

IDENTITY CRISIS

ASU IS LOSING THE PARTY SCHOOL LABEL AND GAINING AN INNOVATIVE ONE KAT SIMONOVIC • COLLEGE TIMES

T

wo years ago, 85281, which includes Arizona State University’s main campus, was the zip code in Arizona responsible for the most crime calls in Arizona.

Then the ASU Police Department partnered up with the Tempe Police Department to upgrade programs to help reduce crime rates and drinking arrests in the area.

According to Lt. Mike Pooley, a Tempe Police Department spokesman, there were nearly 1,000 fewer noise complaints in the past year in Tempe. Violent crimes in the city have decreased up to 30 percent.

“We continue to work very closely with the neighborhoods to make sure the families and people living in those areas know the resources to

get help or reduce complaints,” Pooley says.

In 2013, Tempe PD conducted research to see where the parties lay geographically in correlation to where the crimes were taking place.

When they saw that the two often went hand-in-hand, they began to crack down on security efforts starting with noise complaints.

“We have also worked to strengthen our relationship with the managers of off campus housing so that we can head off potential problems,” Nicole Franks, spokeswoman for ASU PD says.

“It’s not a fun or popular opinion, but I honestly think that ramping up security aimed at breaking up big parties is one of the most effective ways to help put an end

to curb instances of sexual assault,” says Brendan Weiner, a junior finance student at ASU. While some feel a lot safer with the new aggressive security changes, there are many students that disagree.

“C’mon it’s ASU. I mean we’ve been a top five party school for years. All these cops breaking up parties ruins the college experience for all of us. They did it too,” Edgar Febres, a junior business student at ASU argues.

The ASU Police Department, as well as the Tempe Police Department, plan on doing everything they can to help maintain the reduction in crime rate as well as keep the campus a safe and successful environment throughout the school year.

As of 2015, ASU is the second university in the country to add a “Special Victims Unit” to its campus police department. Its purpose is to inves-

tigate mostly sexual assaults, which have decreased from 4.7 percent to 3.1 percent within the year. ASU PD is also using advanced prevenCONTINUES ON PAGE 14

tative measures to keep these types of attacks at bay.

“We also take advantage of technology. The department encourages ASU students, faculty, staff and community members to use the free ASU ‘LiveSafe’ mobile app to report crimes or ask for assistance across all four ASU campuses,” Franks says.

The app enables users to send ASU Police real-time, anonymous tips that include chat, pictures, audio and video. The anonymity makes users more comfortable with

sending in tips. The app also provides direct access to ASU Police dispatch and 911 emergency services. A “SafeWalk” feature allows family and friends to virtually walk app users home while they view the user’s progress on a virtual map. Additionally, students can request ASU Safety Escort Services on all campuses via the “SafeRide” feature.

Thanks to these efforts, ASU is busting through its reputation of being one of the biggest party schools in the nation and transforming itself into being the most groundbreaking. As of September

2015, the U.S. News & World Report released its list of “most innovative schools” of the year, with ASU topping the list.

The U.S. News & World Report ranks institutions making the most innovative improvements in terms of curriculum, faculty, students, campus life, technology and facilities, with ASU coming ahead of both Stanford and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2015.

“I think it’s a positive direction to go in that will steer us away from the stigma of being a party school,” says

Owen Ealdner, a sophomore journalism student. “We have one of the best journalism and business schools in the country, and our film program is great, too. We are becoming a very respectable institution and that is important for our futures.”

And ASU is holding up their side of the innovation bargain. On October 14, ASU announced that the W.P. Carey School of Business will become the first school to make its full-time MBA program completely free. This will result in the loss of about $20 million annually; however,

the goal is to attract diversity to the business school and to allow everyone the opportunity of an education.

Additionally, on October 21, ASU Athletic Director Ray Anderson announced that the athletic department will be expanding yet again to add a women’s triathlon and a women’s lacrosse team in 2017.

Just last year, ASU upgraded their club hockey team to an NCAA sport.

So say so long to the party school days of ASU and hello to this new forward-thinking, innovative school.

EXISTENTIAL AMBUSH

WE BOMBARD PEOPLE WITH THE BIG QUESTIONS TO SEE HOW THEY RESPOND AO GAO • COLLEGE TIMES

“How do you define beauty and what is the first thing you think of when you hear the word?”

