Road

’ n i p p Tri

So without further ado, here are some ways you can travel for under $200.

The car One of the priciest parts of a road trip is transportation.

Nothing is worse than unexpected car troubles and expensive gas. So if you want to use your own car, get it checked out at the shop before taking off. While some of the repairs might cost you, it’ll be worth not having to call AAA from the middle of nowhere. If you don’t trust your car, opt for a rental. You might be able to find some good rates for a car with kickass gas mileage.

ollege students have all the free time in the world during summer vacation, but none of the money to do anything with it. Let’s face it: college is expensive. Road trips are expensive.

Everything is expensive.

Going on vacation in college usually means booking a sketchy hotel and eat-

ing McDonald’s every day, or you and 10 of your closest friends sharing one car to save a few bucks. In other words, road trips are more of a hassle than a good time.

There are a lot of ways to plan a comfortable road trip on a college budget—you just have to know the tricks of travel. It feels a lot better when there’s still money left in your pocket at the end.

The food Food is key on a road trip, but it can also destroy your wallet.

While it’s tempting, don’t eat fast food.

It’ll be healthier and cheaper to go to the grocery store to stock up on your favorite road trip munchies. Plus, you won’t have to stop as much because you already have enough food in the backseat. Save your cash for more important things like going to a fancy dinner one of the nights.

The sleeping arrangements Where you sleep can determine the whole trip. You want to pick a place that’s both comfortable and affordable.

Chances are wherever you go, you won’t be spending much time in the room anyways, so there’s really no point in picking a hotel with a ton of amenities.

If you want to go even cheaper, grab some sleeping bags and go camping with friends. Feeling even more adventurous?

You can try couch surfing and be a guest on a stranger’s couch on the cheap!

The timing Timing is a very important part of planning your cheap road trip. If you leave on a holiday, you’re almost guaranteed to run into problems like gas-wasting traffic, higher gas prices, inflated hotel rates and overcrowded tourist attractions. If you can help it, travel around major holidays and during the week when everyone else is at work.

The spending Getting overly excited about being in a new place can trick your mind into buying things you don’t need. Be wary around the gift shops. They’re full of souvenirs that will empty your pockets like ironic T-shirts, shot glasses and keychains galore. Don’t waste your money on these material items. Instead, try grabbing an old school disposable camera and snap away. The pictures will be candid and cannot be undone like the ones on your phone. At the end of the trip, you have a cheap and personalized way of remembering special moments.

How to MAKE MONEY on your own time THIS SUMMER Hayli Metter • College Times

S

ummer brings about some of the best things in life: time off from classes, time in the sun and extra time sleeping in. In short, time. With school not taking up so much of your schedule, you have more time to do whatever you want. Why not use that free time to build up some extra cash?

Since most people won’t hire for only a few months, your typical 9 to 5 might be hard to come by. Plus, you never know when you’ll want to use your time for a spontaneous road trip (or Netflix binge). So we’ve put together a list of “jobs” where you make your own schedule.

Craigslist A weird one—but you might be surprised. Flipping items you find on Craigslist has opportunity for big bucks, if you know how to play your cards right. Scour the website to find the best deals in the area and then do what you can to flip it for a higher cost. Whether that’s clothing that needs mending, electronics that need fixing or furniture that needs a paint job, this is a great way to make quick money without worrying about a set schedule.

Donate blood/plasma Not for the light-hearted or those who faint at the sight of blood, but donating blood and plasma can not only bring in a decent amount of cash, but is also consistent. There

are definitely some standards involved—patients must submit their medical history and be of a certain height and weight, but you could make nearly $500 a month depending on where you go. Make some cash while helping people in need!

Babysit/Pet-sit Nothing beats getting to spend time with kids or pets.

Most people pay at least $10 an hour for babysitting, depending on the ages and how many kids, and a lot of families pay a daily rate for someone to hang out at their house with their pets, feed them, play with them and take them for walks. Finding these jobs is easy—check out websites like sittercity.com or leave fliers around the neighborhood to spread the word.

Etsy For all you creative types, this summer is a great time to work on your favorite hobbies—and make money doing it. Etsy is a great website to sell anything you make on your own domain. Whether it’s arts, crafts, jewelry or clothes, the possibilities are endless to combine your favorite hobby and make money doing it. Getting paid to do what you love—is there anything better?

Yard sale Gather up everything around the house that’s worth something and set it outside in your front yard. It’s best to

do this at the beginning of summertime and early in the morning to avoid the worst of the heat. Everything is worth something, and there’s always a buyer. Make an event on Facebook, post signs around major streets in the area and leave out some cold water or lemonade for your guests.

Price everything cheap enough so that it sells and make sure to have some cash handy to make change.

Uber/Lyft These app-based transportation services aren’t just convenient and loved by riders—their drivers love them, too.

All you need is a car, familiarity with the city and some free time and you’re on your way to a job where you can make your own schedule. Each company has their own vehicle regulations, and definitely be prepared for a background check, but if you’re a good driver who likes meeting new people, this is a great summer job for you!

Postmates This service is being called “the Uber for food,” and for good reason. Oh! And they landed the delivery deal with Chipotle and Starbucks, so it’s safe to say they’re on the up and up. Food delivery might not be the most glamorous, but being part of a company that is associated with big names like that and making up to $25 an hour while making your own schedule sounds pretty good to us!

Hubble at Home How ASU faculty has impacted the past and future of space exploration

Ainsley Despain • College Times Editor’s Note: These are the second and third installments of a three-part series celebrating the Hubble Telescope’s 25th anniversary and the local legends who helped make it happen.

PART II

O

n April 24, 1990, Rogier Windhorst, co-director of the ASU Cosmology Initiative, found himself in Downtown Phoenix on the “Barry Young” show talking about the Hubble Telescope.

“I was actually at KTAR, just off Central Avenue there at the old funky looking building right next door. [Barry Young] was a friend of mine, I had just gotten hired [at ASU] a few years before and he invited me to come over and basically talk about the launch,” Windhorst says. “I was involved with Hubble from before the launch at the observatories at Cal Tech in Pasadena working on the earlier White Field Camera 1.”

