Virtual reality helps vets Smells help post traumatic stress disorder DARCIE VANCE Contributing Writer
Fresh cut grass, food smoking on a grill, mom’s homemade apple pie. Fragrance can trigger a memory in a split second. Each of these odors produces a specific personal memory. But for those who have just returned from Iraq or Afghanistan specific smells
can trigger good and bad memories experienced while at war. A new program at the UCF Anxiety Disorders Clinic in the Department of Psychology is using virtual reality, including smells, to help treat men and women who have returned from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan suffering from combat related post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Trauma Management Therapy Program, led by director of the UCF Anxiety Disorders Clinic and clinical psychology professor Dr. Deborah Beidel, is 17 weeks long and is free for all military personnel returning home from Iraq or Afghanistan. According to the U.S. Department of Veteran

A UCF area coordinator for the United Resident Student Association has won a state award at the Florida Association of Residence Halls state conference. Corey Tickner, a Nike community advisor, won the award after a bid was put together by his fellow staff members about his contribution to URSA this year. The bid was submitted to the state board of directors that review submissions and vote to select a winner. The Board of Directors consider not only those who help members with the organization, but those who help the organization on a personal level as well. “It was very humbling to win this award,” Tickner said in an email. “Often times as an adviser your work goes unrecognized, so I am very [appreciative] of the fact that my students felt so strongly about how I positively impact their experience that I was nominated for this award.” Ticker has been co-advising URSA for three years. As an adviser Tickner does a variety of tasks such as attending one-on-one meetings, conferences, attending programs and advising organizations. Alexandra Arroliga, president of URSA, meets with Tickner on a regular basis and has been impressed with his performance since the get-go. “Corey is an awesome adviser,” she said. “He is very professional and likes to get down to business,

Senate passes $17 million Activity Service Fee budget

The Student Government Association Senate voted 29-5 on April 7 to pass the 2011-2012 Activity & Service Fee Budget. The $17 million budget, made up of the $10.79 that UCF students pay per credit hour, will take effect in July and fund 33 registered student organizations and almost 18 agencies/departments including SGA. “It was a much smoother process this year,” said A&SF Budget Committee chairman Josh Miller, who also served on the committee the year before. Last year’s biggest item of contention was the MSC Funding Board, which received zero funding; this year it was lobbying firm GrayRobinson. Miller said he knew before the special session that the lobbying firm would cause some disagreement among senators. “I think there was a little bit of misunderstanding [about what they do],” Miller said. “When you’re allocating a big
Two men had fought prior to shooting According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, 32-year-old Courtney Yates got into a fight with another man early Saturday. Authorities say about 90 minutes later, Yates was confronted by 26-year-old Jontavis Williams, a friend of the other man. Williams allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband and shot Yates in the chest and then again in the back when Yates tried to run. Witnesses told authorities that Yates collapsed and begged Williams to stop shooting. Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Debbie Carter says Williams then shot Yates in the head, killing him. Carter says Williams turned himself in to authorities Saturday evening. Williams was held without bond.

Do you agree with the budget? www.UCFNews.com chunk of money, they get very hesitant.” A member of GrayRobinson, which was budgeted at $56,500, was on hand to answer any questions senators had about what they do for UCF. Senate attempted to pass a provision that would require the executive branch to obtain three bids from various law firms, but it failed. One of the changes made during the special session was the addition of a line under the Student Union that will provide $2,500 toward a bike cooperative. Another change that was made was the moving of $24,960 from the Repair & Replacement line of the Activity & Service Fee Business Office to the Other Personal Services line of the Office of Student Involvement for a Graduate Student Center. The 33 out of the 48 RSOs that requested funding are receiving $285,400, which is almost $6,000 less than they received last year. Seventy-two RSOs requested funds last year and 43 of those received funding. Of the RSOs, the Greek Council is getting the largest chunk of money with $42,000, which is $2,000 more than they received last year. The group to receive the least with $2,400 is the Biology Graduate Student Association,
which didn’t receive any funding last year. The department to receive the most money was the Recreation & Wellness Center with about $5.3 million out of a total of approximately $16.7 million for agencies/departments. Instead of allocating funds to satellite campuses’ SGA, $144,500 will be used toward student outreach services, specifically an online assessment platform known as StudentVoice. “The whole point eventually is to turn this into an agency,” Miller said. “It’s to outreach to more nontraditional students, grad students, regional campuses, Rosen, students who are older or very much younger.” A line item that’s brand new to the budget this year is the All Knight Study space that opened on March 21. The space has been budgeted $73,400. KnightLynx, which launched Jan. 28, was budgeted $110,000 — more than two times what it was allotted in the previous fiscal budget. “Overall, I’m extremely happy with the entire budget process and exactly how much KnightLynx received,” said KnightLynx director and vice president-elect Adam Brock. “I think this gives us enough room to grow as a brand new service here and for the implementation of a few new amenities for the program, which includes possibly new routes, new days and different things along those lines.”

