Union nears agreement By  Sarah  Strohmayer Staff  Writer

One  out  of  three  contract  im-­ passes  at  UVM  is  nearing  an  end.  On  Oct.  20  Interim  President  John  Bramley  sent  an  email  to  the  University  community  stating  that  a  tentative  agreement  has  been  made  during  the  negotiations  between  the  administration  and  United  Academics  (UA),  UVM’s  faculty  union.

Over  the  course  of  the  past  year,  UA  has  been  in  negotiations  with  the  administration  about  sal-­ ary  increases  for  the  2012  school  year.  Bramley  said  that  he  would  need  to  consult  with  the  Board  of  Trustees  before  the  negotiation  FDQ EH ÂżQDOL]HG  “I  am  told  by  United  Academ-­

Alum gives $1 million

Hopes to inspire others to donate for scholarships %\ .HHJDQ )DLUÂżHOG

Staff  Writer

A  UVM  alumnus  and  his  fam-­ ily  have  donated  $1  million  to  the  University  to  be  used  for  scholar-­ ships.  Donald  McCree,  class  of  ‘83,  announced  he  was  making  the  donation  at  the  annual  Scholar-­ ship  Luncheon  held  during  Re-­ union  and  Homecoming  Week-­ end  in  October.

The  gift  will  be  split  equally  between  UVM’s  general  scholar-­ ship  fund  and  the  McCree  Fam-­ ily  Scholarship  Fund,  which  was  created  in  2006  when  the  family  donated  $500,000.

During  the  announcement,  McCree  cited  his  strong  admira-­

tion  for  UVM  as  the  motivation  for  his  generosity.   “Simply  said,  I  just  love  this  place,�  McCree  said.   Additionally,  McCree  said  he  hopes  his  gift  will  inspire  others  to  support  UVM.  The  timing  of  his  donation  was  intended  to  draw  attention  to  the  newly  formed  UVM  Foundation,  according  to  Richard  Bundy,  president  and  CEO  of  the  foundation.

McCree  is  CEO  of  Treasury  Services  for  JPMorgan  Chase,  and  is  a  member  of  the  Foun-­ dation’s  Board  of  Directors  and  serves  on  the  Finance  and  Invest-­ ment  Committee.

New institute opens IEDS to evaluate environmental and political relations in global By  Sarah  Leidinger Staff  Writer A  new  institute  is  hoping  to  bring  international  relations  and  environmentalism  closer  togeth-­ er.  The  Institute  for  Environ-­ mental  Diplomacy  and  Security  (IEDS),  located  in  the  Jeffords  Building,  is  a  research  center  that  focuses  on  techniques  to  end  en-­ YLURQPHQWDO FRQÀLFWV DFFRUGLQJ to  the  IEDS  website.

The  environmental  issues  that  the  institute  will  focus  on  are  very  important  to  national  secu-­ rity  and  can  be  used  to  resolve  disputes,  said  Saleem  Ali,  profes-­ sor  of  environmental  studies  and  director  of  IEDS. “The  environment  is,  in  many  ways,  an  issue  of  common  aversion,�  Ali  said.  “If  it  gets  de-­ stroyed,  everyone  suffers.�

IEDS  was  created  last  year  and  an  inaugural  conference  was  held  on  the  weekend  of  Oct.  21,  according  to  University  Commu-­ nications.

The  goal  of  the  conference  was  to  bring  together  members  of  different  environmental  back-­ grounds  and  get  them  to  talk  through  their  differences  and  have  better  conversations  about  environmental  issues,  Ali  said.

The  event  was  successful  and  had  about  100  participants  from  all  over  the  world,  he  said.

Some  of  the  notable  attend-­ ees  included:  Richard  Benedick,  president  of  the  National  Council  on  Science  and  the  Environment;͞  Matt  Dunne,  manager  of  com-­

munity  relations  for  the  Google  Corporation;͞  and  Tariq  Banuri,  director  of  the  U.N.’s  sustainable  development  division,  according  to  University  Communications.

Now  that  the  conference  has  ended,  the  next  goal  for  IEDS  is  WR HVWDEOLVK D VWURQJ ¿QDQFLDO base  since  the  current  budget  is  temporary,  Ali  said.

“The environment is, in many ways, an issue of common aversion. If it gets destroyed, everyone suffers.�

Saleem Ali Professor of environmental studies and director of IEDS The  IEDS  has  already  gained  ¿QDQFLDO VXSSRUW IURP FRPSD-­ nies  such  as  the  Tiffany  &  Com-­ pany  Foundation,  who  gave  the  Institute  a  $200,000  grant  over  two  years. “The  IEDS  has  received  [the]  grant  to  consider  ways  of  linking  environmental  conservation  to  sustainable  livelihoods  in  island  economies  using  pearl  farming,â€?  according  to  University  Commu-­ nications.

Students and staff clean for Vermont Volunteers meet to help with aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene By  Lauren  Drasler Staff  Writer Tropical  Storm  Irene  may  be  a  thing  of  the  past  for  some  peo-­ ple,  but  for  those  living  in  many  parts  of  Vermont  the  storm  is  still  a  part  of  their  daily  lives.

7KH ¿UVW DQQXDO 9HUPRQW Cleanup  Day  took  place  on  Oct.  22.  The  event  was  designed  to  en-­ courage  volunteers  from  across  the  state  to  help  victims  of  Irene  recover  and  get  their  homes  be-­ fore  winter,  according  to  the  Ver-­ mont  Cleanup  Day  website.

Though  many  students  at  UVM  are  not  native  Vermonters,  members  of  the  UVM  communi-­ ty  still  participated  in  the  efforts  to  help  communities  across  the  state. “We  had  over  80  students,  faculty  and  staff  participate  last  Saturday,�  said  Danielle  Jenkins,  a  senior  and  Irene  outreach  co-­ ordinator.  “We  had  several  vol-­ unteers  sign  up  as  individuals,  but  lots  of  groups  turned  out  as  well.  The  groups  with  the  highest  participation  were  Black  Student  Union,  the  gymnastics  team  and  the  Rubenstein  [school].�

Jenkins  said  she  viewed  UVM’s  participation  efforts  as  a  success,  especially  given  how  quickly  it  was  put  together. “The  communities  we  worked  with  expressed  sincere  grati-­ tude,  and  they  were  genuinely  impressed  with  how  enthusiastic  our  volunteers  were,�  Jenkins  said.

On  Saturday,  UVM  volun-­ teers  were  sent  to  three  separate Â

communities  across  Vermont.  Rochester,  West  Woodstock  and  Bethel  all  received  UVM  assis-­ tance,  Jenkins  said.   The  days’  activities  included  working  with  individual  home-­ owners  and  along  riverbanks  in  Rochester,  ruined  insulation  and  debris  removal  in  West  Wood-­ stock  and  silt  removal  at  Peavine  Park  in  Bethel,  Jenkins  said.

Professor  Jay  Ashman  took  a  bus  with  25  people  from  the  Uni-­ versity  to  Peavine  Park.

