If you don’t change your ID after 21, don’t expect to drink, law says Jasmine Kemper • College Times

I

f you are planning to celebrate the big 2-1 with any kind of alcohol, you’ll want to know about the Arizona law that would prohibit you from doing so unless you have a horizontal license.

Current Arizona IDs are vertical if the owner is under 21. After they turn 21, citizens can apply for a horizontal license, which quickly indicates their ability to buy alcohol.

Even though SB 1397 went into effect about a year ago, young people are still having a hard time assimilating to the new regulation, especially people from out of state who are unaware of the changes.

The bill states, “A driver license issued to a person who is under 21 years of age is no longer an acceptable type of identification under this paragraph 30 days after the person turns 21 years of age.”

This means in order to get into bars or purchase alcohol from stores, you are required to have a horizontal license or another form of identification like a passport before the 30-day mark, according to the bill.

This has been an obstacle for newly-turned 21-year-olds, especially those who visit from out of state whose licenses are accepted where they live.

Andrea Haywood, 23, now lives in California. When she came to visit family in Arizona, she was completely unaware of the change until a restaurant informed her and her fiancé that they could not sample alcoholic beverages because of the law.

“I went to Olive Garden with my in-laws and for fun we were tasting wine.

6

April 23 - May 6, 2015 • ecollegetimes.com

They wouldn’t let any of us because our IDs were not flipped … I am almost 24,” Haywood says.

Haywood is also having her wedding in Arizona, and since she doesn’t live here, will not be able to purchase any alcohol for her wedding during her stay without a different form of identification.

“I’m getting married in Arizona and don’t see any point in changing my license before I have to change it again because I am changing my name,” Haywood says. “Because of the law, I won’t even be able to buy champagne for (my fiancé) and myself for my wedding night because of my ID.” The law came as quite a surprise for many—even those who don’t drink alcohol have had some problems getting into establishments.

Max Kurtz, 24, says he doesn’t drink, but the law affected him. He went to a 21-and-older comedy club with tickets he had already pre-purchased.

“I almost wasn’t allowed into a comedy club. I was 22 at the time, so it didn’t really matter, or so I thought. The guy checked my ID and said I needed to get it turned or he wouldn’t let me in the next time,” Kurtz says.

While the law intends to deter those over 21 from giving their old IDs to younger siblings or friends to use, it has just become a hassle, Kurtz says.

“I’m not sure about it stopping people from using fakes. If someone is going to do that, they’re going to do it,” Kurtz says. “They’re already breaking a law to do it, so putting another law in their way for them to break doesn’t seem like it would hinder them much.”

ASU’s journalism and engineering schools partner to form dual degree path Jasmine Kemper • College Times

T

he Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering are coming together to make getting your degree faster and easier. They have announced that in fall 2015, they will be offering dual degrees in journalism and graphic information technology.

This is the first dual degree between the two schools, and there is hope for more in the future. With the partnership, students interested in these fields will be able to avoid taking the extra classes caused by the overlap that usually happens when pursuing more than one major.

From a journalist perspective, Christopher Callahan, dean and university vice provost at the Cronkite School, says the combination of the two degrees just makes sense.

“These worlds of journalism and technology are coming together more and more,” Callahan says. “Technological aspects of the news media are becoming such an important part of journalist’s everyday life that we think combining these two very different but very powerful degrees will make students who go through the dual degree program extraordinarily marketable.”

Students always had the opportunity to study both degrees together, which totaled at more than 170 credit hours.

Now, students can simultaneously earn two degrees with a 120 credit hour degree program within the normal time span.

Combining the two makes it much more “streamlined” for those who want to get ahead, Callahan says.

“So most of our students who are interested in this can come in here, get the two degrees and still complete that within four years. So that’s really the difference. It’s the packaging of the two degrees,” Callahan says.

As to how combining these degrees can be beneficial for Cronkite students, Callahan says having the extra skills can help journalists in the competitive job industry.

“I think it’s still very much about journalists, but journalists who then are equipped with these fantastic technological tools in terms of web development,” Callahan says.

As the industry evolves, journalists are expected to evolve along with it. By adding on the graphic information technology portion, students can integrate the skills learned like digital reporting, news games, web design and development, according to the Cronkite School.

“If you’re a journalist who is a terrific story teller on multiple platforms and is combining that with some real knowledge of how to design and develop digital content, it’s a very powerful combination,” Callahan says.

Seeing how convenient this partnership can be for the students has prompted Callahan and dean Paul Johnson of Fulton to start development on even more of these dual degrees. The next one in the works focuses on the combination of journalism and transborder studies, Callahan says.

“We’re so lucky to have an engineering school with the stature of the Fulton School of Engineering. We’re going to be doing more of these types of dual degrees. We started off with this one because we thought it was just a natural combination,” Callahan says.

The Graduation Everything you need to do before you say goodbye to college forever Jasmine Kemper • College Times

T

ime to get sentimental. For those of you who are graduating in just a couple weeks, everything you do from this point on will be your “last” on campus. It’s time to cherish every moment while “Friends Forever” ironically plays in the background. That means going to your favorite places on campus one more time, or talking to that cute girl who you’ve been crushing on since freshmen year.

This is the last time you can be reckless without consequences before heading out into the big, bad world. You’ve spent at least four years procrastinating assignments, stressing over essays and compromising sleep for a passing grade.

So grab your friends, have a night to remember (or not remember) and go out with a bang. You’ve earned that damn diploma.

With that in mind, here is a graduation bucket list of things you should do before you leave campus.

Crawl down Mill If you’re an ASU student, then you know why this one is first on the list. Especially for those who live in Tempe, you’ve spent most of your college life watching everyone else have a drunkenly good time on Mill as underage you walked down the street in jealousy. By now you are of age, just in time for graduation. Find a themed bar crawl or just walk in the bars of your

choice. The important thing is to have fun, relax and make memories (and drink responsibly, of course).

