Members of the Chi Omega sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity work on their facade for this year’s ThurtenE Carnival. ThurteneE junior honorary, the group behind the carnival, has picked the Belle Center as its charity. WEI-YIN KO NEWS EDITOR ThurtenE honorary has decided to donate its proceeds from this weekend’s carnival to the Belle Center. This charity assists children with developmental delays and disabilities, as well as their families. The center focuses on helping these children to be included in their home communities, according to its website. “We picked the Belle Center this year because it benefits children with disabilities through inclusion to normal life,” said Ryan Dawson, president of

ThurtenE honorary. “Their main goal is to include children with disabilities into normal children’s life, such as putting them in normal schools. They also teach parents and teachers how to help these children.” According to Dawson, the honorary chooses to sponsor a charity based on how much it impacts the St. Louis community. The Belle Center runs three programs: the Outreach Therapy Program, Center-Based Preschool Program and Families as Partners Program. Washington University’s annual ThurtenE Carnival, the

oldest and largest student-run carnival in the nation, will take place this weekend in front of Brookings Hall. In addition to traditional fairground rides, the carnival will feature performances, facades and food booths that fraternities and sororities have spent months working on. According to ThurtenE’s website, more than 50 groups, hundreds of students from Washington University and thousands of people from the greater St. Louis area will come together for the Carnival.

Broken Clocktower to be xed Former economic aide to Obama stresses progressive taxation

MICHAEL TABB NEWS EDITOR Most broken clocks are only right twice a day. After remaining stationary at 1:55 for several weeks, each face of the South 40 Clocktower was frozen at a different time on Tuesday. The inner mechanics of the Clocktower are currently being repaired. This is the first time the Clocktower has failed since it was erected in 2000. Repairs on the Clocktower began almost a month ago when the clock did not transition to daylight saving time and Facilities tried to reset it manually. After operating for about a week, it stopped. According to Bill Riley, director of maintenance operations, the entire inner movement of the clock is currently being shipped to Cincinnati to be rebuilt. “We called in the manufacturer’s representative from the company that made [the clock] and actually installed it, and their report

Christina Romer, former chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers, served as the keynote speaker at Washington University’s Livable Lives Initiative’s first public event. The Livable Lives Initiative is a University-wide program led by the Center for Social Development that seeks to explore the effects of policy changes on Americans in low and middle class income brackets. Romer’s address highlighted the importance of reducing unemployment in the U.S. She argued that the government needs to do more to boost economic recovery at a faster rate. The speech was

followed by a panel discussion with four Washington University professors. Romer spent much of 2009 and 2010 working on economic policy in Washington, advising President Obama and leading efforts in health care reform and financial recovery. Her most recently published works concern the effects of tax structures on long-run economic growth, and she holds a research and teaching appointment at the University of California, Berkeley. Student Life sat down with Romer to talk about tax structures, government spending and the economic policy issues that will face our generation.

lgbt frOM pAgE 1 LGBT advisory board, which is made up of faculty and staff, was also very helpful during that time.” Finally, in the summer of 2010, the University hired Michael Brown’s successor, Bonifield. “I wanted to continue my work as an advocate, but in a different context, Bonifield said. “Working with college students specifically on issues related to sexuality and gender seemed to be a logical next step for me [after graduation].” In 2006, Chancellor Mark Wrighton appointed a task force to investigate the possible help and resources that could be allocated to the LGBT community on campus. The position of coordinator for LGBT student involvement and leadership came about as the task force determined that more visible support was needed for the LGBT community on campus. The position was created in May 2007 via a Student Union resolution. With the new coordinator in place, LGBT is expected to continue pursuing its mission of creating programs and resources to support the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body with particular attention paid to the needs and concerns of the LGBT community. “My predecessor, Michael Brown, laid the framework for the LGBT student involvement and leadership position,” Bonifield said. “I hope to continue his efforts and work with students and the LGBT advisory board to pursue new LGBT-related initiatives.” Bonifield indicated that first and foremost, she hopes that students will continue to see the LGBT coordinator as a resource for them. She plans to work on a graduate and undergraduate mentorship program, a special graduation ceremony, an initiative for alumni engagement and the annual

