Sept. 20 at 11:30 a.m. marked the dedication ceremony of John and Leona Gehring Hall. Formerly known as the Henry C. Lee building, Gehring Hall is now the new home to the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences.

Students, faculty, staff and administration gathered in the Maxcy Quad as the UNH Marching Band entertained the large crowd with a selection of songs.

“It’s really great to see our alumni give back to the university and benefiting future generations who will walk through the halls of UNH,” said Undergraduate Student Government Association President Zani Imetovski.

Junior criminal justice majors Jenna Henning and Ali Shapiro were thankful as well.

“If someone is able to donate that much, we should definitely name something after them like a building,” Shapiro said.

“It’s pretty great that someone could donate that much,” Henning

This year, the addition of a new area of study, wildlife forensics, advances the field for forensics even further.

“This institution has contributed to bringing wrongdoers to justice, as well as freeing those wrongly convicted,” Gaboury added.

Graduate student Corey Scott shared his experiences working with the FBI in New York and Connecticut. He came back to UNH for his masters because of the excellent forensic science program.

“At times people ask, ‘Why are you coing back? You graduated.’

And I say...I’ve toured the country looking for different programs, and when you’ve started at the top, you really can’t go further,” Scott said.

Junior accounting major Noumso Kaba also expressed her thanks to the Gehring family for their contribution to the College of Business by describing her own scholarship needs.

“The scholarship that I received has helped lighten my financial burden and has allowed me to focus on my studies and tutor in the CLR,” she said.

The one thing she loved about the program was the fact that many professors have experienced working in the business world, much like John and Leona Gehring.

Kaplan opened the ceremony by reading a letter from Dr. Henry Lee, thanking the Gehrings for their gracious donation to the program.

The couple’s generous gift establishes the John R. and Leona M. Gehring Endowed Scholarship Fund for College of Business students and the John R. Gehring Endowed Professorship in Business Administration. John R. and Leona M. Gehring Endowed Forensic Research and Training Advancement Fund at the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science.

The Gehrings’ support will make it possible for even more students to pursue their education at the university.

Dean of the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Mario T. Gaboury thanked the Gehrings for their outstanding contribution to the institution.

“You really can’t overstate the importance of the Henry Lee Institute of Forensic Science here at the University of New Haven, as well as the impact that this institution has had on our world,” Gaboury said.

New research involving high pressure DNA can be found within the institution; UNH is also the only college in the nation that uses the IBIS firearms system.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– Maxine Swick from Long Island, NY, has been hired as the new graduate assistant for the Office of Community Service at the University of New Haven. Swick earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Albany, and is now working on her masters in Industrial Organizational at UNH. Through her new position, she is available for any student, club, or organization that is looking for an opportunity to volunteer in the community. She abides by the Office of Community Service’s mission statement for being responsible for the well-being of the surrounding community and raising awareness about the community’s need.

“Volunteering provides people with an important experience and opportunity for personal growth

that you can’t get in other areas of life. As a volunteer, you can always give as little, or as much, as you want; making the experience unique for yourself. With all the opportunities around campus, it can change not only the volunteer’s life, but it can make someone smile and change their life as well,” said Swick.

As the graduate assistant, Swick is in charge of coordinating programs and works to promote civic engagement by offering various community service opportunities throughout the year. She sends out monthly emails to the student body about the volunteer opportunities that are coming up and gives the students a chance to email her and get involved. Some events coming up for the month of October include a Community Walk at Savin Rock Conference Center, Tommy Fund Family Day at C.T. Tennis Center at Yale, a Shubert Community Event at Shubert Theater, Fiesta Latina at the Yale Peabody

Museum and the Wicked Good 5k at Lighthouse Point Park.

Along with the monthly community service events, she is also in charge of two main community service events; Alternate Spring Break and the President Public Service Fellowship.

Alternate Spring Break gives students the opportunity to stay on campus over spring break and work in teams giving back to the community at various locations.

This program helps students build teamwork and leadership skills, and benefits greater causes by making a huge impact on the community. Any student interested, can apply at the end of the fall semester through the Office of Community Service.

The President Public Service Fellowship is for highly qualified UNH students. For eleven weeks during the months of summer break, students are provided on campus housing and given a See GRADUATE page 3

The University of New Haven women’s soccer team (3-0-2) went into double overtime against ninth ranked Assumption (2-0-2), which concluded in a 1-1 draw.

Both teams remain unbeaten to the start of their 2013 campaign, while New Haven moved to a (10-1) standing in the Northeast-10 conference.

The Chargers opened up the scoring within the first four minutes of the game by a goal from New Haven’s Amber Simms, assisted by Monica Yanez. The tempo was high from the get go, as New Haven took control of most of the possession for the opening 15 minutes of the game. The Greyhounds found their footing near the end of the first half, and forced more than a few saves from New Haven’s goalkeeper, Natasha Purchla. Assumption players were finally able to grab an equalizing goal three minutes from halftime from their own Andrea Bates.

The second half took off right away when New Haven’s, Amber Simms, broke through the defense and shot straight at the Greyhounds goalkeeper, Rachel Edgin, who was able to make the save. New Haven had even more chances from the constant pressure Courtney Marra was providing all game from just outside the box. She had full range to dribble along the sideline just barely keeping the ball in bounce to send in multiple crosses for the majority of the game.

Five minutes from the end of regulation time, the Chargers had one of the best chances to take the lead off a corner when Assumption goalkeeper missed clearing the ball away. The ball just teased New Haven’s Marisa Garcia, who was ready to strike before one of the greyhound players near the goal managed to kick the ball long down the field.

After the first 90 minutes had resulted in a 1-1 result, the game went into overtime. Overtime is settled in a golden goal style in which the first team to score wins.

There are two overtime periods, each 10 minutes long with a twominute break in between.

The Blue side was closest to scoring, just grazing the ball inches away from the post. The New Haven side had the best attempts at a goal off of multiple corners, but was unable to find the goal.

Ultimately both teams had to settle with a tie to end the game. New Haven’s Natasha Purchla, made a record high 14 saves to help preserve their unbeaten streak.

The Chargers head to Bentley College for another NE-10 match up.

UNH Dedicates Health Center to Alumnus Alexander W. Nicholson Jr.

ceived his bachelor’s degree in business administrative.

In 1978, he returned to the university and received his EMBA. Nicholson was successful in his career, setting an alltime record in Connecticut as a first-year agent at New York Life. He later founded his own fire and casualty insurance agency with his uncle in 1971.

Despite all his success, Nicholson was still heavily involved with UNH. Since his time as a student here, he has contributed to more than twenty UNH programs.

“I’ve always been a lucky man,” Nicholson said. “I can trace every good thing that has happened in my life to UNH; they’ve been like one big family ever since I got here 52 years ago.”

Nicholson has been working with the people in the health center for over

30 years, and he received constant requests from Paula Cappucia, Director of Health Services, for help. “Thanks to Al and Karen, our number one goal of providing excellent high quality care to the students is possible to achieve,” Cappucia said in celebratory remark.

“It is no question in my mind that Paula is the glue that held the health center together for the past 30 years, and it’s time I gave back,” Nicholson said.

Zani Imetovski, President of the Undergraduate Student Government Association, said the Nicholson’s gift impacts and improves the lives of many students on campus, and regards Nicholson as an “excellent alumni role model.”

Nicholson received three degrees from UNH and was extremely successful in his career, but never forgot his

because there was an immense garbage dump around it. This was a point where people were considering moving away and finding a better, more suitable, place to live.

Then Carter came and changed things for the better.

She had a fiery passion and dedication to having people change what they didn’t like in their own communities.

After seeing what she has accomplished, some people see her as a woman on a mission to change the things that she has seen around her, which she doesn’t agree with. She came to the understanding that she, along with her neighbors and friends, were the keys to their community. Where some people were moving, she stood fast on the idea that, “you don’t have to move out of your neighborhood to live in a better one.”

Carter focuses not solely on the big picture (which as she points out “can be overwhelming”), but on the smaller things that can be changed. Carter and her team targeted waste, then employment, and their advances worked as a chain reaction for other accomplishments in the long run.

She got a three million dollar grant from the mayor to build a park, and created the Bronx Environmental Stewardship Training program,

which employs people and works to “alleviate poverty and rejuvenate the South Bronx community.” Graduates of this program have an 85% employment rate. By focusing a little bit at a time on the ways they wanted their community to improve, they were able to alter the big picture. The point, Carter discusses, is to “figure out how to meet the needs in such a way that people see their own self-interests being addressed,” so that they have internal motivation to take action.

The crowd was mixed with the students from common courses, as well as adults who had been informed of the presentation. The audience seemed impressed when, in their opinion, she gave good points and things to focus on. What people appreciated was being able to see the improvements that were made and at what had been accomplished.

After Carter’s presentation, audience members were curious as to how they would develop that starting idea and what first step should be. When the floor was opened to questions from the audience a woman, who was touched at the changes Carter had been able to make, asked how one get’s that first idea, and what the first step one makes should be. The audience

roots as a Charger.

The new, updated sign was unveiled to a drum roll, and plaques were gifted to both Nicholson and his wife.

The marching band, directed by Jason DeGroff, played as guests arrived for the ceremonial unveiling of the center, and students stood around, holding hand-made signs bearing the message “Thank you, Mr. Nicholson!” Members of the athletics department including the men’s basketball team and the men’s and women’s cross country teams also showed their gratitude by attending the ceremony.

“Al Nicholson instills the importance of giving back to the UNH community,” said Phil Bartels, chair of the UNH Board of Governors.

Students and faculty members of the University of New Haven filled the Alumni Lounge in Bartels on Sept. 18, to listen to prize-winning poet Tyehimba Jess share and lecture about his poems.

UNH assistant English professor, Randall Horton, introduced Jess and his extensive works in poetry, which have been published in several professional anthologies and journals. Jess is a National Poetry Series winner for his publically acclaimed book of poetry, “Lead Belly.” Jess was also featured in “Ted Talks,” to share his unique style of poetry.