Mayor: Over half of Iowa town damaged by tornado GRANT SCHULTE Associated Press
A large tornado flattened a grain elevator and destroyed homes and buildings on its weekend rampage through the small western Iowa town of Mapleton. Authorities reported no serious injuries. “It was huge, just huge,” said Thomas Mohrhauser, an attorney in the town of about 1,200 people. “It just kept getting bigger and bigger.” Mohrhauser said the tornado appeared to be about a quarter-mile wide when it cut a northwest path through town Saturday evening. Mayor Fred Standa said one side of town got hit worse than another, but overall he thought about 60 percent had been damaged. He estimated about 20 percent was “almost flat.” Reports indicated the roof was blown off a high school, power lines were downed and several homes and buildings were destroyed. Authorities said three people were treated for minor injuries at Burgess Health Center in Onawa, about 20 miles from Mapleton. “We had a few people with cuts,” Standa said Sunday morning. “But nothing real bad, so we’re lucky there.” The huge, centuries-old trees the town was named for had been pulled out of the ground and wrapped around houses and tossed on top of cars, the mayor said. In one case, a huge motor home had been flipped on its side, he said. “It’s not a pretty sight,” Standa said. “It’s something nobody has seen in this town.” The Iowa National Guard was on the scene,
and the National Weather Service had dispatched a team to assess damage. While the town had been barricaded because of safety concerns about gas leaks and other damage, Standa said it reopened Sunday morning. Galen Bollig, who lives about 2 miles northwest of Mapleton, told the Sioux City Journal he saw the tornado form and come through town. “When you first get into town, there’s not a grain bin standing,” he said. He added, “There’s not a window left in a single car, and the garages are all lying flat.” Gov. Terry Branstad issued an emergency proclamation covering Mapleton and surrounding Monana County on Saturday so the state could spend money to respond to the storm, his office said. He planned to tour Mapleton on Sunday. The tornado hit Mapleton, which is about 40 miles southeast of Sioux City, about 7:20 p.m. Saturday, National Weather Service meteorologist Van DeWald said. Authorities had no immediate calculation of its intensity. Frank Boksa, a weather service meteorologist in Johnston, said another tornado touched down near the Sac County town of Early, but there appeared to be little damage. KCAU-TV in Sioux City showed footage of gutted buildings, debris scattered across roadways and emergency vehicles with sirens flashing as crews searched the damaged and destroyed buildings. “We’re going door by door to make sure everybody’s out,” Joe Rodriguez, of Sioux City’s Urban Search and Rescue Task Force, told KCAU-TV.

Tickner’s colleagues admire his good attitude FROM A1 but he also loves to just let go and be silly and joke around with the members and I.” Arroliga said Tickner has a lot of knowledge about housing and resident life and that he gives great advice about what needs to be done. She was also glad to see that Tickner had a lot of student support. “He is an adviser that is there for their members professionally and personally,” Arroliga said. “I personally was ecstatic when they announced that he was the winner.” Tickner’s colleagues said that he works hard throughout the day to make sure everything in the Nike community runs
smoothly and that whenever there is an incident, Tickner immediately takes measures to handle it. Lindsey Branham, a coworker of Tickner’s, said she has always admired Tickner’s attitude toward his job. “He works a lot with conduct. He does an excellent job to keep the community safe,” she said. Branham has worked with Tickner since the start of the fall 2010 semester. She said that as soon as she met him she was excited to work with him because he is very personable, professional and organized. She said he has always been a great resource, which makes her job easier. “It’s nice to have a supervisor who can be
relaxed and humorous,” Branham said. Though he is relaxed, Tickner knows when to be professional and he always ensures things get done, according to co-workers who helped put the bid together. “Tickner is very hardworking,” Branham said. “He regularly goes above and beyond what needs to be done and strives to improve the Nike community. He challenges his staff members to do better. He is always reliable and staff members know they can count on him. Branham also said Tickner is a great mentor. “He will help you find the goals that you want to achieve, then he will help you in the steps to reach them.”