Holobaugh Honors. She will also be acting as the advisor for various campus groups such as Pride Alliance, Safe Zones, Open and the Alternative Lifestyle Association. “I think it’s important to make sure that students are involved in all levels of the decision-making process,” Bonifield said. “I look forward to responding to current issues and continue to improve the current structure of the position.” So far, Bonifield has been working closely with student groups. “We have contact with her on a weekly basis and [Saida] is extremely helpful with the planning of events to reach a larger audience,” said junior Adrienne Sands, the co-president of Pride Alliance. “She is very involved in helping us with the reorganization of our constitution. She is also very active in bringing the different LGBT student groups together.” Bonifield received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Kansas in Spanish literature in 2005. She spent three semesters abroad during college, including one year in Costa Rica and a semester in Spain. When she was not studying abroad, she volunteered at the local domestic violence shelter and helped to organize various related campus events like Take Back the Night, Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Upon graduation, Bonifield lived in San Francisco for a year working in the nonprofit field before returning to Kansas to work full time as an advocate for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She continued this work before deciding to make a career change and pursue a master’s degree in higher education administration.

but also has proven to have indirect benefits. In response to this research, many professors in the psychology department have begun including periodic quizzes at the end of class, a movement initiated by McDermott. “For me, it seems to be a really good way to encourage students to keep up with the material and to be in class and ask questions if they don’t understand, in addition to the fact that taking the test itself helps to solidify memory,” McDermott said. She began to employ this strategy in response to her findings regarding the phenomenon of test-potentiated learning. “The idea is that when you take a test with stuff you have studied a little bit, taking that test gets you ready to get more [out of it] when you study it again in the future.” McDaniel points out that another benefit of testing is the promotion of transfer, or the ability to relate what one learns to other ideas within the topic. “This retrieval [practice] isn’t just helping people learn a particular answer, it’s helping them learn more about the entire concept.” This research, says McDaniel, has shown that trying to recall information is also helpful in organizing the information in one’s mind. By quizzing themselves, students can gauge what information they understand well, and which areas may need more attention. “To effectively study,” he said, “you need accurate ‘metamemory.’ You need to know what you don’t know.” McDaniel also recommends relating the

information one learns to other concepts, making it less arbitrary by forming mental associations. “One way to really produce good memory is to find some way to meaningfully relate and understand the information,” he said. “We call that ‘elaborative interrogation,’ answering why certain things might be true.” McDermott agrees that if students understand the material and it makes sense to them, they won’t have to try to remember the information—they just will. “Work actively with it,” she said. “Ask questions. Take notes. Effort and understanding is really the key when trying to memorize.” So why are all these students still studying in ineffective ways? One main reason is time constraint. Many students wait to study until only days before the test, and therefore don’t feel that they have enough time to study, quiz, repeat. Another technique backed by all three University professors is to space out studying over a longer period of time. McDermott said spacing not only prevents the stress of lastminute cramming, but it also gives students more time to consolidate what they have learned through self-quizzing. “If you space out your studying, and quiz yourself throughout the semester, you’re going to be much better off than if you wait until the last minute,” she said.

EnvIrOnMEnt frOM pAgE 1 studies students more research opportunities in the biology fields. The second new major option is environmental earth sciences. “It is very science-heavy, but it is very interdisciplinary,” said David Fike, assistant professor of earth and planetary sciences. “It also ties in a very organic way to some social science aspects.” The environmental earth sciences major is more hard science-intensive than the old geoscience track of environmental studies. It affords more options in its basic requirements than does earth and planetary sciences. But students only have to complete one semester of physics and are not required to take Calculus III. More of an emphasis is placed on environmental ethics than on the hard science of the environment. Students can choose to focus their studies in one of three areas: climate and energy, human-altered environments and life in its environments. The final major option, environmental social science, will be housed in the political science department. “Our focus is to try to think about a major that would allow you to study human interactions with the environment,” said William Lowry, associate professor of political science. While the major will be in the political science department, it will also include classes from other departments, including anthropology and economics. According to Lowry, the foundation courses for this track may be Earth and the Environment,

In “Lisbon,” The Walkmen embrace and celebrate the melancholy and longing that flowed throughout their 2008 elegiac downer, “You & Me.” These NYC indie-rock veterans have always leaned toward the darker side, but “Lisbon” flirts with feelings of happiness and contentment. Vocalist Hamilton Leithauser captures this mixture of sentiments in the chorus of the horn-laden album standout “Stranded,” when he shouts, “I’m stranded, and I’m starry-eyed.” There’s a glimmer of hope in even the most downcast tracks, whether it be the jangly guitar line of “Woe Is Me” or the unexpected string section in “Blue As Your Blood.” This would all seem terribly trite if it weren’t for the masterful presence of Leithauser, who manages to simultaneously play the roles of mopey crooner and triumphant rabble-rouser. Leithauser is in a class of his own, vocally. He wails like he’s exorcising the spirits of Frank Sinatra and a young Elvis Presley from his vocal chords. When paired with the band’s dynamic, not-quitefolk sound, this makes a particularly effective combination. The Walkmen let you have it both ways: you can fist-pump with one hand while wiping away tears with the other. Trey Weaver