During his presentation, Jess read one of the poems from “Lead Belly,” but mostly shared poems from his upcoming book, “Olio.”

Jess noted that much of the yet-to-be-published book would be comprised of syncopated sonnets, in which the reader has the interpretation and freedom to read however he or she chooses.

Jess also talked about the concept of a crown of sonnets, which allows readers to jump from one sonnet to the next, and continuously keep reading. Jess emphasized this concept by passing out his poems folded as such in a Moebius strip, which held never-ending sonnets.

The bulk of the poems read were centered around

––––––––––––––––––––– The University of New Haven dedicated Health Services in honor of Alexander W. Nicholson Jr. Sept. 20, at 3:30 p.m.

Nicholson and his wife Karen, their family, friends, members of the Board of Governors, alumni, students and faculty alike gathered at the entrance of the newly appointed Nicholson Health Center to honor Nicholson’s generous donation to the university.

“Al Nicholson’s gift has transformed the health center,” President Steven Kaplan said as he opened the ceremony. The entrance of the Nicholson Center may look modest, Kaplan said, but the inside is a huge expansion of what it was before.

The Nicholson Health Center is located on the ground floor in the northeast corner of Sheffield Hall and is the primary provider of medical care on campus.

The Nicholson family’s donation was used to update the medical equipment and state-of-the-art exam rooms in the Health Center.

Nicholson grew up in New Haven, and after returning from tour in Korea with the U.S. Army in 1961, he attended the University of New Haven, which was called New Haven College at that time. He earned an associate degree in 1963, and, two years later, re-

Jess used his experiences in slam poetry to entertain and draw the crowd in when reading his poems aloud.

The audience had the privilege of getting insight to these upcoming poems and learning what inspired Jess to write them.

At the end, students were given the opportunity to ask Jess direct questions. When asked about how he distinguished between historical accuracy and creative interpretation, Jess responded with, “I wanted to get the facts right, but I wanted to have fun playing in the facts.”

Action not Ignorance; “I Can Do Something!”

By PATRICIA OPREA and BRENDA BUSUULWA STAFF WRITERS

Many individuals are fond of complaining about their community, with the thought that getting out as fast as possible is their only solution to a better life.

Even at our university, it is not foreign to hear people talk with disdain about New Haven. But what if citizens improved their communities instead of fleeing from them? What if everyone joined together and put the energy they use to complain, into creating a neighborhood they are proud of?

Urban environmental activist Majora Carter spoke to the University of New Haven students and faculty on Tuesday September 17.

Her presentation, “Green in the Ghetto,” encompassed her journey in the improvement of urban communities.

Majora Carter grew up in the Bronx in a low income and low education community where flight of people from her neighborhood was an all-too-familiar sight.

Where she lived there were plenty of drop outs and fossil fuel emissions and the people considered themselves to have no value in their community. Citizens of the city didn’t even know there was a “Bronx River,”

members were all advised to be creative while thinking of solutions, but we were also reminded to take a deep breath and learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. In saying so, she went on to describe how if people want a change, then they’re going to have to step out and see it through. They’ll have to be comfortable with failure, so that they can keep on trying. They’ll also have to be motivated; that seeing their idea work won’t be the end of their efforts, and instead it will spark the

question, “Now how can I make it even better?”

At the end of Carter’s presentation, many of the people in the audience lined up to speak with her and thank her for the impact she had on changing their own neighborhoods. People asked how they could get involved, took pictures, and were thrilled to be with a celebrity of the environmental movement. When asked how she felt seeing people so excited, Carter responded with a certain detail she paid attention to, “You can sort

of even see the light bulb go on over their head that they’re just like, ‘I can do something?’ Yea you always could, and now it’s just you stepping out and doing it.”

“Learn to be comfortable with failure,” Carter advises, “and then making a difference will be second nature.” When concluding the presentation, Carter said that her favorite part of what she does is seeing people relieved to know “that they have the capacity to change their communities for the better.”

progress.

A Withdrawal, Did Not Attend, Incomplete, or an “F” in a course is not considered completion, and the student will not receive credit. These marks are, however, still considered attempted credits even though the course was not completed and no letter grade was received. This falls under another branch of SAP, known as “Pace”.

In order to have good Pace, you NEED to earn at least 67% of the credits attempted during your ENTIRE COLLEGE CAREER INCLUDING TRANSFER CREDITS, SUMMER COURSES, INTERSESSION COURSES, ETC. For example, imagine that you are an exceptionally good first year student and decided to take 20 credits for the Fall semester and 20 credits for the Spring semester. This is a total of 40 attempted credits for the entire year. Part way through the semester you realized that the workload of all those courses is too much and you need to maintain a 4.0 cGPA (because you are such a great student!), so you decide to withdraw from a few of your courses so that you are now taking only 12 credits per semester. Therefore at the end of the year you still complete a total of 24 credits for the entire year. You might think that you are still in good SAP because you have earned the 24 credits required for each year and you have achieved a 4.0 cumulative GPA. However, this is not the case. You MUST remember that you attempted a total of 40 credits, but only earned 24 of those credits, which means that you have only earned 60% of your attempted credits. This puts you in bad Pace, which means you are also in bad SAP and will not receive any financial aid from the school. If you have withdrawn, failed or did not attend courses you should check the amount of credits earned versus the amount of credits attempted to make sure that you have earned at least 67% of your credits attempted.

3-27 credits = cGPA of 1.75 or greater.

-if you have attempted 2857 credits = cGPA of 1.85 or greater.

-if you have attempted 58 or more credits = cGPA of 2.0 or greater.

A student’s academic progress is reviewed at the end of each spring term. The Financial Aid Office will mail a letter to each student who fails to maintain the minimum academic progress standards detailing their deficiencies and the steps for reinstating their financial aid eligibility.

What if you won’t have the necessary cGPA and the right amount of credits by the end of the academic year in May? One thing you can do is enroll in a summer course to bring your grade up and/or earn the credits you need for good SAP. Prior to enrolling in the additional courses you should consult the Registrar’s office to ensure that the end result of taking that course will help you attain your SAP goals. Then you need to inform the Financial Aid Office that you believe you have reinstated your eligibility once your new grade posts. They will check up on all your information, and if you are in good SAP, you will be reconsidered for financial aid. (Note: You should try to reinstate your SAP as soon as possible. The longer you are ineligible the lower your resulting financial aid award might be due to depleted funding.) If you are interested in taking a course outside of the University of New Haven, you must first check with the Registrar’s Office. You should ask them if that the course you take will transfer and appear on your transcript in such a way as to help you achieve good SAP. For example, if you are taking a 3 credit course, make sure that the Registrar’s Office will put it on your transcript as a 3 credit course. However, if your SAP problem revolves around your cumulative GPA, then you must make sure that your course will transfer in as a grade that affects your cGPA or it will not help you reinstate financial aid eligibility.

If SAP is something you are concerned about, the first thing you should do is talk to the Financial Aid Office to see what options are available to you. So remember to keep your grades up, complete at least 24 credits by the end of each academic year, and earn at least 67% of the credits attempted, and you will achieve good SAP!

What is Satisfactory Academic Progress?

By THE FEDS

–––––––––––––––––––––

DID YOU KNOW that you could lose all of your financial aid if you don’t achieve good Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?

In accordance with federal regulations, all student’s receiving financial aid are required to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) towards their degree and be in good academic standing in order to remain eligible to receive financial aid. In other words, you must earn all the credits for which you are awarded financial aid, maintain a minimum cumulative GPA (cGPA), and minimum successful completion rate (pace) each year.

At the end of the spring term, the Financial Aid Office will check your academic transcript to make sure that you have achieved the SAP requirements and are not on academic probation.

If you do not make satisfactory academic progress then you will not be eligible to receive financial aid until you are in good standing.

All financial aid including but not limited to federal student loans, federal parent loans, grants, scholarships, and work study are subject to meeting the minimum SAP standards set by the university.

SAP for a full time day student is defined as successful completion of 24 credits in a single academic year, September to May, while maintaining the correct cGPA and Pace. Let’s look at each component separately.

A full time day student must successfully complete 24 credits per academic year.

Successful completion of a course is defined as the receipt of a final letter grade, ranging from A+ to D-. You will be considered in bad Satisfactory Academic Progress if you do not complete the full amount of credits required each academic year.

Even if you have a 4.0 cumulative GPA, you can still have bad SAP if you earned less than 24 credits for the year.

Fall earned 12 credits + Spring earned 12 credits = 24 Total earned credits = satisfactory academic progress.

Fall earned 9 credits + Spring earned 15 credits = 24 Total earned credits = satisfactory academic progress.

Fall earned 9 credits + Spring earned 12 credits = 21 Total earned credits = unstatisfactory academic

Credits earned > 67% Credits attempted In addition, students are also required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (cGPA) in accordance with the number of credits attempted. Keep in mind that this is your ATTEMPTED credits, not EARNED credits. In order to maintain good SAP, you must meet the following cGPA requirements: -if you have attempted

Let’s face it; basements really don’t seem like the place to find comfort, much less peace of mind. Yet the bottom floor of 15 Ruden Street is a bright, clean, and welcoming space; it’s hard to believe that one year ago it had a dirt-floor. With cushions, comfy chairs, and plants, it is truly an ideal spot to unwind.

This great result all began with a survey sent out to the University of New Haven student body last September.

Students were interested in meditation classes, in having a quiet space to relax, and Muslim students desired an appropriate space to pray during the day. It’s now one year later, and the UNH Mediation and Spirituality Center had its official opening Monday Sept. 16.

