New degree to debut Fall 2013: Commercial Space Operations Yash Mehta

Guest Reporter Embry-Riddle’s new B.S. in Commercial Space Operations (CSO) became official following the approval by the Board of Trustees on Friday, March 22. The approval follows an announcement of the planned degree on Feb. 6 at the 16th Annual FAA Commercial Space Transportation Conference in Washington, D.C., and a year after work began on the program.

Dr. Lance Erickson, who will serve as the program coordinator for the degree, helped organize development of the program through the Applied Aviation Sciences Department and the Industry Advisory Council for the College of Aviation while on a sabbatical in Kiev, Ukraine as a Fulbright Scholar.

This first-of-its-kind degree offers students a chance to enter the commercial space industry in its early stages of growth. Last year was the first launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 commercial cargo vehicle to the International Space Station. Coming this year or next is the first tourist flights on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. These will be followed by a number of other NASA and commercial cargo vehicles, and more suborbital private space operators. By a fortunate coincidence, this new degree comes at a time when the

industry transitions from planning to flight operations just as the CSO graduates enter the market.

As part of the degree development, a survey was circulated within the budding commercial space industry and related agencies to help identify the appropriate curriculum for the new program. About two dozen companies provided feedback for structuring the Commercial Space Operations degree, in addition to several NASA and FAA managers.

Interviews with industries and agencies were also used to establish the importance of the skills of the degree graduates, and insight into how attractive the graduates would be as employees.

Representatives of the new space industry and the regulatory agencies included the NASA-KSC Director, and the office of NASA’s Commercial Crew program, officials from the FAA’s Commercial Space Transportation office, in addition to representatives of SpaceX, XCOR, United Launch Alliance, and others.

The new Commercial Space Operations degree will be offered beginning in the 2013-2014 academic year, with details published in the new 2013-2014 undergraduate catalog. The first classes will begin this fall with the space seminar class designated CSO 195 – Space Programs Seminar, a one credit introduction to the new CSO degree program that also covers

the commercial space industry.

A number of industry and agency representatives are also being slated as guest lecturers for the class.

Embry-Riddle’s new and exciting addition to its aerospace degree lineup includes an interdisciplinary core of 46 credits and a choice of two specializations: Space Policy and Operations, and Space Science and Technology. A total of 15 elective credits allows the student to include a minor as part of their program.

Areas of emphasis within the program include space human factors; space operations safety and security; space regulation and certification; space program and operations training; space policy and law; commercial space transportation launchers and flight vehicles; and spacecraft systems.

Details on the new non-engineering, technical degree program is available outline under the Daytona Beach undergraduate degree listings that can be found at http://daytonabeach.erau.edu/degrees/ undergraduate/commercial-space-operations/index.html Student catalog information for the program will be available with the publication of the new undergraduate catalog on or about May 1st.

Contact Dr. Lance Erickson for more information for the new CSO degree at 386/226-6474, or erickson@erau.edu.

Interfaith chapel to be renamed Rev. Melynne Rust

Campus Chaplain We are seeking a new name for the Interfaith Chapel. We are looking for a name that reflects how the facility currently functions as a place where students can find space, resources, and support to practice their religion, increase their faith, and/or nurture their spirit.

Although there are registered student organizations that are religious in nature using the facility, it is not used exclusively by these organizations; other student groups use the facility as well.

Although there are spaces within the facility that are designated specifically for religious purposes, it is not a facility that is used exclusively for religious purposes.

Non-religious students use the facility to seek space, resources, and support to nurture their spirit, the part of the self that seeks meaning, purpose, and connection.

Although non-religious students are welcomed and encouraged to use the facility, it is still a facility where religious students are also welcomed and encouraged to use the space, resources, and support to practice their religion, increase their faith, and nurture their spirit.

In considering a facility name change, we are in no way trying to avoid or limit or minimize religion or faith opportunities for students. For students of faith, we very much encourage and support their faith formation as central to their spiritual development.

The goal of the Chaplains Office is to encourage and support students in nurturing their spirit, and for students of faith, we encourage and support them within the framework of their faith commitment.

Although we are seeking a new name, we are not seeking to change how the facility is currently being used. Our goal is to have the name reflect the current

functions of the facility (for students to practice their religion, increase their faith and/or nurture their spirit) and reflect the diversity of students who currently use it (from all religious traditions as well as those who are not religious).