Windhorst had a Carnegie Research Fellowship at the observatory and was asked to participate in the WFC 1 project.

He was still working on the project when the Challenger exploded.

“It made Hubble more uncertain, whether it was going to launch or not. It did, of course, but then it didn’t work—it was horrible the first three years,” Windhorst says.

“It’s not widely advertised but it’s not a secret either. It was like buying glasses and getting the wrong prescription.”

There were three tests done for Hubble before launch.

8

MAY 7, 2015 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

“The first test showed it was fine—that test was done wrong. The second test showed there was a problem and the third test was inconclusive. The manager decided to go with the test that said there was nothing wrong. That’s what happens—they learned their lesson.”

WFC 1 was replaced by WFC 2 in December 1993 in the first servicing mission to Hubble by the astronauts. WFC 2 is now featured in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.

“It got replaced by the camera that Paul Scowen was involved with and then 16 years later in May 2009 we took his camera out and put a new camera in, WFC 3, which I was also involved in,” Windhorst says. “Ours is still in there working just fine. As of this last May, we’re a year behind our official warranty.

We had a five year guarantee but with the goal that it last 10 to 15 years.”

Windhorst estimates Hubble will last to the end of this decade.

“It’s been quite a ride. It’s hard to imagine that it’s been 25 years,” Windhorst says. “Hubble is the best thing in science since Galileo. We had no clue it was going to be this neat. Not like this.”

PART III

A

s celebrations of the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope come to a close, we now look to the future of space exploration, both nationally and here in Arizona.

The James Webb Telescope, a sequel to Hubble that will be 300 times more efficient, is set to launch in October 2018. Not out to replace Hubble, the size and complexity of the Webb Telescope will allow it to do more while also complementing the research that the former has done.

Windhorst has been involved in a committee that oversees the science used on the Webb Telescope, a project that has been in the works for longer than you would think.

“It has been on the drawing boards for a while. Believe it or not, the original idea was conceived—sort of as a wild idea— the year before Hubble was launched in 1989,” Windhorst says. “Parts of NASA started thinking about it in 1996. Hubble was only supposed to last 15 years but now it’s lasted 25 and it could last 30.”

Congress approved the funding for the James Webb sequel project in 2002. At that point, Hubble was 12 years old.

“Building these things can take 10 to 20 years. The University of Arizona is building the camera for the Webb Telescope,” Windhorst says. “It will be in orbit not with the Earth but with the moon and Earth around the sun. It’s five times farther from the Earth than the moon which means it’s in a very cold and dark place to minimize glare.”

When it comes to life on other planets, Windhorst thinks it’s a possibility.

“James Webb doesn’t have so much a chance of showing life but a chemical proof of carbon dioxide and oxygen—what

makes up our ozone layer—which could prove the potential for life,” Windhorst says. “Evidence of plant life would make a planet a candidate for further investigation. We’re not talking about travelling to these places—just observing.”

In the nearer future, and closer to home, the first space instrument built at ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration at the Tempe campus will launch on a NASA rocket next year.

The project is called OTES, short for OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer.

“This is a mission that is going to be launched to smash and grab on an asteroid. The shuttle will travel up to the asteroid, sit there for a bit and orbit, all the while getting data as it scans the surface down to the 10 centimeter level,” says Paul Scowen, research associate professor at ASU. “It will map out the chemical and geological nature of the surface.

Ultimately part of the space craft will go in and grab some of it to bring back.”

Each project undergoes several series of testing before a final prototype is produced.

“Ultimately the proof of the pudding is in the eating, right? You’ve got to actually build prototype models and put it through a bunch of testing with varying temperatures and environments. You’ve got to test it to know that it’s going to work,” Scowen says. “Space Exploration Systems Engineering is all about the planning, designing and testing. In a variety of ways the issues have been solved in the past and you just have to learn from others’ mistakes.”

OTES began as nothing more than a 3-D computer model but come next year it will launch into space to eventually survey the surface of asteroid Bennu in 2018.

A countdown to the launch of OTES at ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration.

Arizona State makes a bold move, hires Bobby Hurley as men’s head basketball coach

Curt Blakeney • College Times

T

ired of playing in the shadow of their brethren to the south, Arizona State hired basketball blueblood Bobby Hurley to try to guide the Sun Devils out of their decades-old hoops malaise.

The initial reaction to the signing last month has been overwhelmingly positive from basketball analysts and ASU fans.

This was a slam dunk, an alley-oop, a lastsecond buzzer beater… or any basketball analogy that fits a hire that was knocked out of the park (oops, a baseball analogy).

This was also an extremely fortuitous bounce for ASU athletic director Ray Anderson as he tries to energize a listless fan base. Hurley, 43, is just emerging as a coaching talent. In his second year at the University of Buffalo, he led the Bulls to their first NCAA tournament appearance in school history.

ASU fans had lost interest in the bland style of basketball presented by Herb Sendek, Hurley’s predecessor. Sendek only reached the NCAA tournament—the litmus test of any college hoops program— twice in nine years. That’s not getting it

done. Overlooking the infrequent tournament appearances and occasional blue-chip players (think James Harden), Arizona State basketball had become irrelevant.

Arizona State nailed it with Todd Graham when he was hired three years ago to lead the football program. ASU was considered a sleeping giant, and Graham has done an outstanding job re-energizing the community, winning on the field, recruiting elite athletes, shaking hands and kissing babies in order to build an elite program. He’s almost there.

In Tucson, Wildcats fans are fairly optimistic that Rich Rodriguez will do the same for the U of A football program.

He won the Pac-12 South last year and is now recruiting athletes that play his style of fast-and-furious football. Both football programs are heading to a happy place on the national scene: perennial top-25 status.

In hoops, however, the two programs couldn’t be any further apart. Arizona is a basketball powerhouse that can go toeto-toe with any team in the nation—on the recruiting trail, the court and mentions on ESPN Sports Center. ASU, however, has been practically invisible—a 95-pound weakling getting sand kicked on him.