Faculty and students gathered together in the meditation room to hear remarks on how this vision came

about, and what plans are in store for the space. Upon walking through the door of this center, guests were prompted to take my shoes off and put them in a wall cubby; the whole space is footwear free. One significant facilitator of this project, Kara Beth Neike, gave tours of the space, including the foot washing stations, the Muslim women’s prayer space, Muslim men’s’ prayer space, and the mediation room, where everyone had gathered.

Neike was vital to this project from the very beginning. Before coming to UNH, she worked at a religious organization, and while taking charge of this project, she and her colleagues went to Yale to get ideas for developing the center. To guarantee that prayer rooms aligned with meca, the rooms were designed with the assistance of Omer Bajwa, Yale University coordinator of Muslim life.

During the ceremony, representatives from the Halal

Club (Jewish organization), Muslim Association, SPELL club, and the International Student association spoke of why this space is important to them, and shared blessings in heir native languages.

Vincent Cangiano, the instructor of the Mindfulness Mediation classes, encouraged people to drop in and see what his class is like. He teaches the guided mediation every Thursday from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. through December 12. Meditation is about “focusing to pay attention in the present moment,” which seems to be a vital skill to develop as college semesters become more hectic.

“If you build it, they will come,” said Marty O’Connor, the University Chaplin. While this is from the movie, Field of Dreams, such a saying couldn’t be more applicable in this situation. To gain entry to the center, stop by the Dean of Student’s office in Bartels room 203 for card access.

To honor the Gehrings for their gift, Kaplan awarded John Gehring with an Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration.

“My two great joys at this institution are seeing what we can do for our students, and seeing what we can do for our donors,” Kaplan said to the Gehrings. “When students on this campus go into this wonderful facility to do

research that could possibly save lives...the lives they save might not have been saved without your incredible generosity.”

The ceremony ended with the unveiling of John and Leona Gehring’s names on the side of the Lee Institute.

Other notable attendees at the ceremony included Board of Governors Chair Philip H. Bartels and member Mary J. Barneby, and UNH Distinguished Fellow in Public Service and fomer U.S. Congressman Christopher Shays.

22nd Annual Markel Symposium Fo- UNH Ranked cuses on Management and InvestiAmong the gation of Shooting Incidents Top Colleges

UNH TODAY

–––––––––––––––––––––

WEST HAVEN, CONN. The 22nd annual Arnold Markel Symposium, sponsored by the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven, will take place on Oct. 14 and 15 and will focus on the management and investigation of shooting incidents.

The two-day symposium, named for the late state’s attorney of New Haven County, is open to the public. It takes place at University Theater in Dodds Hall on the main UNH campus, 300 Boston Post Road. The program will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

This year, the symposium is especially designed not only for law enforcement, safety personnel, prosecutors, defense attorneys and behavioral scientists but also workers in emergency services, education and forensic sciences, as well as students.

“Unfortunately, this topic is very relevant today,” said Henry C. Lee, chaired professor and founder of the Lee Institute. “Although we have had far too many of them, we have learned a lot about how best to manage and investigate these incidents, and we are learning about ways to prevent them, too. This symposium will feature many outstanding speakers who have a lot of knowledge to share with participants,” Lee said.

This year’s speakers will include noted international and national behavioral profilers,

On September 15, a new Miss America was crowned.

Nina Davuluri’s journey to the title, however, started almost a year ago.

To better understand pageants, there are two televised beauty pageants: Miss USA and Miss America. There are other pageant systems that are international such as International Junior Miss, Miss Collegiate and National American Miss. Each system has its own areas of competition such as interview, talent, personal introduction and swimsuit. In any pageant system, one thing is true to all: it takes a lot of hard work and dedication.

The Miss America Organization has three levels of competition. The first is a local title, which are given throughout the state. For this competition, girls vying for a title must fill out an application, which includes answers to a few questions as well as a detailed description of their platform. A platform is a contestant’s personal charity or organization that they will support throughout her year.

Before competing, all contestants must raise at least one hundred dollars for the Children’s Miracle Network.

Before the pageant starts, all of the contestants go through a panel style interview in

who have researched and published on the topic, and law enforcement experts in shooting incident response.

The symposium is named for Markle because of his efforts to organize affordable training programs for police.

which the questions could range from platform, personal opinions or current events.

When the pageant starts, the contestants perform a dance number and then answer an on stage question relating to their platform. Next, there is a talent competition in which each girl has a minute and a half to show their talent. Talents can range from tap dancing to opera. Then there is the swimsuit portion, which is also known as the lifestyle and fitness competition. Girls are judged on how well they stay healthy and fit. The last portion is the formal wear competition, in which the contestants can wear whatever style of dress they desire. These local title-holders then go on to compete in the statewide pageant. The state pageant has the same competition areas. The winner of the state pageant then goes on to compete for Miss America.

This year was especially exciting because Miss America went back to its birthplace, Atlantic City, New Jersey. This level of competition can be very rigorous.

Girls arrive two weeks before the final pageant to start competing. During these weeks videos are filmed to be aired during the final pageant, appearances are made and preliminary competitions occur. Then on the day before the final pageant the Show Us Your Shoes parade takes place. During this event, each contestant gets to wear an outfit and

pair of shoes that shows off their state or story.

Some of the standouts this year were Theresa Vail, Miss Kansas clad in her military uniform and boots. Miss Missouri who brought Kate Middleton to Cardinal Nation, a bright red Cardinals cape and a feathered hat, and Miss Idaho, who wore a potato sack to represent her home state. After this event the current queens were around the boardwalk to take pictures and sign tons of autographs.

The final pageant was held on Sunday night, everyone was dressed to the nines and there was no shortage of crowns and banners. Titleholders from all over the country, from all different systems, came to cheer on their favorites. The show started with a tribute to families of fallen service men. Then the top 18 girls are called, 17 of these girls are chosen by their performance in the preliminary competitions and one was chosen by America.

This years America’s choice was Theresa Vail, Miss Kansas, who is a current member of the U.S. Army.

Another unbelievable event was when Miss Florida was called to top 18; she tore her ACL earlier in the week, and would have to compete again in all the events.

The top 18 then competed in swimwear, which was all from the Miss America line by Catalina. After the

• Raymond Hamden, who will speak on “Profiling the Offender: Prevention and Interview of the Alleged Offender.” Hamden, a licensed psychologist, practiced in Washington, D.C. In 1990, he established a professional psychology practice in the United Arab Emirates. He is a life member of the Association of Psychological Sciences and is a member of the International Society of Political Psychology, International Council of Psychologists, and American College of Forensic Examiners International.

• Pete Gagliardi, who will speak on “Transnational Firearms Crimes. Gagliardi is an expert on ballistics evidence and firearms. He has authored “The 13 Critical Tasks, An Inside-Out Approach to Solving More Gun Crime.” Gagliardi is a retired special agent who was in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. He is senior vice president of Forensic Technology, Inc. of Montreal.

Nationally for Veterans

UNH TODAY

–––––––––––––––––––––

WEST HAVEN, CONN. – For the third year in a row, the University of New Haven has been ranked by G.I Jobs magazine in the top 20 percent of more than 12,000 colleges and universities that recruit military personnel.

“Inclusion on the 2014 list of Military Friendly Schools shows UNH’s commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students,” said Sean Collins, director of G.I. Jobs. “As interest in education grows, we’re thrilled to provide the military community with transparent, world-class resources to assist in their search for schools,” said Collins.

The colleges and universities on this year’s list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience, according to G.I. Jobs magazine. The schools have world-class programs and policies for student support on campus, academic accreditation, credit policies, flexibility and other services to those who served, according to Collins.

“UNH should take great pride in this honor. The competition for our 2013 Military Friendly Schools list was fierce and as a result, we raised the already

stringent criteria to a higher benchmark,” he said. “The University of New Haven is among the elite.”

UNH has displayed a strong commitment for the growing population of military students on campus, said Joseph Frederick, coordinator of veteran student outreach. Programs have been launched to help veteran students connect with one another, excel in the classroom and ensure that they have access to necessary support services and resources.

“There is a dedicated staff on campus to provide support for students,” Frederick said. “We are delighted that our efforts have been recognized.”

The UNH staff provides support for students from the admission process through graduation. The Veteran Ambassador Program, a new program launched this fall, , provides new students with a peer mentor to assist with the transition to college life.

The Military Veterans of UNH student club is a member of the national Student Veterans Association and has continued to grow in recent years.

The Veteran Success Center in Maxcy Hall also provides a dedicated lounge area with two computers and space for students to do homework or relax in-between classes.

swimsuit competition Miss Arkansas, Miss Kentucky and Miss Mississippi were eliminated.

Then the girls competed in formal wear; Miss Missouri and Miss Wisconsin were eliminated. The next round was talent. This year there was a Bollywood dance, an opera, baton twirling, pointe ballet and Miss Connecticut’s Irish step dance that got a standing ovation.

However, Miss Connecticut’s collective score was not high enough and she was eliminated along with Miss Texas, Miss Maryland, Miss Kansas and Miss Georgia.

The final portion of the competition was on stage

questioning. The questions started with the first relating to Miley Cyrus’ twerking video and another discussing Syria. Miss Florida was cut off because of the time limit, causing the entire audience to react by booing the hosts, and yelling very angry comments. However, once the audience calmed down, the crowning started.

The top five girls included three of the five AsianAmericans competing, Miss Florida, who had competed the entire evening barefoot with a sparkly knee brace, and Miss Oklahoma who was a huge crowd favorite.

However, the night ended with Nina Davuluri being

crowned Miss America. She started out as Miss Syracuse, Miss New York, and made it to Miss America.

Davuluri’s platform is Celebrating Diversity through Cultural Competence, which many believe is much needed after the reaction to her winning. This is the second year in a row New York has held the title of Miss America.

If you are interested in competing for a local title, Miss New Haven and Miss University of New Haven is being held Dec. 8, 2013.