“The first word [that] pops out to me is ‘inner,’ just because it means more. Like your inner beauty—how you treat people, how you feel about yourself. I guess the external beauty is kind of [what] society makes it.”

– RACHEL SHEDDEN, GRAD STUDENT, ASU

“Everyone has a different opinion about it, obviously. For me, it’s about how you act around people. Who you are [and] how do you treat others—that’s a true beauty for me. The first word [I think of] is character.”

– ALONZO MONTALVO, JUNIOR, ASU

“Beauty is anything that’s aesthetically pleasing. Anything [that] just looks good to the eye has some level of beauty to it. The first thing that comes up in my mind is actually my girlfriend.”

– MITCHELL HUGHES, FRESHMAN, ASU

“I mostly look at personality. I’m really not much about what people look like. The first word [I think of] is smile.”

– FRANK SALGADO, FRESHMAN, ASU

HER ASHLEE NEVITT JUNIOR, ASU

HIM JESSIE MILLARD SENIOR, ASU

“How important is physical attractiveness to you in yourself? In other people?”

“How important is physical attractiveness to you in yourself? In other people?”

I do think it’s important to represent ourselves in a good way, but as far as physical attractiveness, I think it’s much more important [to focus on] who you are inside and how you live than what you look like on the outside. For others, there is a huge emphasis put on physical attractiveness throughout the world or especially in this country, I guess. But we make a bigger deal out of it than it should be. We should focus [more] on what’s inside than what’s on the outside.

For me, I’m in a relationship, and I think you should be attracted to whoever it is. Everyone has their own personal preference, but to me, it’s not the most important thing. Yet, I still have to be attracted to them in terms of relationship. For others, a lot of people genuinely think beauty is the number one thing, especially for males and the ways they were taught—stereotypes.

“Do you believe that beauty is completely subjective or that there are some things that all humans will find attractive?

I think for the most part it is subjective. For most of time, we humans have had the ability to recognize confident people, kind people or genuine people and that’s attractive to everyone.

“Is beauty strictly sightbased or can you sense beauty in other ways as well?”

I think you sense it in other ways. If you are blind and talk to someone, you can tell how they care about themselves and feel about themselves, their confidence and how genuine they are . . . There is a way to sense that inner beauty besides sight.

“Do you believe that beauty is completely subjective or that there are some things that all humans will find attractive?

It’s probably a little bit [of] both. For example, if someone can have a kid, that’s a universal attraction, at least for heterosexual people, but it does get subjective for the rest of the attributes. There are few universal attractions, not a lot.

“Is beauty strictly sight-based or can you sense beauty in other ways as well?”

I think it’s a little [of] both again.

Sight-based is definitely the [main] thing when you just see someone. Then, when you get to know them, their personality can be also a beautiful thing.

You can find hundreds of people, but when you get to know them more, you are like, “Oh, not really. Now, I know who they are and I don’t agree with what they say, or how they are, and how they treat others.”

HOW TO LIVE LARGE IN A SMALL SPACE Sometimes we can really only afford to live in a studio and sometimes we decide a studio is all we need. But whether you’re ready to join the tiny house movement or just want to get the most out of a compact space in your home, there are easy things you can do to make a small space look, feel and function like a larger one.

“There’s no need to sacrifice great design if you live in a small space. A few simple changes are all you need to make it feel bigger, more beautiful and a reflection of your personality,” says Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing, Sherwin-Williams.

Multitasking solutions. If you’re always multitasking, your furniture can do the same. Place an ottoman with a hidden storage compartment or flip-top serving tray beside a comfy chair. Move a twin bed next to the wall and add big patterned pillows to create seating space by day, and sleeping space by night. The pillows can also provide extra floor seating for entertaining.

ApacheStation.com | 480.659.2600 | ApacheStation@irliving.com

The answer is written on the wall. Walls can also be multifunctional.

Items like Sketch Pad, a clear gloss coating, can turn any surface into a dry erase board, and go over any paint color. Instead of cluttering up the walls with bulletin boards, write directly on the wall by a computer desk, or scribble messages and doodles in the kitchen. Simply wipe it clean with a dry eraser.

Have lofty ambitions. Consider creating a sleeping loft. It’s not only cozy, but leaves extra living space below. A Murphy bed that folds up discretely into the wall is another space saver.

Find a focal point. It can make a space feel larger. Try painting a corner, such as a reading nook, in a bright, bold color for a mini-room effect. Or paint a piece of furniture or picture frame and elevate it to something special.