Get a tattoo Remember when we said this is your last chance to be reckless? How about taking that to the next level? Now, we’re not saying to permanently wear Sparky across your face, but getting a tattoo to symbolize and commemorate big moments in your life can make them that much more special. If tattoos aren’t well-received in your career field, get something small and discreet (although they are becoming more acceptable). If you can survive four years of college, the prick of a tattoo needle is nothing!

Say thank you It’s time to thank those who encouraged you to pursue your dreams like your parents, family members, friends or professors. Even though you’re the one graduating, it’s always nice to let the people in your life know you appreciate them for being there for you. Send them a personal letter or gift, take them out to lunch or even give them a call (not a text). With your professors especially, it could be beneficial to get some post-graduation advice, and maybe even a recommendation letter or two.

Take advantage of student discounts (while you still can) While some places will continue to accept

your student ID after graduation, why not take advantage of all the local discounts you can get while you still live here?

Make a day out of grabbing all the deals like cheap movie tickets, discounted (or free) food or new clothes. Dive into your artsy side with student-priced tickets at The Gammage, museums around town or shows. The possibilities are endless, but your money is not. Sometimes it actually pays to be a college student.

Be spontaneous Get all of your friends together and take a weekend trip to somewhere relaxing.

You can stay in state and head up north for some cooler weather, or spontaneously drive to the beach while gas is still cheap! Wherever you choose, forget about what you have due next week and just relax for a couple days. If you plan to accept a job right out of college, who knows when your next chance will be to randomly decide to take a mini-vacation without asking for time off.

Eat up!

A lot of you are moving back to your home state or relocating to your new job once school is out. This means many of your favorite guilty pleasure restaurants won’t be there to comfort you. Take time out of your day to grab some of your favorite local eats around campus before it’s too late. Maybe even share some of these places with your out-of-town visitors to show them what you’ve been eating all

these years. They will either be amazed or disgusted.

Throw a party This may be your last chance to hang out with your college buddies, so why not get together for one last good ol’ college party? While most of you may have your keg stand, beer pong, and walk-of-shame days behind, it might be fun to squeeze all the aspects of your freshmen year into one night. Grab the red solo cups and pick a tacky costume party theme. The best part is that everyone is old enough to drink now, so you won’t have to settle for cheap booze. We’re adults now— adults that love craft beer and expensive tequila.

Choose your own path Everyone thinks graduation means immediately landing the dream job, but that is not always the case. It may be ideal to start working right out of college, but some of us might still be undecided when it comes to which path we want to take. If so, don’t be too discouraged. Get inspiration by traveling to new places, meeting interesting people or learning even more skills. Even after graduation, there is so much more to learn. Whether or not you have something lined up before you graduate, remember the most important thing you can take away from school is to do what makes you happy.

Senior Style: 6 ways to deck out your grad cap

Hayli Metter • College Times

W

hether you can’t wait to walk on that stage and kiss college goodbye or are desperate to hang around for one more semester, the time has inevitably come for the real world. Yikes.

But just because the glory years are about to be over doesn’t mean you can’t go out in style. After all, especially at universities like ASU, you want to be able to stand out in the massive crowd of thousands, don’t you?

Exactly. Lucky for you, we here at College Times have you covered. No boring cap ideas for you! Congrats, seniors! Now let’s blow it out in style.

8

April 23 - May 6, 2015 • ecollegetimes.com

appreciate all the support they’ve given you throughout your college career. You worked hard, but that hard work wouldn’t have been possible without them.

An Inspiration What inspires you? Is it a quote, a scene from a movie, an author or a particular book? Design it. Add the quote, draw the characters or cite the author. Whatever it is, let whatever it was that inspired your college career and upcoming professional career be known to the world when you take those steps across the stage. Be proud of what pushed you to work hard!

Go Classic You can never go wrong by showing school spirit, especially all the way to the end. Whether it’s a pitchfork, an artichoke, or big letters spelling out A-S-U, there are endless ways to make this fun and different. Break out the glitter, stencils or bright colors. But whatever you do, don’t be boring. The last thing you want to do is blend in!

Show Your Feels Cheesy, we know, but show the world just how you feel. Think about it. Graduation is a time of mixed emotions for just about everyone. Are you sad to be leaving?

Terrified? Relieved? Excited? Whatever it is, express it. Whether that’s by covering the entire top in gold glitter because of how excited you are to be done or painting a big smiley face that has “I’m finally done!” written underneath it, there are plenty of ways to express how you feel now that the road has come to an end.

Thank Supporters Although there are a few special students that do, many students didn’t make it through college on their own. Whether it was help from mom and dad, other family or friends, give them a shout out at graduation to let them know you

What’s Next?

What are your plans after graduating?

Are you going to travel the country, or maybe go abroad? Are you going to start your own business, or by some amazing stroke of luck starting your new dream job? Tell the crowd! Paint a roadmap of

your trip across the states, or pinpoint the city you’ll be visiting next on a colorful painted globe, or maybe spell out the name of the company you’ll be working for after the night is over. Let the world know that this journey has taken you somewhere, wherever that somewhere might be.

Your Degree Wow. It started as the word “major,” and now it’s “degree.” Yeesh! Being in the presence of such a massive student body, be proud of what you studied. Whether you’re a part of the business program, journalism or liberal arts, there are ways to decorate your cap for each one. Give the top of your cap a newspaper print for you journalism grads, or maybe a movie reel for film studies graduates. Take the degree you’ve worked so hard to earn and make something fun and creative out of it.

What You Love Are you a massive bookworm who loves “Harry Potter,” or maybe an aspiring chef? Do you love video games or have a passion for rescuing animals? When leaving your school behind, make sure you’re doing it as you. Throw on whatever design that might be. For the “Harry Potter” fans, give a J.K. Rowling quote.

For the gamers, maybe your favorite “League of Legends” champion, or stencil on your favorite Pokemon. Whatever it is, show your passion now that you’re done.

Appy Studying Show final exams who’s boss with these study apps Hayli Metter • College Times

H

ello, finals! Yes, it’s the worst part of the semester—that moment where summer feels so close, and yet is still so far with the end of classes in the way.

