Scholarship winner aims for stars at Cambridge 14-year-old

By Russell Nay S T A F F

Michael Calzadilla won the Gates Cambridge International Scholarship and is going to England for a master’s degree in astrophysics.

SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE/USF NEWS

W R I T E R

While there were many USF applicants before him, Michael Calzadilla is the first student from a Florida university to win the Gates Cambridge International Scholarship and one of 40 annually selected in the U.S. The Gates Cambridge International Scholarship, sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, funds graduate work and study abroad programs at the University of Cambridge in England.

Scholarship winners are both academically exceptional and have the potential to make a large impact in their field of study.

Calzadilla, a senior double majoring in math and physics with a minor in astronomy, holds a 3.98 GPA and is a part of the USF Honors College. He will study astrophysics at Cambridge.

“Many great minds have walked along the steps of Cambridge, and

I’m excited to walk where they have walked,” he said.

The first in his family to attend college, Calzadilla was not always bound for a successful future in higher education — even attending college was an uncertainty.

“Out of high school, there was a certain pressure to help out at home and get a job, so coming to college wasn’t a popular idea,” he said. “I had to find a lot of mentors because this is uncharted territory being the first one in my family to go to college.”

Calzadilla learned of the Gates Cambridge scholarship his freshman year after visiting USF’s Office of National Scholarships.

At the time, Calzadilla said the Gates Cambridge scholarship was a long-term aspiration, and he would need other scholarships before applying for it.

“They always said to me, ‘Nobody’s ever won (the Gates Cambridge); we’ve never even gotten an interview before at this

USF electric car owners get a boost

By Brandon Shaik A S S T .

E D I T O R

Electric vehicle owners on the USF St. Petersburg campus will soon charge their cars in half the time of sitting through a normal class. Tampa students, however, may still wait longer for a full charge.

The Tampa Bay area is receiving seven new fast-charging stations that are capable of fully charging a vehicle in 30 minutes.

One charging station is expected on the USF St. Petersburg (USFSP) campus next month.

The Nissan Quick Chargers are designed for short-term, fast charging, and are compatible with the Nissan Leaf, Tesla S and Kia Soul, as well as Volkswagen and BMW electric vehicle models.

The machine costs $30,000 to manufacture and $5,750 to install.

Customers of the public stations will pay 30 cents per kilowatt used, or roughly $9 for every 100 miles of driving for the Nissan Leaf.

“The new charging stations are free and open to the public, however the vehicles must be moved once fully charged as signage indicates,” said Jennifer Winter, the USFSP sustainability coordinator.

USFSP’s charging station was donated by Nissan and Duke Energy. Duke and the USFSP College of Engineering will monitor them to further their sustainability research.

“These level-three stations are the equivalent of our modern-day gas stations. It allows you to go park, charge and go where you want in a reasonable amount of time,” said USF senior John Pilz. “The charging stations at (USF Tampa) are designed for commuter students who are

expected to be on campus for four hours.”

In 2010, USF president Judy Genshaft signed the university’s Climate Action Plan, which included a set of goals designed to eliminate the university’s greenhouse gas emissions.

“This project that they are undertaking at USFSP was a long way toward making it more viable for students to have an electric car and in addition contributing to the school’s goal of eliminating greenhouse gas emissions,” Pilz said.

Last semester, Pilz submitted a proposal to the Student Green Energy Fund to gain funding for the installation of additional electric vehicle charging stations on USF’s Tampa campus.

Currently, there are two charging stations available for the 27 registered electric vehicles on the Tampa campus.

It takes them roughly four

hours to fully charge an electric car. According to readout from the charging stations during last year’s spring semester, the stations were used at practically any given moment during the school day.

Pilz’s proposal was approved last semester and the charging station installation will be funded by the Student Green Energy Fund.

Four additional charging stations will be installed on the Tampa campus within the next month. Though newer models, they are not the model able to charge cars in 30 minutes. They are, however, estimated to triple the current charging capacity.

“Every little thing we do for sustainability is encouraging sustainable alternatives for transportation,” Winter said. “(It’s) increasing our rating as an environmentally sustainable institution.”

suspected of attempted robbery

E D I T O R

A 14-year-old male suspect was arrested under the suspicion of threatening to rob two students.