FRESHMAN VS. SENIOR

WHO HAS THEIR LIVES MORE FIGURED OUT? AO GAO • COLLEGE TIMES

THE FRESHMAN: MICHELLE SILVERIO SOCIAL WORK

How’s school going so far?

It’s going pretty good. I’m adjusting well—better than I thought I was going to. Because I’ve been living on campus, it’s been easier to transition.

How much of what you’re studying right now do you think you’ll use in your future career?

Everything I’m studying right now is going to go towards my career.

How do you prepare for you exams?

I study the night before and I just pretty much cram everything in.

What’s the hardest part about college?

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 5, 2015

20

I think that hardest part is not being able to see my family everyday because I’m a family-oriented person. Also, just adjusting to the times, like having to wake up at different times of the day.

Do you know what you want to do after graduation?

I think I’m going to go to grad school but I don’t know yet.

hether you’re scrambling to order your cap and gown or still trying to figure out if your professor is out to get you, chances are we all have something to stress about this time of year.

It’s time to find out just how different (or similar) freshmen and seniors are when it comes to school. It’s the battle of the classes! Who will come out on top?

THE SENIOR: ERICA LANG JOURNALISM How’s school going so far?

It’s going very well. It’s been a very busy semester and I’m excited to graduate in May of 2016.

How much of what you’re studying right now do you think you’ll use in your future career?

I think I definitely learned a lot within academia, but [during] college as a whole I’ve definitely learned different lessons outside of the school walls that I think will contribute to my future career.

How do you prepare for you exams?

Well, in journalism it’s less about an actual Scantron test and more about projects and teamwork, and brainstorming different story ideas and being innovative. When it did come to testing in my earlier years at the university, for me it was just finding a quiet space.

What’s the hardest part about college?

I think to some extent high schools try to prepare you for the academic side of college but I don’t think you can ever be fully prepared for the different experiences that you’re going to have in four years.

Do you know what you want to do after graduation?

I’m keeping my options open. I’m hoping to find something that will allow me to continue utilizing both the skills that I have learned and developed here and those that I have found an interest in. I’m hoping, perhaps, somewhere in video. A lot of places, like newspapers, are wanting to improve their video content, so maybe that would work.

SUCCESS & MONEY GEARS FIXED ON SUCCESS

HOW STATE BICYCLE CO. TURNED ITS LOVE OF BIKES INTO AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS BREANNE DEMORE • COLLEGE TIMES

M

illennials are different from previous generations in a few key ways. First of all, we’re audacious enough to think that our passions can become our line of work. Second of all, we’re locally-minded and have a desire to support our own communities. Lastly, we’re more environmentally and health-conscious, and view bikes as a great way to combine our health and transportation.

Enter State Bicycle Co.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 5, 2015

22

The three founders, brothers Mehdi and Reza Farsi and good friend Eric Ferguson, were daring enough to turn a passion of theirs, cycling, into their own extremely successful company not two years after graduating from ASU. They got in ahead of the fixed gear trend and we able to be one of the first companies on the market that allowed customers to order and customize their own fixed-gear bikes, without having to order all of the parts separately and have someone assemble it.

MONDAY

Today, five-and-a-half years after their first production, the company is doing very well, has international divisions and continues to support the community that helped them in their first days. College Times sat down with the three founders to pick their brains and ask for some advice for turning your passion into a career.

College Times: When did cycling become a passion for you all?

M. Farsi: For myself, it’s something that I was exposed to at an early age. Our dad is kind of an avid cyclist—nothing too crazy on the competition side, but [it’s] something that he always did to stay in shape. But growing up we would watch cycling on television with him and we were fans of the sport before we were participating in cycling.

Was State Bicycle Co. something that you guys knew you wanted to do going into ASU or was it something that came to fruition later on?

M. Farsi: We started in 2009 and we were all working together at a different compa-

ny that I did start when I was in college. It was a furniture business. So we were selling mid-century, reproduction furniture. So we had experience with all aspects of business through that company and State Bicycle really just started as a side project. We were sampling in late 2007 and early 2008 and then we didn’t start selling the bikes until March 2010.

thing like that. And I mean, we were selling bikes the first day. It was like the people next door, his friend, my brother or whatever it was, but we started moving units pretty quick. And we had our website up pretty quick—like a month later?

What gave you the courage to turn it into a business?