Hurley was brought in to change that perception and the losing culture. He has the basketball chops—as an elite basketball player at Duke, where he led the Blue Devils to back-to-back national championships—and the pedigree to succeed at a high level. His father, Bob Hurley Sr., is considered one of the greatest high school coaches ever at St.

Anthony’s in New Jersey. And his mentor at Duke, Mike Krzyzewski, would have his likeness carved into stone if there was a Mount Rushmore for college basketball coaches.

“I’m pretty humble, but when it comes to basketball, I’m pretty confident,” Hurley says. “I’ve been in big games my whole life. I prepare my teams to win championships. I have every intention of getting this program there.”

Hurley won’t fail. The only worry is that he won’t succeed fast enough to keep the elite programs from offering him a job he can’t refuse. Hurley is accustomed to reaching Final Fours and winning national championships. It’s in his blood. The infrastructure, fan base, tradition and other factors may not be in place at Arizona State…not yet at least.

So Hurley will likely use the ASU job as a stepping stone to a better program.

Of course, that all changes if he makes Arizona State an instant basketball powerhouse. Is it possible?

Sure. Is it likely? Probably not. But if Hurley can get the needle moving in the right direction, and leave the program in better shape than when he arrived, then it won’t be such a bitter pill to swallow when he departs in two to three years for a better program. After the failures of Bill Frieder, Rob Evans and Sendek before him, simply not sucking is a victory for all involved.

“This is the opportunity of a lifetime,” Hurley says. “We just have to take it to another level. We have to win Pac-12 championships; we have to go to Final Fours. That is what elevates the program to where it needs to be.”

Hurley is an East Coast guy where basketball is religion. So while he’s in Tempe now, you better believe he covets a coach’s office at a basketball powerhouse east of the Mississippi. In the meantime, let’s enjoy the wild ride that Hurley is about to take us on and thank him for making ASU basketball relevant.

Finally.

SPORTS LISTINGS Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres It was painful when former D-backs star Justin Upton’s eighth inning home run lifted the Padres to give the California team the win against Arizona last month. Luckily, Paul Goldschmidt and Co. have the chance to redeem themselves on home territory. Plus, there will be the Sonoran dog to munch on.

iring professionals to get jobs done around the house may be convenient, but it can set your budget back quite a bit. Instead, consider doing it yourself—not only to save big bucks but also to showcase your creativity. Do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvements are a major trend that will pay you back many times over.

A mind-healthy hobby DIYing is a hobby that many find relaxing, and can be good for the mind, body and soul. For an enjoyable diversion in your spare time, consider reinventing items around the house for a DIY project. Have an old dresser that could use a bit of TLC? Add a coat of paint in your favorite color and updated hardware to make it look brand new. The once impressive chair that your parents passed down may also be in need of a makeover—find a fabulous fabric that matches your design style and use it to reupholster the seat for a fresh look. These projects will not only look good, but will provide a great sense of accomplishment every time you look at them.

Save money By upcycling items instead of buying brand new, you can save hundreds and even thousands of dollars. In addition, perusing through thrift shops can reveal hidden houseware gems with high potential. Adding your special, creative touch to these items will make them one-of-kind.

Some home improvement tasks on your checklist may also be more feasi-

ble to DIY than you think. Those closet shelves you’ve been pondering or that patio flower garden you’ve dreamed of can come to fruition in just a weekend with a little research and the right supplies. However, for the more technical work such as plumbing, structural and electrical work, you may want to enlist a professional for the job.

Make money As social media has surged in popularity over the last 10 years, so have independent businesses. Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook all provide a platform for self-promotion and many DIYers have used this to their advantage to display their projects for sale.

In addition to selling via social media, many opt to sell on websites such as Etsy or eBay. These websites provide a win-win situation for both the consumer and the DIYer, as the buyer can often request custom items for special occasions typically unavailable at retail stores.

Plus, the seller is able to earn cash based solely on their crafting talents.

DIYers can also expand their business and increase profit by creating a blog with tutorials on how they completed certain projects.

It takes a lot of passion and patience, but if the website garners a sizable audience, bloggers can make a living from advertising and sponsorships on their site. Bloggers may also have the opportunity to partner with a corporation to use their product in various posts in exchange for compensation.

Student Voices Stretching out of the comfort zone

I

would love to tell you that I have grown to embrace change, and when I’m safely in my comfortable bubble of routine, I’m sure I do put on Breanne DeMore that air. But the College Times truth is, on the inside, I am still that terrified 18-year-old begging her parents not to drive away after college move-in day.

There are some changes that I take in stride and definitely some changes that I am begging for, but most often those are the changes I have put forth myself. In other words, those are the changes that I feel I am ready for.

“Ready” is a word that I have been ruminating a lot over the past month.

“How do I know I am ready?” “What if I’m not ready?” “Why does everyone else seem to think I am ready when I’m not sure that I am?”

Through my existential crisis I came to

realize two things that are very real. First of all, being “ready” is simply a state of mind and there are no set guidelines for when you are there. Secondly, changes very rarely happen when you are ready.

Everyone handles change differently, but whether you are preparing to spend your summer abroad, a senior looking down the barrel of the real world or even a transfer student preparing to leave what you know and jump into a new school, you have to admit that life changes aren’t easy and there are almost always growing pains.

A close family friend of mine once sent me an encouraging note during a time of change that said, “All muscles grow only when they are stretched and life is kind of like a big muscle.”

Since then I have seen big life changes as simply stretches for my “life muscle.”

Moving away from friends can hurt and may cause problems, but after time it’ll weed out the bad friendships and strengthen the bond that you have with the good ones.

Even really great, exciting changes, like studying abroad or getting a promotion, are scary when you’re staring them down. But eventually, you grow to

STUDENT VOICES Mind the

AGE GAP

The monthly battle royale between two stubborn people born 60 years apart

...with Old Fart and Young Punk

Debate: Should businesses be able to refuse service based on religious beliefs?