The hurdles of final exams are no joke, but the sweet taste of turning in that last assignment and knowing you’re done (for a while, at least) is always worth it. We know how rough those all-nighters and coffee-fuelled nights are, but we’re about to make your cramming sessions easier with a few apps to help you study.

Chegg Flashcards Available on iPhone This app is about to save you some serious time when it comes to studying. Why waste an hour making handwritten flashcards when you can put them together in this app even faster (and easier)? Add pictures, diagrams and bits of information to help you keep all your facts straight. The best part? The subject doesn’t even matter. You can use this app for everything from science to math to history. Plus, it keeps track of the cards you answer correctly and the ones you don’t remember. Study harder on the ones you miss, file away the ones you know. You’re welcome.

Evernote Peek Available on iPad Quizzing yourself on course material just got a whole lot more fun. Evernote Peek takes your iPad and its capabilities and turns it into an easy way to see just how well you know the

10

April 23 - May 6, 2015 • ecollegetimes.com

material. Take the top of the iPad smart cover and fold it up one flap to reveal the first question. When you’re ready for the answer, lift it one flap higher to reveal the answer, then fold it down completely to start over with a new question. It’s simple and easy. All you need is a free Evernote account to use the app, and the app itself is also free.

Exam Countdown Available on Apple devices Say goodbye to panicking about upcoming exams, or at least worrying about which exam is on what date. Exam Countdown is a countdown app that’s specifically designed to help you keep track of all your upcoming exam dates, as well as extra add-ons like when study guides are posted, when homework is due, and you can even share tips about certain exams with other students.

Silence Available on Android devices Silence is a necessity when it comes to studying and preparing for finals, which is why the library is always packed during this time of year. Silence, the app, helps with keeping things quiet. It sets your phone (everyone’s biggest distraction) to go automatically to silent mode during certain periods of time, including studying and exams. The last thing anyone wants to hear is a ringing or

vibrating phone in the middle of a final, especially when it’s their own ringtone.

The best part is that it turns the phone back to normal settings after the allotted time is over. No more forgetting your phone was on silent all day and missing calls or texts!

Study Checker Available on Android devices Everything done in life is created via habit.

You probably know whether or not you spend enough time studying for exams, but this app is designed to prove it. It logs how long you study, what subjects, breaks taken in between and more. It collects the information over a day, week or monthly basis, allowing you to look back and understand why you maybe didn’t do so hot on that last exam. It helps you improve your study habits and understand how much time

you should be dedicating to each test you take, and each subject you study.

Find out where there is room to do better!

MyScript Smart Note Available on Apple and Android devices If you’re a fan of taking notes by hand rather than typing, then this app is right up your alley. It actually recognizes handwriting, and allows you to search content based on what your notes consist of and can even translate it into typed text, depending on the version of the app you have.

No more losing notes and messy handwriting. MyScript saves you by keeping it all in one place and helping you with search options, graphics, drawings and more. The app is free, but also has in-app purchases available for various other features (which are probably worth the extra dollar or two, let’s be honest).

Hubble Trouble How an ASU professor helped save the Hubble Telescope from being a colossal failure Ainsley Despain • College Times Editor’s note: This is the first installment of a three-part series celebrating the Hubble Telescope’s 25th anniversary and the local legends that helped make it happen.

T

urn the clock back 25 years and you find yourself in 1990, when you could buy gas for $1.08 and “The Simpsons” first aired on TV. In 1990 NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope into low Earth orbit on Space Shuttle Discovery, where it still operates today. Arizona is home to some key players in this astronomy breakthrough, including England native Paul Scowen, who is a research associate professor at ASU. When it launched, he was attending graduate school at Rice University in Houston, Texas.

“In 1990 I was studying astronomy, studying towards my PHD—I had previously received my masters in astrophysics. The Hubble was actually ready to be launched in1986, but it didn’t because of the Challenger disaster,” Scowen says. “While NASA figured out what went wrong, [Hubble] was on the backburner.”

Most young adults grew up with images of space in their classroom

taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Taking that picture is easier said than done because of the refractive light of the Earth’s atmosphere. The successful launch of Hubble took the world of space exploration to a new level.

“It meant we had the ability to go beyond our atmosphere, which sounds obvious, but that’s what it meant for the world of astrophysics and space exploration. There’s a number of issues when it comes to getting a clear image of space. The simplest is to get above it.

Literally,” Scowen says.

Stars twinkle because in the last few nanoseconds that the light reaches us, it gets blurred from the gas that we breathe. The twinkling light may be beautiful, but it doesn’t make for accurate pictures.

For those who were too young to remember, there was a buzz phrase in the media when Hubble was launched— “Hubble trouble”.

“They had a big ‘dog and pony’ show, and it was supposed to be this exciting thing. ‘Here’s the first images—ta da!,’ which is wasn’t. Several scientists were present to see the images be revealed and they could tell they were wrong,” Scowen says. “The mirror was made the wrong shape. The source of the problem was the etching of the shape of the

mirror. There was an extra space in the mechanism that should have been taken out. Instead it introduced a very common spherical aberration. Where the mirror is too spherical versus the parabolic shape it should have been. It’s a pain in the butt.”

At that point Scowen was asked to participate in the team to fix Hubble. It was his first job out of grad school.

“They used to say we put in the ‘eye glasses,’ referring to the project I worked on. The first servicing mission fixed their own corrective elements—it had the same problem but in the opposite way, so it cancelled it out,” Scowen describes. “It was actually quite scary. Now we look back with rose colored glasses but when you look at the reality of it, you had the Challenger accident, after which everyone was grounded so the Hubble was supposed to be NASA’s coming out party, essentially. Then the images come through and they’re saying ‘Oh crap, it’s the wrong shape.’ It’s a supreme source of embarrassment.”

Scowen recalls the immense pressure involved in successfully completing the first servicing mission.