M. Farsi: We were all pretty stable working at our other jobs. So to us, it wasn’t a huge risk. We thought that we could confidently start small and grow. So the risk wasn’t tremendous and being young and not married and not having a mortgage and not a lot of financial responsibility, so to speak, I think allows you to take a lot more risks when you’re at a younger age.

Ferguson: Craigslist we sold a bunch of bikes on, actually.

What were those first few years like? Was it an immediate success?

Ferguson: Kind of. So in our first production, we only brought in 150 units or some-

M.Farsi: Yeah, we had sold a bunch of bikes though before then. Through Craigslist and eBay.

M.Farsi: Yeah, just word of mouth.

Ferguson: People driving down to the warehouse—we’d show them the few things that we

had and what our color options were and were getting our first photography run done.

And the website went up and [turning to Mehdi] that was that day that we all went to lunch and we all got a bing on our phone that we had sold a bike on our website and we hadn’t even started marketing yet or anything.

What have been your biggest accomplishments with State Bicycle Co. so far?

M. Farsi: I guess you can look at that a number of ways. So business-wise, we’ve been able to grow at a pretty astounding rate. We’ve launched a UK division of the company. We’re launching Australia later this year. So from the business

Ferguson: I think the employment part was—you know, we employ like 25 people in that community.

M. Farsi: These are all people that ride. They’re really active in the community. We’ve done rides all over the world. We’ve done rides in Milan, Barcelona, Puerto Rico, South Korea—we have riders all over the globe,

so that’s really cool. But I think the one thing that is still kind of humbling and kind of surreal—obviously in Tempe, we sell a lot of bikes and if you go to campus, you’ll see our bikes. But to me, whenever I’m in a different city and I see someone riding down the street on one of our bikes, it’s still really surreal, really humbling.

It’s an honor to have someone commuting or using one of the bikes that we designed here.

And I mean, I know how many bikes we sell. I know where they go, but it’s still really cool when you actually see it instead of just names and addresses on the screen.

What have been some setbacks that you’ve had and what did you learn from them?

M. Farsi: I think that with any company, you’re going to have growing pains. So when we first started, myself, Reza and Eric were doing everything in the company. In the morning, we would be answering the phone and then later on, we would be packaging the bikes and shipping them out all together. We were doing everything together. So I think that as a business owner, you have to realize at some point that you can’t do everything and be able to trust reliable people to help out and you have to be able to delegate. If you try to do everything, you’re going to spread yourself too thin and it’s going to limit your growth.

So being able to trust people— bringing in reliable people to support is really, really import-

ant. And I think that is a bridge that any small business owner has to cross at some point.

Even with your international opportunities, you’ve stayed very locally-minded to Tempe and Phoenix. Is that intentional on your part? Do Tempe and Phoenix hold special meaning to you?

M. Farsi: I think that the bike community here has done a great job of supporting us and in turn we want to reciprocate that. When we got started, as Eric mentioned, [we sold] bikes by word of mouth and just out of this warehouse without a website or anything and without the local community here to support, it would have been a lot harder to get State Bicycle off the ground. So anytime we

can give back to the cycling community or the local ASU, college community, we’re all for it. And it’s something, frankly, that we enjoy doing and we enjoy interacting with our customers and we enjoy participating in all types of events with our customers and a lot of them are our friends.

success & money

stand point, those were big. It’s been a tremendous success in my book that we’ve been able to employ several dozen local cyclists. So in that way we’ve been able to strengthen and support the cycling community in Arizona through having a business here in Tempe. So those are big accomplishments for me.

success & money

What advice do you have for ambitious college students?

M. FARSI:

FERGUSON:

Act on your ideas. I think oftentimes, we have great ideas, goals or ambitions and they stay ideas or ambitions until you actually act on it. Especially when you’re young and in college, as I mentioned before, there’s really little to lose. I mean, you’re so early on in your career and in your life, I mean if everything fails, you’re starting from zero anyways. So go ahead and act on your ideas.

Gotta surround yourself with the right people. That’s one of the biggest shifts that anyone can make when they’re at that age. Especially with the entrepreneurial nature, it’s pretty uncommon that anyone goes it alone, so to speak. I happen to have amazing partners, the three of us have had other projects where we’ve had bad partners and detrimental is an understatement, so No. 1 is surround yourself with the right people and once you do that, just go for it. Just do it—just go for it.

