ASU wants to increase study abroad numbers. What you need to know before you pack your bags Jorge Salazar • College Times Visiting foreign countries is one thing almost all college students would like to experience, but sometimes they feel they lack the guidance or finances to do so.

ASU, in partnership with the Institute of International Education (IIE) is looking to change that. According to the IIE, less than a tenth of all U.S. college students study abroad during their collegiate experience.

IIE’s Open Doors Report on International and Educational Exchange study found that only 295,000 students studied abroad during the 2011/2012 school year. As part of its Generation Study Abroad initiative, the organization has pledged to grow those numbers to 600,000 nationally.

“What IIE basically said is that in five years they want to double the amount of us students studying abroad,” says Jennifer Malerich, senior director for curricular activities and action at ASU. “So we’ve committed to a 20 percent increase in our student population studying abroad during that time frame.”

Malerich says studying abroad offers students an opportunity to develop themselves and learn new skills that will be applicable in their academic, professional and personal lives.

“By developing intercultural competencies and global skills, they’ll be able to use those competencies and skills in all areas of life in their futures,” she says.

Malerich speaks from personal experience. She has been in three study

abroad programs that have taken her to European countries, including Italy and Spain.

“Each one of those experiences was really different and changed me in different ways,” she says.

ASU is committed to decreasing both the academic and financial barriers that students might feel about studying abroad.

To do so, Malerich says the study abroad office is urging students to start thinking about studying abroad as early as orientation during their freshman year at ASU. “The earlier you start planning, the better that you are going to be able to fit that experience in with your academic experience and remain on track for graduation,” she says.

This tactic will allow students to effectively strategize how to have the best experience, choose the available classes overseas that will meet their ASU requirements, allow them to save money and set up a financial plan so their trip can be as lengthy as possible.

What you need to do ASU’s Study Abroad Office has numerous online resources for students to start planning their future trip.

To begin planning, you should attend a Study Abroad 101 seminar, which is led by a peer advisor and covers the fundamentals. Students will learn about the program types, housing options,

requirements and financial realities of studying in a foreign land. Held several days a week, the schedule is available on the Study Abroad Office’s website at studyabroad.asu.edu.

The next step is choosing the program that is right for you. While many students have the traditional options in mind (we’re talking Paris, London, Florence), Malerich says potential enrollees should consider other factors.

“I would encourage students to really think outside the box and look for locations that might not be immediately coming to mind,” she says. “Because they might find that those either match their academic program a little bit better or they’re going to get a different or more wide-reaching experience on those nontraditional locations.”

It’s always smart to make an appointment with an international coordinator at the Study Abroad Office.

Once you’ve singled out what programs you might be interested in, the coordinator will walk you through the steps for applying and successfully enrolling in a study abroad program.

They are also able to conduct meetings in person, on the phone or via Skype.

As mentioned, studying abroad takes planning and time. For the summer and fall terms, application deadlines are generally March 1, while the spring semester require your information in by September 25.

Although a passport isn’t required to apply, it is required to actually get into the country of your choosing and study there.

Obtaining a new passport generally takes a month, so plan ahead.

Consider financial aid options to fund your trip abroad. There are many scholarships and grants available through ASU’s Scholarships at a Glance Chart that may help make the financial burden easier. Taking a part time-job as you plan won’t hurt either.

And it always helps to be safe. Sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program through the State Department, which will assist you more effectively if there are either emergencies where you are traveling to or back home with your family.

Also, check out the laws of the country you will be visiting, as being American will not shield you from repercussions.

While it seems like a mound of work, studying abroad is well worth it.

“In terms of overall experience, everyone who’s come back from studying

“Where would you want to study abroad & why?”

Sean Fredrick “I would want to study abroad in Ireland because of the scenery and the weather.”

Keith Mulcahy “I would want to go to Europe to study because of the culture.”

Ryan Scott “I would study in Japan because of the very different culture and the video games.”

Alex Repman “I would love to study in Spain. It looks beautiful there!”

broad has said that studying abroad has changed their life,” says Malerich.

“That’s an overarching theme.”

Maricopa Community Colleges offer fast track to ASU with MAPP program Jorge Salazar • College Times There’s no one way to achieve success in higher education. Attending a university from the get go might be a reality for some students at Arizona State University, a growing number of aspiring graduates are taking to community colleges to begin their adventure in posthigh school education.

However, eventually transferring to a university can be a daunting process with nontransferable credits standing in the way.

The Maricopa to ASU Pathways Project (MAPP) ensures community college students in the Maricopa area no longer have to second guess it.

“The Maricopa to ASU Pathways Program is essentially designed to help a student who begins at a Maricopa community college but aspires to eventually transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree at ASU,” says Maria Hesse, vice provost for academic partnerships at ASU. Hesse says MAPP presents students with a very clear and direct pathway that shows them what courses they should be

taking at a community college that align with their desired major at ASU. ASU and Rio Salado Community College graduate Andrew Allred credits the MAPP program for his current scholastic successes.

A high school dropout, Allred says he originally had the mindset that education is unimportant. After years of working and volunteering, Allred says he realized the successful people he was meeting all had some level of higher education.

Allred says he knew he needed to earn his GED, start at a two year college and then transfer to a four-year university.

“It was kind of overwhelming at first because I didn’t get my GED until I was 22,” Allred says. “And then I started taking classes right away and I really didn’t understand or know exactly what I needed to do to finish community college and move on to a four-year university.”

Allred says a counselor at Mesa Community College directed him toward the MAPP program. He says the program was great because it mapped out every requirement he needed to seamlessly complete an ASU transfer and quickly complete his degree.

“New students who don’t have a strong counseling service from high school can get overwhelmed by the pure number of courses and the names at a community college or university,” Allred says. “The MAPP program really clarified things for them so there was no question of what I need to do. It just laid things out and really set me up for some great success.”

Today, Allred is studying at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, to earn his physician assistant’s masters.

While Arizona has employed a longstanding system called the course equivalency guide so that students can find what courses at a community college might transfer to a university, Hesse says the element missing from the equation was that students could not be sure what would actually apply to their eventual major.

“MAPP includes both the list of courses that the student should be taking, which also tells you the GPA you have achieve at your community college and if there’s other any special requirements,” Hesse says. “Our mantra is that there shouldn’t be any surprises for the students.”

Meet a cute guy or girl in your Spanish class and woo them.

Find an English professor that wants to cover onomatopoeia on the first day of class.

Put those leftover fireworks to good use.

Is dropping out a better option for you?

Christina Caldwell • College Times We know this probably isn’t what you want to hear as you start university, but... you might not belong in college. It’s an inflammatory statement, for sure, but the fact is that some people just don’t need to have a four-year degree.

That’s not to say you don’t belong in school. A post-secondary education is pretty much crucial in a competitive job market, but if you’re entering university aimlessly, knowing you should go to school for something instead of having a clear direction, you might want to drop out.

But dropping out needs to come with a plan. You can’t just leave school and spend the rest of your life playing video games in your parents’ garage.

Unfortunately you’re an adult, which means you need to pull your own weight. There are alternatives to a basic bachelor’s degree, and they might be better suited to your personality and expectations for the future.

Here’s how to decide whether or not pursuing something other than university is for you.

You’re in it for the paycheck If you’re just looking to make fat stacks and get paid, there are several other career options that won’t take as much time or money as a four-year degree. All jobs require some training, and in some cases even technical school, but blue collar jobs can offer higher salaries than jobs that require four-year degrees. And you can do it without the debt. According to Forbes, careers like aircraft mechanics, building inspectors, surveyors and more

make a mean salary of nearly $60,000 a year. Try not to rub it in your friends’ faces when they accumulate your salary’s worth of debt in school.