“If we failed, if we were unsuccessful, there were plenty of people in D.C. who were going to chop NASA up if it wasn’t perfect. So being a part of that project

was cool but it was also uncomfortable,” Scowen says. “We were invited to watch the launch in November, so we got to sit in the Everglades, in the middle of the night, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.

It was November, so it wasn’t that bad, but once it launched it was instant sunset.”

Once the first servicing mission was underway, Scowen and his team spent three-to-four weeks proving that the Hubble was in fact doing what it was supposed to do with the new element added.

“It went according to plan. Our spec was to take the light back into the central 99.7 percent level—we met that spec and knocked it out of the park. It was one heck of a job first out of grad school,” Scowen says. “I was a young man on the totem pole. I wrote a lot of the software.

We then translated that software into the testing that we did in those first few weeks. We got to use the camera for the first six-to-eight months to make sure it was capable to do what it was always designed to do.”

Scowen is currently working hard to help NASA define what the future of space-based UVOIR astronomy should look like in the next 10 years.

Kentucky Derby Crowd at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky

T

here’s no need to travel all the way to Kentucky for the rose garland, mint julep and a rendition of “My Old Kentucky Home”—you can have a wonderful Kentucky Derby experience right here in Arizona.

Fashion, southern charm, and horses all come together for the Kentucky Derby and no one wants to miss out!

The Valley has a few places you can get the royal treatment for the most prestigious horse race of the year.

While Arizona may be far from the race track, high fashion is still expected and encouraged as there will be awards at most race day events for the best show of southern style.

Creativity knows no bounds when it comes to the southern belle inspired hats seen at the Kentucky Derby. They often boast large arrangements of bows, ribbons, feathers and flowers.

Ladies, embrace your inner southern belle, and don’t miss this chance to make a fashion statement complete with dress and coordinating hat.

Ladies aren’t the only ones dressing to impress at the races. Gentlemen, too, have somewhat of a dress code to live up to. Keeping to southern tradition, men should toss out their black dress pants and spice things up with

brightly colored pants or suits. Bright colors like lime green, pastel pink, and sky blue embrace the vibrant yet relaxed feel of southern style. If your outfit needs something to top it all off, men’s derby hats typically keep to the ‘20s style. Once you choose a necktie or a bowtie, you’re ready to throw back a drink and cheer on the races.

BUBBLES AND BROWN: RACE FOR THE ROSES Enjoy $10 glasses of Perrier-Jouet Rose and $8 Makers Mark Mint Juleps—a long-standing traditional drink at the Derby—as part of the “Bubbles and Brown: Race for the Rose” event on race day. Awards will be given to the best hat and best dressed couple in attendance, so start planning that outfit now!

Kelly’s at Southbridge, 7117 E. Sixth Avenue, Scottsdale, 480.393.3205, kellysatsouthbridge.com, Saturday, May 2, all day A DERBY AFFAIR The Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa will host “A Derby Affair” on the lawns of the resort on race day. While guests watch the races on the big

screen and mingle with other attendees, southern food will be provided to enhance the experience. All proceeds will go to Homeward Bound, Arizona’s largest transitional housing program for homeless and domestic violence families with children.

Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa, 2400 E. Missouri Avenue, Phoenix, 602.374.8710, aderbyaffair.com, Saturday, May 2, 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

THE KENTUCKY DERBY LAWN PARTY The Fairmont Scottsdale steakhouse, Bourbon Steak, will host the “Millionaires’ Row Kentucky Derby Lawn Party” during the afternoon of race day. Also boasting the traditional mint juleps, Bourbon Steak will feature lawn games such as horseshoes outside and live music. Enjoy red velvet cupcakes, crab Louie, Carolina shrimp and grits in true southern style. Have your picture taken in the “Winner’s Circle,” and remember to dress for those fashion contests!

Bourbon Steak, 7575 E. Princess Drive, Scottsdale, 480.585.2694, scottsdaleprincess.com, Saturday, May 2, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Everything you need to know about cold brew coffee Jasmine Kemper • College Times

A

s college students, coffee runs through our veins. But as the weather heats up, some may opt for cold coffee over a hot one. Usually, we think of a cold coffee being brewed hot and poured over ice, but an alternative brewing method will make you see the world of roasted coffee in a new perspective.

The method is known as cold brew coffee.

While the technique isn’t necessarily new, it’s starting to pop up around the country as a new trend for coffee enthusiasts.

Nadav Mer is the owner of Morning Bell Coffee Roasters, a local coffee micro-roaster along Grand Avenue who has been serving Phoenix for a little over a year.

He specializes in cold brew coffee that is available for sale by the bottle for $5 in the store and in places around town such as the Saturday Open Air Market, Thirdspace, Grindhouse Coffee, Grand Avenue Pizza Company and The Lost Leaf.

While the process normally starts out the same way, every roaster approaches the process differently to make it unique to them. Typically, the ground coffee is brewed with cold water in a French press to chill in the refrigerator from anywhere between 12 to 24 hours, Mer says.

“Some cold brew taste very bright and “The industry buzzword is 30 percent. acidic and have a lot of interesting flavor in This has 30 percent of the acid of coffee them. Others are mellower, more chocolaty that is brewed hot. I think that the acidity and nutty. There are a lot of different ways thing is really good for people who have that you can make cold brew,” Mer says.

Morning Bell focuses on accentuating the acid problems, like for people that normally can’t drink coffee. Whatever gastrointestinal flavor by brewing the coffee when it’s at its issue they have, cold brew is freshest and letting it brew longer for higher caffeine a really nice way to drink cofcontent. fee for those who have those “The difference with kinds of issues,” Mer says. ours is that I brew it to Second, it has two-to-three strength so it’s not diluted times more caffeine because at all.

“When you take [hot] brewed coffee and brew it down, you’re extracting a lot of that process. You’re bringing out a lot of things in that blend that aren’t necessarily good.”

Cold brew extracts so little from the grounds that some people are even able to reuse their grounds multiple times, Mer says.