The students were walking near the intersection of USF Holly Drive and Maple Drive on Monday night when the suspect approached them.

The students claimed the suspect demanded the bicycle they were walking with.

The suspect implied he was armed, asking if the students “wanted to get shot,” according to the victims. The suspect did not show a gun, nor was any weapon later found by University Police (UP).

The two students reported shouting at the suspect to leave the area, and the suspect fled on foot. UP officers arrived on the scene a few minutes later.

A person matching the suspect’s description was soon located in a nearby parking lot next to the Argos Center.

When police confronted the person, he fled and an officer pursued on foot through the residence halls.

Though the officers lost sight of the suspect, he was eventually caught near the intersection of USF Maple Drive and USF Dogwood Drive.

UP took the suspect into custody, removed him from USF and dropped him off at a juvenile assessment center

Students host weekend solar energy fair

By Wesley Higgins N E W S

E D I T O R

Though solar energy has been around for decades, only in recent years have governments and businesses started to catch on as the technology continues to advance.

Students and the Tampa community can see what the buzz is about Saturday morning at the Solar Energy Fair held at the USF College of Engineering.

Organized by USF’s chapter of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES), the event aims to showcase and explain the current state of the solar industry, as well as the laws affecting it.

Guest speakers, such as USF researchers and local politicians, will hold talks and panels throughout the day to discuss economics, future possibilities and how to get politically active.

Guests will be able to visit the FLeX House, a model of an ener-

gy-neutral home built on campus, and watch electric cars and motorcycle displays.

A number of vendors will be present, selling contracts to install solar technology into residential homes. The vendors advertise that solar systems pay for itself when considering money saved, whether from the electric bill or from tax rebates.

ISES Vice President Ashley MacMeeken said people should attend the event to learn how solar technology has evolved.

“Solar is nothing new — it has been around since the 70s,” she said. “People have these old ideas that solar is not efficient or not affordable, but so much has changed. It’s more efficient now, it is more affordable and we want people to be aware of this.”

Registration starts at 9 a.m. and the event begins at 10 a.m. Tickets are free and the event is open to the public. There will also be free lunch and giveaways.

for processing.

The suspect is charged with attempted robbery and nonviolent resistance of arrest. UP is investigating whether the suspect is connected with the theft of a bicycle from a bike rack earlier that day.

UP Assistant Chief Chris Daniel said students should remain aware of their surroundings and call 911 if they feel there is a threat.

To ensure safety, Daniel also said students should comply if ever threatened with a weapon.

school.’ The chances, I thought, were pretty low,” he said. “It always seemed like something very far off.”

Calzadilla did end up winning other scholarships however, becoming a 2014 recipient of the Barry M. Goldwater scholarship, a prestigious undergraduate scholarships for science research.

The Gates Cambridge scholarship is even more difficult to win. Only a limited number of scholarships are awarded and students need to first be accepted to Cambridge. The scholarship is aimed at students who have strong leadership qualities, can make an impact in their field and can improve the lives of others.

To have a chance of winning the scholarship, he needed to build up his application throughout his time at USF. Calzadilla completed research in astrophysics and astronomy at MIT and Harvard, received funding from USF to build an astronomy telescope on campus and revived student involvement in Sigma Pi Sigma, one of USF’s major physics clubs.

T H E O R AC L E

The project to build an astronomy telescope on campus is still in its beginning stages, and he said he was inspired by his experience at MIT to come up with the idea.

Calzadilla said the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Eric Eisenberg, liked the idea of an astronomy program and was happy to allocate $10,000 to build the telescope.

“The purpose of the telescope is to cap off my astronomy education to show what I’ve learned,” Calzadilla said. “Also so other students in the future don’t have to go off campus to do astronomy research.”

Calzadilla said his interest in math, physics and astronomy began when he was young and in awe of space documentaries. He also said the ability of critical thinking in humans is a gift and that it is our duty to learn more about the functions of space.