You’re a hands-on learner Life in university is exam after exam, lecture after lecture. True, if you’re a science major, you might learn in a lab, but for the rest of us, university education is more about theory than implementation. So your typical political science undergrad might be able to muse about how the two party system is destroying America, there’s little they can do with it until they get their law degree or masters to teach. If you’re a hands-on person and you work better when you can do it yourself, not just hear what you need to do, becoming an electrician, mechanic or operator of some sort might be for you. You can work directly under a professional learning skills as an apprentice and still make decent cash while you do it. Take that, student loans!

You don’t really know what you want to do Others might encourage you to attend a four-year university, even when you’re not sure what degree you want to pursue. If you attend more than a year of university while being an undeclared major, you’re going to get off track quickly and rack up some serious debt in the mean time. If you truly feel like you belong at university and are yet to decide what degree you want to pursue, stay. If you feel like your life skills would be better applied somewhere else, it’s time to start looking into alternative education that will better suit your needs and desires.

STUDENT LIFE

Look it up, newb!

Our freshman dictionary will keep you from asking the stupid questions Christina Caldwell and Maria Portillo • College Times Forget what your professors told you in your first week of classes—there is such a thing as a stupid question. “What does that mean?” is a good way to give away the fact that you’ve freshly arrived to campus and adulthood.

These are the basics, people. If you don’t learn them quickly as a freshman, there’s no way you’re going to escape the pitiful looks from seniors on campus when you inquire about what they mean. Consider this your first college assignment. Study up, freshy!

Keg – Noun It’s a big metal cask filled with beer— usual really cheap, bad beer. They were recently banned from tailgating in the ASU lots because a bunch of idiots decided to get way too drunk and cause a ruckus. They’ll continue to do that this year, except now there will be lots of cans in the garbage. You’ll still see kegs at parties, though.

Example: “We have to kill this keg tonight. Come thirsty.”

Keg Stand – Noun After you do one of these, you’ll be doing the opposite of standing. A keg stand is when your fellow partygoers hold you upside down and you drink directly from a keg’s tap for as long as you can handle.

It’s stupid, so of course it’s a college tradition.

Example: “I like alcohol, but I think I’ll like it even better if I drink it upside down and get it in my nose. One keg stand, please!”

Tailgate – Verb This is the pre-party before any sporting game—usually biggest during football season. Snuggle up to your fellow Sun Devils by hosting your own mini party out the back end of your car or truck. Expect music, food, cars and absolutely no kegs!

Or at least really well hidden ones...

Example: “The cask-shaped table we’re bringing to this tailgate totally isn’t a keg.”

Light Rail – Noun Believe it or not, this isn’t a creepy sex move. Oh, what fun times await you on this blessed train. It can get you between ASU’s Tempe and Downtown campuses, but the ambiance is so much better than simply reading about it. Go out and experience it yourself! Make friends with the greasy haired guy who’s been staring at your breasts for the past 20 minutes! Get yelled at by wayward transients! There is also a particular smell that will linger in your memory long after you graduate. Hint: it’s sweat with undertones of meth.

Example: “Excuse me? Can you tell me where the Light Rail station is? Oh, never mind. I see the trail of slime leading there. Thanks anyway!”

Jungle Juice – Noun A toxic substance that will likely be your ticket to the ER. This concoction consisting of mostly liquor, some juice and disgusting, booze-soaked fruit will turn you into an alcoholic the instant it hits your lips.

Example: Mom: “Doctor, what happened?” Doctor: “It was the jungle juice, ma’am. I’m afraid his liver is obliterated.”

RA – Noun Depending on what kind of student you are, the resident assistant (RA) in your dorm will either be your best bud or your friendly neighborhood nark. Either way, they can be pretty handy to have around when other people on your floor decide 3 a.m. is a good time to practice handstands in front of your door.

Example: “My RA is my best friend!”– Sad people Commencement – Noun It’s like graduation but way bigger!

Commencement is when a school performs a ceremony for all of the university’s graduates. In 2009, Barack Obama spoke at ASU commencement, making it the largest commencement ceremony on record. You know what they say—Black president, huuuuuuuuuuge commencement address. But usually they’re not that fun and the speakers are pretty boring. People usually skip this

and only go their school’s graduation ceremony.

Example: “I’m not going to commencement.”

of interview-like meetings and way too much smiling.

Example: “My dentist said my chronic dry gums are just a side effect of rush.”

Haboob – Noun Ha-yeah! If you’re new to the area, this is definitely a new one to you. Settle down, boys (aaaaaand girls.) It’s just a blowing dust storm, which is usually accompanied by thunder, lightening and rain. They’re actually pretty fun, but be careful when you’re driving. These storms can limit visibility and cause serious accidents.

Example: “Oh...that’s what a haboob is?”

MIP – Noun/Verb Minor in possession might be the most common charge issued by Tempe Police.

They will cost you your time, money and partying reputation, so if you’re going to drink underage, at least be smart about it.

Example: “MIP is only one letter award from MVP, so let’s go chug a handle of vodka in the IHOP parking lot.”

Sexile — Noun/Verb This refers to kicking you roommate out of your room so you can practice wrestling with your intramural volleyball teammate. Be sure to reciprocate for your roommate if need be. If you sexile your roommate he/she has the right to sexile you back.

Example: “I just started seeing this guy, so just assume you’re in sexile until further notice.”

Intramurals – Noun An organized sport between students on campus just for fun. It’s not exactly Sun Devil Athletics and you don’t get your own custom jersey, but sometimes they have pretty sweet T-shirts.

Example: “Here’s my sign up slip for intramural volleyball! As you can see, I’m compensating for the fact that I didn’t make the real team, so I’ll be over here drowning my sorrows by this keg-shaped table.”

ABC Party – Noun It’s an “anything but clothes” party.

Unfortunately you still have to cover your bits and pieces, so use paper plates, bags and caution tape—you name it, girls and guys will rock it. This type of party creates some seriously scandalous, sexy outfits.

Example: “Tiffany is really rocked those lizards at the ABC party.”

Rush — Noun/Verb The process fraternities and sororities go through to recruit new members, which includes an introduction night, a series

Blackboard – Noun Blackboard is the online interface your teachers will use to communicate, assign homework, generate class discussions and more. Known for being down 80 percent of the time, Blackboard will also make you miss any online quizzes and deadlines your professors throw your way.

Example: “Blame it on Blackboard.” – Suicide note of anonymous student.

Audit – Noun/Verb The bane of tax season for grown ups is actually not so bad when you’re in college. Sometimes you just want to learn without doing the assignments or worrying about a grade. Say you registered for a rather challenging class and you realized you’re doing poorly.

You don’t want it to affect your grade, so you can audit the class for the rest of the semester and not worry about the grade, especially if you took it as an elective. You can also just sit in on a class to...learn.

Example: “I’m here for my audit-tion!

Haha, just kidding. I’m failing this class.”

MU – Noun The MU, or the Memorial Union, the central point of ASU. This is where you can go eat, study, chill out and socialize with other students on the ASU campus.

If ASU were a human body, the MU would be the heart. So I guess that makes Manzanita the feet! Makes sense.

Example: “Meet me at the MU, because I literally do not know the name of another building on campus.” -Every freshman.

Sharp Devils: ASU Football preview

Fans can expect the smartest team yet, Graham says Mike Tulumello • College Times Arizona State’s offense might well put up 50 points per game this season.

The Sun Devils may need every one of those points, as they are replacing almost their entire defense.