“With cold brew it’s just really a story of that extraction, to extract as much as we can flavor-wise and caffeine-wise,” he says.

Cold brew can be served in a variety of ways, including with milk or even straight black. But one thing remains the same; it can be enjoyed by every type of coffee lover.

“Cold brew is very trendy. That’s something to kind of make note of. We have these huge trends right now towards cold brew all over the country. It’s a different way to take coffee,” Mer says.

Coffee has consistently been popular throughout its existence, and places like Morning Bell Coffee Roasters are giving customers a reason to indulge in this original type of brew.

“It’s a good kind of gateway drug to all the rest of the interesting things happening to coffee. There’s a lot of innovation going on, and obviously in Phoenix it’s nice to be able to sell a cold beverage,” Mer says. ecollegetimes.com

Deal-A-Day Hacks

HOW TO USE

to cheap out on expensive services

Hayli Metter • College Times

A

s a college student, it’s safe to say that most of us are on a pretty strict budget. But that doesn’t mean we don’t still have wants and desires. Typically we’ll take whatever advantages we can get when it comes to discounts and cutting corners to make these things happen, and the best part about it is that there’s a resource for just that: Groupon.

Believe it or not, Groupon hacks are a real thing. While it’s awesome being able to grab a blow out for only $20 and even better for a month of Bikram yoga for $30, we all know the business is offering that deal to eventually grab your business at full price. They give you a taste in hopes of keeping you around as a regular customer, which is a smart business move, but not so smart for the

16

April 23 - May 6, 2015 • ecollegetimes.com

college wallet.

So where does that leave us? Hacks.

With deal-a-day websites like Groupon, LivingSocial, Deal Chicken and more, you can “hack” your way to cheap products, exercise sessions and other services for life. You just have to be able to look business owners in the eye and say “no” when they lay on the hard sell after your Groupon expires.

Step 1 Download the app and make an account, or just head to the website.

The Groupon app is available for pretty much every smartphone on the market, and it’s way easier to navigate than the website. It’s a free app, but make sure to turn off the alerts if you don’t want to be spammed with deals multiple times a day.

Step 2 Set your location and department of interest. Groupon divides their offers into different sections: travel, food & drink, health & fitness, things to do, and more. Put in your location and area of interest and Groupon will pop up with endless options for you to choose from in your designated area. Prepare to get sucked into a black hole of awesome deals.

Step 3 Start digging. This is where the “hacking” comes in. You want more than just a month of Bikram yoga? Don’t worry— there are dozens of different studios throughout the Phoenix metro area, and many of them have listings on Groupon.

They may limit you to one purchase of each Groupon, but who says you have to keep going to the same place? Checking

out a different studio each time means $30 a month instead of $100, and you can typically purchase new ones for each location after a certain amount of time. The result: endless discounted Bikram yoga, or the service of your choosing.

Lather, rinse, repeat. The concept applies to just about anything: get your fill of cleaning services or a monthly membership at a boxing gym with multiple, independently-owned locations. Get discounted tanning at different salons in the area each month, or maybe treat yourself to a well-deserved massage or spa day. But be sure to use your Groupons in the allotted time available, as they often expire after a certain length of time. But the hacks are essentially endless. Clearly being a student on a budget doesn’t mean you always have to live like one!

The rockin’ pianos come back to Mill at Low Key Piano Bar Breanne DeMore • College Times

R

eplacing the space that used to be the Big Bang on Mill, Low Key Piano Bar now satisfies the high demand for a dueling piano bar in the Tempe area, but with a modern, fresh take.

For 12 years, the Big Bang was a reliable source for a great time on Mill.

Skillful pianists would take their seats behind the keys and fill the venue with

requests from the crowd. Whether it was rock, R&B or pop, guests would sing along loudly and cheer as the pianists played neck-to-neck to earn the tips left by the crowd.

However, in a world where everything hinges on keeping up with the latest and greatest in technology, music and décor, it was inevitable that the atmosphere of the Big Bang would grow stagnant and run its course.

After a very brief stint as RCK CTY, a nightclub, the space became Low Key Piano Bar at the beginning of March when it opened its doors.

With all-new baby grand pianos, a lot more screens, a modern and upscale atmosphere and what owner Austin Walter calls the best sound system in the country for piano bars, Low Key is ready to blow away any of your misconceptions on the limitations of

dueling pianos.

In addition to the always rockin’ music, Walter promises weekly giveaways that are sure to impress you. Some of the past giveaways include tickets to Dave Chappelle’s Phoenix show, incredible Arizona Coyotes seats and more.

So, for those that have never been to a dueling pianos bar, what can guests expect? “[They can expect] a little bit of everything. It’s very interactive with the audience and high energy from start to finish,” Walter says.

This isn’t your typical conversation bar—Low Key is all about the entire experience. People get pulled on stage and, during some songs, the whole place is singing along.

Reservations, especially for a big group or a special occasion, are highly encouraged.

LOW KEY PIANO BAR 501 S. Mill Avenue, Tempe, 480.355.1705, lowkeypianobar. com, Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. with pianos at 8 p.m.

Pat’s Run celebrates ASU alum 11 years after his death Hayli Metter • College Times

T

he name Pat Tillman might be one of the most honorable, respectable and downright decent names in the Arizona community. It’s been 11 years since his passing, and yet Arizonans still continue to honor his legacy—and for good reason.

The story of Pat Tillman is both noble and devastating. An Arizona State University 1994 alum, Tillman advanced from playing as a linebacker in college to safety for the Arizona Cardinals. He was so loyal to the Cardinals, in fact, that he once turned down a $9 million contract offered by the St. Louis Rams to continue playing for his team.

But that all changed in May 2002, just eight months after the infamous terrorist attacks on September 11. Although the Cardinals offered him a new (and higher) contract for the next three years, Tillman turned them down to enlist in the United States Army, along with his brother, Kevin. Kevin had his own career path forming in professional baseball, turning down the Cleveland Indians to fight with his brother.