It is a place where ALL members of the ERAU family can come to dream the dreams of a clear spirit that lift the heart and mind and envision a better world because of what they will do for it.

University members were recently surveyed about possible names. The three most popular names among the students (across the spectrum of religious and non-religious beliefs) are “Center for Religious and Spiritual Life”, “Center for Faith and Spirituality,” and “Spiritual Life Center”.

Which name best reflects how the facility is used? Is there another name that might work better? We welcome your input! To vote, please email Chaplain Rust at rustm@erau.edu with your suggestions.

Riddle staff to shave for cancer cure Christoffer Laulund

Things 4 Thursdays This Thursday at the West Lawn: Well-known Embry-Riddle friend and Jet-Car driver Elaine Larsen will pay a visit to the heart of Embry-Riddle to support the National Children’s Cancer Society.

Moriah Counts, a longtime advocate for the cancer cause, has pulled together the fundraiser of the year; Cut for the Cure. Moriah and other volunteers will join Elaine outside the student center to raise awareness and funds for the cause.

Several volunteers will sacrifice their

hair in solidarity with cancer patients across the nation. Between 11:00am and 1:00pm we will be set up with a stage, microphone, and cutters.

Each volunteer has put a price on their respective hair and will sell portions of their hair for supporters to cut. Starting at $20 you could be the lucky person to cut/shave the hair off the volunteer of your choice!

At the time of writing, Moriah, Braxton Woodward and JJ Saccente have volunteered to shave their heads, Vincent Ramsey has volunteered his legs, and Christoffer Laulund has offered his chest. Mary Huval will also be donat-

ing hair.

In addition to the above mentioned hear shedding, a poster board will be available to honor loved ones that once fought or are currently fighting cancer for a smaller donation.

If you feel so inclined, you can also volunteer your head or other (appropriate) body part for shaving.

Dare to donate? Bring a full heart and full pockets out to the West Lawn this Thursday for a different kind of fundraiser!

Contact Moriah Counts at countsm@ my.erau.edu if you want to donate your hair or if you have any questions!

Rho Class Fights MS One Step at a Time Phat Le

Pi Kappa Alpha Not only did they show up before dawn but they walked to make a difference. Pi Kappa Alpha’s Rho Class attended the annual walk for MS, or multiple sclerosis, at Ormond Beach in the beginning of March. Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease that affects the central nervous system resulting in loss of abilities like speech and feeling.

More than 2.1 million people are affected by this devastating disease worldwide. Every year, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society holds multiple walks across the nation. These walks are in an effort to raise money for research to fight multiple sclerosis.

The Rho Class volunteered to show up early to set up and prepare for the day’s events.

This included setting up tents, tables, chairs, signs and even decorations. Not only did they set up but they also helped clean up the whole area afterwards. “In all the years of this event, I have never seen it been set up so fast and we have

never gotten out of here that quickly,” said the Charles Lawson, one of the directors of the event.

It was a lot of work but the students were proud they can make a difference.

Hundreds of people showed up to join these gentlemen to make a difference.

Everyone, from children to seniors, was present. Not only did they represent Pi Kappa Alpha but they also represented Embry Riddle.

It was a great opportunity for them as they also met actual Multiple Sclerosis patients. “It was wonderful to see the joy on these people’s faces when they saw college students willing to help such a great cause,” said student Chris Bogliole, “our class plans on reaching out to all of Embry Riddle next year to represent the strength of our student body.”

Pi Kappa Alpha’s Rho Class is the newest new member class for their fraternity. As new members they must uphold the values of the fraternity: Scholarship, Leadership, Athletics and Gentlemen.

This is done by setting goals that must be met before getting initiated into the prestigious fraternity. The 10

members of the Rho Class include: Cory Anderson, Chris Azcuy, Paul Klisz, Christopher Bogliole, Pierre Smith, Calvin Hargaray, Ben Ndjami, Lyle Pickles, Jorge Menendez, and Phat Le. This class started out with their goals set high. They plan on every member getting a GPA of 3.0 or higher, completing 630 hours of community service and raising $1200 of money in fundraising.