An apocalyptic end is not just the subject of Linkin Park’s fourth studio album, “A Thousand Suns,” but also its result, pushing the band off the rock stage forever. After their last release presented a questionable but substantial break from their old rap-rock style, Linkin Park hasn’t just taken a step backward with this release—they’ve tripped and fallen on their head. The band rarely touches on their once-great aptness for heavy guitars, yelling and angst-filled rapping. Lead singer Chester Bennington used to belt out powerful, melodic vocals, but now his voice only chants disgusting raps. It’s enough to sadden even a die-hard Linkin Park fan—if there are any left. The album’s only redeeming quality is that it is at least trying to be creative. But of course, the band overdoes it. “A Thousand Suns” is experimental pop at its worst, and it isn’t worth the money.

Fans of The Killers should start praying that the pop-rock band’s hiatus doesn’t last much longer. Otherwise, their lead singer, Brandon Flowers, might make another solo album. Instead of holding fans over until the Killers’ next release, Flowers’ Vegas-themed debut, “Flamingo,” makes us miss his band and all of its synthesized glory. A lot. The only song that was worth playing on repeat was “Crossfire,” reminiscent of the sweeping anthems of “Sam’s Town.” The delicate guest vocals of Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley) barely save the song “Hard Enough.” “Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts” has a Mr. Brightside-esque punch to it, but even that isn’t enough to redeem the album. On the whole, the album is bland and lacking, both in melody and lyrics. While it does have The Killers’ melodramatic flair, it’s missing the catchiness that keeps people listening. Packaged with unimaginative guitar and piano arrangements, Flowers’ lyrics about devils, angels, Vegas and lost loves squander any power they could have had. Becky Mak

The album’s only redeeming quality is that it is at least trying to be creative. But of course, the band overdoes it. “A Thousand Suns” is experimental pop at its worst, and it isn’t worth the money.

Most broken clocks are only right twice a day. After remaining stationary at 1:55 for several weeks, each face of the South 40 Clocktower was frozen at a different time on Tuesday. The inner mechanics of the Clocktower are currently being repaired. This is the first time the Clocktower has failed since it was erected in 2000. Repairs on the Clocktower began almost a month ago when the clock did not transition to daylight saving time and Facilities tried to reset it manually. After operating for about a week, it stopped. According to Bill Riley, director of maintenance operations, the entire inner movement of the clock is currently being shipped to Cincinnati to be rebuilt. “We called in the manufacturer’s representative from the company that made [the clock] and actually installed it, and their report

ADVERTISING POLICIES 1. Washington University Student Media, Inc. (WUSMI) reserves the right to reject or edit any advertisement for any reason, at any time prior to publication. Only printing of an advertisement signifies acceptance. We also reserve the right to print “Paid Advertisement” on any ad which closely resembles editorial material. 2. Page position can be purchased for a premium of 25% of the space cost. Without payment of the premium, placement can not be guaranteed, but requests for position will be honored whenever possible. 3. Student staff are not authorized to quote any rates, policies or discounts which deviate from the current published rates. 4. In the event an advertisement runs containing an error that is clearly the fault of WUSMI and detracts from the intended message, it is the advertiser’s responsibility to notify the sales manager within two days of the publication date in which the error occurred. After this period, WUSMI is exempt from any liability for the error. 5. In the event an ad containing an error which detracts from the intended message of the advertisement runs in more than one issue, a billing adjustment will only be made for the first insertion. 6. WUSMI will be under no liability for late delivery due to any natural occurrence or printer error. 7. It is the policy of WUSMI to protect the creative ideas, design and artwork of an advertiser from being duplicated by another advertiser. 8. WUSMI will not knowingly accept any advertisement that violates any federal, state or local laws or encourages discrimination against any individual group on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, color, creed, religion, national origin or disability. 9. A $50 service charge will be assessed on all returned checks.