“It’s the language of the universe. It’s just really beautiful to see the laws of nature being condensed into one or two equations,” he said. “We have this gift of critical thinking, and we can use it to figure something out about the universe itself.”

Calzadilla’s academic track is rigorous, and he said that he stud-

ies about six to eight hours a day on average and about 18 hours a day before exams.

Though he still enjoys a number of hobbies such as playing violin, boxing, running and traveling, Calzadilla said his alternate dream job would be to become a concert violinist.

“I would see these performances online on YouTube or go to the Florida Orchestra and see these great performances,” he said. “I would see these people being the best at what they do. Getting the full potential that you can get out of this instrument, the virtuosity, the technicality of some of these pieces is what I want to strive for.”

Calzadilla said he will attend Cambridge in October, where he will obtain his one-year master’s degree, before returning to the U.S. to earn a doctorate in astrophysics.

In the future, he said he would like to become a professor in astrophysics and get involved with public outreach programs to promote scientific learning.

“I would like to be able to do what public figures like Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson did for me when I was younger,” he said. “Too many Einsteins lived a life doing things in which their best abilities weren’t put to use.”

Author, neuroscientist to lecture at Straz Center

By Ariana Matos L I F E S T Y L E

E D I T O R

New York Times best-selling author and Renaissance man Professor Daniel J. Levitin will be giving a free lecture at Ferguson Hall in the Straz Center for the Performing Arts tonight at 7.

As part of the Frontier Forum lecture series hosted

by USF’s College of Arts and Sciences, Levitin will discuss his heavily lauded book, “This is Your Brain on Music.”

The book has been praised for being one of the more charming pieces of popular

science literature pertaining to cognitive psychology and neuroscience — fields that Levitin, a rock musician and doctor of neuroscience, has plenty of experience in.

Published in 2006, “On Music” describes in thorough yet engaging terms the basics of music theory such as timbre, rhythm, pitch and harmony. Outlining in plain detail the elements of a song that make it indescribably catchy or moving, giving the reader the tools to actually describe that thing “you just can’t put your finger on.”

From there, Levitin connects the elements of sound to the way the brain func-

tions, why people have a favorite song, why certain genres of music ‘stick’ and even the process of musical evolution.

The book challenges another theory developed by fellow cognitive scientist, Steven Pinker. Pinker’s idea of “auditory cheesecake” describes the assertion that music was a secondary development of evolution, whereas Levitin asserts that music served a much more important purpose.

Levitin muses that music’s positive health effects indicate its use as an evolutionarily advantageous force leading to social bonding

and increased fitness, ideas shared by Charles Darwin and Geoffrey Miller.

“This is Your Brain on Music” has been praised by such artists as the Talking Heads’ David Byrne, record producer George Martin, Yoko Ono, prolific drummer Neil Peart and The Who’s Pete Townshend, among others.

Not only was the book a best seller, but it was also picked up by Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley and the California Institute of Technology phys- Rock musician turned neuroscientist ics department as a textbook.

Six ways music affects your brain

By Ariana Matos L I F E S T Y L E

E D I T O R

The effect music has on the brain has fascinated scientists for decades and is closely tied with neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Science has shown that music does some pretty weird and sometimes awesome things to the brain.

1. Classical music improves visual attention Contrary to popular belief, classical music does not make people smarter, but according to an article in the Journal of Occupational Therapy, it can help people focus. It even

helped stroke patients recover quicker.

2. When listening to happy- or sad-sounding music, we perceive neutral faces differently According to ScienceDirect. com, after hearing a short piece of music, participants were more likely to interpret a neutral expression as happy or sad, matching the tone of the music they heard. This also happened with other facial expressions, but was most notable for those that were close to neutral.

3. Music can significantly distract us while driving

In a study done by Brodsky & Slor, drivers were tested while listening to their own choice of music, silence or “safe” music choices provided by the researchers. Their own music was preferred, but it also proved to be more distracting — drivers made more mistakes and drove more aggressively when listening to their own choice of music.