The MS walk was only one of the events they participated in. During this semester they have volunteered greatly at the Daytona 500, cleaned up the beaches in Daytona and worked with the Catholic Student Union on volunteer projects, such as, cleaning the Basilica of St. Paul’s. “I love the service that I do for these people, high goals just means high results,” said new member Lyle Pickles, “the support for service and high goals given by Pi Kappa Alpha has been amazing.”

The Rho Class is almost finished with their goals, so stay tuned to see how far these goals take them. With high goals in mind and a lot of character, where will the Rho Class show up next?

PIKE supports ERAU athletics Jake Avery

Pi Kappa Alpha The Pi Kappa Alpha chapter at EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University won another Greek intramural basketball championship this semester, but coaching the team to victory was ERAU’s very own Cesar Pastrana, number 55 on the men’s basketball team.

Cesar volunteered his time to work with Pi Kappa Alpha’s intramural team throughout the entire season. The team came together during practices and greatly improved as Cesar instructed them with the large amount of experience that he was able to provide. He even remained on the sidelines during games – getting absorbed in the action and coaching the team to an undefeated regular season.

The members of the Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) team appreciated having Cesar as a

coach; likewise, Cesar enjoyed giving his time to an organization that has always been a proud supporter of men’s basketball, and of ERAU athletics in general. The Pikes make up a large section of the crowd at every game, standing and showing their support for the team until the final buzzer.

Many Pikes even travelled alongside the team to the Sun Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament this Feb. in West Palm Beach, cheering the Eagles to an exciting victory against the Northwood Seahawks in double-overtime. Cesar recognizes and appreciates the loyalty of the fraternity – one of the reasons why he volunteered to give back to an organization that is so supportive. “It was good to see a connection forming between athletics and Greek life,” states Joe Pavicic, member of the championship intramural team.

“We hope for it to continue to grow in the future.”

PIKE have long been supporters of ERAU athletics and travelled with the team to the Sun Conference earlier in Feb. Pi Kappa Alpha is honored to share a mutual relationship with Embry-Riddle Athletics, one that they anticipate will continue to grow with their support and future events. Overall, both Cesar Pastrana and Pike’s intramural basketball team enjoyed working together, strengthening the mutual

support between athletics and the Greek community.

The members of Pike’s championship intramural team include Joe Pavicic, Duncan Miller, Matt Kress, Jake Malsam, Adam Martin, Brad Shipley, Matt Tatko, and Darren Dill.

ERRSA

On the last weekend of Spring Break, March 22-24, the Embry-Riddle Resident Student Association, ERRSA, attended the No Frills for the first time in over six years.

No Frills is an annual conference held for residence hall associations affiliated with the South Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls, SAACURH. The conference is intended just to go over the business for the regional organization, such as voting on legislation, electing the next regional board, voting on award recipients, etc.

This year’s conference was held in Tampa, FL at Florida Gulf Coast University.

The conference began on Friday evening with a dinner by their campus’s lake and then electing the new regional board.

On Saturday, the elections were completed and legislation was voted on. There

April 2, 2013

Joe Anderson

SGA Treasurer Throughout the entire year, the Finance Board has devoted their time and energy to improving the funding process for student organizations.

We have increased presentation times, adjusted the presentation format, changed the way that we review budget requests, and increased the amount of information that we share with student organization treasurers.

This semester, we have allocated more money than we could have ever dreamed possible: $126,822. To put that into perspective, that’s $10,800 more than what we were planning to allocate and $31,800 more than what we have allo-

cated in past terms.

This semester, the Finance Board doubled presentation times from 5 to 10 minutes with hopes of having focused and extended discussion.

However, during the first session of presentations, we were challenged and found that time was still inappropriate for the purpose. We made a drastic change that made a gigantic improvement.

We limited presentations to one consistent question: “What is your student organization most passionate about this semester and how is that reflected in your budget request?”

The Finance Board was also able to discuss and ask questions of the presenters in order to better understand each of

the 102 requests. These transformations have helped the Finance Board make educated and justified decisions.

The Finance Board also has also been able to share more information about the funding process. Before each organization’s presentation, organization treasurers were e-mailed with information regarding the presentation format, an example video of what a presentation might consist of, and links to the two new grading rubrics that show how requests are evaluated.

All of these changes have aided in the allocation of more funds.

In the last 11 semesters, an average of 24% of allocations were leftover each semester. In the same 11 semesters, the lowest amount leftover was 15%.