TERMS & CONDITIONS 1. Payment Terms: Invoices for current charges, statements for past due amounts and tearsheets are mailed at the end of each calendar month. Pre-Payment is due by the deadline of the first ad insertion. All new accounts must prepay for at least six months. After six months you may request to be billed monthly. Approval to be billed is at the discretion of the advertising manager. Upon approval, billable accounts are still required to keep a current credit card on file that will be charged if payment is not received within thirty days. Accounts more than thirty days overdue are considered delinquent and may be canceled at the discretion of the advertising manager. A service charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) will be assessed on past due accounts. If collection services are warranted due to non-payment, a recovery fee of $295 will be assessed and added to the advertiser’s final bill. Overdue accounts will be referred to our collection agency. Expenses incurred by WUSMI during the collections process are the responsibility of the debtor. 2. Edit or Reject Copy: WUSMI reserves the right to edit or reject any advertisement for any reason at any time prior to publication. Only printing of an ad signifies acceptance.

All copy and artwork must be submitted with the initial ad request. After the first proof, subsequent copy or artwork changes will be charged an additional fee of $35. Ads submitted for design within 5 business days of publication may be subjected to an additional $75 rush priority charge. 4. Billing Adjustments: WUSMI assumes no financial responsibility for errors in advertisements beyond the cost of space actually occupied by the advertisement in which the error is made. Lack of, or a subjective view of creativity will not be a factor in awarding advertisers credits or make goods. WUSMI will only be responsible for an ad’s first incorrect insertion. 5. Defend and Indemnify: The advertiser and advertising agency (if any) agree to defend and indemnify WUSMI against any liability arising from claims of libel, unfair competition, patents, violation of rights of privacy and infringement of copyrights and proprietary rights resulting from publication of an advertisement. 6.

Columbia College Chicago Founded in 1890 as a college of elocution, the mission of Columbia College has been to educate students who will communicate creatively and shape the public’s perceptions of issues and events. Columbia College Chicago has since grown into the largest arts and media college in the nation, with approximately 12,000 current undergraduate and graduate students, as well as more than 100,000 alumni, making our “network” among the largest of any arts and media college in the world.

The Loop Located in the Columbia Arts District in the heart of Chicago’s South Loop, Columbia College is just steps away from Chicago’s museum campus and a short bus or train ride from hundreds of theatre and music venues, independent film festivals, and galleries. Home to more than 13,000 residents and over 2,500 businesses, the South Loop is one of the fastest growing areas in downtown Chicago.

BY COLIN BOOTH

Electrical problems cause PRT breakdown Wednesday every time I ride the PRT it seems there is some sort of problem,” said Alex Bousquet, sophomore pre-forensic and investigative science major. “Whether it’s a 20 or 30 minute wait or the thing just dies.” However, Bousquet said without the breakdowns, the PRT is a good way to move around campus. “It’s a quick way to move around, but with the delays, the response time is slow as ever,” he said. The PRT was also shut down following WVU’s season-opening football game against Liberty last Saturday.

A passenger attempted to open either a door or window while the car was in motion causing major delays, according to Kierig. “That shut down the entire system,” Kierig said. “When that happens, it takes a long time because the computer thinks someone is trying to get out, and it shuts off the electricity to the whole system.” The shut down affected all stations. “The system loses track of where the cars are, and it snowballs and causes major problems,” Kierig

added. Members of the University Police Department will be present around and inside all PRT stations for the upcoming game against East Carolina University this Saturday, Kierig said, because of damage done to the Beechurst PRT station by “unruly students” last week. “Well we are working with the UPD,” Kierig said. “We will have police presence on the PRT platforms implementing a no alcohol policy.” john.narvin@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia University Boards of Governors and several other University officials have filed legal briefs with the Monongalia Circuit Court, after the judge in the case changed her decision to hear their arguments with the final ruling.

Those motions were filed by the BOG, former interim University President C. Peter Magrath, WVU academic integrity officer Marjorie McDiarmid and WVU attorneys Mary Roberta Brandt and Beverly D. Kerr.