DEVILS’ ADVOCATE

ASU’S QB MIKE BERCOVICI REMAINS A DYNAMIC AND LOYAL PERSON ON AND OFF THE FIELD

SUN DEVIL ATHLETICS

KAT SIMONOVIC • COLLEGE TIMES

A ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 5, 2015

SU football’s team captain and starting quarterback, Mike Bercovici has quite a lot on his plate as a student athlete. And yet, he still makes time to call his family every single day.

Bercovici, who refers to himself as a “momma’s boy,” credits a lot of his leadership qualities to his parents.

“I believe that my father shaped me into the person I am,” says Bercovici. “I was blessed to have role models for parents regarding leadership, heart, compassion and honesty; all traits which come from my parents.”

They have a very strong relationship, with his father mainly supporting him through his athletic career, while his mother upheld high expectations in his academics.

In a “Fox Sports” interview,

Ben Bercovici, the QB’s father, told a story from Mike’s middle school days. The two were at a prospect camp, walking off the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum field, home of the USC Trojans, when Mike told his father that he would one day play on that field.

On October 4, 2014, in a game against USC, his childhood aspirations were finally realized. With his team trailing in the final seconds, Bercovici threw up a prayer. And it was answered as the ball fell into the hands of Jaelen Strong for a game-winning touchdown.

“We [had] practiced the play and all I wanted to do was throw it as high and far as possible,” Bercovici says. “When it was caught, there was a weird silence in the stadium. I remember falling to the ground out of sheer

emotion and exhaustion.

“I grew up watching USC football and to be the opponent walking out of the tunnel was surreal. It was exciting to walk onto that field carrying the weight of our team and so many people that helped me get to where I am today,” he says.

But Bercovici is much more than part of ASU’s football history. The ASU redshirt senior quarterback is a leader both on the field and in the classroom.

This two-time Pac-12 All-Academic honoree has contributed over 50 hours of community service and maintained a GPA above a 3.0 throughout all of his years at ASU. He was also named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy earlier this year, which recognizes the best scholar athlete in the nation.

And to think, ASU almost lost him. In 2014, Bercovici was given many opportunities to leave ASU. He was second quarterback to Taylor Kelly last season, but was good enough to start elsewhere.

“You can really tell Mike cares about ASU,” says Bill Kennedy, associate athletic director at ASU. “When he didn’t get the starting quarterback job a few years back he could have left, but he didn’t. He stayed loyal and became a great ambassador for the team.”

Bercovici says he couldn’t leave the school because it felt wrong. “[ASU] has done so much for me, both on and off the field, that it gave me a pit in my stomach when [I was] thinking about wearing another team’s color.”

Athletic Director Ray Anderson has always spoken highly

of Bercovici and his dedication. “Mike is both selfless and determined, two qualities that any great leader must possess.

He knows adversity and what it takes to overcome it.”

His loyalty to Arizona doesn’t end there. Bercovici says he sees himself living in Scottsdale and hopefully one day playing in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals.

He really has left a lasting impression on those who he has crossed paths with in his time in Tempe. “[Bercovici] is one of those guys you’re lucky to call a friend because he seems to do everything right and you just want to emulate that,” says Parker Flynn, former ASU kicker and best friend of Bercovici. “I just know this kid is going to go places even after his football playing days are over.”

veryone on earth has found themselves looking up at a starry sky, asking the question, “Are we alone?”

This year, you can find an answer at the “Encounters: UFO Experience” exhibit at the Arizona State Fair through November 8.

“It’s a compilation of all the data, all the sightings, all the military involvement, and all the ancient alien research in one exhibit,” says Brian Bouquet, the organizer of the display.

While other exhibits, such as the Roswell UFO Museum in New Mexico, concentrate on individual cases, “Encounters” gathers a collection of the most mysterious and unsolvable events from the past century.

“There’s nothing like this,”

Bouquet says. “I want to give patrons a lot of information about the phenomenon and make it a fun and easy learning experience.”

The exhibit has been touring now for two summers, making the Arizona State Fair the third stop this year.

“Encounters” fills an entire building on the southern side of the fairgrounds, discernable by bright green aliens adorning the entrance. The first section has to do with ancient aliens, made popular by the successful History Channel video series.

“We almost did an entire exhibit on ancient aliens,” says Bouquet. “There’s so much information and discoveries on the subject.”