One of the ways I was able to allocate so much is that I utilized last semester’s uncollected funds. Another way is that I over-allocated by 10% with the assumption that student organizations will not be reimbursed for more than 15% of their allocations.

I’m proud that I have been able to responsibly increase funding to student organizations this semester and that the allocation process is more fair, consistent, informative, and efficient. It doesn’t stop here -- keep an eye out for more improvements!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call (386-226-7699), text (386-3343939), e-mail ( sgatres@erau.edu ), or see me in the SGA Office (SC 104).

your way out to the event and take advantage of what the SGA has to offer since the information may be useful to you anyway.

All present will be able to voice any comments or concerns to the professional staff members of Housing and Residence Life as well as the SGA and ERRSA president.

Following the Q&A will be a meet and greet while enjoying the free food Housing and Residence Life SGA representative has to offer.

The College of Business, Graduate, and International forum will be merged to present information about “Doing Business in Other Cultures”.

The event will consist of presentations and skits from faculty and students on business customs in countries near and far. A variety of international foods will be served afterwards.

The College of Engineering will be bringing to you students many representatives to engage in “speed-dating” with.

Engineering resources such as information on internships, representatives from different companies, and engineering professors will be available. Free food and

various prizes will be distributed during the forum.

Not an AS student but interested in attending the forum? No worries, join in anyway! The College of Aviation/Veteran forum will be bringing you the people who designed and are presenting their very own micro jet. As the rest of the forums, food will be provided.

Dates for forums are as follows: COE is Monday, April 8, COAS and COB/ Int./Grad is Tuesday, April 9, HRL is Wednesday, April 10, and COA/Vet is Thursday, April 11. Advertisements on campus will be posted stating more detail about times and locations.

Vets honored Gabbie Hoekstra

COA Representative Last month the Academic Committee awarded two students the Veteran of the Month award, an honor reserved for veteran students who go above and beyond to get involved on campus, maintain high grades, and make the Embry-Riddle community a better place.

Michael Augusto, a Homeland Security major, was nominated by his peers for being involved in his fraternity and taking leadership roles even before he was initiated.

As the recruitment chairman, he planned a successful rush week and improved the entire chapter’s recruitment technique by giving briefings to the rest of the brotherhood. Michael has also helped carry out fundraisers and plan the winter formal.

According to a fraternity brother, “The

values he was taught in the Marines are exemplified daily as his brotherhood extends to his fraternity.”

David Bortz, an Aeronautics major, is the Fundraising Committee Chairman of the Embry-Riddle Veterans’ Association.

He is in the process of securing an endowment for 2 million dollars towards a Veterans’ scholarship.

David was nominated by his peers for also being involved in the Sailing Club, the SGA as a Member at Large, and recently taking on the role of Avion Club Spotlight Writer. One of his peers said that his “positive energy is vital to our community.”

Congratulations, Michael and David!

These veterans’ hard work make a huge difference in the ERAU student body.

in the first game of the day, each posting three shutout innings to open the contest. However, the Gyrenes struck for seven runs combined in the fourth and fifth frames, a deficit the home team could not overcome against Bocchino and the visitors.

Saturday, April 6 @ 1:00pm Three hits for Ave Maria along with a hit at Thomas (DH) by pitch to start the inning led to three runs for the Gyrenes in the fourth. Modomo struck Sunday, April 7 @ 1:00pm out two Ave Maria batters in the inning, but

at No.21 South Carolina Beaufort (DH) the middle of the AMU order came through to take a 3-0 lead.

Embry-Riddle put the first two batters of the home-half of the fourth on base against Bocchino, but a sacrifice bunt followed by a Wednesday, April 3 @ 3:30pm foul out and strikeout kept the Eagles off the vs Webber International scoreboard and the momentum in the Gyrene dugout.

Saturday, April 6 @ 11:00am A throwing error to begin the fifth started the vs Warner ball rolling for Ave Maria as four runs would eventually come around to score on three hits, Sunday, April 7 @ 11:00am including one on a bases-loaded walk and two vs Lynn more on Sean Trymbiski's single down the right field line with two outs in the frame.