Dear Young Punk, Your generation is faced with issues never imagined back when First this Old Fart was young, Words: dashing and handsome (well, young, anyway).

During my last year in high school, America came to its senses and righted the wrong of segregation. The all-black high schools in my city were closed, and their students dispersed among the previously all-white schools. I don’t recall a single problem or incident when this occurred.

Along with the integration of the races in schools came the elimination of separate drinking fountains, the end of “back of the bus” seating for people of color, and the universal implementation of serving all people in restaurants and other establishments regardless of skin color.

Now the question of “To serve or not to serve,” is with us again, but in a much different context. We’ve heard the stories of the flower shop in Washington State that refused to provide flowers for a gay wedding, the bakery shop owners in Colorado and Oregon who would not make a wedding cake and pastries for a same-sex ceremony, and the Kentucky printing company that turned down a customer order for T-shirts promoting a gay pride parade.

In all of these instances, the business owners were Christians, expressing their opposition to being asked to essentially provide tacit approval of same-sex marriage, which would be contrary to their religious beliefs.

That was the case recently at Memories Pizza, a mom and pop restaurant in northern Indiana near South Bend. Owners Kevin and Crystal O’Connor were set up for an interview by a television reporter with a certain preconceived viewpoint in mind. Asked the hypothetical question if they would cater a same-sex wedding, the O’Connors innocently and honestly responded that they would decline to do so, believing that marriage is defined as a union of one man and one woman.

That’s when a firestorm erupted that spread across the country. Despite the fact that Memories never had a history of declining to serve a customer on the basis of sexual orientation, and made it clear they never would practice discrimination of any kind, much of the media made it seem that Memories Pizza was a hotbed of anti-gay behavior.

Lost in all the hyperbole and the ranting and threats was the distinction between the serving of individual customers at the restaurant and catering, which by definition is the preparation and serving of food and drink for a group of people at a particular event—such as a wedding reception. A caterer, therefore, becomes an integral and visible part of the reception, which is an extension of the wedding ceremony.

I see a business in much the same way I view a home. The owner has the right to invite or not invite whomever they wish on their premises. The exception, of course, as far as public accommodations are concerned, is the now settled matter of discrimination against race, color, gender, religion or national origin through the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Whether it is a restaurant in Indiana or a bakery in Oregon, the issue is not really about sexual orientation and business services. There are plenty of choices out there. If a same-sex couple can’t get their wedding cake from one place, they can surely get a cake elsewhere. What I am seeing is a concerted effort to challenge Christian-owned enterprises, at the heart of which is an anti-Christian campaign, some of it aimed at disabling or even destroying a business because it does not give its unequivocal support to the gay community and its causes.

No, I’m not saying that every homosexual person hates Christianity.

What I am saying is that Christian-based or not, a business isn’t some isolated entity devoid of human qualities. They have every right to choose how they operate their business, including their outlook toward customers.

This is called freedom.

Dear Old Fart, I completely agree that businesses have the right to operate however Rebuttal: they choose. But that doesn’t mean they’re free from scrutiny.

In the Memories Pizza case you mentioned, the business, of course, had every right to refuse service in that instance. But just because they invoked the First Amendment, it doesn’t mean someone else’s First Amendment rights to speak against them are forbidden.

One of the greatest things about our country is our right to free speech. And that free speech often lands people in hot water.

You cited growing up in a segregated America, and I think it’s so interesting to hear your perspective on these issues, having seen that first hand. When I was growing up, I never second-guessed a person of color being in my classes—kids are just open minded that way. It really goes to show how institutionalized racism was and how rapidly the American public changed their minds on the subject. In just two generations, racism became a less talked about problem until recent events. That’s a different column for a different day.

Now, you suggested that catering an event somehow endorses its existence.

And as much as it seems you don’t want to draw comparisons between racism and homophobia, they exist.

Just imagine a caterer refusing service to a mixed race couple, simply because they believe their religion tells them it’s what’s right. If someone were to do that in 2015, people would be irate.

Since gay rights are the latest civil rights discussion, I’d argue that it’s the same thing. Forty years ago people were against biracial marriage. Now biracial marriage is a given, but it’s perfectly OK to refuse service to gay people?

I acknowledge that the people

behind a business aren’t mindless drones making decisions without emotions. Behind them are nuanced people with varying backgrounds, who may agree or disagree with the situation at hand. That is their right.

But as the country becomes more and more accepting of gay marriage, they can’t play the victim when backlash comes their way.

But where do we draw the line with all of this? If it’s OK to refuse service to homosexuals, is it OK to refuse service to black people? To women? To people you just don’t like because of their face? Obviously there are civil rights laws in place for some of these, so why not the rest? I’m not sure why the laws should cover race but not sexuality.

I’m an agnostic. I’m not sure how I feel on the topic of God, and I lean atheist. If I didn’t disclose that information to Memories Pizza, would they cater my straight wedding?

Wouldn’t being there endorse the fact that two agnostics are entering into an institution “bound by God?” I’m not trying to victimize Christians here, or any other group for that matter. I just don’t believe it’s in their best interest, financially or religiously. I just need to know where we’re going to draw the line so I can know where an agnostic, straight, 20-something white woman is welcome in the community.

Fortunately for me, that answer is most places, but I can’t imagine what it’s like to be refused service for simply existing and trying to be happy with the partner of my choosing. I’m not sure when it’s ever a bad idea to celebrate love—gay, straight, biracial, whatever. But I know it’s a bad idea to put barriers between “tribes” of people.

And anyway, I’m pretty sure Jesus would have baked all sorts of gay pizzas. He preached love above all else.

What’s lovelier than a celebration of love in front of friends and family?

Game CoLab helps aspiring ASU video game developers get their work to the public Ainsley Despain • College Times

D

uring the last decade, technology has been rapidly developing in the video game world, and Arizona company Game CoLab is jumping on board. Operating as an “incubator” to develop video game creativity, the company aims to empower and unite video game developers in the Phoenix community.

Game CoLab has worked closely with ASU students in the past and acts as official partner of the ASU Video Game Development Club.