Apple Mania

Students react to the iOS7 and Apple’s Latest Products

By ELISSA SANCI

OPINION EDITOR ESANC2@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

The world nearly came to a standstill Wednesday as every iPhone user turned away from the world and towards their phones, anxious to download iOS7, Apple’s latest operating system. Within minutes of the release of the update, social media exploded with a myriad of complaints.

This newest update from Apple generated a lot a feedback, and in a short amount of time. Complaints started rolling in minutes after the update was available for download. Tweets were sent out, lamenting about having to delete all apps and pictures to make room for the upgrade, and Facebook statuses were made, complaining about the excess amount of time taking for the download.

You would think people would be happy once the software was installed, but no—still no one was satisfied. Complaints about the look, the new features, and the lagging ensued, proving once and for all that our generation truly is not happy

with anything. iOS7 was announced in June, and none of the new features that became available to an iPhone, iTouch or iPad users were kept secretive. All features were carefully explained through a keynote video posted to the Apple home page, and many news outlets covered the story in detail. This means that everyone complaining about the look of iOS7 with a tone of surprise is three months behind and clearly has not been paying attention.

Apple has given us many new features with this upgrade—a bubbly new layout, along with bright colors and softer tones, which give the iPhone a simple, sophisticated look. The phone itself now has tons of new features, most of them small and simple, but make using the phone much easier.

Along with this new software came two new models of the iPhone—the iPhone 5c, available in five different colors, and the iPhone 5s, now available in silver, black or gold.

While these new models of the iPhone are nicer, my initial reaction is…why?

Why do we need two new models? What was wrong with the iPhone 5, which

was only released not even a year ago?

We live in a fast paced society where no one is ever completely happy with what they have, and this theory shines true with the unveiling of the two new iPhones.

Those who just got the iPhone 5—which is technically everyone, considering how new it is—are already in line for the new models, and have already deemed their phones outdated. What happened to being grateful for having a phone at all?

Five years ago, I was lucky enough to have a phone at all, let alone the newest and most up-to-date model. The words ungrateful and impatient pop into my mind.

Apple knows this though—they have to know.

They use this fault of human kind to their advantage; they play us right into their hands, and we gladly oblige, wallets open and hands full of cash outstretched.

Congrats, Steve Jobs. You did last year with the iPhone 5, and, once again, you’ve managed to drive the world crazy; we hope you’re having a good laugh up there in heaven.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER EGIAN1@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

As Wednesday, September 18, rolled around, I noticed a pattern in Facebook status updates as well as Twitter news. Apple’s new software update, iOS7, was released at about 1 p.m. in the afternoon on this specific day and, what seemed like the entire world could not stop talking about it.

I was the exception. As my roommates and friends counted down the minutes to this new software release, I sat back watching them, completely confident that I would not be a fan of this software, nor would I want it in the first place. I had already seen previews of Apple’s iOS7 and was not supportive of the new design.

Although Apple seemed to be aiming for simplicity, my thoughts screamed “it’s ugly!” I even voiced my emotions to a few friends claiming that I disliked how the new text boxes appeared and was not content with the weather app.

One o’clock eventually came, on that Wednesday,

and almost everyone I knew with an iPhone was clicking the software update button.

Not me. I even laughed as I told one of my roommates, “I bet Apple’s server crashes while the entire world tries to update their phones all at once.” Well my statement was not far from the truth of what actually happened. Apple did experience technical difficulties during this time, which only caused people to complain more about how the software update now takes three hours.

Once you could get past the three hours though, it must have been worth it. My friends continuously told me how awesome it was and how I was missing out by not downloading it. My excuse was that there was not even enough space on my phone anyways and that I did not want to be stuck with software that I hated.

As of Wednesday night, I had survived the day without falling into the trap of iOS7.

Before I knew it, it was Thursday, at about 11 a.m., and I had hooked up my phone to my computer, awaiting my new update.

Yes, I had fallen into the mold of society and de-

cided to give iOS7 a chance.

Really, the only thing that caught my eye was the new and improved camera functions. You can now edit your pictures right after you take them and, for some reason, that sold me.

Anxiously, I sat near my phone, only to find that it took as little as 25 minutes for my update to be applied!

I nervously swept the new unlock screen to the right and typed in my four-digit password. My eyes searched back and forth across the artsy, simplistic design of iOS7.

Five minutes later, I was hooked. I could not stop texting, or doing basically anything that required me to use my “new” iPhone; iOS7 gave me the feel of something different and fun to use. I have realized that a change of pace can be nice every once in a while and iOS7 is definitely a change that I have come to love.

Even after all of my harsh criticism on the product, I am glad that iOS7 now gives my iPhone 4 a new, sleek look.

What College Has Taught Me

By ELISSA SANCI

OPINION EDITOR ESANC2@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

A typical opening scene from a movie about high school: teens are sprawled across the lawn on the first day of school. To your left, you have the cheerleaders; their skirts are short and almost all have blonde hair. To your right, you see the science geeks, usually surrounding something fizzling or exploding. On the stairs, you see the jocks; big football players in letterman jackets tossing around a ball. Near the bike racks are the scene kids—all dressed in black, and usually chain smoking.

All of the different cliques are separated and there is no intergroup chatting. The jocks and cheerleaders torment the science nerds, and the scene kids are almost always too high to care about what’s going on. Let’s not forget about the band geeks, with their frizzy hair and

braces-filled smiles. They were the ones always getting pushed into lockers. You were only safe if you were popular.

After watching all those movies, I was terrified— what was high school going to be like? Everyone always told me not to worry. “High school really isn’t like the movies, so don’t worry.”

Nerds don’t get stuffed into lockers, kids aren’t really segregated into different cliques, and no one is picked on. Even while in high school, my friends would always claim that our school was nothing like school was in the movies.

After a long four years, I can actually say that, yeah, high school is like that.

Perhaps it isn’t as extreme as the movies portray it to be, but it’s there. Kids congregate to other kids that are like them; the music kids hang out with the music kids, the football players sit with the cheerleaders, the stoner kids sit with each other.

Groups higher up in the

social pyramid bully those below them, and so much judgment is passed on from clique to clique. The gossip is horrible; it spreads like wildfire. I knew business about people I didn’t even know.

College has taught me to be grateful to be past my high school years. Before college, I didn’t think of high school as segregated as it actually is. I thought that because it wasn’t as severe as the movies made it seem, high school wasn’t like the movies at all. But I was wrong, because now I have something to compare it to.

There will be cliques no matter where you go, but at least now, every one is friendly toward each other.

There is mutual respect between almost everyone in the student body. If I had to guess why, I’d say it’s because no one wants to go back to the way it was in high school.

Mad? Happy?

Something else!?

Post-Grad Problems

Why Graduation is the Furthest Thing From My Mind

By LIANA TEIXEIRA

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF LTEIX1@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

For the past four years, the build-up toward senior year has seemed slow-paced at best. But when I woke up for my last first day of school as an undergrad, it finally hit me---I’m graduating....I’m graduating in nine months...I’m graduating and I have no idea what direction life will take me.

But what stressed me out most about returning this fall was not the preparation needed for graduation, but rather preparing for what happens after graduation.

Should I get a job? Should I go to grad school? Where should I apply? Not to mention the 20K in loans I have to start paying back. (Ain’t nobody got time for that!).

So, without further ado and in no particular order, here’s a list of things I’m not looking forward to once I turn the tassel in May. 1. Still living in my parent’s house.

According to a Pew Research Study conducted in 2011, about 45 percent of seniors move back to their parents’ home after graduation. You heard right. Almost half of us crawl back to the nest.

I love my parents, really I do. But I’m almost 21 years old and have never left their watchful eyes. As a lifetime resident of West Haven, the luxury of living on campus

was never a possibility for me. (Spending an extra $13,000 per year just to live down the street? No thank you). Upon graduation, I fully plan on investing in a place of my own, but until that time comes, I’m stuck in a bright purple bedroom.

Oh well, at least there’s no rent.

2. Applying to grad school.

Continuing one’s education after receiving a bachelor’s degree is probably one of the most rewarding yet stressful ideas ever created.

Who wants to relive senior year of high school? Gathering recommendation letters for those $75 applications isn’t exactly an east task either because, let’s be honest, there’s less of a chance that two-day-per-week lecture professor became your best friend. With all these deadlines thrown at us right near finals week, it’s a miracle seniors don’t go insane.

3. Taking the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).

This country sure likes standardized test-taking.

GREs practically go handin-hand with applying for grad schools. If the SATs weren’t bad enough, seniors are now exposed to a similar test to determine how “smart” they are based on a few scores. My situation is particuarly unpleasant because I’m pursuing a Masters of Science in journalism. Because the GRE con-

tains a math portion, many schools don’t require the test for admissions. As luck would have it, however, half of the schools I’m applying for require the GRE, while the other half don’t, which is a bit inconvenient.

4. Finding a job.

When all schooling is finally over, here comes the hard part--finding a job in your field of study. In this job market, the recent college graduate gets the short end of the stick in most cases. Depending on your major, you may spend close to a year or more finding a job that fits your qualifications and training.

5. Paying back student loans.

Like most seniors out there, I’m quietly dreading the day when I receive that first student loan bill. And if you read number four, you’ll realize why this is a primary concern for most graduates.

What if you don’t land that job right away? What if all the money you do earn goes straight to rent and groceries and not loan payment? Paying back student loans may seem overwhelming at first, but it’s nothing a little planning and budgeting can’t fix with practice.

While I’m not exactly looking forward to the prospect of post-graduation, it’ll definitely be an adventure. And thanks to excellent preparation I received from UNH, it’ll be easier to take on the world.

Teamwork

By SAMANTHA MATHEWSON

ASSISTANT EDITOR SMATH3@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

––––––––––––––––––––– For the better part of my life, I have been a member of a team; sports or various club activities. Personally, I took this responsibility seriously. This meant that I was working with other people towards a common goal, along with bettering myself for them.