Faulty equipment and software issues that led to disruptions to the main scoreboard and ribbon boards at Milan Puskar Stadium Saturday should not be an issue at this weekend’s game against East Carolina. Senior associate athletic director for administration and finance Russ Sharp said a faulty power supply caused a black stripe to appear on the main scoreboard’s video display. The black strip appeared during the pre-game entrance video, which is aired before the team enters the field from the tunnels. Sharp said the unit was unable to be replaced while the game was in play, adding it was replaced shortly after the win against Liberty. “If you were there 20 minutes after, it looked fine,” Sharp said. “Of course, that didn’t do anybody any good during the game.” Chris Ostein, senior producer and director at Mountaineer Sports Network, said no issues occurred during tests the week prior to the game and expected the same for the game. “If it’s working all week and working during pre-game, you expect it to work during the game,”

What We’re All About For 108 years, the Daily Orange newspaper has been a ritual of daily life on the Syracuse University (“SU”) campus. In 2009, The Princeton Review rated this free and widely available newspaper as the 18th most popular campus newspaper in the country – out of thousands of competitors. For a detailed report on our readers and our paper see page ii.

READERSHIP SURVEY RESULTS 2011 - 2012 Media Kit

Here’s What Our Readers Have to Say:

FACT: 85% of people responded that they are satisfied with The D.O. distribution locations.

The Daily Orange survey had approximately 600 respondents during a two week period in the Fall 2010 Semester. The survey consisted of 29 questions about respondents’ usage and attitudes of The Daily Orange, and about their buying behaviors.

“I always read the print version since it’s always available in every building I have class in, so there’s never a need to visit the website.” - survey respondent

Six Top Themes Suggested by Survey Data: The NewHouse Agency, the official, student-run ad agency of Syracuse University, conducted and analyzed the responses. Six themes emerged that reflect the behaviors and attitudes of The Daily Orange’s readers.

#1 Local area readers pick up the paper frequently, but are not using the online version daily. #2 The majority of readers are happy with the current availability of the newspaper. #3 Readers are most interested in reading (or receiving) news stories about events that are personally relevant to them.

#4 Readers consume a voracious amount of media, with newspapers trailing only TV and internet. #5 Readers are mobile, frequently visiting a variety of places in the CNY area. #6 Eating (out and in) is the number one activity and expense of college students.

They Spend Over $400 a Month on Consumer Items:

the larger the ad, the better the value!

An integral part of the campus community since 1903, The Daily Orange is simply the most direct and effective method of reaching out to the Syracuse University community. While there are decades of market research to prove it, the best evidence is a short walk around campus: you’ll find a D.O. in nearly every student’s hand or backpack, sitting on tables, and offered in distribution boxes in every building. Advertisers have many options to fit regular advertising into their budgets, from small ads that cost less than $40 each time, to large full page, 4-color ads that no reader will miss. By advertising with us, you are buying more than a rectangle on a page, your ad will generate results while you make a priceless investment in journalism education. Competition for the student dollar in Syracuse is fierce, as many businesses depend on student, faculty, and SU visitor spending. If you look at our frequent local advertisers, you’ll recognize the names of successful businesses, both long running operations and recent start-ups. Research shows that advertising in The D.O. works. But before you jump in, you need a successful marketing strategy. Your D.O. sales rep is a current student, and can work with you and our ad designers to create eye-catching ads that highlight the products or services you offer to the SU community.

Inserts, Posters, and Sticky Notes... Oh My!

2011 - 2012 Media Kit

>> There are a variety of alternative advertising options that The Daily Orange offers. Opportunities abound to reach the SU community in places they won’t expect. Stand Alone with an Insert If you have a flyer or stand alone advertisement that works for you, inserting them directly into an issue of The D.O. is an inexpensive way to “leaflet” the SU community.

COST PER THOUSAND

$60 BUT! AS LOW AS $30

Per thosand for our bulk customers or for multiple inserts.

Please ensure inserts arrive at our printer, ready to go, at least 4 business days in advance of the scheduled insert date. Inserts that include extraneous material, such as CDs, DVDs, and perfume samples, will be charged an extra fee, determined by The Daily Orange business staff on a case-by-case basis.

Sticky Notes: Bring Your Ad to the Front Page! Front page sticky notes “pop” off the page adding impact to your advertising campaign. This is the fastest growing style of advertising – for good reason. This color sticker is placed on the upper right hand corner of the front page. Cost: $450 for 4,000 papers (does not include cost of sticker printing, approximately $150 per 4,000). Due to the time-intensive nature of sticker application, we are only able to offer them on half of our daily print run. However, we will work with you on concentrating the distribution to meet your needs. Please note: The lead time for sticky note advertising is much longer than regular print advertising. You must provide the printed stickers, which can require processing. Add a second day of 4,000 sticky notes for just $300 (and save on sticky note printing!).