“We get a lot of interest from ASU students. We’ve had game jams at ASU that ended up either getting students hired afterward, or lead to other students applying for ASU,” says Ben Reichert, Game CoLab co-founder and CEO. Reichert says game jams are a popular event where teams get together and create a prototype for a video game in 48 hours, usually created around a theme to guide creativity.

“One we did last year called ‘Phoenix Makes Games Jam’ was sponsored by a grant from the Arizona Commission of the Arts and the theme was dinosaurs,” Reichert says. “This last year’s Global Game Jam theme was ‘What do we do now?’ which was cool. We also did an Educational Game Hack-a-Thon last year with our partner, Pearson Digital Education.”

Reichert says there is so much more to video games than people realize. It goes

beyond the art and coding to branch out to marketing, business management and learning how to make a profit.

“That’s what we want to teach. We want to foster smart and sustainable video game makers and digital media creatives—we’re in this for the long haul.

A lot of what we do is also to highlight what is being done and showcase it to as many people as possible,” Reichert says.

Game CoLab is also setting up ways for students and contract workers to receive equity stake in future products and get a percentage of the revenue from the games.

“We’re offering students work on real world projects that will help their portfolios and provide chances of being picked up by a studio,” Reichert says. “All of these games created will be released and have a strong IP to back up their marketing. We’re offering students positions on the teams, and in some cases, the opportunity to pitch their own idea and get their names in the credits of these titles.”

Game CoLab also has access to licensed properties through a new partnership with WePlay.Media, with its properties including MotoGP, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Bubblewrap Films.

Aspiring gamers can use the Game CoLab for $350 per month or participate in incubator classes starting in a few months.

Wilkes University offers small-town college experience in the big city Ainsley Despain • College Times

C

ollege isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. In fact, only 65 percent of high school students who graduated in 2014 went to college, according to The New York Times. Few students who already have their college education underway know there is another “style” of college available nearby in Mesa.

Wilkes University has taught students in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for more than 80 years. Now, the university is available in Arizona with Wilkes University Mesa.

“The type of education you get at Wilkes University—the one-on-one, personalized education where you get to know your professors and they know you—is new to this area,” says Ryan Hess, admissions counselor at Wilkes University Mesa. “The fact that we’re a nonprofit private school removes that question of what our priority is—it’s the success of our students. The only way we can gauge our success is by their success.”

This personalized education is facilitated by smaller class sizes; typically 10 to12 students attend each class.

“When students miss class they don’t walk by my office because they know I’ll ask where they were, which they honestly appreciate,” says Dr. Marianne Rexer, primary faculty and adviser at Wilkes in Mesa. “We’re all about getting to know our students. We always end up very proud of the professionals that walk out of our doors.”

Each student visits with Rexer a few times

a semester to review resumes, conduct mock interviews and research possible internships.

On the Wilkes homepage you can search your current school to see the listed courses that transfer to Wilkes University but most students choose to meet in person.

If students prefer a more personal, hands-on approach to a transfer evaluation they can visit with Hess on campus and he will go through which specific courses transfer to Wilkes based on their transcript and desired major.

“I sit down with them and I tell them exactly which classes will transfer. The only way we can gain the trust of the students, their parents, and even the community, is by being as transparent as possible,” Hess says.

“When students come to check out campus I suggest they bring their parents along so they can feel at-ease knowing what kind of education their child is getting.”

A variety of scholarships are offered to students transferring to Wilkes. You can earn your degree for as little as $1,100 per semester if you qualify for the Federal Pell Grant.

Available majors include accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, management, marketing, and sports and event management.

Contact the admissions counselor, Ryan Hess, to set up a personal transfer evaluation at 480.878.4407 or ryan. hess@wilkes.edu.

Benedictine University roots itself in Catholic traditions Ainsley Despain • College Times

A

s part of an initiative to bring higher education to Downtown Mesa, Benedictine University at Mesa opened in 2012.

This month Benedictine University in Mesa will hold its inaugural commencement ceremony on May 16, where a dozen transfer students will walk across the stage.

“This is a historic moment, not just for the graduates but for the school as well,” says Elliott Peppers, associate director of media relations at Benedictine University.

“The City of Mesa selected Benedictine University to be its first choice for bringing higher education to the area after a national search looking at institutions with long histories of liberal arts education with strong values.”

Founded in 1887 by the Benedictine monks of St. Procopius Abbey in Illinois, Benedictine University has a long history of liberal arts education and has remained dedicated to that history, which includes ensuring their students have a well-rounded school experience, including sports teams.

After applying last fall to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Peppers says that they underwent five months of visits, reviews and applications before Benedictine University at Mesa was accepted. The NAIA is dedicated to character-driven intercollegiate athletics, which Benedictine University at

Mesa had to prove was inherently part of their culture. “[Strong character] is definitely one of our core values, along with serving others and living life in balance. We encourage students to maintain a healthy balance between physical, mental and spiritual sides of life,” says Peppers.

Peppers says they have some strong athletic candidates coming in who also fit the university’s core values, which include a commitment to community service. She says, “It’s part of being Catholic and Benedictine—in your search for truth and God you want to respect others and help maintain the earth.”

Benedictine University at Mesa is the first Catholic University in Arizona. While Benedictine is a private, Roman Catholic institution, students are not required to be Catholic.

“There’s obviously a code of conduct but as far as religion, we welcome believers of all faiths and [as well as] nonbelievers. One of our values is welcoming others,” Peppers says.

For more information about Benedictine University at Mesa or to schedule a campus tour, contact them at mesa@ben.edu or 602.888.5533. The University is currently accepting applications for fall 2015 enrollment.

Get canned at the AmeriCAN Canned Craft Beer Festival Christina Caldwell • College Times

C

anned beer has a bad reputation, and it’s easy to see why. It reminds us of barley-tinged swill used in beer pong, but you know there’s better.

We all know better.