Sigma Nu’s run raises $675, 1,000 pounds of clothes FROM A1 $675 in donations attended this year’s event. This was a significant increase to last year’s event, which raised $250 and 653 pounds of clothes. Lebowitz said Sigma Nu chose Goodwill Industries as the
organization to receive the donations because of the positive influence they have on the community, from providing clothes to providing job opportunities for people in need of assistance. Lebowitz said Mu Psi chose Knight-Thon because as UCF’s largest phi-
lanthropy, they felt it could be of great benefit to the community. Lebowitz said the idea behind running on campus in underwear for a particular cause had been done in other universities such as the University of Florida. Arizona State holds its famous annual Undie Run each May. According to a Sigma Nu news release, the University of California at Los Angeles underwear runs for charity has exceeded 8,000 participants. Lebowitz and his fraternity brothers began working on the event six months ago. In the future, they are hoping to extend the tradition they began last year and augment the number of participants and donations. “The hardest thing when we planned the event was
the marketing,” Lebowitz said. “It’s hard to make students show up to the event and run in their underwear, that’s why we used Facebook and displayed signs on campus
to attract their attention.” Lebowitz believes students should take advantage of the chance to participate in events that fun and allows you to do something out the of the
ordinary. “College only happens once and what a better way to live it up with your friends and at the same time do something for a great cause,” he said.

PTSD program offers therapy through exposure FROM A1 Affairs, 11 to 20 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans have suffered from PTSD. “The first part of the treatment for all 60 veterans is five weeks of individual exposure sessions,” said Dr. Sandra Neer, research assistant professor for the program. “Exposure therapy is the most effective treatment that we have for PTSD and participants will receive one-on-one treatment using the Virtual-Reality equipment to simulate specific combat zones that have been the cause of nightmares, flashbacks or intrusive thoughts.” During the sessions the veteran is exposed to detailed scenes and scents based on each person’s specific trauma. The veteran will wear headgear and headphones while controlling a joystick to simulate events that occurred during their time in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. The veteran could be walking in the heart of a Middle Eastern city and view specific events such as cars blowing up or people calling the veteran names. The program varies and is personalized to fit each individual’s needs. The smells used in the program are weapon fire, body odor, burning rubber, diesel fuel, Moroccan spices, garbage and cordite, a type of gun powder. These smells are controlled by the researcher and released at specific times during the exposure session. The researcher can control everything the veteran is experiencing, picking the sights, sounds and even weather.
“They will be immersed in the scene — smelling the smells and seeing the sights,” Neer said. During the exposure sessions the veteran’s anxiety is measured to determine how the veteran is responding to the treatment. Over the five weeks of individual sessions, the researchers will monitor the veteran’s progress, determining their improvement in the program. After the five weeks of personal-exposure sessions the group of 60 veterans in the study will be placed in small groups of four to six people. For the last 12 weeks of the program half of the veterans will receive group therapy treatment that focuses on anger management, interpersonal skills, and behavioral activation to deal with feelings of depression. “We will use group therapy to help participants readjust to life in the United States,” Neer said. The other half of the group will receive more typical group treatment for PTSD which uses support groups of veterans to help group members share their experiences and give advice to help each other. “Our No. 1 goal is to determine what is the most effective treatment for veterans with post traumatic stress disorder,” Neer said. The treatment program is funded by a threeyear $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Army’s Military Operations Medical Research Program, which is part of the Department of Defense. It is the first large-scale clinical research program that will incorporate smell

into the specialized VirtualReality sessions for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. The Trauma Management Therapy Program is free for all servicemen and women who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, including people who are
members of the Reserve and National Guard. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder listed on the program’s information sheet include: Re-experiencing the events of recent combat, avoiding events or situations that remind you of your
combat experiences, feeling numb or feeling detached from others, trouble sleeping, trouble concentrating or feeling extremely irritable. Veterans with these symptoms are encouraged to call the Anxiety Disorders clinic; an official PTSD diag-
nosis is not needed to participate. For a screening call 407823-1668. “If a candidate is not appropriate for this specific study we will help them get treatment elsewhere,” Neer said.

Overload galleries to run through April 29 FROM A1 lighting. It took Leiba about 24 hours and 12 people all working at the same time to finalize the execution of the gallery on campus. The displayed artists began working on the exhibition in early January because of the time requirements needed to set up an art gallery. “Putting an art gallery together is not easy at all,” Leiba said. “From the very first start to the very end you always have to pay attention to detail; whether that’s organizing the room, laying out individual artworks, or making sure the food is served, everything has a specific purpose.” This is Leiba’s first gallery setup, which was a rewarding challenge because she learned all the implications of working under pressure and satisfying an audience.