Within the realm of being a team player, you have to put others before yourself; you have to put aside differences to understand each other and forgive each other for what may be separating you from reaching the goals you collectively, and individually, work towards.

To understand being a member of a team, you have to understand respect. It isn’t simply do onto others what you would want done onto you. It means regardless of how you personally feel, you take what your team members are saying seriously and you step into their shoes to see where they are coming from, and you simply, listen to each other.

Being a member of a team was especially important to me when I came to college.

Instantly my cross county and track and field team became my family; people I could turn to in time of need for advice, people I could depend on to carry me through hard times, and people that encouraged me to push myself to limits I never thought I could reach.

With their help, I reached and passed those limits. I proved myself wrong and continue to prosper. It happens because of continual hard work and team dedication. I have found a balance between priorities with their help, and I have found that working together is necessary for progress.

Finally, and maybe most importantly, I have learned that when I am having a bad day, or am in a pickle, its not only the physical running at practice that helps me release stress, it’s the fact that my team will unconditionally listen to me and help me work through my problems.

While being a member of a team, you have to care. You have to put in the extra effort to care about yourself so you stay healthy and focused, and you have to care about each member on your team, so that you can help him or her stay healthy and focused as well. You may not always like them, but you whether you admit it or not, you care about them.

It’s no doubt that college athletics gets tiring and hard, and of course the question why am I participating in such a rigorous extracurricular activity comes to mind, but when I think about that question, I answer; for my team. I am at practice and every meet for the other seven girls on my crosscountry team, and the other 29 girls on my track and field team. Aside from the amazing reward of accomplishment, it means everything to me when my teammates are proud of me and

appreciate all that I do. They make what seems so hard so much fun that it’s almost easy (but don’t tell my coach I said that). My teammates make me want more than I was striving for before, and I owe them part of the credit for my accomplishments, because I couldn’t have done it without them.

Working and being a participating member of a team has been one of the most important accomplishments of my life, aside from being one of the most difficult.

For the next two years I will continue to wake up at 5:30 a.m. for 6 a.m. practice, and then go through a long day of classes just to return to practice at 3 p.m. I will continue to dedicate my weekends to meets and competition, and on my days off, I will continue to make time for my team, because I am not only running to better myself, but I am running for my team, and there is are no excuses for being selfish.

This year, two of my other teammates and I on the cross country team took on the role of upperclassmen, since there are no seniors on the team. With the lead of our captain, the three of us strive every day to help make the freshman class feel at home, feel they come to us for anything and everything, encourage them to push themselves to reach their full potential, and believe that whatever they want they can achieve.

Hello Chargers, I hope everyone is having an amazing week and is taking advantage of all the opportunities to get involved on campus.

Last week was very busy for our campus, with the dedication of John and Leona Gehring Hall, that now houses the Henry Lee institute, and with the completion of the renovations and dedication of the Alexander W. Nicholson Jr. Health Center.

These dedications provide evidence of the upward trend of our university and also show the solid alumni backing that will be fundamental to our continued growth. I would like to thank all the alumni who continue to give back to our school and provide the resources that help us stay competitive.

With Best Wishes, Zani Imetovski USGA President

USGA Treasurer’s Tip of the Week

“Document, save and store everything.”

When dealing with paperwork related to business, such as an invoice or contract, you should save a copy for yourself, whether a hard copy or digital. I highly advise against deleting any important email conversations; store it in a folder, archive it or find some other way to retrieve it later, because you’ll never know when you may have to do just that.

-Isaak Kifle

USGA Meetings are Fridays at 12PM in the Alumni Lounge.

Bring your friends!

Corrections (9/18/13): 1. The Charger Battery–typo. “Joan and Leona Gehring” should read “John and Leona Gehring.”

2. Students Honor Those Lost on 9/11–quote miscredit. Mayor John Picard was not present at the 9/11 ceremony. The quote was instead provided by UNH Provost Daniel May.

Softball Gets a New Look, Announces Fall Schedule

SPORTS EDITOR CSCHN3@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

Revenge is a dish served best cold, and it was also a dish that the Chargers could not serve last season.

Rallying in the Northeast-10 championship game against Adelphi, they would come up short, losing 4-3; now having to hope for a spot in the division two softball world series. Even with loosing the NE-10 championship, they got the call, and would be heading to Brookeville, NY. In the first game, they would see the same Adelphi team that they came so close to beating. This game would be personal for the Chargers, or so one would think. Adelphi would score early in the game and would go on to win it 4-1, giving the Chargers another disappointing loss, but they were still alive.

They would go on to play Dominican College and LIU Post beating both to get to the regional championship to see whom? The same Adelphi Panthers. This

seems like something out of a movie, already losing to this team twice, but if revenge would taste sweet, this would be the moment.

But it’s not a movie, and Adelphi went on to win 9-5, officially eliminating the Chargers.

Now it’s time to start from scratch, some players gone and some players new. But one thing that will be completely different this season is the look of the UNH Softball Field.

Although the luck for the Chargers didn’t need to change, the field did. Dugouts and a press box were put in making the field look as good as the record the Chargers had last season.

After a long summer of building, its time to take the new field as softball has officially released their fall schedule, and they are hoping this is a start to good things.

Their schedule, listed below, is exhibition games, some against Division II schools, some testing the boundaries of the team, taking on Division I schools.

No matter the opponent, the Chargers are looking to keep

the wins coming as they did last season.

The fall softball schedule: 2013 New Haven Softball Fall Schedule: Sept. 21 – West Haven High School 9 a.m. New Haven vs.

Post 11 a.m. Post vs. Holy Cross 1 p.m. New Haven vs.

Women’s Athlete of the Week

Amber Cannady Women’s Volleyball #10

By CHRIS SCHNABEL

SPORTS EDITOR CSCHN3@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

_______________________________ Chris Schnabel: Player of the week, how does it feel to get this honor, knowing you were awarded it because of your high performance level of play?

Amber Cannady: “I’m greatly appreciative of the award. I feel as though coach works us hard so that we can preform better together as a whole so when certain people get noticed on the team for what they do, it’s just a great feeling.”

CS:You swept East Stroudsburg in three sets, how does it feel that the team is playing at a high level?

AC: “It’s reassuring. Starting off early in the season, we hit a couple bumps but it nice to know that we’re finally finding our pace and picking things up collectively as a whole.”

CS: Do you feel that being a senior, you have to win this year, or are you taking it

like any other year?

AC: “Each year I’ve approached the game with a consistent attitude towards the fact that we have high goals for ourselves and to accomplish those goals you have to work hard and because its my senior year I do want to work especially hard but I feel like I put as much effort the last three seasons as I have, and will continue to put in this year.”

CS: You had 14 kills on Saturday, which is your season high, what was your preparation for this game to play at such a high level?

AC: For the couple games that we’ve had so far we couldn’t really scout much.

We just had to come in with an attitude, knowing how we wanted to execute our play and how we wanted to preform as a team so I feel like that carried into this match.”

CS: You have three straight games averaging

15.5 points now, how have you kept up the consistency?

AC: “Working in practice we do a lot of things where coach prepares us for game activity and game situations.

We come ready to play.”

CS: You rank number 10 in Chargers history in total career blocks and career block assists, how’s it feel to be in the Charger history books?

AC: “I think it’s amazing personally, I hold the University of New Haven’s volleyball program in a very high aspect and I feel honored to be apart of something so great.”

CS: How does it feel knowing while you’re playing each game this year, you will be moving up the history books?

AC: “I try not to keep that in the back of my mind, I’m more of a “in the moment” type person, where each set, each ball, and each point

matters. As long as I can contribute towards the goal that matters and the goal that’s our team has, I’ll be happier with that.”

CS: What’s it like having your name mentioned with the Alumni of this University?

AC: “It’s a great feeling; I’m really appreciative of coach and everybody that’s helped better my volleyball knowledge and skills. A lot of the alumni we meet as they come back for the annual alumni match. When I meet these women that have played for coach and that played for Debbie and see how hard they worked and how they paved the way for us it makes me feel as though I am contributing toward something that other people look to later on and it’s a very rewarding feeling.”

CS: What was it like going to the elite eight last years in Women’s volleyball?

AC: “It was the most exciting experience I’ve ever had in my life and I know I want to go back and it’s not more of an ‘I want,’ it’s more of ‘I have to go back.’

I feel like we have unfinished business, it’s definitely the direction we want to head in” Follow @CSchnabelUNH on twitter for all campus and professional sports updates.

Men’s Athlete of the Week Anthony Greenfield Football #15

SPORTS EDITOR @UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

Chris Schnabel: Player of the week, how does it feel to get this honor, knowing you were awarded it because of your high level of play?

Anthony Greenfield: “Feels pretty good, especially being a punter, they’re not really recognized for their football play as much as other positions. It’s an honor” CS: The team played their best Saturday. What aspect of the game did the Chargers improve to make this game so much different than the last?

AG: “Preparation. We practiced a lot harder, a lot more focused and I think losing that first game put our season in prospective.”

CS: You have five punts for 249 yard, which all together adds to almost 50 yards per punt (49.80) what gets you prepared to get in the game and be so consistent?

AG: “Practicing. Coach Daleen set high goals for us, sets high goals for me. It makes practice harder for me so the game is more relaxed and more fluid.”

CS: Speaking of consistency you are 9-9 on extra points, is it a hard transition going from making a punt to an extra point of field goal?

AG: “Yeah it was for me.

It was a long off-season trying to teach myself how

to kick. I grew a lot over camp.”

CS: You had two kicks within 20 yards, how does it feel to get that coffin-corner kick? What is the correct reaction to that?

AG: “Satisfied, that’s what you should do, that’s your job.”

CS: You had one of the best plays of the day, if not the play of the day, Saturday with the fake field goal throw for a touchdown.

What was your thought when called that play?

AG: “Just execute it. Just execute what we practiced all week.”

CS: How did it feel when you were about to toss and the line was coming at you?