Two years into Tillman’s service, however, while fighting in Afghanistan, reports started flooding in that he had been killed in the line of enemy fire. It was initially claimed that Tillman and his unit had been attacked in an ambush just outside the Pakistan border. A month

20

April 23 - May 6, 2015 • ecollegetimes.com

after his funeral, however, it was confirmed by the Department of Defense that Tillman’s death had actually been ruled as friendly fire, shot three times in the head.

It was a devastating time—not just for Arizonans, but for the entire country. A true American hero was lost, and the mourning could be felt from coast to coast.

But trust America to take something bad and turn it into something good. It seems no matter what we’re put through, we always seem to endure. The Pat Tillman Foundation was created, designed to carry forward Tillman’s legacy. The Cardinals retired his number, 40, and Arizona State University retired his former number, 42. More than 10,000 people came out to participate in the first ever Pat’s Run, and since then, the run has only continued to grow.

So come out to support a true, American hero. Pat’s Run is a 4.2 mile run/walk that twists throughout the roads of Tempe, finishing at the 42-yard line on the field at Sun Devil’s Stadium, signifying his college number. Raise money for a great cause, and remember Pat Tillman.

Nightlife >>> IN THE CLUBS Marc Kinchen Marc Kinchen is an industry veteran, having placed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart back in the ‘90s. He’s been the best of the best for a while, and now he’s heading back to the desert to remind us at Maya Day + Nightclub!

Maya Day + Nightclub, 7333 E. Indian Plaza, Scottsdale, 480.625.0528, Friday, May 1, 9 p.m., $15 A-Trak Canadian legend/DJ Alain Macklovitch, better known by stage name A-Trak, is one of the most well-known names in electronic dance music. Having headlined shows like I Love This Music Festival in San Diego, Ultra and Electric Daisy Carnival, there’s little he hasn’t accomplished—the guy even owns his own record label! Come party poolside with A-Trak to kick off summer at Maya.

Maya Day + Nightclub, 7333 E. Indian Plaza, Scottsdale, 480.625.0528, Sunday, May 3, 12 p.m., $20 Matthew Koma When it comes to networking, Matthew Koma is a pro at it. He might be newer to the scene, having only launched his music career in the last five years, but his list of friends proves that pretty meaningless. He’s got people like Hardwell, Tiesto, Zedd and Alesso on speed dial, and his hit song “One Night” became a smash when Vicetone came in with a killer remix. Catch Koma live and hear it for yourself!

The New York duo of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, whose hits consist of “#SELFIE” and “Kanye,” are two of the fastest rising stars in the EDM industry, especially for being only three years old.

Grab your swimsuit and get ready for drinks, a good time, and a great tan to show for it.

Tiesto will headline Wet Electric.

Wet Electric is wet, wild and out of control in the best way Lyle Maxson • College Times

here’s no better way to kick off our scorching Arizona summer with an event coined as “America’s Largest Pool Party.”

It’s known as Wet Electric, and it has evolved the pool party into something utterly unforgettable. This year the event will be bigger and better than ever, with some of the most renowned names in EDM, including Tiesto, Dillion Francis, Tommy Trash and dozens more.

It all begins Saturday, April 25 at 12 p.m. at Big Surf Waterpark in Scottsdale.

Pacing yourself is important, though. This event lasts until 9 p.m. and it goes for two full days!

Wet Electric is expected to have 15,000 to 20,000 wet, wild bodies, so plan ahead if you want to party in luxury.

T

Sort out your action plan for cabanas, water park full rides, and your position to see the main stage, which is actually going to float. Yes, float! Last year everyone partied in the wave pool. This year, the stage will be directly in the middle of it!

The event has only grown in size since its kick-off four years ago. It brings an entire new element to the electronic scene. It basically turns any given weekend into a local spring break for whatever destination it is held at, packed with gorgeous, fit, affluent people, all half-naked prepared for an all day and night party. The energy is everywhere.

Instead of feeling the bass move through the air, you feel the bass ripple through the water.

The show starts early enough to get an amazing tan and frolic in the pool

for hours, but goes late enough to enjoy the shows headliners under the stars in a more intimate manner. There will be other stages to choose from, plus a swimup bar, so you won’t even have to get out of the pool to grab a drink! If all of this isn’t enough to entice you, they have a zipline that goes over the wave pool and fireworks to cap it all off!

So prepare yourself for one crazy weekend. With tickets at over $150 for two-day passes, it’s advised that you to purchase them ASAP. WET ELECTRIC Big Surf Waterpark, 1500 N. McClintock Drive, Scottsdale, relentlessbeats.com, Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26, 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., $150 for two days

Shopping >>> SUMMER SKIN SURVIVAL TIPS

for desert dwellers Christina Caldwell • College Times

S

ummer is coming.

That means something quite different in Arizona. While the rest of the country is embracing the sun, we retreat inside, binging on Netflix and cranking the AC down to 74 for some semblance of normalcy.

While it might be hot outside, you don’t have to completely avoid the outdoors this summer. You might be tempted to burn your way to a killer tan, but our state’s penetrating UV rays can only lead to bad times—and bad skin—if precautions aren’t taken.

These summer skincare tips will make sure your skin doesn’t become as dry and damaged as the Sonoran Desert.

Pick a sunscreen you can stick to As you look in the mirror, you probably don’t realize how packed with collagen your young skin really is. But one day that will go away, and the more you worship the sun, the sooner that day will come.

You can do your part to stave off aging as long as possible by wearing sunscreen on your face. Every single day. SPF 30 or higher.

Think about how much exposure your skin gets to the sun here in Arizona. Even just walking from your car to the store is a trek

through a hellacious landscape taking a toll on your skin.

Wearing sunscreen every day might sound like a horror story if you’re used to the bargain bin all-purpose sunscreen you only wear on trips to the river, but there are alternatives that aren’t the white, tacky mess you’re used to.