The bottom line: This year’s team will be exciting, with crazy, high-scoring games likely to be the norm.

“This will be the best offensive football team that I’ve ever coached,” says coach Todd Graham, now entering his third season leading the Devils, speaking at Pac-12 media day.

Here are the reasons the offense should be among the most explosive in the nation:

What is your favorite tailgating tradition?

James D’Amato “The only tradition I have for tailgating is making sure good times are had with good people.”

AUGUST 14 - 27, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

• Taylor Kelly is, by some accounts, at least a fringe Heisman Trophy candidate as he enters his third and final season as the starting quarterback. Kelly put up some of the best numbers in Sun Devil history last year. The agile, dual-threat quarterback from Idaho threw for 3,635 yards and 28 touchdowns while running for 608 and nine scores. (Kelly, however, had to give up his off-field hobby, drag racing, after Graham saw a media report earlier this summer. “So I called him. He said, ‘Coach, I thought you were a fan of racing.’ I said, ‘Yeah, you can race if you want to. You’re just not going to be our starting quarterback.’”)

• D.J. Foster, the all-round threat from Saguaro High School, will be used more as a running back with the departure to the NFL of Marion Grice. Foster ran for 501 yards while catching 63 passes last season.

• Jaelen Strong returns as one of the most highly-regarded wide receivers in the nation. Last season, Strong caught 75 passes for 1,122 yards and seven touchdowns.

• Jamil Douglas will lead the offensive line. Douglas, the left tackle, will anchor a line that the Devils believe will allow them to run the ball whenever they please.

“Our offensive line is bigger. It’s more physical, it’s stronger,” Graham says. “I think we’re going to be a lot more explosive, being

able to move people and knock people off the football. When we can run…it makes this offense very difficult to stop.”

The offense may have as much brainpower as scoring punch. Kelly and Douglas are “A” students who already have their degrees.

“This is the smartest team I’ve had,” Graham says. “The team with the best character I’ve ever had, and I have a lot of confidence this will be the best football team we’ve put on the field at Arizona State.”

All the brave talk aside, will all of this add up to another championship season? (ASU won the Pac-12 South last year, their first undisputed title since the memorable Rose Bowl year of 1996.)

The Devils will have to shore up last season’s biggest weakness, special teams, which will be coordinated in part by Graham himself, while also replacing nine defensive starters.

The coverage teams will be “a lot deeper” and punter Matt Haack “has had an unbelievable off-season and is really punting the ball well,” Graham says.

That means Alex Garoutte can stick to kickoffs, where he has been effective, while place-kicker Zane Gonzalez is coming off an all-Pac-12 season.

“The area we’ll be most improved is special teams,” Graham says.

That still leaves the question of whether the Devils can stop anybody. Or at least slow anyone down.

Among the nine defensive starters who have moved on are NFL draft picks, Will Sutton, the two-time Pac-12 defensive player of the year, and Carl Bradford, who entered the draft after his junior season. They also lost linebacker Chris Young, who came on extremely strong late and helped save the Devils’ title-clinching win at UCLA. Key returnees are middle linebacker Salamo Fiso, safety Damarious Randall and defensive tackle Jaxon Hood, a Chandler Hamilton High School grad who has been a part-time starter.

They’ll need to get immediate help from safety Marcus Ball, a redshirt freshman who missed last season with an injury, and outside linebacker, D.J. Calhoun, a true freshman who is thought to be a big-time player.

The Devils were hurt by the loss of defensive lineman Dalvon Stuckey and linebacker Darius Caldwell. They were Graham’s top two junior college recruits on defense; they didn’t qualify academically.

Graham, noting these were his first two

Notre Dame Nov. 15 at Oregon State Nov. 22 v. Washington State Nov. 28 at Arizona Head coach: Todd Graham Last year’s record: 10-4 recruits at ASU to suffer this fate, says, “Obviously, we’d have loved to have a different outcome but we’re going to be fine.

“We’re excited about the guys we have and we’ll get it done with the guys we have.”

Graham, a defensive coach by background, seems to relish the idea of proving he can reload his defense instead of settling for a rebuilding season.

“Will we be as talented and experienced on defense? Well, no. But I do think we’ll surprise a lot of people. “We’re going to be young, but we’re very talented.”

Mercifully for ASU fans, Graham seems to have to deal less and less frequently with what had been a lingering distraction: the issue of whether his job-hopping ways have ended and that he’s committed to staying in Tempe.

“I think people know there are things that I’ve done, obviously. The success that we’ve had has helped a lot with that, but just being honest with people. When parents ask me in my office, ‘Coach, what are your plans and stuff?’ I’m extremely honest with them about that. And very open about being able to answer questions.”

Graham noted that he and his wife have purchased two homes in the Valley (one of them a Scottsdale home formerly owned by rock star Bret Michaels), and he’s made a significant donation to ASU’s capital campaign.

“We wouldn’t be doing that if we weren’t here for the long haul,” he says. “I think people can see we’re committed.”

Student Voices How I stopped caring about my own opinions Christina Caldwell • College Times I struggle with writing columns. I never used to.

Use whatever cliché about opinions you’d like, but the Christina Caldwell oversaturation of opinions in the standard press and on social media makes me feel like my own are invalid. I’m open to level-headed arguments, and I like to think I make a lot of them, too, but only to close friends and family. When it comes to expressing them publicly, I’ve pretty much closed off.

It never used to be that way. I was the opinions editor of my high school. In college, I wrote a column in ASU’s The State Press for nearly two years, covering my process of losing faith in faith, social issues, philosophical arguments and all of the things that college students really should reflect on at that time.

I’ve sorted all of those things out since.

I know who I am, what I believe and that I’ll continue to evolve upon learning new information about things I previously thought I cemented in my head. But I no

longer do it publicly. Why? Well, I don’t have the answer to that. That’s not really a hypothetical question, but I have some theories.

It might be ego. It might be that I feel like my voice is getting lost in the crowd. Now when I read someone else’s perspective that agrees with my own, I think “Yeah, you’re right. What makes your opinion special?”

When I read one that disagrees, I think “You’re a raving lunatic.”

I used to not mind be characterized as a raving lunatic. My opinions made me me, and I didn’t care who I pissed off in the process of expressing them. But then I realized my opinions aren’t just about me and how they make me feel—they make other people feel certain ways too. A friendly debate is great, but a fight where neither side will budge? It’s just not worth the fuss.

I know the world doesn’t polarize in those black and whites, but our culture perpetuates two-sided choices. Republican or democrat. Liberal or conservative.

Religious or atheist. With us or against us.

It’s that inability to see the world in varying shades of grey that leads to disaster.

Wars are fought over misunderstandings.

Twitter feuds are started by a momentary misspeak. Political pundits have contributed to our culture as seeing issues as all bad or all good and have pitted one half of the population against the other, as if a few

STREET TEAM SHOT

College Times would like to welcome back Lyle Maxson to this crazy office we call home! Lyle spent his summer in England and India (dang and double dang) and has the tan and aura to prove it. While we are no match for a killer vacation, we are stoked to have Lyle as our new Street Team manager.

Watch out for him and the rest of our CT crew on campus as we spread the love and free merch! ethical or political issues define who a person really is.

Hint: They don’t. I see this perspective seeping into my psyche and I don’t like it, so I disengaged from it.

It’s a new semester, and around this time every year I think back to freshman Christina. She has a lot to learn, and I

sort of envy her for that. I’d love to figure myself out all over again, and hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to do that in the future without placing myself into neatly labeled boxes.