“I had been looking for a way to help with Irene recovery efforts and it was really nice to be able to do it in the company of other UVM people.�

Jay Ashman CDAE professor “We  dug  out  around  trees,  picnic  tables  and  benches  so  that  the  heavy  equipment  could  come  in.  We  also  cleared  leaves  and  brush  from  the  park,�  Ashman  said.

The  park  is  one  that  many  people  in  the  Bethel  community  use  for  a  variety  of  events,  Ash-­ man  said. “A  lot  of  weddings,  birthday  parties  and  graduation  events Â

[take  place  in  the  park],�  Ash-­ man  said.  “I  had  been  looking  for  a  way  to  help  with  Irene  recovery  efforts  and  it  was  really  nice  to  be  able  to  do  it  in  the  company  of  other  UVM  people.�

Some  students  were  unable  to  participate  in  the  event  but  said  that  they  appreciated  the  efforts  of  those  who  did. “I’m  impressed  by  the  amount  of  people  who  want  to  do  some-­ thing  to  help,�  junior  John  Mark  Brigham  said.  “I  give  my  support  to  those  who  are  helping,  but  be-­ ing  at  college  and  not  having  a  car  makes  it  hard  for  me  to  partici-­ pate.�

The  transportation  concern  seemed  to  be  a  common  issue  among  students. “I  received  a  bunch  of  emails  about  Vermont  Cleanup  Day,  but  I  don’t  think  there  was  enough  information  about  transporta-­ tion  in  regard  to  this  event,�  ju-­ nior  Mike  Webb  said.  “I  think  the  lack  of  cars  really  de-­motivated  people  from  helping.�

Because  interest  in  Ver-­ mont  Cleanup  Day  was  so  well-­ received,  more  days  are  being  planned  to  help  further  the  re-­ covery  efforts  for  those  affected  by  Irene. “Right  now  we  are  in  the  plan-­ ning  stages  for  two  more  days  of  service  on  Nov.  12  and  Nov.  16,�  Jenkins  said.  “Registration  will  go  live  online  early  next  week.  Everyone  should  keep  an  eye  on  their  inbox  for  more  informa-­ tion.�

Marine’s display stolen from Davis

Police looking for suspect who took army gear from glass case By  Elliot  deBruyn  Senior  Staff  Writer Within  two  minutes,  the  glass  cover  was  removed  and  Ryan  Little’s  items  from  his  tour  as  a  Marine  in  Afghanistan  were  wrapped  into  a  black  sweatshirt  and  stolen.

On  Oct.  22  at  11:06  p.m.,  a  man  walked  into  the  Davis  Cen-­ ter  tunnel  and  removed  items  from  a  display  case  that  was  ad-­ vertising  Veterans  Day,  accord-­ ing  to  police.  Much  of  the  stolen  items  belong  to  junior  and  vet-­ eran  Ryan  Little. “Honestly,  it  doesn’t  surprise  me,�  Little  said.  “It  took  like  two  seconds  for  him  to  pop  the  glass  off.  I’m  lucky  I  didn’t  put  my  medals  in  there.�

The  stolen  items  include Â

three  large  carabiners,  a  canteen  and  Marine-­  and  Navy-­issued  hats.

SGA  Sen.  Katie  Rifken  said  the  cases  have  been  broken  into  in  the  past. “There  are  missing  keys,  peo-­ ple  can  lift  the  glass  off  the  case,�  Rifken  said.  “These  were  people’s  priceless  possessions,  pieces  of  people’s  lives.�

Melody  Walker  works  at  Stu-­ dent  Life  and  helps  manage  the  display  cases. “The  glass  has  been  removed  before,  mostly  for  people  putting  up  their  own  advertising,�  Walk-­ er  said.  “However,  I  would  have  never  thought  that  this  would  happen.�

Walker  said  a  man  came  into  WKH 6WXGHQW /LIH RIÂżFH RQ HLWKHU Oct.  22  or  Oct.  25  and  asked  her Â

about  the  Veterans  Collaboration  Organization  (VCO)  display  case. “He  asked  who  owns  the  case,  who  owns  the  stuff  inside  the  case,â€?  she  said.  “He  wasn’t  mem-­ orable,  but  instead  of  talking  to  SGA  he  just  left  ‌  it  was  weird.â€?

Police  said  Wednesday  they  are  following  “substantial  leads,â€?  according  to  Sgt.  Daniel  Finnegan.  Along  with  the  securi-­ ty  footage  of  that  shows  the  man  stealing  the  items  and  a  possible  eyewitness,  Little  said  the  police  may  be  closing  in  on  the  suspect. “They’re  moving  in  on  the  guy,â€?  Little  said  in  a  text,  but  po-­ OLFH GLG QRW FRQÂżUP DQ DUUHVW Little  is  president  of  VCO,  a  group  of   student-­veterans  on  campus  the  organize  events  like  the  Nov.  11  Veterans  Day  ceremo-­ nies.

Former  Managing  Editor  Elliot  deBruyn  and  former  Editor-­in-­ Chief  Haylley  Johnson  present  the  Pacemaker  Award  on  Nov.  2. Â

Paper takes award

Vermont Cynic wins ACP Pacemaker

By  Brent  Summers News  Editor The  Vermont  Cynic  has  won  college  journalism’s  top  prize.

The  Pacemaker  award,  given  out  annually  by  the  Associated  Collegiate  Press,  recognizes  the  best  newspapers  in  the  United  States,  according  to  their  web-­ site.

More  then  20,000  students  are  staffed  at  ACP  member  pub-­ lications.

The  Cynic  is  the  only  non-­ daily  Pacemaker  winner  that  does  not  have  a  degree  program  in  journalism  and/or  a  journal-­ ism  department.

The  award  acknowledges  The  Cynic’s  efforts  from  the  2010-­ 2011  academic  year,  which  began  under  the  leadership  of  former  Editor-­in-­Chief  Haylley  Johnson  and  former  Managing  Editor  El-­ liot  deBruyn  and  ended  under  Editor-­in-­Chief  Natalie  DiBlasio  and  Managing  Editor  Jeff  Ayers. “I’ve  watched  my  friends  work  so  hard  for  this  paper,�  Johnson  said.  “Finally,  their  hard  work  —  this  team’s  hard  work  —  has  become  a  nationally  recog-­ nized  reality.�

Johnson  said  that  The  Cynic  has  changed  dramatically  since  VKH ¿UVW VWDUWHG ¿YH \HDUV DJR ³:KHQ , ¿UVW EHFDPH D ZULW-­

er,  editors  were  doing  their  own  layout  and  we  had  a  skeleton  of  a  website,â€?  she  said.  “Now  we  have  a  layout  team,  a  great  website  and  training.â€?  deBruyn  said  that  the  news  of  The  Cynic’s  win  came  as  a  total  shock. “When  Natalie  [DiBlasio]  told  me  [about  the  award]  I  was  driving,â€?  deBruyn  said.  “I  had  to  pull  the  car  over.â€? deBruyn  said  that  in  his  time  with  the  paper,  he  has  seen  an  upward  trend  in  journalistic  in-­ tegrity  and  responsibility  to  the  community. “Everything  that  needs  to  make  a  paper  happen  ‌  is  hap-­ pening,â€?  he  said.  The  Cynic  newsroom  is  a  great  training  ground,  and  stu-­ dents  have  the  chance  to  work  in  a  professional  environment,  said  Chris  Evans,  student  media  adviser  and  assistant  director  of  student  life.  The  award  means  that  young  journalists  at  UVM  are  doing  their  jobs  well,  he  said.  But  they  always  seek  to  improve. “As  the  students  on  staff  know,  the  paper  is  not  always  perfect,â€?  Evans  said.  “But  the  goal  is  to  work  toward  perfection.  The  staff  work  their  tails  off  for  their  paper.  And  it  shows.â€?

