Chancellor Brian Rogers has released an official statement regarding the student government resolution that asks for the policies and practices of the Department of Residence Life.

“I will have a third party review of our Residence Life program completed by human resource and student services professionals,” Rogers said.

“The review will include opportunities for students and staff to share their thoughts and suggestions.”

Rogers expects the review to begin within the next 30 days and for the investigation’s results to be shared with the UAF community after the summer break.

Questionable practices “Concert Board is a governance council receiving money from ASUAF, receives twice as much money as the Sun Star and a little less than KSUA,” Reid said. “They hosted a concert that was only available to student 21 and older. The money to host the concert came from students of all ages though.”

Reid asked senators if Concert Board received revenue from the concert, whether there were underage members on the Concert Board and if it was ethical that the concert board hosted a concert that only students over 21 could attend. The senators discuss whether it was right or wrong for the concert to be exclusive.

“I think it is inappropriate for Concert Board to be spending money from all students on a small group of students,” Reid said.

“I think they failed their governance agreement.”

“I think we failed for not having a heavy hand when KSUA held their 20th anniversary in the Pub, exluding underage students,” Hahn said.

Indie rock band Cults perform at UAF Elika Roohi Sun Star Reporter

and when they heard they were going to be performing in Anchorage, decided to try to bring them to Fairbanks.

The New York indie rock band Cults packed the Pub on Saturday night as the culmination of Winter Carnival activities.

Their show in Fairbanks was the last performance in a very long tour, and the band was excited to wrap things up in a place they had never been before, according to Follin.

Singer Madeline Follin and guitarist Brian Oblivion met in 2010 when they were both film students in New York City.

They recorded several songs and released an EP on Bandcamp, a site mainly used by independent artists to promote themselves. From there, the band went on tour to promote their music and was signed by a prominent label in 2011.

The group was brought up

by UAF’s Concert Board, which brings artists up to Fairbanks several times a year. According to the News-Miner, the Concert fans enjoyed the Cults performance at the Pub on Saturday night, showing their support by crowd surfing. Feb. 22, 2014.

This was the second time that Student Activities has held ice dodgeball. The first event that took place came during SpringFest 2013 as a replacement for mud volleyball because of unusually cold weather.

“We thought we’d do just a fun ice dodgeball night here and that’s what this night has been,” DiSarro said, adding that he was happy with the turnout.

DiSarro says it is uncertain when the next ice dodgeball event, but it may be used as a backup plan for mud volleyball in case of bad weather for this year’s SpringFest.

In the spring of ‘83, Vice Chancellor of Student and University Advancement Mike Sfraga, at the time a student at UAF, posed for a photo in reportedly minus 60 degree temperatures.

“In 1983, Larry Klein, a master’s degree student in oceanography, and I braved the January weather to take an ill-advised photo on the roof of the Mods,” Sfraga commented in an official response to the photo. “More popularly nicknamed by the students ‘the train wreck,’ these ATCO-type units were a popular (yet chilly) housing alternative to our more traditional residence halls. Upper classman had priority to live in the units. The ‘train wreck’ was comprised of multi-story units layered one on top of the other crossways – resembling stacked train cars – running east to west and west to east.

The complex was located on the east side of the hill headed down from Moore Hall to Lathrop Hall – adjacent to Cooper Lane. The structure was removed many years ago.”

resentation of the state of Alaska. White middleaged parents occupy a large majority of the room with their sons or daughters, while Alaska Natives make up an estimated 15% of room, proportional to the demographics of the state.

All too often, a university is somewhat removed from the town it occupies.

Diversity is lower, average income is higher, and life is a little less chaotic at a university.

The college I attended in Maine was located in an old mill town with high drug rates, a large population of Somali refugees, and countless struggling businesses. Yet all of that diversity and disarray could easily be avoided and even ignored if you chose never to leave campus. Although it serves little actual purpose now, the section of campus that was built when the college was founded in 1855 still has an iron gate sur-

rounding it. In Fairbanks, the location serves as the university’s gate, with the buildings and students settled happily on a hill overlooking the bustling city.

My trip to the DMV reminded me how little I leave campus and surround myself with the people that make this city and state what it is.

While I was filling out the necessary paperwork, the woman behind the counter at the DMV informed me that I was required to “surrender” my New York license in order to receive my new Alaska license.

I hesitated for a moment, but took a look around the room and was able to appreciate the chaos and diversity that is unique to this city and state. I quickly decided that if I plan to make a new life in Alaska, which I do, then I should embrace the place that I can now call home.