Many Asian sunscreens, for example, are light, dry easily and leave zero white cast, which is perfect for applying under makeup. The only problem is we don’t live in Asia, which means you’ll have to order these kinds of products online, and delivery can take awhile. If you have the patience to wait, products like Biore’s Sarasara UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++ are great. Yes, that’s its real name. Just Amazon “Biore Watery Essence” and you’ll be able to find it.

Good domestic alternatives that, unfortunately, might leave a white cast include Elta MD UV Physical SPF 41, Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunblock Lotion, SPF 60+ and Shiseido FT The Sun Screen Mild SPF 50+ PA+++. They’re on the expensive side, but how much is your beautiful skin worth to you?

Wearing sunscreen prevents age spots, the darkening of old acne scars and aging.

So basically it’s the ultimate skincare product, the whole year ‘round.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize Dry skin looks older, greyer and lacks a healthy glow. On top of moisturizing your insides (Um, we mean drinking lots of water, pervert.), make a point to moisturize your entire body, focusing on your face, neck, hands and feet.

The summer dryness will suck out any natural moisture in your skin, so be prepared to walk around with a travel-sized bottle of lotion in your purse to re-moisturize after washing your hands, or when you just feel dry.

If you, like a lot of early 20-somethings, are worried about moisturizer breaking out your skin, there are ways to limit that risk, by looking up the product or entering its ingredients into cosdna.com. You might even find a common denominator ingredient in all of the products that have broken your skin out, so you’ll know to avoid that ingredient in the future.

Good overnight moisturizers for parched, acne-prone skin include Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Mask, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, but be sure to do your research if you’re sensitive, no matter what the product promises.

Fake it, don’t bake it Accidental tans and occasional tanning a few times a year won’t ruin your skin forever, but as a principle, you should fake it as much as you can.

If you feel like you look too pale for summer (and don’t forget that pale can often be pretty!), investing in solid sunless tanners like Xen-Tan, SUN Laboratories or St. Tropez products might be worth it to you. They’ll run you around $20 to $30 per bottle, but they’re heavily concentrated and can be diluted with the moisturizer of your choice.

If you’re afraid of streaks, gradual tanning lotions like Jergens Natural Glow or its store brand equivalent are quick, subtle ways to get color without the mess. Just remember to wash your hands after use!

If all else fails, put your skin in the hands of a professional.

Airbrush tanning gets bigger by the year. Look up Yelp reviews to find the best airbrush tanning salon in your area.

Alan Sculley • Last Word Features

I

n 2011, the Decemberists hit a new pinnacle when the group’s album, The King is Dead, debuted at number one on Billboard magazine’s album chart.

The band went on tour as The King is Dead racked up sales and impressive reviews. Then in 2012, the group members did something they hadn’t done in a career that stretched back a dozen years—they went on an extended break.

“It was definitely a moment to get away from things and just, yeah, it just seemed like it was time,” guitarist Chris Funk says of the decision to put The Decemberists on pause. “It was time to break off and do other stuff, for sure.”

And other stuff the five band members did.

Ironically, Colin Meloy, The Decemberists’ lead singer, songwriter and best-known band member, kept the lowest profile—at least as far as music was concerned. During the break, he focused on writing the third installment in his series of “Wildwood Chronicles” fantasy adventure illustrated novels, “Wildwood Imperium” (with his wife, Carson Ellis, handling the artwork).

Meloy also wrote songs for what eventually became the new Decemberists album, What a

Terrible World, What a Beautiful World, during the hiatus, but songwriting served as a breather from work on the book, rather than his primary project.

Meanwhile, the other four members of The Decemberists—Funk, keyboardist/ accordion player Jenny Conlee, bassist Nate Query and drummer John Moen— wasted little time returning to musical pursuits.

Along with Annalisa Tornfelt (vocals/ violin) and Jon Neufeld (guitar), they reactivated their rootsy bluegrassinformed side band Black Prairie and put the pedal down on that project.

The group released three albums – 2012’s A Tear in the Eye Is a Wound in the Heart, 2013’s Wild Ones and 2014’s Fortune—and toured extensively, considerably raising the profile of the band in the process.

The roadwork also helped the four members of The Decemberists maintain their playing chops for the time when their main band reconvened.

“Four years is a long break had we not played music with each other,” Funk

says. “So I think it benefited the band and the recording process (for What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World) in the sense that we were just already up (and running), the whole band, working together.”

When it was time for The Decemberists to end their hiatus, the group didn’t rush into the What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World project.

Instead, work on the album stretched out for a year and a half as the band began recording and refining the 18 songs Meloy had amassed during the hiatus and exploring other song ideas.

Funk said while the band worked diligently—some of the parts recorded on the first day in the studio are on the finished album—the extensive schedule for studio work was a nice change from the shorter, more frenetic recording sessions that had produced the other Decemberists albums.

“I think it (the 18-month schedule) was just a way to ease back into it,” Funk says, “and also not just going into the studio and having this fullon recording happening all of the time.”

The extensive work that went into What a Terrible World,

What a Beautiful World paid off. It’s one of the strongest albums in a catalog populated by six other acclaimed—and frequently ambitious—albums.

Funk says fans can expect to hear songs from across The Decemberists’ career during the band’s concerts this spring.

“I think it’s a pretty healthy retrospective on everything mixed in with the new material that we’re excited to play,” he says. “We are conscious of the fact that we have fans that have been with us since day one, so we’re trying to play music they want to hear, but also be conscious that likely we have a lot of fans that signed on at kind of The King Is Dead era for The Decemberists.

“But yeah, we try to make it fun for us, too,” Funk says. “I think whether or not people have heard songs all the time, we’re not a band fully driven on hits, either. We have a catalog of music and a fan base that I think was kind of created out of touring a lot. So we can kind of get away with choosing a set list that we think is exciting.”

Fun

for Hire

The Ting Tings know how to have a good time Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times

R

aised outside of Manchester, England, Katie White was a typical teenager, indulging in acts like the Backstreet Boys.

But the minute she moved near Islington Mill arts center in Salford in her late teens, things changed.