I guess I have a lot to learn from past me. I’d suggest keeping your wide eyes open for as long as you can.

STOP LOOKING AND START LIVING

Today’s consumers are more environmentally conscious than ever before. They understand that making eco-friendly choices not only creates a positive impact on your surroundings, but it can also translate into actual savings on monthly energy bills.

If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and make your home part of the “green” initiative, Christine Ackerson, head of sustainability at LG Electronics USA, offers the following tips to help you protect both the environment and your bottom line.

• Get the most out of your refrigerator.

Most consumers focus on keeping the inside of their refrigerators clean, but keeping the outside clean is just as important. Dusty coils actually can impact the refrigerator’s overall efficiency, because when dirty, they trap heat and prevent the refrigerator from cooling efficiently. The grills and coils should be cleaned once or twice a year and more often if you have pets. Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents of your refrigerator. You can also use a soft bristled brush to access some of the hardto-reach areas.

Also, older refrigerator models can use a lot of energy. Consider upgrading to an Energy Star qualified refrigerator, which is 20 percent more energy efficient than the federal minimum energy standard.

You can also look for refrigerators with energy-saving technologies like a linear compressor. New refrigerator features like LG’s Door-in-Door can actually reduce cold air loss by up to 47 percent.

The convenient door-within-a-door compartment on the fridge door allows quick, easy access to commonly used snacks and beverages without requiring you to open the entire refrigerator door.

Housing

• Insulate your home. Heating and cooling your home is one of your biggest energy costs, and if your home isn’t properly insulated, you’re losing money.

Start by closing your windows and sealing any drafty areas you find. Hire a professional to insulate drafty areas of your home if you don’t feel you can handle them on your own.

• Turn it off. Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips. Turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use as equipment still uses several watts of power when they are in standby mode. And be sure to unplug your cell phone charger when your device is fully charged.

• Cold is the new hot. A quick tip when it comes to laundry is washing clothes with cold water whenever possible.

Look for washers equipped with “cold wash” technology, which achieves cold water savings with warm water washing performance. Another way to save water is to try to wash full loads, or if you must wash a partial load, reduce the level of water appropriately to avoid usage of extra water.

• Do your research. Finding home appliances and electronics that are energy efficient is not difficult. Look for the Energy Star “Most Efficient” designation when shopping for your next appliance, like LG’s mega-capacity washer that allows you to wash more clothes with fewer loads. This distinction recognizes the most energy efficient products among those that already are Energy Star qualified. Or look for an Energy Star refrigerator that’s earned the Green Good Housekeeping Seal, an emblem given by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute in recognition of brand’s demonstration of environmental responsibility.

Salutations and sayonara!

These businesses opened and closed while you were on summer vacay Ana Anguiano • College Times Another summer break has flown by far too quickly and school has creeped its way back into session. If you were one of the lucky few that got to leave Arizona for more temperate weather, you missed quite a lot while you were gone. For once thing, Tempe was under construction the entire time, so you will notice lots of road work and new buildings shooting into the sky. Lots of businesses have also changed, so take a look at what’s new, what has transitioned and what has closed down this fall.

Now open NYPD Pizza, Tempe NYPD Pizza is a local franchise with two restaurants inside Sky Harbor International Airport and 10 other locations all over the Valley. Tempe is the latest to hop on the pizza train with a new location on Mill Avenue, sandwiched between Loco Patron and Which Wich.

Their tasty treats are made in stone ovens with fresh dough and choice ingredients, and they have breakfast offerings as well. And if you don’t feel like making the trip, you can always order in. Their delivery zone is from Curry Road to Broadway Road and from Priest Drive to Price Road and the 101, so pretty much anywhere Tempe ASU students live.

222 S. Mill Avenue, Suite127, Tempe,

aznypdpizza.com, open Sunday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., breakfast Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

The Revival, Tempe Fans of the Mexican restaurant Mucho Gusto will be sad to know that it is no longer around, but in its place is The Revival. An accurate name for the menu and location, The Revival comes from the creative mind of award-winning Chef Kelly Fletcher. Fletcher left his longtime post at House of Tricks to join forces with Mucho Gusto owner, Chad Withycombe.

Focusing on lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, the menu now expands much further than simple Mexican fare.

Korean, French, Spanish and American influences are all over the menu, which is slightly higher in price point and a bit fancier. This place screams first date home run.

University Drive, Tempe, 480.921.0111, therevivalaz.com, open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight, Saturday, 5 p.m. to midnight, closed Sunday UNION Barrelhouse, Scottsdale There are never enough places to drink good beer, and UNION Barrelhouse understands our thirst. Located in the Old Town Scottsdale spot where Salty Senorita once stood, Barrelhouse takes

their drinking very seriously. Along with a hefty selection of whiskey and wine, the place is overflowing with beer and cocktails. A self-identified nano-brewery, they even have five of their own brews, which include the Barrelhouse Golden Ale, Barrelhouse IPA, Barrelhouse Imperial Porter, Barrelhouse Hefeweizen and Barrelhouse Wheat Bock. The menu pairs perfectly with heavy drinking, as they offer soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers that are all meant to soften the alcoholic blow. Barrelhouse is the kind of place where you feel like you should have a beard, not an ironic mustache. Check out their website for daily specials!

3636 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, 480.946.7258, unionbarrelhouse.com, open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 a.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Wasted Grain is taking off like a rocket with live music, a ridiculous amount of whiskey and over 19 beers on tap. They are also the official home of the Seattle Seahawks for all of those Super Bowl champion bandwagon fans. Their menu is a mixture of childhood delights for adults (think pigs in a blanket and bacon popcorn) and serious bar food (poutine is on the freaking menu). Taking the place of the now-defunct Martini Ranch,

Silent Flight/Mutual Goods, Tempe If you have ever craved cold brew on a hot summer morning but haven’t been able to peel yourself off the couch, there is hope for you yet. Silent Flight will deliver a 64 ounce growler of iced coffee straight to your door and you can get a $5 credit for exchanging the growler with your next purchase. Mutual Goods will deliver 18, 32 or 64 ounces of cold brew on their bike! www.silentflight.coffee, www. mutualgoods.com

The King The King in Scottsdale is taking the concept of fun and blowing it up with vintage arcade games, bingo drinking games, board games and traditional bar games.

Competitive drunks, you have met your new match. Taking the place of The Western, The King is perfect for group outings with pinball, Donkey Kong, Skee-Ball, Mortal Kombat and more. From the minds of Charlie Levy (Crescent Ballroom), Tucker Woodbury (The Vig, Crescent Ballroom) and Tyler Christensen (The Little Woody), we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Cyclelights!

Born from an ASU dorm room, CycleLights goes international Ana Anguiano • College Times In the battle between cars and cyclists, it is easy to see who wins every single time.

Bike safety has always been a priority in Tempe and the rest of the Valley, where cyclist fatalities are a common occurrence.

Two ASU alumni are doing their part to keep cyclists safe while still being stylish.

Charles John started CycleLights in his ASU dorm room, and with the help of his business partner, LaVell Dishmon, the two have been spreading their products across the globe.

“Once people see them, they fall in love with them,” Dishmon says.

CycleLights are colorful LED wheel lights that illuminate the road—and more importantly, the rider—making them much more visible to vehicles. The idea came to John, an avid cyclist, after not being satisfied with a screw-on LED valve cap being the only thing on the market to keep him safe. John would regularly ride between Tempe and Tucson, making a product like CycleLights a very real necessity.