Beyond that, the exhibit takes you through various notable encounters and testi-

monials through history such as the Phoenix Lights, which were seen by thousands of residents back in 1997. Another encounter in Coyame, Mexico led to the death of 27 military personnel due to radiation poisoning. Neither of these phenomena have been solved or declassified by their respective government investigators.

“I love the storylines behind all of them,” Bouquet says.

“There’s a bunch of them that just don’t have answers.”

The rest of the exhibit explores what it could be like on an alien craft, complete with grotesque sea creatures in jars, and finally concludes with a section on aliens in pop culture, displaying replica props from “District 9,” “E.T.,” and the “Alien” franchise.

“It’s probable to think that

entertainment

another planet is ahead of us in technological advances,” Bouquet says.

He considers UFOs his hobby beside his job as an exhibition organizer, helping with popular expositions like “Titanic: The Experience” and “Bodies: The Exhibition.”

“This is one class of material that really doesn’t have any coverage in the museum world,” he says.

Bouquet has not personally experienced a UFO encounter and only feels partially

convinced that we’ve been visited by extraterrestrials.

But the idea itself is a draw for multiple reasons.

“We hope that there’s a different, maybe better world out there,” he says. “There’s also a mix of fantasy and science about it that makes it intriguing.”

Bouquet points out that top NASA scientists believe we will encounter alien civilization in ten or twenty years and that “it will change everything about how we think.”

“What will we say when we’re not alone in the universe anymore?” he says.

So in between petting goats and buying deep fried food, the “Encounters” exhibit will be waiting to help you explore one of the greatest mysteries of the world.

“I think people are hopeful that there’s something else out there,” Bouquet says.

The exhibit is an extra $5 on top of the State Fair entrance fee. Head to azstatefair. com for more information.

A MESSAGE OF KINDNESS

‘BROOKLYN’ STAR SAOIRSE RONAN ON HER NEW MOVIE JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

...THE HEART OF THIS MOVIE IS THAT SHE GETS ON WELL IN LIFE AND SHE GROWS, AND SHE GROWS INTO THIS AMAZING YOUNG WOMAN...

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 5, 2015

T

wenty-one-year-old actress Saoirse Ronan (“The Host,” “Atonement,” “Grand Budapest Hotel”) stars in the beautifully-done historical period drama, “Brooklyn,” a film directed

by John Crowley and released November 4. Her character Eilis Lacey is a young Irish immigrant in the 1950s who immigrates to Brooklyn by boat in the hopes of achieving the “American Dream.”

It seems the role of Eilis was crafted with Ronan in mind. She was born in New York and lived in Ireland with parents who were Irish immigrants like Eilis. College Times talked with Ronan about how the role helped her become the charming woman she is today and what she feels is the true message of “Brooklyn.”

College Times: How emotionally invested do you

think you were in the character of Eilis since you both come from New York and Ireland?

Ronan: These two places really very much made up who I am, but by the time we actually made the film, which was maybe a year or so after I had signed on, I had moved away from home and was living in London and was going through homesickness myself and still trying to figure out where I stood in the grown-up world.

It’s a very daunting feeling I think, and I was right in the middle of that while we were making the film, so it meant that every kind of stage that we see Eilis reaching and overcoming, I was going through myself. It was very scary because of that, because there was sort of nowhere to hide, but by the same token, once you actually get through something like that there’s nothing more gratifying.

When people go to see this movie, what do you want them to take away from it?

I think honestly, I mean John [Crowley, director] has put it really well whenever anyone’s asked, just to be kind

to people. I think the real—if there’s any message with this film, apart from the personal connections that everyone has seemed to have to us in one way or another, the heart of this movie is that she gets on well in life and she grows, and she grows into this amazing young woman because the people around her have been kind to her and they’ve helped her and they’ve shared advice and wisdom and their experience. And because of that, she has been able to, as I said, ultimately stand up and announce who she is and realize that she needs to make a choice. She wouldn’t have been able to do that at the start of the film, she wasn’t there yet. It’s really—it’s the people around her that helped her to come out of herself in order for her to get the confidence and have that security in who she is.

“Brooklyn” seems to draw a lot of its power and charm from the fact that it is a period piece and there’s a genuine disconnect, both cultural and communicative, between the two countries. Do you believe

that this story could effectively work in modern time in a world that’s reliant on Internet, Skype and social media?