$1 trillion in the red By  Mat  Degan Staff  Writer

Debt  from  federal  loan  pro-­ grams  is  piling  higher  and  higher  for  students  everywhere.  By  the  end  of  2011,  the  total  amount  owed  on  outstanding  student  loans  will  reach  an  un-­ precedented  $1  trillion,  accord-­ ing  to  a  report  by  USA  Today.  In  2010  alone,  total  student  borrowing  crossed  the  $100  bil-­ lion  mark,  the  report  stated.

On  average,  the  amount  of  money  that  full-­time  under-­ graduate  students  borrow  rose  63  percent  from  a  decade  ear-­ lier,  from  $1,836  per  student  to  $4,963,   according  to  the  report.  Compounding  the  problem  is  the  increasing  number  of  stu-­

dents  in  default  —  those  more  than  nine  months  behind  on  payments  —  which  rose  from  6.7  percent  in  2007  to  8.8  percent  in  2009,  according  to  the  most  re-­ cent  federal  data.    The  highest  recorded  default  UDWHV DUH DW IRU SUR¿W VFKRROV WKDW cater  to  lower-­income  students,  the  report  stated.

The  University  of  Phoenix  LV WKH QDWLRQœV ODUJHVW IRU SUR¿W school.  The  majority  of  that  mon-­ ey  comes  from  student  loans.

The  USA  Today  report  stated  that  Americans  now  owe  more  on  student  loans  than  on  credit  cards,  citing  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  New  York,  the  U.S.  De-­ partment  of  Education  and  pri-­ vate  sources.  Â

By  Natalie  Williams Staff  Writer One  small  step  for  man,  one  giant  leap  for  UVM. Professors  at  the  University  are  researching  technologies  to  send  a  10-­centimeter  Cube  Satel-­ lite  (CubeSat)  into  space  to  orbit  the  moon,  according  to  Univer-­ sity  Communications.

UVM  is  working  in  collabora-­ tion  with  Norwich  College,  Saint  Michael’s  College  and  Vermont  Technical  College  to  develop  the  ¿QDO VDWHOOLWH ZKLFK ZLOO IXOO\ launch  in  2014,  professor  Jun  Yu  said. “Our  ultimate  goal  is  to  de-­ velop  a  triple  CubeSat  capable  of  reaching  lunar  orbit  and  possible  conducting  a  lunar  landing,â€?  Yu Â

said. Âł,W ZLOO EH WKH ÂżUVW VSDFH LQ-­ strument  produced  in  Vermont  and  put  into  space,  which  is  cool,â€?  Yu  said.  “It  is  a  very  exciting  proj-­ ect  —  eventually  you  get  to  see  your  project  take  off.â€?

Graduate  student  Gregg  Carpenter  is  also  thrilled  about  Vermont’s  developing  space  re-­ search. “We  see  it  as  a  really  impor-­ tant  opportunity,  not  only  for  Vermont  research  but  the  United  States  space  program,�  Carpenter  said.

Cube-­Satellites  will  provide  a  general  platform  for  inexpensive  space  exploration  and  robotic  systems  that  can  explore  space  without  humans  being  in  full  re-­

al-­time  control,  he  said.

Professor  Jeff  Frolik  works  on  the  project  by  developing  sen-­ sors  and  robotic  systems  for  the  CubeSats. “The  CubeSats  have  wireless  sensors  which  can  be  deployed  on  ground,�  Frolik  said.  “They  act  based  on  what  things  on  the  ground  tell  them.�

Not healthy Nurses speak out about administration concerns By  Amanda  Sherwood Staff  Writer

The  nurses  at  Fletcher  Allen  are  up  in  arms  over  administra-­ tive  “golden  parachutes.�  The  extensive  severance  packages  and  executive  salaries  of  the  administration  while  tech-­ nicians,  nurses  and  other  work-­ ers  are  experiencing  a  pay  freeze  has  led  to  frustrated  members  of  the  Fletcher  Allen  Health  Care  community. “Top  executives  receive  in-­ creases  of  73  percent  in  one  year,  and  the  administration  demands  pay  freezes  from  us,�  said  Karen  Magnant,  Flether  Allen  Health  Care  ophthalmology  technician.  “The  message  from  interim  CEO  Dr.  Brumsted  is  clear:  belt  tightening  for  people  on  the  front  lines  and  bonuses  for  those  on  boards,�  Magnant  said.  The  debate  was  sparked  over  a  rumored  severance  package  for  CEO  Melinda  Estes,  who  left  Fletcher  Allen  for  a  top  position  at  Saint  Luke’s  Health  System  in  Kansas  City,  according  to  VTDig-­ ger.org.

Mike  Noble,  who  works  at  Fletcher  Allen,  denied  the  rumor  of  Estes’  severance  package.  “Dr.  Estes  received  no  money  in  a  severance  package  –  $0,�  he  said.  Although  this  “golden  para-­ chute�  did  not  exist,  registered  nurse  Mari  Cordes  brought  at-­

tention  more  broadly  to  compen-­ sation  distribution  and  respect  deserved  among  hospital  work-­ ers.  “The  main  point  of  worker  upset  [is]  that  huge  amounts  of  money  is  directed  toward  top-­ heavy  compensation  for  admin-­ istration,�  Cordes  said.  “[This]  leaves  a  really  bad  taste  in  work-­ ing  family’s  mouths,  when  they  are  the  ones  that  provide  the  high-­quality  services  that  give  our  institutions  a  good  name.�

“Let’s stop wasting time and money and get back to using hospital resources for patient care.�

SGA looks to the future

By  Natalie  Williams Staff  Writer Student  Government  Asso-­ ciation  Sen.  Connor  Daley  has  gained  the  support  of  SGA  to  cre-­ ate  what  he  calls  the  2020  Initia-­ tive.

The  purpose  of  the  2020  Ini-­ tiative  is  to  get  student  input  on  administrative  education  projects  and  is  seeking  to  create  a  student  academic  vision  that  parallels  the  Strategic  Initiative  Project  (SIP),  Daley  said.

The  SIP,  headed  by  Provost  Jane  Knodell,  will  address  the  need  for  a  sustainable,  long-­term  ¿QDQFLDO PRGHO DW WKH 8QLYHUVLW\ according  to  University  Commu-­ nications.  “It  provides  a  framework  for  students  to  go  forward,â€?  Daley  said.