“There was an art space and every night there was a different band that was playing,” she says via telephone from Atlanta. “There would be terrible white noise artists that make your ears bleed, a crazy Japanese rock band I never heard of.

“Then within a month, I got into Blondie and the Talking Heads and The Smiths—all of my favorite bands I didn’t know existed.

I changed the way I dressed. It was real moment for me. I learned it’s pop music and you can do it quite differently.”

That’s been a mantra for The Ting Tings, which she co-founded in 2007 with Jules De Martino. On the duo’s third album, Super Critical, they channeled the disco era of Studio 54, CBGB and new wave. De Martino and White owe it to former Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor, whom they met after decamping in Ibiza.

“It was amazing,” White says. “It was the best experience we ever had. I didn’t even know who Andy was. We went to Ibiza. We didn’t know Andy was there, and it’s completely random that we met him.”

The trio became “very good friends” and had no plans to work together. After all, it would be awkward if it didn’t pan out. But

one day, they decided to try it.

“We didn’t leave the studio for nine months,” says White, whose band struck platinum with the single “That’s Not My Name.”

Taylor shared stories about his time at notorious discos like Studio 54. White saw a photo of Diana Ross in the club’s DJ booth and he told her he was actually with the legendary Motown singer.

“He would have these amazing stories,” White says. “We would romanticize about late ‘70s, early ‘80s music. He’d play this music we hadn’t discovered yet. It was the perfect match.

“On paper, I never would have said, ‘On our third album, we’re going to move to Ibiza and meet some guy from Duran Duran.’ It wouldn’t have made sense on paper.”

The evolution of The Tings Tings from punk-pop to disco-pop, White admits, can be confusing to listeners.

“Our first album became quite successful,” she says. “Even when we wrote that first album, we came from a creative place. We love songwriting and for us to write the same album twice would be boring.

“We love changing up every album and try and attempt to do something different.

Sometimes we get it right—that’s the fun part.”

POP CULTURE

Clutch

CONCERT CALENDAR

Clutch has rock, funk and metal ingrained in its DNA Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times

H

overing between the lines of hard rock, funk and metal, the Marylandbased act Clutch is going to blur the edges a little more with its fall album.

“It’s a little more dynamic than Earth Rocker,” drummer Jean-Pierre (J.P.) Gaster says about Clutch’s previous effort. “Earth Rocker is very straight forward, and on that record, we really attempted to make a collection of songs that played themselves all the way through.

“These songs are a little more varied in tempo and feel. We touch on some blues stuff and some punk-based stuff that we didn’t get to on Earth Rocker.”

Clutch is in the process of mixing the album, but Gaster was just as stoked to talk about his band’s tour with Mastodon, a onetwo punch of genre-crossing rock that hits Marquee Theatre on Thursday, April 30.

“I’m excited about coming back to Arizona,” he says. “But I’m really excited about coming back to Arizona with Mastodon.”

Gaster spoke with College Times about the new record and how he prepares for the tour grind.

College Times: One thing I like about Clutch is the mixture of humorous and serious topics on your records. Not too many people can get away with “bebop alloobop awopshamboo and domo arigato if I got to” in a harder song.

Gaster: Thankfully we have Neil Fallon in the band who’s easily one of the most talented lyricists in rock ‘n’ roll today.

It’s sad that more people don’t know that.

April 23 - May 6, 2015 • ecollegetimes.com

The sound of the band is one that is kind of an acquired taste. It’s kind of jarring to them. Part of that is it’s difficult for them to categorize. It’s not metal, hardcore or (funk). It’s an amalgamation of all these genres and sometimes that throws people off. But the folks who do understand the band are very passionate about the music.

We have a very devoted fanbase. We don’t take that for granted.

It must be strenuous to play drums every night. How do you prepare for a tour like the one you’re doing with Mastodon?

I practice a lot, especially after we’ve been off the road for quite some time. There’s a level of physicality that is involved in the way that I play drums. I also get on the elliptical machine. But I spend a lot of time practicing.

You said that Clutch is a mixture of different genres. Does that reflect the tastes of the individual band members?

We are a product of how we grew up. The shows that we saw, the music we listened to, it wasn’t just hardcore. (Washington) D.C. gave us the opportunity to see a lot of east coast hardcore bands. But I’ve seen some very influential jazz players like Elvin Jones, Peter Erskine and Billy Cobham. It gets mixed around and becomes the DNA of the band.

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) You still might have to deal with some lingering confusion that marked a recent workplace situation. But for the most part, you should now be well on your way to your next project.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A problem neighbor might be looking to goad you into an action you don’t want to take. Ask someone you both respect if he or she would act as an impartial arbitrator for both of you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new commitment might demand more time than you’d expected to have to give it. But rely on that special Bovine gift for patience, and stick with it.

You’ll be glad you did.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent workplace accomplishment hasn’t been overlooked by those who watch these things.

Meanwhile, start making travel plans for that much-too-long-deferred trip with someone special.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re earning the admiration of a lot of people who like the way you handle yourself when your views are on the line. Even one or two of your detractors are being won over.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Those money matters continue to move in your favor. Now would be a good time to start putting some money back into the house, both for esthetic as well as economic reasons.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking your responsibilities seriously is what you do. But ease up on the pressure gauge, and make time for much needed R & R. Start by making this weekend a “just for fun” time zone.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A changing workplace environment can create job pressures. But, once again, follow the example of your birth sign and take things a step at a time, like the sure-footed Goat you are.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some recently uncovered information might make a change of plans inevitable. If so, deal with it as quickly as possible, and then find out what went wrong and why. What you learn might surprise you.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Cheer up. You could soon have the funds you need for your worthy project. Your generous gifts of time and effort are well known, and someone might decide it’s time to join with you.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Aspects favor moving carefully and deliberately when making any significant changes. Could be there are more facts you need to know, which you might overlook if you rush things.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your inner scam-catcher is right on target, and you’re absolutely right to reject that “too good to be true” offer. Meanwhile, something positive should be making its way to you. ©2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