Both Dishmon and John wanted to have their own business, and CycleLights was their passion. While they didn’t have any prior business experience, they both split the responsibilities. Dishmon refers to himself as a “full time tinkerer,” and with a background in mechanical engineering, he says they sometimes have to focus on finishing orders before playing with more designs.

CycleLights has only been growing in the past three years, and now John and Dishmon are focusing on branching out from online commerce to retail stores.

“We took a bike tour across the country

last summer and we visited 60 cities in 60 days. We rode around each town when we got there on our bikes and took pictures and went to see if we could get our lights in different shops all across the country,” Dishmon says.

The door-to-door tactic worked and CycleLights is now sold in about 60 shops across the country, including plenty right here in Arizona. Dishmon says they recently sent a large order to Lima, Peru, but that Italy, France and Germany are big buyers as well.

While students at ASU, Dishmon resided in the Polytechnic Campus while John was in Tempe, studying to get his degree in biomedical engineering. The two are now working from a distance again, as John has recently moved to California for a job in biomedical engineering.

And while they’ve come a long way from hand-drilling holes into bike rims, Dishmon and John are always researching and redesigning their products.

Beyond simply lighting up wheels, CycleLights also offers FreeStyle lights and basket lights in a variety of neon colors. And because cyclists can’t have all the fun, they have also expanded their products to light up skateboards. CycleLights is now offering small “penny” boards, regular skateboards and long boards with lights embedded into them.

Let’s be honest, nothing beats a home cooked meal. After a few days of fast food benders consisting of burger chains and tacos with suspect meat, the heart yearns for comfort food reminiscent of mom’s kitchen.

Tempe’s Biscuits Cafe gives students and other patrons just that. “[It] kind of keeps the kids feeling like they’re still at home,” says Ron Lassiter, general manager at Biscuits Cafe.

“Instead of being away from home, they have somewhere they can get good food instead of [going to] McDonalds all the time and getting fast food.”

The brainchild of Ed and Barbara Preston, who met while working at a restaurant in the late ‘60s, the original Biscuits Cafe opened in Oregon City in 1998 with the help of their son, Shannon, a graduate of the Western Culinary Arts School.

Since its inception, Biscuits Cafe has expanded to include numerous locations across Oregon, Washington, and now Arizona. The Grand Canyon state saw the opening of its first Biscuits Cafe in Chandler in 2012, with new locations in Glendale and Tempe opening shortly thereafter.

Lassiter says the Tempe location is a first for the company. Other Biscuits Cafe iterations feature a sit-down family dining style, like Chandler’s restaurant.

“This one is a concept where you get up and order and get your own drinks,” Lassiter says.

While the concept may seem similar to

that of a fast food joint, Lassiter says the difference lies with the customer service.

It’s close to the style of their other locations, with workers greeting and assisting in the clearing of tables.

The departure in concept does not apply to the food, which Lassiter says sets the chain apart from the competition.

“The difference between our food and one of the other [restaurants] is that a lot of it is from scratch and we still go by the recipes from Oregon,” he says.

While the competition may flash cook their offerings, Biscuits Cafe steers as far away as possible from serving warmed up frozen foods.

“Everything is homemade,” Lassiter says. “We make it from scratch.”

He says the ingredients are grade A quality.

“We do use the best quality. If we’re going to buy meat, they choose the meat that we’re going to buy,” Lassiter says of the owner’s involvement. “It’s usually the best. I’ve never seen them order anything that’s not very good.”

With the Tempe location opening nine months ago and the fall semester ready to begin, Lassiter says students and patrons can expect a celebration of the restaurant’s first year.

“We are going to kind of do an anniversary event,” he says.

Calendar >>> Dolph Ziggler.

For Dolph Ziggler, stand-up comedy is scarier than the WWE Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler is sitting by his Phoenix home’s pool on a rare day off, a place he only visits 90 days a year.

Born in Cleveland 34 years ago as Nicholas Nemeth, Ziggler debuted on “Monday Night Raw” in January 2006.

The following November he—as Nicky—and Kerwin White were crowned the World Tag Team Champion.

After moving between the wrestling development camps and the WWE, he returned to “Raw” as Dolph Ziggler in September 2008. He has worn the belt for titles like WWE Intercontinental Champion, World Heavyweight Champion and WWE United States Champion.

Ziggler—who appears at “Friday Night Smackdown” on Tuesday, August 19, for broadcast on Friday, August 22—spoke to College Times about his success with the organization, his stand-up comedy career and his acceptance into ASU’s law school.

College Times: I’ve read that you’re a longtime wrestling fan. Why do you think you were able to make it when there are so many others vying for the same goal?

Ziggler: Obviously there’s a lot of luck involved. A lot of people change decisions, like when they’re kids, “I want to be an astronaut.” I went to a WWE live event and I wanted to be a wrestler. I ended up wrestling through grade school, high school and college. I went to college just hoping to break some records and get my foot in the door. I left Kent State the all-time winningest wrestler and [that] gave me the chance to get my foot in the door for the WWE. I heard that you were accepted to ASU

law school.

The reason I’m in Phoenix is when I graduated from Kent State with a political science degree—that’s just to prepare you for law school—my original goal was to go to law school at ASU and find a wrestling school at night. But after I moved out here, I was lucky enough to get my tryout with WWE. Because that was my foremost goal, I went with that.

You’re getting a big push now. For example, you “stole” Layla and Summer Rae from Fandango.

How lucky for them, right? [Laughs] I’m always bouncing around near something important or trying to have the match of the night, or some kind of cool story, whether it’s the world title and stealing somebody’s girlfriends and walking out the door with them. I always find a way somehow to be a part of “Monday Night Raw,” “Main Event” on the WWE Network or “Friday Night Smackdown” on SyFy. You are a stand-up comedian and perform at Stand Up Live and Stand Up Scottsdale when you’re home. I can see where there would be a lot of similarities between the WWE and comedy.

It’s actually scary sometimes. I’ve been wrestling for a very long time, grabbing the mic in the ring. I feel very comfortable talking about that. It’s a little different in comedy club.

Teneia and The Maybees kick off new night of music at Tempe Center for the Arts Ana Anguiano • College Times

point on.

Tempe Center for the Arts has always brought live local music to the masses and now they have expanded their musical offerings with a new, all-age concert called Tempe Rocks. What will hopefully become a biannual event, Tempe Rocks brings the Valley’s best talent and gives it a nice view.

We chatted with the lovely Teneia Sanders of Teneia and The Maybees, a powerful and soulful pop singer who will be performing at Tempe Rocks. Sanders released her album, Radioactive Lover, last year but now she is changing the way she shares her music with the world. With tunes that make us want to get up and dance, Sanders’ talents go way back to when she nurtured them as a child.

How did you end up in Phoenix?

I was living in Louisville, Kentucky and I came here to visit for two months because I was looking for a new scene and I fell in love. A few months later I packed up my little car and I moved here.

College Times: How did you get your start singing and how did you cultivate your sound?

Sanders: I started singing in the church.

I grew up in Mississippi and my dad is a minster so my whole family went to church and we all sang whether we could sing or not. I started singing gospel but I started writing songs probably when I was around 8 or 10. It’s just what I did for fun and what I was really passionate about even as a kid.

I kind of formed an R&B group when I was high school and we did a lot of stuff and worked really hard in Atlanta. We broke up and at 18 I picked up the guitar because I was tired of waiting on other people. I taught myself how to play it and started making records and releases from that

What is in the works for you?

I’m working on a new single and video.

What I’m doing now instead of full records is with every single that I release, I do it with a video. About every two months I release a new single and a video and we do a big release and get people involved, which has been really fun. The new single, (“Don’t Rain On My Parade,”) should be done by September.