Over the last half-decade, canned beer has been shedding its bad rep, nixing the Natty Light image and embracing its places in the craft beer sun—literally and figuratively. AmeriCAN Canned Beer Festival ends before the sun goes down, plus canned beer is said to stay fresher longer than its bottled competitors, and this festival on Saturday, May 16 at Scottsdale Civic Center is out to prove it.

More than 250 local, regional and national beers will be at the forefront of this sudsy fest, with visitors selecting 20 four-ounce pours from the varied lineup of IPAs, ales, hefeweizens, sours and more. (Seriously, 20 pours! Make sure you have your DD scheduled or Uber on your phone, because odds are with some high gravity beers on the list, you’re going to need it!) Locals like Four Peaks, SanTan, Sleepy Dog and Grand Canyon Brewing will pour brews alongside national favorites like Mudshark, Samuel Adams, Epic and Leinenkugel for a hoppy good time.

Like your beer fests to have a bit of competition? Watch as more than 30 craft beer judges take on a lineup of nine categories of beer, from stouts to wheats,

20

MAY 7, 2015 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

to judge the best of the best in the canned beer category at the AmeriCAN Canned Craft Beer Championship.

Bronze, silver and gold medals will be awarded for each category, so stick around to see the winners and then choose that brew as your next pour.

If you get the munchies, stop by the food area for a snack, or if you’re feeling the need to can your own homebrew, the mobile canned and brewing demonstration is a new addition to this year’s fest.

Just try to contain all of that beer awesomeness. Heck, these guys manage to do it for a living.

Other seminars include beer science talks from the beer gods, like SanTan’s Anthony Canecchia, Oskar Blue’s Chad Melis and Arizona Craft Brewers Guild’s Rob Fullmer. Admission of $10 will get you all the beer knowledge your thirsty tummy desires.

And be prepared to drink up for a good cause, because a portion of proceeds benefit the Scottsdale Cultural Council and the Arizona Society of Homebrewers. Cheers to that! Tickets are on sale online now, so head to cannedcraftbeerfest.com to snag yours.

The Great Con!

Phoenix Comicon is bigger and better than ever Jasmine Kemper • College Times

G

rab your swords and spandex and head to Downtown Phoenix for the annual Phoenix Comicon.

Since 2003, this multi-faceted entertainment convention has been inviting geeks and nerds from all over to spend a weekend going to celebrity panel discussions, comic book workshops, meeting their favorite pop culture icons and partying the night away with geek-themed parties.

This year, Comicon is being held on Thursday, May 28, through, Sunday, May 31 at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Due to its rapid growth over the years (there were over 77,000 people in attendance last year!) the Con will be taking over additional venues such as the Hyatt Regency, Sheraton and Renaissance Hotel. Membership badges available for purchase range from a single day to all four days for those who want the ultimate experience.

Comicon is well-known for its special guests that take part in panel discussions, photo ops and autographs for your enjoyment. Keep your eyes peeled for stars of your favorites from films and TV, as well as authors of comics and books. This year includes married couple Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof from “How I Met Your Mother,” Christopher Lloyd from “Back to the Future,” Jason Isaacs from the “Harry Potter” films, Jason Momoa from “Game of Thrones,” and many more!

If you get tired of panels and workshops, there is a space for exhibitors to

showcase their work. You can purchase collectibles, costumes, clothing, comic books, fan memorabilia and connect with people who are interested in the same things as you. The exhibitor hall is heaven on earth for collectors who want to nerd out on some of their favorite geeky things.

Other events at the convention include special programming such as the “Silhouettes of History Fashion Showcase”, the “Steampunk Homecoming Ball” and the “Talk Nerdy to Me: A Byte of Burlesque” show. These events give guests a chance to party in style the Comicon way!

If you’re more interested in the educational aspect of the geek culture, there are a ton of workshops available that will teach you a thing or two. These include learning things like creating your next cosplay, feeling body positive in your costume, how to be a freelance videographer and even learn to play some quidditch!

This convention caters to all audiences and just because you’re not the ultimate geek doesn’t mean you won’t find something to do. Every genre of the nerd universe is showcased to ensure that anyone attending can find a topic they are interested in, and maybe even find something interestingly geeky along the way!

Costume your con at the last minute

Jasmine Kemper • College Times

T

he Phoenix Comicon is a weekendlong pop culture convention created with nerds in mind. Some people spend months on end putting together a costume in preparation for the big day. Then there are the procrastinators (like us) who just realized while reading this article that they only have a few weeks to craft up something Comicon-worthy.

Have no fear! Last-minute costume ideas are here! Whether you are a cosplay professional or heading to the event for the first time, you’ll soon realize that dressing up is part of the experience. If purchasing an expensive costume isn’t part of your budget, here are some easy, last-minute costume ideas that are sure to bring out your inner geek without breaking the bank.

Costume: Modern Superhero How to do it: Everyone loves superheroes, but a cape, spandex and superpowers are hard to come by at the last minute. For a modern twist on the classic hero, head down to your local clothing store and pick up a superhero logo T-shirt, jeans and accessories of your choice for a toned done version of

26

MAY 7, 2015 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

any of your favorites. A “Superman” T-shirt would be perfect underneath a slightly unbuttoned white top to hide his true identity. Slip on some black-framed glasses and you’ll be unrecognizable by your average citizen—until evil strikes, that is.

Costume: Implied Disney Princess How do to it: While fairy tales depict princesses dressed in beautiful ball gowns, wearing layers of clothing in 100 degree weather is unbearable. Ladies, you don’t have to suffer for beauty with these versions of your favorite princesses. Flowy dresses, tank tops and shorts can easily be made into the perfect costume. Pick colors and props associated with your princess and go wild with your interpretation. You probably already have enough clothes in your closet to create the ultimate look. For a quick Snow White, find a blue top, yellow skirt and red cardigan for an implied version of her dress.

A red ribbon can be tied in your hair as an extra accessory. If you want to be even more accurate, you can carry around an apple all day until you get hungry.