The Eagles were held hitless from the fifth

through the eighth, but the hosts were able to avoid just the second shutout at Sliwa Wednesday, April 3 @ 3:30pm Stadium in three years when Jordan Romero vs Webber International drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the ninth to push across the only run of the Saturday, April 6 @ 11:00am game for ERAU.

AVE MARIA EMBRY-RIDDLE

3 4

The get-away game for the Gyrenes looked similar to the first of the day as the Ave Maria offense gave Ethan Striz a 3-0 lead to work with, but the Eagles chipped away at the early deficit with a run in the fifth and sixth followed with two runs in the eighth, highlighted by Jordan Romero's two-out double to leftcenter that plated the game-winning run.

Stetson Nelson took the hill for the Blue and Gold, striking out three Gyrene hitters in the first two innings, but Striz matched Nelson by retiring the Eagles nearly in order for Ave Maria.

Nelson's first pitch in the third was ruled to hit Bobby Oliver despite Oliver offering at the pitch, and three singles later the Gyrenes had a 1-0 lead. A fielder's choice and sacrifice fly brought in two more runs for Ave Maria before Nelson ended the inning with a strikeout.

Striz held the Eagles scoreless in the third and fourth, but Johnson singled in a run in the fifth after Tyler Robbins was hit by a pitch with two outs. Robbins stole second before scoring on Johnson's base hit, but Johnson was thrown out trying to swipe second during the next at-bat, ending the threat for the Blue and Gold.

Nelson kept his team in the game, throwing up a zero on the scoreboard in the sixth, and his offense rewarded him with another run in the last of the inning, this time on Dillon Ennis' infield single that scored Lemon from third.

Both teams went quietly in the seventh and Ronnie Lozada relieved Nelson in the top of the eighth, but the relief man found himself in trouble after walking the first batter and hitting the second, causing Randy Stegall to call on Eric Green for the second time in two days.

A sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third and the Gyrenes elected to try a squeeze play with Trymbiski at the dish. The bunt was placed down the first base line, but Green made a fantastic play, scooping the ball to Adam Cellini at home who tagged the lead runner at the dish for the second out of the inning.

Green threw just three pitches to Aaron Pigna in the next at-bat, striking out the second baseman for the third and final out of the frame, keeping the contest at 3-2.

Striz gave up a leadoff single to Kyle Chastain in the home-half of the eighth, and the Eagle outfielder stole second before stealing third after a Cellini strikeout. With the infield in and one out, Ennis hit a ball at Alex Sanchez at short, but the senior infielder misplayed the ball and Chastain was able to race home to tie the game at 3-3. After another strikeout by Striz, Romero doubled to left center to score Ennis all the way from first, giving Embry-Riddle a 4-3 advantage.

Green struck out Oliver to begin the ninth, but Sanchez singled up the middle to put the tying run on base. Green punctuated his great weekend by getting Trace McDermott to ground a ball back to him on the mound which he threw to second before Romero rifled it to first for the game-ending double play.

Green (5-0) pitched the final two innings, giving up one hit while striking out two AMU batters. The DeLand, Fla. native lowered his ERA to 1.08 on the year in 33.1 innings out of the Eagle bullpen.

Lindheim finished 3-for-4 in the game, as Romero went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

Pink

Entertainment Manager The Wizard of Oz is one of the most renowned films ever created, and while Oz the Great and Powerful will never be the stylistic masterpiece that is The Wizard of Oz, the new film is a great movie which will take you back to the Land of Oz before Dorothy ever even thought about running away from home.

Oz the Great and Powerful is not the first movie to return to Oz, but it is the first to not make a debacle while doing so.

Previous Blaxploitation movies like The Wiz and the unofficial sequel to the original, Return To Oz have been so stupendously disastrous that studios have shied away from any kind of Oz follow up to avoid the backlash of destroying such a favorite classic film of the masses, *cough Indiana Jones 4 *cough. The new film’s return to Oz features the classic style of the first film keeping it true to the original and bringing nostalgia to the film.

The new films starts off as the first did, using sepia with 4:3 aspect ratio while in Kansas but transitions to color once the plot arrives in Oz. Keeping in line with the style of the original movie, the film uses rich and vibrant colors in Oz and features many bizarre creatures and plants of immense size. The new film features the return of flying monkeys to film, as well as the yellowbricked road, munchkins, and people flying via bubbles.