I noticed your music is really positive.

I use to write stuff that was kind of melancholy but I’m in a really good space in my life right now so for the last few years most of my stuff has been pretty upbeat, even if the message is a little bit different, it’s still fun. “Coldhearted” is actually a really funny, quirky song lyrically. It’s not an angry song. It’s like, “I’m a girl and I think you suck.”

Nightlife >>> Drink of the Week

Anthony Terbush

In the Clubs Alex Metric @ Monarch Theatre Alex Metric might be known for transforming indie hits like Phoenix’s “Listomania” into full-blown club jams, but this Londoner is hardly a one trick pony. He does original tracks, too, but that doesn’t stop everyone in the industry from beating down his door requesting their very own hitmaking remix. Hear him live and in person this week at Monarch.

Monarch Theatre, 122 E. Washington Street, Phoenix, relentlessbeats.com, Saturday, August 16, 9 p.m., $12-$35 Laidback Luke @ Maya Day + Nightclub It’s Sunday funday, and what better DJ to mellow your afternoon than Laidback Luke?

LL has been in the game for ages, and his discography proves it. He released his debut album, Psyched Up, in 1998, and has been taking on the scene every since, slowly moving up DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list. This Dutch dude shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. He’s one to watch out for.

In the Land of Oz, they had their very own reality show, aptly named “The Stafford Brothers.” Now you can see the guys, named the number one DJs in Australia three years in a row by the Mix Awards, in actual reality at Maya Day + Nightclub. Get your swimmies on because they’re going to be steaming things up by the pool at night.

Maya Day + Nightclub, 7333 E. Indian Plaza, Scottsdale, 602.810.0736, mayaclubaz.com, Monday, August 18, 9 p.m., $10 Headhunterz @ Monarch Theatre You’re going to need a Red Bull or two before you head out to see Headhunterz.

You know he will. The Dutch DJ is known for his energy and of course, his good looks.

He’s not just a pretty face, either. He’s landed at number 11 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list. Things are only looking up, up, up for the house god.

Leopold and His Fiction come to life Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Hailing from the Motor City, Daniel James of Leopold and His Fiction knows a thing or two about music.

Whether it’s the swagger of the MC5 or the work ethic of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, James understands the impact that his home state has had on the music industry.

For Leopold and His Fiction’s as-of-yet untitled forthcoming album, the musician, who now lives in Austin, Texas, tapped into the Detroit/Ann Arbor rock scene after not giving it a second glance for years.

James spoke with College Times about the forthcoming record, growing up in Detroit proper, and how the birth of his daughter rocked his world.

College Times: I just read you are from Detroit, as am I. James: No way. Where are you from?

Twelve Mile and Woodward in Berkley.

Wow. I was born in Detroit, moved out from Detroit proper when I was 8 and we moved out to Southfield, Royal Oak, Ferndale-ish.

We stayed there off and on before I left. I lived at 13 Mile and Woodward.

Where do you live now?

Austin. My daughter, who’s 3, lives in Austin. That’s where I go when I’m not on the road. We play 280 to 300 shows a year.

But having her, I didn’t realized it would be as amazing as it is.

How did having a baby influence your songwriting process?

For the better. It really lit a fire where the fire needed to be lit.

AUGUST 14 - 27, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

How have your shows been in Phoenix in the past?

This band is about 9 years old. For years, we’d stop in Phoenix and Tempe and Mesa and nothing was happening for us. All of a sudden, a couple years ago, we tried it again and it really started making sense.

We’re definitely excited to have it in our routing for sure.

Why do you think you were able to gain traction in Phoenix?

I think it was more on our side than it was the city itself. Sometimes it’s both.

Sometimes it’s what the band is doing, what the city has to offer. Some cities will have 400 people for two years and then it tapers down to 100. But we’re doing bigger things and we have more momentum.

How would you say that growing up in Detroit influenced your music?

I didn’t make any records for this band in Detroit. I was doing everything against Detroit. I moved to San Francisco and didn’t have any friends. I went into a psychedelic folk realm with this band. It took me moving to Austin, having a daughter, getting my life refocused to really bring out the best songs in me. I [channeled] everything I listened to in Detroit—Motown, eventually the Stooges, MC5. All the Detroit guys. Bob Seger, not that he’s had a huge influence on me, but he was definitely present.

Reality Check: Your college experience won’t be like the movies Jorge Salazar • College Times For many incoming freshmen, the expectations of college life have been directly influenced by television shows and movies. I still remember my first week at ASU, expecting the first party I attended to resemble a music video. It did not.

By now, most of us realized television and movies paint very unrealistic portraits of life experiences. You can’t chase a girl through an airport, as that would result in the TSA ending you, the ugly duckling rarely becomes popular by the time prom swings around, and the likelihood of the nerd scoring a date with the sexy coed is slim to none. (Sorry, not sorry.)

We want to make sure you’ve been able to distinguish fact from fiction at the beginning of your college career. With the semester only a week away, we’ve compiled the realities of some of the most widely-spread false expectations so you’re not slapped in the face with a reality check the first week.

The Parties

The Dorms Expectations: College movies have the tendency to make college dorms seem like a living and breathing IKEA catalogue.

Furniture and decorations are tailor-made to fit the characters’ personalities and there’s seemingly enough space for large gatherings, like parties and sleepovers.

Reality: Think Harry Potter’s staircase cupboard. The last thing an ASU student will describe their dorm room as is spacious. You can generally fit one guest in, plus your roommate if you’re lucky, before you start to feel claustrophobic.

The Conversations Expectations: If you take college-themed movies seriously, you’d expect most the majority of attendees read Nietzsche, quote Socrates and enjoy long existential talks about the meaning of life. There’s usually a character in these movies that’s involved in some sort of environmental and social cause, which the rest of the characters get roped into and passionate about as well.

Expectations: The first thing high school grads think about when undergrad parties come to mind are the “Spring Breakers”-like music video scenarios plaguing many a college-themed film. If movies like this summer’s “Neighbors” are any indication, college parties come replete with professional DJs, light shows and wet T-shirt contests. Also, everyone has the alcohol tolerance level of an alcoholic.

Reality: Your conversations revolve around funny YouTube videos and exaggerations about the rager you attended the weekend before. You’ll also find yourself overhearing talks full of Urban Dictionaryinspired vocabulary (ratchet and YOLO dominated the last year). People quoting Nietzsche are met with unimpressed stares.

Reality: While you certainly might imbibe enough alcohol that your perception of the night will totally result in some shaky-cam realness, most of your college party nights will result in hanging out in a less than well-ventilated room drinking room-temperature Natty Light. Most college parties do not expect attendance numbers in the hundreds. And passing out halfway through the night in a puddle of vomit is a harsh reality for newbs, so drink responsibly.

Expectations: In movieland, roommates can be either one of two things: your new best friend or your worst enemy.

The stereotypic college movie or TV show hosts scenarios where college roommates find their platonic soul mate through the school’s random sorting system. Some movies go the opposite route, like 2011’s aptly-titled “The Roommate,” and show audiences that you’ll sometimes get a roommate from hell that’s trying to ruin your life. (Or like, kill it.)

38

August 14 - 27, 2014 • ecollegetimes.com

The Roommate

In general, college students don’t look or drink like John Belushi.

Reality: The reality is that roommate situations are not that dramatic. Sure, you might think your roommate is pleasant and enjoy vegging out together once in a while. And yes, there will be some roommates you cannot stand, but that will mostly be because of their cleaning/living habits and not because they’re trying to murder you. Roommates are like coworkers—they come and go.