Yes, actually I think it would be really interesting to see a similar journey be taken now, because we’ve all gone through it. We’ve all left home, gone to college, moved away to a different country or a different state, and regardless of how much technology enables us to communicate with the people we love, whether it’s over the phone or visually, obviously that does make it a little bit more bearable, but that feeling that you get when you move away and you realize that once you’ve moved away you can never kind of go back to how it was and is universal and is similar to anyone else who’s gone through it before, it’s similar. It’s the same feeling.

It hasn’t really changed. And so I think it would be really interesting in spite of the amount of communication we have now to see someone go through that and show that in spite of the amount of technology we have now, it’s still just as hard and it’s still just as heartbreaking for people.

THE MESA MUSIC FESTIVAL JUST MIGHT BE THE NEW SXSW CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

F

ormer MTV VJ Matt Pinfield has become one of Arizona’s biggest fans.

Pinfield, an on-air personality for Sirius XM’s Lithium, has visited with Maynard James Keenan of Tool at his Jerome home. He’s emceed Q Fests back in the day.

Now he’s returning to the state he loves to be the keynote speaker at the Mesa Music Festival Friday, November 13.

“I love the idea of the festival,” he says of the Friday, November 13, through Sunday, November 15, event.

The festival has been compared to South by Southwest, an annual festival in March in Austin, Texas, and melds original music, independent films and emerging technologies. SXSW, as

it’s dubbed, is primarily geared toward industry and media.

Pinfield says he and organizers are trying to pull in musicians and fans.

“SXSW is an incredible festival, but now it’s become less about music,” he says. “Music really pays for it. There’s a fashion side of it, a film side to it. I think that’s all incredibly important.

“But America needs a new festival that focuses on the music again and it’s a great thing. I’m not downing SXSW because I’ve had amazing experiences there.

The idea of a Mesa music festival in the new area of the country is incredible. They’re bringing in new and talented bands, the people on the fringe or the local artists like Authority Zero.”

In its inaugural year, the Mesa Music Festival is bringing in more than 200 artists from around the country to play in venues throughout the city, as well as along Main Street. Besides Authority Zero, some of the acts include teen singer-songwriter Rinsley, the Bumpin’ Uglies, Vintage Wednesday and Eric James.

Pinfield has supported music most of his life. He worked at local radio stations along the East Coast before DJing at the influential New Jersey club called The Melody Bar. During his time there, he befriended British alternative rock bands like Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Pop Will Eat Itself and The Wonder Stuff.

In 1995, he was hired to host MTV’s alternative video show,

MXAZ

“120 Minutes.” Four years later, he joined University Television and hosted farmclub.com, which aired in 2000 on the USA Network.

He jumped from there to the much-coveted position of vice president of A&R and artist development for Columbia Records, signing Coheed and Cambria.

Those are just some of Pinfield’s accomplishments.

He’s definitely excited about returning to Arizona. A wealth of knowledge about music, Pinfield says during his keynote talk he will stress to bands to not worry when patrons say you “suck.”

“Don’t be afraid to suck,” he says. “Learn your instruments and play. ‘American Idol’—I’m not trying to trash it, but focusing on

a voice instead of an instrument, I don’t understand. I understand why it was popular.

“But practice; it’s all trial and error. Play as many gigs as you can play. The thing is never worry about someone telling you you’re not good enough. Maybe you’re not the most fashionable, or have the best haircut, but tomorrow everything could change. Things change so suddenly in music. You should be putting your heart and soul into everything you do.”

You’re beginning to wonder if you should switch majors because the daily grind of working in an office sounds unappealing. Welcome to adulthood, where dreams get crushed. At least you’ll get a paycheck. Unless you get a liberal arts degree.

It’s time to fess up and admit that it’s just not working, Taurus. Your ’85 Ford Taurus, which you bought ironically, has seen its last days. RIP.

With the holidays coming in full force, maybe it’s time to let a few of those longheld grudges go. That barista didn’t mean to screw up your latte two days in a row, and word on the street is she’d like it a latte if you’d forgive her.

As finals approach, now is a great time to start attending class! And don’t ask the girl next to you for her notes again. She’s already planning an elaborate scheme to sabotage you. (The quiet, meek ones are always the most evil.)

Stop being a Li-bra and be a Li-bro, yo.

Your friend is going through some hard times. Be the bro you always knew you could be, bra.

Without a doubt, now is the time to pursue that hobby. Blow off some steam and invest in the thing you love, and although it’s super bizarre, we’ll try not to judge you for it. (But we’ll tell everyone anyway.)