SOFTBALL
Avoiding a sweep, the Knights rallied in the bottom of the ninth against Tulane on Sunday to escape the three-game series with a win. D.J. Hicks hit a two-run walk-off single to score Ronnie Richardson and Travis Shreve and give the Knights an 8-7 victory. It was UCF’s only win in the three-game weekend series against the Green Wave. The Knights had just come off an upset-win over the No. 4 Florida Gators the previous Tuesday. The Tulane series loss is the second consecutive Conference USA loss for the Knights, who were swept by Southern Miss last weekend. “It takes a lot of guts and pride two win this type of game,” Knights head coach Terry Rooney said. “It takes a lot, when you’re down with your backs against the wall, and it really speaks volumes of these kids.” The Knights entered the ninth down 7-4. Ryan Breen and Beau Taylor both walked to start of off the inning. Derek Luciano and Shreve both produced RBI
After starting out slow, Erik Hempe now owns the third-highest average on the Knights baseball team. The right fielder started his week with a homer against Florida, homered again against Tulane (his third of the season) in Game One and went 3-for-4 in Game Two. Though Hempe and Ryan Breen have been sharing the right field position, Hempe’s average and production should keep him in the starting role for Tuesday’s game. Hempe, a junior college transfer, will be facing the Owls for the first time on Tuesday in the first of a home-and-home series with Florida Atlantic. The Knights will travel to Boca Raton this week and the Owls will make the return trip to Orlando on April 19.
Starting pitcher Chase Bradford, who faced the Owls last season also, will take the mound on Tuesday. Bradford pitched five innings of relief, coming to the mound in the second inning. He struck out four and only gave up one run in the 14-3 UCF victory. Bradford earned his first start as a Knight against

A.J. Rompza: UCF’s ambassador to Chicago WES GOLDBERG Staff writer
A.J. Rompza is known for his hustle on the court, but it may be off the court where he has done the most work for the UCF basketball program. Rompza, who often shifts from fan-favorite, team-leading point guard to relentless recruiter, was the first of many Chicagoans to join the UCF basketball team. “A.J. is a conduit for the program,” said former UCF associate head coach Mike Jaskulski, who is now at UAB. “He is a great ambassador for the university and the basketball program.” It was Jaskulski who recruited Rompza from Whitney M. Young High School — a Magnet school with a nationally recognized basketball program that competes in the Chicago public-league circuit. Three years ago while at UCF, Jaskulski was looking to add a point guard. “I called people in Chicago that I trusted. The name that kept popping up was A.J. Rompza,” Jaskulski said, who has been recruiting the Chicago area since the mid ’80s. After his senior year, Rompza took an unofficial visit to Orlando. “I just fell in love with the campus,” Rompza said. “And being so far away from home, I wanted to go somewhere where the guys were like family for me.” Rompza sought to expand that family by bringing in someone he had played with in high school. After his freshman year, he convinced teammate and friend Marcus Jordan to visit the university. Jordan, who was being
recruited by many schools such as Marquette and Stanford, committed to UCF after making his visit in early April. “He told me it was a fun system to play in at the time and that the fans come out and show support every game,” Jordan said. Rompza landed his first big recruit. “After my freshman year [people in Chicago], started to hear about [UCF]. They knew I did well and then the country heard about it when Marcus came here,” Rompza said. “A lot of people are wearing UCF stuff in Chicago right now.” With two former Chicago stars at UCF, the stage was set for Rompza to expand his family even more. After his sophomore season, former head coach Kirk Speraw was dismissed and Donnie Jones was hired from Marshall. Jones began recruiting and Rompza did, as well. First was power forward Dwight McCombs, a teammate of Rompza and Jordan at Whitney Young. McCombs was previously at Moraine Valley Community College, in Illinois. Also added were transfers Josh Crittle from the University of Oregon, who played against A.J. in Chicago, and Marcus’s brother Jeff Jordan, from the University of Illinois. “It’s so much pressure off you because you’re with a bunch of people that you know and played with before,” Rompza said. Jordan, who is coming off of a breakout year, believes that playing with players he knew from high school helped the team have success this season. “Being on the court together, that chemistry is