4. Music tastes predict aspects of our personality This has only been tested on young adults, but according to a study on PubMed. gov, couples who spent time getting to know each other and looking at each other’s

top 10 favorite songs actually provided reliable predictions of the listener’s personality traits. For example, jazz fans were noted as being creative, outgoing and having high self-esteem, whereas rock lovers had low self-esteem, and were gentle and creative rather than hard working.

5. Playing music significantly improves motor and reasoning skills One study found that while these results were correlational only, “instrumental music training may enhance auditory discrimination, fine motor skills, vocabulary, and nonverbal reasoning.” In other

words, the longer a person studies an instrument, the easier it is for them to learn new languages and their cognitive function is improved.

6. Music improves our exercise results This will come as no surprise to those gym rats out there. A study done in Scientific American found that listening to music competes for our brain’s attention while exercising and can help us to override signals of fatigue. A study showed that cyclists who listened to music required 7 percent less oxygen to do the same work as those who cycled in silence.

Focus on wellness, not weight However, even in a country where the rate of eating disorders has risen since 1950, as a survey published in Biological Psychiatry found, obsessing over weight does not have to be the only option.

Although weight can be a useful predictor of lifespan and some diseases, there are ways to build healthier lifestyles. If schools focus on exercise, nutrition and wellness, lower weight should follow. The country, though, often subscribes to weight loss as the most apparent sign of “health,” even when size does not necessarily indicate wellness.

Schools can take a new approach that appeals to total wellness. Helping children deal with stress, anxiety and selfesteem issues early on should help curb the development of eating disorders, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.

Teaching children and adults to love and respect their bodies, rather than punish and shame themselves, can naturally lead to a healthier body image. Teaching people about food groups is fine, but it is more important to teach them how to love themselves, and the rest will follow.

Chelsea Mulligan is a freshman majoring in international studies.

People always seem to be comparing each other, whether academically, socially or otherwise, and college students not only count Facebook friends and followers, but also calculate GPAs and measure calories.

The body mass index (BMI) is another way to see if people measure up. It is a deeply flawed way of measuring the ratio of weight to height in order to determine if an individual’s weight is healthy.

Despite its flaws, this method is being used in schools, doctor’s offices and government regulations in order to define human beings by yet another metric.

One problematic way schools use the BMI is through “fat letters,” which schools throughout the nation send home when a child’s BMI is considered at-risk for obesity. It is understandable why schools may want to step

in when a child appears to have an unhealthy situation at home, but “fat letters” are not the way to do it. Focusing on size and appearance can be very damaging, especially with children as young as elementary school age.

The BMI divides human beings into four sweeping categories, which are underweight, normal, overweight and obese.

As it is a simple calculation, it cannot account for the difference between fat, muscle or bone, which can lead to athletes being labeled as “obese” because of their muscle mass.

On the other hand, the metric may also mark someone as having a healthy weight even if it is mostly made up of fat and not muscle, according to LiveStrong. com.

According to the Eating Disorders Coalition, the focus on BMI in schools may lead to increased numbers of eating disorders.

Though sometimes seen as attention-seeking behavior or as a symptom of vanity, eating disorders are actually very serious, with anorexia having the highest mortality rate of all mental illness. Obviously, no one would want to morph a child’s relationship with food in this way, but with America’s current obesity crisis, a focus on weight seems inevitable.

No ‘breather’ games for USF

By Jacob Hoag

Outside USF

S P O R T S

E D I T O R

Although this weekend’s opponents don’t claim a spot in the rankings, that doesn’t mean USF will prepare for them any differently than it would No.1 Florida or No. 8 Michigan.

With matchups against Illinois and Georgia Southern among others this weekend in the USF Under Armour Invitational, the Bulls know they can’t let any game slip by.

“There ain’t no ‘just throw your gloves on the field, it’s a breather’ games,” coach Ken Eriksen said at the team’s weekly media availability. “You have to be able to play the game and that’s catch and throw, run your butt off and those types of things.”

USF opened the season with four Top 25 teams in its first three tournaments, including an in-state rivalry matchup with the topranked Gators opening weekend.

For Eriksen, rankings aren’t what make a top-tier team, but he enjoys the competition with the top programs in the country.

“Those polls and ranks are all popularity polls,” Eriksen said.