The  2020  Initiative  will  pro-­ vide  a  framework  for  students  to  voice  what  they  consider  to  be  the  academic  needs  of  the  University  by  the  year  2020,  Daley  said. “It’s  hard  for  the  administra-­

tion  to  gauge  student  opinion,  so  having  [the  2020  Initiative]  would  help  better  the  relation-­ ship  [between  students  and  the  administration],�  he  said.  Daley  said  he  has  been  ad-­ dressing  students  groups  and  clubs  on  campus  to  get  the  word  out  about  the  project.

This  whole  initiative  is  being  made  so  that  the  administration  knows  what  the  students  want,  he  said.  The  three  questions  Daley  has  been  asking  students  are  why  they  chose  UVM,  what  they  think  the  emerging  academic  strengths  of  UVM  are  and  what  the  stu-­ dents  want  their  degree  to  mean  once  they  graduate.  Daley  has  gained  the  support  of  SGA’s  Academic  Affairs  Com-­ mittee,  of  which  he  is  a  member. “I  think  that  Connor’s  2020  initiative  asks  a  really  good  ques-­ tion,â€?  Chair  Gavin  Caster  said.   “What’s  a  potential  student  vision  for  UVM’s  academics  in  2020,  and  what  are  the  strengths  we Â

have  that  could  get  us  there?� “I  think  the  conversations  we’ve  had  as  a  committee  have  been  very  helpful  in  trying  to  an-­ swer  that  question,�  Caster  said.

Daley  said  that  he  is  happy  with  the  suggestions  that  stu-­ dents  have  made  so  far.  Daley  plans  to  present  the  document  to  the  Faculty  Senate  by  Dec.  6  if  it  is  approved  by  SGA  on  Nov.  6. Â

First-­year  Jack  Phinney  rides  his  mini  cruiser  longboard  to  class  on  Oct.  27.  Phinney  is  part  of  the  ef-­ fort  of  UVMPC  to  try  to  start  a  longboarding  club  on  campus.

New club wants to board UVM Push Culture to include all skaters, longboarders By  Samantha  Sawyer Staff  Writer

A  new  club  called  UVM  Push  Culture  (UVMPC)  may  be  rolling  across  campus  soon.

Students  have  been  collabo-­ rating  to  create  the  skate  club,  which  will  organize  a  community  of  skateboarders  and  longboad-­ ers  at  UVM  and  promote  safe  rid-­ ing. “The  club  will  most  impor-­ WDQWO\ UHĂ€HFW WKH SXUSRVH IRU ZK\ we  longboard,  which  is  to  get  out-­ side  and  have  fun,â€?  said  Laura  Friedland,  a  junior  and  president  of  UVMPC. )ULHGODQG DORQJ ZLWK ÂżUVW year  Isabel  Lazarus  and  junior  Harrison  Wolf,  has  been  working  diligently  throughout  the  semes-­ ter  to  create  a  constitution  that  can  be  presented  to  Risk  Man-­ agement  and  the  SGA,  she  said.

She  said  the  skate  club  initia-­ tive  has  been  in  the  making  for  a  while. “I’ve  been  thinking  about Â

making  a  club  since  freshman  year,�  Friedland  said.  “It’s  funny,  because  it  seems  like  everyone  I  talk  to  has  said,  ‘I  was  wondering  when  someone  was  going  to  do  that.’�

The  club  will  provide  a  way  for  skaters  of  all  different  levels  and  experience  to  come  together  for  group  rides  and  to  escape  the  daily  stresses  of  college,  she  said. “As  a  club,  we  will  be  able  to  put  on  events  around  campus  that  will  be  a  lot  of  fun  to  watch  and  participate  in,�  Friedland  said.  “It  is  a  great  way  to  show-­ case  our  skills  and  hopefully  en-­ courage  other  people  to  try  skat-­ ing.�

On  Oct.  29,  UVMPC  held  an  event  to  promote  their  club,  raise  money  and  involve  all  interested  skaters  in  contests  and  activities.

The  club  also  hopes  to  en-­ courage  safe  riding  around  cam-­ pus.

UVMPC  will  enforce  helmet  use  when  riding  and  will  teach  safety  clinics  to  make  skating  a Â

more  enjoyable  experience  for  all  on  campus,  Friedland  said.

“We want to emphasize the unity among longboarders, skateboarders and the greater UVM community.�

“We  want  to  emphasize  the  unity  among  longboarders,  skate-­ boarders  and  the  greater  UVM  community,�  Friedland  said.  “By  creating  a  club,  I  think  we  can  only  strengthen  the  student  body  here  at  UVM.�

This  summer,  37  students  were  brought  in  from  China,  of  which  36  made  it  to  the  second  semester.  One  was  dismissed  because  of  academic  dishonesty,  and  two  more  joined  from  North-­

eastern  University  during  the  Summer  Bridge  Program.

The  students  have  been  very  promising:  one  student  at  the  College  of  Engineering  and  Math-­ ematical  Sciences  with  a  3.84  GPA,  one  student  in  the  Honors  College,  another  being  inducted  into  the  Engineering  Honors  So-­ ciety,  six  students  from  the  School  RI %XVLQHVV RQ WKH 'HDQÂśV /LVW DQG even  two  SGA  senators.  “We  have  monitored  their  VRFLDO LQWHJUDWLRQ ´ /XFLHU VDLG “How  are  they  integrating  in  the  University,  Burlington  and  in  the  U.S.?  How  are  their  professors  and  staff  interacting  with  the  stu-­ dents?  We  talked  to  faculty  and  staff,  who  have  been  thankful  that  we  are  seeking  international  enroll-­ ment,  he  said.

Sen. Bernie Sanders engages UVM

Town hall meeting focuses on current issues in the U.S. economy By  Jordanna  Goodman Senior  Staff  Writer In  a  discussion  organized  by  College  Democrats,  Sen.  Bernie  Sanders  spoke  about  current  is-­ sues  that  the  United  States’  econ-­ omy  is  facing.    Sanders  is  the  longest  serv-­ ing  Independent  in  Congress,  and  currently  represents  the  state  of  Vermont  as  one  of  its’  senators,  leader  of  the  College  Democrats  Brittany  Nevins  said  in  her  intro-­ duction.

He  is  known  for  defending  the  interests  of  the  working  class,  Nevins  said.  Sanders  spoke  about  the  importance  of  engaging  young  people  in  the  democratic  process. “This  country  faces  enormous  problems,â€?  Sanders  said.  “I  think  it  is  imperative  that  we  put  these  problems  on  the  table  to  analyze  and  dissect  them  and  say  ‘where  do  we  go  from  here?’â€?   +H VSRNH DERXW VLJQLÂżFDQW changes  that  the  country  has  faced  recently  and  the  impor-­ tance  of  young  people  in  working  to  change  these  problems.   Sanders  described  the  current  state  of  our  country’s  economy  as  the  worst  recession  since  the  Great  Depression.   The  generation  that  college  VWXGHQWV DUH LQ LV WKH ÂżUVW JHQ-­ eration  in  modern  times  to  have  a  lower  standard  of  living  than  their  parents,  he  said.   One  point  that  Sanders  strongly  emphasized  is  the  differ-­

COURTESY OF BERNIE SANDERS

SGA  Sen.  Gavin  Caster,  chair  of  the  Academic  Affairs  Committee,  asks  U.S.  Sen.  Bernie  Sanders  a  question  during  Sanders’  Town  Meeting  in  the  Davis  Center’s  Sugar  Maple  Ballroom  on  Oct.  27.  ence  in  the  unemployment  rate  that  is  printed  in  newspapers  and  spoken  about  from  the  actual  un-­ employment  rate.