already there,” Jordan said. “I think we feed off each other really well.” Rompza still talks to people about UCF when he visits his home town. “I do as much as I can when I go back to my high school,” Rompza said. “I let those guys know, but they know how special it is. My high school did really well this year. They got some big guys but they are much younger, so I’m going to have to talk to them after I leave.” Among Rompza’s selling points are the weather, the campus, the new UCF Arena and the practice facilities. “That’s huge because it’s really only the top schools that have places you can work out 24 hours,” Rompza said of UCF’s practice facilities. “I think people that really want to improve their game and really love basketball are interested in stuff like that.” Jaskulski believes that the success of Rompza, Jordan and the others help make UCF an appealing

destination for players from Chicago. “There have been a couple of guys who have had success at UCF and for those kids [in Chicago] that want to get out of the cold and snow, UCF is definitely on their radar,” Jaskulski said. Jordan said that people
in Chicago are learning more about UCF, and that last season’s 14-0 start helped expose people to the program. “They are definitely watching and we are going to try not to disappoint them,” Jordan said. Jordan described his friend as “the ringleader.”
Rompza, however, said what he is doing is something less mob-like and more modest. “People always tell me you want to leave stuff better than the way you found it,” Rompza said. “If I know that I can make the program better, I’m going to do whatever it takes.”

Saturday injuries hamper Worton, Davis ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor
The Knights had their first scary moment of the spring April 9 at Bright House Networks Stadium, seeing two key players
leave practice with injuries. Running back-turnedlinebacker Jonathan Davis was taken to the hospital as a precaution for a neck injury that was later downgraded to a ‘stinger.’ The junior, who had a
hand in the running back position last year, was expected to see more playing time this year at linebacker, a unit lacking in experience this year. Wide receiver J.J. Worton left practice with a dis-
Closing pitching a problem FROM A7 singles to make the score 76. Richardson walked, and with the bases loaded with one out, Hicks hit his walkoff single. “I was anxious before the at-bat, coach had to talk me down,” Hicks said. “I took a bad swing at the first pitch, but luckily the pitcher came back and put something up so I could put it in play. It felt amazing to win in this type of fashion after two tough conference losses.” Rooney was more than pleased with Hicks’ effort. “D.J. is clutch, he’s a winner, always has been, always will be,” Rooney said. “This morning we put up a roster in the dugout that listed all 33 players. I told the team all 33 players had to be determined to get the job done today and Hicks was one of those guys.” The Knights offense struggled early in the game but their bats came alive when it counted, scoring all of their runs in the sixth inning or later. The team was down 7-0 at one point in the game but the Knights finished the game out hitting Tulane 14-10. Hicks and Jonathan Griffin both had home runs in the game and are tied for the team lead with seven. Hicks went 2-for-5 at the
plate, batting in four RBI’s and scoring a run. The Knights were forced to use five different pitchers in the game due to a rough start from Ray Hanson. After Hanson allowed four runs in 2/3 innings, Danny Winkler entered in relief. Winkler pitched 4-2/3 innings, striking out three and giving up one run. Winkler left the game in the fifth inning due to cramps in his right leg. Bryan Brown, Johnny Sedlock and Joe Rogers pitched the last 3-2/3 innings. Rogers got the win pitching 1.2 innings, striking out one, and not allowing any runs. “At the end of the day, somebody’s got to rise up,” Rooney said. “The only stat that matters is wins and losses, and at the end of the day somebody’s got to throw this team on their shoulders and say, ‘Let’s go,’ and somebody’s got to step up.” In Saturday’s 6-5 loss, starting pitcher Ben Lively pitched six innings and struck out eight but earned a no decision in the contest. Reliever Nick Cicio got the loss. It was a back-and-forth all game with multiple lead-changes. UCF scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the score. Erik Hempe and Luciano, who singled and walked,
both scored. Hempe finished the day 3-for-4 with one run. The Green Wave took their lead back in the eighth and scored on a wild pitch in the ninth to cushion their lead. The Knights rallied in the bottom half of the inning but only scored one run and left three on to end the game. Tulane shocked the Knights in Game One, 10-8. Richardson was tagged with his first career loss with 2/3 innings in relief. Richardson came in for a save-situation but gave up a three-run home run in the ninth. With two on in the bottom of the ninth, the Knights couldn’t capitalize. Brian Adkins made his first career Friday night start against the Green Wave. Adkins, who faced Tulane last season, pitched six innings and gave up four runs on six hits with one strikeout. Matt Collins came in for 1/3 inning of relief but was pulled with the bases loaded. Rogers replaced him on the mound for two innings, loaded the bases, hit a batter and gave up four runs. With one out in the ninth, Richardson came in from center field to close the game. Jeremy Schaffer, the Green Wave’s designated hitter, hit the game-winning home run in the ninth.
located ankle, to which the extent is not known. Worton, a redshirt freshman, was having an impressive spring and was seeing increased playing time with the starting unit. Head coach George O’Leary is hoping that Worton will be back to preinjury form by August. Last Saturday’s scrimmage at Bright House Networks Stadium was the second time the Knights scrimmaged there this spring. UCF will take to the stadium again in the annual Black vs. Gold spring
game April 16, which is open to the public. Tickets are $5 and children under 12 and students will be admitted free.
Notes — There was another kick-off between the punters and kickers. UCF’s starting kicker job is up for grabs between Nick Cattoi, Jamie Boyle and Irelandborn newcomer Sean Galvin. Another name soon to be added into the mix is preferred freshman walk-on Shawn Moffitt from Dr. Phillips High
School, who will be here in the fall. — Even though quarterbacks are off-limits from contact in practice, the defensive line had no problem penetrating the pocket during the scrimmage and getting many would-be sacks. Defensive tackle E.J. Dunston frequently got to starting quarterback Jeff Godfrey. — Before his injury occurred, Worton was targeted frequently by backup quarterback Blake Bortles and made a few nice catches.