AG: “I felt the pressure, definitely felt pressure, but I just knew to throw it up there; let something happen instead of getting sacked.

Throw and pray.”

CS: What was your reaction to it being called a touchdown?

AG: “One of the most exciting times of my life.”

Taylor’s NFL Picks-Week 4 Who will come out on top this season?

By TAYLOR HAUCK

SPORTS WRITER THAUC1@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

(Winning picks in BOLD) San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams -The 49ers have struggled mightily in their last two games but expect them to bounce back with an easy win over the Rams. Both the offense and defense need to improve in order for the 49ers to get their season back on track. Expect the Rams to put up a fight.

Minnesota Vikings @ Pittsburgh Steelers -Pittsburgh had a valiant comeback effort against the Bears on Sunday Night Football. They look to try and use that momentum to get their first win of the season in London, England, against Minnesota. The Vikings suffered an embarrassing loss to the Browns and need Adrian Peterson to start gaining more yards per carry to help the offense.

Baltimore Ravens @ Buf-

falo Bills -The Ravens finally showed some life after beating the Texans handily in Baltimore. Joe Flacco still needs to play better if the Ravens want to make it back to the playoffs this season.

Expect the Bills to be competitive. The Bills have had a chance to win late in every game this season.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns -The Bengals’ 2-1 start hasn’t surprised anyone.

They have been consistently improving the last couple years and hope to make noise come playoff time.

They should roll over the lowly Browns. However, the Browns won their first game Sunday and hope to use that momentum to try and upset the Bengals.

Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars -Andrew Luck helped the Colts upset the 49ers. The Colts should win easily in Jacksonville. The Jaguars haven’t been able to get anything going this season,

starting 0-3 and giving up the third most points in the NFL. Seattle Seahawks @ Houston Texans The Seahawks are playing like everyone thought they would be. Their defense has shut down the opposition, allowing the fewest points in the NFL. The Texans have been shaky in their first three games and are lucky to be 2-1. Expect a close battle with the Seahawks earning a win.

Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers -This game is a toss-up and could go either way. The Cardinals need to improve their defense if they want to come away with a win.

The Bucs have been having internal issues with their coach and it is apparent their on-field performance has slumped as a result. Expect this game to come down to the wire.

Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions -The Bears are playing well under new coach Mark

Trestman. The Bears should pull out a win in Detroit.

The Lions have started out 2-1, but still need improve on both sides of the ball if they want to continue to win. Chicago should pick apart the Lions’ defense and score a lot of points.

New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs -Kansas City has shocked the football world with their 3-0 start under new coach, Andy Reid. They have already passed last year’s win total. The Giants have been getting progressively worse and there is no solution in sight. Expect a blowout by the Chiefs in Kansas City.

New York Jets @ Tennessee Titans -Both teams have started 2-1, a surprise to most. Expect the Titans to shut down the Jets. The Jets need their improved defense to step up if they want to pull out a win in Tennessee. Geno Smith needs to limit his turnovers.

The game should be close, with the Titans winning.

Dallas Cowboys @ San

Diego Chargers -The Cowboys hold the lead in the NFC East and look to improve their lead with a win in San Diego.

Dallas has what it takes to win the division. However, they need Tony Romo to be better under center. The Chargers have been up and down to start the season and look to get back to .500 with a win. This game should be a nail-biter, with the Cowboys coming out on top.

Washington Redskins @ Oakland Raiders -RG3 looks to get his team in a win. Their 0-3 start is being blamed on him and he needs to prove that he can still play after a knee injury at the end of last year. The Raiders are an improved team this year, but expect the Redskins to win.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Denver Broncos -Expect the Broncos to dismantle the Eagles. The Eagles’ up-tempo offense has stalled the last two weeks and Michael Vick has struggled. The defense has

also been allowing entirely too many points. The Broncos are the best team in the NFL. Peyton Manning and the rest of the offense should put up plenty of points to beat the Eagles.

New England Patriots @ Atlanta Falcons -Neither team has played up to expectations this season. The Patriots have a core of young receivers that finally looked ready for the NFL in a win over the Bucs.

Atlanta has started 1-2 after losing to the Dolphins on Sunday. This game should be sloppy, but close. Atlanta should produce a win.

Miami Dolphins @ New Orleans Saints -Both teams have started out 3-0, but the Saints’ powerful offense should prove too much for the Dolphins.

Drew Brees throws for a lot of yards and opposing defenses have a tough time stopping him. Expect a close, exciting game on Monday Night Football with the Saints ultimately prevailing.

On his third carry of the first series, DeCaro became the fourth player in New Haven football history to rush for 2,000 yards in a career.

After his nightly total, he moved in to fourth place in the UNH record book with 2,179 career rushing yards.

Tight end Michael Flacco (Audobon, N.J./Gateway Regional / The Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville) was the leading receiver for New Haven with four catches for 107 yards and one touchdown.

Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) added three grabs for 48 yards and two scores. Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./American History) also recorded multiple catches in the win.

The Chargers amassed an amazing 821 total yards on 81 offensive plays for a 10.1 per play average. The total yardage is also a team-high since 2009. They ran for an astonishing 509 yards and seven touchdowns on 53 carries.

On special teams, Anthony Greenfield (Bloomfield, N.J./Paramus Catholic / Wagner) came on PAT shy of tying to program's all-time record as he went 10-for-10 in the win. He also recorded a 50-yard average on 10 kickoffs in the win.

Somerville ) added seven total tackles including one sack.

The Chargers opened on defense and the Hawks

row 7-6 lead. New Haven's next offensive series was halted by a Tyrel McDonald interception of Nelson. Two plays later, Saint Anselm

began the game with a sixplay, 26-yard drive which ended in a punt. The teams then exchanged two offensive series before New Haven scored the game's first points late in the first quarter. UNH took over after a touchback with 3:06 left in the first. Four plays and 80-yards later DeCaro found the end zone for the games first point. His 46-yard run capped a short four-play, 80-yard series to give the Chargers an early 7-0 lead.

Saint Anselm answered with its first scoring drive of the game, going 45-yards on eight plays before quarterback Andrew Murphy completed a 27-yard touchdown pass to Justin Bernard 45-seconds into the second quarter. The two-point conversation attempt failed and UNH held on to a nar-

gave the ball back as Murphy mishandled a shotgun snap and Matthew Fallico (Syracuse, N.Y./Fayetteville Manlius / Hudson Valley) fell on the loose ball.

For the second-straight week, Nelson connected on a long ball with Courtney Moshood (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto). The first play of the series went 72-yards to the Saint Anselm threeyard line before Moshood was taken down on a shoestring tackle. Two plays later, Nelson completed a two-yard touchdown pass to Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) with 11:11 left in the second quarter to give UNH a 14-6 lead.

Ryan Monette returned the ensuing kickoff 81 yards for Saint Anselm to the Chargers' five-yard line.

One play later the Hawks closed the UNH lead back to one, 14-13. Once again, the New Haven offense prevailed five plays later when DeCaro found the promise land for the second time of the evening with 8:43 left in the second quarter. The Chargers took a 21-13 lead after the Anthony Greenfield (Bloomfield, N.J./Paramus Catholic / Wagner) extra point.

The Hawks then marched all the way down inside New Haven's 30-yard line before their drive stalled on fourth down. New Haven took over on the on its own 26-yard line and went 74 yards on six plays to take a 28-13 lead with 1:36 left in the first half. After a threeand-out by the Hawks which took just 31-seconds off the clock, New Haven's attempt to gain additional points to end the half came up short at the Saint Anselm 29-yard line.

Opening the second half, Saint Anselm attempted an on-side kick and the Chargers recovered at the Hawks' own 44-yard line. Three plays later, Nelson threw his second touchdown pass of the night to Music. The 34-yard score gave UNH a 35-13 lead with 14:22 left in the third.

Saint Anselm also scored on its first drive of the second half. The Hawks marched 59 yards on nine plays to New Haven's twoyard line before Murphy completed another touch-

down to Bernard to bring the score within 15, 35-20.

The teams again exchanged touchdown over the next eight minutes and brought the score to 42-26 with 3:30 left in the third.

Nelson scored the Chargers' touchdown with a one-yard touchdown run at the 5:14 mark. The UNH offensive series was highlighted by a one-handed catch in the outstretched arm of Flacco to set up a first-and-10 from the Saint Anselm 15-yard line.

Immediately after Saint Anselm brought the score to 42-26, DeCaro burst out for a 51-yard touchdown run with 3:15 left in the third quarter to push UNH ahead 49-26. The score was the first of 28-straight points to close out the game for the Chargers.

As the game entered the fourth quarter, UNH put together its longest drive of the game: a 12-play, 67yard drive over the course of 5:15. Nelson capped the series with an 11-yard touchdown run to put the Chargers ahead by 30 points, 56-26.

The Chargers' next two series also ended with touchdown, one 16-yard touchdown run from Officer and the final by freshman Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) from 14 yards out.

Chargers Run Past Saint Anselm, 70-26

Marvel Controversy: Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch

Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman Take Captive the Audience in Prisoners

By DYLAN RUPPRECHT

–––––––––––––––––––––

Tense and discomforted would be how I describe my internal affairs while watching Canadian director, Denis Villeneuve’s studio film debut, Prisoners.

This detective thriller pulls you through the mystery of the kidnapping of two little girls that transpired on Thanksgiving Day. Prisoners shows not only the perilous and violent endeavor detective Loki, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, embarks on, but also the crucial moral dissonance the family of the missing girls endures, led by a prize-worthy performance from Hugh Jackman.

I’d strongly suggest a trip to the bathroom before this movie starts because every

scene provides vital clues, which are sometimes red herrings to the mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

The Dover family is at the Birch family’s home for Thanksgiving, when a daughter from both families decides to walk back to their house just down the street without adult supervision in quest to find a missing red whistle. It isn’t long into the movie when Keller Dover, played by Hugh Jackman, notices the disappearance of both his and the Birch’s little girl and immediately calls the police.