He  said  that  the  unemploy-­ ment  rate  that  is  currently  talked  about,  9  percent,  does  not  in-­ clude  those  that  aren’t  employed  because  they  gave  up  looking  for  work.  If  you  include  those  people,  Sanders  said  the  rate  is  actually  16  percent.   Sanders  spoke  about  how  this Â

unemployment  rate  also  relates  to  declining  median  family  in-­ come,  causing  the  poverty  rate  to  increase.  He  said  that  25  percent  of  children  get  nutrition  from  food  stamps.

He  said  that  while  a  great  deal  of  the  country  is  in  poverty,  the  people  on  top  are  doing  phenom-­ enally  well.   “The  top  1  percent  earns  more  income  than  the  bottom  50  per-­ cent,â€?  Sanders  said.  Â

The  400  richest  people  in  the  country  own  more  wealth  than  the  bottom  150  million  people,  he  added.   Along  with  the  huge  gap  be-­ tween  the  rich  and  the  poor,  the  health  insurance  problem  in  this  country  is  also  great,  Sanders  said.

There  are  50  million  people  in  the  U.S.  that  do  not  have  health  insurance,  and  we  are  the  only  nation  in  the  industrial  world  that Â

does  not  guarantee  health  care,  he  said.   Currently,  there  is  a  proposed  health  insurance  program  that  would  cover  everyone  living  in  Vermont  as  a  right.   If  passed,  this  program  would  be  a  cost-­effective  way  to  get  rid  of  private  insurance  companies,  he  said.   Sanders’  last  main  point  in-­ volved  the  problem  of  the  expen-­ sive  education  system  currently  in  place  in  our  country.   Many  European  countries  do  not  put  a  price  on  education  be-­ cause  “they  want  the  best-­educat-­ HG ZRUNIRUFH WKDW WKH\ FDQ ÂżQG ´ he  said.  He  added  that  these  countries  may  not  be  crazy  for  giving  out  free  education  to  their  citizens.

Sophomore  Frances  Russell  came  to  the  discussion  because  he  is  a  big  fan  of  Bernie,  he  said.   Russell  said  that  he  admires  Sanders  and  thought  that  the  biggest  problem  Sanders  talked  about  was  the  overall  economic  situation  of  our  country.

Sanders  does  not  just  have  supporters  and  followers  from  Vermont.  Continuing  education  student  Mark  Kelly,  who  is  from  Tennessee,  came  to  hear  Sanders  speak  because  he  said  he  was  cu-­ rious  to  hear  about  the  economy.   “What  he  said  makes  a  lot  of  sense,â€?  Kelly  said.  “A  lot  of  it  is  very  depressing.â€?  Â

The  show  was  part  of  Win-­ stead’s  “Planned  Parenthood,  I’m  Here  for  You!�  tour.   The  comedy  was  geared  toward  women  but  did  not  solely  concern  women’s  issues.

Winstead’s  tour  comes  from  her  concern  for  attacks  on  Planned  Parenthood,  which  she  has  longstanding  support  for. “Women’s  health  has  be-­

come  the  number  one  focus  of  the  radical  right  —  even  worse,  it  has  been  reduced  to  a  bargain-­ ing  chip,â€?  Winstead  said  in  the  press  release.  “If  creating  jobs  is  the  number  one  priority  for  poli-­ ticians  in  this  country,  why  are  they  so  focused  on  my  uterus?  My  uterus  doesn’t  create  jobs,  in  fact  it  no  longer  even  does  the  one  job  it’s  supposed  to!â€?  Winstead  cracked  jokes  on  many  prominent  Republican  politicians  and  presidential  can-­ didates  who  want  to  harm  the  ef-­ forts  of  Planned  Parenthood. “Republicans  are  talking  about  reducing  abortions  by  out-­ lawing  contraception.â€?  Winstead  said.  “What  kind  of  world  is  this?  [One]  where  you’ve  got  unicorns  and  abstinence?â€?  Winstead  joked  about  her  Vermont  crowd.  “I  thought  I’d  come  here  and  you  guys  would  power  the  lightings  with  your  bicycles  ‌  I  expected  that  all  of  your  pants  would  have  zippers  at  the  knee  in  case  there  was  ever  a  sudden  hik-­ ing  trip,â€?  she  said.

J-pop mixes learning, music

Japanese pop sounds find a niche in Living/Learning By  Hannah  Ullman Staff  Writer J-­pop  is  a  sensation  that’s  sweeping  the  world  —  or  at  least  Eastern  countries.  But  J-­pop  is  making  a  splash  at  UVM  by  occu-­ pying  its  own  niche.  Every  other  Wednesday  night  in  the  Living/ Learning  Center,  J-­pop  enthusi-­ asts  rehearse  Japanese  pop  music  with  piano  accompanist  Megumi  Esselstrom,  a  former  music  teacher  in  Japan.  J-­pop  is  a  term  coined  by  the  Japanese  radio  station  J-­Wave  and  was  used  to  refer  to  the  old  term  “New  Music.�  J-­pop  took  its  initial  inspiration  from  The  Bea-­ tles  and  then  covers  of  Western  songs,  according  to  the  Asia  Fin-­ est  website.

Eventually  they  developed  their  own  music  style  using  West-­ HUQ LQĂ€XHQFHV WKXV LW KDV EHHQ said  that  an  element  of  “playful-­ nessâ€?  was  added  to  Japanese  mu-­ sic.  The  J-­pop  term  is  now  used  in  reference  to  all  popular  songs  from  Japan  including  pop,  rap,  rock,  R&B  and  dance  music,  ac-­ cording  to  the  website.

During  the  biweekly  meetings  members  take  on  the  role  of  sing-­ ers.  In  their  practice  room  the  J-­ pop  club  members  sit  in  concen-­ tration  while  rehearsing  songs  and  looking  intently  at  their  mu-­ sic.  The  music  they  are  given  consists  of  Japanese  characters  without  English  translation;Íž  the  singers  must  translate  the  lyr-­ ics  themselves  or  look  them  up.  Many  of  the  members  of  the  club  said  that  they  are  Asian  studies Â

or  Japanese  majors  who  want  to  practice  reading  and  speaking  Japanese. Âł,WÂśV EHDXWLIXOO\ Ă€XII\ ´ VHQLRU Samantha  DiPietro  said  about  the  song  the  club  was  currently  work-­ ing  on.  DiPietro  said  that  this  par-­ ticular  song  was  roughly  about  a  toilet  goddess  and  that  part  of  the  joy  in  Japanese  pop  music  is  that  it  does  not  have  to  be  serious.  When  members  of  the  club  were  asked  how  they  discovered  J-­pop  they  said  mostly  through  friends’  suggestions  or  sifting  through  YouTube  link  after  You-­ Tube  link  and  deciding  by  trial Â

Safety gets cheap on campus Bikers  and  longboarders  had  the  chance  to  stop  by  the  Bailey/ Howe  green  to  purchase  helmets  from  local  bike  shops  at  dis-­ counted  prices  on  Oct.  21.