Costume: A Play on Pop Art How to do it: If you can’t narrow down

your favorite character, why not dress like you just walked out of a comic book? For this costume, all you’ll really need is makeup and a lot of patience. Find your favorite style to replicate and get to painting. This look is full of thick outlines, animated colors and repeated dots. Essential basics include white or red face paint, eyeliner, mascara, bright eye shadows and a vibrant lipstick. Simply outline your face with the eyeliner and place multiple dots all around with the face paint.

Add a pop of color with the eye shadow on your lids and finish the look off with the lipstick. For an extra personality touch, take some of the eye shadow and give your character a tear or “POW” sign.

Costume: Mario and Luigi How to do it: This dynamic duo has been helping video game nerds all over the world save princesses, defeat gorillas and eat magical mushrooms for over 30 years. What better way to repay them for the fun than by dressing up as them? This costume can be made faster than you can say, “Mamma Mia!” If you’re going with a friend or significant other, this is especially one of the best (and easiest) couple’s costumes out there. All you need is a red and green shirt, overalls,

red and green hats, gloves and, of course, the mustaches (real or fake).

Costume: Where’s Waldo?

How to do it: You might remember spending countless hours as a kid flipping through pages trying to find that man wearing the red and white striped shirt in a sea of people. Now, you can be Waldo in real life at a convention of over 77,000 people!

All you need is the iconic striped shirt, a red and white hat, jeans and black round glasses. While the costume may be simple, it will probably stand out the most, especially when you hear someone yell, “I found him!”

Costume: The Boy Who Lived How to do it: While they’ll be plenty of wizards and witches at the convention, the most famous one has to be Harry Potter. Luckily, his look isn’t hard to copy. You’re going to need a black robe, a scarlet and gold tie and thin round glasses. Don’t forget to paint on Harry’s forehead scar to keep it authentic.

Props to go along with this costume could be a stuffed owl, a broom and even your own magic wand to defeat the Dark Lord.

DRESS for the job you want Hayli Metter and Breanne DeMore • College Times

F

or those graduating college, it’s time to enter the terrifying land you’ve been warned about for the last four years—the real world. With getting a job comes going through interviews, and we can guarantee your sweats and yoga pants won’t do when meeting your potential new employer.

But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered for dressing the part to get the job. After all, every place of employment is different.

You wouldn’t dress the same when applying for a job at lululemon as you would for a job at a law firm. Whether your potential career is on either end of the spectrum, you’re going to need to look the part. Here are some tips for interview attire, depending on the field you’re applying.

Creative In general, creative industries will have a more relaxed and casual dress code but you should still look smart, clean and be covered. Even if you know that the employees wear jeans or sundresses to work, you should still dress one step higher to impress. Guys, iron your button-down, tuck it in and throw on a simple tie, but go ahead and keep the pants more casual.

Well-fitting jeans or khakis will look sharp and professional with a nice belt and shoes. Ladies, pull a blazer on over a dress or wear a more casual shirt with a nice

skirt. If you’re comfortable in heels, go for it, but they certainly aren’t mandatory.

Interviewing for a creative position is also an opportunity to show your creative side, so feel free to express yourself with your clothes. However, make sure you still look appropriate. Just think about what your grandmother would say about your outfit.

Corporate If you’re interviewing for a corporate position, it’s safe to go with the traditional style of professional. For men, whip out your best pair of black slacks, a crisp button down shirt and a simple tie. Dress shoes and a matching belt should be worn and if you’re more comfortable with a suit jacket, it’s always best to dress up. For women, simple pumps with a heel between one and three inches are ideal, with either a nice dress or even slacks and a blouse. The key to not looking like a little kid in dress-up is making sure everything is tailored very well and fits you properly. This extra step, and cash, will go a long way. The more comfortable you feel in the clothes, the more confident and prepared for the position you’ll appear.

Casual It’s always important to keep the company in mind when you’re dressing for an interview but especially if you anticipate the environment is more casual. Knowledge of the company is an invaluable tool when walking into an interview and if the inter-

viewer sees that you understand their more relaxed atmosphere, they’ll be more likely to think you’re a great fit for the company.

However, the adage “dress to impress” still rings true. Make sure that you’re polished and put together—everything is tailored to fit your body type. Guys, that means a tucked-in, button-down shirt, though you might be able to roll the sleeves. Ladies, avoid strapless and spaghetti strapped tops and keep the skirts or dresses of a modest length. Most important, make sure that you’re comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing.

Tech-based With start-ups popping up everywhere you look, it’s easy to assume that all tech-based companies have a casual, stylish work atmosphere. However, not every technology company runs like the guys on “Silicon Valley.” Some of the more established, larger companies have a more traditional idea of work attire. Do your research about the history, size and mission of the company and use discretion. Also remember that while you want to stand out in the interviewer’s mind, you don’t want to seem outlandish or attention-seeking. Feel free to go a bit more casual with start-up interviews.

Guys, go ahead and skip the tie and jacket, and ladies, you can keep your formal business suit in the closet for this interview. For the more established companies though, guys will want to wear a tie and ladies should wear their business heels.

apper Juicy J is known for his partying, but the frequent collaborator didn’t get to where he is thanks to women and marijuana.

The Oscar winner and Grammy nominee wants the public to understand that about him.

“I actually pay my taxes, handle my business and take care of my momma,” says Juicy J, who is known to his family as Jordan Michael Houston.

“I’m a businessman. I do handle business. I know where my money is.

I calculate. I know how to add. I know how to read. I know my contracts.”

The Three 6 Mafia member is hoping that fans learn this through his forthcoming album THC: The Hustle Continues. It follows his Grammynominated performance with Katy Perry on “Dark Horse,” and Three 6 Mafia’s Academy Award-winning track “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” from the film “Hustle & Flow”.

“If you listen to my album, there’s

MAY 7, 2015 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

some trippy stuff on there,” he says. “I’m definitely having the time of my life. I’m not going to lie.

“I won an Academy Award. I made lots of money. Why not enjoy myself?

Anybody who [has] made money and been in the business as long as I have would be on a yacht somewhere or taking a trip to Florida and turning up in a bar somewhere.”

He said although that may be true, the next day he’s handling business, checking on his mother and family, and paying bills.