Detective Loki is assigned to the case; his only lead being a suspicious beaten-up RV driven by feeble-minded Alex Jones, played by Paul Dano. Jones is arrested for suspiciously driving his RV into a tree, but is released after being debriefed by Loki who was unable to obtain

anything substantial from him due to Jones 10-year-old competence.

Keller is furious about this and is vehemently convinced that Jones knows more than he displays. Dover decides to take matters into his own hands making a kidnapping of his own, Jones, to detain answers. The movie begs the moral question, how far would you go to protect a loved one?

Prisoners is suspenseful and engaging. The emotional portrayal from each actor is commendable and ties together the ethic-probing story. The monochrome picture is also remarkable in how it is suited to this thriller as well. Prisoners just opened this weekend, so take the opportunity to go the movies and catch this thriller while it’s still on the big screen.

a few bucks at the movie theatre, and that’s all because of the star-studded cast.

De Niro and Pfeiffer had this incredible chemistry as the mob husband-and-wife duo, with De Niro’s Fred Blake being everything you expect from a mob boss; the wise-guy toughness and the affinity for violence. Pfeiffer brought a fantastic wit as the role of a mob-boss’s wife and all the emotion that a mother should have. They both bring back that feel of old mob movies, while at the same time putting that little modern twist on it.

Of course, Tommy Lee Jones as the gruff CIA agent was fantastic and brought his typical dry-humor and “badassery” to the film. I lost count of how many times he smiled in the movie after zero.

But the biggest surprise of the movie was definitely Agron, who plays the lovestruck mob-girl-next-door,

and D’Leo, the mini mobboss-in-training. The fact that Agron can go from an emotional, teenage girl trying to find love and escape from her crazy life, to a cold sadist who beats the living crap out of a girl who takes her pencil case is absolutely incredible. D’Leo has a knack for comedy, but also understood the drama of his role. Their chemistry together was superb. They, for lack of a better term, played a pair of sociopaths very well. In a movie with an A-list veteran cast, Agron and D’Leo absolutely held their own.

The Family is definitely worth a view, especially if you like violence and dark comedy. The banter and wit and chemistry between the cast is impeccable and earns this movie a 7/10 for me.

If you like the whole violence and dark humor kind of thing, then this movie is definitely for you also.

The Family Movie Review

By MARY MARENA

CONTRIBUTING WRITER MMARE1@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

The Family, is about a mafia boss and his family being relocated to a sleepy town in France under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob.

This movie is a drama and dark comedy, directed by Luc Besson.

Despite the best efforts of CIA Agent Stansfield to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni, his wife Maggie and their children Belle and Warren can't help but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling their problems the "family" way, enabling their former mafia cronies to track them down. Chaos ensues as old scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings in this darkly funny film by Luc Besson.

While the plotline was at times a bit messy and rushed, The Family is worth

FILM EDITOR SIWAN1@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

As promised, I will address this issue because it is a big one. When Joss Wheedon first announced that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be characters in Age of Ultron, the community expressed a simultaneous mesh of extreme excitement and extreme confusion.

For those who don’t know, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are characters commonly used in X-Men. They are the twin children of Magneto who naturally play important roles as villains to the X-Men in comics and cartoons. Of course, one would think that Avengers using an X-Men character would be leaning toward an Avengers/X-Men crossover film. If you are one of those people, prepare for extreme disappointment.

Marvel comic’s characters are split up between three major studios: Disney (Avengers), Fox (X-Men/ Fantastic Four) and Sony (Spiderman). These rights by nature belong to Disney but other studios gain characters by contractual means.

Often times, studios are required to produce a certain

number of films in a certain number of years, or rights go back to Disney. This is why we have so many pointless Ghost Rider films.

In these contracts it states that studios cannot reference, nor create, their own version of characters or ideas from either of the others, which raises the big red flag: How can the Avengers use Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch if they are X-Men? These two characters actually belong to both Fox and Marvel because both of these characters in the comics have dominant roles involving each superhero team, however Quicksilver is seen traditionally more with the X-Men and Scarlet Witch mostly with the Avengers.

Here’s the catch: Disney cannot use the terms X-Men, Magneto, or mutant because of their contract. Since this is the case, why has Marvel chosen to use these characters when they are forbidden to include their backstory and motivation entirely?

This literally demands complete re-creations of the twins, which is why so many people are up in arms about the idea. But wait…

There’s more. Just days after this news was revealed, Fox announced they will also

be using Quicksilver in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. Yes ladies and gentlemen, we will get the same character, played by two different actors, for two rival studios, who cannot acknowledge the other’s existence.

This is a perfect example of how not to treat the average movie going audience who doesn’t know the rules behind these contracts. I can easily see this ending up in frustration, however, I believe in the Avengers to do well with this character because of Kevin Feige’s mysterious master plan, even if it means changing the character.

I personally don’t believe they would go out of their way to use these characters if they weren’t going to do something ground breaking with them. And just between us, rumor has it that X-Men will only use him to say one line, just to flip the finger to Marvel, giving him no real purpose whatsoever.

My advice to everyone is start to understand comic book films more from a business perspective, because we may need to in order to avoid chaotic confusion in the future.

Ask Melanie

Is there trouble in paradise? Do you have love or relationship questions? Ask Melanie!

Submit “Ask Melanie” requests to chargerbulletin@newhaven.edu, our Facebook page or Twitter.

Dear Melanie, I’m in love with this person. They’ve been on my mind for the better half of close to a year now. We are currently not together but we still see each other often. The fire is still there and that feeling is mutual. However, I just feel like I need my space. My time, for me. On one hand, I don’t want commitment, but on the other, I want this person to continue to be the one I make such great memories with. I keep going back and forth in my head.

What should I do Melanie?

Dear Anonymous, Love is a tricky thing. Normally it seems that when it happens for real you never see it coming. When it hits you though, everything changes. You start to wonder how you went so long without this person in your life. You love everything about them, even their flaws; in fact their flaws make them more appealing to you. I heard once that loving someone’s imperfections makes the difference between love and lust.

When love is real, it’s an emotion that consumes you and sometimes that can be really scary. You feel like you can’t live without that person, and then you feel like you should be able to at this age. You know you are still young, but at the same time, loving someone this selflessly makes you feel wiser beyond your years. If you feel any of the things I just said, then I’m afraid to say that you are definitely in love, but you’re also very confused, and hopefully what I have to say can help with that.

I am someone who believes in true love. You might call me a hopeless romantic, but I don’t think it’s so hopeless if you can find someone, somewhere out there, who makes you feel like anything is possible, and like every romantic movie you’ve ever seen, it isn’t that farfetched. I believe there is someone out there for everyone and if you feel in any way that you could have found that person, which is what I get by the first line of your question, then you shouldn’t let go because of a need for space. You didn’t start out your question to me with, “I am so confused…” or, “I don’t want to have a relationship, but….” You said, “I’m in love with this person.” Love is a strong term, and the fact that you started out by saying that says to me that was the first thing on your mind when you sat down to write to me.

From your question, I can’t tell if you have already been dating this person, or if they are just an infatuation you have, but when you say that they have been on your mind for the better half of close to a year (key word: better), I feel that you probably were in a relationship for some time. The fact that you still see each other must mean that you have come to a mutual understanding, and if that’s the case then at least you are working at something.

It sounds to me like you are letting fear get the best of you. I mean, you are a junior in college and this is your time to be on your own and find yourself.

This is your time to party, and have crazy nights you’ll never remember. At the same time however, if you feel like you know who you are, and if you feel that your identity has never been based on other people, and you just would like a less demanding relationship, then I feel like that is something that can easily be fixed.

Any relationship is commitment. You are committed to your brother if he calls you and has a problem that he needs help with, you are committed to your roommates to pay rent on time, or keep your room clean, and you are committed to your parents to succeed in school and to make them proud. I understand however, that a romantic commitment can be a little different because a lot more feelings are involved, but I don’t know if that is necessarily a bad thing. A romantic commitment, a relationship with someone you love, is so much more rewarding than demanding; always having that person on your side, those movie nights, or long drives on the weekend, and having that person to call at 3 a.m. if you can’t sleep, or to be sleeping next to.

You have to think about the other person as well. If you are going back and forth in your head, they must be going back and forth in their heart. I am not saying there’s some underlying ultimatum here, and obviously the other person loves you if they are still sticking around. This may sound harsh, but if you don’t think that you are the one for them, you owe it to them to step aside and let someone who wants to be with them come into the picture. If it drives you crazy to think about that happening, then you’re much more attached then you’re letting yourself feel.

Everyone in this world needs “me” time. It is only natural that you’re going to have some nights where you want to be alone and just relax, but if during those alone times you are thinking about the other person, or wondering what they’re doing, then you don’t want to be single, you just want to be balanced. If your love is easy to approach, then tell them how you feel; don’t be afraid to open up. Tell them that you love them, tell them that thinking about them with someone else drives you nuts, tell them that they are all you think about, or better yet, tell yourself. Once you can really sit down and make yourself realize these things, it won’t seem so confusing.

The bottom line here is communication. Once that barrier is broken, everything will be so much easier, guaranteed. Sometimes you don’t want to communicate the way you feel because it is easier to keep your emotions under wraps, but this also leads to a lot of feelings bottled up, and when you finally let them out, it could be too late for any situation, especially something like this.

Sooner or later, someone is going to give up on the love you share when it’s only reciprocated in small amounts and doesn’t compare to what you’ve had before, but if you believe that the memories you can make with this person will be indescribable, or that you can’t go a day without talking to them, or seeing their smile, then don’t turn your back on what seems to be real love because of fear. Fear can ruin a lot of amazing opportunities in life, but the best part about when fear tries to come in between love, there is someone else fighting it with you.