And you’ll keep in touch with some of them.

The Classes Expectations: Somehow, college students on-screen are able to advance through

their education without actually attending classes or doing any of their work.

College-themed movies focus on the “life events” that happen throughout undergrad studies, like the parties, the hook ups and the adventures. College is generally a stress-free experience.

Reality: We’ll be real—you’ll be able to fit in those “life events.” Although the truth is that you will be doing so amidst all-nighters at Hayden Library, panic attacks in your dorm room as you pore over pages of notes and classes that require two weekly lectures, a lab and a recitation.

POP CULTURE >>> Twentieth Century Fox

A glimpse into the weird, beautiful bubble of Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson

College Times: What made you want to get involved with this movie?

Wayans: I read the script and thought it was really fresh. Everyone has seen these buddy cop movies where one guy is the tough cop and one guy is the comedy relief. This one is different in that these two characters aren’t cops. I thought that was really interesting. Everything they do is sort of illegal, so once I found out he (Johnson) was doing it, I called him up and said, “I’ll do it if you do it.” That’s how we got it done.

Starring Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr., Rob Riggle Directed by Luke Greenfield Opened August 13

A-

Phony cops Ryan (Jake Johnson, left) and Justin (Damon Wayans, Jr.) are living the dream.

Ana Anguiano • College Times Interviews are pretty much glorified small talk with lots of small factors that determine whether or not it will be worthwhile in print. Talking to people is pretty easy, but when Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. came into town to promote their new movie, “Let’s Be Cops,” the odds were not stacked in my favor.

Johnson and Wayans work together on the Fox show, “New Girl,” and it is clear to everyone that the connection they have goes beyond coworkers and friends. They never miss a beat and actively try to make each other laugh.

It’s great to see a glimpse of that, even when they are eating way too much food at Devil’s Advocate in the middle of the day in the miserable Arizona summer.

The two actors were in town to do press and attend a Q&A after a student screening of the film. In front of a large theater audience, they cracked everyone up and won the entire place over.

In the middle of their lunch with wing sauce in their face, our interview was a little scrambled. Johnson revealed his love for “Law & Order: SVU” while Wayans revealed his love for Johnson. Here are some of the highlights to get an idea of what it’s like when these two dudes hang out.

Let’s Be Cops

like ’88.

Do you make other decisions the same way?

Johnson: Yes. Every decision. We check on each other quite a bit.

Wayans: We work with each other all the time. I literally see him almost every day of my life. It’s kind of obnoxious.

What was it like putting on the uniforms for the first time?

Wayans: It was very heavy.

Johnson: We had the official uniforms, so we had the bullet proof vest—all of it.

Wayans: The belt with all the gadgets on it.

Johnson: I have a lot of respect for police officers. It was really cool to wear the costume and drive the cop car.

If you were to be arrested for anything, what would it be?

Wayans: Expired tags. That’s why I’ve gotten arrested before. At the airport I got arrested.

Johnson: Showing my hog to a boys’ choir.

If I were to be arrested, it would be a boys’ choir singing hip-hop songs but in that way that they do it on “Glee.”

Wayans: It’s like “Pitch Perfect” with hogs.

Johnson: I just whip my hog out ‘til the cops come.

If you could have anyone for a cop partner, who would you choose?

Johnson: I would do the late, great Dennis Farina. He was a real cop and a real tough dude. He was a real kind of “had your back” guy.

Wayans: I would probably pick Albert Einstein, because he had really good strategy and if he pissed me off I could be like, “SHUT UP, NERD!” Johnson: Or Chuck Norris.

Wayans: Chuck Norris now? Or...

Johnson: No, “Delta Force” Chuck Norris,

Let’s play marry/bang/kill with buddy cop movies. “Lethal Weapon,” “Point Break,” and “Ride Along.”

Johnson: Marry “Lethal Weapon...”

(An entire glass of ice water is spilled everywhere and more food has arrived.)

Wayans: You are a child. It’s called gravity, son. I’m not helping at all. “Lethal Weapon,” marry, “Point Break,” f*ck, kill “Ride Along.” Marry, f*ck or kill, Jake Johnson? Marry Jake Johnson, f*ck Jake Johnson, kill him if he ever cheats on me.

How about “The Heat,” “21 Jump Street,” and “Rush Hour?”

Wayans: Marry “Rush Hour,” f*ck “22 Jump Street,” kill “The Heat.”

Ok, now “Law & Order: SVU,” Mariska Hargitay...

Johnson: She’s great.

Christopher Meloni...

Johnson: Stabler’s great. and Ice-T...

Johnson: I’m gonna kill Ice-T, marry Olivia Benson and let Stabler f*ck me? No, wait, I mean, what?

Wayans: I’m for sure f*cking Ice-T. I love that show.

What were some of the highlights of shooting this movie?

Johnson: We had a lot of fun improvising and clowning around. Really, the cast was so fun. We had a really good crew. One of our camera operators, Harry, has done “New Girl” with us, so we all knew each other. Our ACs had done it so there were a lot of familiar faces. But it was a really fun set.

Wayans: The more fun you have, the better.

There is no shortage of buddy cop TV shows or movies, but the beauty of “Let’s Be Cops” is that neither of the main characters are actually cops—just buffoons in uniform.

Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. play two best friends named Ryan and Justin. Two dudes in their early 30s without much going on, they shuffle around through life with pitiful jobs and sad love lives.

In an attempt to get out of the house and be social, they arrive at a masquerade party dressed as cops after Ryan mistakes it for a costume party. Humiliated even further in front of friends, the two leave and start roaming the streets in full costume.

Drunk on the power the outfits give them in public, the duo find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations as they test the limits of their authority. Ryan is the full-blown instigator that thrives on the respect and admiration the uniform gives him, while Justin is worried about being thrown in jail.

Pretty much everything they do in this movie is highly illegal and incredibly funny.

Both Johnson and Wayans Jr. have a strong background in improv, making the dialogue in the movie not only fluid but clever and quick.

It also has a good amount of action for a comedy, and once they get their hands on a fake cop car, the movie really kicks into high gear as the two start taking calls they hear on a police scanner.

A solid act on their own with plenty of conflict, seeing Ryan and Justin interact with the world around them is the funniest part of their ridiculous adventure. Along the way, the fake cops run into actual cop Segars (Rob Riggle), drug pusher Pupa (Keegan-Michael Key) and a charmingly skanky woman named Annie (Natasha Leggero).

Director Luke Greenfield is probably best known for the sexually-charged comedy “The Girl Next Door” in 2004, but as a co-writer of the script, it is hard to believe he had anyone in mind for the role other than Johnson and Wayans.

(Left to right) Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan in ‘What If.’

Review: What If Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan Directed by Michael Dowse Now open “What If” is the perfect millennial movie. It’s kind of a romantic comedy, but it’s not. It takes on the friend zone in a very honest and real way, which is refreshing but heart-wrenching and frustrating. For anyone who has been in the so-called friend zone, this movie is a great conversation starter.

Daniel Radcliffe plays Wallace, a guy without much to show for himself. He’s in his mid-20’s, presumably, and is living in his sister’s attic while pining for his ex-girlfriend, who cheated on him a year ago. And did we mention he dropped out of med school?

Enter Chantry, an awkward lady with an adorable wardrobe. Chantry is played by Zoe Kazan, a “less annoying Zooey Deschanel,” according to the guy sitting next to me. He’s not wrong, either.

Chantry is quirky in every sense of the word.

She is a graphic designer that loves a good poop joke and doesn’t mind flirting the night away with Wallace when they meet at a party. At the end of the night she reveals she has a live-in boyfriend, but gives Wallace her number anyway.