OUR STANCE
Green cards for grads is viable I
n late March, President John Hitt suggested yet another innovative idea that could help make our university a better place: green cards for graduates. When a student comes to the United States to earn a degree, they are given an F-1 visa, which allows them to study here legally. After graduation, however, the student is given a period of 60 days to either leave the country or transfer to a different school. Hitt’s idea is to give students in engineering or science a green card when they earn their diploma. This would allow these students to use what they learned in the U.S. to contribute back to our workforce in the areas where we need it most. It isn’t logical to pit our recently graduated international students against us in the international market. The fields of science and engineering are always expanding and are always in need of the most talented, innovative minds. We want America to be the best in these fields but we won’t achieve that if we’re turning away intelligent, capable individuals. Right now, Hitt’s idea is in its infancy and it was only recently unveiled at “The Voices of Smart Power” panel. However, there are a few provisions that should
be implemented in order for Hitt’s plan to work. It’s possible for a student barely squeak by graduation — “C’s get degrees” — which is something we want to avoid with international students. In order for someone to graduate from UCF’s Aerospace Engineering, he or she needs to have only a 2.0 grade point average, or a C average. If these international students are really serious about earning both a green card and a degree then they should at least strive for a GPA that’s above the UCF average. One international student at “The Voices of Smart Power” panel suggested that international students often work harder than American students, so achieving this shouldn’t be terribly difficult. The same student also noted that if this idea were to be implemented it would be too popular and UCF wouldn’t be able to accommodate for all the international students. In response to this, we believe it’s only fair that UCF not shift its admission standards to accommodate for international students. In addition to this, we think these students should also have to pass the citizenship test, just like any other immigrant. Offering green cards to certain graduates would be a
great way to increase UCF’s diversity and enhance the educational experience for students and teachers. A college education should go beyond what is taught in the classroom; students should be given the opportunity to experience different cultures and interact with people different than themselves. Although only in its infancy, we like the sound of Hitt’s idea and we hope to see it carried through; we truly believe the American workforce should benefit from talented individuals who received an American education. We also hope Hitt waits a long time before designing and implementing this plan. The idea of giving green cards to graduates has been discussed among both scholars and politicians, but nothing has ever been done about it. A change as major as offering green cards to international students should be something that is wellthought-out and thoroughly planned. We should use a trial-and-error method; we should take our time. UCF should not be the first to experiment with this notion, we should take the back seat on this one and follow the example of another school to see how something like this could be done.

my own campus because I do not feel that Chick-fil-a can justify being judgmental when God is not. — ANONYMOUS
As a UCF student that identifies as both a lesbian AND as a Christian — I think that what Chick-fil-a is doing is completely absurd. Instead of donating their money toward a cause that preaches love like Christianity does, they are promoting a discrimination toward love. How about their money going toward something that shows the acceptance that God offers to everybody instead? This is why Chick-fil-a should be protested. I do not support it on
I am sure Rebecca Marques doesn’t hate Christians. I believe she does not like that a restaurant supported by UCF faculty and students that supports organizations that are homophobic. Also, I don’t find the article slanted. The owner of the restaurant declined and interview. However, the Chikfil-a president did have a comment that was included in the article. So how is it slanted? — ANONYMOUS