Rumor has it, Grouplove is a Hit

–––––––––––––––––––––

Four years ago, five strangers met on a retreat in the middle of the Greek islands, wrote a hit record, and shortly after became one of the biggest rising stars in the indie pop world.

Not the most conventional beginnings for the guys and girl of Grouplove, but when listening to their music, I really wouldn’t expect it any other way. They hit the ground running two years ago with the smash hit “Tongue Tied,” and have yet to slow down with their own quirky brand of infectious tunes. With the release of their sophomore album Spreading Rumors, Grou-

plove has begun exploring even more facets of their sound and continued to put out amazingly catchy hits.

The album opens with some gorgeous piano riffs and layered melodies in “I’m With You,” that really caught me off guard at first.

Then again, when looking at the musical choices on this entire album, it’s really all about expecting the unexpected. Chugging guitar, lazer-like synth, excessive tambourine and wailing vocals all melt together to make up one wonderfully upbeat musical concoction that’s so wrong, it’s right. I dare you to try and not smile while listening to Grouplove….It’s pretty close to impossible when all you want to do is dance to it!

Spreading Rumors isn’t

all upbeat though, bringing variety with some slower tracks like “Hippy Hill,” and “Schoolboy,” the former track bearing my favorite line of the whole album, “I’d rather be a hippie than a hipster, what?” The line stuck out to me immediately, the group nodding to the fact that their group has been mostly picked up by the Starbucks drinking and Tumblr blogging “hipster” culture.

I appreciate that while they have been experimenting with synth and new musical frontier, you still hear that they are very much grounded in their natural hippie elements. If you have ever watched a live performance of theirs, they haven’t changed a thing about themselves, even with the sudden surge of fame. It is their music that stands at the forefront. My favorite tracks on the album include, singles “Ways To Go,” and “Borderlines And Aliens,” as well as “Shark Attack,” all because I feel like they showcase Grouplove’s vocals, instrumentation and overall positive energy.

Spreading Rumors is out now in stores and on iTunes everywhere! This album is the perfect pick me up and different than anything else out there right now. If it has taken you this long to come around, don’t waste another minute!

Keith Urban’s Fuse

By ELYSE VON DER FECHT

STAFF WRITER EVOND1@UNH.NEWHAVEN.EDU

–––––––––––––––––––––

Keith Urban, an Australian-raised country singer, songwriter and guitarist released his debut album in 1991, Keith Urban, only in Australia before moving to the United States in 1992.

The album was then released October 19, 1999 in the United States.

His song, “Somebody Like You,” off his second album Golden Road, was released October 4, 2002, and was the biggest country hit from 2000-2010. Then his third album Be Here, released September 21, 2004, produced three more number one singles. Urban’s fourth album, Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing, was released October 10, 2006.

This album had his second Grammy song; “Stupid Boy.” Keith Urban Greatest Hits, released November 20, 2007, contained 16 of Urban’s hits as well as two new songs. His sixth album, Defying Gravity, was released March 31, 2009, and his seventh album, Get Closer, was released on November 16, 2010.

His eighth album, Fuse, was recently released on September 10, 2013. Here is my review of the album: “Somewhere In My Car”:

The start of the song with the banjo is incredible as it leads in with the lyrics.

“Even the Stars Fall 4 U”: This song is very upbeat and has a strong tempo that accompanies the lyrics very well.

“Cop Car”: The beginning of the song is very slow and picks up as you get towards the middle of the song.

“Shame”: The drums start off the song accompanied

by Urban’s lyrics, and then the rest of the instruments join in.

“Good Thing”: The start of the song is very upbeat and has a great entrance following Urban’s vocals.

“We Were Us”: This is a great song as it features Miranda Lambert who sings along with Keith. The song has a great message and makes you want to move around and dance.

“Love’s Poster Child”: The beginning of the song is interesting. The banjo is accompanied with the other instruments and it makes the song stand out.

“She’s My 11”: The lyrics

to this song are incredible and the tempo of the song fits well with the way Urban sings to the words.

“Come Back To Me”: The beginning of the song has an instrumental part, then Urban joins in very powerful and strong.

“Red Camaro”: This song has a catchy beginning and makes you want to get up out of your chair and dance along.

“Little Bit of Everything”: This song has a great melody and rhythm that goes along with the lyrics.

“Raise ‘Em Up”: This song features Eric Church, which has a great outcome of the way the song touches others. The song is very mellow and calm.

“Heart Like Mine”: The piano introduction is a great way to have the song begin with Urban’s vocals following after.

Jonny Empire – Today’s Talent with Yesterday’s Soul

By SHANNON LIVEWELL STAFF WRITER SLIVEWELL@ME.COM

–––––––––––––––––––––

If you love real hip-hop, I’m talking Tupac and Nas, then you may feel when you listen to the radio today, that hip-hop is dead.

There are artists out now who call themselves rappers, but have very little clue of what it means to actually tell a story in their verses.

If you’re looking for true hip-hop, the kind that speaks to you, you may not have to look as far as you think.

Jonny Empire (John Farber), is New Haven’s very own hip-hop artist with a style of his own that is undeniably refreshing.

I am lucky enough to not only know his music, but also call him a friend, and I thought there to be no better way for more people to fall in love with his music, then do an interview and get his voice heard.

“I would say I got into hiphop at around 10 or 11 years old,” said Empire when asked how his passion for hip-hop came about. “My older brother was always a huge fan of hip-hop music, so I used to hang around him and listen. As the years went on, he began producing and rapping as well, so I started writing and rapping around 12 years old and haven’t stopped since.”

Our family’s musical influence always seems to be the strongest on our lives. We either merge with them and like entirely the same thing, or completely rebel to a style that is the exact opposite, but whether we notice it or not, that pattern tends to repeat itself.

I asked Empire who his

biggest influences were both personally and in his musical career and I have to say that I was not at all surprised by his answer.

“Right away I’d say my family. My mom and dad raised a household of being the best at whatever you wanted to pursue in life, so I try adapting that to my music. They are my number one supporters in everything I do.”

“My older brother is the reason I love hip-hop, so I can say he influenced me musically and continues to mentor me everyday.

My friends, my brothers, and supporters have been influential as well. They’re everything to me. As far as musical influences go, I’d say Big L, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Dilated Peoples and many more played a huge role in creating my overall sound.”

Empire’s musical influences shine through when you take a listen to his work. It is very clear to see that he has been inclined to work with the sounds of old-school greats who were the founding fathers of hip-hop.

“As funny as it sounds,” said Empire when asked what inspires him to write, “it doesn’t take music to inspire me to write. I’m always willing to, because it’s something that I love doing. I try to write something

new everyday, whether it be a new verse or a freestyle in the car. Always keeping the pencil sharp to the best of my ability.”

“A certain track that comes to mind at the moment is a song off of my new album Change For The Better called “I Love Beats.” This is a song that truly defines the hip-hop I love and hate in the same track. Having

you truly believe you can make it as. Most people have an easier time conforming than sticking to what they are passionate about, and I think it takes a lot of courage to stand behind something you know can change the world of music if people remember what it used to be.

“Since freshman year I’ve had amazing opportunities of performing at campus

that gritty 90’s vibe to the beat made it easier to speak my mind on the genre of hip-hop. The song truly is a story on why I love the hiphop culture. “ As a fellow artist myself, it is hard not to admire Empire for sticking to his beliefs in classic hip-hop. Sometimes as an artist today, it is easy to get persuaded one way or another when starting your career. Opinions are always coming from every corner and it is up to you to shut them out and focus on what

wide events such as Sigma Chi’s Sig Suit Competition, Derby Days, Delta Phi Epsilon’s Deepher Dude, St. Judes: Up ‘til Dawn, numerous events with BSU, WNHU 88.7FM, MIC (Music Industry Club) and Pep Ralley’s,” said Empire when I asked if UNH has facilitated his career in any way.

“Being exposed to the live music section of New Haven has been so beneficial, not to mention meeting other artists at the school, developing relationships that will

have us working together on music for a while.”

I am a huge hi-hop fan myself, and though I do love some artists today such as Drake and J-Cole, it is hard to find rappers of our generation who compare to those of the late 80s and early 90s. I was very excited to hear Empire say that his favorite song of all time was “The World is Yours,” by Nas, because that is one of my personal favorites as well.

“This song made me realize that everyone has the potential to be the best they can be in whatever they do. The world is in your hands, do what makes you happy and enjoy every second of it.

When it comes to an artist who truly paints a picture with their lyrics, Nas takes the crown. “The World Is Yours” is still being played through my speakers or headphones everyday.”

Only someone who truly loves hip-hop for what it was, is or could be, would be so majorly influenced by someone from a time when they were only in elementary school.

Empire’s fourth solo project, “Change For The Better,” is dropping on September 30, 2013 via Bandcamp & Datpiff.com.

“This full length project has been in the works over the past year while facing the challenges of an everyday student, artist and human being,” he says. “A lot of emotion and positive reinforcement was conveyed in these songs. This project features collaborations from Anabolic, Bryan Blox, K-Woody (UNH Student), Duzzo Dave, Catalina Gon-

zalez (UNH Student), Big IKE (Former UNH Student), D3 and Luke D (UNH Student). My objective for this project was to create hip-hop music that speaks to people from every background.

Every culture is different and as an artist I try to create an overall sound that brings everyone together.”

If you haven’t heard Jonny Empire yet, then I suggest you plug some headphones into your phone and start YouTubeing right now.

Actually, scratch the headphones and start playing it out loud while you walk down the hallway. Go home, sit in the living room with your roommates, and start playing some of his music, and I promise wherever you are, people are going to listen.

This is the kind of hip-hop the world needs more of, the kind that has a message behind reaching out of the realm of sex and drugs. This is the kind of music where you know the man rapping is just as genuine as the topics he is rapping about.

Be sure to check out “Change for the Better,” as soon as it drops on September 30, 2013, and support Jonny Empire plus some other amazingly talented UNH students.