Although Oz the Great and Powerful

featured many of the iconic film pieces of The Wizard of Oz, the new film was missing a few of the classic icons of The Wizard of Oz, because just as no one but Disney is allowed have a rose that sparkles, no one but Warner Bros. can have red slippers.

Despite missing elements due to asinine copyrights, the effects of the film brought the movie out of the screen into the theater.

The 3D effects didn’t accomplish anything that they haven’t done before for any other 3D movie before it; however, the way in which the 3D effects were done in the film, not quite perfect but almost, make Oz the Great and Powerful a film worth paying the surcharge for 3D. The special effects of the film conveyed the right textures through the 3D subtly adding to each scene. The action in the film stayed true to the style film without having to resort to steampunk and was in pace with the background music.

The music for the film was composed by Danny Elfman who managed to stop himself from recycling the same soundtracks.

Despite an opening scene where Elfman indulges himself in his oft-repeated Batman/ Tim Burton music, the rest of the film was distinctly a Wizard of Oz style though not quite as intertwined with the plot.

The cast of the film featured some of the best cast-matching and casting that any film series has done. Michelle Williams play Glinda the good witch, though her acting is limited by her role, she has such a sweet and kind demeanor, I doubt anyone could have fit the role better.

James Franco who plays The Great and Powerful Oz is the same dick as the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz who was a jerk to everyone and ditched Dorothy at the end of the movie. Theodora the witch is portrayed by Mila Kunis who is able to take the sweet and innocent witch and turn her into manically evil and insane Wicked Witch of the West. Every one of the cast managed to bring their characters to a place where this prequel actually resembled a movie made 74 years ago.

Oz the Great and Powerful is the first successful follow-up film to The Wizard of Oz which managed to be great in every sense; the film is a medley of action, special effects, nostalgia, and emotion that this reporter is not ashamed to say brought some tears to my eyes.

Though the original film may be lost on

newer generations due to a lack of appreciation for classic film style, the new Wizard of Oz film is for everyone.

Whether you’re looking to revisit the Land of Oz and relive the classic film, or

discovering Oz for the first time, Oz the Great and Powerful is a magical journey that will transport you to a faraway land, where for 2 hours you’ll be entertained by bizarre creatures and magical feats.

Tasman Red is not a beer for those who’ve just turned 21, nor for enjoying with friends, but it is a beer for those who really really enjoy IPAs. This beer has a very strong tastes of the hops it’s made from as along with some sweet malts which will leave a strong bitter taste of malts in your mouth; however, if you stop and enjoy, and I use that word very loosely, the taste you will notice that the beer also has a light and fruity citrus taste in the background. Despite its low alcohol content if you’re not careful this beer will knock you on your butt in a brief amount of time, especially if you’re trying to get through it as quickly as you can bear.

Derek Walters

Guest Reporter In the months since the latest attack on gun rights, people have flocked to the gun stores buying up, quite often, literally every last gun, bullet, magazine and accessory. It does not take an economics major to understand the laws of supply and demand and how they apply to guns just as much as food or gasoline.

Most semi automatic rifles have doubled in price and the ammo for them has tripled. Handguns so far have retained most their standard prices without too much of a rise if any. The ammunition for those handguns, however, is hard to get now.

A combination of a rush to stock up on guns and ammo before a potential political ruling combined with the Department of Homeland Security’s massive purchase of 2 billion rounds of ammo have left shelves dry and prices high. And people are adapting.

I could write an entire paper’s worth of the DHS’s ammo buys and the dangerous information surrounding it, but today I will evaluate a popular alternative to people shooting the most popular pistol rounds like .380, .38, 9mm, .40 and .45. That alternative is the humble .22. There are many .22 handguns and revolvers out there, but I have been shooting one that I have really come to like. It is the Smith and Wesson M&P-22.

A lot of gun makers offer .22 versions of their center fire handguns and rifles.

The reason being you can have a handgun that looks and feels like the 9mm, or 40 or 45 version of that pistol, and be able to

practice with it using cheap and plentiful ammo.

It is also good for teaching, as a 22 has very little recoil. So what makes this pistol so special? Well it is actually made by Walther, which is a German manufacturer.

Those who know German products know they are made very well with very

high attention to detail.

U n l i k e it’s center fire calibers, it does not have interchangeable back straps, which allows the user to slightly cust o m ize the grip for a more personal fit. It does have a good feel though and is well balanced.