“I feel like there’s more important things in life” than partying, adds Juicy J, who performs at Livewire in Scottsdale on Thursday, May 21.

However, Juicy J is hustling to let people know about his new album, which he calls his best work to date.

“It’s an album about what’s personally going on with Juicy J,” he says. “It’s like just talking about what I’m going through right now and what it took for me to get to where I am today.

People will definitely enjoy this album.

It’ll make you feel good, but it’ll educate you, too. The hustle continues.”

Juicy J couldn’t say too much about the album, but it’s safe to say there will be stellar collaborations on it. His work isn’t limited to pairing with Perry. He’s also teamed with Usher, Miley Cyrus, Ne-Yo and Nicki Minaj, to list a few.

“They’re all great musicians and put out great music,” Juicy J says. “I’m not going to turn that down. I like to have the opportunity to work with good people. I get a lot of stuff that comes across my table, but I go with what I feel.”

His intuition was right about Perry’s “Dark Horse.”

“When I first heard it, I thought, ‘This is going to be huge,’” he says. “I couldn’t believe she really wanted me on it.”

As for his own music, he has a rather unorthodox way of writing.

“I write most of my songs in the bathroom,” Juicy J says with a laugh. “I don’t know why. When I’m in the studio and I can’t come up with something, I

say, ‘Let me go to the bathroom.’

“I think it’s because I’m not in the studio. I’m not around anybody. My mind is clear.”

Whatever the reason, it works out well for him. Unlike other artists who dismiss award nominations and wins, Juicy J says the Grammy nod they received for “Dark Horse” was a winner in his book.

“It was very important, very important,” he says about the Grammy nomination. “I’ve been doing this for so long. I won an Academy Award, but I never got nominated for a Grammy.

That’s definitely a huge blessing for me, and definitely a come up. Some people burn out, but I haven’t burnt out yet. I’m still hot and energetic. I love it all and what I’m doing.”

Family of the Year is much more rock than folk Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times

F

amily of the Year found gold in the simple, acoustic ballad “Hero,” which resonated with listeners after the 2010 song was placed in last year’s hit movie “Boyhood.”

But, guitarist-vocalist James Buckey said, fans who have only heard that Family of the Year song have the wrong impression of the band.

“When we start playing a rock song, they’re like, ‘Oh wow,’” Buckey says. “It’s not over the top. It’s not like we’re a metal band. At the same time, though, people seem to be more excited at the end of the shows.”

“Hero” debuted on Family of the Year’s 2010 EP Through the Trees in a shorter form, but was resurrected for 2012’s full-length album Loma Vista.

“The album came out in 2012,” he says. “We’ve played that song to four people at a dive club somewhere, but we also played to a couple thousand people singing along to us. It’s really awesome.

You couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Buckey is hoping for the same success—if not greater—with the band’s new album that is slated for release “sometime in September.”

“We’re really happy with it,” he says.

“It’s funny how long these things take.

Loma Vista was released in the summer of 2012. We toured that album for a year and a half in the states [and] another year in Europe, which is where we recorded this record.

“We recorded it in Berlin in between tours and whatnot. It’s more cohesive, if you will. It definitely sounds like an old school album. There aren’t singles and then album tracks. We all feel that they could all be singles at some point. It’s

really more mature, a little darker and a little more rockin’. We had a lot of success with ‘Hero’ and that was great.

But people think of us as a folk band and then they see us at our shows and go, ‘Whoa, you’re a rock band.’ Yeah, we are.’”

Family of the Year is returning to the area Wednesday, May 13, to open for Lord Huron at the Marquee. That’s a tour that Buckey is excited about.

“We are so psyched about it,” he says.

“When we come through Tempe in a few weeks with Lord Huron, we’ll probably play about 60 percent new stuff and 40 percent older material.

“Going back to how long we’ve been playing, it’s nice to be able to play some new stuff for our benefit and see how it works out.”

But Buckey isn’t concerned about his band’s new songs landing on YouTube.

The record company is tasked with keeping tabs on that.

“When we were in Europe last year, we were playing some of the new stuff live,” he says. “One of the songs was played on ‘Girls’ and people who were searching for it found some of the live slips on YouTube.

“Our record company saw it and said, ‘Oh yeah? Nope.’ They took it all down.

As a band, you want people to listen to you, but as a business you have to be somewhat wise. We leave that to the label people.”

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) A seemingly stalled romantic situation could benefit from your reassurance that you want this relationship to work. And if you do, use a tad more of that irresistible Aries charm.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Travel and career are strong in your aspect.

Perhaps your job will take you to someplace exotic.

Or you might be setting up meetings with potential clients or employers. Whatever it is, good luck.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Going to new places and meeting new people appeals to both the Taurean’s romantic and practical sides. After all, you never can tell where those new contacts can take you. Right?

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Someone might use deception to try to push you into making a decision you’re not fully comfortable with. But those keen Scorpio senses should keep you alert to any such attempt.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That career-change opportunity that didn’t work out when you first considered it could come up again. But this time, remember that you have more to offer and should act accordingly.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Romance dominates this week when Cupid spears the Archer, for a change. Positive things also are happening in the workplace. Expect important news to arrive by the week’s end.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There could be some tensions in relationships -- domestic or workaday. But a calm approach that doesn’t raise the anger levels and a frank discussion soon will resolve the problem.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Anyone trying to bully the Sea Goat -- whether it involves a personal or a professional matter -- will learn a painful lesson. Others also will benefit from the Goat’s strong example.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good idea to begin preparing for that career change you’ve been thinking about for a while.

Start to sharpen your skills and expand your background to be ready when it calls.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Congratulations. With things going the way they are, you should be able to spare some time and take a break from your hectic schedule for some well-earned fun and games.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Bless that Virgo skepticism that has kept you from falling into traps others seem to rush into. But you might want to give a new possibility the benefit of the doubt, at least on a trial basis.

PISCES (February 19 to March 21) Your sharp Piscean intuition should be able to uncover the true agendas of those who might be trying to catch the Fish in one of their schemes.