“They have nothing to do with RPI, strength of schedule or anything else. What you see is we’re playing a good schedule and will continue

to play against good schedules.”

With 13 teams from last year’s NCAA tournament field, the Bulls prepared for a rough schedule, but haven’t put too much emphasis on names.

“We don’t play against the other teams with the names in the front of their chests,” Eriksen said. “We play knowing there are scholarships in the other dugout and they play just as hard as we do. The team that plays better that day is going to have an opportunity to win. By no stretch of the imagination do we think this is a breather weekend.”

Even with a tough schedule, the Bulls find themselves above .500 through their first three weekends and are looking to continue early success.

“I think you look at the past 15 games and use the positives of all of them to continue to grow,” Eriksen said. “After 15 games being 8-7 against the schedule that we’ve played, I feel phenomenal with where we’re at.”

Part of the team’s success last weekend was due to the play of freshman first basemen Lauren Evans. Evans was elected to her first AAC Honor Roll on Monday after batting .538 with five runs off seven hits in the USF Wilson Demarini Tournament.

Freshman first baseman Lauren Evans played strong with a .538 batting average and five runs in last week’s tournament.

ORACLE FILE PHOTO/ADAM MATHIEU

“I just go out there and try to do the best I can for the team,” Evans said. “It was an honor (to be selected to the conference honor roll) and I’m really excited looking forward to what is to come for us.”

Evans and company will have a new ballpark to hit in this weekend after enjoying the home comfort of USF for the first three weeks.

After a doubleheader against Illinois and Georgia Southern on Friday at the USF Softball Complex, the Bulls will make their first road

trip to the Eddie C. Moore Complex in Clearwater for three games to close out the weekend.

“You’re not going to get into that beautiful, spacious dugout that you’re used to,” Eriksen said regarding the change of venue.

“You won’t get the convenience of walking out from the locker room to the ball field, you have to adjust.

But good teams don’t worry about that kind of stuff, you just worry about once you hit the field, you play ball.”

Baseball

Young bullpen showing reliability

USF lost key relief pitchers from on Sienna at home Friday at last season, but is still holding its 6:30 p.m. ground on the mound with new players.

Women’s Basketball Last year, Janick Serrallonga finished with a 2.13 ERA over USF (23-5, 14-2) at 50 2/3 innings, and fellow senior Lawrence Pardo had a 4.72 ERA UCF (9-18, 5-11) with 34 strikeouts over 34 1/3 When: Saturday, 4 p.m. innings, leaving room for other Where: CFE Arena players to step up in the bullpen TV/Radio: ESPN3, 1010 AM when they left.

Enter Joe Cavallaro and Tommy Eveld.

These two are new to USF baseball this season, but have made an early impact coming out of the bullpen.

Both have opposing batting averages of .143, which is tied for fifth in the AAC. Cavallaro, a freshman out of Sarasota High School, holds the lowest ERA on the team at 0.96.

Over three appearances, he has allowed one earned run in 9 1/3 innings. The 6-foot-5, 200-pounder has struck out nine and walked three.

Cavallaro (1-0) earned the win in USF’s opening game Feb. 13 against No. 17 Cal State Fullerton.

In relief of starter Jimmy Herget, the right-hander struck out two in two innings of no-hit baseball.

The next day, coach Mark Kingston showed confidence in Eveld, a redshirt sophomore walkon out of Jesuit High School.

Eveld made his first appearance Feb. 14 against No. 7 Louisville, fanning five in four shutout innings.

Kingston was impressed with Eveld’s performance — especially since he hadn’t really played in about seven years, he said.

Eveld had occupied himself with football. Positioned as a wide receiver on the USF football team, he didn’t see playing time. The 6-foot-5, 194-pounder suffered torn knee ligaments during spring practice in 2014, but has since recovered.

In four appearances, Eveld holds a 2.08 ERA after surrendering two earned runs on four hits over 8 2/3 innings.

USF (4-3-1) will likely look to Cavallaro and Eveld this weekend as the Bulls host High Point (1-4).

The weekend series begins Friday at 6:30 p.m.