Local  Motion,  a  Burlington  area  organization  promoting  safe  recreation  and  transportation  throughout  Vermont  communi-­ ties,  works  alongside  of  the  Safe  Streets  Collaborative,  which  is  a  campaign  to  reduce  accidents  throughout  the  county  by  en-­ couraging  safer  behavior,  accord-­ ing  to  the  Local  Motion  website.

After  several  incidences  of  injuries  due  to  the  absence  of  helmets,  UVM  Police  Services  expressed  their  concerns  about  student  safety  to  Education  and  Safety  Manager  Jason  Van  Dri-­ esche  at  Local  Motion,  Van  Dri-­ esche  said.   Following  many  phone  calls  and  emails,  UVM  in  partnership  with  Local  Motion,  Fletcher  Allen  Health  Care  and  all  the  bike  and  board  shops  in  town  were  able  to  organize  a  way  to  make  helmets  more  affordable  to  students,  Van  Driesche  said.

North  Star  Sports,  Skirack  and  Earl’s  Cyclery  collaborated  with  the  Inter-­Residence  Asso-­ FLDWLRQ 6WXGHQW /LIH WKH 2IÂżFH of  Sustainability,  Police  Services  and  Transportation  and  Parking  Services  to  give  several  students Â

and  error  what  music  they  liked.  “You  don’t  think  that  other  people  around  you  know  it,  but  they  do,â€?  junior  Grace  Stanford  said.  She  said  she  recalled  last  week  hearing  J-­pop  coming  through  a  neighbor’s  door  as  she  walked  down  her  residence  hall.   J-­pop  is  slowly  becoming  popular  in  Asia,  along  with  K-­ Pop,  Korean  pop  said  one  club  member  after  their  rehearsal.  Another  member  suggested  the  song  “Sanctuaryâ€?  by  Utada  Hikaru  for  people  who  have  never  heard  Japanese  pop.  If  you Â

were  discounted  helmets.  Hel-­ mets  regularly  priced  from  $45-­ $60  were  available  for  $10-­$20.

Senior  Maggie  Druschel  said  she  worries  about  the  safety  of  students  riding  without  helmets  and  is  excited  about  the  bike  safety  event. “I  love  it,�  Druschel  said.  “I  ride  with  a  helmet  all  the  time  and  I  worry  about  other  people  getting  hurt.�

The  Bike  Users  Group  (BUG),  in  cooperation  with  the  Old  Spokes  Home,  set  up  alongside  the  retailers  to  offer  safety  checks  on  bikes  free  of  charge.   BUG  member  Daniel  Yablon-­ sky  said  goals  of  the  organiza-­ tions  to  increase  the  number  of  bike  users  on  campus  as  well  as  bike  accessibility.  In  an  effort  to  promote  these  intentions,  BUG  is  hosting  their  ¿UVW DQQXDO %8* $XFWLRQ RQ 1RY 11  from  6-­9  p.m.  at  Maglianero  CafÊ.   They  will  be  auctioning  off  a  vintage  bike  as  well  as  bike  gear  and  much  more,  according  to  %8*œV À\HU The  BUG  Bike  Shop  is  open  Monday-­Friday  from  11  a.m.–2  p.m.  and  is  located  in  the  loading  dock  area  of  the  Davis  Center,  Yablonsky  said.

Cynic Video

Emma Hansen presents: BTV Beats After a long two weeks of midterms, I decided to visit the cozy, warm environment that Halverson’s offers. I sampled some seasonal beers on tap and tried out their California burger. Melted cheese, bacon and avocado? Does it get any better?

Tucked away at the top of Church Street, Halverson’s is Wednesday’s best kept secret, because there’s almost always a wait any other day of the week. It’s perfect for a first date, or a relaxing night out with your friends. And nothing goes better together than some comfort food and robust seasonal ales.

Festival presents unique films

Film festival shows 79 films, has student competition By  Natalie  Slack Staff  Writer This  year  marked  the  26th  an-­ niversary  of  the  Vermont  Interna-­ tional  Film  Festival,  making  it  the  oldest  environmental  and  human  ULJKWV ÂżOP IHVWLYDO LQ WKH ZRUOG The  festival  took  place  from  Oct.  21-­30  and  was  screened  at  its  RIÂżFLDO YHQXH 3DODFH &LQHPDV as  well  as  at  several  new  venues  which  include  the  FlynnSpace,  North  End  Studios,  the  Essex  Cinemas  and  UVM’s  own  Flem-­ ing  Museum.  “Everything  about  the  festival  was  amazing,â€?  Deb  Ellis,  presi-­ dent  of  the  Board  of  Directors  for  the  festival,  said.  “One  thing  we  really  appreciated  was  the  amount  of  screenings  we  were  able  to  do  at  UVM  this  year.  We  have  a  real  desire  to  try  to  include  the  UVM  community  even  more  in  the  festival.â€?

The  four  major  themes  of  this  year’s  festival  were  food,  bor-­ ders  and  displacement,  freedom  and  liberty  and  Egyptian  cinema  showcase.  0RUH WKDQ ¿OPV ZHUH screened  over  the  course  of  the  10  days,  and  a  wide  variety  of  coun-­ tries,  including  Egypt,  Canada,  Cuba,  Italy  and  France,  were  rep-­ resented.  For  Ellis,  one  of  the  highlights  of  the  festival  was  the  collection  RI ¿OPV SUHVHQWHG E\ DZDUG ZLQ-­

Music review

SEAN HOOD

On guilty pleasures I  play  air  drums.  Perhaps  you’ve  seen  me  around  Burling-­ ton  with  bigger-­than-­my-­head  headphones  on,  beating  the  shit  out  of  nothing  at  all.  I  don’t  consider  this  a  guilty  pleasure,  it’s  just  something  I  do  and  have  very  little  control  over.   What  you  probably  don’t  know,  and  perhaps  can’t  even  comprehend,  is  that  when  I’m  doing  this,  I’m  most  likely  listen-­ ing  to  Counting  Crows.  Maybe  Matchbox  20,  depending  on  my  mood.

If  you’ve  read  my  column  be-­ fore,  you  know  that  I  don’t  write  about  this  sort  of  music  and  don’t  write  like  someone  who  would  even  consider  listening  to,  let  alone  writing  about,  these  kinds  of  bands.  If  you  haven’t  read  my  column,  do  yourself  a  favor.  I’m  telling  you  all  of  this  because  I’d  like  to  discuss  the  concept  of  “guilty  pleasures�  and  to  dispel  any  shame  you  might  have  about  yours.