The slide is made aluminum rather than stainless steel like it’s big brothers so it is quite light. It has partially ambidextrous controls. The safety and slide release can be operated on either side of the pistol.

OVERALL

Going off several recommendations, I tried the new pizza café, Tony’s. This fine establishment is located in the exact same location as several other failed businesses near Publix, i.e. Mama Brava’s, Daily Grind Coffee House. Restaurants come and go from this particular spot faster than Johnny Damon switches MLB teams. Keeping this in mind, I ventured forward.

Tony’s Pizza is all about the New York Slice. A full menu offers up everything you would expect from a pizza joint such as garlic bread, calzones and pizza, however the

zine release can be put on either side of the pistol, you would need to take the pistol apart. I researched how to do it and the process seems a bit annoying and the pistol I shot was not mine so I did not want to mess it up. But it can be done.

At the range it performed very well. The salesman at Florida Gun Exchange,

list goes on with buffalo wings, salads, pastas and a range of desserts.

In an effort to get the full effect, my party ordered a cheese pizza, a calzone, a stromboli, garlic knots and a slice of cheese pizza by itself. A friendly waitress was quick to help us and she also informed us our food was all going to be cooked fresh, thus justifying a slightly long wait time.

The garlic knots came out first and delivered a great first impression. Combined with soft dough and garlic dipping sauce, these knots were unmatched by anything in the Daytona area. The arrival of the calzone and Stromboli delivered similar performances.

A wide range of potential fillings allows the guest to get the most out of their meal.

The last to arrive was the pizza. The single slice of cheese was enormous, roughly estimating to a quarter of a large pizza. Sadly, the slice didn’t live up to the hype. Rather bland, it was nothing to write home about.

The full pizza we ordered fell into the same boat.

Tony’s delivers a nice pizza place close to home that differs from the large pizza establishments in the area. Based on my visit, I would recommend trying it out the calzone, stromboli and garlic knots rather than the pizza itself. Nevertheless, I would be open to trying one of their “gourmet pizzas” in a future visit, which might provide a different outcome for the taste of the pie.

Atmosphere gets a four because it looks like a quintessential pizza café, but there was a little confusion of whether to sit down or order at the counter first. Based on the turnover of this location, make a visit sooner than later as Tony’s might not be around for long.

who sold it to the owner said to keep the pistol very oiled up for the first hundred rounds or so. And we did.

It may have about 600 rounds through it since then and it has not had a single failure, jam, mis-feed, extraction failure or any other issues besides perfect operation, which is astonishing for most 22’s.

By comparison I temporarily adopted a Sig Sauer Mosquito 22 pistol and I put all types of 22 ammo though it with both springs and cleaned it a lot but it just could not get through a magazine without messing up.

But the Smith and Wesson eats up all types of 22. It is easy to shoot and accurate. I was able to hit a target about the size of a half dollar from about 15 yards consistently. The 12 round magazine also performed flawlessly.

I would not suggest a .22 for a defense purposes but it comes with a picatinny

rail on the frame to attach a light or laser.

And as the saying goes, a small gun in the hand beats a big one in the safe. As for the sights, you get a standard notch-post set up with a white dot on the front post.

The rear sight is adjustable for elevation as well.

Drawbacks? Well at a tad under $400 it is not the cheapest 22, but you do get what you pay for and this pistol is worth every penny. Some downsides apply to all 22 pistols though so it is not the fault of this pistol but must be mentioned.

It is a bit annoying to take apart and clean and it is not ok to dry fire it, meaning squeezing the trigger with no round in the chamber. But it wont fire if the magazine is not in it so that is an extra step the designers put in place to discourage dry firing. I know some people would like the interchangeable back straps to fit their hand better.

And a fully ambidextrous magazine release would be nice. But it seems like some of these features were purposely omitted in order to save cost and I think they chose just enough to omit to make it a good but affordable handgun.

If they had put on the extra features it may have driven the cost out of the zone most would pay and if they cut too much it would sacrifice quality and the Germans don’t do that, nor does Smith and Wesson.

After all the main idea of a 22 is to save cost. The engineers set to create this pistol in the spitting image of its bigger brothers and I am happy to report that they have pulled it off. It’s fantastic.