The pair become close friends but struggle with the awkwardness of being two young, attractive adults that don’t

know where the boundaries of friendship lie. This is where anyone and everyone watching the film can inject their own personal anecdotes about dating and how things have either gone right or wrong for them.

Wallace and Chantry’s story is all too familiar in the very grey world we live in, where no one is married and children are not yet involved. You get a good idea of who Wallace and Chantry are, so it is interesting to see them go about their odd relationship together.

Chantry’s boyfriend, Ben, is always a looming figure in their friendship and the film makes it very awkward for everyone involved, including the audience.

The lone voice of reason in the film is Wallace’s roommate, Allan, played by “Girls’” Adam Driver. Allan has never had a problem picking up women and advises Wallace along his path of known destruction, even when his solid advice goes in one ear and out the other.

The film is set in Toronto, which is one of the best parts of the film. Wallace and Chantry gallivant throughout the city and go on plenty of wonderful outings and share really beautiful moments together in their little bubble where nothing else seems to matter.

However, the outside world demands to be dealt with and the two have to face the facts about themselves and what they mean to each other. In the real world, this is when things get real and people get hurt. In fiction, this is where Radcliff solidifies the fandom of every “Harry Potter” fan in their 20’s.

—Ana Anguiano, College Times

Review: The Hundred-Foot Journey Starring Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal Directed by Lasse Hallström Now open Let’s just start off by saying that your mother/ grandmother/aunt/ older neighbor lady will love this movie.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” is sprinkled with all of Steven Spielberg’s prestige, all of Oprah Winfrey’s influence, and it is still lacking in story, character development and conflict.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” is all about Hassan (played by Manish Dayal) and his family moving to London to open a new Indian restaurant across the street from an established and fancy French restaurant, which is run by an iron woman named Madame Mallory (played by Helen Mirren).

There is plenty of racial tension and awkward flirtation, but the film holds back pretty much any time something interesting starts happening. If we are doing food analogies, this movie is totally underseasoned and bland.

If you watch enough Food Network, this movie has probably been marketed to you as a foodie movie with lots of delicious food porn and eye candy. Besides some sauce being spooned onto a plate, anyone that wants real food action would be better off staring at the assembly line at Chipotle.

Food should have been front and center in this movie. Instead, they could have just as easily been two competing karaoke bars.

D

The French dishes seemed boring and lifeless while the Indian dishes seemed lackluster, which is disrespectful to both cultures. If this were a cooking show, their presentation would have put them over the edge of elimination.

At one point there is a beautiful girl spooning Hollandaise sauce into her mouth as if it’s the best freshly-churned ice cream she’s ever had. They also go to a fancy gastronomy restaurant that looks more like a cheesy soap opera set than an actual eatery, where food turns into creepy science projects and the chefs drink heavily on the job.

Beyond the terrible food, there are two competing love stories between Hassan and a French chef, and Madame Mallory and Papa, Hassan’s father. There are plenty of heated conversations and stolen glances, but absolutely zero sexual tension or even a little bit of chemistry.

Food is supposed to be sexy. The cast of this movie is crazy sexy. (Have you seen Mirren in a bikini!?) Yet there is nothing sexy about this movie. There is a lot of talk about passion and drive when it comes to being a successful chef, but none of it feels real.

Michelin stars also get thrown around like Mardi Gras beads and it makes no sense at all.

The film gets a PG rating, and it is every bit as childish as its rating. I’m not sure who exactly they were marketing this movie to, but if it was adults, they failed. I lost count of the number of times this movie felt patronizing. Even before the movie starts, Spielberg and Winfrey have a little moment where they talk about how this movie just had to be made.

Did it, though? I would have to disagree.

4 apps that will actually help, not hinder, your college experience Christina Caldwell • College Times As tempting as it is to play another game of Kim Kardashian’s Hollywood, you’re not getting much out of it aside from learning how to become a superficial star...humper. Set aside the $25 you would spend on a new bob haircut and shoes in her game and focus on your studies. Believe it or not, your smartphone can be more than a tiny Facebook machine, so here are a few apps that will actually help you out when you’re trying to buckle down and be studious.

EasyBib Bibliographies are the bane of every college student’s existence. Did you miss a comma? You automatically miss a full letter grade on your paper. Screw that!

Let a computer handle it instead. EasyBib automatically generates MLA, APA and Chicago Style citations in a snap by scanning the book’s barcode or entering the title. Now you can focus on what actually matters—the content of your paper—without having a full-blown panic attack.

DuoLingo You’ll hear it time and time again in the professional world. “I took four years of Spanish in college and all I know is ‘Hola.’” DuoLingo can reinforce the basics, or just help you learn the language altogether. Learn Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, or even English for international students.

Even if your major doesn’t have a foreign language requirement, learning Spanish in the Southwest will open doors you didn’t think possible in the career world.

You can sign in on your laptop or take it on the go with your iPhone or Android.

Best of all, the app is completely and totally free.

Sleep if You Can Alarm So you procrastinated signing up for that Psych 101 class and the only class that was available was at 7:40 a.m. No matter how hard your partied the night before, you’re going to have to get up in the morning. If you’re a heavy sleeper known to tap the snooze button, Sleep if You Can will be your best friend and worst enemy.

You have two options to shut the alarm off. You can either shake your phone, forcing you to wake and expend energy, or it can force you to travel to a place in your house that’s shown on the screen, be it the bathroom sink or shower. It’s the most precious friend you’ll grow to hate.

StudyBlue Flashcards Whether you’re studying for a quiz or the GRE, StudyBlue Flashcards are like the stack of flashcards on your desk— only mobile and way tidier. StudyBlue uses pictures, text and audio to help you memorize the right information.

Plus you can search their database to use someone else’s flashcards. The only downside is that hand-writing flashcards help your brain retain the information, so you’ll want to study doubly hard.

Go FIGURE

By Linda Thistle

By Linda Thistle

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small nine-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only one.

Salome’s STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Despite your Aries penchant for wanting to tackle a problem head-on, you might want to take a little more time to see how a current situation develops.

It could surprise you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) With responsibilities surging both in the workplace and in the home, it’s important to prioritize how you deal with them. Be patient. Pressures will begin to ease starting early next week.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Taking on the role of peacemaker in a disruptive environment is a challenge. But you can do it. Just continue to have the same faith in yourself that so many others have in you.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A positive reaction to a suggestion could indicate that you’re on track for getting your message to the right people. Devote the weekend to catching up with the special people in your life.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although your work schedule keeps you busy, you should make time to start preparing for that important upcoming family event you’ll want to celebrate in a special way.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new attitude from those in charge could make things difficult for you unless you can accept the changes without feeling as if you’re being pressured into doing so.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Home is where the Moon Child wants to be early in the week. But by week’s end, a chance to travel raises her or his excitement level, and that of the lucky person who gets to go along.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters once again dominate much of the week. But don’t neglect your workplace duties while you deal with them. An offer to help could come from a surprising source.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Be careful not to be a copycat when dealing with someone who uses unfair or even unkind methods to reach a goal. As always, do the right thing the right way, and you’ll win in the end.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A difficult workplace situation begins to ease, but there still are matters that need to be dealt with before it’s fully resolved. There’s also a more positive turn in domestic relationships.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An offer could have many good things attached to it that are not apparent at first glance, including a chance to move into another career area. You might want to check out its possibilities.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Don’t let yourself be rushed into making a decision about an intriguing financial arrangement. Asking questions and checking it out now could pay off in a ©2013 King Features Synd., Inc. big way later on.