Surely  people  have  their  own  GH¿QLWLRQV RI ZKDW D JXLOW\ SOHD-­

sure  is,  what  the  concept  means  to  them  and  how  it  makes  them  feel.   I’ll  leave  it  for  you  to  dis-­ cuss  with  your  friends  all  of  the  subtleties  that  combine  to  pro-­ duce  guilt  —  you  don’t  have  to  tell  them  about  “that  one  Train  songâ€?  that  you  love  if  you  don’t  want  to  —  and  hope  that  we  all  have  a  relatively  similar  under-­ standing  of  the  term.  Americans  know  a  thing  or  two  about  guilt.  Our  country  was  practically  founded  on  the  idea  that  this  excruciating  emotion  makes  one  a  worthy  citizen  and  human  being,  and  we  continue  to  live  within  its  merciless  grip  hundreds  of  years  later.  Â

I truly believe that, at least when it comes to music, people’s guilty pleasures make them happier than anything they can openly admit to loving.

Guilt,  I’m  prepared  to  ar-­ gue,  constitutes  the  core  of  our  American  personalities.  It  is  this  guilt  that  determines  our  actions  and  triggers  our  often  reckless  reactions.  This  guilt  extends  to  our  eat-­ ing  habits,  our  sexual  fetishes,  our  taste  for  blockbuster  cinema  and  our  hush-­hush  love  of  Deli-­ lah.  We’re  living  it,  so  we  might  as  well  embrace  it,  right?   Guilty  pleasures  are  sources  of  comfort  that  we  don’t  have  the Â

vocabulary  —  or  perhaps  even  the  ability  —  to  describe  and  ex-­ plain  to  others.   For  this  reason,  we’ve  stopped  trying  to  communicate  our  most  sincere  passions,  musi-­ cal  and  otherwise,  to  others  and  have  opted  to  live  with  them  in  the  backs  of  our  closets  and  un-­ der  our  mattresses.   As  a  generation  in  a  never-­ ending  state  of  turmoil,  our  guilty  pleasures  provide  us  with  the  majority  of  the  reassurance  available  to  us.   Now  don’t  get  me  wrong,  I  think  Bob  Dylan  is  one  of  the  most  provocative  and  mind-­ blowing  songwriters  of  all  time  —  is  that  an  overstatement?  —  and  Van  Morrison  never  fails  to  inspire  me  in  a  million  different  ways.  But  when  a  bad  day  gets  worse,  I  want  nothing  less  than  to  listen  to  those  dudes.   It  is  for  this  reason  that  Adam  Duritz,  front  man  of  the  Counting  Crows,  is  up  there  with  the  very  best  on  my  top  10  list  of  songwriters.  And  I’m  not  ashamed.

I  truly  believe  that,  at  least  when  it  comes  to  music,  people’s  guilty  pleasures  make  them  hap-­ pier  than  anything  they  openly  admit  to  loving.   You  can  pretend  you  only  sing  along  to  the  “bad�  radio  with  your  friends  because  y’all  are  so  funny,  but  you  know  you  love  it.   And  your  friends  love  it.   And  I  want  you  to  know  that  I  love  it,  too.   And  so  does  Mr.  Jones.

I’m  not  ashamed,  and  you  shouldn’t  be  either.

COLUMNISTS

From James Dean to Herman Cain. End of the story. crazy Charlie Sheen

PEYTON ROSENTHAL

Recently I’ve noticed a trend;; there’s this fascination with people other than our-­ selves, outside the realm of our own lives. People have become concerned with the lives of the rich and famous, the known and wealthy merchandizers of today’s social hierarchy.

People like Paris Hilton and Kate Middleton are plastered on magazines and across head-­ lines. What just makes their lives so much more interest-­ ing?

They seem to all be beauti-­ ful and perfect people, aside from the occasional DUI or coke bust, yet these people are our idols. Hilton has her own line of perfume. Charlie Sheen has a new comedy tour that is sold out, besides the fact that reading his Tweets is also in-­ credibly entertaining, and free!

But what happened to the respectable celebrity, like the Elizabeth Taylor? She was an accomplished movie star, with seven, but she was talented, right?

She’s in a whole different league than people like Hilton or. Some people seem to think she deserves her fame more than reality starlets and F-­list actors. This might not even be something worthwhile to consider.

We should all recognize that there are differences be-­

tween Paris Hilton and Eliza-­ beth Taylor, between James Dean and Charlie Sheen. It’s important to understand Tay-­ lor was a talented actress with a passion for men, and Paris Hilton is merely a rich heiress with a bunch of great lawyers.

Dean, who starred in just WKUHH ¿OPV EHIRUH KLV XQWLPHO\ death, was and still is a Hol-­ lywood icon. Sheen, a mildly talented actor with a successful career, has been a train wreck of late. He’s taken his rants and Tweeting to the extreme — he’s addicted to our attention.

It isn’t so much that people like Hilton and Sheen make us laugh at their stupidity, it’s the fact that we continue to watch and support them.

What happened to the respectable celebrity, like Elizabeth Taylor?

We feed their empire of power and only make them hungrier for more. All that should be recognized is that there is a difference between these two types of people.

There are people trained and meant to bring tears to our eyes, tears full of respect and wonder and there are people who make us appreciate our own lives by laughing at the incredulity of theirs.

Clearly there are different kinds — the designated actors, the reality stars, and then pub-­ lic personas. It’s all what you make of them really, our own selves, this popular culture, is what feeds and creates these people.

Herman Cain is a fan of brevity.

The businessman-­turned-­ candidate has a penchant for answering complex questions with simple answers, adding D WRXFK RI ¿QDOLW\ WR OHW XV DOO know he’s said all there is to say on the matter.

“I’m 100 percent pro-­life.

End of story.” “Herman Cain has never sexually harassed anyone. Period. End of story.”

“The Cain Train takes the high road. End of story.”

Among these simplistic analyses was Cain’s assertion refusal to back down from remark he made in March that Planned Parenthood is is per-­ petuating a “planned genocide” of black people.

Cain went on to say that the that when Margaret Sanger created Planned Parenthood, the organization’s intitial purpose was to “help kill black babies before they came into the world,” and urged voters to “check their history.”

Research by the nonpar-­ tisan Guttmacher Institute disputes Cain’s assertion that the majority of Planned Par-­ enthood clinics were in black neighborhoods.

A Guttmacher study found that 63 percent of Planned Par-­ enthood clinics are in majority white neighborhoods, while just 9 percent are in majority black neighborhoods.

It is true that black women have abortions at much higher rates than white women, but Cain looks to this statistic as suggesting that Planned Parenthood is aggressively attempting to prevent blacks from reproducing, instead of looking at the larger problem.

Inner-­city black women often do not have access to affordable contraception, and Planned Parenthood is often the only option these women have for family planning. Only 3 percent of Planned Paren-­ hood’s services are abortion;; the vast majority of services include counseling, sex educa-­ tion, and contraception.

Cain grossly distorts the mission of the reproductive rights movement in the United States.

Margaret Sanger was a sup-­ porter of reproductive rights for women, and opened the QDWLRQ¶V ¿UVW ELUWK FRQWURO FOLQLF in 1921. She was a supporter of negative eugenics, which discouraged people considered undesirable from reproducing.

But eugenics and genocide are not synonymous — though negative eugenics was a ratio-­ nale for the Holocaust, Sanger spoke out against euthanasia of those deemed undesirable to reproduce.

And though Cain cor-­ rectly pointed out that “Sanger founded one of the precursors to Planned Parenthood,” he failed to note that the clinic that Sanger opened was in a predominantly white neighbor-­ hood in Brooklyn.

Though Margaret Sanger played a large role in the cre-­

ation of Planned Parenthood, it is not fair to blanketly equate her politics to that of the orga-­ nization in 2011.

Cain grossly distorts the mission of the reproductive rights movement in the United States — to provide contracep-­ tion so women can plan for their health and control when they have or don’t have chil-­ dren.

PolitiFact, a website that re-­ searches politician’s statements to determine their validity, gave Cain’s remarks about Sanger and Planned Parenthood it’s ORZHVW UDWLQJ ² ³SDQWV RQ ¿UH ´ Cain’s logic seems to be this: Margaret Sanger was racist, therefore Planned Par-­ enthood is racist. While that hastily drawn conclusion may satify conservatives voters, it LV PLVOHDGLQJ WR FRQÀDWH WKH politics of Margaret Sanger 80 years ago with the practices of Planned Parenthood today.

Cain’s fondness of tweet-­ length analysis makes for great sound bites, but it shortchanges issues that deserve discussion, not one-­liners.

It’s also not a wise practice to urge voters to check their history when after they’ll dis-­ cover you’re full of nonsense.

The debate over reproduc-­ tive rights cannot be summed up as succinctly as Cain would like, and his outright lies about the history and mission of Planned Parenthood prevents honest debate from occurring.

Cain has proved to be remarkably inconsistent as a candidate, and his irresponsible mischaracterization of an issue that affects half the popula-­ tion of this country makes him a poor choice for president.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We can’t wait: helping manage student loan debt around the US Over the last few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to get out of Washington and talk with folks across the country about how we can create jobs and get our economy growing faster.

This is a tough time for a lot of Americans — especially young people. You’ve come of age at a time of profound change. The world has gotten more connected, but it’s also gotten more competitive.

For the last three years, we’ve worked to stabilize the economy, and we’ve made some progress. And now, as you’re getting ready to head out into the world, many of you are watching your friends DQG FODVVPDWHV VWUXJJOH WR ¿QG work. You’re wondering what’s in store for your future, and I know that can be scary.

At the University of Colo-­ rado at Denver, I announced steps we’re taking to make college more affordable and to make it even easier for stu-­ dents like you to get out of debt

faster.

Michelle and I know what it feels like to leave school with a mountain of debt. By the time we both graduated from law school, we had about $120,000 worth of debt between us, which took almost 10 years to pay off.

Living with that much debt forces you to make some tough choices. And when a big chunk of every paycheck goes toward student loans, it isn’t just pain-­ ful for you — it’s painful to our economy and harmful to our recovery.

That’s why we’re making changes that will give about 1.6 million students the ability to cap their loan payments at 10 percent of their income starting next year.

We’re also going to take steps to help you consolidate your loans so that instead of making multiple payments to multiple lenders every month, you only have to make one payment a month at a better interest rate.

We want to start giving students a simple fact sheet called “Know Before You Owe”

so you can have all the infor-­ mation you need to make your own decision about paying for college.

These changes will make a real difference for millions of Americans. We’ll help more \RXQJ SHRSOH ¿JXUH RXW KRZ WR afford college. We’ll put more money in your pocket after you graduate. And we’ll give our economy a boost at a time when it desperately needs it.

That’s not just important for our country right now — it’s important for our future.

Michelle and I are where we are today because our college education gave us a chance.

In the weeks ahead, I’m going to keep doing everything in my power to make a differ-­ ence for the American people — including young people like you. When we face a challenge, we meet it. We don’t wait. And I hope you’ll join me.

Sincerely, Barack Obama 44th President of the United States

NFL Picks Week 9 By  Will  Andreycak Sports  Editor

NFL  notes:  Week  8 By  Jake  Bielecki Staff  Writer

Rumors  of  the  Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  demise  were  greatly  exaggerated.  I  stated  recently  the  common  misconception  that  the  Steelers  defense  is  old  and  slow,  but  they  proved  me  wrong  on  Sunday.  The  Patriots  pass-­rush  made  the  Steelers  offensive  line  look  good,  and  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  easy  task.  The  defense  is  a  serious  problem,  and  the  questions  greatly  outnumber  the  answers.  Why  do  we  trade  all  our  JRRG FRUQHUV" :K\ DUHQÂśW ZH ÂżQGLQJ SDVV UXVKHUV" Why  does  Bill  Belichick  get  so  much  credit  when  Tom  Brady  essentially  runs  the  offense  and  commands  the  defense?  The  defense  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  been  good  for  years  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  what  is  he  contributing  other  than  his  presence? Â

Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Sunday,  Nov.  6,  1  p.m.

WA

New  Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  revival  will  continue  in  Buffalo  as  a  rested  Jets  de-­ fense  will  bottle  up  Fred  Jackson  and  force  Ryan  Fitzpatrick  into  making  costly  turnovers  down  the  stretch. Â

ME, Â JK

New England Patriots vs. New York Giants  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Sunday,  Nov.  6,  4:15  p.m.

If  the  Patriots  lose  to  the  Giants  on  Sunday,  they  will  have  the  unenviable  task  of  trying  to  end  a  three-­game  losing  streak  the  following  week  on  the  road  against  the  Jets.  If  that  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  enough  motivation,  revenge  for  the  Super  Bowl  loss  to  the  Giants  should  VXIÂżFH

 Tom  Brady  can  win  with  anyone  playing  the  receiver  position,  but  it  would  be  a  lot  easier  if  the  Patriots  invested  in  a  deep  threat.  Brady  can  throw  short  and  intermediate  timing  patterns  with  the  best  RI WKHP EXW D GRZQÂżHOG WKUHDW ZRXOG UHDOO\ JLYH WKH Patriots  offense  a  better  balance.  Chad  Ochocinco  is  a  shell  of  himself,  Welker  and  Branch  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  ideal  deep  threats,  and  the  tight  end  position  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  lend  itself  to  that  role.  I  miss  watching  Brady  dip  his  back  shoulder  and  uncork  a  sky-­scraping  bomb  to  Randy  Moss.  The  offense  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  good  enough  to  mask  the  Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  atrocious  defense  against  elite  teams.  Does  anyone  have  Terrell  Owensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  number?

 WA,  ME  JK

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Â Sunday, Â Nov. Â 6, Â 8:20 Â p.m.

Pittsburgh  earned  the  title  of  best  team  in  the  AFC  last  week  when  they  beat  New  England.  Baltimore  has  been  up  and  down  all  year,  and  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  imagine  that  Pittsburgh  loses  to  Baltimore  for  the  second  time  this  year  with  this  one  in  Pittsburgh.

WA, Â ME, Â JK

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Chicago Bears  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Monday,  Nov.  7,  8:30  p.m. Â

WA

I  am  buying  back  into  Philadelphia  after  their  dominant  perfor-­ mance  against  Dallas.  Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  talented  secondary  allows  them  to  use  more  of  their  front  seven  to  shut  down  the  Bears  running  game  and  put  pressure  on  quarterback  Jay  Cutler.  Cutler  and  pressure  tra-­ ditionally  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mix  well:  The  Eagles  revival  continues.
